Chapter 319: Midnight Supper
The meal that Meng Chuan planned to cook for them this time was very simple, because the two of them had already eaten, so there was no need to cook a main meal, so it was better to make a soup for them himself and serve it as a supper. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Meng Chuan and the three came to the cafeteria, and Platoon Leader Hu immediately came over, "Three classmates, you are coming to the cafeteria again, are you here to study?" ”
Meng Chuan stepped forward and said, "Platoon Leader Hu, because we are a little underfed, so we want to come and add a meal, okay." ”
If it was replaced by a small soldier, Platoon Commander Hu would definitely refuse, and now the back kitchen has begun to tidy up the work, how can there be any time to make supper for you, but Meng Chuan is different, not to mention that Guo Zhi is the nephew of the battalion commander, in terms of military rank, the three people in front of him are real lieutenants, or graduate students of military academies, this can not be wronged.
Platoon Leader Hu smiled: "Add a meal, it's definitely no problem, whatever you want to eat, I'll do it." ”
Meng Chuan waved his hand, "Don't bother Platoon Chief, I'll just go in and make some soup, you're busy." ”
Platoon Commander Hu didn't believe that this kind of high-achieving student could cook, if it wasn't delicious, it would have to be thrown away, what a waste it was, so he said: "It's okay, there is still some effort to cook." ”
Meng Chuan really didn't want to trouble Platoon Commander Hu, after all, today's day's cooking work has to be finished, and he has to go back to the meeting in the evening.
Meng Chuan said with a smile: "Platoon Leader Hu, I know that you must be very busy now, and I have also cooked before, so don't worry about being busy, I will make a bowl of soup and ensure that it is finished, and it will definitely not be wasted." ”
Since Meng Chuan has said everything about this, Platoon Commander Hu is not particular, and those who should be humble are also humble, and it is boring to push around, and Meng Chuan also said just now that he has cooked by himself, and he just let himself see the ability of this high-achieving student of the military academy.
The position of the platoon leader of the cooking platoon is different from that of the combat troops, they must not have gone to the military school, because there is no such profession as a cook in the military school, so the general cooking platoon leader is promoted by the non-commissioned officer, or the non-commissioned officer is still the platoon leader.
It is common for senior non-commissioned officers to hold platoon commander positions in the unit, and it is not that platoon commanders are necessarily all second lieutenants.
Meng Chuan came to the back kitchen and took a carrot, a small piece of tofu, a lotus root, a corn, so many ingredients are enough, and Meng Chuan doesn't plan to put meat, if you eat meat at night, it is not good for the stomach, and they have eaten before, and it is not good to put too many ingredients, just these four things, the clear soup cooked is very good.
If the oil is used, Meng Chuan will not let it go, they can't eat the food because of the genetically modified oil, if they see the oil, their appetite may be bad again.
In fact, this is mostly because of psychological factors, because you instinctively feel that there is something wrong with this thing, but in fact you don't know what the problem is, so you will avoid it, and slowly produce a kind of resistance to the heart, whether others eat it or not, I don't care, anyway, I don't eat it myself.
After Platoon Leader Hu finished arranging the work, he looked curiously about what Meng Chuan was going to do, but this time Meng Chuan didn't have anything to do, so he directly put all the four cut ingredients into the pot, and didn't even put the oil, so he covered the lid.
Platoon Commander Hu saw that Meng Chuan was at this level, and smiled secretly, "It seems that those who are engaged in research are engaged in research, and it is really not good to cook, but the current student soldiers pay attention to face, and Platoon Commander Hu is embarrassed to go over to help, so let them eat the food they made by themselves once, and let them know themselves better." ”
Then I didn't pay much attention to Meng Chuan, and continued to be busy.
Meng Chuan's cooking may be so simple, definitely not, because when making soup, the important heat, what kind of heat to use, can better reflect the deliciousness of the food, which is crucial.
Meng Chuan stood there quietly, smelling the smell of the ingredients to adjust the heat, there was no problem at first, the high heat boiled, and after a while, Meng Chuan felt different, the fragrance of the corn did not come out, adjusted to medium heat and slowly cooked, until Meng Chuan asked about the fragrance of corn, and then turned on the high heat.
A soldier next to him saw Meng Chuan cooking soup over a high fire, isn't this scientific, isn't it all about medium or low heat for making soup, can a big fire be boiled, so he kindly reminded him, "Comrade Lieutenant, we use medium heat to make soup, your fire is a little big." ”
Meng Chuan smiled at the soldier: "It's okay, I'll watch it." ”
"Okay, then pay attention." The soldier saw that Meng Chuan did not accept the suggestion, so he continued to work.
Because Meng Chuan was boiled over a large fire, it was completed in less than half an hour, and at this time, the people in the cooking row were all in the cafeteria, and Meng Chuan went out with a large casserole soup.
Many people in the cooking row saw Meng Chuan cooking soup over high heat, and he didn't put any seasonings, so he put salt, will this pot be delicious, so all his thoughts were focused on Meng Chuan for a while.
Platoon Leader Hu also paid attention to the soup made by Meng Chuan, not because he wanted to see Meng Chuan make a fool of himself, but because he was curious about how the others drank the soup that was cooked.
Yue Xiuxiu and Guo Zhi saw Meng Chuan coming out with the soup, and immediately greeted him, "Meng Chuan, is the meal ready?" ”
"Well, I've made you a soup this time, and I'll eat it for supper, so you can taste it."
It was comfortable to drink some soup at night, so a few people immediately sat down, but it was embarrassing again, the cooking schedule was holding a meeting next to it, and the three of them had supper here, so Yue Xiuxiu said: "Platoon Leader Hu, do you want to come over and eat some?" ”
Platoon Commander Hu waved his hand, "I won't eat it, and the soup should be drunk while it's hot, you guys drink it quickly, I'll continue the meeting." ”
Since this was the case, the three of them immediately opened the lid of the casserole.
Platoon Leader Hu was also very curious, wanting to see what the three of them had expressions when they drank this bowl of soup, so he said, "Squad leader, you can summarize today's work." ”
As soon as Meng Chuan opened the lid of the casserole, a clear fragrance came out, Yue Xiuxiu and Guo Zhi smelled the smell, and they were immediately stunned, unable to believe it, "The taste of this soup is too good." ”
Meng Chuan scooped two bowls and handed them to the two, "Come, you're welcome, drink it quickly." ”
The fragrance soon spread to the cooking row, everyone smelled the fragrance, and looked towards Meng Chuan, a squad leader was reporting to work, smelling the fragrance and suddenly forgot what to say, and soon immersed in the fragrance of the soup.
Platoon Commander Hu is naturally no exception, but the platoon leader is the platoon leader, and he reacted after being stunned for a while, "Impossible, how can this soup be so fragrant, obviously there are no special ingredients, it shouldn't be." ”
At this time, Platoon Leader Hu saw that the whole platoon was staring at the pot of soup, and immediately coughed dryly, and the coughing sound immediately made the whole platoon come back to their senses and sit down one after another.
"Squad leader, you continue to report."
"Oooh", the squad leader immediately began to report again.
But before he could say a word, the stomach of the first squad leader growled, what was the most uncomfortable thing in history, that is, watching others eat delicious food, and he had to report on his hunger on the side.
Platoon Commander Hu glanced at the squad leader, "Go on." ”
But before the squad leader could open his mouth, one after another the soldiers' stomachs growled.
Looking at this phenomenon, Platoon Commander Hu said: "What's the matter with you, didn't you eat enough just now?" ”
The soldiers really couldn't stand the temptation of the food next to them, and the second squad leader said: "Platoon leader, otherwise let's go back to the dormitory for a meeting, let's have a meeting in this place to eat, the soldiers are very tormented." ”
Platoon Leader Hu just wanted to reprimand them, but his stomach also growled, and his face immediately turned red, "Okay, second squad leader, you arrange for two people to stay in the cafeteria, and the rest will be brought back to the dormitory by the first squad leader." ”
Seeing that everyone was gone, Platoon Leader Hu immediately came to Meng Chuan's side to see how this soup was made.
Meng Chuan had also been paying attention to the situation of the cooking platoon just now, Meng Chuan really didn't expect this pot of soup to have such a big impact, so when he saw Platoon Leader Hu coming over, he immediately said, "Platoon Leader Hu, I'm sorry to delay you." ”
Platoon Leader Hu smiled and waved his hand, "Don't delay, don't delay, classmate, I have a question I want to ask you." ”
Meng Chuan nodded and said, "Platoon Commander Hu, you say, if there is any problem, I will definitely tell you what I know." ”
Platoon Leader Hu sat down, watched Yue Xiuxiu and Guo Zhi eat so deliciously, and asked, "I'm just very curious, how did you cook this soup, obviously you didn't put any seasonings, why did it come out so fragrant." ”
"Hey, this soup, I don't have any skills, I'm thinking about supper, if you eat too much, or if it's too greasy, it's not very good for the body, so I want to cook a soup with a light taste, so it should be the reason for the heat."
Platoon Leader Hu saw Meng Chuan's soup cooked over a high fire, when will this kind of soup be made with a high fire?
It is estimated that Meng Chuan has a secret, this kind of thing, he can't ask nonsense, if others don't want to say it, it will be embarrassing, so he stood up, "That's okay, you guys eat well, I'll go and get busy first." ”
Meng Chuan saw that Platoon Leader Hu was a little anxious, and said with a smile: "Platoon Leader Hu, you sit down first, and I'll talk to you about it, this is indeed a matter of heat." ”
Platoon Leader Hu saw that Meng Chuan was going to talk about the key points, so he immediately sat down, "Classmate, then tell me, I know that making soup has something to do with the heat, but I see that you have been cooking it over a high heat, it shouldn't be all because of the heat, you should have put some other ingredients as well, right?" ”
Meng Chuan scooped a bowl of soup for Platoon Leader Hu first, "You drink a bowl first, it proves that I really didn't put other ingredients, you are also a veteran, and you have been cooking for a long time, what is in the soup will definitely be able to be drunk, I will talk after drinking." ”
Platoon Leader Hu immediately picked up the bowl and ate it, what Meng Chuan said was indeed right, whether there was any seasoning or not, you would know it by taking a sip.
Hu Pai Chang took a sip, he was really shocked, the fragrance of several ingredients was perfectly blended together, and the light clear soup really made the mouth fragrant.
"Good soup, this kind of soup that brings the fragrance of the raw materials to the extreme, is definitely the best I have ever drunk in my life, classmate, your cooking skills are really amazing, I really take it."
Meng Chuan smiled, "Platoon Leader Hu, now you believe it's the reason for the heat." ”
Platoon Commander Hu nodded hurriedly, "I believe it, I really believe it." ”
