Chapter 24 Be brave and recruit soldiers!
The morning training passed quickly, and the members of the cannon fodder regiment were already too tired to stand straight.
But everyone still tried to stand up straight, no one complained, and no one left the team.
Because, in the courtyard of the shelter, the strong smell of meat filled the entire yard.
This made everyone swallow their saliva subconsciously.
Even though some of them had already eaten three meals of meat, they still couldn't help drooling when they smelled the meat.
"It's not spicy, it tastes like braised pork." Kang Huojian, who has a very sensitive nose, said in a low voice.
"Yeah, it's braised pork. It smells so good." Bu La swallowed his saliva and nodded continuously.
"I didn't expect to have braised pork today. Our group is really good."
"Brother Yaoma, what does braised pork taste like?" Doubing tried hard to take a sip of the aroma and asked curiously.
"Brother Bu La, have you ever eaten it? Can you tell me about it?"
Seeing that Yao Ma didn’t answer him, Dou Bing asked Bu La who was standing next to him.
Unfortunately, no matter how he shouted, no one paid any attention to him. Everyone was doing one thing, which was trying hard to inhale the fragrance.
"Bean cakes, they have never eaten braised pork, so they definitely can't tell the answer." Lin Yi explained with a smile.
"Let me tell you, braised pork is sweet and especially soft and sticky."
As Lin Yi explained, everyone in the cannon fodder group drooled even more. Some people didn't even care about their image and just wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths.
This time, none of the members of the cannon fodder group came out to refute or mock Lin Yi.
After all, they had never eaten braised pork.
Sugar, in particular, is even rarer.
"Look at what you have accomplished. It's just braised pork. I used to eat it often before I joined the army. It's just so-so." Meng Fan looked disdainful and began to brag about how he used to eat braised pork.
Compared to others, Lin Yi and Meng Fanle's family background is indeed much better than theirs, and they are no strangers to braised pork.
Others can only listen to them bragging about what the braised pork tastes like.
At this time, Cun Yunsheng walked over, looked at the expressions of the crowd, and naturally cursed in a bad mood.
"You are all so useless. Don't say you are my soldier when you go out. You are embarrassing me. It's just a meal of braised pork, isn't it?"
"From now on, I will let you eat it every day. If anyone dares to get tired of it, I will beat you with a belt."
Hearing this, the eyes of all the cannon fodder group members lit up.
It would be great to be able to eat braised pork every day.
Tired of eating?
That is absolutely impossible.
For them, even if they eat meat three times a day, they will never get tired of it.
"Hurry up and eat. After dinner, everyone should throw away their old clothes. Also, everyone should take a shower, disinfect, and shave their hair."
"Some people have lice in their hair. Don't you feel itchy when you sleep at night?"
"Look at what you look like, how are you any better than a beggar?"
"Especially you, not hot, look at your hair, you look even more like a beggar than a beggar."
This is why Cun Yunsheng previously praised Lin Yi for being a role model for a soldier. Even in difficult situations, he still keeps himself clean every day, perfectly demonstrating the military qualities that a soldier should have.
Just for this reason, he admired it immensely.
"Yes, Commander." No one dared to say anything more and responded quickly.
Soon, the fragrant braised pork came out of the pot and the crystal clear white rice was served on the table. Everyone lined up to get the rice, but their eyes were looking at the braised pork in front of them.
"Give me one more spoonful, give me more." Bu La urged, holding the bowl full of rice.
The veterinarian in charge of serving meals said helplessly.
"There are so many people, wait until we finish eating before fighting." "Veterinarian, considering our long-time relationship, give me one more spoonful." Bu La felt that two spoonfuls were not enough and said reluctantly.
"Give him another spoonful and let him eat to his heart's content. I don't need any food for him." Cun Yunsheng took a look, signaled to the veterinarian to give him another spoonful, and said proudly.
"Eat as much as you can, there is no limit."
"It smells so good." Kang Huojian couldn't help but pick up a piece of fat and put it into his mouth.
Ignoring the heat, I started biting into it.
The delicate meat left him with an endless aftertaste, especially the slight sweetness that struck his taste buds.
For a moment, Kang Huojian felt that his life was worth it.
Even if he died in the next second, he wouldn't care, and would even think it was worth it.
In the original book, he had never tasted braised pork before he died.
We were clearly about to cross the river at that time, but what happened?
In order to allow more people to cross the river, he turned back without hesitation, fought with the Japanese army, and finally died heroically.
Perhaps at the moment before his death, he was thinking about the meal of pork stewed with vermicelli at the shelter.
Even though they had diarrhea from that meal, they still miss it terribly.
Because that was the most delicious meal he had ever had in his life.
"It smells so good." Kang Huojian said to his fellow villagers while eating.
"What? Didn't I lie to you? Do you have meat to eat every day?"
The villagers ignored him and just kept eating.
For them, they have only eaten braised pork a few times in their lives.
So now that the braised pork is in front of me, I don’t have time to pay attention to him and I can only focus on eating the meat.
Cun Yunsheng also came to Lin Yi with a bowl full of braised pork.
"Major Ayi, please stop being annoying. After dinner, supervise them to take a bath, shave their heads, and change into military uniforms. Burn all their previous uniforms." Cun Yunsheng said.
"Yes." Several people responded quickly.
"Commander, did you get the military uniforms so quickly?" Meng Fanle asked curiously.
"I asked Milong to do it. I believe that with his ability, there will be no problem." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.
After hearing this, Meng Fanle stopped asking questions. After all, they had all witnessed Milong's abilities.
Let him be in charge of purchasing, and there will be absolutely no problems.
So all they have to do is focus on training.
"There is one more thing. Keep recruiting soldiers for me. I don't mind having too many soldiers. I'm just afraid that they are too few." Cun Yunsheng took a bite of meat, praised, and continued.
"Still recruiting?" Meng Fanle said with some embarrassment, and then looked at the defeated soldiers who were registering in the distance.
"Yes, continue recruiting. What's the matter? Are there any difficulties?" Cun Yunsheng glanced at him and asked in confusion.
"Are you worried that the money is not enough? Don't worry, even if it is multiplied several times, there is no need to worry."
"No, what I mean is, there are only three or four thousand people in Zenda. Did you recruit them all? Three or four thousand people in a regiment? Isn't it too eye-catching?" Meng Fan shook his head and expressed his inner concerns.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Just go ahead and recruit soldiers, and leave the rest to me."
"As for attracting attention, you don't need to worry about it."
After hearing this, Meng Fanle stopped asking questions and focused on thinking about how to recruit soldiers.
At this time, Milong also appeared at the gate of the shelter. Looking at the other party's panting appearance, Cun Yunsheng knew that the issue of the military uniform should be settled.
