Chapter 55 We Meet Again

The braised dishes are all ready-made. Just take them out, cut them into pieces, and put them together to make a braised dish platter.

Add some seasoning and mix it, and it becomes a cold dish, simple and delicious.

Chu Minglan and Lin Anan worked together to stir-fry two vegetarian dishes.

Chu Mingzhou and Lu Qing were the only ones left in the main hall.

“I thought we were lucky this year and had all the opportunities, but unexpectedly, a case of food poisoning ruined all my expectations!

Fortunately for you, you made temporary remedies and the report was successfully completed. It will be on TV now. I...ah~"

What Lu Qing was talking about was naturally the special operations battalion's interview and report.

The plan was about to fail, but fortunately Lin Anan, a skilled translator, managed to handle it perfectly. This really made Lu Qing extremely envious.

The situation in the art troupe is no different from other things. The most capable performer has fallen. He is an irreplaceable role.

These core performers cannot perform at all without at least ten years of practice, and not everyone can make up for it.

Talented people in musical instruments are even rarer than translators!

There was no other way. In the era of food and clothing shortages, every household had no time to earn work points and make ends meet. Who would have the leisure to learn musical instruments? Even if you had money, you couldn't waste it like this. Not everyone could join the art troupe.

Chu Mingzhou poured him a cup of tea and said, "Don't sigh. This is not what you want. The most important thing is that Comrade Song can recover healthily."

"Yes, that's the truth."

The more Lu Qing spoke, the more depressed he became, his face full of frustration, "When we ordered the TV, I patted my chest and promised the troupe leader that our troupe's performance would definitely be on TV this time!

After all, this is the first time in ten years that a central leader has come to inspect us. With the level of our group, I am very confident..."

Chu Mingzhou frowned slightly when he saw his expression. "It's already like this. It's useless to be upset. Let's think about whether there is any other way to remedy the situation."

Lu Qing sighed again, "What can I do? I've been looking for a week! Now the performance is only a few days away, where can I find someone to replace Song Quan? Not to mention the violin, even for the accordion, there is no substitute for the time being."

Chu Mingzhou pondered for a moment, "Perhaps we can borrow someone from other art troupes? Or we can look for comrades in the army who can play musical instruments and see if they can take over temporarily."

"Other art troupes also have their own tasks. How can they easily borrow people? It's not easy to find comrades who can play musical instruments in the army. Isn't it time to ask you for help?"

As they were talking, Lin Anan and Chu Minglan walked in with dishes.

Lin Anan said with a smile: "What are you talking about? You look so serious. Come and eat, the food is ready."

"good."

"Sorry to bother you, Comrade Lin."

There were six dishes on the table.

Braised pork intestines with braised pork liver, cold pork head, stir-fried shredded potatoes, vinegar-fried Chinese cabbage, steamed beans, and stewed braised pig tail soup.

These dishes are extremely sumptuous, and most people can’t afford to eat such good food during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Qing was slightly stunned, and at Chu Mingzhou's invitation, he also picked up his chopsticks.

As soon as the braised food entered their mouths, not only Lu Qing, but even Chu Mingzhou was surprised.

Why is it so delicious?

While eating, Lu Qing kept praising: "Comrade Lin's cooking skills are really great. I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time."

Lu Qing was transferred from the Kyoto Military Region. He was a genuine third-generation red family member with a strong family background and had seen the world since he was young.

Even he said so, it can be seen that Lin Anan's braised food skills are extraordinary.

Chu Mingzhou also nodded, "It's really delicious."

"As long as you like it, eat more."

Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu also ate with gusto. The family sat together in a harmonious atmosphere.

When the meal was almost over, Lu Qing thought about the art troupe again, and his mood became a little depressed again: "Hey, I am really careless. Our art troupe has become like this, and I am still eating happily now!"

Chu Mingzhou glanced at him and swallowed the last bite of meat. "Don't think too much. I'll help you ask in the camp tomorrow if there are any soldiers who can play musical instruments."

Lin Anan blinked, confused. "Comrade Lu, are you recruiting people for your art troupe? But... why are you recruiting from the special operations battalion?"

It is said that everyone has their own specialties. The art troupe going to the special operations battalion to recruit instrument soldiers is as absurd as someone telling you to go to a bookstore to buy a fast food meal.

The Northwest Army Special Operations Battalion is filled with China's most physically fit and combat-capable soldiers. How could such people possibly jump on the stage of an art troupe?

Lu Qing smiled and shook his head, "No, I was just desperate, so I asked Ming Zhou for help..."

Lu Qing simply told the story of the art troupe again in detail.

Lin Anan pursed her lips when she heard this.

She actually knew where this soldier playing the accordion was!
