Lin Yi's proactive explanation made the director of the director department feel a lot more relaxed. After all, Brigadier Meng's position was too high. If he made the brigade commander angry, he would most likely be scolded.
How could the brigade commander not understand what this meant, but he was still very happy to see Lin Yi, so he didn't say anything: "Okay, I'll leave my car for you. Return to the team on time tomorrow morning. The army will set off tomorrow morning.
There can be no delay.”
Lin Yi immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes."
The motorcade came and left quickly. Most of the things were placed at the door. It wasn't that they couldn't be placed inside the house. This was mainly for the convenience of briefings. The accompanying correspondent took a lot of photos and then left.
Lin Yi saw that the convoy had disappeared, so he shouted to a bush in the northwest corner: "Old hero, why are you still hiding? There is no one here, come out quickly."
Lin Yi's shouting had no effect, and the northwest was still quiet. Lin Yi had no choice but to walk over. The distance of one kilometer made Lin Yi walk for a long time until he reached the grass root. Lin Yi picked it up.
He pounded the grass with a branch and said: "Old hero, please stop playing hide and seek with me. I have already discovered you."
The old hero who was discovered looked surprised. He emerged from the grass and asked, "How did you find me? I obviously hid it very well."
Lin Yi shrugged. He discovered that the old hero had just gotten out of the car half an hour ago.
At that time, he accidentally saw a rabbit moving, but it jumped around a few times and disappeared, so he was about to scan it with his eagle eye. As soon as he opened his eagle eye, he found the old hero's cat tiptoeing into the hay in the distance.
Lin Yi knew that this was the tactical thinking of an old hero, not a special hobby. After all, as an artilleryman, if you can't even conduct covert observation, you are not a qualified artilleryman.
There are many things that need to be learned in gunnery, and it is far from as simple as being able to pull a string.
But it must be said that the old hero's covert reconnaissance is really good. He can only find out when the old hero is moving. Later, when the old hero stops moving, he wants to find out, but it is as difficult as reaching the sky.
Lin Yi did not answer the old hero's question, but changed the topic, "Old hero, you shouldn't be like this. It's not like you don't know how precious the chief's time is. You should meet him at some point."
The old hero waved his hand: "Just because his time is precious, I don't dare to waste his time. If I weren't afraid that the animals in the mountains would destroy some fruits and meat, I wouldn't want to come back and hide and watch. My sheep are still there."
They are eating grass two miles away."
Lin Yi smiled: "Let's go and drive the sheep back. This time the leaders have given you a lot of things, especially our brigade commander, who has given you a lot of good wine, all in mineral water bottles."
The old hero saw Meng Chuan just now and asked: "Your brigade commander is Brigadier Meng, right? He is the only one who secretly brings me wine every time he comes to visit me. This wine is very high-end, and I usually don't."
I can't bear to drink. We can only drink when we have guests. Don't leave in a hurry later. We need to drink some."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I would have such a good taste. Okay, I'll cook you two dishes later and let's have some drinks."
When the old hero heard that Lin Yi knew how to cook, he quickly asked: "How is your cooking skills?"
Lin Yi didn't expect the old hero's reaction to be so big. He scratched his head and said, "I'm just an average cook. I can eat it anyway."
The old hero knew that this was Lin Yi's self-effacement. Since he said he was at the level of a cooking class, his level must not be bad, so he quickly urged Lin Yi to go back to the house: "I will drive the sheep myself, and you go back and cook a few vegetables."
Let’s do it separately without wasting any time.”
Lin Yi saw that the old man (the old hero was called the old man awkwardly, and he was called the old man from now on to show his kindness) was not very good at cooking. In fact, this was a normal phenomenon. After all, as a veteran like this, he had always eaten in the army, so there was no need to
If you have the opportunity to cook for yourself, your cooking skills will naturally deteriorate over time.
Moreover, when he put the "mineral water" in the house just now, he also went to the kitchen to take a look and found that there were not many bowls and chopsticks. The food was naturally extremely simple. It was probably a simple meal every day, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay.
, then I will go back to cook, do you have any requirements for the taste?"
The old man was simple: "Just make it a little stronger. I won't live for a few years, so I don't have to worry about the taste getting too strong."
Lin Yi knew that this was a common problem of eating big pot rice for a long time. It was extremely simple to cook something lighter at home, or to have a more normal taste, but the big pot rice in the army did have a slightly heavier taste.
Lin Yi originally said that the amount of exercise a soldier does is different from that of ordinary people. If his meals are not a little heavier, his physical strength will not be able to keep up.
Some people may question me, why are the meals in Guangdong so mainly light? Don’t they have the physical strength to keep up?
This involves the ranking of big pot dishes. If you observe carefully, you will find that dishes like big pot dishes are basically based on northern cuisines and are rarely seen in the south. Even if they are, they are definitely not as famous as those in the north.
As for big pot dishes, they need to have a stronger flavor, which means heavy oil and heavy salt, so that the taste will be fragrant.
So you will find a very strange phenomenon, that is, once a soldier is discharged from the army, he will gain weight very quickly when he returns to the place. This is because he has been accustomed to eating from the big pot in the army for a long time. When he returns to the place, the dishes he eats are basically the same.
They are all slightly larger, and dishes with heavy oil and salt are indeed more stimulating to people to eat more. If you eat too much, you will naturally gain weight.
Lin Yi quickly returned to the bungalow. There was a vegetable garden behind the bungalow, but the strange thing was that the vegetable garden was not small, on the contrary, it was very large. The vegetables produced here could not be eaten by the old man alone, even for the whole company.
When people eat together, it is almost enough.
At this time, the cows brayed in the cowshed, and Lin Yi suddenly realized that this was not for cattle and sheep. Looking at so many fresh vegetables, Lin Yi also admired: "The treatment of cattle and sheep at the old man's house is quite good.
Not bad."
After picking some peppers, Lin Yi prepared two dishes, one with green pepper fried pork and one with green pepper bacon.
I picked some more water spinach. This season's water spinach is green and tender. I stir-fry some garlic paste and add two drops of sesame oil before taking it out of the pan. The taste is incredible.
Cucumbers and tomatoes are essential cold dishes. On this hot day, cucumbers and tomatoes mixed with sugar are indispensable.
The carrots and white radish also need to be peeled a little, and then go back to stew some pork ribs soup. The rest is directly mixed with the meat noodles, made into meatballs, and left for the old man to eat slowly.
You also have to pick some green beans. Whether they are cooked and served cold, or stir-fried with meat, they taste good.
As for the chickens raised in the backyard, forget it. There are enough dishes. If you cook too many and don't finish them all, it's a waste.
