Chapter 293: The Military Canteen
"Boss, are you looking for me?" Zhao Mingyu smiled cautiously, trying to make the boss take it lightly.
Jun Molin didn't speak, his brows raised slightly, but Zhao Mingyu, who was familiar with the boss's body language, almost fell to his knees.
"Boss, we... we just heard that my sister-in-law is coming to the military, so... so I wanted to say hello to my sister-in-law." Zhao Mingyu explained bravely.
Jun Molin raised his brows slightly, and looked straight at Zhao Mingyu like this, looking at Zhao Mingyu's back with cold sweat, and then gusts of cold wind blew, and his body kept shivering.
He is now very regretful of pushing the others over, and was caught by the boss.
Originally, I thought that when the eldest sister-in-law was here, the boss was very good-natured and should not punish them, but now it seems that they have misunderstood before?
Just when Zhao Mingyu was thinking wildly and thinking about how the boss would punish them, he heard the boss's familiar voice: "Take Bai Bai to visit the military camp."
"Boss, I didn't mean it, I... eh? What did you just say, boss?" Zhao Mingyu subconsciously prepared to beg for mercy, but as he spoke, he suddenly realized that what he had just heard didn't seem right.
Lord Grim frowned slightly, never repeating what he said a second time.
Zhao Mingyu saw the boss's expression became impatient, and immediately realized that he had committed the boss's taboo, and was about to speak when he heard Gu Bai speak too.
"Just please show me the barracks." Gu Bai said with a smile, his gentle voice was in complete contrast to the boss.
Zhao Mingyu realized that he was indeed not hallucinating just now, and looking at the impatient look on the boss's face, he was still very gentle when facing Gu Bai.
Sure enough, when there is a sister-in-law, the boss will not lose his temper at all.
Zhao Mingyu was happy for his previous sharp discovery, and at the same time, happy that he saved himself a punishment, and immediately stood at attention and saluted and promised: "Guarantee to complete the task!"
Jun Morin told Gu Bai a few more words, and let them leave first, and then began to speed up the affairs at hand.
When Zhao Mingyu was called to the office by Jun Molin, the people watching the excitement outside the office retreated very much without comrade-in-arms love, lest the boss's anger would also burn on them.
After Zhao Mingyu brought Gu Bai out, looking at the empty corridor, he couldn't help biting his back teeth.
This group of guys, it is estimated that the skin is itchy and lacks training. When today passes, let's see how he trains them!
"Sister-in-law, where do you want to visit? I'll take you there right away." Zhao Mingyu said to Gu Bai.
Gu Bai was not polite. Since Jun Molin didn't say where he can't go, it means that he should be able to go, so he said, "Where do you usually train?"
"Most of us are in the open-air training ground, and occasionally we do strength training indoors. Does my sister-in-law want to visit our training ground?" Zhao Mingyu asked.
Gu Bai's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said, "Is it okay?"
"certainly."
Therefore, Zhao Mingyu took Gu Bai to visit the training ground of the Third Army Corps, and everyone in the Third Army Corps in the military camp today saw Gu Bai with their own eyes.
After Gu Bai and Zhao Mingyu left, everyone got together and started talking.
"Is that the marshal's wife just now? She looks too good-looking, isn't it? The boss's beauty is not shallow."
"He seems to have a good temper. I just went to him for an autograph, and he signed it for me with a smile."
"Haha... I have to sign autographs too. Sister-in-law's handwriting is so beautiful."
"The boss is really enviable. It doesn't matter if you don't fall in love. If you talk about it at this level, you can't be jealous."
"I heard from Zhao Mingyu that the dishes made by my sister-in-law are very delicious. It would be great if I had the opportunity to eat the dishes made by my sister-in-law herself."
"I think you're thinking about eating shit. Even if you have the chance, before you eat the dishes made by the sister-in-law, it is estimated that you have already been killed by the boss."
"Even if you can't eat the dishes made by my sister-in-law, you can eat the dishes made by his apprentice. The last time we made an appointment at the Blue Star Restaurant was more than a month away. I've been waiting for a long time, hurry up. I'm hungry."
"Dude, you guys actually went to order food without saying a word? Count us in then, let's go eat together."
"And me, add me too."
"I, I, I, I'm going too!"
"A group of foodies, don't call me my comrade-in-arms in the future, I can't afford to lose face!" A comrade-in-arms looked disgusted, and immediately attracted other comrades-in-arms to attack.
"When you have the ability, don't eat the dishes made by the sister-in-law, or the dishes made by the apprentices taught by the sister-in-law. I will write down your words for you today."
"I will definitely not take you to eat in the future. You are not a foodie anyway."
The proud comrade-in-arms was hesitant to speak, but in the end, he shook his head proudly, ignoring the group of foodies.
On the other side, Zhao Mingyu took Gu Bai to basically turn around the third legion, and he also had a good understanding of Jun Molin's usual work.
"By the way, I heard that your military department has a canteen. Do you usually eat in the canteen?" Gu Bai was really super satisfied today, and his long-standing wish has been fulfilled in this world.
Although the real life in the military camp is different from what he imagined, the more he understands, the more he admires these lovely soldiers.
Without their defense of the homeland and the country, without them on the front line, how could the people live and work in peace and contentment and a happy life?
There is no real peace in the world, and the reason why we can live such a peaceful and worry-free life is only because someone is carrying the burden for us.
These soldiers were protecting them on the front lines, and he wanted to do what he could for them.
He may not be able to help with other things, but in terms of eating, he can still do his best.
"There is a canteen, but the food made by the chef in the canteen is so unpalatable that we rarely eat it." Zhao Mingyu said with a bitter face.
In fact, the treatment of soldiers in the empire is quite good, and precious natural food is provided, but good chefs are hard to find, and the soldiers don’t pay much attention to appetite, so the military canteen is almost like a decoration.
"Can you take me to see it?" Gu Bai asked.
"Of course." Zhao Mingyu didn't think too much about it, he just thought that Gu Bai was an occupational disease, and he wanted to see food-related issues wherever he went.
The two quickly came to a canteen closest to the Third Army.
This cafeteria covers a relatively small area, but as soon as you walk in, it feels empty. The tables are neatly arranged, only a few people are sitting, and all the others are empty.
"This is too unpalatable, why don't you go back and drink the nutrient solution." A young-looking man frowned and looked at the contents of the bowl.
"I was drafted into the army because the military had a natural food canteen, which could provide natural food for free, but who would have known that the canteen here would be so unpalatable." Another person also frowned.
"Chef Li's craftsmanship is getting worse and worse. I don't want to come here next time."
"There's no way, we can't go to the restaurant outside. It's expensive to eat a meal. If you want to experience natural food, you can only go to the cafeteria. I just don't know that the empire allocates so much money every year, why the chef is still invited. at this level?"
"I don't want to come if you are really good at cooking. After all, even if the military has the support of the empire, the salary it can give is definitely not comparable to those of the big families."
"Speaking of which, Marshal Jun's boyfriend is very good at cooking, right? I really envy Marshal. I can eat so many good things every day. If I can eat it once, I will be satisfied."
"Hey, you still dare to covet the marshal's boyfriend. Carefully pass it to the marshal's ears, so that you can't eat and leave first."
The soldier who said he was envious of Jun Morin immediately panicked and hurriedly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, where am I coveting Marshal's boyfriend, I just sighed that the food he made was delicious."
While disgusting that the food in front of them was not delicious, several people ate all the food in pain, and then hurriedly left the cafeteria.
Gu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he looked at the few soldiers who seemed to be fleeing.
"Is the food in your cafeteria so unpalatable?" Gu Bai couldn't help asking.
"These must be the soldiers who just joined the army this year. They were fooled by their predecessors. Otherwise, no one would come to the cafeteria to abuse themselves." Zhao Mingyu said gloatingly.
Thinking that when he first joined the army, he experienced the experience of being fooled by his seniors to come to the cafeteria to eat, and then this situation gradually became a tradition for recruits to join the army. All new recruits will definitely be fooled to eat once.
There are few natural ingredients in the empire, so no one is allowed to waste it, even if it is not delicious or you don’t like it, but since you ordered it, you must eat it all. Anyone who quietly throws it away and is discovered will definitely be severely punished .
This is also the reason why those few people just didn't like to eat it, and they all showed their masks of pain, but they still bite the bullet and eat it.
Since Zhao Mingyu was tricked into eating in the cafeteria for the first time, he basically never came to the cafeteria, unless he would come to experience it once when he was changing chefs, but most of them came full of expectations and left disappointed. .
Gradually, the veterans became really insensitive to the canteen.
Hearing Zhao Mingyu say this, Gu Bai suddenly felt sympathy for the recruits in the military camp for a few seconds, but is it really so bad?
Anyone who can be hired as a cook in a military camp should have some ability, and should not make food that everyone can resist.
"Or, let's order two dishes, I want to see the level of your canteen chefs." Gu Bai thought about it, and finally said.
You still have to taste it yourself to know the level of the canteen chef, and to find the crux of it.
Hearing this, Zhao Mingyu couldn't help but take a step back, "Don't, it's really hard to eat, the kind you can't swallow."
Gu Bai: "If you don't try it yourself, how can you know what level his level is and whether there is a need for guidance."
"What good guidance is there for this, he..." Zhao Mingyu said subconsciously, he suddenly reacted halfway through, and looked at Gu Bai in surprise: "Sister-in-law, do you want to help us train the chef in the cafeteria?"
Gu Bai's cooking skills are well-recognized all over the country. Those who have been trained and instructed by him, even if they have no foundation before, will make very delicious food. Although it is possible that those people only eat one or two kinds of food, But it's also stronger than what they can't even eat.
If the sister-in-law is really willing to train their cafeteria master, even if the master can only learn one or two dishes, they can often come to the cafeteria to change their tastes in the future.
"If he doesn't mind, we can communicate with each other." Gu Bai said modestly.
mind? How many people dream of being able to get the guidance of my sister-in-law, and a fool would refuse, okay?
"Then let's try two dishes now, don't worry, sister-in-law, if you really can't eat it, I'll eat it all for you." Zhao Mingyu couldn't wait to take Gu Bai to the cafeteria window to order food.
Because there are relatively few people who come to eat at ordinary times, in order not to waste ingredients, the cafeteria implements an ordering system, and the menu is placed on the wall.
Gu Bai looked at today's recipes in the cafeteria. They were all very common and homely dishes, so he ordered two of the simplest ones: "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and shredded potatoes with hot and sour sauce."
These two dishes are basically the dishes that novices will come into contact with at the beginning. The steps are very simple. Although it is very delicious and difficult to make, it is also difficult to make unpalatable dishes.
The chef in the cafeteria was quite fast at cooking. Not long after the two were seated, the two dishes were served.
In terms of color, both dishes are quite satisfactory, and there is no major problem.
Gu Bai picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up a piece of tomato and egg to taste when he heard Zhao Mingyu stop him and say, "Sister-in-law, let me try the taste for you first, so that you can prepare yourself mentally."
Hearing this, Gu Bai was a little puzzled, but he did not continue to put down his chopsticks, but watched Zhao Mingyu eat.
Zhao Mingyu held the tomato with chopsticks, staring at the tomato at all, not like staring at the food, but like staring at something bitter, and then put it into his mouth as soon as he closed his eyes.
The military regulations that the barracks should not waste food constantly echoed in Zhao Mingyu's mind, which made him bite the bullet and swallow the contents of his mouth.
"Master Li's cooking skills are really...regressed again." Zhao Mingyu almost wanted to cry now, regretting why he didn't stop his sister-in-law from ordering dishes just now. When he thought that these two dishes would go into his stomach later, he felt his stomach It's starting to feel uncomfortable.
"Is it really so unpalatable?" Gu Bai still thinks that Zhao Mingyu is exaggerating a bit, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, such a simple dish, how to make it so hard to swallow?
He couldn't imagine it, so Gu Bai decided that it would be better to experience it himself.
He also picked up a chopstick of tomatoes. On the surface, there was no problem, but when he put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, his face suddenly changed.
