Chapter 155 The Enviable Deputy Head Gu
Wu Hai's eyes fell on the two bottles of sauce in the orderly's hand. Thinking of his sister-in-law's cooking skills, he couldn't help swallowing.
This beef and mushroom sauce is definitely delicious.
"Deputy Commander Gu's new wife treats him very well. She even makes beef sauce for him to bring to the army. I once heard our battalion commander say that the one before Deputy Commander Gu couldn't even cook. When Deputy Commander Gu returned home, not only could he not have hot meals, he also had to cook and wash clothes." Xu Daqiang whispered to the people around him.
The soldiers who didn't know anything about it were stunned when they heard it.
"He can't cook, he can't wash clothes, I'm afraid the one Deputy Captain Gu married before was not an ancestor."
"Who says it isn't?"
"No wonder Deputy Commander Gu agreed to the divorce? She wanted me to marry someone like this, and she even wanted to divorce me. I'll divorce her too, no matter how pretty she is."
When the whistle sounded, the soldiers who were talking in low voices quickly lined up.
The morning training began.
After the morning training ended, the soldiers, who were tired after the whole morning, walked into the cafeteria tiredly with their lunch boxes.
The staple food for lunch is steamed buns, the meat dish is pork belly stewed with cabbage and tofu, and there is also an eggplant fried with green beans.
The pork belly stewed with cabbage and tofu is white and doesn't look very appetizing.
Wu Hai finished his meal and found an empty table to sit down.
Xu Daqiang brought the food and sat down next to him. "It's pork belly stewed with cabbage and tofu again. This is the sixth time I've eaten this dish this month."
Wu Hai smiled and said, "There's not much meat. This way everyone can get a taste of the meat."
"Deputy Captain Gu."
Gu Huai entered the cafeteria. The people eating did not stand up to salute, but they all shouted.
Gu Huai nodded and went to get the food. The soldier from the kitchen team took a big spoon and searched for pork belly in a large pot of pork belly stewed with cabbage and tofu.
I had just found three pieces when I heard Deputy Regimental Commander Gu say, "Don't buy me any meat. Leave it for the soldiers. My wife made me some mushroom beef sauce with lots of beef. I'll just have that."
As he spoke, he raised the bottle in his hand a little higher and showed it to him.
Through the glass bottle, you can see the oil that has been soaked in the sauce, as well as the red beef cubes and mushrooms. It looks very fragrant.
Since Deputy Regiment Commander Gu had made such a request, the soldier who served him food gave him some cabbage, tofu, beans and eggplant, and picked up four large, firm steamed buns and stacked them on top of the bowl.
Gu Huai took a look at the meal after preparing it, then walked towards the table where Wu Hai and the others were sitting. There were five people sitting at that table, four of whom were old people from his previous camp.
"Deputy Captain Gu." Wu Hai and the others called out with a smile.
Gu Huai sat down in the empty seat next to Wu Hai. As soon as he put the glass bottle on the table, the eyes of everyone at the table were focused on the glass bottle.
Gu Huai opened the jar, and the fresh, spicy aroma spread out.
The Adam's apples of Wu Hai and others rolled up and down.
Smells so good.
"What's that nice smell?" People at the next table also smelled it.
"It's Deputy Captain Gu's beef and mushroom sauce."
"What's the mushroom beef sauce?"
"Our deputy commander Gu's wife felt sorry for him, so she made some sauce at home and asked the commander to bring it to the troops to eat."
Yes, that's right.
A smile flashed in Gu Huai's eyes. He broke open the big steamed bun, picked up some beef paste from the bottle with chopsticks, and spread it evenly on the steamed bun. With two chopsticks, he filled the bun with the paste.
The red meat sauce spread on the white steamed buns looks indescribably tempting.
"Gu..."
"Gu." The sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.
Gu Huai was about to take a bite of the steamed bun when he heard the sound of swallowing saliva and paused.
Seeing Wu Hai and the others staring at his mushroom beef sauce with green light in their eyes, he pushed the glass jar to the middle of the table and said, "You should also try your sister-in-law's cooking."
Upon hearing this, the five people's eyes lit up.
Wu Hai took the lead, reached into the bottle with his chopsticks and picked out a spoonful of mushroom beef sauce. Seeing that the oil was about to drip, he hurriedly used a steamed bun to catch it.
Gu Huai took a bite of the steamed bun with sauce in it and squinted his eyes happily. After working hard for half a day, he felt so comforted by the delicious food and his fatigue was dispelled.
Xu Daqiang put the sauce in the steamed bun and couldn't help but take a big bite. "It smells so good, so delicious, lots of beef cubes."
"My sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good. It tastes better than the sauce sold in state-owned stores."
"That's right, does the sauce from the state-owned store have as much meat as the one our sister-in-law puts in it?"
"I really envy the deputy commander for marrying such a good wife."
Gu Huai was in a good mood after hearing these words. He picked up the steamed bun and was about to take another bite when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
When he looked up, he saw that the whole place was full of soldiers holding broken steamed buns in their hands and staring at his mushroom beef sauce with a green glow.
When did they come around?
A soldier who looked particularly honest showed his big white teeth and said, "Hey, deputy commander, you can't be partial to one and treat the other differently."
"That's right, Captain. You said we should treat everyone equally."
"That's right..." He swallowed.
Gu Huai: "..."
When he said there would be no favoritism, he meant there would be no favoritism in training for them, and they would all be treated equally!
Not in this kind of thing!
Three minutes later, Gu Huai looked at his empty jar that had been wiped clean with a steamed bun, and felt heartbroken.
He only took two scoops of the huge jar of beef and mushroom sauce and it was gone.
Gu Huai regretted that he shouldn't have brought the sauce to show off.
In the evening, he asked the orderly to prepare food for him and ate in the office.
In the evening, they had noodles in the cafeteria. Gu Huai hid in the office and ate them with sauce, feeling particularly satisfied.
The Gu family also eats noodles mixed with beef sauce.
After eating noodles with beef sauce, Yu Hui suddenly wanted to eat noodles with crayfish.
The next morning, he took Gu Qiuyan and the others to the river to fish for shrimps.
Gu Dong and the others also went. Because the weather was good today, there was no sun in the morning and the wind was strong. Zhao Changying also wanted to go for a walk by the river and get some fresh air.
So the whole family went together.
When they got to the river, Zhao Changying took Beibei by the hand and watched over her younger brothers. Yu Hui taught Gu Bin the task and asked him to watch over them and not let them go into the water.
It doesn't take so many people to fish for shrimp, so Gu Qiuyan and Gu Qiuye took off their shoes and went down to the river to catch fish.
There are not only snails but also many fish in the water plants by the river.
Gu Dong and the others didn't run around and play around, but squatted beside Yu Hui and watched her fishing for shrimps.
Gu Xixi is the leader of the Kua Kua group. Whenever she catches a shrimp, she will clap her hands and say, "Mom, you are so amazing! You caught five shrimps in one go."
"Mom is amazing. The shrimps she caught are so big."
After watching for a while, Gu Dong became eager to try, so Yu Hui gave him the pole.
Gu Dong threw the line into the river and felt it was a bit heavy. He pulled it up and found four lobsters hanging on the fat.
He immediately said to his stepmother happily, "Look, Mom, I caught four."
Yu Hui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Great."
Gu Dong lowered his head and shook the shrimps into the bucket, his ears turning red.
He turned around and threw the line into the river, then looked down at his chest. He could hear the sound clearly from where it came from.
“Boom boom boom…”
Is this what it feels like to be praised by your mother?
So happy.
He experienced this feeling for the first time.
