Chapter 745 Celebration Banquet Preparation
After gathering and returning to the camp, Meng Chuan told the other three about the small restaurant that sold pilaf, and the three of Shi Deputy Team Leader were very happy after hearing it, after all, if they came to this place once and didn't eat back the local food, it would be a real loss.
Early the next morning, the troops assembled, stepped into the military column, and after two long days and two nights, they finally returned to the military region.
It's already Monday when I returned here, but the head of the military region has granted everyone a day off to have a good rest and recuperation, and he also added that beer can be drunk at the celebration banquet at noon today.
The army is not allowed to drink alcohol, this is the regulation, but this does not mean that the small shops of the army do not sell alcohol, on the contrary, the shops near the army, beer is the hottest, as for why, you can imagine for yourself.
Meng Chuan's most memorable way of drinking is that when he first got off the company, the veterans in the class used the rhubarb basin we used to wash our faces to serve beer, and then drank it in a big gulp, imagine using a rhubarb basin two or three times larger than the head to hold the beer, and then the whole class got together, you took a sip and I drank it fiercely, the taste was really refreshing.
But after all, drinking is a violation of discipline, and everyone can only drink secretly, but during the break, most of the pickets will not care, of course, if you are unlucky and are caught, then writing an inspection is unavoidable.
This time, the chief was able to release the regulations and let everyone drink beer, which was indeed a pleasure for the soldiers, but the chief also had a limit of no more than three bottles of wine per person.
In fact, the matter of drinking beer, the chief has the right to decide, if you have seen the soldier assault, you will know that after the seventh company finished the exercise, the company commander took everyone to drink together, but this scene is a bit impractical, because it was not in the garrison at that time, it is impossible to carry a large amount of beer in the logistics supply, so it is not realistic to hold a celebration banquet in the field to drink beer.
However, this does show that as long as the chief allows and arranges for combat readiness, soldiers are indeed allowed to drink, which does not conflict with the regulations.
Speaking of cooking, the deputy chief of staff specifically found Meng Chuan, "Xiao Meng, I know your cooking skills are good, this time you go to the kitchen to guide, and strive to cook more delicacies, so that everyone can have a happy celebration banquet." ”
Cooking is Meng Chuan's forte, this is nothing to say, Meng Chuan agreed, "Yes, chief." ”
In Meng Chuan's subconscious, the celebration banquet is to eat meat and drink wine, there can be no meat without wine, and there can be no wine without meat.
Then this celebration banquet is really simple, just put some large pieces of meat on it, the idea has been decided, Meng Chuan and his soldiers immediately went to the logistics warehouse to find some ingredients.
The logistics warehouse of the military region, it is really well stocked, Meng Chuan looked at the whole one hanging on the iron hook, and immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Go and get some sheep down, this time I will get some roasted whole sheep for everyone." ”
Meng Chuan is responsible for roasting whole sheep, as for other big pot stews, it depends on the people in the cooking class, a sheep with the internal organs and sheepskin removed, can probably produce twenty kilograms of meat, that is, forty catties.
According to a soldier's more than a pound of meat, a sheep is enough for one platoon to eat, and the synthetic battalion has twenty platoons, that is, more than 20 sheep must be roasted at one time, which is not a simple matter.
It seems that it is still a bit difficult to roast the whole sheep, but since it is a celebration banquet, if there is no big dish, it is not suitable, Meng Chuan thought for a while, it still has to be roasted, and the soldiers have to eat comfortably.
Theoretically speaking, the logistics warehouse of the military region should be the warehouse with the most materials, after all, a military region, hundreds of thousands of soldiers' logistics materials are transferred from here, of course, the cooking utensils are also the most, Meng Chuan looked for a while, and by chance, he actually saw some big forks on the grill, it seems that these should be barbecued.
The director of the logistics warehouse management office saw Meng Chuan aiming at these big forks, and said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, these grill big forks were originally welded by me, and the purpose is also to cope with such a large-scale celebration banquet, there are just more than 20 here, you take them together." In addition, we have charcoal for roasting lamb here, and you can drag a few more bags over. ”
When Meng Chuan heard this, he was quite happy, with the help of these big grills, it would really be much easier to roast the whole sheep.
In fact, the barbecue does not necessarily mean that the whole sheep has to be roasted, but I have to say that the roasted whole sheep is really shocking, at least the soldiers will be a little excited when they see the whole roasted whole sheep.
Meng Chuan took the soldiers to move the grill to the open space outside, and this time the celebration of the synthetic battalion was not in the military region, but in a mountain area a few kilometers away from the military region, in order to let the soldiers drink and eat meat.
As soon as Meng Chuan commanded the soldiers to move the grill down, Duan You ran over, "Old Pick, I heard that this time the chief personally ordered your general and asked you to direct the people in the cooking class to cook?" ”
Meng Chuan didn't expect such a small news to reach Duan You's ears, and he was a little surprised, but it seemed right to think about it, after all, there was a platoon of soldiers who followed him to the logistics warehouse to move supplies, and it was normal to hide it from Duan You.
"Old Duan, what's the matter, cooking is my forte, the chief asked me to command your cooking class to cook, and I wronged you, didn't I?"
Duan You smiled, "How can this be, but I want to remind you that every time a superior leader arranges a task, it is fully considered. Your cooking skills are good, and the chief arranges for you to direct the cooking class to cook, which is very reasonable, and there is no problem. But you have to think about it carefully, you are the hero of this anti-terrorist exercise, doesn't the chief want you to rest? Instead, as soon as you get off the bus, I will hand over the task of the celebration banquet to you, so that you can continue to work? ”
Meng Chuan didn't understand what Duan You meant, "Old Duan, if you have something to say, just say it, don't make these twists and turns, I still have more than 20 roasted whole sheep to prepare, and the time is very tight." ”
Duan You hurriedly whispered: "Lao Li, this is a celebration banquet, there will definitely be a lot of big leaders coming over at that time, the chief of staff, the deputy chief of staff, not to mention, they must come, I am wondering, is it possible for the commander and political commissar to come, if the commander and political commissar come, after eating the food you cooked, will they be very happy." ”
"Of course, I'm not saying that we must rely on your cooking skills to tie up the leader's leadership, but excellent cooking skills will make it easier for the chief to notice you. After all, three meals a day is a must for everyone, and that delicious food is definitely not something that everyone can resist. Even if you can make the chief pay attention to you in the simplest way, even if you just say a word and glance at you twice, is it worth your hard work for ten years, so you have to understand why the deputy chief of staff gave you the task of cooking. ”
