Chapter 111: Food
On the other side, the baker and his gang had already prepared and waited anxiously.
As soon as they saw Qin Chuan coming back and still holding something in their hands, they couldn't help but take it excitedly and began to deal with it quickly.
Qin Chuan found that the cooking utensils they tossed were also professional enough, and they dug a pit deep enough for everyone to hide in it, and piled up some rammed earth around it, and used gasoline barrels to make a fire inside and covered it with canvas outside, and the light could not penetrate at all, and what made Qin Chuan even more impressed was that it was downstream of the wind direction, and the smell of smoke would be blown in the opposite direction of the camp, so the German soldiers who were sleeping in the barracks would not smell any strange smell.
The baker skillfully washed the hen and threw it into the pot where the water had been boiled, and Alfredo sprinkled a little spice from nowhere into the pot and covered it, and then waited anxiously.
Of course, there were also secret sentinels outside, and the soldiers didn't want anyone to surround them and not know anything.
"You say, will they find out that the hen is missing and start looking?" Yakop asked worriedly.
"I don't think so!" Qin Chuan replied: "They are more concerned about whether there is hostility, as for this hen ......"
Qin Chuan raised his head towards the pot and said, "They want it to be as quiet as possible!" ”
Werner suddenly laughed: "What would the general's expression be if the next day he found out that his hen was gone?" ”
"He must be thinking, where am I going to have eggs today? Why haven't they sent me a ...... yet," the baker replied.
"Unfortunately, General!" Alfredo said, "Your hen is in our pot, and it will be in our belly in a moment!" ”
The soldiers couldn't help but laugh "eat".
After a while, the long-lost fragrance came out from the edge of the pot lid, and it was only then that Qin Chuan understood why the soldiers were willing to risk being punished and "become traitors", because this smell was really not something that ordinary people could resist...... If this was not long ago, Qin Chuan would not believe anything, because a chicken is really nothing to a modern person like him, he can eat it whenever he wants and it has become a trick, but in this era and in the army in a combat state, a chicken can undoubtedly be called a delicacy.
Werner tried to uncover the pot several times, but the baker stopped him.
"If you want to get the perfect chicken soup, you'll have to be a little patient!" The baker said.
After more than half an hour, it was finally done.
At this time, Qin Chuan couldn't help but admire the order of the Germans in his heart, even at this time, they distributed one by one instead of rushing like crazy, and the baker gave him double the amount because Qin Chuan's work was particularly important, and there was even a chicken leg among them.
"No, I don't need that much!" Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed: "Because I got a sniper scope." ”
"Forget it, Sergeant!" The baker laughed and said, "That's for you!" ”
"What?" Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's what the captain gave me this morning!" The baker explained: "You were training at that time, and the captain asked me to hand it over to you, and I put it in my bag and forgot about it, and then ......"
"You liar!" Qin Chuan scolded.
The soldiers burst out laughing.
In the end, the pot of chicken soup was drunk to the bottom, and there was no soup left, and the soldiers couldn't help but sigh that it was probably the most delicious meal they had ever eaten.
"I'd like to ask the general what they used to raise this chicken!" The baker burped.
"It won't be gunpowder!" Werner's answer made the soldiers laugh again.
The soldiers did not dare to slack off, they buried everything that could be used as evidence, such as chicken feathers, leftover bones, etc., and finally sprinkled a layer of dry soil on them to cover up.
The training of the troops has made them so good at doing these that no one can find the slightest clue.
But there is a saying that "if you don't know, you can't do it unless you do", and the soldiers seem to be doing a very tight job, but there are still flaws.
The next morning, when the cooks went to pick up the eggs, they looked at the empty chicken coop and were stunned.
"Where did you get it?" The cook asked the guard.
"What?" The guard ran over and was surprised to find that the hen had disappeared at some point.
The news soon reached General Stryker, who was enjoying breakfast, and he couldn't help but throw his knife and fork on the table, and then said to the adjutant: "You go and find out who did it, find him out!" ”
"Yes!" The adjutant responded.
For General Stryk, it was not just a matter of one chicken, the chickens themselves did not mean much, and ten or even a hundred chickens could be transported from Tobruk at any time if he needed them.
But this incident exposed a hole in the guard company's defenses...... A company of guards surrounded the division headquarters and could steal the chickens unknowingly, and even found out until the next morning, either the incompetence of the guard company or the cleverness of the soldiers who stole the chickens.
If this soldier wants to steal not chickens, but to plant a time bomb under each "Mammoth" command vehicle...... General Stryker couldn't even think of what was going on.
What's more, General Stryker felt that this violated his dignity, and that his soldiers dared to ignore his existence in such a way, and if he did not find these people and punish them, then he would become the laughing stock of the army, and at the same time, he would not be able to establish his own prestige and command the troops in the future.
In fact, this should be said to be "the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise", if General Stryk is smart enough, he should not take it seriously, or just think that the chicken ran away because the cage was not closed properly, so as to really maintain his prestige.
Otherwise, if you dig deeper, it will not be good for him whether you find it or not.
Because the officers and men of the whole division and even the entire African army knew that such a bold soldier had stolen and eaten the general's chicken, the prestige of General Stryk was immediately lost, and it might even reach the Italian army.
Then, there was no finding that would show General Stryker's incompetence.
Found ...... And what about these soldiers who will die on the battlefield at any time? What's more, a general scheming with a soldier for a chicken? This can only show that Stryker's general strength is too small.
But the Germans are more rigorous and a little dull at the same time, and General Stryker, who is a German, is no exception, and when his dignity is violated, he simply wants to fight back to protect his reputation.
This also caused Qin Chuan and the others to suffer a small torture......
