109: Chef God! A huge pit has appeared due to a collapse!
Whoosh... The Cookhouse Squad Leader, along with the cookhouse soldiers, was busy processing the vegetables that had been buried in the garden yesterday.
It seemed they were in a great hurry, and manpower was insufficient.
Su Yun put down his entrenching tool and walked over: "Squad Leader, I am truly sorry about yesterday. I apologize to all of you."
"We will be leaving after today, and it might be difficult to see each other again in the future."
"As an apology, why don't I help you cook?"
The Cookhouse Squad Leader was taken aback.
What happened yesterday βthe destruction of the vegetable garden βwas equivalent to destroying his painstaking efforts. It was certainly infuriating.
However, upon reflection, Su Yun hadn't done it intentionally, so he didn't dwell on it.
He countered, "You... you know how to cook?"
His intentions were good, but breakfast was, after all, meant for all the soldiers in the regiment.
Su Yun nodded, without offering further explanation: "Just give it a try! We'll know once we try it!"
With the conversation having reached this point, the Cookhouse Squad Leader found it difficult to refuse him.
He led the cookhouse soldiers, hurrying to assist him and handle the necessary trivial matters.
Fatty Wang Fan saw Su Yun pick up the iron ladle and tie on an apron.
His interest was instantly piqued: "Brother? You know how to cook?"
"Why didn't I know this before!?"
Su Yun grinned: "There are still plenty of things you don't know..."
A few minutes ago, when he decided to express his apology to the Cookhouse Squad Leader, he had silently exchanged a skill in the system mall.
He spent 5,000 yuan to exchange for God of Cookery skills!
He heated the wok and poured in the oil... Since the Steel Regiment had many soldiers and this was large-pot cooking, preparing the meal would not be easy.
The cookhouse soldiers watched eagerly, feeling inwardly anxious... Everyone had eaten takeout for dinner yesterday, and soldiers had already begun reporting problems early this morning.
Having grown accustomed to the cookhouse meals, they genuinely weren't used to the sudden change... Boom!
When the oil reached seventy to eighty percent heat, Su Yun poured the scallions, ginger, garlic, and all the seasonings into the wok.
He stir-fried them until fragrant, then added the shredded potatoes that had been sliced beforehand.
Today's first dish was Spicy Stir-fried Shredded Potatoes!
That's right, the vegetables were all salvaged from the dirt pile early this morning... They were very fresh!
Boom boom boom... The iron ladle flipped the shredded potatoes back and forth, ensuring that every single strand was heated evenly.
Fatty Wang Fan watched eagerly, his expression a mix of surprise and shock.
He felt like one half of a loving couple who had suddenly been emotionally cheated on!
Wang Fan stammered, "W-what the heck! My Brother actually knows how to cook!?"
If he had to describe it, it was like the week before final exams... you and your good roommate had agreed to sleep in until noon, only to wake up and discover your good roommate had been studying in the library all morning!
β β [Holy cow, holy cow! Amazing, Brother Su!]
β β [As expected of My Brother Su! He's fierce and doesn't mince words!]
β β [My goodness... I'm dumbfounded! Brother Su can even flip the ladle!]
β β [He... he can toss the wok!?]
β β [My brain stem is atrophying!]
What the heck... he can actually flip a wok that big!?
The tens of millions of fans and netizens in the livestream room were all dumbfounded.
Even the cookhouse soldiers stared blankly at their squad leader.
They thought: The Squad Leader always boasted he could toss the big wok! But they had never actually seen him do it!
At this very moment... the Cookhouse Squad Leader wished he could crawl into a crack in the rock, overwhelmed by shame.
He stared intently at Su Yun, thinking, 'I knew I shouldn't have let this kid stir-fry... He's such a show-off!'
'Damn it, he's practically here to ruin our reputation!'
Who could argue... Su Yun was merely stir-frying a simple, ordinary dish.
The soldiers who were currently digging dirt, one by one, poked their heads over as if possessed by starving ghosts.
"It smells so good! I really want to eat it!"
"I wasn't hungry before, but suddenly... I'm starting to drool a little!"
"My stomach is already rumbling!"
"Have those guys in the cookhouse improved their culinary skills? This food smells incredible!"
The large-pot cooking was being done in an open space within the Military Region.
The aroma couldn't be contained and naturally drifted everywhere on the wind... Before long, all the soldiers who were idle within the Military Region.
Unconsciously, they all densely gathered around the large iron wok!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The rich pork belly was sizzling and rendering fat in the wok, its fragrance spreading for miles around.
The iron ladle, held by Su Yun, seemed to come alive... With every stir-fry and every toss of the wok, the aroma, whether strong or faint, would change...
The soldiers, gathered around the large iron wok, felt the aroma stimulating everyone's taste buds.
Their salivary glands, unable to resist the stimulation, secreted wildly.
Even the Cookhouse Squad Leader, whose culinary skills were superb.
At this moment, he also closed his eyes in enjoyment, inhaling the aroma drifting through the air!
β β [Holy cow! What is going on with this terrifying flow of people?]
β β [Wasn't everyone just digging dirt properly? Why are they all gathered now?]
β β [Is it really that fragrant? Thatβs too exaggerated!]
β β [Holy cow... even Lieutenant Colonel Zheng and Regiment Commander Hu came?]
β β [Wait a minute... those two found a spot directly facing the wind!?]
β β [Brother Su! What exactly did you put in that dish! Just smelling the scent is this addictive!]
The tens of millions of fans and netizens in the livestream room were all incredibly curious.
Because, separated by the phone screen, they could only see everyone's greedy expressions.
But... they couldn't personally experience the flavor!
Swish swish swish... By the time Su Yun poured the third dish into the iron container used for serving the meal.
He looked up... and only then did he realize that everyone was enjoying it with their eyes closed, as if they were addicted!
Su Yun grinned: The skill I exchanged for 5,000 yuan certainly didn't disappoint me!
"Alright! Two dishes, one meat and one vegetable! Plus a spare rib soup!"
"Everyone, grab your bowls and chopsticks and let's eat!"
Whoosh... The moment he said this.
The soldiers who had been greedily enjoying the aroma one second earlier were now sprinting like they were running a hundred-meter dash to seize the best spot in the serving line!
Regiment Commander Hu stared eagerly at the delicacies in the iron container: "Little Comrade Su Yun, don't let your hand shake, I want Braised Pork!"
"Don't worry..."
Su Yun served Regiment Commander Hu a huge, full iron ladle.
Next was Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng: "Brother Su Yun... I'm eating first, give me plenty..."
The soldiers who received their food squatted on the ground, completely satisfied.
One hand held the plate, the other held a steamed bun.
Tasting the meal... the Braised Pork melted in his mouth, that fragrant yet non-greasy flavor... spreading throughout his oral cavity!
The fatty part of the premium pork belly melted like cotton candy, while the lean meat was slightly springy!
One bite of sweetness and fragrance! The aftertaste was endless!
Without a word.
Instantly!
On the open ground, there was a chorus of "ding-ding-dang," "ding-ding-dang" sounds of iron plates being struck by chopsticks!
There was no extra noise... everyone just focused on eating their meal!
... More than ten minutes later.
Zheng Jianfeng, having eaten his fill, sought out Su Yun and said, "Brother Su Yun!"
"How about you don't leave! Come and cook for us in the Military Region!"
"The food you make βall the soldiers say it's delicious!"
They had finished the current meal but were already missing the next one... Su Yun: "..."
He gave a wry smile: "Big Brother Zheng, please don't joke."
"I am a scavenger..."
"Alright then!"
"Then later on, we..."
Rumble!
Before he finished speaking, the excavator that had just started working nearby let out a deafening roar!
The former sweet potato garden suffered another huge collapse... Soldiers shouted.
"This is bad! Two excavators have fallen in!"
"There's a huge pit down there!"
