From the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, after the regiment leader visited the third company of recruits, Chen Qiang was called by the company commander to "kick" and "kick" to the room of the recruit company.

He had to obediently come to the report of the cooking class!

Li Guoqiang, the squad leader of the recruit company who was in charge of the "kitchen land", saw him coming, smiled, stepped forward and shook his hand vigorously and said: "I am Li Guoqiang, the leader of the cooking squad, and you are welcome to come to the kitchen to help cook." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I like to watch your show very much, I was red and swollen with my hands, and after I came back at night, I was so excited that I didn't sleep well all night. You're counting the "old cows" in our group!.

"Actually, when you come here, there is nothing big for you to do, and after receiving the "supreme instruction" of Company Commander Jiang, the most important thing for you is to burn the big carp of the Yellow River. Don't worry, I will arrange for others to do such rough work as killing fish, and you just need to watch the point carefully! ”

"Thank you very much! Then you're welcome! Chen Qiang struggled to pull out his right hand as he spoke, this squad leader is too enthusiastic, and he is not a Hong Kong and Taiwan star, so he can't be so enthusiastic!

As soon as he turned around, the squad leader Li took out a greasy notebook and an old fountain pen, came to him in a sneering manner, touched his head and said, "There is one more thing, please do me a favor and sign my name!" ”

Chen Qiang opened his eyes in surprise, couldn't help crying and laughing, and said: "Squad leader, I'm not a star, so I don't need this signature!" ”

"Use it! Use it! You are a star in the minds of everyone in our 78th regiment, especially in my heart, you are a big star, sign one! When the recruit company is over, I will return to the old company and show my comrades in the company, and I can't envy those guys to death! I'm going to be discharged from the army at the end of this year, and I'll keep it when I get home to see it, it's also a thought! ”

After Chen Qiang heard this, he felt very excited, and he couldn't help but salute the leader of this cooking class solemnly!

Then he took the oily notebook from his hand, turned to a new page, unscrewed the pen, and solemnly wrote on it: To my most respected squad leader Li Guoqiang! I wish you all the best in your future journey! Work hard! Spread one's wings! Happy family! Jiangsu warrior Chen Qiang!

After squad leader Li took it, he looked at it happily, danced happily, and then rushed back to his room like a treasure, carefully put it in the suck and locked it!

At this time, there were more than a dozen big carp of the Yellow River lying on the ground in front of the cooking class, Chen Qiang and the veterans of the cooking class did it together, he first carefully cut the belly of the fish with a kitchen knife, and then touched the fish gall one by one with his hands, and then stood up and said to everyone: "You can do it with confidence!" ”

"Chen Qiang, do you have fish gall in your hand, in previous years, when we were doing it, there were often people who accidentally broke the fish gall with a knife when they were killing fish, and all that dripped was yellow water dripping on the fish."

"That's it, that's it, I remember that when I finally cooked it and ate it, it was all a mouthful of bitter taste, and it was so unpalatable!"

"Your method of touching the fish gall with your hands is good, and it is not easy to break the gall with soft hands. Good idea! Good idea!. The onlookers were talking nonsense.

"Squad Leader Li, the next thing is to wash this fish, and then put it in a basin with salt all over the body, inside and out, you have to carefully wipe it all over it! Then pour more cooking wine on the top of the fish and marinate it in a basin for at least 2 hours before it comes out of the pot;

"Taking advantage of this time, I went to Balian to ask the secretary for the seasonings and spices to be used when cooking fish later, and it is estimated that they are not all here! Otherwise, it doesn't taste right at all! If it doesn't taste good, I'm not responsible! ”

"Okay, okay! Go and get back, I'm waiting for you! Chen Qiang and Team Leader Li replied one after another. After washing his hands in the pool on the side, he walked quickly to the house of the 8th Tank Company, which was 200 meters away.

Chen Qiang walked quietly on the path leading to Balian alone, looking at the mountains in winter, there are no flowers in spring, no heat waves in summer, and no golden eyes in the autumn wind.

There is only boundless tranquility here, and the endless mountains of different postures in the distance, under the lazy light of the winter sun, just stand there silently forever, as if the veterans are silently pondering something......

He couldn't help but think of Bai Juyi's "Ascending to the Highest Top of Shang Mountain": "High on the top of this mountain, there are only smoke and clouds in all directions. There is a road under it, leading to Chu and Qin. or the name tempts his heart, or he leads his body. The riders and the losers, come and go. I am also a disciple, and I can't get out of the dust. Seven years and three reciprocating, how can you laugh at others".

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Qiang couldn't help but sigh, and then adjusted his mood, came to the room of the Eighth Company, and bumped into Secretary Li outside the door, "Ah! That guy doesn't have long eyes! Yes! It's you kid, Chen Qiang! Come in! Come in! In this way, the two people politely greeted each other and entered the room.

"Let's see, who's coming!"

"Ah, Chen Qiang! Come! Give my brother a hug. ”

"I haven't seen you for a day, you kid is white again! I saw you last day more handsome than the big girl in the mountains! I'll get you a pigtail one."

"Come on, smoke a cigarette, don't bother with them, it's pigs with braids!"

The veterans teased him while touching his head. Chen Qiang suddenly felt so warm in his heart, his heart was open, and the bad mood of last night couldn't help but disappear without a trace.

He hurried to talk briefly about the task to the secretary general, and when the cooking squad leader heard this, without saying a word, he put a big bag in a bag for him, and he took it and saw that he really had everything, and a large bag of that unknown wild fruit and spice. Chen Qiang faintly felt in his heart that the reason why the fish was cooked very successfully last night was that this spice probably played a key role in it. He decided to take some home with him when he visited his family to see if there was any commercial value!

Chen Qiang didn't stay much after smoking a cigarette, and then he had time in Balian. He quickly returned to the recruits' quarters, worked with the veterans, and finally got all the carp salted! At about ten o'clock, he and the veterans cleaned the pickled carp and placed it on the edge of the stove.

At noon, Chen Qiang performed the stunt of burning the Yellow River carp in the room, and as soon as it came out of the pot, he was rushed by the veterans of the cooking class to eat one first. At the beginning, the veterans listened to the boast of the squad leader Li Guoqiang, and they were really skeptical, but they couldn't stop as soon as they stretched out their chopsticks, and everyone admired this "recruit egg" very much.

Lunch at noon, the whole company was very happy, last night "on the carp" in the first row and the second row, hesitated for a long time before moving the chopsticks, after eating full of an incredible look, surprised for a long time can not close the mouth, keep looking at the cooking class room that can be seen every day, as if there is some ulterior "mysterious weapon" hidden.

After a while, the reputation of "Chen Qiang's Kitchen" spread all over the third company of recruits, and the villagers were all vivid, as if the dishes of the Yellow River carp were cooked by themselves!

In this way, Chen Qiang showed his skills in the recruit company's room for five consecutive days, and finally "eliminated" all the carp sent by the locality, and his skills in burning carp were further improved, and his self-confidence was even fuller.

Because he pays more attention to unity and is more humble, he rushes to do any dirty, hard, and tiring work in the room, which makes the veterans embarrassed.

In this way, through his own efforts and sincerity, he slowly won everyone's respect, and the veterans of the cooking class have become one, playing cards, playing chess, singing and singing when they are idle.

But there is an end to the good days, as soon as the five-day New Year passed, the instructor waved his hand again, and Chen Qiang immediately returned to the third platoon and eighth squad of the third company of recruits, and started the training life of recruits in the army again.

Many years later, Chen Qiang will never forget, he and the majority of recruits have spent a Spring Festival that will never be forgotten for a lifetime.
