After dragging the cart back to the camp, Deputy Brigadier Meng asked: "Are you planning to compete with a big stove or a small stove?"
A big stove is a big pot of rice, and one pot can cook half a meal.
The small stove is easy to understand. It is a pan commonly used at home. Small stoves are usually used for cooking by leaders or patients, and are not used by ordinary people.
Squad leader Chen quickly said: "Let's compare it to a big stove."
Squad leader Chen's words are a bit biased towards Lin Yi. Small stoves pay more attention to the delicate taste, while large stoves, as long as the seasonings are almost evenly distributed, the taste will not be particularly unpleasant, and the difference between them will not be particularly large.
After Deputy Squad Leader Jiang heard this, he felt that Squad Leader Chen's elbows were a little turned out, but he didn't say anything. Who made him the squad leader? "It's better than Dazao. But Assistant Lin, let me remind you, Dazhao is also far away."
It’s not as easy to cook as you think, and just a matter of heat is not something someone like you who has never cooked in a big pot can handle."
Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's see what's going on. But it's still early to leave for dinner, so I'll go and do some work first. When it's almost time for dinner, we'll have a cooking competition."
Deputy squad leader Jiang clicked his tongue and said, "I probably want to ask for help, but it doesn't matter. I don't believe you can learn the essence of making a big pot of rice in just one or two hours."
Lin Yi glanced at Deputy Squad Leader Jiang, "I am an intern assistant in the logistics section of the battalion headquarters. I don't need to report to you, a cook, where I am going. I am talking to Deputy Brigadier Meng. Why do you keep interrupting me?"
Deputy squad leader Jiang usually talks about seniority and looks down on newcomers. This time, Lin Yi was speechless and felt extremely uncomfortable.
But he couldn't refute it. The fact was that Lin Yi was an assistant in the logistics department. Although he was an intern, his administrative level was much higher than that of Deputy Squad Leader Jiang.
When an ordinary squad leader sees Deputy Squad Leader Jiang, he can call him "Squad Leader". To put it bluntly, it's just a polite word. But to be more serious, Deputy Squad Leader Jiang is just an ordinary deputy squad leader. This is the lowest level of leadership and is nothing.
Deputy Brigadier Meng nodded: "Okay, Xiao Lin, go ahead and do your work. I'll be back in an hour."
Then he looked at Deputy Monitor Jiang and said, "Xiao Lin caught the fish, so I'll leave the scaling to you. Go ahead and do it."
Deputy Squad Leader Jiang did not dare to disobey Deputy Brigadier Meng, so he immediately grabbed the scraper and began to scrape the fish scales.
After Lin Yi left the cooking class, he hurried to the logistics tent. Xiao Li had already prepared the things. Lin Yi picked them up and started making an improved version of the scraper.
Xiao Li asked: "Assistant Lin, it's almost time for a competition. What are you doing? Is it useful for the competition?"
Lin Yi grinned, "It's of great use. You go to the cooking class and keep an eye on it. If anything happens, come back and report to me."
Xiao Li quickly agreed, but as soon as he walked out of the tent door, he shouted: "Squad leader Chen, you are here."
Squad Leader Chen nodded, "I have something to do with Assistant Lin."
Lin Yi was in a hurry now, so he had no time to greet Squad Leader Chen. After Squad Leader Chen stepped into the tent door, he saw Lin Yi swinging a few boards and took out a notebook from his arms.
"Assistant Lin, this notebook contains my experience in making big pot rice over the years. Although it is not very high-end, this is what I teach new recruits in the cooking class every year. It should be of some use."
Lin Yi didn't even raise his head, "Thank you, Squad Leader Chen, but I really don't have time to go see it now."
When Squad Leader Chen saw that Lin Yi had reached this point and was still playing with the wood, he sighed, "That's right. In this little time, it's too late to see. Then let me tell you the key points of making a big pot of rice."
Making big pot rice is not as easy as imagined. The main reason is that there are many ingredients and they are not easy to cook, especially in terms of heat. You must stir-fry the ingredients frequently to avoid burning the pot.
The other thing is the addition of seasonings. How many spoons of salt, how many spoons of soy sauce, how many spoons of vinegar do you need to add to a pot of food? These are all very different from cooking in a small pot.
…
Squad leader Chen kindly explained the key points to Lin Yi, but Lin Yi was concentrating on making the improved scraper. Half an hour later, squad leader Chen's mouth was dry from talking, but Lin Yi suddenly shouted, "It's done."
With the arrival of the system prompt tone.
Lin Yi also got some invention points as he wished.
When Squad Leader Chen saw this improved scraper, he didn't show much interest. This thing is only suitable for novices who don't know anything. It's useless for veterans in the cooking class.
Seeing that Lin Yi was not interested in listening to his speech, Squad Leader Chen shook his head and forced the notebook to Lin Yi, "Assistant Lin, hurry up and take a look. This will be somewhat useful. It is really suitable for novices.
"
"And this competition will be watched by Deputy Brigadier Meng. He is the commander of Tianda. We cooks have no chance to ask for him in this life, but you are an officer. You will definitely need his help in the future, so
You must leave a good impression on him."
Lin Yi was suddenly stunned at this moment, not because of what Squad Leader Chen said, but because the system actually sounded again.
"Ding, I came across a special item, 'Squad Leader Chen's Cooking Notebook'."
‘Monitor Chen’s Cooking Notebook’, you can increase your cooking skills by watching it. It is only suitable for use with a cooking skill point of 1 or less.
Monitor Chen saw Lin Yi staring at his notebook without speaking for a long time, and patted him on the shoulder, "Am I putting pressure on you? Forget it, I'm not very good at talking. You are a top student, and you must have your own ideas.
Then I’ll go back to the cooking class first.”
Lin Yi watched Squad Leader Chen step out of the tent door and shouted quickly: "Thank you, Squad Leader Chen, I'll look at my notes right now."
Squad Leader Chen didn't even look back, "You're welcome, it's just the most basic stuff anyway, there's nothing to thank you for."
Lin Yi's cooking skill points are currently at 0 points. Fortunately, he hasn't had time to add points, otherwise this notebook would be unusable.
Monitor Chen's cooking notes are actually not thick, they are all about the most basic things. Lin Yi has a strong learning ability and finished reading them in less than half an hour.
Ding, monitor Chen’s cooking notes were successfully studied.
Ding, increase your cooking skills.
1 point in cooking skills (comparable to a cook who has been cooking in a big pot for several years).
Seeing that the evaluation of cooking skills had changed, Lin Yi knew that this evaluation would probably not be able to compete with Deputy Monitor Jiang, so he quickly added some inventions gained from making an improved spatula.
Ding, increase your cooking skills.
2 points in cooking skills (equivalent to the level of a senior cooking squad leader).
This comment made Lin Yi's eyes light up. Hey, it's stable this time.
Xiao Li also ran over at this time, "Assistant Lin, Deputy Brigadier Meng asked you to come over, please go quickly."
"By the way, I think Deputy Monitor Jiang is preparing some spices. I heard Monitor Chen whisper that this spice can enhance the flavor of the fish. Deputy Monitor Jiang is too yin to be such a bully."
Lin Yi patted Xiao Li on the shoulder, "My Comrade Xiao Li, you have to know that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain. Just be optimistic this time."
