Lao Yang knew that the deputy commander's stubborn temper was rising again. If he was not given a reasonable explanation, he would not take a bite of this large bowl of fish soup even if it was placed in front of him.
Then he immediately explained: "Don't worry, chief. Everyone in the headquarters will have fish to eat tonight. Others may get more fish than you. Chief, just feel free to eat. Our cooking class will definitely not violate disciplines and give you fish."
Xiao Zao!”
The deputy commander still didn't move his chopsticks and asked with a frown: "What's going on? Our extra meal cost is just that much. If we ensure that everyone in the headquarters has fish, we will definitely not be able to do it without thirty or forty kilograms of fish. You guys
Where did the cooking team get so much money to buy fish? Isn't it a violation of discipline?"
"No, Chief, Lao Yang, I don't feel confident doing anything. I promise I won't do anything that violates discipline!"
"Didn't our cooking squad leader just take office today? He caught all these fish in the afternoon, and he cooked the fish soup himself. Chief, you can eat it with confidence!"
"Wang Ping, he can do this!" The deputy commander was stunned at first, and then asked with a look of disbelief.
Then he greeted the deputy chief of staff and several chiefs in front of him and said: "Since it was Wang Ping who did it, we must try it. Chief of Staff, let everyone eat. This fish soup looks delicious. Unexpectedly, this Wang Ping
Ping can do this, so it seems like he is right to go to the cooking class!"
There is no doubt that the fish soup Wang Ping made in the evening was welcomed by everyone in the headquarters.
The deputy commander alone drank two large bowls of fish soup and ate most of the crucian carp.
The cooking squad barracks was in a small yard next to the headquarters. After packing up, Wang Ping gathered everyone together.
"Lao Yang, there are still many big fish in the pool, which can only be caught with fishing nets, so we must find a way to get a fishing net back!" Lao Yang is the oldest soldier in the cooking squad and has followed the leader for the longest time.
There must be a way. This is why Wang Ping approached Lao Yang as soon as he entered the cooking class.
"There are fishing nets in the village, but we tried them and they couldn't catch any fish at all!" Lao Yang replied, shaking his head.
"That's because the fishing nets don't work. We just need to get the fishing nets back and we'll stay up late tonight to make some changes. By the way, do you still have funds for the cooking class? Just buy the fishing nets!" Wang Ping made a decision quickly, with a very serious look on his face.
confidence.
Lao Yang did not move immediately, but replied with an embarrassed look on his face: "Squad leader, we do have funds, but they are very small! If we buy fishing nets, we will have no money, and we will not even have money to buy oil and salt!"
The poor Wang Ping from the headquarters finally saw it, but he still insisted.
"Lao Yang, if you can trust me, go buy the fishing nets now. As for the funds, I will find a way!"
After staring at Wang Ping for a while, Lao Yang finally stood up: "Okay, squad leader, I believe you, go buy the fishing net back now!"
As soon as Lao Yang left, Wang Ping asked other people in the cooking team to prepare some tools for modifying fishing nets.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the cooking class.
The only funds available were used by squad leader Wang Ping to replace a fishing net that seemed useless to everyone.
If the fishing net cannot bring surprises to everyone, then in two days there will be no salt to eat at the headquarters. In everyone's opinion, this is a very risky decision.
Therefore, none of the six people in the cooking class, including Wang Ping, slept. They all watched Wang Ping remodeling the fishing nets and doing some work on the way.
"It's done! There are still three hours before dawn. As soon as dawn comes, we will go and test the effect!" Wang Ping looked at the transformed hand-thrown net in his hand and shouted with anticipation and excitement.
As for Lao Yang and the remaining four soldiers in the cooking squad, their expressions were filled with curiosity and incomprehension.
In their perception, the fishing net is just a long piece, how could it be round? Also, the holes in the fishing net are so small, how could the group get stuck when they got through...
Wang Ping did not explain, but asked directly: "Lao Yang, how far is the nearest market to the village? Are there any Japanese? Usually when we buy things, should the cooking team go there by themselves or ask the headquarters to send someone there!"
"There is a small county town more than 20 kilometers away. There are Japanese and puppet soldiers in it. We in the cooking class go shopping by ourselves and change into common people's clothes. No one will notice. And when we go there and when we come back, we
If you take a detour, even if you have a tail, you will be thrown off!"
"Okay, starting from tomorrow, we will be self-sufficient and turn the headquarters cooking team from the poorest in the Eighth Route Army to the richest!" Wang Ping said with confidence!
Because he had been thinking about how to change the current situation of the headquarters cooking class, Wang Ping still woke up at dawn despite being busy for most of the night.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Yang and others also woke up.
There is no doubt that everyone is looking forward to and worried about Wang Ping's bold words yesterday, and want to see the results earlier.
"Lao Yang, bring two buckets, I'll be useful!" Except for the two people left behind to prepare breakfast for the leader, the remaining four people in the cooking team were dispatched and rushed to the water pool not far away.
The area of the pool is not large, but the water is deep. Although the hand-thrown net modified by Wang Ping is not as good as the ones purchased by later generations, it is still no problem to use, and it can be thrown directly into the middle of the pool.
With three pairs of eyes watching, Wang Ping threw his first net.
As the fishing net with a diameter of more than five meters spread out on the water surface, and then quickly sank to the bottom, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the water surface that was calm just now.
Wang Ping quickly pulled the rope and trapped the big fish in the fishing net, and then shouted excitedly: "Get the bucket ready, there is a fish, and it is a big fish!"
The fishing net was pulled out of the water, and a large carp weighing at least five kilograms suddenly appeared in the net. As for crucian carp and crucian carp weighing one or two kilograms, there were also several.
Several people, including Lao Yang, were stunned.
The fish they had tried so hard to catch was now in Wang Ping's hands, and they could catch it with just one net, weighing more than ten kilograms!
It didn’t take long for the two buckets to be full!
"Lao Yang, pick out two big fish and six crucian carp weighing one or two kilograms, and we will go to the county town to sell the fish. Just the two of us will go there, and the others will go back and collect the big fish, and keep the small fish for me when I come back in the evening.
Head of the headquarters, make braised fish!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.
At this time, Lao Yang was still immersed in the surprise of the huge harvest. When Wang Ping said it, he immediately reacted.
The county is not big, but its location is important.
Faced with the interrogation by the Imperial Army at the gate, Wang Ping, who didn't even have a penny, certainly couldn't pay for the entrance fee, but this problem did not trouble Wang Ping.
"Baga, you're dead, you're dead. You dare to stop a fish from the Imperial Army Headquarters. It's your life!" Wang Ping cursed in Japanese, and several Imperial Army soldiers were so frightened that they trembled all over. As for the so-called
They didn't even dare to mention the cost of entering the city.
Lao Yang, who was following Wang Ping, was restrained again, but he didn't say anything and followed Wang Ping closely into the city.
Fish are very common in the south and can be found everywhere.
But it is a rarity in the north.
Wang Ping did not accept Lao Yang's suggestion to set up a stall on the roadside. Instead, he and Lao Yang walked directly to a restaurant in the city carrying a bucket.
Although it is a war, we still have to eat, so the business of several restaurants in the county has not been affected. However, in order to prevent the restaurants from being affected by the war, there are more or less Japanese people behind these stores.
Or the shadow of the puppet army!
The hotel Wang Ping went to was staffed by a battalion commander from the Imperial Association Army. Under his protection, the hotel's business was very good.
