Chapter 8 Stewed Vermicelli with Cabbage and Pork (continued)
"Don't cut the meat too small, otherwise it will cook!"
Snake Butt looked at Wang Zhong holding his special kitchen knife and couldn't help but give instructions with a worried look on his face.
Wang Zhong pressed the meat with his left hand and held the knife in his right hand. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm a professional!"
While speaking, the huge bone-cutting knife was already cutting. Looking at the rapidly forming pieces of meat, and listening to the sound of the collision between the kitchen knife and the chopping board, the defeated soldiers all widened their eyes, pricked up their ears, and kept
Swallowing his saliva, his eyes were already straight.
Wang Zhong cut the meat and poured the little bit of oil left by the veterinarian into a clean clay pot. After the oil was hot, he immediately poured in the pork belly cut into large pieces.
"This pork belly is also called three-layer pork. Stir-fry the oil first. Later, the vermicelli and cabbage will be covered with meat flavor."
Wang Zhong took a makeshift wooden spatula and kept stirring the pork belly slices under the clay pot. After a while, the aroma of pork wafted out from the clay pot.
The sounds of swallowing became more frequent and intensive all around, and a dozen pairs of eyes were staring straight at the clay pot.
The intoxicating aroma stirred their heartstrings all the time.
Add vermicelli, spring water, soy sauce, salt, and finally cabbage in order.
Looking at the dishes that were already half piled with casings and dyed extremely oily with soy sauce, the sounds of swallowing around them became more and more rapid.
As the last jar of spring water was poured into the clay pot, Wang Zhong covered it with a bamboo hat and said to the bean cakes on the fire: "Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook for twenty minutes."
Doubian smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
The defeated soldiers nearby were already looking forward to seeing what happened.
“It smells so good!”
Usually, chefs are always like snakes, but now, he couldn't help closing his eyes, raising his head slightly, taking a deep breath, feeling the meaty aroma that almost penetrated into his soul, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You kid actually has this skill. This pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli is made with vermicelli. It looks quite authentic!" Milong had come to the temporary stove for some reason and joined the crowd.
"Boss Mi, do you want to join us too?" Wang Zhong said to Mi Long with a smile.
Mi Long glanced at the defeated soldiers surrounding the stove, and finally his eyes fell on Wang Zhong. After a while, he said: "I still have a few cans of beef over there."
The defeated soldiers all looked at the Mysterious Dragon in surprise. They really couldn't believe their ears. The words just now came from the mouth of the boss of the shelter station.
It's no wonder that these defeated soldiers would think so. In fact, Milong usually behaves too strong and domineering, and he has always looked down on their group of defeated soldiers who are like mud.
This guy has a vicious mouth, and there is no way to stop him. Except for a few veterinarians, all the defeated soldiers in the shelter have not been disliked by him. The key is that this guy is also good at fighting, three or five.
No one may be able to beat him, so this guy is used to being the king in the courtyard, and no one dares to stroke his beard.
But now, they heard such words from the mouth of the mysterious dragon, how could they not be surprised.
But Milong ignored this group of cannon fodder, and instead turned around and entered his small shop. When he came out, there were already a few more cans in his hands. Everyone consciously made way for Milong to walk to the makeshift building.
Beside the stove.
Everyone's eyes first stayed on Mi Long for a short while, and then they stared at the cans in Mi Long's hand. Although they were made of beef, and although they were making pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli today, they were not.
No one mentioned this at all. At this moment, everyone had only one thought left in their minds. They quickly opened the can in Milong's hand and poured the meat inside into the pot.
Under everyone's gaze, Milong opened the cans one by one and poured them into the pot.
Wang Zhong, who was in charge of the spoon, stirred it a few times with a simple wooden stick and then covered it with the bamboo hat again.
But the defeated soldiers gathered around the stove with no intention of leaving. As the flames continued to burn, the heat rose, steam gradually came out of the pot, and the sound of gurgling boiling gradually came out.
Wang Zhong asked Doubian to lower the heat to a simmer and simmer for another twenty minutes. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he smiled and opened the bamboo hat covering the mouth of the pot.
Without Wang Zhong's greeting, everyone gathered around the stove with bowls in hand.
"Snake butt!"
"Come and share it!"
Wang Zhong called Snake Butt and gave him the job of dividing the dishes.
"I'm coming!"
"Don't worry!"
"Get in line and take your time one by one!"
······
It didn't take long for most of the pot of pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew to be divided among several people, leaving nothing behind.
The veterinarian and Ayi were the two slowest eaters among the defeated soldiers. Everyone else devoured the food, eager to swallow all the portions they were given in one bite.
The veterinarian is old and has bad teeth. He is also afraid that he will choke if he eats too fast and it will be difficult to digest.
And Ah Yi has such a personality.
"I really can't believe that you have such good cooking skills." Ayi praised while eating pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli.
The veterinarian couldn't help but nodded and said: "Old man, I have lived for most of my life. I have traveled south and north. I have been to many places. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli."
"By the way, why do you know how to do everything?" The veterinarian said as he looked at Wang Zhong curiously.
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "The world is so chaotic now, so it's not like you can learn as much as you can."
Before the veterinarian said anything, Ayi next to him nodded in agreement.
A meal of pork stewed with vermicelli brought the defeated soldiers closer to each other. After this meal of pork stewed with vermicelli, Yu Xiaoqing's cronies also began to conduct emergency training for the defeated soldiers in preparation for going to Burma.
The weather in Zenda in summer is just like a woman's face. It changes at a moment's notice. The sun was shining brightly one moment, but not long after, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder thundered, and after a while, heavy rain fell.
, turning everyone who was training into a drowned rat.
Even so, He Shuguang and the others had no intention of stopping. Instead, he took off his clothes first, shirtless, and led the defeated troops to train in the rain.
Running, military posture, and formation, within twenty days, we strive to train this group of stragglers to at least look energetic, so that they will not be dragged to Burma and lose the face of his iron blood.
Mi Long, who was persuaded by Wang Zhong, finally couldn't sit still when he saw He Shuguang leading the cannon fodder for training, but before he could do it, he threw a dice to the bullshit stationmaster of the shelter station with all the supplies he had managed to save.
, Wang Zhong suggested to him in advance to transfer these materials first.
The small cellar that Wang Zhong asked Bu La and Yao Ma to dig in Xiao Zui's warehouse came into its own. Mi Long's room full of supplies filled the cellar, and a heavy old elm cabinet was placed on top.
Training for most of the day every day made Wang Zhong's time tight, so he could only go to Xiao Zui's place after training every day to continue teaching her basic medical and health knowledge. Xiao Zui knew that Wang Zhong would soon follow the large army.
I went to Myanmar. Although I didn’t say it with my mouth, I couldn’t help but worry in my heart.
After all, this time I went to Myanmar to fight with the Japs, not to go abroad for sightseeing. Of course, people would die in a war.
Xiaozui's brother died on the battlefield.
Although Xiaozui was worried, she also knew that this battle had to be fought, and she never said anything about asking Wang Zhong to stay.
She just washed Wang Zhong's worn-out military uniform again and again, and repaired the rips with her poor needlework.
The night before departure, Wang Zhong came out of the shelter, came to Xiaozui's house, and knocked on the courtyard door.
"Brother? Is that you?" Xiao Zui's voice came from the courtyard.
"It's me!" Xiao Zui had already kept Wang Zhong's deep voice firmly in mind.
There were hurried footsteps behind the door, and a moment later, the courtyard door made an unpleasant creaking sound and was opened from the inside.
"Go to the kitchen and get some oil!" Wang Zhong did not enter the door directly, but began to tinker with the door panel.
This door panel uses an old-fashioned kind of stopcock, and the upper and lower ends are reduced into a cylindrical shape and put into the round holes on both sides of the threshold. At this time, a lot of dust has fallen into the round hole.
Wang Zhong removed the door panel, cleaned the dust and debris in the round hole, applied some oil that Xiao Zui brought over, and then put the door panel back.
The weather was hot, and there were many mosquitoes. The mosquito coils made by Wang Zhong were burning in the room, and they were very effective. There were already countless mosquito corpses lying on the ground.
Wang Zhong took out a bag from his arms and put it on the table. The ocean inside made some sounds as it collided.
"What is this?" Xiaozui looked at Wang Zhong doubtfully.
Wang Zhong said: "This is the ocean. You should collect it first. Those few small yellow croakers have been collected. Don't take them out unless absolutely necessary."
"I haven't spent all the money you gave me last time! No need..." Halfway through his words, Xiao Zui suddenly realized something and looked at Wang Zhong hurriedly and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Wang Zhong nodded and said: "I just received the order from the superiors in the afternoon, asking us to set off early tomorrow morning."
Xiaozui bit her lower lip subconsciously, was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
Wang Zhongdao: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the fighter planes are fleeting. It is estimated that the front line has already started fighting."
Xiaozui looked straight at Wang Zhong and said, "Brother, you have to be careful and protect yourself."
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not like you don't know my shooting skills. I will kill the Japanese from a long distance away and won't give him a chance to get close to me."
Listening to Wang Zhong's confident words, although she knew that Wang Zhong's marksmanship was accurate, the worry in Xiaozui's heart still did not go away. However, she also knew that what she wanted to do at this time was not to worry Wang Zhong, but to make Wang Zhong
You can go to Myanmar with peace of mind and no worries.
So he said: 'Brother's marksmanship is definitely inferior to that of the little devil.'
"By the way, brother, how long will it take for you to come back this time?"
Wang Zhongdao: "It's hard to say. If things go well, we may be back in ten and a half months. But if things don't go well and the war becomes intense, it's not impossible to fight for several years."
Xiao Zui nodded, got up from the inner room, and when he came out, he was holding a few pairs of brand new socks and leggings in his hands: "I heard that there is a lot of rain in Myanmar, so I made some pairs of socks for you. If they get wet, you can still have some socks."
A replacement."
There wasn't much that Xiaozui could do. After much thought, he could only help Wang Chong make a few pairs of socks.
"I was worried that I didn't have any socks to change. Your socks came at the right time." Wang Zhong took the socks with a smile on his face.
"I still have a lot of the beef jerky you brought last time at home. Take it with you when you leave. When you get to Myanmar, just eat some when you're hungry."
