Chapter 486: Promotion

It's the end of the work in the past few days, and there will be fewer updates, and I'll add more when the end of the period is busy. Thank you!

*****************

Soon, a pot of steaming dumplings came out of the pot.

Qin Chuan couldn't wait to scoop one and take a bite, and the fragrance immediately filled the entire cellar.

Not surprisingly, several soldiers were immediately scalded and shouted "wow...... This is a common mistake made by people who don't know how to eat dumplings, and the dumplings that have just come out of the pot are put in their mouths whole, and they are sour when you bite into them.

After being scalded once, they were obedient, and looking at Qin Chuan's way of eating, they realized that they couldn't be in a hurry, they should take a small bite first to cool it down.

"Well, it tastes great!" The baker slurred as he ate, "God, I never knew that canned food could taste like this!" ”

"That's right!" Werner looked at the dumplings in the bowl with some surprise and asked Qin Chuan: "Captain, what is this thing called?" ”

"Dumplings!" Qin Chuan replied: "I learned from a Chinese!" ”

Qin Chuan had already thought of an excuse.

"Chinese food?!" Alfredo said in disbelief, "It's incredible, why are these same things, flour, canned food, we don't even add spices, everything we are familiar with, but mix them together...... It's a complete strangeness! ”

"The most important thing is that the taste is completely different!" Dominic said, "Like the baker said, I never thought that canned food would be so delicious!" Does it taste like canned? ”

"No, not at all!" Yakop put a dumpling on his fork and looked at it in front of him, and said, "In this way, life here is not so bad!" ”

"I'm starting to love it!"

"Captain!" At this time, Colonel Slane walked in from outside with a few guards: "I heard that you carried a few bags of flour, and you seem to have forgotten the lesson of stealing chickens last time......"

Before he could finish speaking, Colonel Slane sniffed his nose, he obviously smelled the aroma of dumplings.

"What is this?" Colonel Slain asked curiously, looking at the dumplings in the soldiers' bowls.

Qin Chuan hurriedly served a bowl to Colonel Slane, and the soldiers were very clever enough to serve a bowl to each of the two guards.

"It's dumplings, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "Try it!" ”

Colonel Slain hesitated to look at the strange thing in the bowl, but eventually picked up a fork and took a bite.

Then the hesitant eyes quickly turned into surprise, and without saying a word, he put the dumplings in his mouth, and then ate faster and faster, and it didn't take long to solve the bowl of dumplings.

"Very good food, Captain!" Colonel Slane wiped his mouth and returned the bowl to Qin Chuan.

"Is this what the Soviets gave you?" Colonel Slane asked.

He thought that what he had never seen before was the specialty food of the Soviets.

"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "We did it ourselves!" ”

"Do it yourself? With what? Colonel Slain asked.

"I knew it!" The soldiers couldn't help laughing: "The colonel can't eat what it is!" ”

Looking at Colonel Slein, who looked puzzled, Qin Chuan explained: "Use the skin made of flour, and then wrap the can in it!" ”

Colonel Slain couldn't help but open his mouth for a long time, and was stunned for a while before he said, "So, is it true that you carried away the flour?" ”

"Yes, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied with some embarrassment.

"And ......" Colonel Slane touched his stomach: "I also became an accomplice?" ”

"Seems to be!"

"Okay!" Colonel Slein said, "I have to punish you unless...... Give me another bowl of dumplings! ”

There was a "coax", and the soldiers all laughed.

While eating the second bowl of dumplings, Colonel Slane asked about it, and Colonel Slain exclaimed, "God, we are so stupid!" ”

"What?" Qin Chuan was a little puzzled when he heard this.

"You know what?" Colonel Slane said: "We used to want the logistics department to get all the flour and make it into bread and distribute it to the soldiers, so we racked our brains to find a few large cellars to use as kitchens for the logistics department, but now we ......."

As he spoke, Colonel Slain raised the dumplings on his fork and said, "Why do we do this? When bread is sent to a soldier, it freezes like a stone, and if you want to eat hot food, you have to bake it in a fire for a while, and the same is true for canned food. And they can eat even more delicious hot food! ”

"Colonel means ......"

"Captain!" Colonel Slane said: "Why don't we teach them this method and then just put flour and cans into their hands and let them make their own!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan also felt that this method was feasible.

The first is that every cellar needs to be lit on fire, whether it is to cook food or not.

The second is that making dumplings and noodles is not complicated at all, the former is just kneading the dough, making the skin and then wrapping the canned food, and the latter is the problem of cutting the dough into flakes with a knife, as long as the soldiers are trained a little, it does not take long to master the production method.

Thirdly, it can greatly reduce the workload of the logistics department.

More importantly, soldiers can eat hot food, which can more effectively reduce frostbite and gastrointestinal diseases, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

"But we can't distribute all the supplies!" Qin Chuan said: "We also need bread, because we need dry food to carry with us in case of emergency!" ”

"Yes!" Colonel Slein nodded: "Such as combat and transfer, or special circumstances that cannot be cooked!" ”

So the program was quickly launched.

First of all, the practice of these things was done by the cooking soldiers of the logistics department of the Qinchuan Church, and then the cooking soldiers extended the practice to the entire army.

Qin Chuan also taught them to make frozen dumplings on a whim...... It seems easy to do this in a place of minus tens of degrees, as long as you leave the finished dumplings outdoors for a while, they will freeze as hard as stones.

Then pack and put these dumplings bag by bag, and if you want to eat them at any time, you only need to boil a few of them and throw them into the pot.

So it didn't take long for the cellar to be filled with the smell of noodles and dumplings, and only pity the Soviet people who remained in Holm...... The Soviet people only had a small amount of surplus food hidden in the dark, and there were not a few who were hungry, and they could only watch the aroma wafting from the cellars of the German army.

It was impossible for the Germans to distribute their supplies to the people, especially when they were surrounded by Soviet troops, because they could not be cut off one day due to the weather or the Soviet air blockade, and the Germans had to store some food for themselves.

However, the Germans would not let these civilians leave, because the Germans needed some labor from them, such as building fortifications.
