Chapter 84: Eating Meat in the Army (2)
I can't see the girls bubbling in the book review area! Ah Lan has no confidence in what he wrote!)
Xiao Yuhong and Guo Xiaowei looked at He Changdi in unison, He Changdi raised his head with a stiff face, and his deep gaze made people feel innocent at this time.
Zhang Mai coughed twice with his hands against his fists in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "Captain, this matter is abrupt to me, Zixiang's meat was brought by her wife from Shengjing City." ”
The living conditions of the border army are poor, even the captains and others cannot share the meat once a month, and if they want to eat some meat and bloody sacrifices, they can only take advantage of the military camp to go hunting on horseback when they are finally on vacation. But as winter progresses, the animals have also passed the winter, and even the prey is becoming less and less, and this kind of thing is really normal in the northern military camp.
The border army did not deal with Tuhun and the barbarians, and the army did not raise cattle and sheep, and the meat was naturally pitiful.
Zhang Mai and He Changdi slept in a tent, taking care of him a lot as a junior, this elder Brother Zhang, who was older than He Changdi, has been in the army for ten years, has participated in countless battles and battles, and is Captain Guo's most powerful subordinate, with rich experience, but after many years of military career, he has many dark injuries on his body, and his body is always inferior to others.
Especially in the weather of Liangzhou in the change of seasons, just in winter, after sweating on the school field, he came back and was blown by the cold wind, coupled with Zhang Mai's old injury faintly painful, the snow was worse, and he caught a cold and had a high fever.
After the old doctor in the army came to take a look, he only pricked the needle and left a few packets of medicine decoction, and as for the diet, he could only rely on the patient himself.
When Captain Guo learned that he could only order the firehead soldiers to boil an extra pot of glutinous white millet porridge for Zhang Mai, as for the side, Captain Guo didn't have it.
He Changdi took on the burden of taking care of Zhang Mai because he had a tent with Zhang Mai, looked at Zhang Mai's face that was getting thinner and pale because of illness and recurrence of old injuries, went back at night, and quietly took out the clay pot of Lantern Shadow Beef Shredded Beef that Chu Lian sent to him, and took out some and put it on the porcelain bowl containing millet porridge in Zhang Mai.
On the top of the boiled glutinous white millet porridge, there were a few spoonfuls of shredded beef marinated in vegetable oil, which made Zhang Mai, who was leaning on the head of the bed, look straight in his eyes.
Zhang Mai was not polite to this He Saburo, he hugged the bowl and ate it, wiped his mouth after eating, pointed to the bowl, and asked in surprise: "Where did it come from?"
He Saburo, who looked like a saw-mouthed gourd, said sullenly: "My daughter-in-law sent it." ”
Zhang Mai burst out laughing, coughed and said, "Since it was sent by your daughter-in-law, you have eaten a lot before, how about you give the rest to my brother, just to recuperate for my brother." ”
This He Saburo didn't look calm and calm, but he didn't expect it to be an iron rooster, and he didn't say anything, and he only secretly loaded it for Zhang Mai a few times, and when he got better, he looked around the tent, but he didn't know where the small jar with shredded beef was received by He Changdi.
Zhang Mai could only smile and shake his head.
Today, I heard that Xiao Yuhong, a kid, wanted to eat meat, and Zhang Mai casually mentioned it.
Although Captain Guo leads the troops like siblings, but the training is strict, although the temperament is rough, but not so easy to communicate, Zhang Mai has been with this boss for many years, and knows much more about him than Xiao Yuhong and He Changdi.
At this time, Captain Guo and the two boys called him brothers, but in fact, he didn't regard them as very important in his heart, and he wanted to soften this impregnable Captain Guo, but it would be more useful to take action from some small aspects.
For example, today's little thing of eating meat.
He Changdi's ability Zhang Mai sees in his eyes, this young man has a good background, ambition, ambition and talent, and a good heart, but unfortunately he may be the first to enter the military camp, and there are always shortcomings in dealing with people, I don't know if it is because of the relationship between the living environment since childhood, this kid always likes to have a straight face, although the stiff expression is half covered by the black beard, but it always makes people look at it at first glance.
At the beginning of contact with He Changdi, Zhang Mai didn't like it very much, and he became the general manager of 100 people with a letter from King Jin, and he stayed up in this position for ten years.
But with the contact, he gradually recognized this young man, just when he was sick, He Changdi took care of him as carefully as possible with a cold face, from the young man's clumsy movements, it can be seen that he has never done such a thing to take care of people, Zhang Mai completely let go of the mustard, accepted this junior, and appeared at this time, but also had the intention to help him.
Xiao Yuhong's eyes were the brightest, and she hurriedly came to He Changdi again, looking at him with blank eyes, "Brother He, you really have meat to eat!"
He salivated, although he didn't ask for it directly, but the saliva was about to drip down.
Captain Guo didn't urge, but while he was immersed in eating the hard pot helmet in the bowl, he raised his head and glanced at He Changdi with a smile.
Zhang Mai hated that iron could not become steel and kicked the wooden stool under He Changdi's buttocks, "Stinky boy, what are you doing in a daze! Isn't it sent by your daughter-in-law, even if you are reluctant to give me food, you are still reluctant to honor the captain?"
He Changdi pursed his thin lips, stood up, and saluted respectfully towards Captain Guo, "Please wait a while." ”
After a while, He Changdi came back with a fine small jar, put it on the wooden table, lifted the lid of the jar, and a unique aroma of marinated beef wafted out.
"Captain, it's all here, you all have a taste. ”
He Changdi ordered someone to take a porcelain plate and pour the remaining small half of the lantern shadow shredded beef into it.
Guo Xiaowei first took a chopstick and put it in his mouth, and when he tasted it, a pair of bull's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Yes, my brother and sister are really good skills." Saying that, he tapped He Changdi with chopsticks, "You kid has married a good wife! You have all your brains out of the water and ran to the north where this bird doesn't, your daughter-in-law not only doesn't blame you, but also brings you food, but I heard that you came out a few days after you got married at home." ”
Xiao Yuhong didn't know about these gossip news, and while stuffing shredded beef into his mouth, he pricked up his ears to listen, with a gossip on his face, he wrapped his mouth full of shredded beef, and muttered and asked, "Brother He, what's wrong, don't you look good with your sister-in-law?"
Captain Guo snorted coldly, "It's not good-looking, what's wrong with it, it's a good girl who can run a family and have a son! Besides, he married a young lady from the British government!"
Xiao Yuhong was suddenly glared at by Zhang Mai on the other side warningly, and then she was suddenly stunned.
The wife of their lieutenant was a saltless woman, but she was respected by the lieutenant and gave birth to many children. Xiao Yuhong was not born in an ordinary family, and the gossip in Shengjing has also been told by the old lady and sisters on weekdays. Although the lintel of the British Mansion is withering day by day, the girl from the British Mansion has the reputation of being easy to give birth to, and her appearance is also top-notch. Brother He left home in a hurry, which was definitely not the reason he said.
Xiao Yuhong knew that she had stepped on the thunder with a word, and she was no longer talking too much in the future, and only buried her head in eating meat.
Zhang Mai played a round next to him, "What the school captain said is that when we return to Beijing together in the future, we will definitely go to the school captain's mansion to visit my sister-in-law." ”
Lieutenant Guo was satisfied, and pointed to He Changdi and said: "You are out now, the military order is difficult to disobey, and it is difficult to go back in a short time, but after all, there is a wife at home, and the girl who marries you at a young age will have to guard the empty boudoir in Shengjing, and do not forget to remember that you have no conscience, if you have time, you will definitely send a few more letters to the family, and if you have money, you must not forget to buy some special products for your wife and family to bring back." ”
Compared with the brother and brother when he competed on the school field on weekdays, Captain Guo at this time was a little more serious, and stretched out his hand to point at He Changdi's mistakes, more like a close big brother who taught his ignorant juniors without reservation.
Zhang Mai's smile widened when he heard this, and He Changdi was not an elm pimple, so he immediately got up and bowed deeply to Captain Guo, thanking him for his teaching.
He can also feel that today because of the light shadow of this small half jar of shredded beef, his relationship with Captain Guo has become a lot closer.
He Changdi stared at the empty jar containing the shredded beef with the lamp shadow, and his heart was a little complicated.
Just when this brother and brother were respecting, Xiao Yuhong, who was in trouble, pointed to the porcelain plate containing shredded beef on the table, and asked inarticulately: "Big brother, you don't eat it, that little brother has it all!"
As soon as the words fell, several pairs of chopsticks stretched out to the porcelain plate together, one person and one chopstick, and the pile of sharp porcelain plates soon bottomed out, when only a shallow layer was left, Guo Xiaowei's bull's eyes glared at He Changdi, "What else are you eating, it was made by your daughter-in-law, you didn't know how much you ate before, and you were embarrassed to grab it from us at this time!"
This time, He Changdi's face was much thicker, his face did not change and he took a pair of chopsticks, and said in a low voice: "I went out just a few days after I got married, and this is the first time I have tasted my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship, why can't I eat more!"
Zhang Mai patted He Changdi on the shoulder and laughed, "Look, it's really an iron rooster!"
A plate of shredded beef is actually not much for four people, and when the plate is empty, several people are still unsatisfied, and finally the remaining vegetable oil and meat residue at the bottom of the plate are poured into Xiao Yuhong's own rice plate mixed with porridge and eaten their stomachs.
After the meal, Xiao Yuhong slapped He Changdi, "Brother He, when will my sister-in-law send something again?"
He Changdi lowered his eyes slightly, and he regretted it in his heart at this time! Because he was reluctant, every time he took out the small jar of shredded beef, he only ate a little, he knew that there would be this day, he would definitely have a good meal before, and he didn't have to feel distressed now.
However, this guy kept an eye on it, and didn't take out the beef jerky and pork jerky that Chu Lian sent him.
Hearing that Xiao Yuhong's kid still had to inch in, He Changdi raised his head and glanced at him coldly, thinking: My daughter-in-law is not cooking for you as a stinky man, she really thinks beautifully!
Xiao Yuhong touched her nose in a daze, and she was also angry in her heart, this Brother He looks at people very well on weekdays, why is he so stingy, he will definitely marry a daughter-in-law who will be a British government in the future!
After finishing the meal, a few people chatted, and because of this sudden trivial matter, the relationship between several people became a lot closer.
While they were talking, there was a commotion in front of a small tent not far away.
