Chapter 269: The Cook System and Oil

Everyone looked at the black liquid that erupted from the ground in the distance, reaching dozens of meters in the air, and opened their mouths wide in surprise, and they couldn't close their mouths for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A soldier immediately asked, "Platoon commander, what's going on?" ”

In the hearts of the soldiers, the platoon commander who graduated from the lecture hall is a learned person who knows astronomy and geography, and as long as he asks for advice, he will definitely get the answer to the questions he doesn't understand.

The platoon commander's eyes were fixed on the black blowout, frowning and silent.

Seeing that the platoon commander did not answer, a veteran non-commissioned officer thought that the platoon commander did not know, so he opened his mouth to relieve the siege and said, "I remember reading a book of [The Complete Works of Mountains and Rivers] written by Mr. Han Zhuo in the Song Dynasty. The fountain should be something like this. ”

The warrior who asked the first question wondered again, "But how can this fountain be black?" Is it true that everyone here drinks this black water? ”

The old non-commissioned officer also said, "That's right, how can this water be black." ”

In muttering to himself, the old non-commissioned officer took out his cigarette case and matches, wanting to light a cigarette for himself and relieve his tangled emotions.

However, just as he took out a match and was about to draw it, the platoon commander shouted, "Don't light a fire." ”

As he spoke, he shot out like lightning and snatched the matchbox from the old non-commissioned officer.

Everyone didn't know why, the old non-commissioned officer was holding a cigarette, standing there very embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only take out a cigarette again, handed it to the platoon commander, and said with a smile, "Platoon commander, you finally want to smoke, come and taste mine, this is the latest cigarette from the cigarette factory, with a special flavor, very good to smoke." ”

The platoon commander shook his head, pushed away the cigarette handed over by Lao Wang, and explained, "Lao Wang, don't mind, I'm not yelling at you, I seem to remember what this thing is, although I am not 100% sure, but just in case, for the sake of safety, from now on, no fire is allowed to be lit in this vicinity, and no flames are allowed to appear." ”

After the explanation, the platoon commander loudly announced this discipline to all the officers and men of the combat engineer platoon.

Although the people did not understand why, as long as the order was given and did not violate the military regulations, then it must be obeyed, and all those who wanted to smoke put away matches, fire folds, and the like.

"Platoon commander, didn't you say that after the frying, bury the pot and cook on the spot? I've been busy for most of the day, and I haven't eaten? ”

The platoon commander said very seriously, "Old Mengtou, don't light the fire, we won't eat hot rice." ”

Then he said to the soldiers who were a little disappointed, "Everyone will gnaw some marching rations first, and I will go to see if the blowout is the kind of thing I thought, if it is confirmed, when I go back, I will ask you for merit and a celebration banquet." ”

Hearing that there was a celebration banquet, the soldiers were not calm, and their eyes began to glow green.

Since its establishment, the Xuan Army has attached great importance to the cooker system, and has not only set up cooking squads, platoons, and companies in the troops at all levels, but has also set up a headquarters canteen at the headquarters to train cooks.

Later, after the infantry, artillery, engineer, cavalry, logistics and other subjects were set up in the lecture hall, a separate cooking training course was set up to provide a promotion channel for talented and persevering cooks, and the treatment of cooks was almost equal to that of junior officers.

Of course, the military is a violent institution, so although it is very important, the number of places that can be promoted from cook to cook is very rare.

These cooks are also divided into ranks, and the low-ranking ones go to the separate officers' kitchens as the first and second chefs, and in addition to cooking for the officers, they are also responsible for the meals of the sick number.

In fact, judging from the situation that Xuan Jun has been fighting outside all year round, most of the time, these chefs are cooking sick meals.

Intermediate chefs will work as cooks at the squadron and brigade level headquarters, and then take turns to work as teachers at the academy where chef subjects are studied.

Some of them with better skills will be transferred to the headquarters canteen.

The most powerful are the senior chefs, these senior chefs are very scarce, and they are only stationed in the rear, and will not go on expeditions, and there are several ships behind them that are responsible for searching for all kinds of fresh ingredients and spices.

The senior chefs take turns cooking for the General's Mansion on weekdays, and their service targets include Chen Xin, senior officers of the General Staff, and directors at all levels of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Other times, senior chefs gather to discuss and improve their skills.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for ordinary people to eat the dishes of these high-ranking chefs, and only those who have contributed to the collective and received certain medals can taste them in their entirety at the celebration banquet after the award ceremony.

According to the descriptions of all the soldiers and officers who had eaten the celebration banquet, the craftsmanship of those high-level chefs was really unforgettable, and the delicious dishes could not be expressed in words.

When asked, everyone who has eaten the celebration banquet will have that kind of evocative expression, which makes people want to taste the craftsmanship of those chefs.

Now the platoon commander actually said that if he determined what was blowing out, he would be able to make everyone present have a celebration banquet, and everyone's eyes would immediately turn green.

However, a few of the old and heavy non-commissioned officers were a little skeptical.

The dishes made by high-level chefs are delicious, but medals are rare, and those medals are all possible only after great merit.

So far, the medal system has been established for several years, and there have been many battles, and several senior chefs have been trained, but there are nearly 10,000 people in the Xuan army, and only a few dozen people can eat the celebration banquet.

Several old non-commissioned officers were skeptical of the platoon commander's statement, but they couldn't say it directly, which would hurt the officer's face too much, so they looked at each other and signaled one of them to persuade the platoon commander not to say big things in front of him.

The old non-commissioned officer, who was promoted by a few glances, did not shirk it, and said with a smile, "Platoon commander, what do you think is that?" Tell us about it. ”

The platoon commander was looking for a path at this time, and the landslide caused by the explosion had destroyed the road surface, and it was difficult to walk until the large rocks were cleared of the tumbling stones.

After listening to the questioning, the platoon commander said with a smile, "I'm not very sure, but at least eighty percent sure, you know that I have studied for a long time in a cram school run by the political commissar, where I have gained some knowledge."

The thing that is blowing out now is very similar to the oil mentioned in Mr. Shen Kuo's book [Mengxi Writings] in the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

Listening to this unfamiliar term, the old non-commissioned officer still didn't understand the reason why the platoon commander praised Haikou, so he asked rhetorically, "Oil?" ”

"That's right, oil, that's a very important thing for us, and the general has set up a number of exploration teams to explore for minerals and reserves in various places, and on the other hand, he wants to find this oil. The exploration team has been looking for three whole years. ”

"It turns out that the general wants it." The old non-commissioned officer is relieved now, as long as the platoon commander is not dizzy, then everything is easy to say, as for what the hell this oil is for, it is no longer within his consideration, anyway, what can make the general worry about it must be a good thing.
