Chapter 1196: The Kitchen
"You kid be content, since you came to Guangdong, this is the daily food of our soldiers, don't think of yourself as an uncle!" Liao Jundong is not used to Liao Fan's temper.
At present, the country's supplies are supporting the operation in the northeast, and the funds of several other military regions have also had to be cut. Even a well-regarded navy has not escaped.
Although I can still get regular supplements with vegetables and meat, it is significantly less than in the past. The country's production capacity is limited, especially after winter, and there are only a limited number of places that can supply the country with vegetables.
It seems that the problem of food and clothing has been solved in many places, but in fact, in many places, a family may not be able to eat the last meat for half a year, and the vegetables are basically just rotten vegetable leaves.
Troops like the Navy that are close to the sea are okay and can be self-sufficient, at least there will be no shortage of protein food, after all, by the sea.
The food problem is still a big problem facing the whole country, and if the commander-in-chief of the whole army like Liao Fan wants to eat a roasted sweet potato at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.
"How can I, the commander-in-chief of the whole army, feel that I am not as good as an ordinary person, doing the most tiring work, and I can't eat something good!"
As long as there is war, food is always the most precious thing. War not only consumes a large amount of materials, but also consumes a large amount of labor, and if no one is engaged in production, there will definitely be a shortage of supply of many things.
"Gotta get it, look at the one who wronged you like a little daughter-in-law, can I really wronged you when I come here?"
Although the basic food cannot satisfy Liao Fan, Guangdong is located at the southern end after all, unlike the cold wind in the northeast, when all outdoor production is gone.
Guangdong is harvested all year round, and all kinds of fruits are fresh all year round.
"Brother Fan, this is what we bought from the fruit farmers, there is no shortage of fruits in Guangdong all year round, you can taste it!"
As soon as Liao Jundong's words fell, Gongyong came up with a plate of fruits.
"Well, take out all the dried plum vegetables we dried, don't hide them, he can't eat much alone."
"Yes, it seems that you treat me as if I came to eat mixed rice, hey~ My brother treats my brother like this, I still came with a big gift, but I didn't expect it to be a mixed meal." Liao Fan unceremoniously took a banana from the table.
"Hurry up and eat, when are you polite to me! Eat a full meal and rest quickly, the room is ready for you. ”
The two brothers think when they don't meet, and they dislike each other when they meet. And the two brothers are no longer ordinary people at the beginning, their every move has to be watched by the whole country, and they are responsible for many things.
Liao Fan did feel tired when he came back from the magnesium country this time, and this trip made him feel the gap between them and the magnesium country, which is not something that can be caught up by the efforts of a generation.
When he came to Liao Jundong, Liao Fan didn't have to hold it in front of many people, and he was not afraid of losing face in front of Liao Jundong. On the contrary, he was very relaxed with Liao Jundong.
Lying on the rocking chair, Liao Fan held an orange in his hand, listening to Liao Jundong's nagging, he gradually fell asleep. The noisy environment at sea made Liao Fan never sleep peacefully.
In Liao Jundong's small courtyard, although there is no bird song and flowers, it makes Liao Fan feel at ease.
"Hey~ I said I was here to eat, but as a result, I fell asleep!" Liao Jundong picked up the military blanket and covered it with Liao Fan.
The two met for no more than half an hour, and in this half hour, Liao Jundong knew that there would be such a result.
"Commander, do you want to prepare food?" Liao Jundong's orderly asked.
"Be ready, he might be hungry when he wakes up! You are staring here, I will arrange those magnesium people, after all, they are guests from afar, and I still have to come forward for some things. ”
Liao Jundong is not so easy here, although the construction of the navy is in full swing, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. There are no ships, there are no complete ports, there are no ports that are readily available, and some things can only be put aside.
Nowadays, the navy in Guangdong is more formal, how to calculate the formality, in fact, in the navy, the number of the former army accounts for eighty percent, and the number of naval personnel accounts for less than two percent.
The navy's defense of the sea does not rely on ships, but on shore-based artillery, and this is the current navy, which has ships and ships that are not enough to fight a naval battle.
Fortunately, they have submarines from Germany, and at least the soldiers can get regular training, and they are no longer a group of novices, let alone seasickness after going to sea.
Those who are familiar with the situation know that their naval construction is difficult, and there may be strong opportunities in the future, but now this step is a huge difficulty.
The small courtyard was quiet in the afterglow of the setting sun, with the occasional few guards passing by. Two sparrows flew in from a distance and landed on the pergola in the yard, chirping and playing.
Liao Fan stretched his waist, a little in a trance, as if he still thought that he had not come back in the magnesium country.
The two giggling sparrows quickly attracted Liao Fan's attention, and they just looked at them quietly, not thinking about anything.
"Brother Fan, you're awake!"
The two sparrows were frightened and flew away, Liao Fan rubbed his eyelids with his hands, and carefully saw that the person who spoke was Gongyong.
"Well, where's my brother?"
"The commander has gone to arrange those magnesium people, let me stay and take care of you before leaving!"
"You've got a lot of tan!" Liao Fan paused.
"It's hard to stay on the beach every day without getting tanned, and we will run wherever the commander goes!"
"I've worked hard for you too, I know everything about the navy......"
Liao Fan naturally knew the hard work of building the navy, he just didn't want to think about it, if he thought that Liao Jundong was running around 24 hours a day, he would have trouble sleeping. I have worries in my heart, how can I do other things?
"Brother Fan, you told us before that we are all soldiers, the country is in turmoil, and the life of those of us who are soldiers is a sin!"
"Hahaha, in fact, I am too strict with you, and there are some things that I can't do myself." Liao Fan is not a saint either.
"In fact, since the moment I joined the army, my family has treated me as a dead man, and it is also my luck to be able to live to see the stability of the country!"
They have seen too many dead people along the way, and the soldiers who have been on the battlefield can live to see the victory of the war, and it is indeed God's special care.
"Yes, we're all lucky, at least alive, our brothers!" Liao Fan let out a long sigh.
Every time I look back on these things, I can easily touch the most painful part of Liao Fan's heart. Thousands of miles of mountains turned into graves, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are dry bones.
"Brother Fan, if you are hungry, please take care of yourself, the commander may not be able to come back to accompany you tonight if he is busy!"
Liao Jundong said that he would be busy when he was busy, and as long as he was busy, he would forget the time and couldn't take care of Liao Fan.
"It's good that you're busy, you don't have to stay here with me!"
Liao Fan also knew that Gongyong was his brother's personal guard, if it weren't for Liao Fan coming, it was estimated that Gongyong was still by Liao Jundong's side.
There were also other personnel in the courtyard, all of whom were from the army, and Liao Jundong was worried that they would not be able to take care of Liao Fan. On the contrary, Gongyong had been in Taihang Mountain before, and he was also familiar with Liao Fan, and he was not restrained in doing many things.
Of course, Liao Fan doesn't need to be taken care of, and this small courtyard can be regarded as a home for their brothers.
Everything in the small courtyard is good, except for the lack of a hostess, which is also something that Liao Fan has always worried about Liao Jundong. The matter of naval construction is busy in the dark, how can I have time to find a sister-in-law for Liao Fan.
When he was bored at home, Liao Fan also took the initiative to help the cook, the cook is from Shandong, and he makes good Lu cuisine.
"Brother Fan, you better go out and wait, you see that my fire is burning here, not a place where you should stay."
"Don't bully me for not being able to cook, I'm here to give you a hand, you can do what you want, I'm also idle and bored, just find someone to chat."
Liao Jundong was not at home, and he searched the whole courtyard, and there was nothing else to entertain except books and plans about the basic navy.
The guards were on patrol, and the public servants had also gone out, and the plants in the yard were almost hairy to him. The only person who could talk to him now was the chef in the kitchen.
"Okay, Brother Fan, you can watch it if you want!"
"How many people do you usually eat here?"
"We eat with the guards, if other people visit, there may be more than a hundred people, when there are few, the guards and us, as for the commander's time to eat, it is all opened alone."
The daily task of the guards is to patrol and take care of this small courtyard, and the natural life is also more regular, and the time of day to eat is regular and quantitative.
But Liao Jundong is different, when he is busy, he may not be able to come back late at night, and the meal is naturally not on time.
"People are iron and rice are steel, and you chefs are the logistics of this courtyard!"
"We don't have that much ability, we all rely on Commander Liao to take care of it, if Commander Liao doesn't come back at ten o'clock in the evening, we don't have to cook anymore, this is the rule that Commander Liao set for us."
Liao Jundong also knew that sometimes he rushed back from outside in the early hours of the morning, and even sometimes he simply slept in the barracks, and he couldn't always let them prepare food for him all the time.
"Did you all come straight from the army?"
"Yes, we were both soldiers in Guangdong, and when Mr. Jiang recruited two cooks when he chose a place for the commander, the commander felt that it was not very reliable to find someone from outside, after all, there may be a lot of military secrets involved here, so he asked for someone directly from Commander Gui."
The five soldiers in the kitchen are all Gui Yongqing's subordinates, these five people used to be in Gui Yongqing's military cooking class, and later Liao Fan wanted to streamline the troops, Gui Yongqing's military cooking class streamlined the personnel, and these five people directly became ordinary soldiers.
However, this time, Liao Jundong's residence was an important person, and he asked Gui Yongqing's important person directly, and Gui Yongqing recommended the five of them here.
