Chapter 283: Ready for War, Level 1 Combat Readiness
"I congratulate you on your wealth and success. I congratulate you on your brilliance. The best ones please come over, the bad ones please go away. The more gifts you give, the less blame you will feel..."
In the spacious and bright cafeteria, King Liu’s classic songs are played on a loop.
The melody of this song seems to be engraved in the DNA of the Chinese people.
Whenever I hear this song in the supermarket, the feeling of the New Year comes to me.
We can do without red lanterns and small candies, but we must listen to King Liu’s “Gong Xi Fa Cai”, otherwise the New Year atmosphere will always be missing.
At this moment, everyone in the camp gathered in the cafeteria, making dumplings in a lively manner.
Some people mix the filling, some roll out the dough, and some are responsible for wrapping it. Everyone has a clear division of labor.
For people in the north, eating dumplings is the most important part of the Spring Festival.
If you don’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, then this Chinese New Year will definitely be incomplete.
This shows how important dumplings are on the dining table in the north.
But not everyone present knew how to make dumplings.
The vast majority of them are the type with well-developed limbs who can eat but not wrap.
"Oh no! Why is the filling in my dumplings exposed?"
Qi Meng used too much force with his hands and broke the dumpling.
The greasy chive and egg filling was leaked by him.
No matter how he tried to make amends, it was impossible to make up for it.
In the end, he rolled it into a big ball.
He nudged Li Jiasheng and said, "Bach, look at my dumplings. How much do they resemble glutinous rice balls?"
Li Jiasheng next to him seemed not to hear him.
They fiddled with the dumplings in their hands, staring at each other with great care.
As a native of Xishan, he knows much more about pasta than others.
In their local area, all kinds of pasta have been almost exhausted.
So, Li Jiasheng is very confident about the dumplings he makes...bullshit!
"Damn it, how come this thing looks simple, but is so hard to wrap?"
"What the hell did I pack? Why is it so ugly?"
Li Jiasheng looked at the dumpling in his hand, which looked like dog shit, and suddenly felt discouraged.
I have wrapped it very carefully, why is it still like this?
It's such a disgrace to the people of Xishan!
"Dangdangdang! Look at what I made. Isn't it pretty?"
At this time, Chen Sanxi was holding a dumpling that looked like a gold ingot in his palm.
He shook his head and showed off to Qi Meng and Li Jiasheng.
The two looked at the one Chen Sanxi had wrapped, then looked at the one they had wrapped, and they really felt it was too disgusting to look at.
But why do I feel so uncomfortable when I see Chen Sanxi's arrogant look?
Li Jiasheng winked at Qi Meng, and Qi Meng immediately understood and grinned.
He suddenly struck Chen Sanxi's hand with a palm strike, turning his dumpling into a pancake.
"Ouch! What are you doing?"
Chen Sanxi was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He had just started learning the white case and had achieved some results.
Li Jiasheng and Qi Meng grinned widely, unable to close their mouths at all: "Sanxi, it all tastes the same when you eat it, it doesn't matter if it's flat or square!"
"You guys are so annoying, I don't want to play with you anymore!"
Chen Sanxi seemed to have been wronged and was about to go to the kitchen to complain pitifully.
When the two saw him like this, they laughed even more happily.
At the other table, Wu Jin, who was making dumplings, suddenly said something.
"Shall we add some toppings to the dumplings?"
"Add what?"
"Didn't the company commander make spicy glutinous rice balls during the relay race this morning? Let's make spicy dumplings!"
"Tsk! Isn't this too unoriginal?"
"So, what do you want to pack?"
"How about we pack him some...boogers?"
"..."
The whole group of people stopped what they were doing and stared at Niu Tiejun with extremely disgusted eyes.
Niu Tiejun suddenly became embarrassed: "I was joking, just joking, how can you be so mean? Besides, we can't get that many together."
"I have an idea." At this time, Xu Tiancai, who had been silent on the side, suddenly took out a tube of something and put it on the table.
"mustard?"
"horseradish?"
Several people's eyes suddenly lit up.
If you wrap this thing in dumplings, it will be absolutely awesome.
This thing is different from chili pepper. One is spicy in the mouth, the other is spicy in the nasal cavity.
Just looking at the taste, even people who can eat spicy food would definitely not be able to stand it.
"That's a good idea! Xu Tiancai, where did you get this?" Wu Jin asked with a smile.
"I brought it from the kitchen. I was planning to keep it for myself to dip in dumplings."
Xu Tiancai's words left everyone stunned.
Horseradish as a dip for dumplings?
What kind of magical way is this?
Niu Tiejun clasped his hands together, a look of admiration on his face. "I've heard of people dipping dumplings in vinegar, soy sauce, and even ketchup, but this is the first time I've heard of someone dipping them in horseradish! He's an expert!"
Xu Tiancai smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you, thank you..."
After saying that, the group of people looked around like thieves.
Make sure no one notices and carefully squeeze the mustard into the dumplings.
And mark these dumplings with chive leaves to prevent accidental injury to friendly forces.
But little did they know that other people were also doing a lot of cool things while making dumplings.
Some people added a lot of salt to the dumplings, some added a lot of sugar, and some even poured a lot of pepper powder into them.
In short, everyone hopes to play a prank on others while eating dumplings.
Anyway, dumplings are just the staple food, there are many other delicious dishes besides these.
It's fun for everyone to have fun and create a festive atmosphere.
......
At the same time, the kitchen was busy.
All the dishes that are not usually seen appeared on the menu.
Liu Yong even had the unique idea of preparing a small alcohol stove for each table.
This way, you don’t have to worry about the food getting cold while you’re eating.
There was also laughter in the battalion commander's office on the other side.
Guo Haitao smiled and said, "Qin Feng, you did a great job organizing this event today. It was really interesting! But I suggest that next time, don't put so many chilies in the glutinous rice balls. I still feel like the chrysanthemums are withered and the ground is covered with wounds..."
Ge Zhiyong slapped his thigh, laughing until tears came out: "Qin Feng, you don't know, this old guy has hemorrhoids and can't eat spicy food."
"Going to the toilet before was like giving birth. It was excruciatingly painful for him."
"I even secretly recorded it, listen to it..."
Qin Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard the screams that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
Guo Haitao was furious and cursed Ge Zhiyong, saying that he was such a wicked bastard and that this thing was even recorded.
The two of them fought and quarreled for a long time before they calmed down. Qin Feng then asked, "By the way, Captain, when will the rewards for earthquake relief be distributed?"
Ge Zhiyong wiped his tears and said, "I'll send it out after dinner. It'll be a surprise for everyone."
Qin Feng nodded, thinking it would be a good idea to post it during the festive season.
This can be considered a blessing upon happiness.
"It's almost time. The dumplings over there should be put into the pot."
"Let's go to the cafeteria quickly and turn on the TV. We can watch the gala while eating dumplings and have a good Lantern Festival."
"Oh, I'm really hungry when it comes to dumplings. No one is going to snatch them from me. I'm going to eat eighty of them!"
"Hahahaha, no one's competing with you. Let's go, let's go eat dumplings..."
The three of them stood up from the sofa, talking and laughing.
Just as I was about to walk out, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
......
"Dumplings are ready to go!"
Plates of strangely shaped dumplings were brought into the kitchen and put into the pressure cooker.
Put the lid on, adjust the pressure, and then just wait.
At this moment, the table is already filled with all kinds of delicious food, many of which are things that everyone has heard of but never seen before.
Spicy stewed lamb trotters, clear stewed lamb, special milk tea, fried milk, typhoon shelter prawns...
Just looking at it makes people drool.
The TV was turned on at this moment, and the Lantern Festival Gala had already begun.
Everyone sat on the benches, quietly waiting for Qin Feng and the others to arrive, but no matter how long they waited, there was no sign of anyone.
"It's already 8:10, why haven't the company commander and the others arrived yet?"
"Yeah, they're not even active at eating. We'll eat all the dumplings soon, and there'll only be some dumpling soup left for them!"
"I'm so hungry. I really want to eat spicy lamb trotters. It must be delicious..."
Just when everyone was hungry and talking non-stop.
A sharp, piercing alarm sounded suddenly in my ears.
Everyone was startled, the hair on their arms stood on end, and their scalps tensed instantly.
Zhao Pengfei quickly pushed the stool away, stood up and shouted: "Level 1 combat readiness, level 1 combat readiness!"
