"Stand aside to get familiar with each other. Don't stand here in the way. It's time to have lunch and I'm busy. Damn it, that naughty fat man likes to stuff rubbish into my place..." Little Fatty Jin cursed.
He stretched out his greasy hand, pulled Zhao Yuan aside, then picked up a basket of radishes cut into large pieces on the ground, poured them into the boiling water, and then picked up a huge handful.
iron spatula stirring in the pot.
Seeing the sweat on Little Fatty Jin's forehead falling into the pot, Zhao Yuan felt nauseated. He had just eaten some pickles. Judging from this, there was probably a lot of sweat in the pickles...
…
Zhao Yuan was bored and wandering around in the huge kitchen.
Everyone in the kitchen was very busy, and no one paid any attention to Zhao Yuan.
Is this how he was assigned to the kitchen?
Zhao Yuan could only smile bitterly.
Zhao Yuan came here to practice "war", not to learn how to make a big pot of rice.
However, looking at the situation, the assignment in this kitchen is already a done deal. If you want to transfer him, you will have to find a way later.
We have to find an opportunity to inform the three shareholders of Liaoyuan Trading Company and let them organize their activities. It is best to transfer him to Heishui City as a border guard to facilitate access to the grassland.
I can only muddle along for the time being...
"Zhao Yuan!" While Zhao Yuan was thinking wildly, a voice sounded in the kitchen, as if he was roaring with his throat open, and it was extremely harsh.
"Here!" Zhao Yuan shuddered and quickly ran towards Fatty Jin.
"It's time to eat, get ready!"
"Yes, yes..."
Zhao Yuan imitated Little Fatty Jin, observed the chefs around him, and followed their methods to place the large pots of dishes.
Just as preparations were finished in the kitchen, groups of soldiers wearing armor and dark faces walked into the cafeteria.
Looking at the solemn faces and neat formations, Zhao Yuan's heart beat wildly.
Only after entering the barracks, Zhao Yuan was extremely disappointed with the soldiers of the Qin Empire. But now, the contempt in his heart was instantly overturned. These are the real soldiers of the Qin Empire...
Hundreds of soldiers came in to eat one after another, but there was no sound at all. You could hear a needle drop in the huge canteen, and only the slight collision of tableware was heard.
Looking at the straight bodies sitting there like soldiers like mountains, Zhao Yuan felt suffocated for a while.
"Boy, is this your first time entering the military camp?" Looking at Zhao Yuan's solemn expression, Jin Erpang mocked.
"Yes, Uncle Jin."
"It's nothing. You'll get used to it over time. If you go to Canteen No. 1, I'm sure you'll be so scared that you wet your pants."
"Canteen No. 1..."
"Silly boy, you don't think Jiudaowan Barracks only has a canteen!" Little Fatty Jin laughed, with a wretched look on his face.
"..."
"There are fifty canteens like ours in Jiudaowan. Our canteen is No. 38."
"oh."
"Okay, you will know later. If you are hungry, just find something to eat."
"Thank you, Uncle Jin."
"Thank you, you think I am as clever as Fatty Han and can make a lot of money. I will be more agile in the future. Although there is no benefit here, I can still eat well. I guarantee that you will be fine in a few months."
Become a glorious fat man."
"..."
Zhao Yuan raised his eyes and looked around, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Sure enough, most of the people in this kitchen were fat people with big heads and big ears.
Hey!
There is one who is not fat.
Zhao Yuan immediately spotted a young man busy at the stove. The young man was so thin that he stood out among the crowd of fat men in the kitchen.
Almost immediately, Zhao Yuan concluded that the young man should also be a newcomer, because his movements seemed very unfamiliar, and most importantly, the expression on his face showed a timid look, which was different from those in the kitchen who had rough faces.
The chef is very different.
At this time, the chefs were drinking wine around a large pot. The inside of the big pot was steaming with steam and the aroma was overflowing. They were holding bowls of wine and their faces were red.
Zhao Yuan picked up a pot and pretended to be passing by to take a look, only to see that there were large chunks of shiny braised pork in the pot.
No wonder everyone is fat. It would be strange not to gain weight after eating such a small dish.
Zhao Yuan randomly put some vegetables in those big basins and walked to the young man. At this time, the young man was also holding a basin and squatting in the corner to eat.
"Zhao Yuan." Zhao Yuan squatted next to the young man and said with a smile.
"...Tang Han." The young man hesitated.
"How long have you been here?"
"Three months." Tang Han glanced at the chefs.
"I just came today."
"I know."
Tang Han didn't seem to be good at talking, so he always answered Zhao Yuan's questions, and the two chatted casually.
After a while, the group of chefs finished eating, exchanged a few words, and left Zhao Yuan, Tang Han, and a few handymen to clean up the kitchen. After the chefs left, several handymen complained and yelled at Zhao
Yuan and Tang Han ran away separately.
"How about... you go and have a rest." Tang Han glanced at Zhao Yuan.
"Let's go together, you teach me." Zhao Yuan glanced at the empty kitchen and could only smile bitterly. Since he was hunted down, he had seen a lot of the weak and the strong, but he did not expect that in this barracks canteen
, is actually such a naked predatory of the weak.
"good."
Tang Han nodded and began to tell Zhao Yuan how to deal with it.
In fact, cleaning up is not difficult. It is nothing more than dumping some uneaten leftovers together, sorting and cleaning some kitchen utensils in the kitchen, removing ashes from the stove, etc. Zhao Yuan and the others do not need to shut down the cleaning, there are dedicated people.
There were more than a dozen stoves in the kitchen, plus pots and pans, which was a lot of work. The two of them were busy until a group of chefs slowly returned to the kitchen, and then they finished the work.
Finishing a job is just the beginning of another job.
Zhao Yuan returned to busier work and started chopping and washing vegetables.
Don't underestimate cutting and washing vegetables. It's a physical job. A basket of potatoes, radishes, etc. weighs hundreds of kilograms. You have to wash them and cut them into pieces. You can imagine how much work it takes.
After dinner, a group of chefs did not leave, but helped to clean up. There is strength in numbers, and soon the kitchen was cleaned up and everyone left.
Fortunately, Fatty Jin hadn't forgotten Zhao Yuan's existence. After cleaning up, he took Zhao Yuan to a barracks, assigned a bed and left. The barracks was a huge dormitory with a stinky smell.
There are actually fifty beds in the main bunk. Judging from some greasy clothes on the bed, the people sleeping here are all chefs.
Zhao Yuan did not see Tang Han.
Zhao Yuan felt lonely.
In the next few days, Zhao Yuan finally understood what had happened.
He was not a regular soldier of the Qin Empire, but was called a reservist, mainly serving those regular soldiers.
I learned from the young chefs that the regular soldiers of the Qin Empire were treated extremely well, and it was also a supreme honor in their hometown. Therefore, many young people regarded being a soldier as their ideal. However, the soldiers of the Qin Empire were not that good.
Of course, there are only two types of people who can enter the army. The first type is those who are physically strong; the second type is those who are rich and powerful.
In addition to the above two, there is another way, which is to be a reservist, which is Zhao Yuan's current status.
After joining the reservists, the reservists will have priority when the Qin Empire recruits regular troops. Of course, it is not easy to convert from reservists to regular soldiers. It also requires two conditions at the beginning: strong body, or
It's because he has connections and background in his family, otherwise, it would be all in vain.
Obviously, Qiu Xiaochong is a rich and powerful person. After he joins the reserve force, he can easily become a regular soldier whenever the Qin Empire recruits troops. Moreover, even as a reserve soldier, he can serve in a lucrative position with foreign connections.
