Chapter 783
He set an example himself, and no officer under him dared to ask for special treatment!
Therefore, their food treatment is exactly the same as that of ordinary navy personnel on warships.
In addition to receiving wages like in peacetime, the soldiers on the warships have their wages converted into supplies.
Various crops harvested from the plantations, newly caught fish, some daily necessities, etc.
The warship also provides three meals a day, but the food is not as good as before. The taste is average, but the quantity is large and filling.
Captain Chen almost never had any special requests for food, but today he took the initiative to ask for fried fish.
The adjutant was filled with emotion. He went to the mess hall and found an experienced mess chef. He lowered his voice and said, "Lao Li, Captain Chen wants fried fish today. Do you have this dish today?"
Old Li was very attentive and immediately understood what he meant. A smile spread across his face. "Don't worry, Lieutenant Yun. I promise to satisfy Captain Chen!"
The adjutant quickly reminded him, "Don't overdo it, or Captain Chen will notice."
Old Li nodded repeatedly: "Oh, that's fine. Don't worry, don't you think I don't understand this?"
He put down his work and began to prepare immediately.
He skillfully cleaned out a huge fish. The fish was plump and bright in color, and it was obvious that it was freshly caught.
He fried the fish carefully, controlling the oil temperature just right. When the fish was golden and crispy, he skillfully poured the pre-prepared sweet and sour sauce on it, and the sweet and sour taste spread instantly.
The cafeteria was filled with tempting aromas, attracting the attention of others.
The adjutant also swallowed his saliva frequently, patted Lao Li on the shoulder, put the fried sweet and sour fish and taro rice into the lunch box, carried it carefully, and hurried to Captain Chen's office.
Captain Chen took the lunch box, opened it gently, and an enticing aroma wafted into his nose.
A smile appeared on his dark, wrinkled face. He picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully.
The fish is tender and juicy, with just the right amount of sweet and sour. It is indeed delicious!
He nodded with satisfaction and ate it in no time.
Adjutant Yun was full of loyalty and felt very relieved as he watched from the side.
The captain has devoted himself to the fleet for so many years, working day and night. He feels relieved and happy to have such an opportunity to let him have some delicious food. He feels that it was not in vain that he was chosen as Captain Chen's adjutant.
Unexpectedly, Captain Chen ate the whole fish with satisfaction and also finished the salty taro that had been squeezed into a paste.
When he lowered his head to continue working, he suddenly said, "Go and take two fish from my salary and send them to the canteen. You can't use public money."
Adjutant Yun opened his mouth.
Captain Chen didn't even raise his head, concentrating on his work.
Adjutant Yun then responded and walked out dejectedly.
As soon as he left the house, he remembered something and hurried back into the house: "Captain, you only ate one fish..."
Captain Chen said calmly, "Then the oil, sauce and other condiments are free?"
Now, these are very precious.
Adjutant Yun went out with a bitter face.
Since the Zhou family exchanged a barrel of oil to fry fish, they naturally had to fry a large amount of fish, which made quite a fuss.
Then we can’t do this work in the two small stone houses, as oil will splatter everywhere and it will be greasy.
It just so happened that the Zhou family’s several cabins were damaged and never rebuilt.
Zhou Jianghai looked at the place at the door and built a shelf with planks and wood at the door of the stone house.
Disasters happen from time to time, and no matter how hard you try to build a wooden house, it will be damaged to a great extent. So the Zhou family decided to follow the crowd and build a shed at the door to keep out the rain.
They also built a simple stove with stones picked up from the coast.
The stove is connected to the thermal wall of the stone house.
After Zhou Jianghai finished building the stove, he looked around and said, "We'll have to build a stone kitchen later. If we don't keep an eye on this stove, it could easily go out."
Zhou Shuwan said, "It's okay, take your time. Our White Flame Furnace will last us for another year or two."
The White Flame Furnace was too precious back then, and the Zhou family never had the opportunity to exchange for more.
There is still a batch of things in the space, including those given by Tao Zheng and others, and those exchanged with the base later.
According to Xue Wuwen, when day comes, the weather will warm up quickly.
Of course not! Even the seawater is boiling! How could it not be hot?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jianghai no longer insisted on building a stone kitchen.
As for the vegetable shed that originally existed in the back room, Zhou Shuwan put most of it into the space, leaving a part to hide it from the public, but all the plants naturally died.
They just came back and haven't sorted things out yet.
Zhong Tiyun also looked around and said that if it didn't work, she could put two rows of planting boxes in their stone house and grow some vegetables, which would be easier to take care of.
The Zhou family had no objection.
At this time, Zhou Jianghai was wearing an apron and cooking under a shed at the door of the house.
Two torches were lit nearby.
Coupled with the fire from the stove, the area was illuminated very brightly and it was not cold.
Zhou Shuwan brought a basket of freshly fried fish fillets into the house.
Qi Mingyu was sitting in front of the small stove outside the house, using tongs to carry firewood into the stove.
He is now more familiar with his blind identity. After helping him familiarize himself with the distance between the stove, firewood and himself, he will be able to take on the task of making a fire.
Zhou Jianghai was carefully turning over a pot of fish that had just been fried.
The oil pan sizzled, and a rich aroma spread with the smoke, attracting passers-by nearby to stop and sniff greedily.
"Dad, is the pot ready?" Zhou Shuwan took out the empty basket and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Zhou Jianghai shook his head: "We have to wait a while, don't be impatient."
Zhou Shuwan went to cut the fish.
Cutting fish was a tiring job. Qi Mingyu listened silently for a while, then finally couldn't help but look up: "Wanwan, why don't you light the fire and I'll cut the fish!"
He demonstrated cutting into pieces with his hands, which was not difficult.
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "No, I don't like sitting next to the stove and smelling the smoke. I'll have to trouble you to take on this job."
Qi Mingyu knew what she was thinking, so he smiled, his eyes slightly raised, looking particularly gentle: "Let's take a break later, I'll do it."
Zhou Jianghai listened to the conversation between the two people, every sentence was so sweet and corny that it was disgusting.
He couldn't get involved, so he just pretended not to hear and ordered Zhou Shuwan: "Wanwan, bring the raw fish."
"Hey, here we come."
Zhou Shuwan brought a basket of freshly cut raw fish pieces and was helping to put them into the frying pan when he saw his neighbors Sun Xu and Jiang Yixin coming over.
Sun Xu supported Jiang Yixin, holding seven or eight fish in his hands, and walked over carefully.
First he called out awkwardly, "Brother Dahai!"
Zhou Jianghai was busy flipping fish and didn't bother to look at them. He just called out, "Xiao Sun, where are you going?"
