Chapter 486: Self-Reliance (Second Update!) )
Lao Yang knew that the stubborn temper of the deputy commander-in-chief had come up again, and if he didn't give him a reasonable explanation, he wouldn't have eaten a bite of this big pot of fish soup even if it was placed in front of him.
Then he immediately explained: "Don't worry, chief, everyone in the headquarters has fish to eat tonight, and others may get more fish than you, chief, you can eat at ease, our cooking class will definitely not violate discipline to open a small stove for you!" ”
The deputy commander-in-chief still didn't move his chopsticks, frowned and asked: "What's going on, the cost of our extra meal is just that, if you ensure that everyone in the headquarters has fish, you won't be able to do it without thirty or forty catties of fish, where did you get so much money to buy fish in your cooking class, it won't be a violation of discipline!" ”
"No, chief, Lao Yang, I don't feel at ease in doing things, I promise that I haven't done anything that violates discipline!"
"Didn't the president of our cooking class just take office today! These fish were all caught by him in the afternoon, and the fish soup was also cooked by him himself, so you can eat them with confidence, chief! ”
"Wang Ping, he will still do this!" The deputy commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a look of disbelief.
Then he beckoned to the deputy chief of staff and several chiefs in front of him and said, "Since Wang Ping did it, then we must try it." Chief of Staff, let everyone eat, this fish soup looks delicious. I didn't expect this Wang Ping to do this, it seems that it is the right thing to let him go to the cooking class! ”
There is no doubt that the fish soup made by Wang Ping in the evening was well received by everyone at the headquarters.
The deputy commander-in-chief alone drank two large bowls of fish soup and ate most of the crucian carp.
The barracks of the cooking squad was in a small courtyard next to the headquarters, and after packing up the things, Wang Ping gathered everyone together.
"Lao Yang, there are still a lot of big fish in the pool, and we can only catch them with fishing nets, so we must find a way to get a fishing net back!" Lao Yang is the oldest soldier in the cooking class, and he has followed the chief for the longest time, so there must be a way. This is also the reason why Wang Ping looked for Lao Yang as soon as he entered the cooking class.
"There are fishing nets in the village, but we tried and the nets didn't catch any fish at all!" Lao Yang shook his head and replied.
"That's because the nets don't work, just get the nets back, and we'll stay up late tonight and change them. By the way, is there still funding for the cooking class? Just buy the nets! Wang Ping made a quick decision, with a very confident face.
Lao Yang didn't move immediately, but replied with an embarrassed face: "Squad leader, there are funds, but they are very little!" If we buy fishing nets, we will have no money, not even oil and salt! ”
The poor Wang Ping at the headquarters saw it, but he still insisted.
"Lao Yang, if you can trust me, go and buy the fishing nets back now, as for the funds, I'll figure it out!"
Lao Yang, who had been staring at Wang Ping for a long time, finally stood up: "Okay, squad leader, I believe you, let's go and buy the fishing nets back!" ”
As soon as Lao Yang left, Wang Ping asked the others in the cooking class to prepare some tools for him to transform fishing nets.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the cooking class.
The only funds were replaced by squad leader Wang Ping with a fishing net that seemed to everyone to have no effect.
If the nets don't surprise everyone, then in two days, there will be no salt to eat at the headquarters. In everyone's opinion, this is a very risky decision.
Therefore, none of the six people in the cooking class, including Wang Ping, slept, and all stared at Wang Ping's transformation of the fishing nets, and by the way.
"It's done! It's still three hours until dawn, and as soon as it's dawn, we'll go and experiment with the effect! Looking at the hand-thrown net that had been transformed in his hand, Wang Ping shouted with anticipation and excitement.
As for Lao Yang and the remaining four soldiers in the cooking class, their faces were not only curious, but they did not understand.
In their cognition, the fishing net is just a long one, how can it be round. Also, the hole in the fishing net is so small, how can the group get stuck when they drill through......
Wang Ping didn't explain, and asked directly: "Lao Yang, how far is the nearest market from the village, are there any Japanese, usually do we go to the cooking class to buy things by ourselves or ask the headquarters to send someone there!" ”
"There is a small county town more than 20 kilometers away, in which there are Japanese and puppet troops. We go to the cooking class to buy things by ourselves, change into people's clothes, and no one will find out. And we all take a detour when we go and when we come back, and even if we have a tail, we will be thrown off! ”
"Okay, starting tomorrow, we will be self-sufficient, and turn the headquarters cooking class from the poorest to the richest in the Eighth Route Army!" Wang Ping said confidently!
Because he had been thinking about how to change the status quo of the cooking class in the headquarters, although he was busy for most of the night, Wang Ping still woke up when it was dark.
Immediately after, Lao Yang and the others also woke up.
There is no doubt that everyone is both expecting and worried about Wang Ping's bold remarks yesterday, and wants to see the results as soon as possible.
"Lao Yang, bring two buckets, I'm useful!" Except for the two people who were left to prepare breakfast for the chief, the remaining four people in the cooking squad all went out and rushed to the waterhole not far away.
The area of the waterhole is not large, but the depth of the water, although the hand-thrown net transformed by Wang Ping is not as good as the one purchased by later generations, there is no problem with it, and it can be thrown directly into the middle of the waterhole.
Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Wang Ping threw out his first net.
As the fishing nets with a diameter of more than five meters spread out on the surface of the water, and then quickly sank to the bottom, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, which was still calm just now.
Wang Ping hurriedly pulled the rope and trapped the big fish in the fishing net, and then shouted excitedly: "Prepare the bucket, there are fish, and they are big fish!" ”
The fishing net was pulled out of the water, and a large carp weighing at least five catties appeared in the fishing net. As for crucian carp and crucian carp weighing one or two catties, there are several.
Including Lao Yang, several people were stunned.
The fish they couldn't catch by all their means, and when it came to Wang Ping's hands, it was more than ten catties of fish with a single net!
It didn't take long for the two buckets to fill up!
"Lao Yang, pick out two big fish, six crucian carp weighing one or two catties, and we will go to the county seat to sell fish. Just the two of us went over, and the others went back to clean up the big fish, and the small fish were kept, and I came back in the evening to make braised fish for the head of the headquarters! Wang Ping ordered decisively.
At this time, Lao Yang was still immersed in the surprise of the huge harvest, and as soon as Wang Ping said it, he immediately reacted.
The county seat is not big, but the location is important.
In the face of the investigation of the imperial army at the gate, Wang Ping, who didn't even have a penny, of course couldn't give the entrance fee to the city, but this problem was not difficult for Wang Ping.
"Baga, you're dead, you're dead, you dare to stop the fish for the imperial army headquarters, don't die!" Wang Ping scolded in a few words in Japanese, and several imperial troops were directly frightened and trembled, as for the so-called cost of entering the city, they didn't dare to mention it.
Lao Yang, who was following Wang Ping, was stopped again, but did not speak, and followed Wang Ping closely into the city.
Fish is very common in the south and is everywhere.
But in the north it is a rarity.
Wang Ping did not accept Lao Yang's proposal to set up a stall on the side of the road, but walked directly to a restaurant in the city with Lao Yang, carrying a bucket.
Although it is now a war, the food still has to be eaten, so the business of several restaurants in the county has not been affected. However, in order to protect the hotel from the impact of the war, there are more or less shadows of Japanese or puppet soldiers behind several shops!
The hotel Wang Ping went to had a cadre of a battalion commander of the Imperial Allied Army, and with him under his cover, the business of the hotel was very good.
