Chen Yuanwu went to the cafeteria window and asked for another spoonful of chili sauce.
This is what Jiang Yun said. Whenever he couldn't eat but had to, he would mix the rice with salty and spicy ingredients, and then he would be able to eat it.
The chef in the cafeteria is from Shanxi. He makes chili oil that is particularly fragrant. Another special feature is that it does not smell spicy but fragrant, and tastes both spicy and fragrant.
Chen Yuanwu had seen southern soldiers who could eat spicy food. The smell of the chili peppers was so strong that it could make people sneeze even from a distance.
It didn't smell spicy at all, so he didn't think much of it and poured the chili sauce over the rice, stirring it until it turned red and shiny.
Luo Gang even pushed his lunch box towards him. "We have braised pork. Want to try it? Secretary Chen can handle spicy food. Are you from the south?"
It's not like a man to be so manly in front of female soldiers.
Chen Yuanwu looked at the greasy braised pork. He was already very full and had no appetite. "I am from Beijing. This chili sauce is well made. I like it very much. Some of my comrades like to eat this chili sauce and brought us all here."
Luo Gang smiled: "Well, we are almost from the same hometown."
Chen Yuanwu nodded. "I can tell. Your accent is quite distinct. You're from Acropolis. Captain Luo, please have some food. I have some here."
Luo Gang's tone brooked no refusal: "Try a piece, it's delicious."
Chen Yuanwu had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up a piece of braised pork: "Thank you!"
Luo Gang took two more pieces and said, "Don't be polite. If it's delicious, eat more! If it's not enough, I'll ask them to make you another portion. This is the good thing about this base. No matter how good the food is, if you like it, you can have as much as you want!"
Luo Gang's words were somewhat smug. At the pool, Jiang Jun looked like he was about to dump the food, and before he, the group leader, could say anything to stop her, Chen Yuanwu blocked his way.
You little brat! You're here to deliver something, and you're already trying to pick up girls? He looks like such a nice guy, why can't you just think of poaching from their base? Are there no female soldiers in the equipment department? Are you stretching your arms too far? You're quite good at using tricks, and you're even eating other people's leftovers. Brat, I'll give you more to eat, and I'll see if you're not stuffed to death!
Luo Gang turned around and called the orderly to get two more bowls of soup, and forced one on Chen Yuanwu: "Secretary Chen, drink some soup. You're sweating so much, it's so hot! Tsk tsk tsk!"
Chen Yuanwu was sweating profusely from the spiciness, but he managed to finish Jiang Jun's rice. While eating his snack, he thanked the chef in the cafeteria in his heart, saying that the chili was so well made and it was very refreshing!
Otherwise, those generous pieces of braised pork would have blocked his throat.
Luo Gang looked at Chen Yuanwu with satisfaction, as he was so full that he couldn't even lift his chopsticks. He instructed the orderly in person, "Take two meals from the lunch box and give them to Secretary Chen. They're going back late, so there must be no food at home. Also, bring twenty steamed buns and twenty eggs for them to eat in the car."
Chen Yuanwu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He then realized that Luo Gang was playing a trick on him. He could have taken the lunch box with him and eaten it in the car. He was already almost full, and now he did this.
Luo Gang still didn't let him go: "Secretary Chen, are you twenty?"
Chen Yuanwu smiled and said, "I'm already twenty-one."
Luo Gang uttered an "oh," praising but secretly criticizing, "Not bad, you've already been promoted at the age of 21. You look like a scholar, just like the experts at our base. They're also in their twenties, with higher ranks than me. Some of them are already division-level or army-level cadres. That's incredible."
Chen Yuanwu still smiled and said: "He has made great contributions, he is definitely better than me, he is my role model."
This is a violation of the base's rules, so he should just keep a low profile.
Luo Gang chuckled: "Then you sit here, I'm leaving first, I have to attend a meeting and study!"
Finally, Chen Yuanwu walked towards the motorcade carrying two large bags of steamed buns, eggs, and two boxes of vegetables. Chen Zhenbao's eyes almost popped out: "Is this a reward for not wasting food? Damn, if I had known that, I would have eaten that lunch box!"
Chen Yuanwu handed it over unhappily: "Take it, take it."
This is Luo Gang warning him that if he doesn't get out of here, he will be starved to death.
After getting in the car, Chen Yuanwu couldn't sit up straight and had to lean against it: "Drive slowly for a while, don't step on the accelerator too hard."
The car soldier Langda laughed and said, "Okay!"
Langda and Xiang Siren lived in the same dormitory, and had heard Xiang Siren parroting the same lines to them dozens of times, although each version had changes and the lines were not exactly the same.
Chen Yuanwu said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense when you get home."
Langda nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know. Lao Xiang wouldn't dare to say anything."
They were just joking in private. If their superiors knew about it, they would not assign them the task on this line.
Chen Yuanwu said sternly: "Let's go!"
The car drove far away from the military base, and Chen Yuanwu still had a smile on his face.
These two missions were a complete success.
From now on, whenever he has a holiday, he will go back to the Equipment Department and go on missions to the military base. Next time he comes, he will be more careful and try to avoid Luo Gang.
Luo Gang entered the conference hall and gave a pre-study speech to the new soldiers.
The importance of military bases concerns the future of the people of the world.
The importance of scientists concerns the future of the people of the whole country.
All soldiers must defend the military base and scientists with their lives.
…Then there was a babble of quotations that boosted morale.
He concluded, "We must always bear in mind our glorious mission and the responsibilities we shoulder. We must prioritize the military base and never be fooled by sugar-coated promises!" At this point, Luo Gang glanced toward the female clerks. "Okay, now General Hou will give the lecture. Pay attention."
Jiang Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the team leader was talking about her pouring out the food, but fortunately he didn't criticize her by name in the end.
Jiang Jun and He Xiangdong exchanged glances secretly and blinked lightly, and the matter was over.
Mo Xiaohui, who was sitting in the same seat, was not so relaxed. She thought that when Captain Luo Gang looked at her, he meant that she was talking with Chen Yuanwu at the same table during dinner. She immediately blushed and felt a little uncomfortable.
She only remembered to show off her familiarity with Chen Yuanwu, but forgot the confidentiality regulations of the base.
Hou Jianliang walked up to the podium and showed everyone the slides.
The lights in the conference room were off, and it was dark. Mo Xiaohui couldn't see each other's expressions, which made her feel a little relieved.
Slide presentations were not yet popular in the 1970s, and only a few scientific research institutions had the conditions to use them.
The content of the article is how to identify confidential passwords.
Hou Jianliang is usually shy and introverted, but he becomes unusually talkative when it comes to his professional field. He can explain a slide with only a few dozen words in great detail, and every word he says is related to the content on the slide.
The lecture ended and the lights in the conference room came on again.
Hou Jianliang's gaze drifted towards the backroom staff again, and he saw someone raise their hand. "Mo Xiaohui, do you have any questions?"
