Chapter 1108: Flattered Chen Sanxi
Chapter 1108: Flattered Chen Sanxi
"This lunch box today tastes really good."
"Especially the lion head one, it's absolutely amazing."
"This braised pork is also good. It's fat but not greasy, and the color is rosy. I'll add some rice later."
At noon, in the lounge behind the viewing platform, Wei Shanhe was having lunch with Qin Feng and others.
It was obviously just an ordinary meal, but it was so delicious that everyone praised it highly.
Lu Chong standing next to him was shaking his head, looking extremely proud.
"Not only does our brigade have excellent work style and the ability to win battles, but the quality of our cooks is also absolutely top-notch."
"This meal today should be prepared by Xiao Chen from your company cafeteria, right?"
"Hey, did you eat it?"
"That's right! This braised pork, I ate it once during my last study tour and I've never forgotten it. After we got back, I asked our brigade's kitchen staff to try making it, but they couldn't get it to taste this good."
Xiao Chen is Chen Sanxi.
Qin Feng knew that several dishes in this meal were cooked by Chen Sanxi.
I also feel that with his cooking skills, even if he retires from the army, he will definitely be able to open a small restaurant and it will be very successful.
After all, his parents are from the countryside and cook banquets for others. Opening a restaurant can be seen as the son inheriting his father's business and creating another glory.
Speaking of Chen Sanxi, Wei Shanhe pointed at his secretary with his chopsticks and said, "Didn't I tell you to call him over earlier? Why hasn't he come yet?"
The secretary was embarrassed: "When I got there, Team Leader Chen was cooking. I just waited for a while, and he should be here soon."
As they were talking, a series of footsteps were heard outside, and soon the fat boy Chen Sanxi, with sweat all over his forehead, appeared in front of everyone wearing an apron.
Looking at the boy's out-of-place body shape and chubby little face, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Chen Sanxi." Lu Chong spoke first, but kept a deliberately stern face. "Did you cook this meal? Why doesn't it look right?"
"Commander, some of the dishes were cooked by me, and some were cooked by others. Are they not to your taste?"
In front of many leaders, Chen Sanxi still looks honest.
But it was obvious that he was very confident in the food he cooked, so he was not scared by the brigade commander.
Wei Shanhe laughed heartily: "It's not that it doesn't suit my taste, it's too suit my taste. I ate three of these braised lion's heads by myself."
"By the way, have you gained weight again?"
Chen Sanxi scratched his head embarrassedly.
During this period, I was so busy making new dishes that I became a little slack in training.
Cooks are also divided into different types, and some cooks in field troops have to go out for training.
They are exposed to the wind and sun every day and have to strengthen their military skills. Naturally, they are very strong. Their military quality is even higher than that of some soldiers in combat squads.
People like Chen Sanxi, who cook for the canteen of the brigade headquarters, usually come into contact with civilian cadres, so naturally they don't have that much training.
A similar situation is the cooking squad of the Air Force Ground Crew Company, which is also the prototype of the TV series "The Story of the Cooking Squad".
Such purely logistical support units have relatively little training and most of the time they just cook and do nothing else.
Wei Shanhe joked, "Xiao Chen, you really should lose some weight, or you'll have three highs before you even turn thirty."
"Besides, cooks are soldiers too. If you run a few steps like this, you'll be out of breath. If the enemy breaks in, what will you have to fight with?"
Chen Sanxi responded awkwardly, saying that he would definitely lose weight and exercise more.
Of course, Wei Shanhe was just saying this casually. If Chen Sanxi really focused on training, the soldiers would lose a lot of delicious food.
In other words, Chen Sanxi sacrificed himself for the benefit of everyone, which is a disguised form of selflessness.
Chen Sanxi asked, "Commander, did you ask me to come here? Do you have any instructions?"
Wei Shanhe looked at Qin Feng and signaled him to speak.
Qin Feng: "Two things. First, thank you for your hard work in cooking. After the competition, the soldiers can eat delicious meals, which will give them more energy to fight hard on the field."
"As the squad leader, you have made an invaluable contribution to this, so we have decided to award you, the kitchen team, a collective commendation after the competition."
Chen Sanxi was so happy. He just completed his job and got a collective commendation?
Moreover, this was his good brother who had come out of the recruit company together. The reward given by his brother Feng was even more extraordinary.
Imagine that your good brother suddenly becomes a corporate executive one day, and keeps speaking well of you in the board of directors and trying to get rewards for you.
If Chen Sanxi heard such a good thing, he would probably wake up laughing even in his dreams.
Chen Sanxi smiled shyly: "Well, I'm so sorry. Actually, we just do what we should do. Even if there is no reward, we will still do it..."
Qin Feng: "Then you won't give it to me?"
Chen Sanxi's eyes widened: "Huh??"
Qin Feng: "Don't be modest in the future. Don't be blindly modest."
“Pfft….hahahahahaha!”
In the lounge, a group of leaders burst out laughing.
Qin Feng is so mean. He is honest by nature, and you still tease him.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. You deserve the praise and rewards. The second thing is what everyone is more interested in."
"Number 226, that new recruit named Bao Peng, is he your soldier?"
When Chen Sanxi heard this, he knew that Qin Feng was trying to give him another chance to perform, and he immediately admitted it.
"Yes!"
"Although Bao Peng is a cook, he has always wanted to fight. In addition to completing his duties, he trains hard and never slacks off, so I brought him to sign up!"
Upon hearing this, the leaders of other units all showed surprised expressions.
Although this soldier's performance was not particularly outstanding, he showed tenacity in several events.
It would be a bit of a waste of talent for a soldier like this to be placed in the kitchen squad, but when he heard that this guy was also a pastry chef, he immediately became interested.
The thing that is most in demand in the army is pastry chefs, but there are indeed not many pastry chefs who can make Western pastry.
The more scarce something is, the more popular it is. Occasionally having some foreign food for breakfast can change your taste.
This immediately perked up Qiu Guohai's thoughts: "Chen Sanxi, why don't we let this soldier come to reinforce our regiment later?"
"We just need someone who can cook and wants to fight."
Other leaders were not to be outdone and extended olive branches one after another.
What made him come here? It was to get a set of Western pastry machines. Some even said that he would be the team leader right after he came.
This made Lu Chong very angry. He slammed the table and shouted, "You are still thinking about my soldiers. Have you asked me?"
For a moment, Chen Sanxi was happy for Bao Peng, but he didn't know what to do.
I am happy because being able to get in front of so many leaders at once is definitely a good thing for my future development.
He has the most say in this regard because he has worked his way up step by step this way.
I didn't know what to do because although the leaders were enthusiastic, it was obviously best for me to develop within the brigade.
The 33rd Combined Brigade is the army's ace force, and its treatment in all aspects is much better than that of any reinforced regiment or field brigade.
Just when Chen Sanxi didn't know how to politely refuse, Qin Feng spoke up: "How about this, let him go to the guard company directly under the military?"
"I can cook for the leaders in the military headquarters and learn and strengthen my military skills?"
