Ding Qiang glanced at the two of them and opened his mouth to speak when the warehouse door creaked open.
The cooks who were whispering to each other suddenly shut up and looked up at the warehouse door.
When Ding Qiang saw Chen Yong coming out of the warehouse chewing a cucumber, he took the lead and knelt down.
"Fire General Ding Qiang, meeting King Qianhuang..."
All the cooks following Ding Qiang knelt down at once.
"Greetings to King Qianhuang..."
Chen Yong was chewing a cucumber when he just walked out of the warehouse door and saw a burly man with a full beard kneeling in front of him with a group of people.
"Fireman, Ding Qiang."
Chen Yong swallowed the cucumber in his mouth with two gulps and looked at Ding Qiang.
Despite the long famine, Ding Qiang still looked strong. It turned out that the cooks were relatively stronger.
"Yes!" Ding Qiang looked up at Shen Yong.
Shen Yong raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, King Qianhuang..." After Ding Qiang knelt down to express his gratitude, he quickly stood up with a group of cooks.
Ding Qiang looked at the people following behind Shen Yong, each holding a green cucumber, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.
He quickly glanced at the half-open warehouse door and saw the warehouse full of meat and vegetables. His pupils trembled in shock.
Oh my god, King Qianhuang made a wish to the gods again.
The meat and vegetables here are even richer than those in the prefectural government warehouse.
"You've come just in time." Shen Yong looked at Ding Qiang's shocked expression and smiled.
"It's almost noon. You should immediately take people to prepare lunch for the soldiers."
"Don't be stingy, just go for it. The soldiers have been tired all morning, they deserve something good to eat."
After saying that, Chen Yong did not forget to remind him, "Don't make it too greasy, and use a combination of meat and vegetables..."
"Don't save the meat. It won't keep well in this hot weather. You should eat it now."
"Pack up the meat buns and dumplings, and make the dumplings for dinner..."
"Yes!" Ding Qiang excitedly puffed out his chest and shouted, "I promise to complete the task!"
Chen Yong smiled and raised his chin towards the warehouse.
"Okay, get busy."
"Yes!" Ding Qiang grinned and shouted to the shocked cooks behind him.
"What are you still standing there for? You guys, go build the stove right now..."
"You guys go find all the pots and pans and start washing them..."
"Come with me and help me prepare the meat and vegetables..."
“.......”
After Ding Qiang divided the work, the cooks immediately dispersed and went to do their own things.
Two or three hundred cooks followed Ding Qiang with bared teeth and rushed into the warehouse.
Jian Guangqi munched on the cucumber, his eyes full of smiles as he looked at the excited soldiers.
These hard days are finally over.
With King Qianhuang as their leader who values soldiers so much, the soldiers' good days are yet to come.
Jiang Daqiang watched the cooks carrying baskets of fruits and vegetables out of the warehouse, his eyes narrowed with smiles.
Oh my god, I can finally have a good meal.
These fresh vegetables make people feel comfortable just by looking at them. Even in the hot summer, it doesn’t feel that hot anymore....
.......
Soon, all the stoves in the military camp that had not been used for three or four months began to light up.
Hundreds of workers rushed into the mountains and started chopping down the dry trees.
When there is nothing to eat or drink in the barracks, who would think of chopping firewood?
Now I need firewood to cook.
Fortunately, there is a mountain range near the military camp.
The trees on the mountain were so dry that they provided them with abundant firewood for cooking.
More than a hundred large pots were lined up in a row and were burning at the same time, making the cooks sweat all over.
“It smells so good!”
When the Six Tiger Generals came following the scent, thousands of cooks were working with their bare chests.
Geng Tao took a deep breath, widened his eyes, and ran to Ding Qiang who was chopping vegetables in two or three steps.
He picked up the radish pieces that Ding Qiang had cut and stuffed them into his mouth.
“Crack, crack~”
"Mmm~ This radish is delicious, crunchy!"
As he spoke, Geng Tao reached out to pinch the radish pieces again.
"Pah~"
Ding Qiang smiled and patted Geng Tao's hand, "Be careful or I'll chop off your fingers."
Geng Tao looked at the sharp, reflective kitchen knife in Ding Qiang's hand and shrank his neck.
“Tsk!”
"Finally, your kitchen knife has found its use again."
Geng Tao took advantage of the moment to grab a handful of radish.
“Crack, crack~”
The crisp sound of chewing radish made He Feng's mouth water.
He squeezed next to Geng Tao, took a piece of radish from his palm and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Oh my god, this radish is so fresh and tender. It's delicious even without the radish from Kangxin."
Ding Qiang looked at the two greedy people, smiled and took two palm-sized radishes and stuffed them into their hands.
"Eat it. I'll make carrot and pork buns and leek and pork dumplings for dinner."
What he is cutting now is the filling for dumplings and buns later.
Of course, before starting the stove, the cooks each ate a cucumber and a palm-sized red radish.
This is not for them to eat privately, but is specially prepared by King Qianhuang for them, the cooks.
Ten large baskets of radishes and cucumbers were divided among them and gone in the blink of an eye.
He couldn't bear to eat so many radishes and cucumbers at once.
A soup made from so many radishes is enough for tens of thousands of soldiers.
But King Qianhuang said that we can’t let the cooks cook on an empty stomach.
It’s so uncomfortable to cook on an empty stomach, and it’s really dirty to have saliva falling into the pot.
Now, after satisfying their cravings, everyone works more efficiently.
"Oh my~~" Geng Tao looked at Ding Qiang in shock while holding the carrot.
"Does everyone in the barracks eat dumplings?"
He glanced at the soldiers standing in a row in front of him, and his pupils trembled twice in shock.
White flour dumplings!!!
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers ate white flour dumplings together. Even during the Chinese New Year in the past, not the entire military camp would eat white flour dumplings.
It's not a festival, but King Qianhuang comes up and gives white flour dumplings to the entire military camp. This is really too generous.
