Chapter 386 Stainless Steel Rice Bowl
"Alright, alright, let's go eat first, then we'll fight!"
After speaking, he stood up first and strode out of the tent. Commander Zhang and the others behind him smiled and followed him out, whispering among themselves as they walked.
"If I remember correctly, isn't the trade fair tomorrow?"
"Oh, you know what, it's true. I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about it. But speaking of which, are we going to meet up with our online friends this time?"
In the past, it was always Old Zhang who contacted them; we only knew their names but never actually met them!
"Hahaha, if that's what you're saying, then you're not wrong. It's just an online friend meetup! To be honest, I'm actually quite looking forward to it!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we can finally see our First Emperor in person! I reckon netizens will be overjoyed tomorrow."
The voices of the group did not diminish in the slightest, so Political Commissar Zhao, who was walking in front, heard them clearly and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"A trade fair? What's that?"
Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang and his companions walked away, explaining to him with smiles:
"The meaning of 'interdimensional shops' is that they allow businesses to operate across different dimensions. Before coming here, our time-traveling team had already visited about ten dimensions."
We're almost at the maximum level now, and then our shop—that five-story building you see—will be a permanent fixture in every plane we visit.
The same applies here. Our shops will be established here, and before reaching the maximum level, there will be one online transaction per month and one trade fair every six months.
When the trade fair begins, each plane can send two people to participate. It's on the fourth floor of the shop; you didn't go up there, so you don't know.
The fourth floor is filled with booths from various planes, displaying items from their respective dimensions. These items are usually just for display.
However, trading is permitted during the trade fair, meaning you'll see people from all dimensions tomorrow! Aren't you excited?
Political Commissar Zhao: "........."
To be honest, he was really looking forward to it. He was already very shocked, excited, and thrilled to see people from the future.
Unexpectedly, this told him that he would see people from other dimensions tomorrow.
Ah, this... it's more than just anticipation! He felt his breathing was about to become erratic, and he really wanted to burst out laughing and then run a few laps around the camp.
He held it in for a moment, his face turning red, and finally he managed to utter a dry, labored sentence.
"Um! What dimensions are there?"
Commander Zhang and the others noticed the change in Political Commissar Zhao's expression and couldn't help but smile. However, seeing his eager expression, they still explained it to him with a smile.
"What kinds of planes are there? There are many. So far, we've visited two of them: the cultivation world."
There are also the Beast World, the Apocalypse, and Interstellar, which are the future world, the Qin Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Sea Clan, and the Atlantis plane.
Oh, right, there's another dimension we haven't been to, but we're quite close to. Lele and our Xiaobai are friends there.
So we also have business dealings with the Karton Empire, which is located in that dimension. You'll meet them at the trade fair tomorrow, and I'll introduce you then!
Political Commissar Zhao: "........."
Each time he heard about a different dimension, he would count it on his fingers. Even after counting with both hands, it still wasn't enough. He was amazed, thinking how incredible the later generations were, having such extraordinary encounters.
After clicking his tongue in amazement, he was overjoyed. He, Zhao Chengjun, was actually going to meet people from the future, and soon he would meet people from other dimensions.
He had never heard of those planes before, nor had he ever seen them in storybooks. He never expected to see them with his own eyes. It was truly amazing.
I can't think about it, I can't think about it. It gets too exciting. My own teachers don't even know about it yet.
After thinking it over, he decided not to say anything for now. When those people from other dimensions arrived tomorrow, they would surely give the division commander a shock. Thinking of this, Political Commissar Zhao couldn't help but chuckle.
Commander Zhang and his companions: "........."
No one knew what Political Commissar Zhao was thinking, but his smile seemed a little mischievous. However, the group didn't think much of it and continued walking and chatting until they arrived at the interdimensional shop.
Since the 52nd Division's setup wasn't very large, the dimensional shop was parked next to the garrison, where there was a large open space.
There's more than enough space to park the dimensional shop and set up tents.
In the short time they were talking, rows of green tents had already been erected on the open space, creating a spectacular sight.
The dark green tent looked fantastic, far superior to the tents they were currently staying in. Political Commissar Zhao lingered over the tent with shining eyes.
Before he could ask anything, he smelled the aroma of meat. Upon smelling it, the words he was about to say were swallowed back down.
Following the aroma, I saw my own soldiers, each holding an iron bowl bigger than their face, munching away.
Upon witnessing this scene, Political Commissar Zhao was speechless.
Well, his feelings were somewhat complicated at that moment. These kids were eating like little piglets, and it was really hard to bear to watch.
I opened my mouth several times as if to say something, but it always got stuck in my throat. Helpless, I could only turn my head away and avoid seeing it.
However, in the blink of an eye, Commander Zhang stuffed a large iron basin into his arms. The bottom of the basin was still warm, and the aroma wafted straight to his nose the moment it was placed inside.
Delicious! So delicious! It smells like meat!
Looking down, I saw that the plump white rice was covered with glistening, bright red braised pork.
The bowl contained not only braised pork, but also a large chicken leg and a fish, and the vegetables were tender and lush.
He hadn't eaten such lush green vegetables in ages, let alone meat. Looking at the large iron basin in his arms, Political Commissar Zhao couldn't help but swallow.
"Eat up! Eat it while it's hot, there's more if you're not full! Eat as much as you want!"
Commander Zhang, holding his lunchbox, said with a smile, "After all, people in this era are short of oil and fat."
In addition, they have a lot of training and often have to go to the battlefield. Many times they don't even have a full meal because of the shortage of supplies.
The plates in the cafeteria are too small. These large stainless steel bowls are just right. They can hold a lot of food at once, which will definitely make sure they are full.
Political Commissar Zhao: "........."
Upon hearing this, he glanced at the large iron basin in his arms, then looked at the young soldiers sitting on the ground not far away, eating heartily.
So he stopped being coy, picked up his chopsticks, and started shoveling rice into his mouth.
