Chapter 137 Gift-giving

Uncle Liu said so, but Meng Chuan didn't plan to really let Uncle Liu finish the dishes alone, after all, Uncle Liu was just polite to himself, if he took it seriously, it would be really embarrassing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The number of people is about ten people, Section Chief Shi plus the chief of the division, as well as the squad and platoon leaders of the large and small canteens, and several sergeant majors who are calling the small canteen, one table is just enough.

Since there are only ten people, then you must not be able to cook too much, almost six dishes and one soup is enough, boiled fish is a dish, and then make a winter melon stew, dry pot cauliflower, sauce roasted chicken steak, vegetarian fried yam, hot and sour lotus root, soup try to make a warm body, after all, it is winter, and it is still very cold at night, so burn a radish and mutton soup.

After Meng Chuan told Uncle Liu the recipe, Uncle Liu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make three meat dishes, how about you make vegetarian dishes." ”

Uncle Liu didn't mean to look down on Meng Chuan, because of the problem of time, Uncle Liu's cooking experience for so many years is not in vain, and the speed of cooking meat dishes must be faster than Meng Chuan's, and Meng Chuan also knew that it was to save time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll cook vegetarian dishes." ”

There are three vegetarian dishes, dry pot cauliflower, vegetarian fried yam, hot and sour lotus root, although it is a vegetarian dish, but this dish is definitely not lost to meat dishes after it is done, among which it is best to soak it in lightly salted water before making cauliflower, which can not only sterilize, but also be more crisp when eating.

In order to ensure the crisp texture of the cauliflower, it is best to boil it in cold water after boiling it, so that it will be very delicious after blanching.

The method of yam is very simple, that is, it must be fried, and the speed must be fast, because if the yam is fried for too long, it will soften, and the taste will be really bad.

The last vegetarian dish is hot and sour lotus root, when preparing the lotus root ingredients at the beginning, be sure to soak the cut lotus root in clean water, so that the lotus root will not be oxidized and blackened.

If you want to fry crispy white lotus root, then sprinkle some water on the side of the pot when frying, and when frying lotus root, it is best to add some lard, so that the lotus root tastes really good and has a different flavor.

In less than an hour, all three vegetarian dishes were ready, but Uncle Liu was not slow, the three meat dishes had already been cooked, and the remaining soup was almost stewed, Meng Chuan exclaimed: "Uncle Liu, you are doing this too fast, I just made three vegetarian dishes, and you have made three meat dishes." ”

Uncle Liu smiled: "It's nothing, because I'm familiar with the kitchen, I can take the ingredients easily, and I stew the soup first, and then stir-fry the vegetables in the process of stewing the soup, so I saved time." ”

At this time, the soldiers had also finished eating, and Section Chief Shi asked the secretary to notify the squad and platoon leader of the large canteen to come over for dinner, and after the people sat in the box, they began to serve food.

Uncle Liu's boiled fish is a big dish, and Section Chief Shi usually can't eat it, although Uncle Liu's level is much smaller than Section Chief Shi, but the qualifications of the people are here, and no one dares to force him to do anything.

The three vegetarian dishes served this time really made Section Chief Shi's eyes shine, and he was used to eating the dishes made by the canteen people, and Section Chief Shi could see at a glance that these three vegetarian dishes were not made by people from the small canteen, so he asked: "Squad Leader Liu, who made these three vegetarian dishes." ”

Uncle Liu pointed at Meng Chuan and said, "These three vegetarian dishes are made by Assistant Meng, and the level is not low, Section Chief Shi, you can taste them." ”

Section Chief Shi saw that Meng Chuan was not very old, and he could be said by squad leader Liu that his level was not low, and it seemed that he really had two hands, so he picked up the chopsticks and tasted a mouthful of hot and sour lotus root, and after swallowing it, he hurriedly tasted the dry pot cauliflower, and after eating the dry pot cauliflower, he tasted a piece of vegetarian fried yam.

Section Chief Shi slowly put down his chopsticks, gave Meng Chuan a thumbs up, and said: "Xiao Meng, no wonder the leaders above asked you to take care of the canteen, with your cooking skills, no matter how good the canteen is, it will definitely lose your talent, come, everyone come to try Meng Chuan's craftsmanship, it's really good." ”

The secretary has tried it with Meng Chuan, and naturally he has an understanding of Meng Chuan's level, so no one else has eaten these dishes so surprised, now Meng Chuan's cooking skills have been recognized by everyone, and it seems that he has to work hard to bring up his cooking skills as soon as possible.

This meal is very refreshing, especially Uncle Liu's boiled fish, which is definitely a must-order dish at every banquet.

After eating, Meng Chuan said to Section Chief Shi: "Section Chief Shi, tomorrow weekend, I want to go back to the old army to say goodbye, after all, I stayed in the military headquarters without going back after studying from the troops in difficult areas, and it is a bit bad not to say goodbye." ”

Section Chief Shi nodded and said: "It's totally okay, I will allow you to take leave, go back and say goodbye to the leader and comrades-in-arms, after all, there will be fewer opportunities to go in the future, although the distance is far away, but the feelings of comrades-in-arms cannot be far, and they are always in good contact." ”

Meng Chuan saw that Section Chief Shi was so reasonable, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Section Chief Shi." ”

The next day, Meng Chuan got up early, after washing, changed into regular clothes, and went to the dormitory of the guard regiment, first asked people where Duan You lived, and prepared to go over, Meng Chuan had not taken two steps, and heard a shout in the distance: "Lao Li, I'm here." ”

If you can call yourself an old picker, it's Duan You, Duan You is really, it's not nice to give yourself a nickname, yesterday I called myself an old pick in front of the secretary, Meng Chuan felt that the secretary looked at him wrongly, when did he deduct it.

Duan You was still wearing a training uniform, probably just returning from morning exercises, Meng Chuan asked, "Old Duan, are you still running exercises in the morning." ”

Duan You said: "Nonsense, I'm the battalion commander, I don't lead by example, then train the soldiers to the death, can the soldiers be willing." ”

"That's right, if you are tired and become a dead dog, the soldiers can't say anything even if they are tired, after all, the leaders are all together."

Duan You patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder and scolded with a smile: "You are a dead dog, go, you go to my dormitory to sit for a meeting first, I will change into regular clothes, and we will set off." ”

Duan You's Ermaoyi's regular clothes really don't have to be said, whether it is the style or texture, they far surpass Meng Chuan's captain's uniform, but both of them are in very good shape, and the officer uniforms are more handsome than the other, it is estimated that if you walk on the street, the return rate will be absolutely 100%.

Because it was a private matter, they didn't drive the car in the army, and the two of them left the barracks, took a taxi and went to the city bus station.

The headquarters of the first division was two or three hours' drive away from the military headquarters, and when he came to the station, Meng Chuan remembered that he was empty-handed, went to see the leader, and really didn't want to go without carrying something, Meng Chuan asked: "Old Duan, what kind of gift are you going to give?" ”

Duan You didn't know what to give, if he just brought some fruit and milk, it was indeed a bit light, although the gift was light, but this was also a return to his hometown, and the gift was definitely not suitable.

At this time, Meng Chuan suddenly remembered that the division leader likes to drink tea, so he said: "Old Duan, I know, the division leader likes to drink tea, why don't we send tea to the division commander." ”

Duan You nodded and said, "Okay, you send the tea, I'll buy two good cigarettes and send him the whole two bottles of wine." (To be continued.) )
