Chapter 286: Life in the Yixian Military Region (2)
Xiao Ju Niang listened to Xiao Ju's words and tried her best to stabilize her feelings, but she still felt a sense of depression in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh again and again, "Xiao Ju, I didn't expect those soldiers from the south to be so bitter and unbearable." Yesterday's small rice with sand and hard cheesecakes are not to blame for their unaccustomed eating, after all, we also find it difficult to swallow.
But today's such sweet steamed buns and fragrant millet porridge, those guys are still eating there and complaining, which makes the cooking staff in the canteen who have been busy all day very sad! You know, many cooks don't know how to make steamed buns, and I have been teaching them for a long time to make them decent.
I thought that the soldiers who came to eat today would be happy to eat these soft and fragrant steamed buns, and everyone was not tired of the day! But when a few of the little cooks who had happily gone out to listen came back, they were dejected. I couldn't help but go out of the kitchen to the eating place and take a look, alas, Chief of Staff Luo, these soldiers you brought are really squeamish! ā
Luo Sen listened to Xiao Ju Niang's somewhat indignant words, and then looked at the anger on Xiao Ju Niang's face, and then thought about the mental outlook and ideological fluctuations of the soldiers who thought that they had come from southern Anhui for so long, and also hated the Tao of iron and steel, "It seems that not only should we strengthen the political and ideological study of these guys, but also rectify and rectify them well, otherwise if this continues, our team will become a noble team!" Soldiers who can't even endure this little hardship, what are they talking about recovering the lost base areas? Liberate the whole of China? ā
"Alright, don't be angry! My strong stomach and I are so hungry! Xiao Ju saw that although Xiao Ju Niang didn't understand Lawson's words, she kept echoing on the side. I think it's a little funny. couldn't help but glance at these two people, and at the same time, he unceremoniously grabbed a steamed bun from the basket and put it in his mouth and took a big bite.
"Excuse me! Chief of Staff Law! Fill your stomach first! Xiao Juniang glanced at Lawson with some humility, and put the basket full of food on the table. And Xiao Ju quickly took out the dishes and chopsticks smuggled out at noon and served each person a bowl of millet porridge.
"This millet porridge tastes good!" Lawson took a sip from the bowl and couldn't help but praise. Indeed, even Xiao Ju, who had eaten millet porridge boiled by chefs in countless big hotels in her previous life, was amazed while drinking. Today's millet porridge in the canteen is really the level of a chef, the millet and water are fully blended together, and the drink is fragrant and smooth. You must know that millet porridge can't be boiled, and when it comes out, it's water, and millet is millet. At the same time, it is also a clear soup and little water. Ordinary and uninteresting.
"This porridge was boiled by the master of the canteen, he is a local, and he learned to make a good millet porridge when he was at home, but because boiling millet porridge is too time-consuming and firewood-consuming. So there is no construction yƬ! Today I still mentioned yƬ. Everyone considered that the soldiers from Nanli were not used to eating pancakes and small rice here. I am not afraid of the trouble to agree to try it! Xiao Juniang saw that several people in the family were satisfied, and the depression in her heart disappeared a lot. As a cook, the greatest joy is the satisfaction on the faces of the people who eat them. This is also the highest compliment for the food you cook.
"Aunt Liu, you did a good job!" Rosen laughed and boasted. And Zhuang Zhuang, who was drinking porridge, said violently, "Daddy Luo, it's not my mother's porridge, why are you praising her?" And my mother's millet porridge is not as delicious as this! These words made Xiao Juniang lose most of the joy on her face when she heard Rosen's praise.
"Zhuangzhuang, it looks like you've become stupid! Although this porridge is not boiled by the mother, but the mother is boiled! Xiao Ju saw that the mother who had become happy because of Rosen's words suddenly became dull again because of Zhuangzhuang's words, and quietly glanced at Zhuangzhuang.
"The buns were delicious! I'm going to eat one more! Zhuang Zhuang also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and reached out to take another bun from the basket as if he was busy making amends.
"Mother, you taught those cooks how to make this bun, right? It tastes good! Xiao Ju saw that Zhuang Zhuang had provoked her mother, but she didn't know how to coax her, so she had to speak by herself.
"Well, I also think it tastes good, most of the comrades say it's delicious, only a few people are muttering there that there is no rice to eat, life is too sad! Can you live this kind of life? Have enough to eat every day, still sad? Xiao Ju Niang said angrily.
"Aunt Liu is right! Feeling sad to have enough to eat? Think of the people who have no food, they should all feel ashamed! It seems that the ideological consciousness of these people is still too low! Only by adapting to the environment can there be room for survival! It seems that this whining wind needs to be braked well! Rosen said with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"Chief of Staff Luo, you don't know, I heard the fellow here in Shandong say that the soldiers from southern Anhui are all young master soldiers! I can't bear any bitterness! All of them have their hair, some of them are covered with colorful silk quilts, and some of them are still wearing silk shirts, not similar to those landlord young masters? Xiao Juniang didn't stop suing because of Rosen's bad tone.
"This may be a misunderstanding! Mother, people everywhere have different habits of life! It's not that you haven't stayed in the base area in southern Anhui, the soldiers over there like to keep their hair, and as for the silk quilt and silk clothes, it is also more produced over there, which is cheap! Xiao Ju saw that Luo Sen's face was getting darker and darker, and Xiao Ju Niang didn't know it, so she still snapped in and quickly interjected to defend the soldiers in southern Anhui.
"Yes! However, I still think the cloth clothes are more comfortable and pleasing to the eye! Xiao Ju Niang listened to Xiao Ju's words, thought about it, and felt that Xiao Ju's words also made sense, and people didn't seem to be so angry.
Lawson felt a crisis from the situation reflected by Xiao Juniang. If the soldiers from southern Anhui were allowed to continue to alienate the people of Shandong because of their language, equipment, and clothing, and at the same time, the soldiers from southern Anhui were allowed to continue to complain and resist the situation in Shandong, then the consequences would be very severe. It is very unfavorable to the internal unity of the reorganized East China Field Army, so the organization's hope that after the reorganization, the East China Field Army will become a new force with strong combat effectiveness will also be frustrated.
Because of Xiao Ju Niang's words, Luo Sen, who had an idea, asked Xiao Ju Niang carefully what he heard and saw in the canteen, and at the same time asked Xiao Ju Niang to pay attention to the remarks of the soldiers who went to the canteen to eat in the future.
"Xiaoju, what I said today isn't a big deal, right? Those people won't be punished by the troops, will they? As soon as Lawson left, Xiao Ju Niang became worried.
"Nope! It's not a big deal! You just have to find a way to make something delicious for them! Xiao Ju reassured.
"Xiaoju, how much oil do you have there? I want to make pancakes tomorrow, not the hard ones that are baked over a fire without oil, but those that are fried in oil. But there is not much oil in the canteen, and I am reluctant to put oil in the usual stir-frying! Xiao Ju Niang listened to Xiao Ju's words, but she was relieved, after all, her mind is relatively simple, she has never been in the army before, and her thoughts are also an acre and a third of land in front of her own house, so naturally she will not understand the importance of what she said to Rosen as a leader.
"This ......" Xiao Ju looked at her mother with some embarrassment, but seeing her expression of thinking about the soldiers, she couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm to go to the cafeteria as a consultant, so she had to say, "Mother, there is, but you can't take more!" And when you take it, it's better to think of the best excuse for how the oil came from! Otherwise, you'll kill your daughter!" ā
"I almost forgot! Look at my memory, I almost hurt my own daughter! Forget it! As soon as Xiao Ju Niang heard Xiao Ju's words, her face immediately showed a look of regret.
"Mother, today's steamed buns are delicious!" Xiaoju hurriedly changed the topic.
"But I think there are still some people who don't like to eat pasta, so they think that the oil cake smells good and tastes good, and these southerners who don't like pasta should love it too! Otherwise, I always eat so little, and when I fight with those **, I'm worried that these people don't even have the strength to run! Xiao Ju Niang's face was worried.
"Mother, you don't have to worry, these people will get used to it soon! And the leaders of the troops will also find a way to get some rice! Xiao Ju could only be appeased like this, and at the same time she was thinking about the possibility of her mother's worries.
After eating dinner and washing up a little, Xiao Ju asked her mother to take Zhuang Zhuang to sleep first, especially Xiao Ju Niang, who was really tired in the kitchen for a day, you must know that so many people's steamed buns are not a very simple job to do, not to mention that Xiao Ju Niang has to teach people to do it in addition to making buns.
As for Xiao Ju, he found a large piece of paper from the space with a tung oil lamp, and began to enlarge the schematic diagram of the entrance meridians of the hidden door on that paper. This is not a simple job, when Xiao Ju got the picture out, it was already two or three o'clock in the middle of the night.
Xiao Ju looked at the paper that was spread out on the dining table full of lines and acupuncture points, stretched out with satisfaction, then blew out the tung oil lamp, left the kitchen, and came to her and her mother's bedroom.
"Xiaoju, why are you doing it so late?" Xiao Ju Niang was awakened by the sound of Xiao Ju opening the door, opened her hazy sleepy eyes, and asked vaguely.
"Oh, for tomorrow's work! Mother, don't worry! I'm going to sleep! Xiao Ju took off her clothes and climbed into the bed. And Xiao Ju Niang didn't know whether to hear Xiao Ju's words clearly or just muttered subconsciously, so she just turned over and continued to sleep. Xiao Ju saw that her mother was sleeping and laughed, and she also lay down and closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. (To be continued......)
