"30?"
Song Zhiting thought Zheng Baozhu thought it was too much, so he said, "Just give each person a small bag."
"A small bag is not enough to fill the gaps between your teeth."
"Then you can do more tomorrow."
Zheng Baozhu waved her hand: "No, we have some ready-made at home."
Song Zhiting followed Zheng Baozhu to the side room. When they entered, they saw that half of the room was filled with cardboard boxes.
Open the carton and you'll see all kinds of seafood inside.
“When did you cook so much seafood?”
"I buy seafood every day to cook it, and gradually I have accumulated so much."
Seeing that they were all vacuum packed, Song Zhiting said, "You made so many, but I haven't heard that you sold them."
"I plan to ship it back to Jing City and sell it at my mother's store."
"I'm afraid it's not cost-effective to ship by truck."
"I plan to ship it back by train."
Zheng Baozhu had already made a decision, so Song Zhiting didn't say much.
…
Song Zhiting brought 30 kilograms of seafood to distribute to the new recruits.
The new recruits did not eat alone, but shared the food with the veterans.
Although each person only got one bag, everyone was very happy.
The fraternity and unity between the new recruits and the old soldiers dispelled the new recruits' homesickness.
Song Zhiting's actions naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers from the second and third battalions.
Battalion Commander Qian was stared at with eager eyes by the new recruits in the battalion, so he came back and asked Li Na to prepare some seafood for everyone.
Li Na has made some money these days by selling spicy shredded squid and is happy to make more.
Upon seeing this, the battalion commander of the third battalion ordered the canteen to serve only seafood, but everyone ate the seafood in the canteen every day.
The commander of the third battalion had no choice but to find Political Commissar Qiu.
Political Commissar Qiu then found Song Zhiting and Battalion Commander Qian, and wanted the wives of the two families to teach the methods of cooking seafood to the army’s kitchen staff so that all the officers and soldiers in the army could eat delicious seafood.
Both of them are willing.
The cooking team learned how to cook it and it did not affect their business.
…
Ever since Zheng Baozhu gave seafood to the new recruits, he often encountered the little soldier crying behind the fishing boat at the beach.
Zheng Baozhu learned his name, Tao Dabao, and he was 19 years old.
I also understand why so many recruits say they miss home.
That time, Zheng Baozhu gave him 5 chicken legs. He did not eat them all by himself, but shared them with his comrades who were also new recruits.
Knowing that Zheng Baozhu went to the fishermen to buy seafood every day, he went to help.
Zheng Baozhu was so happy that she promised to give us as much seafood as we wanted.
When they brought the seafood back to the company, shared the delicious food, and told everyone what Zheng Baozhu had said, the new recruits began to miss home even if they didn't want to.
Now, the seafood cooked by the kitchen team is much more delicious than before, but Tao Dabao still likes to help Zheng Baozhu, and other recruits also compete to help Zheng Baozhu with the work.
Because every time they helped Zheng Baozhu with work, Zheng Baozhu would give them delicious food.
Sometimes it’s chicken legs, sometimes it’s braised eggs, and sometimes it’s fish balls. Each time is different and everyone looks forward to what the next time will be.
…
There is a competition for the new recruits. In order to encourage everyone to train actively, Song Zhiting tells them that if the new recruits of the first battalion win the competition, Zheng Baozhu will prepare special rewards for them.
Everyone is curious about what the reward is.
Song Zhiting just said that he would never let everyone down.
When Tao Dabao was helping Zheng Baozhu with work, he pretended to ask casually.
Zheng Baozhu was confused. When did she say she wanted to prepare rewards?
However, in order not to discourage Tao Dabao's enthusiasm, Zheng Baozhu still encouraged him to train hard and told him that there would definitely be rewards, but Song Zhiting would not let him reveal them for the time being.
…
When Song Zhiting came back, Zheng Baozhu asked about the rewards.
"What rewards do you plan to prepare after they win?"
Song Zhiting said: "Just whet their appetite, and when they win the game, just give them some rewards."
"You will lose prestige in the eyes of the new recruits if you treat them perfunctorily like this."
"I'll pay for the meat and give them a snack."
"You let the new soldiers eat the meat and let the old soldiers just watch?"
"I'm going to the forest to hunt another wild boar."
"You don't raise wild boars at home. You can kill them whenever you want."
"What should I do? Give me an idea."
Zheng Baozhu thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have to go back to Beijing. I can have the seafood delivered to our store and bring it back from Beijing."
Song Zhiting said: "Just hire a car or have it shipped by train. You don't have to go there."
Zheng Baozhu shook her head: "These are imported items. I don't feel safe leaving them to others."
"It will take at least three days to go there and back."
"It's only three days. I'll go back at the weekend. I'll ask Sister Ding to take care of Sicheng."
…
In the next few days, Zheng Baozhu made several trips back and forth every day, carrying a cardboard box each time.
On the weekend, before dawn, Song Zhiting drove to the door and wanted to load all the seafood in the side room into the car, but found that it was empty.
Zheng Baozhu said that she rented an empty house near the station and moved all the seafood there.
She also politely declined Song Zhiting's offer to take her to the station.
He said he didn't want to delay Song Zhiting's work.
After Zheng Baozhu left, Political Commissar Qiu saw Song Zhiting appear in the office and asked curiously, "Didn't you ask for leave today to take Xiao Zheng to the station?"
"She moved all her things to the vicinity of the station in advance, so she didn't need me to take her there."
Political Commissar Qiu sighed, "You don't have to deliver the goods. You can just take her to the station. The woman said no, but she actually wanted you to take her. I was being polite to you, but you took it seriously."
"I don't think she was just being polite. She really doesn't need me to send her off."
