Cangyunling, Xingjia Village, New Regiment Headquarters.
Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment, was sitting cross-legged on the kang, listening to the health captain's report.
"Captain, the weather is really too cold, and the wounded are very weak. Can you improve the food, preferably some meat, to enhance nutrition and help with wound healing?" the health captain said with a sad look on his face.
"Huzi, go and call Lao Wangtou." Li Yunlong said angrily.
"Yes, captain." Li Yunlong's guard Wang Xiaohu was a very clever little soldier. He agreed and ran away.
Lao Wangtou was in his early 40s and was the division chief of the New Regiment Headquarters. As soon as he entered the room, Li Yunlong said to him: "Old Wangtou, what is the food of the health team? They eat radish, pickles and wowotou all day long."
, how can the wounded bear it?
Besides, the army is about to fight a big battle, so we should quickly think of ways to improve the food for the soldiers, so that everyone can have a meal of meat."
Li Yunlong spoke so loudly that all the soldiers in the yard stretched out their necks and pricked up their ears. They had not eaten meat for a long time and wanted to hear Lao Wangtou's answer.
Lao Wangtou said: "Captain, I have no money now. Even this corn paste and pickles can only be eaten for ten days. How can I have money to buy meat? Besides, how many people around us have money?"
In this village, all the pigs raised have been bought up long ago, and even if you have money, you can't buy meat anymore."
When the officers and soldiers heard this, they all felt very discouraged, their heads suddenly dropped, and they each went to do their own things.
Li Yunlong was not happy when he heard this. He stared at his big eyes like cowbells and said angrily: "I said Lao Wangtou, you are such a prodigal! Didn't Zhang Dabiao get back a lot of money last time? Why so quickly?
No more?"
Lao Wangtou is a veteran soldier with very senior qualifications. He changed his career to logistics just because of his injuries. He was not afraid of Captain Li and argued loudly: "Captain, please don't accuse me wrongly! You often send troops out to carry out executions."
As for the mission, every time I go out, you ask me to improve the food for them, as well as the wounded in the health team. You always ask me to improve the food and increase nutrition for them. I only have a few dollars in my hand, and I will spend it early.
It’s all gone. If I hadn’t saved my money carefully, I wouldn’t even be able to eat polenta now.”
Li Yunlong said: "I don't care, you can figure it out yourself."
Old Wangtou muttered: "Captain! What can I do? It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, so don't make it difficult for me."
Li Yunlong knew Lao Wangtou well and knew that he was a person who knew how to live a good life. He scratched his head, suddenly put on a smiling face, and said: "Old Wangtou, I know you have a way. In this way, you can find a way to do it
Get some meat and improve the food for the brothers. If this is done, I will reward you with half a catty of sweet potatoes."
Lao Wangtou was familiar with Captain Li Da's dishonest virtues, and said helplessly: "Okay, let me give it a try."
There were not many people in the New Regiment Headquarters. Lao Wangtou was also the squad leader of the cooking class. When he returned to the cooking class, he gathered all the people in the cooking class and told everyone the tasks assigned by Commander Li Da, so that everyone could work out a solution together.
.
When everyone heard this, they were all helpless and stared at each other, but no one said a word.
At this moment, a tall soldier with a simple and honest face said: "Chief Secretary, let me go and give it a try."
When everyone looked at it, the speaker was Xu Dalong, who had just joined the new regiment yesterday and was assigned to be a cook in the cooking class. This guy looked honest and honest, not like a capable person. Everyone looked at him with doubts.
.
Lao Wangtou didn't believe that he had this ability and asked: "Do you really have a way?"
Xu Dalong is not from this era. He was originally the squadron leader of a famous modern special forces unit. He accidentally traveled to the era of the Anti-Japanese War and became a soldier of a new regiment.
He said with certainty: "Chief Secretary, I have a relative in Zhangzhuang who is from a good family. I want to get some meat from him."
Although Lao Wangtou didn't quite believe what Xu Dalong said, he had no choice but to become a living doctor now.
He said: "Okay, you go ahead. However, you have to pay attention to safety. No matter whether you can get something or not, you must return to the team before dinner tomorrow."
"Chief Secretary, I understand, I'm leaving now." Xu Dalong said as he walked out.
"Wait a minute." Lao Wangtou stopped him.
He said: "Take the old sleeve from our cooking class. We only have these five bullets, so save it."
In addition to the Japanese and puppet troops, there are also some bandit activities in this area. Lao Wangtou is worried that Xu Dalong is not familiar with this area and is worried that something may happen to him.
The equipment of the new regiment is good, but not everyone has a gun. The entire cooking class is equipped with an old sleeve with smooth rifling and only five bullets. It is considered the treasure of the cooking class.
.This time, because Xu Dalong was out to get meat, Lao Wangtou gritted his teeth and took out the old sleeve and asked Xu Dalong to use it for self-defense.
Xu Dalong was a little touched in his heart, but he really didn't like the old sleeve, and it was a burden to wear it. He said: "Chief Secretary, I won't use it."
Lao Wangtou was still worried about his safety and said: "This area is not peaceful, so you should take it with you."
Xu Dalong said: "Let's forget it. What if I can't get any meat when I go out and lose my gun? How will I explain it?"
These words immediately struck Lao Wangtou's mind. He felt that Xu Dalong looked a little stupid. If he really lost his gun, he would definitely be scolded by Commander Li.
So, he stopped insisting.
Xu Dalong was about to leave. He touched his pocket and found that there was not a cent in it. He said, "Chief Secretary, can you lend me fifty cents?"
He was worried that the chief secretary would not agree, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I borrowed this money, and I will pay it back to you when I come back."
The reason why Xu Dalong said this is because at this time, the ocean was very valuable. One ocean could buy about 30 kilograms of rice, or five kilograms of pork, or four kilograms of sugar, which had a very strong purchasing power. The food expenses of an ordinary soldier,
It’s less than a dime a day and half an ocean, but it’s a huge sum of money.
Lao Wangtou really didn't have much money in his wallet. However, when he saw that Xu Dalong was solving problems for the cooking class, and he didn't bring a gun, he felt that it was not easy for him either.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you a big ocean. If you can't do it, save some money and get the rest."
Xu Dalong took Dayang, held the middle of Dayang between his thumb and index finger, put it to his mouth and blew it, then put it to his ear, Dayang made a crisp buzzing sound.
He carefully put Dayang into his close-fitting pocket, then said goodbye and left.
After Xu Dalong left, the deputy squad leader of the cooking team said with some worry: "Chief Secretary, this guy looks stupid. I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish this. I hope he just spends all this money and doesn't lose anyone."
"
Lao Wangtou was helpless now. He sighed and said nothing.
