Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 673 Military Canteen (2)

Looking at those slices of fat, Liu Jingxue felt a little tingling on her scalp. They were so greasy that she couldn't eat them.

But in this era, fat is a good thing, and this little soldier probably wants to give her all the good things.

If she refuses, will it make people sad?

And the spoon is so big that I’m afraid that once the rice bowl is filled with it, there won’t be enough room for other dishes.

“Comrade, this is a bit too much.

There are so many different dishes here, I want to try a few more and taste more of my comrades’ cooking skills.

If you take this spoonful, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat other dishes.” Liu Jingxue explained.

The young soldier scratched his head in embarrassment, "We soldiers all have big appetites, I forgot you are a female comrade."

After saying that, he shook the spoon and poured half of the vegetables in. Seeing two pieces of fat meat fall off, he stretched out the spoon again, intending to get the fat meat back.

Liu Jingxue quickly stopped him, "Comrade, that's not necessary, what's in the spoon is enough.

We have to save some for the comrades behind us."

Upon hearing this, the soldier looked at the people queuing behind him with disdain in his eyes, "What kind of meat are these grown men eating? You are all as strong as bulls.

Comrade, you are too thin, you need to eat more."

Those who were despised glared at the soldiers, but when they saw Liu Jingxue in front of them, they quickly looked away and dared not act rashly.

Although the boy's words were unpleasant to the ear, this girl is indeed too thin and needs to be nourished.

Men like them can't compete with a pretty girl for a piece of meat.

Liu Jingxue laughed, "Comrade, it's really not necessary.

I also want the mushroom next to it. Can you help me pick that vegetable?"

Seeing that Liu Jingxue insisted, the soldier poured half a spoonful of braised potatoes into her bowl and then went to help her scoop mushrooms.

After Liu Jingxue found the food, she walked to Liu Jianjun who was waiting for her on the side. Her rice bowl was full.

Liu Jingxue had originally intended to just fill her stomach a little and then cook for herself, but without leaving any leftovers, she suspected she would end up overeating.

Although her appetite is bigger than the average girl, it is not to this extent.

This was caused even though she repeatedly asked the soldiers to reduce the amount of exercise.

The soldiers were too enthusiastic and she could hardly bear it.

Liu Jingxue said to Liu Jianjun with a bitter face, "Second brother, I can't finish all the food. You have to share some for me."

Liu Jianjun had already seen what happened just now, and he found it a little funny.

They all acted as if they had never seen a woman in their entire lives. The female military families or people from the art troupe who had come here before had never seen them like this.

In this world, appearance is still everything. People with good looks are more popular wherever they go.

"Go find a seat and sit down first. I'll get a rice bowl. You can divide the leftovers among them and I'll eat later," said Liu Jianjun.

Liu Jingxue quickly thanked him, "Thank you, second brother."

After they sat down, Liu Jianjun ran to get a clean rice bowl, and Liu Jingxue divided out some of the food.

Liu Jingxue originally thought that this dish without much oil or water would not be very delicious, but she did not expect that after a few bites, it tasted quite good.

It seems that the chef is really talented, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make the dish without oil so delicious.

Liu Jingxue knows her own business. This guy’s cooking skills are far better than hers.

She is not very good at cooking, and when others praise her for her delicious cooking, it is actually just because she is willing to use more oil and the raw materials are produced in the space.

If under the same conditions, compared with the cooks in the kitchen, what she would cook would probably be pig food.

"Second brother, the chefs in your cafeteria are really good," Liu Jingxue praised.

“You’ve got a good point.

I have eaten in many military canteens, and the food here is indeed the best."

At this time, a voice came, "Wow, it's really rare to hear Captain Liu praise our kitchen team."

Hearing the voice, Liu Jianjun and Liu Jingxue both looked in the direction where the voice came from.

After seeing who was coming, Liu Jianjun quickly put down his chopsticks, stood up, and saluted, "Hello, old squad leader."

The visitor pressed his hand down and said, "Just eat, why are you going through all the formalities?"

Sit down and eat your meal."

Seeing that Liu Jianjun had stood up, Liu Jingxue naturally felt uncomfortable sitting still. She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and stood up as well.

Liu Jianjun hurriedly introduced Liu Jingxue, "Xiaoxue, this is the old squad leader of the kitchen squad.

The meals you just praised were all prepared by him and his people.

He is a veteran of our army with excellent military qualities. Later, he was injured and could not continue to stay on the front line, so he went to the kitchen team.

His cooking skills are also top-notch, and all the good chefs in the kitchen were trained by him.”

"Don't underestimate the cooks in our army. In addition to their cooking skills, they also have excellent military skills.

If the people inside were transferred to the army, they would all be top soldiers."

Liu Jingxue had heard a little about the tradition of cooks in modern times, so she did not look down on them, but admired them very much.

She quickly greeted, "Hello, old squad leader."

"Old squad leader, this is my cousin, Liu Jingxue."

"Hello, Comrade Liu." The old squad leader quickly extended his hand to shake hands with Liu Jingxue.

Liu Jingxue quickly stretched out her right hand, and the two shook hands lightly before letting go.

"Old squad leader, what brings you here for?"

"It's nothing. I heard that you've recovered from your injury and been discharged from the hospital, so I came to see you.

Originally, I had always wanted to visit you when you were in the hospital, but as you know, there was a lot of work in the kitchen and I couldn't leave.

Also, Chen came to me with something and asked me to help your special forces arrange a few tables in the evening, so I had to come and talk to you about it."

Liu Jianjun was stunned. What was there to talk about? Usually, the old squad leader would handle this kind of thing.

Also, he didn't believe that Chen Ruijie didn't discuss it with the old squad leader before sending the things over.

But after looking at Liu Jingxue standing beside him, Liu Jianjun realized that the old squad leader was probably coming to see her as well.

"Old squad leader, you can make the decision on this matter, I have no objection.

Anyway, I provided those things, and you know better than me what side dishes are available in the kitchen."

Just as Liu Jianjun expected, the old squad leader heard many of his men tell him in the back how beautiful the girl brought by Captain Liu of the special operations team was, as beautiful as a fairy.

He was curious, so he made up an excuse to come over and take a look. He didn't really come to ask Liu Jianjun for the menu.

Therefore, when he heard Liu Jianjun say this, he took the opportunity to back off.

“In that case, I’ll see what happens.

But you should bring people here later in the evening. At least you have to wait until most people have finished their meal.

You sent a lot of meat, but for your special team of about 20 people, the meat is the main dish and the others are side dishes.

If I give you special treatment in front of so many people, people who don't know about it will definitely cause trouble for me.

Also, I have to wait until most people have finished eating before I can free up the stove to cook for you, right?" the old squad leader reminded.

"Don't worry, old squad leader. I will bring someone here later."

"Then you guys eat. I'll leave first." After saying this, the old squad leader said hello to Liu Jingxue again and left.

The old squad leader led his men back to the kitchen, and one soldier said, "Old squad leader, I didn't lie to you, did I? That girl is really pretty."

"You have a good eye this time, this girl is really good-looking.

More importantly, she is generous, has a positive look, is heroic, and is a good girl."

Looking at the soldiers around him with smiles on their faces, the old squad leader said disdainfully,

"Stop imagining that. It's a shame for such a good girl to be paired with you.

Don't just stand there, get to work.

If you don't criticize and scold people every day, you will feel itchy all over, right? "
