With Sprite as a side dish, everyone enjoyed the meal more happily.
Otherwise, you will feel sick of eating only meat. Besides, these dishes are very strong in flavor. The taste of the 21st century, which is heavy in oil and salt, is still a bit unbearable for people of this era.
Needless to say, the taste of soda is sweet, with plenty of carbon dioxide, which makes it very refreshing.
After the meal, both the host and the guests were very happy.
"Sister-in-law, where did you buy this soda? It tastes pretty good."
Ji Xia smiled and said, "If you like, drink more. If you can't finish it, you can take it back in a kettle. There's still some uneaten meat and vegetables in the kitchen. Each of you can pack a box to take home and eat tomorrow. It's not hot now, so it can be stored for a while!"
"That's not good. We have to eat it and take it back with us. How inappropriate!" Someone scratched his head and laughed. Of course he wanted to take it back. Otherwise, if he told those guys in the second and third battalions what he had eaten, they wouldn't believe him at all.
But these are all meat!
"Then why keep it? I won't be here tomorrow. I have to go back to the countryside and won't stay here for long. I made it for you guys to eat. Do you think I don't know more than this? I just prepared it for you to take back and eat."
Everyone was so moved that their eyes were red.
Not much rice was cooked, only half a lunch box for each person, but since they had just eaten so much meat, it was impossible for them to continue cooking like before.
After the meal, the food on the table was packed up directly. Ji Xia asked someone to bring out all the basins in the kitchen, took the chopping board and knife, cut all the braised meat into slices, and then filled a lunch box for each person.
Everyone cleaned up the pots and pans, cleaned up the house, and then said goodbye to Ji Xia. When leaving, everyone was reluctant to see her go.
Zhang Tie agreed to send Ji Xia to the countryside tomorrow. After everyone left, Ji Xia closed the gate. Although he was a little tired, he was still very happy.
She likes dealing with people in the army. Everyone has the same way of thinking, and it is easy for them to get into each other's hearts without any barriers.
More than thirty people came back in high spirits, each holding a large lunch box in their hands and a water bottle hanging on their chest. The aroma of braised meat could be smelled from a distance, and the smell was so strong.
"What have all these guys from the old First Battalion been up to? Did the commanders give them extra food? Why are their mouths full of grease?"
There were no napkins these days, and not everyone was used to carrying a handkerchief. After eating, those who were more particular would wipe their mouths, while those who were not would lick their upper and lower lips clean with their tongues.
"I heard this morning that the wife of Captain Qin, the old First Battalion commander, has returned and invited them to dinner."
"Wow, how much meat did they eat? They are all covered in the aroma of meat."
Someone sniffed hard.
Although there was meat for one or two meals every week, the meat was as thin as a cicada's wing, and some were as small as the shell of a little finger. If you were lucky, you could see one or two pieces in the dish. If you were unlucky, you could only hear that there was meat.
This is already the best treatment in the country.
How many people can't taste the smell of meat for half a year.
There are so many rich people in the entire Bing County now, but the supply is limited, and the demand is increasingly insufficient.
"Are you going to eat meat?" someone asked.
"Ah! Yes!"
These guys were so happy that they were almost out of their minds. Wang Yu even licked his lips deliberately. "I used to want to eat meat every day, and I looked forward to it. Oh, the table is full of meat, and I want some vegetables. You know, this stomach is really hard to satisfy!"
"Stop talking nonsense. The table is full of meat. You must be dreaming. Dreams can bring you anything!" said a soldier from the second battalion, rolling his eyes.
"I heard my sister-in-law say before that poverty limits imagination. I didn't understand this. Today, I have broadened my horizons!" Wang Yu's words really deserved a beating.
Someone behind him exclaimed, "What's in your lunch box? Is it really meat?"
It's not that anyone wanted to show off their wealth on purpose, but when they were packing the meat, an extra piece came out. After they cut it, they gave it all to a soldier named Lin Hongbing. The soldier's lunch box couldn't be closed anymore, and when he was bumped by someone, he almost dropped the meat on the ground, and was seen by others.
Lin Hongbing was a little embarrassed. He quickly rushed into the dormitory with his lunch box in his arms, so agile that no one had time to react.
"Why are you so excited? It's just a lunch box of meat." Wang Yu opened the lid of his lunch box and showed it to everyone. "There's no point in being envious. My sister-in-law packed it for us."
"This duck is really a lunch box of meat. Oh my god, I have never seen so much meat in my life!"
"It smells so good! Isn't this torture? I can see it but I can't eat it. This is too much!"
Wang Yu also wanted to rescue Lin Hongbing, so after showing it to others, he quickly covered the lunch box. Then he heard various sounds of swallowing saliva, and pairs of green eyes stared at them. It felt like being stared at by a hungry beast.
However, eating alone is not allowed in the army, and when I brought it back, I didn’t think about hiding it for myself. A big box of braised meat cannot be hidden.
But it depends on who gets it!
Everyone brought their lunch boxes back to the dormitory. Needless to say, everyone in the dormitory gathered around. When the lunch boxes were opened, the whole dormitory was suddenly filled with the smell of meat.
Seeing his roommates eating, Wang Yu held the kettle and drank with great enthusiasm.
Xie Jiefang ate a full mouthful of meat and stopped eating. He came over and asked Wang Yu, "Old Wang, what are you drinking? It smells so good."
"Come, bring your teacups over here. I'll pour some for each of you to satisfy your cravings!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurried to get their own teacups. Wang Yu poured a sip for each person. There were too many people and he couldn't fill a kettle with too much, so he just wanted to give them a taste.
