Chapter Eighty-Five: A Hand Out
Zhu Xiangjun and the assistant director came to the cooking class and saw that Xu Yi was busy cooking, so they came over to help.
"Xiao Xu! Let me stir-fry today, you can wash those celery! Zhu Xiangjun said to Xu Yi while taking out a piece of meat from the freezer.
"Squad Leader Zhu! You really know how to stir-fry! Xu Yi seemed to be a little unconvinced.
"Will I finish it in a while, you can taste it and you will know." Zhu Xiangjun said while washing meat at the faucet.
"Okay! Then I'll do your chores for you, and I'll see your craft today. After Xu Yi finished washing the celery, he took a piece of cutting board and put it on the table in front of Zhu Xiangjun.
At this time, Zhu Xiangjun first put aside the washed meat, and then cut the handful of celery with an oblique knife. After that, put some water in the wok again. After boiling, put the celery in the pot and simmer for a while.
"Squad Leader Zhu! Why do you have to soak this fried celery first! Xu Yi seemed to be a little puzzled.
"This! It is because this celery is a coarse fiber vegetable, only by soaking it first, so that the fried vegetables will feel more tender, and if you don't so, the fried celery will not feel more 'old' and not delicious. ”
"Ahh I see! I know it, it seems that you really know some knowledge of stir-frying! Now hearing Zhu Xiangjun say this, Xu Yi already feels that Zhu Xiangjun is not bragging.
Now the deputy director saw that he had nothing to do in this cooking class, so he said to Zhu Xiangjun; "You two are cooking here! I went to the commissary to buy two bottles of beer, and since it was a celebration, it couldn't be without wine! ”
"Instructor! Why don't you let me buy it! This is a celebration for me, how can you make you pay! Zhu Xiangjun felt embarrassed to let the leader spend money on his own business.
"Hey! Zhu Xiangjun! What's polite, you can just stir-fry the dishes yourself, how can you still break the bank! How much allowance do you have a month, and I get a salary anyway. These two bottles of beer are only a few bucks! How can I let you out again! ”
As he spoke, the assistant director took a look at his coat pocket to see how much money was in it.
"Oh well! Xie Lu, thank you, deputy director, when I get the notice, I will definitely invite you to dinner again, and I will pay for it then. "Zhu Xiangjun is still very polite, after all, the deputy director is also a leader! And he was also the instructor of his recruit company.
"Okay! At that time, the six of us left behind will let you have a treat! The assistant director laughed as he turned around and left.
Zhu Xiangjun's celery fried meat is almost the same. And then it was served.
"Squad Leader Zhu! It smells so good! Your craftsmanship is really good! Xu Yi said while looking at the fragrant hot dishes.
"That's it! Don't look at it, put it outside first, and I'll scramble another scrambled egg with tomatoes. Zhu Xiangjun asked Xu Yi to take the dish out, and he fried another dish.
Xu Yi now brought the plate of celery fried meat to the table in the restaurant, and secretly tasted it, and secretly admired Zhu Xiangjun's stir-fried vegetable skills.
After a while, Zhu Xiangjun had already fried a few dishes, and the assistant director also bought the beer back. And by the way, several veterans who worked in the vegetable field were also called back.
"Damn! Vice-director! What day is it? Why do you want to be so rich! And beer to drink! A veteran looked at the table of food and was happy but puzzled.
"Zhu Xiangjun didn't take the military exam today, he felt that he did well. You also know that he is 'special care' in the regiment. This time, the 'Gold List Title' is certain. This is not to celebrate in advance. The assistant director said as he beckoned everyone to sit down.
"Come, come, come! Anyway, if I can be admitted to the military academy or not, just a few of us should be left behind to celebrate. Zhu Xiangjun poured everyone a glass of beer, and then raised the glass first.
Xu Yi held the cup and said with a smile: "The seedlings in your group can't pass the test." Just wait for another treat! After saying that, everyone drank it all.
"That's it! After drinking, let's eat! Today is my Zhu Xiangjun's craft, everyone taste it! Give your opinion! Zhu Xiangjun didn't forget to tell others that those dishes were fried by himself.
"Hmmm! Not bad! Zhu Xiangjun! I didn't think you still had this hand. If you knew this, should you be the head of the cooking class? The assistant director joked with Zhu Xiangjun while eating vegetables.
"Yes! I also forgot that when I left the company, I should have suggested to Squad Leader Li to come to the cooking class! Zhu Xiangjun also laughed with the assistant director. ,
"Ha Lu Ha! Don't be funny, Zhu Xiangjun! How can a talent like you be assigned to the cooking class! It's useless even if you suggest it! The assistant director took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"Ha Lu Ha! Ha Lu Ha! ---" Several other veterans laughed when they heard this.
But this is Xu Yi, but he lowered his head and didn't smile. After all, he was a little embarrassed by the assistant director's unintentional words.
Zhu Xiangjun inadvertently saw Xu Yi's silent expression at this time, and he was a little embarrassed by what Deputy Director Lu Dao said just now.
"Vice-director! Hurry up and eat the vegetables! We must finish all these dishes! Soldiers can't afford to waste food! Zhu Xiangjun diverted the topic and didn't talk about the cooking class.
"Good! Let's all shake off their cheeks and eat! Being able to eat and be able to do that is the standard of a soldier. The assistant director's words made everyone laugh again.
The lunch on this day was more meaningful to Zhu Xiangjun, and it was also the happiest meal since he re-enlisted.
After lunch, everyone took a break. In the afternoon, Zhu Xiangjun went to work in the vegetable field with everyone. He also thought that he was about to go to military school, and he couldn't take care of the vegetable field for a few days, so he also worked hard to water the vegetable field in his class and apply some fertilizer.
Looking at these thriving vegetables, Zhu Xiangjun wondered if his life was going to 'thrive' once.
Oh, yes! This has the 'special care' of the regiment, as well as the 'special relationship' of Nurse Yang, and more importantly, he is reborn to participate in the military examination, and he knows all the questions, and his score must not be bad. If you can't get into the military school again, then you can really be regarded as a 'ghost'.
Zhu Xiangjun has been very excited in the past few days, but he is also very nervous. I'm excited that my dream will come true soon. Nervous is that he has an inexplicable feeling, always afraid of what to do if he hits a 'ghost'!
