Chapter 343: I won't swear an oath even if I'm pushed
What disappointed Ye Xiaomei was that although Zhang Erquan did not act particularly nervous, there was a flash in his eyes that was completely inconsistent with the naive look of a rookie during the day. Yes, a look of hatred.
Heizi's pupils suddenly shrank: "Is it so serious?"
He was performing on stage tonight, and after playing the White-Haired Girl he sat behind Ye Xiaomei and kept asking her if she did a good job.
At this time, Heizi squatted and moved his body, and walked into the warehouse through the back door.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaomei also moved in, and soon everyone except a few people in the kitchen moved into the dark storage room.
There was a back door at the back of the storage room. Heizi cleared out all the thieves and drove the other people away.
Then Heizi nervously pulled Zhang Erquan away from Ye Xiaomei and said in a low voice:
"Don't you dare talk nonsense? It's ok to run out to hunt, but you will be punished for stealing food."
It was too dark in here, and Ye Xiaomei couldn't see the other person's expression. She only heard Zhang Erquan say "hmm".
Zhang Erquan asked suspiciously, "Even if you don't tell me, we can still find out. What should we do then?"
With a snap, Heizi slapped his forehead and said, "Then you can't give me away. If you do, I won't be able to speak well of you in front of the leader."
Zhang Erquan hummed a few times again.
Ye Xiaomei squatted in the darkness like a transparent person. She always felt that Zhang Erquan was very suspicious.
The cave was so well hidden that if no one had told them, there was no way the Japanese pirates would have found it.
And Heizi didn't go out in the evening. They had dinner together in the dormitory and then watched the show together.
At this moment, the light in the warehouse was suddenly turned on, and the light came on instantly.
The kitchen squad leader, who originally had a sad face, looked even sadder. After a closer look, the mood on his face was:
"Why are you three still here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Heizi said quickly: "Let's go now."
After saying this, he stood up and left, and Zhang Erquan followed him out the back door.
After the lights came on, Ye Xiaomei realized that this back door was the delivery door. The entire storage room was filled with bags of cabbage, bags of radishes, potatoes, etc., mostly ingredients for cooking.
At this time, squad leader Liu did not notice that Ye Xiaomei had not left. He was searching while muttering:
"There are so many people from the art troupe today that the dishes have already exceeded the reserve. What should we cook for the leaders?"
Ye Xiaomei suddenly had an idea. She also wanted to listen to what the leader said, at least to know whether her husband was implicated.
"Captain Liu, how about I come up with some ideas?" Ye Xiaomei said as she stood up and walked over. She found a package of familiar things on the shelf, as well as several jars of pickled vegetables:
"This pickled fish is pretty good. Add some pickled cabbage and more lard and it will taste pretty good."
Only then did squad leader Liu realize that Ye Xiaomei had not left. Although her idea was good, the terrible thing was, "Didn't you leave this here?"
Ye Xiaomei took it down without hesitation: "It doesn't matter who eats it. We have to make some delicious food for the leader."
Liu Banzhan, a man in his forties, had gratitude in his eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment:
"In fact, we slaughtered two pigs this morning to provide enough food for the day. We killed more than 300 fish and ate them all. There is indeed no fishy smell. We can't let the leaders know about the stew in the pot outside."
Ye Xiaomei smiled with dimples. She understood all of this, but when she turned around, she saw:
"Isn't there a piece of pork skin here? Roast it over the fire to remove the hair, then cut it into strips and stew it with radishes. It will be soft and springy."
Squad Leader Liu's eyes lit up: "You can cook too."
In everyone's mind, a young talent like Ma Qijun would marry a wife who is either rich or noble, and usually the kind that can't cook.
Ye Xiaomei smiled awkwardly and answered modestly, "A little bit."
Strictly speaking, she was just from a poor family. When she was a child, she had a hard time eating pickled mustard greens once, and they were pig offal. She knew how to cook pig intestines and how to deal with the dirty things.
These were things that most people didn't want. In the early days, all the dirty things that couldn't be dealt with would be thrown away. She would hold Xiaoya's hand and pick them up, even if they were thrown into the mud by the river.
But who could have imagined that decades later these would become the treasures of delicious dishes.
Ye Xiaomei did not leave. Seeing that several kitchen staff were so sleepy, she volunteered to help them.
Those people went back to rest. The more Old Liu looked at this girl, the more he liked her. She was nimble and had good knife skills in cutting vegetables.
Ye Xiaomei didn't pay any attention to Class Monitor Liu. She stood on tiptoe and looked at the person at the cafeteria table.
Zhao Jinlong patted Ma Qijun on the shoulder and said, "Let's work together and we will definitely be able to find the person."
Ma Qijun opened Zhao Jinlong's hand. In his eyes, this man was a villain, and this was the most direct way to bring him down.
Zhao Jinlong's arm stopped awkwardly in mid-air: "Okay, if you don't think you need my cooperation, you can check it yourself."
Master Feng couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "Can't you tell which is more important?"
Ma Qijun just drank tea in silence and ignored everyone.
Zhao Jinlong hurriedly explained: "Report to the chief, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Ma Qijun could not help but said coldly: "How did you find out the result?"
Oh, when Ye Xiaomei heard this, she suddenly retracted her hands from the plank.
When squad leader Liu saw that his finger was bleeding, he quickly went to the kitchen to find gauze.
Ye Xiaomei didn't take it seriously and put it in her mouth and sucked it a few times. She was thinking about how to get involved in this matter. After all, she was just a soldier's family member.
She lowered her head and saw that a pot of pickled fish was ready on the table. She simply wiped the blood from her fingers on the cloth bag, picked it up and left.
Old Liu had just come out of the storage room holding a piece of gauze. When he saw that she had already left, he held back his words.
At the same time, Ma Qijun, who had his back to Ye Xiaomei, slammed the table and said:
"Zhao Jinlong, you are to me..."
"The food is here." Ye Xiaomei deliberately raised her voice and hurriedly served the food.
The moment Ma Qijun turned around, he was almost petrified. Was this his wife? Why was she here so late? He squinted his eyes.
At the same time, the whole place fell silent, and Feng Baichuan was even more stunned.
Several other Air Force secretaries refused to talk about working together.
Only Zhao Jinlong smiled like a fool. He took the dish from Ye Xiaomei and placed it in the middle of the table. He added:
"Thank you, Miss Ye, for your hard work."
Ma Qijun's brows furrowed even deeper. He looked at Zhao Jinlong and then at his wife. If someone didn't know, they would think they had some special relationship behind their backs.
Ye Xiaomei smiled innocently: "You're welcome, you guys can eat your own food, comrade leader, I'm just hungry too, and I don't know the rules of the army, I just wanted to find something to eat, so I'll just lend a hand."
She said it very naturally, and because it was too natural, Ma Qijun looked unhappy. He was worried that the fact that his wife had been to Dongshan in the afternoon would be discovered.
This is clearly a false accusation.
Ma Qijun looked at Zhao Jinlong subconsciously, his eyes sharp as a sword, and he could almost determine by instinct that it was Zhao Jinlong who did it.
Zhao Jinlong smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? Your wife's medical skills are very good, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly. If I didn't recover so quickly, does that mean I'm not so suspicious?
I don’t want to argue with you about the past, but I have to express my opinion on what happened today in the presence of the teacher.”
As he spoke, Zhao Jinlong stood up and raised his fist righteously, as if he was swearing to the party and the country as a qualified soldier.
"If I, Zhao Jinlong, have committed treason and betrayal, I am willing to accept the sanctions imposed by the state. In the words of the people, if I, Zhao Jinlong, have disobeyed the state, my descendants will die a miserable death."
