"Come on, no matter the wind or rain, I haven't fallen once in the morning, but in the water, this duck is really difficult to catch, it's better not to row just now, it's easier to catch it by diving directly into the water."

Meng Chuan picked up the fat duck, "Okay, the duck has also been caught, I'll go to the kitchen first, do you still want to stay in the farm?" ”

Duan You nodded, "I still have to stay here to deal with some things, the farm was originally established by me at the suggestion, and now the staff of the farm are so tired, I have to solve it, you go back to cook first, I'll wait for you." ”

The workload of the soldiers in the farm is indeed higher than that of other ordinary soldiers, this problem is quite serious, since Duan You has something to do, then Meng Chuan naturally does not bother Duan You, and goes to cook first.

When he returned to the regiment headquarters, he took a shower and changed his clothes first, and Meng Chuan dared to go to the cooking class, otherwise the smell on his body, it is estimated that the people in the cooking class would not let him enter the back kitchen.

The cooking class has now begun to work for lunch, so when they saw Meng Chuan coming, everyone didn't move much, only the cooking squad leader put down the wok in his hand and greeted Meng Chuan, "Chief, are you here to cook in the cooking class?" ”

Meng Chuan shook the duck in his hand, "Make a duck soup for your head and make it up for him." ”

As soon as he heard that Meng Chuan was making soup for Duan You, the cooking squad leader didn't dare to slack off at all, in his eyes, the matter of the head of the regiment was a big deal, "Comrade Chief, let me give you a suggestion, stew old duck soup, you must stew it with sour radish, the soup stewed in this way tastes very good, and the duck meat is also very good." ”

The cooking squad leader thought of it with Meng Chuan, "I think so too, your cooking class should have sour radish, prepare two for me." ”

There must be sour radish, not because of the canteen of the institution, you can not prepare small pickles, if you don't eat small pickles in the army, then how monotonous your military career is.

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

The cooking squad leader was just about to turn around and go to the warehouse, but he was stopped by Meng Chuan again, "Squad leader, if you bring pickled pepper and pickled ginger together, these two seasonings are put on the duck, it is not too delicious." ”

The cooking squad leader is an old cook, so he knows very well how delicious the food seasoned with pickled pepper and pickled ginger tastes, "Don't worry, the food cooked for the head of the regiment is not there, I will borrow it from other canteens, and I have to borrow it from you." ”

Looking at the sound and shadow of the cooking class, Meng Chuan was a little envious of Duan You, this old Duan, his popularity is really good.

Meng Chuan could see that the cooking squad leader was not so good to Duan You because Duan You was the head of the regiment, there must be other reasons.

This can be seen to be very simple, because the cooking squad leader no longer needs to talk to Duan You, he himself is a third-level sergeant major, in this mountain regiment, he is almost the oldest person, and his military rank is already at the end of his career, as for the rank of second-class sergeant, this is not something that anyone can be promoted if they want to, even if it is recommended by Duan You, the regiment commander, it is useless.

Technical soldiers rely on technology, and the sergeant major of the cooking class itself belongs to the most difficult group to promote, although it is indeed easy to distinguish the level of cooking, but in the army, there is no need for officers who are particularly good at small pot dishes.

To put it mildly, it's not a good deal. If you reach the second sergeant major, you can retire from the army, and the state will pay you a pension for a lifetime, but if you retire from the army as a third-class sergeant major, it will be demobilized.

Although you can get a lot of demobilization expenses for demobilization, it is a one-time payment after all, and the subsequent country does not have to spend on it.

And retirement is a lifelong thing, which includes not only permanent free housing, but also quite good free medical care, and most importantly, an enviable amount of retirement salary every month, which adds up to a considerable amount.

However, some soldiers also like demobilization, and do not like to work until retirement, the reason is very simple, the demobilization fee is so much money, enough for you to realize a lot of dreams, and retirement can only eat dead wages every month, although in the long run, retirement is more stable, but for those who have dreams, it is better to demobilize and demobilize, with such a large amount of money, you can do anything.

But the main reason is that there is too much competition for one turnip and one pit, and there are so many second-class sergeant majors, if you want to go up, you have to wait for the people in front of you to retire.

Besides, what about the fierce competition among your sergeant majors, and what is your third-class sergeant major compared to the demobilized regiment commanders? In terms of qualifications, the regiment commander is higher than you, and in terms of military rank, not to mention, one is the head of the eight classics, you can only be regarded as a veteran, and there is no comparison at all.

Since the cooking squad leader didn't ask for Duan You's matter, he naturally wouldn't be so stammering with Duan You, but judging from the current performance of the cooking squad leader, he is very concerned about Duan You's affairs, and if he thinks about it carefully, it should be a kind of concern.

Although Meng Chuan didn't know why the cooking squad leader cared so much about Duan You, no matter what, it was always good to be cared for by more people.

Before the cooking squad leader brought the ingredients, Meng Chuan would deal with the duck first.

Anyone who has dealt with poultry should know that the feathers on the duck are the most difficult to deal with, because it can't be plucked clean at all after being scalded with hot water, so don't be too surprised if you eat duck legs and duck wings and see that there are still hairs on them, this is a normal phenomenon.

Of course, although compared to chickens, duck feathers are more difficult to pluck clean, but the hard work pays off, find a sharp-nosed pliers, one by one, people with fast skills, one or twenty minutes can be pulled almost, Meng Chuan used to go to school, was plucked duck feathers, at that time the technique was not skilled, almost an hour to pull out a clean.

If you are not patient, then Meng Chuan can only recommend burning it with fire, at this time, use fire to burn it, most of the hair can be burned clean, and there will be nothing wrong with eating.

Meng Chuan's side has a lot of time anyway, so there is no need to burn it, so let's use small pliers to pull it out.

First scald the duck with hot water, it is best to soak it for a minute, so that the duck feathers can be cleaned more cleanly, and then throw the hair removal machine to take off the hair, at this time it is a duck that is smooth, but this is just a superficial look of the slippery, in fact, if you look closely, the duck feathers are really a lot.

Fortunately, Meng Chuan's hand speed is also fast, his hands are up and down, and he doesn't use much time to pull it up, when the cooking squad leader came back with a sour radish, he found that almost all the soldiers in the cooking class were watching Meng Chuan, he was stunned, and then shouted: "You don't work anymore, lunch is delayed, which of you is responsible, go back to work." ”

When the soldiers saw that the squad leader was angry, they immediately ran back to work, but when the cooking squad leader saw Meng Chuan's hand speed of plucking duck feathers, he was directly stunned, and it took a long time to recover, "My good man, chief, your hand speed is really amazing, this is too fast." ”
