Song Zhiting has been wanting to provide extra meals for his brothers in the camp recently, but funds are tight.
They are a group of strong young men who train hard and eat a lot.
There is no shortage of seafood on the island, but eating it often will make you sick of it, and everyone wants to eat some oily meat.
Song Zhiting wanted to provide extra meals for the soldiers in the camp, but he had given all his salary to Zheng Baozhu and was too embarrassed to ask for it back, so he had to think of another way.
After a walk in the mountains and forests on the island, he was lucky enough to encounter a wild boar that looked to be about 100 pounds. Song Zhiting was overjoyed.
If we can catch this wild boar, the brothers in the camp will have a great treat.
At night, Zheng Baozhu was about to go to bed when she heard the sound of the courtyard door opening and many footsteps.
In the army, Zheng Baozhu was not worried about bad guys breaking in.
When I turned on the light, I saw Song Zhiting and two soldiers carrying a wild boar.
One of the young soldiers was Xiao Cai, who often delivered letters to Zheng Baozhu, and the other one was a little older.
Zheng Baozhu saw that the two men's mouths were almost grinning to their ears, and pointed at the wild boar and asked, "Why did you bring a pig home?"
Song Zhiting said: "I caught the wild boar in the forest and I want to slaughter it at home."
"There's not much space at home, wouldn't it be more convenient to move to the army cafeteria?"
"That would be too eye-catching. If others knew about it, they would all want to come over and get a piece of the pie, and the brothers in our camp would have to eat less."
Xiao Cai said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that the battalion commander is stingy. There are more than 300 people in our battalion alone. This wild boar only weighs about 100 kilograms. It's not enough for us to share."
Zheng Baozhu said: "Do you need my help?"
Song Zhiting asked her to boil some hot water.
The three of them worked until late at night to slaughter and cut up the wild boar, and Zheng Baozhu also stayed with them until late at night.
They thought that all the meat would be taken to the kitchen team and used as a snack for the soldiers tomorrow. However, Zheng Baozhu saw that Song Zhiting only let Xiao Cai take away a piece of wild boar meat, weighing about 10 kilograms.
Zheng Baozhu asked: "Aren't we going to take all this meat away?"
Xiao Cai said happily: "With this meat, we will have enough meat buns to eat tomorrow morning."
If you use 10 kilograms of meat to make more than 300 servings of meat buns, will it still taste like meat?
Xiao Cai looked at Zheng Baozhu's surprised expression and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, having 10 kilograms of meat buns for one meal is already a lot, and other companies don't have it.
The goose the battalion commander gave us last time last time was eaten by us for half a month, and the brothers in other companies were envious of us.”
"Half a month? A large goose weighs only a dozen pounds. Do you cut off a leg every day?"
"It's such a luxury to eat meat every day. We only stew it with cabbage and potatoes every few days to satisfy the soldiers' cravings. Everyone is already very satisfied."
Zheng Baozhu sighed that life in the army was really hard.
…
After Xiao Cai left, Zheng Baozhu asked Song Zhiting: "Has the food in your camp always been like this?"
Song Zhiting said: "The kitchen team has no shortage of meat dishes every day, either seafood or cabbage, potatoes and radishes, and the soldiers are tired of eating them."
Zheng Baozhu said: "If you can complete our divorce procedures by the end of the year and agree to one condition, I will let you eat 10 kilograms of meat every day before the New Year."
"What conditions?"
"Don't worry about this for now, can you do it?"
"I will try my best to communicate with my grandfather. Are you planning to use your dowry money?"
"Um."
"It's better not to. That's your money and your future security. I'm responsible for my soldiers."
…
Song Zhiting asked Zheng Baozhu to stew some ribs for Song Sicheng to eat. But when he thought about the fact that more than 300 people were eating 10 kilograms of meat, how could Zheng Baozhu eat his ribs?
She helped to braise the wild boar's head and pig offal. The aroma spread far away, and everyone in the family compound knew that Zheng Baozhu was making delicious food at home again.
Song Zhiting came back, smelled the smell, and knocked on the door: "Are you asleep?"
There was no response from the house.
"Looks like he's asleep."
Zheng Baozhu was not asleep, she just didn't want to pay attention to Song Zhiting. It was his fault for not divorcing her quickly.
…
Song Zhiting's battalion had meat buns to eat, and Captain Qian of the Second Battalion was looked at by his company commander and platoon leader, feeling uncomfortable.
"Don't look at me. If you don't know, you might think I'm starving you. I've been to the First Battalion cafeteria and found that their meat buns don't have any meat at all, only vegetables.
I think using cabbage and seafood to make dumplings is also delicious.”
"Captain, we eat seafood every day, every meal, you can also give us some pork. Last time the first battalion ate goose, our brothers in the battalion were drooling."
"Captain Song bought the goose with his own money. He was single before and had some money saved. Now he has a wife and children, so the first battalion will be like us in the future.
Be patient, the New Year will come soon, the army will kill pigs and everyone will have meat to eat."
…
The next day, the lunch dish in the canteen of the first battalion included pig head.
Two days later, the canteen of the first battalion prepared spare ribs and braised food.
For the following period of time, pork would appear in the canteen of the First Battalion every other day.
These things were taken from Song Zhiting's house, so it's useless for others to be envious.
It's a rare day that he came home early, and there's still a piece of meat in the kitchen. Song Zhiting wants to give it to the kitchen staff to make another piece of meat buns.
When I went to the kitchen and didn't see any meat, I asked Zheng Baozhu if she had cooked it at home.
Zheng Baozhu pointed to the bucket in the kitchen: "It's there."
There was a lid on the bucket. Song Zhiting opened it and saw a whole bucket of minced meat mixed with cabbage.
The remaining wild boar meat was no more than 10 kilograms. Although the stuffing in the bucket had been mixed with cabbage, the meat was clearly visible.
