It was noisy all night and finally became quiet at dawn.
All advance preparations have been completed.
When Liu Lang led the independent regiment's lieutenant and above officers to the scene, what they saw was a shocking scene. He proposed several large restaurants and all Chengde people to complete the scene.
Rows of long tables and benches that have not been completely planed and some of them still have fresh wood thorns exposed are neatly placed on the open space 100 meters in front of the temporary settlement site. The width is 60 meters, and 200 people can sit down and eat at the same time.
There are thirty rows of long tables, enough for 6,000 people to sit down and enjoy a meal at the same time.
The long wooden table is 0.8 meters wide, with people sitting on both sides. The width can reach 1.8 meters. There is still a gap of 1 meter between each row for the waiters to serve food. With thirty rows of long tables lined up, there are almost 900 people.
It's only one meter long, so it would take five minutes to go from the first row to the last row, let alone walking.
Nearly two hundred large pots are lined up around thirty rows of long tables according to the principle that every six pots take care of a row of tables. Various meats are already being braised in the pots, and the sound of wood burning lingers in the wide space.
Smoke and the aroma of meat.
Nearly a thousand people have already begun to work around the makeshift stoves. The Chengde women who helped clean up this evening have also returned to the temporary residence to avoid causing trouble for the chefs. Otherwise, the five or six thousand people would have been working together.
The scene will be even more spectacular.
Looking at the tables and chairs arranged as neatly as a canteen in a military camp as far as the eye can see, even the instigator Zhao Ergou couldn't help but scratch his head, "Damn, I insist on getting this group seat, what if I do the same?"
It would be great if I could find such a rich father-in-law, and I would treat all the young and old men in our village to a feast for three days."
"Haha, Zhao Ergou, can you be a bit of a bastard? You didn't say you paid for it yourself? I think you have saved a lot of money this year. You should treat all our brothers in the group for two days.
It’s not a big problem.” Ling Hong laughed at the side.
"Don't talk to me about your savings. If anyone mentions me again, are you going to offend your conscience? Did you forget that I treated you to mutton last time?" When Zhao Ergou heard this, he almost lost his eyes.
Congestion.
We agreed to treat a group of officers to dinner, but the owner of the restaurant insisted on half price. In the end, the regimental commander made the decision and decided to treat the entire regiment to mutton. More than a hundred oceans were lost like this. But that was him
The bonuses earned by fighting life and death at the Great Wall all went into the stomachs of these bastards.
If the regimental commander hadn't discovered his conscience and stuffed him with a small yellow croaker when paying the bill, Zhao Ergou would have been so distressed that he couldn't sleep these days.
Unexpectedly, these gangsters are still thinking about feasting on him when he gets married, which is really intolerable.
Seeing that Zhao Ergou was anxious when he mentioned money, all the officers burst into laughter.
Speaking of this guy, he is definitely the most loved and hated guy in the entire independent group, bar none.
What makes people like him is that under his training, the artillery company can fire accurately. As soon as he asks for artillery support, the artillery shells will fly over as if they have eyes. He will never be careless.
But making people hate him also makes people hate him tooth and nail. He is the commander of the artillery company and can provide fire support to the infantry. He is so awesome. Every infantry company wants people who are big and round. But why?
The commanders of the infantry company didn't dare to deny it. It wasn't that they were afraid that this guy would hit their own heads with the cannon, but what they were afraid of was what if he missed a few shots?
Therefore, whenever Qiu Feng heard that this guy was going to be beaten, even the officers who had diarrhea and could not eat meat would take a few bites to make the arrogant Captain Zhao feel distressed.
"Stupid, what's the point of treating everyone to a big meal when you get married? How can I lose you?" After Liu Lang scanned the shocking scene, listening to his subordinates joking with each other, he couldn't help but
Zhao Ergou said, laughing and scolding Zhao Ergou who felt sad when he mentioned money.
"Sir, what do you say?" Zhao Ergou blinked and asked humbly.
Based on his understanding of the regimental commander's temperament of never taking advantage of others, it seems that there is a way to this! There is a way.
"Hehe, usually when you treat guests, they only use their mouths. But when you treat guests, they are all brothers of life and death. Do they have the nerve to only use their mouths? Think about it?" Liu Lang said with a chuckle.
"Yes! Sir, you are right. I must invite this guest. Everyone in the group sends an invitation." Zhao Ergou slapped his thigh.
It's like an enlightenment.
"I don't know if others are embarrassed, but I spend all my money as soon as I have it. If, Brother Zhao, you are not on the day when the military pay is released, then I am afraid that Mr. Yu will have to go with his mouth. No, maybe a few cents of silver."
We still have brothers." Yu Xiancheng, who was still being supported after recovering from a serious illness, stated a fact lightly.
Yu Xiancheng was really not talking nonsense. Everyone knew that the money given to him, whether it was military pay or bonuses, except for leaving a piece of ocean to buy cigarettes, the rest almost never passed through his hands and was given to those who died in the battle under his command.
It has been like this every month since joining the independent regiment, and it has never stopped.
This time, half of his infantry battalion was killed and a third seriously wounded. With his personality, he probably wouldn't even be able to keep a piece of the ocean.
Facing such a person, who says he just opens his mouth, what can he say?
"Mr. Yu is right! Those who have money will naturally give it to them. Those who have no money can only open their mouths. We are all brothers in life and death, so why don't you let your brothers eat?" Ling Hong clapped his hands and laughed.
"Yes, yes, that's true." The scene burst into laughter again.
Zhao Ergou was dumbfounded. Damn it, it's not scary if a person is shameless. What's scary is that a group of people are shameless.
"Hey, stupid, if you don't want to take the money, you can ask your future sister-in-law to do so!" Liu Lang looked at the sky, said a few words lightly, and went to greet people.
The people from Ji's Mansion have arrived, and the one walking at the front is Lieutenant Colonel of Independent Tuan Zuo. No, on a day like today, it is more appropriate to call her Fat Tuan Zuo's fiancée.
"No, sir, this is to remind us. He said he wouldn't accept our gift before, but he didn't say that Chief Ji didn't want it!" Zhao Ergou was not happy to be awakened this time, but instead felt a bit more resentful.
Sir, you need to take action on your brother first!
What kind of brain circuits are these? Chief Ji’s family fortune will be short of your few pennies? The officers looked at this master who regarded money as his life with both laughter and tears.
Of course, that's what they thought, but the officers still touched the Yijin that had been sealed in advance in their wallets and followed Liu Lang to greet the people of Ji Mansion.
No matter how much the commander said he would not accept gifts, the congratulations were still expressed. Besides, during the six months I stayed in the Independent Regiment, my military salary was 30% more than before, and it was also paid on a monthly basis.
After the battle of the Great Wall was won, everyone made a small fortune more or less, and there was no shortage of money.
It is said to be a small fortune, but in addition to 30% of the property captured by individual Japanese soldiers, it is handed over to the regiment headquarters, and the remaining 70% is distributed by each battalion and company.
There is a lot of goods! Even if most of it is given to the brothers who died in the battle, the living people can still get a lot, not to mention half a year's military pay.
At this moment, Liu Lang couldn't care less about the little ones in his subordinates' hearts. All his attention was attracted by his fiancée.
Although they were still seventy or eighty meters apart, Ji Xiaoniu'er, who was not wearing a military uniform, was dressed so brightly today. It was Liu Lang's favorite style of dress, which made it difficult for Liu Lang not to sway.
