193. The Chef of the Company
Despite this, at that time, the army was the same as in society, the rich and the poor were polarized, and those officers who drank the blood of soldiers not only ate empty salaries, but also deducted soldiers' salaries, and even stuttered food, they had to squeeze oil and water fiercely.
I heard that before Lao Hu became the commander of the 7th Company, the cooking squad leader and the special agent chief (secretary general) were all relatives of the company commander, brother-in-law, little nephew or something, and together they deducted everyone's rations.
Buy some of the worst rice, the old rice with sand and gravel that has been backlogged for many years, that rice, eating in the mouth, has been gnashing and difficult to swallow.
The dishes eaten are almost invisible meat dishes, they are all boiled in a pot of rotten vegetable leaves, radish and taro, and pig food, extremely occasionally there will be a little meat vegetables, broth, a pot of water, a few pieces of fat floating on it, hit in the bowl, and you can't see the slightest oil flower.
Lao Hu took everyone to make trouble a few times, but the company commander had a lot of backing and was useless, and then everyone stayed up until the black-hearted company commander was transferred to other troops, and everyone clapped and celebrated.
As soon as Lao Hu took office, he immediately drove away the cooking squad leader and the spy chief, and everyone finally lived a good life.
His own material needs are also very low, he doesn't open a small stove, and with the soldiers, he eats whatever he has in the cooking class, and the cooking class wants to blacken the food expenses, but he can't start, or he doesn't dare to start, the company commander eats and sleeps with the soldiers every day, whatever he wants, the company commander will know it immediately.
In fact, according to the funds of the company of the first division, there is no problem in terms of food, so everyone is not worried about eating, and naturally they also support Lao Hu.
Later, after Lao Hu was promoted to deputy battalion commander to act as the battalion commander, he also took away the cooking squad leader, and he got used to eating tastes, and the original cook in the battalion was a Shanghainese, and the dishes he cooked were sweet and greasy.
Lao Hu couldn't eat it for a few days, Lao Hu is from Jiangxi, likes to eat spicy, and wants to be very spicy, he really can't stand Shanghai food, so he transferred the cooking squad leader of the 7th company.
As soon as the cooking squad leader who was far away from the 7th company left, Niu Gu transferred Lao Li Tou to the same reason, Lao Li Tou's dishes are authentic Jiangxi Guangfeng taste, which is spicy and fresh, and it is difficult for others to make that unique local taste.
In addition, Lao Li Tou has a bodhisattva heart, and he can't see others uncomfortable, Lao Li Tou looks at these half-old children, who are still growing their bodies, but lack food and clothing, and can't help but feel sad, so they think of ways to get good food.
It can be regarded as compensating for these poor children, people even have a meal of big fish and meat before the death of the condemned prisoners, but many of these children died as soon as they went to the battlefield, and they didn't even eat good food, which made Lao Li Tou often feel guilty.
But after all, there are too many restrictions and limitations in the cooking class on the battlefield, and it is impossible to be as convenient as the kitchen of a hotel, with abundant ingredients and complete tools.
Lao Li Tou generally purchases some ingredients that are easy to preserve and carry, such as bacon/fish, salted meat/fish, dried meat, dried fish, sausages and sausages and other meat dishes, and vegetarian dishes such as potatoes, radish, taro, eggplant, beans, etc.
The seasoning is generally rapeseed oil, salt, soy sauce; Regular toppings include dried chilies, chili powder, pickles, sauces, etc.
This time, the locals of Shanghai rewarded the army and sent a lot of pork, eggs, oil and salt, rice, fruits and vegetables, biscuits, etc., and Lao Li Tou was afraid that the pork would not be eaten and spoiled, so he made salted meat with salt.
……
Breakfast is generally rice porridge, with steamed buns and pickles; Pickles include pickles, sauerkraut, chili paste, bean curd, etc.; Sometimes they will cook a large pot of noodles or noodles and mix seasonings to eat according to their tastes, such as the northern soldiers like to mix with sauce, and the southern soldiers like to mix sauerkraut and hot sauce.
If it is a march and fighting, and the soldiers can't sit down to eat, then stuff pickles into the steamed buns, one for each person, eat while walking, and have a meal on festivals, as well as boiled eggs, also one for each person.
For lunch and dinner, most of the meat dishes are steamed or stir-fried bacon/fish, bacon/fish, jerky, dried fish, sausages, eggs, etc.
If the conditions of the station are good and it is a festival day, there will be fresh side dishes, such as braised pork/fish, braised chicken/duck and other hard dishes.
Vegetarian dishes are generally shredded potatoes/slices, tiger skin peppers, radish, taro, eggplant, beans, etc.; Green vegetables are generally leafy vegetables such as cabbage and cabbage.
When marching and fighting, it is generally one meat and one vegetable, with spicy seeds, and add it yourself, so that it is easy to eat. The staple food is generally rice, and sometimes there are steamed buns and pastries to take care of the northern soldiers.
There will be dumplings, egg fried rice, fried rice noodles, hot noodle soup, etc., many times, such as festivals, everyone goes to the cooking class to help make dumplings, and it is not allowed to fight when marching and fighting, and you can eat what you have, not so particular.
……
The meal is divided into several large portions, one for each row (more than 30 people), carried by the cook, one end is the rice bucket, the other end is the vegetable basket, and when there is no soup, there will be a large pot of boiling water.
When they were picked into the position, everyone used the small iron bowl they brought with them to eat, and there were no tables and chairs, so they sat on the ground, or stood or squatted, and they were done in a few minutes.
After eating, pour some boiling water in the bowl, it is considered to wash the dishes, it is also regarded as drinking some hot water, after the meal, the kettle water is not enough, just add some, some people also bring their own tea, grab a little and soak it to drink.
Some people still bring their own dry tobacco, after the meal, everyone nests in the trenches, gossiping, you and I smoke dry tobacco, you and I drink hot tea in one sip, rare enjoyment of time, so comfortable that you don't want to.
Today we fought a battle in the morning, and in the afternoon everyone was also nervous, and at dinner Lao Li Tou specially steamed salted meat, and each person had a large piece of thick salted meat, and his mouth was full of oil.
The vegetarian dish is a tiger skin pepper, a chili pepper is a bowl of rice, the rice tube is full, add it casually, everyone is spicy and sweaty, and you have to eat non-stop, spicy and enjoyable, cool!
Everyone was refreshing in the afterglow of the sunset, and suddenly there was a "snap" of the rifle gun, which frightened everyone to throw away their jobs, immediately grabbed the guns around them, and rushed to their respective shooting positions.
Radish muttered as she ran: "I'll go, I won't be allowed to eat well, what's the matter?" ”
The old sheep (Yang Chengzu), who was at the observation post, just fired a shot, and shouted: The devil has crawled over.
Sangou leaned over and took a look, I'll go, there are not many devils, only a few people crawled there, and there was no heavy fire cover, crawled over and committed suicide? Or grab a meal?
Ignore so much, since you come to the door, you're welcome, the three dogs shouted and hit, everyone fought in ping-pong, only to see the devil, and did not go back, and climbed around and around to about 200 meters, and then no longer moved forward.
Everyone is a little confused, what kind of plane is the devil doing? What do you want to do there? Sangou didn't know why, so he could only wait and see, and after a while, those devils retreated one after another, which was strange.
