Chapter 292 Microwave Oven
The officers' mess and the soldiers' mess are adjacent but independent of each other. Gao Yuan and the others walked through a separate passage.
Cahill greeted Team Spark at the door, but Andrew did not.
Cahill also wore military uniforms instead of regular uniforms or combat uniforms, which put Gao Yuan and others at a disadvantage because they could not bring military uniforms with them on this expedition.
"Welcome, please come in."
The welcome ceremony was very brief. When Gao Yuan and the others entered, they found that there were quite a lot of people in the officers' mess. From the second lieutenant to the top colonel, Colonel Andrew Marshall, there were thirty-six people in total. They were all wearing uniforms, but looking at the military uniforms,
It can be seen that the officers present are from several countries.
Colonel Andrew was wearing a U.S. Army officer uniform. He stood in front of a long dining table and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome to our guests who have come from afar."
The officers also applauded, and after the team led by Pan Xin stopped at the door, Li Yang whispered: "Salute, captain, no need."
Gao Yuan was also wearing a military uniform, but his uniform did not have a military rank. However, although Pan Xin's military uniforms were combat camouflage uniforms, they all had military ranks at this time. In other words, none of the Chinese soldiers present had a higher rank than Colonel Andrew.
of.
Gao Yuan walked up to Andrew, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you."
Nothing else, Andrew seemed a little surprised, because he thought he was a man enough, but Gao Yuan looked more manly than him.
Andrew and Gao Yuan shook hands, and then they separated and faced Pan Xin and the others.
Pan Xin and the others had already dispersed and were standing scatteredly in front of Andrew, because if they stood in line again at this time, wouldn't it mean that they were being inspected by Andrew?
Pan Xin saluted and said loudly: "Hello, Mr. Colonel."
There are four people without military rank marks, namely Gao Yuan, Xinghe, Li Yang, and Yu Shunzhou, so they don't have to salute, but Pan Xin must salute, because he is a soldier and has a military rank, so when he sees a military rank higher than his own,
For officers, it is international etiquette to salute first.
Andrew returned the salute, and then he reached out to shake Pan Xin's hand and patted Pan Xin's shoulder. He looked very bold and looked much more relaxed than the serious and serious Pan Xin and the others.
Obviously, these people were still having a desperate doomsday carnival last night, but today, the airs have been put on.
"Today is a special day. All NATO officers stationed at Kandahar Air Force Base are here. There are military personnel from Mi Lijian here."
Twelve American soldiers were divided into a group to see what military uniforms they had. After Andrew finished speaking, they went through it together.
Of course, Pan Xin and the others also had to return the gift.
"There are British soldiers."
Or salute in return.
"Soldiers of the Maple Leaf Kingdom."
To introduce a country's military personnel is to salute and return the salute.
"There are also soldiers from Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Mactan."
The origins of these soldiers are really quite mixed, but when Andrew introduced them, they were clearly separated by distance and distance. Several non-hardcore countries were automatically grouped into one group and introduced.
After the introduction, Andrew said enthusiastically: "Please sit down, please sit down. Today I treat you to a delicacy from my hometown, Texas steak."
The two parties sat down, Gao Yuan and Andrew sat at a table, and not long after, the chef wearing a military uniform and a chef's hat brought in plates one by one.
A large barbecue steak with fries piled on the side and ketchup on the plate.
But the supply here must be tight, at least for ketchup. Otherwise, there should be at least a bottle of ketchup on every table, instead of just a small pile on the plate.
"please."
Andrew also laid out a napkin and tried to be civilized while eating. However, Gao Yuan had also seen what starving people looked like, so he knew that this meal was definitely an extremely rare and precious meal for Andrew.
Especially when eating French fries with ketchup, you can tell by looking at Andrew that this is a great enjoyment for him.
Occasionally, if you look sideways at other officers, you will know how good the food is here.
Not starving, but definitely not good. This is the conclusion Gao Yuan came to after observing.
A large piece of steak is not even an appetizer for Gao Yuan. It is precisely because he is hungry every day, so Gao Yuan can eat very relaxedly. He is not full anyway, so he just wants to taste it.
Xinghe ate the steak, and then she said in surprise: "It's delicious!"
Taking another bite, Xinghe nodded repeatedly: "It's really good. What is this? Texas steak, right? I have to remember, I like it."
Andrew couldn't understand what Xinghe said, but he looked at Xinghe eating with such amazing looks, which made him feel very happy.
Xinghe finished eating, then she raised her head and said seriously to Andrew: "Is there more?"
What a shame!
Gao Yuan touched Xinghe with his leg from below, and Xinghe immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
This time Andrew could understand because Xinghe spoke in English.
"Well, we arranged pizza, pizza, delicious Italian pizza."
After finishing speaking with a smile on his face, Andrew turned back and said: "Bring this lady a pizza."
The steak was definitely not enough, so pizza was prepared to top it off. After Andrew finished speaking, a man wearing a chef's hat came into the room with a sealed plate. Then he stood in front of the microwave oven next to the restaurant and tore off the plastic bag.
Open it and put a frozen pizza into the microwave.
Gao Yuan looked at the microwave, because he was surprised that there was frozen pizza in this base. As for the power supply, he found out about it when he used medical equipment last night.
Seeing Gao Yuan's surprised expression, Andrew smiled faintly.
With a ding sound, the chef opened the microwave, brought over a large pizza, and placed it on the dining table.
Andrew smiled and said: "That's a microwave."
Although Gao Yuan's English is not very good and he doesn't understand the word microwave, he can probably understand it based on the context.
"Have you never seen it? A microwave oven is very fast and convenient. It only takes a few minutes and it will heat up with a ding."
Gao Yuan could not believe that there were such ignorant people in the world, but Andrew pointed to the pizza and said: "This is pizza, very delicious. Process it and freeze it, and then put it in that box..."
Andrew turned back and pointed at the microwave oven and said with a smile: "It only takes three minutes and it will be ready. Isn't it amazing?"
Andrew said that Li Yang just translated. It could be seen that Li Yang was helpless when translating, while Gao Yuan was helpless and sincerely angry.
So Gao Yuan looked at Li Yang in great surprise and said: "I'm Ciao! Isn't it? Tell me this? Haven't they ever used a microwave oven? Otherwise, is it worth showing off to me? Isn't it? The United States doesn't even have a microwave oven?"
After finishing speaking, Gao Yuan said to the people at the next table in a very surprised tone: "Oh my god, did you see it? Americans actually use microwave ovens as their treasures. Oh my god, they treated us with frozen pizza."
I won’t say anything else, they even treasure the microwave oven, this idiot makes me laugh to death.”
Pan Xin and the others laughed together, implicitly and politely, and then looked at Andrew tenderly with eyes that were concerned about the mentally retarded.
A person next to Andrew whispered something quickly. Gao Yuan seemed to have just discovered that there was a translator next to Andrew, so he immediately turned around, coughed twice, and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you could understand. I
I thought you didn’t understand, uh, I’m sorry, I couldn’t hold it back for a moment.”
Andrew looked surprised, then he waved his hands to Gao Yuan repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, that's not the case. We have a microwave oven. We had a microwave oven a long time ago, didn't you? You probably haven't seen it before.
"
The translator had a look on his face that he couldn't bear to say, but Andrew still looked stunned. He looked really innocent, so Gao Yuan chose to believe that he was not provoking, but just really ignorant.
Andrew turned around and pointed at the microwave oven with both hands, and then he said with a hint of fear: "I don't think microwave ovens are rare. In fact, microwave ovens were invented in the United States. I just... I just thought you hadn't seen them before."
Gao Yuan coughed twice and said: "Well, that microwave oven is produced in our country, and almost all home appliances are produced by us, so I thought you didn't recognize it. I'm sorry, it seems that we both have some misunderstandings..."
At this moment, Gao Yuan heard someone roaring from behind: "Fake oil! Bichi! Watch your words, do you want to be beaten?"
