Chapter 155 Eating
Chapter 155: Eating
As soon as he entered the so-called canteen, Liu Zhenxiao immediately regretted it, as far as he could see, there was not a complete table, there was not a single chair that was not broken, all of them were the kind of tatters that were repaired with wooden strips and vines, as if they would fall down as soon as they rubbed and collapsed as soon as they sat down.
The ground was full of mud and rags, the corners were piles of garbage, and the roof was full of cobwebs, which made Liu, who had been well-dressed and well-fed all year round, feel that he didn't know where to walk into the canteen and where to sit.
Of course, all of this was deliberately arranged by Shi Bin, but except for the queue and standing military posture, they were all suddenly thought up this morning.
can't be too embarrassed Liu Zhenxiao, Shi Bin 'reprimanded' Xu Feng fiercely, saying that he was too ignorant, and personally opened the way, making a way that Liu Zhenxiao still dared to move forward.
"Lord Shi, our soldiers are eating in this place, you didn't fool me, did you?"
This made Shi Bin very surprised, I thought that this unconscionable person would take the opportunity to make trouble and put on a reprimand, but I didn't expect that there was still some thoughtfulness, but it made Shi Bin and the others have a slight change in their opinion of him.
"Yes, Lord Liu. This is still after Lord Shi served as the commander of Tanzhou, and only then did he have these tinkered tables and chairs, if there were not even these broken tables and stools before. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lord Shi left here, he became like this again, although the chairs and stools were still there, they were still a garbage heap inside. Wang San said angrily.
"My lord, the lower officer hasn't eaten in the military canteen for a while, and now he can be nostalgic, but I'm afraid that the adult can't stand this coarse tea and light meal. If there is any rudeness, please Haihan. Shi Bin said with a smile.
Liu Zhenxiao has already heard enough of these polite words, even fools know that the food in the army is the most tasteless, and it is estimated that it is not much better than pig food.
Not long after sitting down, Liu Zhenxiao smelled a strong fishy smell, and then saw a pot as big as a basin being brought up and put on the table, and there were two grass carp about three catties in it. Looking at the appearance of the fish is still fresh, but what makes people feel speechless is that there is obviously not much oil in the fish soup, and the clear soup is not watery; The fishy smell that rushed to his nose also made him understand that there must not be vinegar and garlic covered with fishy smell in it; I inserted the chopsticks and felt that the meat was not bad, and it didn't disperse, but when I opened my mouth to taste it, it made him feel very painful, and he didn't taste a little salt.
Looking at Liu Zhenxiao with a bitter gourd face, Shi Bin actually felt a little pity for him in his heart, and he was not a heinous person, but just insensitive.
However, I still plan to let him try the delicacy of the army again - 'cabbage stewed vermicelli'.
After about a cup of tea, the cabbage stewed vermicelli was also served in a pot.
"Lord Shi, what's the slimy stuff in this pot?" This time, Liu Zhenxiao's face is no longer described by bitter gourd, and he seems to be suspected of wanting to get up and rush back to the city or go out directly to vomit.
"Lord Liu, this is authentic cabbage stewed vermicelli." Shi Bin replied with a smile.
Cabbage stewed vermicelli? It can be regarded as completely subverting Liu Zhenxiao's understanding of this famous dish in the Northeast. The cabbage stewed vermicelli he had eaten was full of color and flavor, and the grass carp before could at least be seen to be a fish, and the cabbage stewed vermicelli in front of him couldn't even see the cabbage and vermicelli, so he could only feel that it was just a pot of edible paste.
"Master Shi, don't bring people like this. Although this official is not from the Northeast, he has still eaten cabbage stewed vermicelli a few times, where is this famous Northeast dish, it is a ball of paste. Liu Zhenxiao said with a little anger.
"My lord, you don't understand, this is called a big pot dish, and what you eat is a small stove. The heat of the cauldron is difficult to master, it is likely that the bottom is burnt but the top is still raw, so you have to stir hard, the army is a few guys, not cooks, the stirring force is too strong to break the vermicelli into a paste..." Shi Bin didn't expect it to look like this, but fortunately, he had also cooked, at least he knew that the vermicelli was easy to break into a paste, and he could explain it calmly.
Liu Zhenxiao is not exactly a nerd, after eating so many banquets, he naturally knows that what Shi Bin said is reasonable, so he can only turn off the fire and eat. What makes him feel comfortable is that although the appearance of this cabbage stewed vermicelli is a little worse, the taste is still authentic.
In the end, a pot of steamed buns was brought up, about 30 of which were for Shi Bin's table of officials.
Since they are all officials, of course, they pay attention to eating and sitting, and they will not gobble up, so that Liu Zhenxiao has the leisure to see the meals of those low-level officers and ordinary soldiers at the tables next to him.
"Master Shi, what is the black bun in that pot?" Liu Zhenxiao asked suspiciously.
"Master Hui, that's a black-faced steamed bun." Wang San replied with a smile.
Liu Zhenxiao's family is a landlord, and he has never known white-faced steamed buns, and he doesn't know what black-faced steamed buns are, but he knows Guanyin soil.
Seeing that Liu Zhenxiao was puzzled, Wang San explained: "Lord Liu, this black flour bun is also a noodle dish, but the raw material is not wheat, but black rice noodles, and the taste is much worse than that of white flour buns." ”
At this time, Liu Zhenxiao no longer doubted the words of Shi Bin and others, just looking at the fish and cabbage stewed vermicelli was enough. But human curiosity is always endless, and since the low-ranking officers and soldiers are very satisfied, he also wants to see how much worse this so-called 'too bad' is. And made an excuse for himself to 'get to know the warriors in depth'.
Seeing that Liu Zhenxiao wanted to eat this yellow-noodle steamed bun so much, Shi Bin and others were also so happy, so it would be good for him, a person who didn't know how to suffer, to taste these more.
When I first ate it, the black bun was of course still a little fresh, but after eating less than half of it, Liu Zhenxiao became a bitter gourd face, in the end, it was a coarse grain, and it would not be so delicate and lubricated, because the bite was not fine enough, and the swallowing was too urgent, and the result was that it stuck in the throat, and it took a while to ease up.
Of course, he apologized to Liu Zhenxiao again, but after such a big scandal, he originally wanted to 'understand the warrior deeply', so that he couldn't lose his temper, and everything could only be endured.
"My lord, in fact, there is a kind of corn bun, which is from the north, and the northerners call it 'stick noodles'. The taste is even worse, and it is easy to eat too much and it is difficult to go to the toilet. ”
Having trouble using the toilet? This frightened Liu Zhenxiao again, at this time he didn't want to stay in this ghost place anymore, he just wanted to go back to the city and return to his mansion as soon as possible to rest.
But you can't say this clearly, it will look too weak and embarrassing, and you will never be able to raise your head in front of Shi Bin and others in the future, so you can only continue to endure it.
Shi Bin was a little impressed when he saw that Liu Zhenxiao could still endure it until now, and finally his heart softened, and he said: "My lord, I see that you are also tired, let's get here today." Do you think you should rest here or go back to the city immediately? ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Zhenxiao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, of course he chose to return to the city immediately, but he was worried that if he continued to stay here, there would be something unexpected about it, so he immediately agreed.
