Chapter 354 Konjac Tofu Stew
But before he could take two steps, the battalion commander hurriedly ran down from the watchtower, "Meng Chuan, it's almost noon, and the meal hasn't been cooked yet, so it's a bit bad now." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Meng Chuan raised his hand and looked at the time, there was almost an hour before the meal, although the time was a little tight, but the time for cooking urgently was still enough.
Wartime cooking is not the same as normal cooking, there is no hard and fast rule that every meal should be four dishes and one soup, but the only thing that must be ensured, that is, the soldiers must be fed.
In this way, as long as one dish can be guaranteed, Meng Chuan looked at the ingredients, the ingredients sent this time are konjac tofu, this is a delicious dish, the konjac tofu stew in the big pot of rice is a must.
This dish is easy to make, even simpler than potato roast beef and pork cabbage stewed vermicelli, especially suitable for novices.
Because konjac tofu is a stewable ingredient, and the meat is also pork belly, don't worry about stewing for a long time, the meat will become hard, and it will not be like cabbage vermicelli, stewed for a long time, it will be sac, so it is very convenient to make.
Since this is the case, then it is good to eat konjac tofu stew at noon, at this time, the battalion commander must listen to Meng Chuan, as long as the soldiers can eat well, they can do anything.
The big pot of rice pays attention to the taste and quantity, and it will be delicious, so this seasoning thing will be handed over to Meng Chuan to do, as for cutting konjac tofu, as well as the work of cutting meat, they still have to do it.
The battalion commander has nothing to say about such an arrangement, after all, Meng Chuan is managing himself, and he is not here to help the cook, and it is already very good to be able to help him cook every day, so he has always been grateful to Meng Chuan, and did not let the soldiers of the army cause trouble to Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan was holding the spice bowl and putting the seasoning in it, so Major Fan walked over alone and found Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan watched Major Fan come over alone, and was a little puzzled, what about Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu, they should follow Major Fan in the warehouse.
Major Fan is also very helpless now, although it is relatively easy to take Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu to the warehouse to learn and tidy up these days, but Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu's minds are not on studying at all, every time they go to an area, Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu pounce on it, open the box, and study the food inside.
Because the matter of studying food was tacitly approved by the military commander, and he came to bring them by himself, there were also certain factors in it, so Major Fan couldn't stop it.
But this greatly delayed the study work, there were a lot of materials in a warehouse, and it took a day of tension to barely finish learning, but Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu's speed was too slow, it was a day and a half, and even half of the materials were not recognized.
Meng Chuan also knew Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu's thoughts, since he came down with a topic, he must focus on the topic, but now we are assigned here by the chief to manage the work, so we must first complete the task arranged by the chief, and we can't be too embarrassed by Major Fan.
So he said: "Major Fan, you see that we are also at dinner, in this way, you can rest here for a while, and when it is time to eat at noon, I will talk to Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu, and promise to let them study hard and not cause you trouble." ”
Major Fan saw that Meng Chuan was quite good at being a person, and hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not troublesome, but we do have to have snacks to sort out the material work, you see that the soldiers of this battalion have been sitting in the camp for a few days and haven't worked, we don't know when the exercise will end, if it ends early, and the work we should do has not been completed, then there will be some busyness in the future." ”
Meng Chuan nodded, "Yes, Major Fan is right, I must tell the two of them at noon, in this way, you drink saliva first, sit and rest, and when the meal is good, I will be the first to serve it to you." ”
"Okay, you can get busy first."
After Major Fan found a seat and sat down, he looked at it casually, and when he saw that Meng Chuan had a good relationship with the people in this battalion, he also admired Meng Chuan, and he just blew up the camp with his front foot, which made his family have no chance with the excellent troops this year, and he couldn't wait to kill him one by two. On the back foot, he immediately fought with the chief officer, and managed the soldiers of a battalion impressively, and he was born to be a manager.
Meng Chuan didn't expect Major Fan to think like this, Meng Chuan's mind was very simple, that is, I treated you with sincerity, and you will definitely treat me with sincerity. The soldiers in the army are simple, if you are good to me, I will definitely be good to you.
Most of the commanders of the grassroots troops are also like this, if you are good to my soldiers, that is good to me, so no matter what grievances and grievances there are in front, you can put them aside, after all, each is his master, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.
The battalion commander quickly put the konjac tofu and pork belly slices in the pot and stewed them for half an hour, but because there was no seasoning, they didn't look colorless at all, and they didn't have an appetite at all.
Meng Chuan looked at it, the ingredients were almost cooked, so he poured all the sauce in the prepared sauce bowl into it, and there were no special ingredients in the sauce, just some soy sauce vinegar, some bean paste, dried chili, ginger and garlic cloves, and some salt, and finally added some water starch.
The reason why water starch is added is to make konjac tofu taste smoother and make the pork belly taste smoother, which is really good.
As soon as the seasoning is added and stirred well, the color and fragrance come out directly, and the battalion commander is used to Meng Chuan's magical cooking skills, so he is not surprised.
But this startled Major Fan, who was watching from the side, and Major Fan always thought that Meng Chuan was supervising them, until Meng Chuan picked up the seasoning basin and realized that Meng Chuan would not cook.
How many graduate students can cook? In the eyes of Major Fan, these scholars don't talk about professional knowledge, but when it comes to some common sense of life, they are definitely not as good as being soldiers, which can be seen from Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu, who follow people to learn, but study things by themselves, which is a little unreliable.
The food is good or bad, but it is directly related to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, if it is not delicious, and the soldiers do not eat well, then it will be a bit troublesome.
So I immediately stood up and looked at Meng Chuan, but with the addition of Meng Chuan's pot of sauce, the fragrance came directly to my face, which is also amazing, how could it be so fragrant.
Major Fan immediately walked to the side of the cauldron, and as soon as he walked in, the fragrance of a large pot of konjac tofu stew came to his face, and Major Fan was hungry directly when he smelled the fragrance, and the more he smelled, the more hungry he was, the more he wanted to smell, and the saliva was about to flow out for a while, and after smelling for a while, Major Fan was really hungry, and then looked at Meng Chuan, "Xiao Meng, when will your meal be ready, I'm a little hungry." ”
Meng Chuan looked at Major Fan's nose and almost sniffed the pot, and said with a smile: "Major Fan, the rice will be ready soon, wait for two minutes, I will serve you a bowl, you taste it first." ”
Major Fan hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, then trouble Xiao Meng." ”
