After finishing the meal with the leaders of the guard division, He Zhengdao did not stay in the guard division for long. www.biquge.info He Zhengdao also expressed his gratitude to the guard soldiers who returned to Yan'an with him, and these soldiers were naturally also grateful.

With the promotion of his position, He Zhengdao gradually felt that the momentum on his body was increasing. Even if he wants to mingle with ordinary fighters, it will still be a lot of pressure for those ordinary fighters to sit and communicate with him.

Now that the dinner has ended, He Zhengdao, who was going to start busy with the evening reception banquet in the afternoon, only brought a few people from the saber special combat team over. As for the fighters of the other guard battalions, they naturally stayed in the guard division to recuperate.

When the time is right, He Zhengdao will also send these people to Yulin one step ahead of schedule to be responsible for preparing for the establishment of the Northeast Combat Force. It's just that who he wants to work with in the future, He Zhengdao is actually quite curious.

From the conversation with *** and Mr. Zhu in the morning, He Zhengdao could feel that both of them agreed with his idea. He Zhengdao even hoped that in the future, the Northeast Bureau could be formed, and he would be responsible for leading the Northeast operations and construction work.

It is conceivable that the person who can work with him must have a certain prestige in both the party and the army. As for who the central government and the headquarters will consider in the end, this is not something that He Zhengdao can consider.

At least he hoped that the next person to work with him would be someone who could talk. If a person who is usually related to him comes over to set up a team, He Zhengdao is also worried that it will affect the preparations for the rapid formation of the troops.

Although he led the New 67th Army southward, he still retained two main divisions in Yulin and Suiyuan. But He Zhengdao understood that it was somewhat insufficient to form a force to march into the northeast with only two main divisions.

In the future, the size of the Northeast Column will reach at least 100,000 people. Without so many troops, it would undoubtedly be more difficult to compete with the Kwantung Army. In addition, the armored brigade currently training in Suiyuan will also be incorporated into the Northeast Column.

He Zhengdao, who returned to his residence, asked about Chen Siya's whereabouts. I learned that Chen Siya happened to be at home, and she took leave today and didn't go to work. He Zhengdao also ran to Chen's house and brought Chen Siya back to his new home.

Looking at Chen Siya, who was still walking neatly, He Zhengdao was also concerned when he was alone: "How is it?" Does it still hurt? ”

'You say! When I came home today, my mom was going to die of laughter. However, after eating breakfast and moving around, it is no big deal. Okay, you're in charge of the family, I'll invite those big sisters over! ’

'Okay, I'll let the guards accompany you, and I'll take care of this mess at home.' In the evening, a whole sheep feast should be held, and the slaughtered mutton should be marinated in advance. In addition, stoves, charcoal, tables, chairs and benches should also be prepared. ’

There are really a lot of people who come to the party tonight, and if He Zhengdao and Chen Siya only prepare, they will still be a little too busy. This meal is not only a thank you banquet, but also a banquet for moving to a new house.

In the future, when He Zhengdao returns to Yan'an, he will no longer have to go to the army to recruit. As the senior commander of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao officially has a home and residence in Yan'an, and he also has a fixed foothold in Yan'an.

As the main dish of tonight's reception, the roasted whole sheep is naturally pickled by He Zhengdao himself. Considering that there should be a lot of people coming tonight, He Zhengdao specially asked the guards to buy two sheep as the main dish of the barbecue.

As for other haggis and sheep's heads, He Zhengdao naturally won't waste them, and after cleaning them up, they will directly stew them in a large pot to make soup. In the evening, you can also cook some pasta such as gnocchi with lamb soup to fill your stomach.

Xu Hao and others, who were brought home by He Zhengdao, naturally also helped. There are not enough tables, chairs and benches at home, and they also need to go to the military recruitment canteen to borrow them. For a while, the whole yard also seemed very lively.

On the other hand, Chen Siya, who was accompanied by the guards, went to the homes of the chiefs who arranged the marriage for her, like a little daughter-in-law who had just passed the door, to send out invitations. When those enthusiastic eldest sisters learned of such an invitation, they naturally would not refuse.

After being invited all the way, Chen Siya suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of people she wanted to thank. In this way, the courtyard in front of the cave tonight is estimated to be as lively as a wedding banquet.

Thinking about the day when the two get married in the future, it is estimated that there will be more guests. Chen Siya also really realized that becoming He Zhengdao's wife was indeed a lot of pressure. In the future, she and these chiefs' wives are basically the same identity.

When Chen Siya returned home, looking at the courtyard where many tables and chairs had been placed, as well as He Zhengdao, who was boiling soup, she was also very curious: "Zhengdao, I just calculated, I am afraid that there are nearly 100 people who come to eat at home tonight!" ”

'It's okay, it's a little more lively. In such weather, eating some mutton and drinking some mutton soup can also nourish it. After all, tonight is not only a thank you banquet but also a housewarming banquet for us, and the more people there are, it seems that we are popular! ’

After smiling and replying to Chen Siya, He Zhengdao also prepared the things to eat at night. Before it got dark, the ladies of Sister He and Sister Deng first appeared in front of He Zhengdao's cave.

Seeing the arrival of these chiefs and wives, He Zhengdao also personally stepped forward to welcome them. Looking at the neatly arranged tables and chairs in the courtyard, the ladies also felt that they could be lively tonight.

Sister He said even more enthusiastically: "Righteousness, there are a lot of people coming tonight, do you want us to help?" ”

'Thank you, Sister He! Everything is almost ready, and when the chiefs come over, they will drink haggis soup to warm their stomachs. As for tonight's main course, roasted whole lamb, I've been marinating it for a few hours and it's almost ready to roast now.

It's the first time I've had a banquet like this, and I don't know how to do it. However, now that the weather has turned colder, eating more lamb is also good for your physical and mental health. In that sheep soup, I also deliberately put some medicinal herbs, and now I can drink it when I think about it.

If you don't dislike it, how about you try my craft? This soup has a few portions of medicinal herbs, and drinking more of it also has the effect of nourishing and nourishing the skin. I killed two sheep today, and I made a lot of soup! ’

Hearing this, the eldest sisters immediately said curiously: "Do you still understand this? You made all this food tonight? ”

'Yes! Before joining the revolution, my master and I traveled everywhere and did a lot of things like roasting whole sheep. As for this nourishing mutton soup, it was also taught to me by my master back then. However, whether the effect is good or not, you have to drink it to know! ’

Under He Zhengdao's warm invitation, the eldest sisters saw that He Zhengdao had prepared everything. In addition to the two roasted whole lambs that are already slowly turning on the grill, there are also quite a few bits and pieces of meat skewers.

In short, tonight is to eat barbecue, in this kind of cold weather, it seems a little lively. The most important thing is that the soup boiled in the two cauldrons really allows people who enter the courtyard to smell the fragrance coming from their noses.

Seeing some red dates, wolfberries and other things tumbling in the pot, the eldest sisters also seemed to be a little moved. And He Zhengdao was not idle, and hurriedly asked the guards to find dishes and chopsticks, and personally sent a bowl of hot soup to each eldest sister.

Looking at the steaming mutton soup, the chiefs and ladies who came in advance still tasted it gently. Not long after, Zhou Enlai's wife, Sister Deng, said: "Well, Xiao He, why doesn't your soup smell fishy?" ”

Sister Deng, who usually makes mutton soup at home, is really surprised that the soup in the bowl has no fishy smell. In the past, Sister Deng didn't like this soup very much, but today she found that this soup has a different taste.

He Zhengdao, who listened to the inquiry, said with a smile: "Some herbs and ingredients are added to the soup, and if you cook it with mutton, it can also play a role in removing the smell and removing the fat." If you like it, I'll give you some tips on how to make soup.

In winter, if you have time, you can also buy some mutton at home to experiment. Whether it's boiling soup or cooking, adding those ingredients can effectively remove the fishy smell of mutton! ”

As He Zhengdao's craftsmanship was recognized by all the ladies, Mr. Zhu's wife, Sister Kang, also smiled and said, "Xiaoya, you girl will have a good fortune in the future." These days, there are not many men who can fight and cook! ”

Facing the praise of Sister Kang and others, Chen Siya also felt a little embarrassed. Even if she knows some cooking, at least she won't be able to do a reception like tonight.

A bowl of stomach-warming mutton soup went down, and He Zhengdao also asked the guards to take out the prepared noodles for later use. If you just drink soup and don't eat noodles, you still won't be able to fill your stomach. And the lady who learned of this situation also felt that He Zhengdao was very thoughtful.

Not long after, with *** and others coming over, they looked at the ladies who had already sat down at the table and still had an empty bowl in front of them. also smiled and said: "You guys came really fast, we won't wait for us to eat!" ”

'O Chairman! Tonight is a blessing, Xiao He's soup making skills are indeed very good! ’

Sister Deng took the initiative to take over and replied with a smile. In fact, for He Zhengdao, a young senior commander, the chief wife of the station, they actually like it very much.

is both sensible and human, and usually even if he is in Yulin, he will not forget to send them some New Year's goods. Even in the eyes of others, this is suspected of bribing leaders. But these ladies all feel that He Zhengdao still understands the world very well.

Mr. Zhu, who also walked into the yard, looked at the roasted whole sheep rolling on the charcoal fire, and also swallowed a little saliva and said, "You kid can!" Tonight, I actually got this thing out. I haven't eaten this thing in a few days! ”

As a soldier, Mr. Zhu naturally tasted the taste of roasted whole sheep. But as the commander-in-chief, few people entertained him with this kind of thing. Even when he went to inspect the troops, Mr. Zhu asked the troops to be simple in all their hospitality.

For such a sumptuous reception, Mr. Zhu would still refuse. But tonight the situation is different, to be able to sit in the yard and drink some wine and eat roast mutton, it is indeed a rare pastime and enjoyment! (To be continued.) )
