The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company were all sitting upright around the dining table, which was filled with sumptuous dishes. Several tables near the door were empty, and there were several bottles of Maotai wine on them. The deputy commander had just stepped through the door.

I only heard the command from the commander of the Eighth Company: "Stand up." All the officers and soldiers stood up in unison.

The deputy commander quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't make so many rules. I am an ordinary soldier now, just like you. Everyone sits down to eat."

Another command was heard: "Sit down." All the officers and soldiers sat down again in a daze, but no one moved their chopsticks. Everyone was gathered around the table, as if they were having a military meeting, and it was not obvious that they were eating.

The deputy commander smiled and said: "It seems that if I don't eat, no one will eat it. Well, I have to eat it first." He took a bite of green vegetables and chewed them. "Green vegetables are better. I introduced them to Chiang Kai-shek back then."

When Shi Gan was fighting, our company was surrounded by Kuomintang and Kuomintang regiments on the mountain. We ate this food every day, it was a life-saving dish."

Hearing the deputy commander's words, everyone put their chopsticks towards the plate of vegetables. Normally, there would always be the most vegetables left, but today they were all gone.

"Hahaha, you usually train intensely and consume a lot of physical energy. You need to eat more meat and vegetables, a combination of meat and vegetables, and a balanced nutrition." The deputy commander then picked up another piece of beef and started chewing it.

Beef, everyone reached out to pick up the beef again. Seeing that everyone was very restrained, the deputy commander said: "Everyone can eat as much as you like. You can eat whatever you want." The officers and soldiers began to eat in an old-fashioned way.

They were gobbling it down. At this time, everyone turned into little wives who had just entered the house, and they wanted to be as polite as possible.

As he ate, the deputy commander slowly frowned and suddenly said loudly: "Please come over, deputy company commander and division chief."

The deputy company commander and division commander heard the sound and ran over. They stood upright in front of the deputy commander and waited for the chief to ask questions.

"Do our soldiers usually eat like this?" the deputy commander asked.

"Yes...yes..." the Chief of Staff stuttered.

"Please answer the deputy company commander. He is the chief steward." The deputy commander turned to the deputy company commander.

"That's basically the case." the deputy company commander said tremblingly.

"Then you two housekeepers are incompetent. Come on, let's do the math. This plate of green pepper shredded pork costs 5 yuan, this plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes costs 3 yuan, this plate costs 2 yuan... this

I'm afraid a table of meals costs more than 100 yuan, right? Based on a table of eight people, the per capita cost is 12 yuan, and our soldiers' food expenses for a day are less than 2 yuan. With the way you eat, the food for the soldiers for a year

After a few months, won’t you eat it all? What will you eat in the remaining months? Let’s drink the northwest wind? Also, the army ordered that you should not drink alcohol, but you put wine on the table, and it is Maotai liquor. This is not something special.

?"

"This, this..." The deputy company commander blushed and was speechless.

"Reporting to the chief, we only do this when entertaining guests. We also buy some non-staple food by ourselves, so we can basically cover this part of the expenses." said the Secretary.

"Oh, I made some non-staple food by myself. Let's talk about all the non-staple food." The deputy commander suddenly became interested.

"Reporting to the commander, we usually pickle some radishes, chive flowers, and bacon. When there is a shortage of vegetables, we take them out and eat them together. The officers and soldiers of the company will not be short of food all year round." The division chief replied quickly.

"Hurry up and bring over two plates of your pickled vegetables for me to try," the deputy commander said.

The chief clerk hurried into the kitchen and brought out two plates of vegetables a few minutes later, one with pickled radish and the other with pickled chive flowers.

The deputy commander picked up a shredded radish and tasted it with relish, "Well, the pickled taste is good, and the chive flowers are also good. Comrade Secretary, this is the revolutionary tradition. Can you take some with me when I leave?

ah?"

"Of course, deputy commander, I'll take care of it," said the chief of staff.

After the deputy commander made such a joke, the atmosphere at the scene gradually relaxed, "I still want to thank you for preparing such a sumptuous lunch for me. It's just a bit extravagant. Of course, then again, it's not your fault at all. The superiors

When people come, if the reception is not good, they will complain. Now I can’t bear to come to the grassroots to work. When I come, your daily life will be completely disrupted. If I stay here for three to five months, next year

Our soldiers must drink the northwest wind. Now you two, listen to me. I said it in front of your army, division and regiment commanders. When you cook in the future, do what you usually do now. This is

Order."
