The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 12 Cooking Class

…No matter how fierce the war is, there will always be moments of peace in between.

During these quiet moments, we are often busy with all kinds of things, some of which we feel embarrassed at the time and are really too embarrassed to face others.

But when they think back on it later, even those embarrassing things still make them smile unconsciously.

But because when these embarrassing things happened, there were those people related to them that they couldn't help but miss from time to time...

...Excerpt from Hu Biao's diary collection "Hu Shuo"...

When Hu Biao and others were about to blink and sparks flew out, the middle-aged man Gao Yi finally reacted.

He quickly reached into his trouser pocket, and when he took it out, there was a watch in his hand.

After being confused for a while, Hu Biao and others finally realized that Gao Yi's so-called method was to use this watch to bribe the assigned officer.

Not to mention! Although watches could be produced domestically during the Republic of China period, the output was very limited, and most of them were still imported.

I think the price of a watch is not cheap, at least dozens of dollars; the brand of this watch is Swiss Longines, so the price can only be much more expensive.

If you use this watch to bribe, there is a high chance of success.

The only problem is that if Hu Biao and the others were not mistaken, that Longines watch should have belonged to the former company commander.

Because the company commander treasured this watch very much, he often deliberately rolled up the sleeve of his representative arm to show off the watch.

So Gao Yi secretly pulled it off the company commander's body while cleaning the battlefield?

No wonder when the company commander was buried, his wrists were bare.

Soon after, as if they had thought of something, the expressions of Hu Biao, Wang Peng, and Zhou Kun became complicated.

Seeing this, Gao Yi thought that they looked down on his behavior of making money from the dead.

Feeling a little ashamed, he started to complain in a voice that only a few people could hear:

"What the hell! What can I do? I don't know what brought us here from the modern dimension, and we didn't bring anything with us.

Without making some money from the dead, how can you get us into the kitchen? Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

I’m not afraid to tell you, if I hadn’t had no other choice, I wouldn’t have taken out the watch. Wouldn’t it be better to keep it and sell it in the future as starting capital?

There's also a watch that people might think isn't enough. I should have gotten more."

As a result, after Gao Yi finished speaking indignantly, Hu Biao approached, took out a gold ring from his pocket and quietly handed it to him, whispering:
"One watch is definitely not enough, so throw this thing at him too."

"That's right! The land must be watered thoroughly, and gifts must be delivered to the right place at once. I have some here." Wang Peng, a PLA veteran with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also took out a few Yuan Datou coins and some loose legal tender.

Zhang Wei and Zhou Kun didn't say anything, but were silently struggling to take something out of their crotches.

Goodness! Feeling the belongings that had escaped from somewhere, still carrying body temperature and a strange smell, Gao Yi was speechless.

It turns out that these guys are all cunning. Every one of them made a fortune from the dead just like himself when they were cleaning up the battlefield.

And they have been hiding it tightly. If the situation is not urgent, they probably would not have planned to take it out.

"You bastards are all so cunning." Gao Yi cursed again.

Not long after he finished scolding, it was his turn; Gao Yi walked towards the officer and secretly stuffed a bunch of things in his hand to him. He was surprisingly skilled in his job.

Then he pointed at the four people behind him and said, "Sir, the five of us, Hu Biao, Zhou Kun, Wang Peng, and Zhang Wei, are all good at cooking."

The officer took a hidden look at what was in his hand and quickly put it away.

Without making a sound, he wrote down the names of five people, as well as some fabricated situations; the most important thing was that he arranged them to the kitchen team to help in the kitchen under Zhou Youcai.

Finally, the five of them breathed a sigh of relief when they finally decided to go to the kitchen. Then, they hurriedly walked behind their future boss and exchanged pleasantries in a flattering manner.

During this process, Gao Yi immediately took the other party's package and helped to carry it on his back; Hu Biao and Zhou Kun praised the other party, saying that he was obviously a chef with excellent cooking skills.

Wang Peng was still thinking about it when he lit the last wrinkled cigarette in his trouser pocket for the old man Zhou Youcai.

But it turned out that Zhang Wei, who was said to have run out of cigarettes, respectfully took out half a pack of Lao Dao brand cigarettes and handed it over with both hands, while saying:
"Boss, smoke..."

******
It should be said! Feng Yaozu, the new company commander of Hu Biao and his team, seems to have not only a strong backer but also a pretty good connection in the frontline command.

He was out for only an hour or two, and when he reappeared, he returned in two trucks.
When everyone was unloading the trucks, they found that the two trucks were filled with not only hundreds of brand new military uniforms and shoes, but also a lot of weapons and ammunition.

Unfortunately, most of the weapons were Hanyang rifles, and there were only a few finalized Zhongzheng rifles; not to mention, it was said that only the General Training Corps was qualified to equip the original German K98 rifles.

In addition, there were two Czech light machine guns and one Maxim heavy machine gun, and there were not too many bullets.

Fortunately, everyone worked together to unload the equipment, and Feng Yaozu led his men to distribute military uniforms, shoes and weapons. All the people in the special forces company changed into brand new uniforms and had proper weapons.

At the first moment, the squad and platoon leaders led their unfamiliar subordinates to start training at the temporary base.

The content is mainly simple queue training, and mainly firing a few bullets with the weapons you just received.

For a moment, the temporary base of the special forces company was filled with loud gunshots.

It should be noted that Hu Biao, Zhou Kun, Wang Peng, Zhang Wei, Gao Yi and other five unlucky guys from the modern plane did not participate in the above training.
They are now busy with more important things: cooking for everyone.

To be more specific, he had just changed out of his dirty military uniform that was covered in fleas, and he was watching the other men in the company shooting at targets with envy.

Their immediate superiors, Zhou Youcai and Old Man Zhou, looked up at the sun in the sky and began to speak in a thick Shaanxi dialect:

"Don't look at me blindly. Us firemen can only cook. We are not immune to shooting or firing cannons.

Being good at shooting is not a good thing.

In the third year of the Republic of China, I followed General Lu Jianzhang to serve in the army and eat food. Later, I was replaced by many superiors, including General Zhao and General Feng.

He has always been busy cooking and not fighting. After more than 20 years, all the people from the same village who served in the army have died. Some of them may have even lost their bones. But he is still alive and well, isn't he?

It seems that it is getting late, and the other kids in the village can’t even have lunch.

It would be better for everyone to prepare dinner early and go and shoot guns later when they have time; you kids can figure out how to divide the work in the kitchen.

I'll go get some oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Who of you will fetch a few buckets of water? Who will chop wood for the fire, cook the rice, and wash the vegetables? Also, the stove isn't big enough, so two of you should go build a new one."

Although as a gentleman, Hu Biao and others felt a little regretful that they could not take the opportunity to fire a few shots to satisfy their desire.

However, such beautiful words as 'no need to go to the battlefield' and 'can live longer' are enough to make them forget such a small regret in their great joy.

In order to perform well, they quickly found a job that they thought they were good at or could take on and started working on it.

Among them, Hu Biao went to cook rice, Wang Peng fetched water, and Zhou Kun went to light the fire.

Gao Yi and Zhang Wei went to get some bricks, yellow mud and other materials, preparing to build an earthen stove according to the style they saw on the Internet.

In short, they don’t find the above things difficult.

However, soon after, these people from the modern plane, although they could not be said to be "lazy and ignorant", still encountered some unexpected troubles...
