Chapter 484: It's not easy to be the cooking squad leader (Eighth Update!) )
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Wang Ping came over for the first time.
According to the regulations of the Eighth Route Army, without the positions of regiment commander and director of the arsenal, Wang Ping was an ordinary soldier and was not qualified to wear a pistol.
However, considering that the military region was too far away from the headquarters, for safety, Commander Nie made an exception and gave Wang Ping a pistol.
The guards at the headquarters thought that Wang Ping was the head of a unit, and they saluted Wang Ping one after another.
After waiting at the headquarters for two days, Wang Ping finally received an order to report to the headquarters.
"Wang Ping, are you very majestic in the past two days? Small pistols with! Walk around the headquarters every day! As soon as the deputy commander-in-chief saw Wang Ping, he was dissatisfied and scolded.
The strictness of the deputy commander-in-chief was notoriously strict, and he quickly explained: "Report to the chief, the pistol was given to me by Commander Nie before I left!" ”
"Okay, the boss didn't blame you!" The deputy chief of staff hurried out to clear the siege.
"It's nothing with a pistol, not to mention that this pistol was given to you by Commander Nie. It's just that you take it every day, it's too ostentatious, and it's best to put it away. Don't forget, you are no longer the director of the arsenal, but an ordinary soldier of the Eighth Route Army! ”
"Yes! Chief, I see! I'll put my pistol away when I get back! Wang Ping immediately understood.
A smile finally appeared on the boss's serious face, but it only lasted for a few seconds before his face returned to seriousness.
"It's good that you understand, if I'm not mistaken, it's been two days since you came to the headquarters, you can't be so idle every day, we in the Eighth Route Army don't raise idlers. I have already discussed with the Deputy Chief of Staff about where you are going, and now let the Deputy Chief of Staff announce your appointment! ”
Wang Ping immediately stared at the deputy chief of staff with a pair of expectant eyes.
"Wang Ping, don't expect too much. The more you expect from this position, the greater the disappointment! The deputy chief of staff replied with a mysterious expression.
Then he began to give orders: "The leader of the cooking squad at the headquarters is old, and the boss and I have decided to let him retire." You must know that in the headquarters, the cooking soldiers may also fight, and they must be prepared for long journeys at any time, and when they are old, their bodies will definitely not be able to hold on! ”
"So my boss and I decided to let you be the squad leader in the cooking class, sharpen your sharpness, when the edge is erased and you learn to obey the rules, then you will naturally be transferred back to the main force!"
"Go to the cooking class and be the class leader!" Wang Ping was directly stunned by this result.
All the possible consequences he faced, even when the new corps started from a recruit, Wang Ping thought of it, but he didn't think of going to the cooking class, holding a big spoon, and cooking for the head of the headquarters!
"What? Unwillingly! The deputy commander-in-chief glared at Wang Ping and asked.
"If you don't want to, it's okay to go to the cooking class to be an ordinary soldier, there are also many veterans in the cooking class, and anyone can be promoted to be the squad leader."
"Yes, I do! Thank you, two leaders, for giving me this opportunity! Wang Ping hurriedly replied.
Now what he wanted to do most was to stay away from the deputy commander-in-chief, because he found that the deputy commander-in-chief was in a bad mood, and his casual words could cause him to be angry.
"Then go to work now, and put away your pistol for me!"
The headquarters cooking class, whose name sounds very loud, is actually a chef who cooks for the head of the headquarters and dozens of staff officers. Because it is related to the safety of the head of the headquarters, every soldier in the cooking squad is an old Red Army, an old revolutionary, who cannot go to the battlefield for various reasons!
When Wang Ping arrived at the cooking class, everyone was preparing lunch for the chief.
Two cauldrons, one pot is boiling cornmeal, the other pot is steaming wowotou steamed buns, steaming, and two soldiers are taking out the pickled radish from the sauce jar and preparing to cut it into shreds, so that the head of the headquarters can eat it with corn paste and wowotou!
"Lao Yang, the head of the headquarters eats this at noon!"
Lao Yang is an old revolutionary who participated in the Red Army in the same year as himself, if he hadn't been injured in one arm and couldn't fight, he would have lived at least as a battalion commander until now.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Ping entered the cooking class, he became familiar with Lao Yang, and looked at the lunch they prepared for the boss, and couldn't help asking.
Lao Yang had already heard about this newly appointed cooking squad leader, and he made a mistake to get here. In Lao Yang's opinion, it won't be long before Wang Ping will leave the cooking class and return to the army.
Coupled with Wang Ping's identity as an old Red Army, Lao Yang liked him very much, so he didn't hide it.
"Squad Leader Wang, don't look at us as the headquarters here, in fact, we are poorer than the troops below!"
"You don't know the boss's temper, he doesn't ask the troops below for things, and he doesn't allow the troops below to send things up. The white noodles we eat now are still the ones that were seized by the troops after the end of the last anti-encirclement campaign and distributed to the headquarters in accordance with regulations. Otherwise, the headquarters can only eat white noodles once in three days, and they usually eat boiled sweet potatoes and boiled potatoes! ”
Wang Ping's brows immediately wrinkled into a big Sichuan character, and he asked with a worried face: "Boss, they must stay up late every day, and they often use their brains, how can the nutrition provided by these things be enough?" No wonder I saw that the boss's face was very unsightly just now, it must be malnutrition. ”
"We know that too, but there's no way?" Lao Yang replied helplessly.
"Usually, as long as the allowance is paid, we will find a way to make something good for them. However, every time he asked to share the food with dozens of people at the headquarters. A chicken is eaten by dozens of people, and it would be good if he could eat one bite! ”
"It's a little better now, the logistics office of the headquarters will send a batch of eggs every other day, at least to ensure that the head of the headquarters can eat one egg every two days. Sometimes, when some live chickens come down, I stew the soup and make it as thick as possible, so that the chiefs can make up for it! ”
"No! This will definitely not work! Wang Ping shook his head and said.
"Our cooking class is responsible for the food of the head of the headquarters, if the head of the head has health problems because the food is too poor, then we will be sorry for the revolution!"
"We must find a way to supplement more nutrition to the leaders, nutrition will keep up with the health will be better, and the health will be better to command the troops to fight!"
"We've thought of a way too! Hunting in the woods and fishing in the nearby rivers...... We've thought of all the ways we can think of. But our cooking class is all half-crippled veterans, and they have no skills, and even if they have little to gain! ”
Wang Ping's brows furrowed even deeper, and he suddenly realized that being a cooking squad leader at the headquarters was not as simple as he imagined.
Without funds, frequent transfers, and without support, it is necessary to ensure that dozens of people in the headquarters do not go hungry, and ordinary people really can't do it.
However, Wang Ping is a person who does not admit defeat, and this is true in the face of the enemy, and the same is true in the face of the pressure of the cooking class.
After taking a deep breath, he stared at Lao Yang and said: "This situation must be changed, no matter how the cooking class was before, now that I am the squad leader, I must not only ensure that dozens of people in the headquarters are not hungry, but also ensure the nutrition of the chief!" ”
