After a week of long-distance marching, Zhu Pingan, with his newly recruited Yiwu recruits, finally arrived near the Peach Blossom Gathering before sunset.
Under the reddish afterglow of the setting sun, a spectacularly solemn and orderly camp appeared in the sight of the Yiwu recruits from afar.
“Arrived, finally arrived.”
When the recruits saw the Peach Blossom Set School Ground camp from afar, one by one, they shouted with excitement.
After more than a week of long-distance marching, they could finally take a break.
“Look, the seniors are waiting for us.”
After getting closer, the Yiwu recruits discovered the veterans of the Zhejiang Army waiting in neat formation outside the yamen gate of the camp.
Zhu Pingan had sent someone to come to the Peach Blossom Collection schoolyard yesterday to inform the recruits of their arrival, causing the camp to make preparations for a good welcome as well as food, clothing, housing and travelling.
So, today, the veterans early in the camp outside the regulator gate formation waiting for the new soldiers.
Veterans uniforms neat, formation neat, training for several months they have a military authority, looks very bluff.
Yiwu recruits looked at their messy attire, as well as the formation that they had felt neat before, but now looked like a rabble, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of self-abasement.
“Welcome to the new brothers of the Zhejiang Army.”
While the Yiwu Bird recruits were ashamed of themselves, the Zhejiang Army veterans suddenly applauded warmly in welcome.
Listening to the warm welcome, the self-humiliation on the faces of the Yi Bird recruits was replaced by a feeling of being flattered, and their hearts could not help but be warmed.
What’s even warmer is that not only the warm welcome from the veterans, after entering the camp, there is also a pot of hot, rich meat aroma of pork, white pine, winter melon meatballs, and a basket of hot steamed buns as high as a small mountain, as well as a bucket of West Lake beef aoi coughing up all the time to warmly welcome them.
Continuously more than a week of long-distance march, dusty, thirsty and hungry Yi bird recruits, once into the Zhejian army camp there is such a meal beyond the imagination of the sumptuous hot meal, not only warm to the stomach, more warm to the heart.
As a result, the sense of belonging of the Yiwu recruits to the Zhejun Army greatly increased in this instant of just stepping into the camp.
At this moment, many people’s hearts were suddenly born out of a feeling:This life is fortunate to join the Zhejiang army, in the next life will still be a Zhejiang soldier.
“Without further ado, they are old men, you are new men, but we are all a family of the Zhejiang Army. Let’s eat first, then arrange the tents, then have a good night’s sleep, and let’s talk about the rest tomorrow. Now, let’s eat!”
After Zhu Pingan led the Yiwu recruits into the camp, he did not say much nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, he directly ordered to start the meal.
“My lord is wise, let’s start the meal ……”
“Thank you, my lord.”
A crowd of Yiwu recruits also thought that adults want to come to a long speech, I did not think that adults directly ordered to open the meal, suddenly one by one excited mouth are grinning to the root of the ear, and repeatedly shouted adults wise.
“Old brothers, we are not in a hurry, let the new brothers eat first.”The veterans of the Zhejiang Army took the initiative to develop their style and let the Yiwu recruits eat first.
“Come, come, new brothers, don’t worry, there’s enough food, everyone has it, line up to get it.”
“Hey hey, not that we are boasting haha, this big pot rice of our Zhejiang army is a best in this hundred miles around, large slices of pork, deep fried meatballs stuffed with fine meat, as well as this tofu slices sucked full of gravy, as well as fragrant and detoxifying white woad, take a bite, mouth full of oil, it’s simply the number one delicacy of the world ah.”
Caterers waved big spoons, enthusiastically greeted the Yiwu recruits, playing up the dishes with hands that did not shake at all, steady as can be, big spoons picking out meaty places to greet, a spoon scooped up full. Each Yiwu recruits have received a big bowl full of pot of vegetables, bright thick meat slices more than count, meatballs, not to mention, squeezed a bowl full of, tofu and cabbage are fast no footing.
Each person also received three large steamed buns as well as a large bowl of West Lake Beef Soup tube enough, the head of the army also from time to time to urge them, steamed buns more than enough, let go of the belly to eat, finished eating over to take, guaranteed tube enough.
“Hey, hey, hey, new brothers, you have to be careful when eating …….”A veteran smiled broadly and said to the new recruits.
Ah?
The new recruits who were carrying the bowls couldn’t help but stare, looking down at the bowls, is there sand in the bowls, or is the rice unclean?
Why else would we be told to be careful when we eat?
“Hahaha, it’s because this big pot of food cooked by our Zhejiang Army is really too fragrant, I’m worried that you’ll accidentally swallow your tongues, so that’s why I’m asking you to be careful when you eat, hahaha ……”
Seeing this, the veteran soldier laughed out loud in triumph.
The new soldier cried and laughed and looked at the old soldier ……
“Wo grass, dog said Hu Laoqi still have the strength to tease the newcomers, it seems to be that the amount of training in the morning is not enough ah, now, immediately, immediately go to give me three laps around the camp, run not finished don’t fucking want to eat ……”
Sentry chief went up and gave a kick to Hu Laoqi who was teasing the new recruits, scolded him, pointed outside and ordered loudly.
“Ah? Three laps?”Hu Laoqi like a dead mother, playful with the sentry chief begging for mercy, “sentry chief you put me as a fart.”.
“Too little is it, fine, now run four laps for me!”The sentry chief blackened his face and glared with bull’s eyes.
“Don’t don’t don’t, I have to post chief grandpa alas, you open grace, three laps is three laps, if you run four laps, it’s just too much to eat.”
Hearing that another lap was added, Hu Laoqi’s face was white with fear, and he clasped his fists and begged for forgiveness.
“Now five laps …….”The sentry chief said with a black face.
“I’ll run, I’ll run, can’t I ……”Hu Laoqi no longer dared to beep, got up and began to run.
“Hahaha, Hu Laoqi it’s useless for you to call the sentry chief grandpa, you have to call your ancestor ……”
“Serves you right Hu Laoshi, who let you beep all day long, this time satisfied ……”
A group of veterans saw Hu Laoshi pouting and running laps, whistling and laughing and cursing.
The crowd of new recruits couldn’t help but follow and laugh, and in the midst of the laughter, the feeling of being uprooted from one’s home town suddenly dissipated.
“It’s time to eat, it’s time to eat.”
“Well, that big brother was right, this cauldron of food is still really fragrant, so fragrant that I almost swallowed my tongue.”
“This just out of the pot of big steamed buns is also fragrant, warm and soft, dipped in the soup of the big pot of vegetables, fragrant and want to shout mother ……”
“Hey, it’s been half a year, finally eat meat again, too fragrant ……”
Yiwu recruits wolfed down the cauldron dishes, feeling that their joining the Zhejiang Army was really the wisest choice they had made in their lives.
How many years have they not eaten such a delicious meal in Yiwu, that is, the New Year’s Eve dinner is not as good as this meal ah. Yiwu land less mountains, planting land is not enough to eat, although there are mines, but are thin mines, but also years of mining competition, half of the year are used to fight, armour struggle mine la, the days of bitter ah.
