Lin Yi didn't even know how to cook, but for him, who could kill people with his scrambled eggs with tomatoes, just thinking of a few dishes on the spur of the moment was as good as reaching the sky.
But he did have a clever trick, "Squad leader Chen, bring me this week's recipes so I can refer to them."
Monitor Chen didn't know if Lin Yi wanted to check his work or something, so why did he suddenly look at the menu? As for not being able to choose dishes, he didn't think about it at all.
He has seen Lin Yi's cooking skills before. Even Lao Jiang, who has a second-level chef certificate, can't compare with him. Based on this skill, squad leader Chen can guess that he has cooked as many as 800 kinds of dishes if not a thousand.
kind.
Soon squad leader Chen brought the recipe, and Lin Yi immediately chose a few of his favorite dishes, including tomato scrambled eggs, hot and sour shredded potatoes, fried pork with peppers, and cold bitter melon.
Then he made a circle and handed it to Squad Leader Chen, "Please help me prepare the ingredients for these dishes. I will cook them later."
Squad leader Chen noticed that he was a bit unprepared and said quickly: "Would you like to make some spareribs and braised pork? I can't get enough of these side dishes."
Lin Yi thought for a moment, "Are the ribs stewed in your pot? I'll serve a bowl of ribs later. This dish is hearty enough."
Monitor Chen immediately followed suit.
When he came back after getting the ingredients, Lin Yi also rolled up his sleeves and started working.
Because I have two cooking skills, whether it is cutting vegetables or cooking, I have shown a first-class level.
The people in the cooking class saw Lin Yi cooking yesterday, but it was a big pot of rice and the cooking was not very exquisite. So everyone only knew that Lin Yi could cook and the food was delicious, but the specific strength was still unknown.
.
As soon as Lin Yi's knife skills and spoon skills were revealed, all the cooks' eyes widened. With such fluent abilities, not to mention Deputy Squad Leader Jiang, even Squad Leader Chen might not be able to match him.
All of a sudden, everyone's attitude towards Lin Yi changed drastically. From being hostile to Lin Yi at the beginning, to being afraid of him, to now they kind of admire him.
Lin Yi saw everyone's eyes changed and knew that his leadership skills were playing a subtle role. Are these leadership skills so strong?
It's a bit too strong.
It wouldn't be a good idea if things continued like this.
At this time, the instructor also opened the door and walked in. When he saw Lin Yi cooking, he exclaimed, "What a skill, Xiao Lin, this dish is really delicious."
By chance, Reporter Tang also came in. He raised his camera and started taking pictures. While taking pictures, he said, "These stir-fried dishes are exquisitely made. Look at the tomato scrambled eggs, the red and yellow colors match them. Just by smelling them, you can tell they are sweet and sour."
The spicy and sour potato shreds, I didn’t even say how well they were fried. Just looking at the thickness of the potato shreds, I knew that this was not something ordinary people could cut.
…
The instructor looked at Reporter Tang chattering a lot and asked curiously: "Excuse me, are you comrade?"
Reporter Tang immediately explained, "Hello, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I am Tang Si, a reporter from the military newspaper, and I am here with your Battalion Commander Zhou."
Oh, you are the reporter of the military newspaper. The battalion commander told me that you are here to interview Xiao Lin, so you do the interview first and I will come in later.
The military newspaper reporter quickly grabbed the instructor and said, "No, you are the political commander of this battalion. The mission I came here to perform is also a political mission, so you don't have to avoid it."
The instructor thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll just watch from the side while you continue your task."
The interview went smoothly. After Lin Yi arranged to have a meal with the squad leader and the driver, he went to the instructor and said, "Instructor, what do you want to do with your visit?"
The instructor said: "The superior has ordered that your kitchen department should take a group of people to the service support camp to participate in the mission. I have discussed it with the battalion commander, and you will lead the team with seven or eight people. When the rainy season is over, we will go there.
You should hurry up and make arrangements."
Go to the service support camp? And take seven or eight people with you?
There are only fourteen or five people in the cooking class, and I want to take away half of them? What will happen to the food in the camp? There are only seven or eight people left, and it is impossible to guarantee the food of a camp.
The instructor seemed to have seen through Lin Yi's concern, "Manpower is indeed a big problem, so I also studied it on the way here. You can't take away the cooking squad leader and deputy squad leader. You can pick the rest at will."
.”
"Lao Chen and Lao Jiang are veterans of the cooking squad. With them in charge, even if there are only seven people left in the cooking squad, I believe they can find a way. At worst, I will arrange a platoon of soldiers during your mission.
Leave it to their command, and I won't worry about the food in the camp."
"What I'm most worried about now is your problem. Although your cooking skills are good, when you go to the service support camp, your ability to lead troops will be tested. Especially in terms of battlefield transportation, I'm worried that you won't be able to do well.
.But one thing I am relieved about is that you can still proactively solve the problem even when there is no food. This is an aspect that I am very optimistic about you."
Lin Yi nodded, "Then I will study more about battlefield transportation later."
The instructor had nothing more to explain, "Okay, you can start organizing the manpower now. The number of people is tentatively eight people. By the way, if you have any difficulties, ask me, and I will definitely solve them if I can help you."
Lin Yi suddenly said: "I really have a problem. Xiao Li, the driver of the supply truck, can you let me take him with me? Anyway, he doesn't have the supply truck anymore. Rather than leaving him idle, why not come with me?"
The instructor thought for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, you are also short of a driver anyway. Xiao Li's driving skills are pretty good, so let him follow you."
The reason why Lin Yi wanted to recruit Xiao Li was that, on the one hand, Xiao Li's driving skills were really good, and more importantly, Xiao Li was almost blindly obedient to him.
This is especially important on the battlefield, which means that he will execute his orders meticulously, which is more important than bringing along a few experienced veterans.
Another point is that since you are on a mission, you may perform meritorious service. Even if you don't perform meritorious service, this is something that can be left on your resume. It counts as a qualification. Since Xiao Li is following you, of course you can't let him suffer.
Back in the cooking class, reporter Tang Si and the team leader were chatting and eating. When the reporter saw Lin Yi coming back, he quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "Assistant Lin, this dish you made is so delicious. You will definitely wait for me."
You have to tell me how to do it, it’s a life hack, and it can be published in the newspaper when the time comes.”
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you how to do it later. I have something else to say to the cooking team. You guys eat first."
By the way, Lin Yi looked at the squad leader of the supply truck and said, "Comrade squad leader, don't leave just yet. I have something to ask you."
The squad leader was so full of food that he couldn't think of leaving. "Don't worry, Assistant Lin. I'll wait for you here after I finish eating."
