Dai Xuan shook his head." I'm fine. Class monitor, are we going to eat this for dinner?"”
Ye Yong replied," Of course not. We often have pork to eat. I heard from Squad Leader Xu that the pork was delivered late today. There will be braised pork to eat soon."”
As soon as Squad Leader Ye finished speaking, two cooks brought out two pots of braised pork for everyone to share.
Dai Xuan asked Squad Leader Ye while eating the braised pork,""Class monitor, when is the break? I want to go out and get some meat to eat and improve the food in the company.”
"The day after tomorrow is Sunday. How do you want to cook the meat?”
"I'm going up the mountain to hunt. I'm best at hunting. There are so many mountains around here, so there must be a lot of prey.”
"Are you sure? Were wild beasts that easy to kill? There are no guns here for you to hunt with.”Squad Leader Ye looked at Dai Xuan suspiciously.
"Then can I lie to you? If I can go out after dinner, I'll go to the nearby mountain to set up a trap. I'll be able to catch them tomorrow morning.”Dai Xuan patted his chest and promised.
After the meal, Ye Yong took Dai Xuan to apply for leave from Commander Luo. Originally, this kind of thing would not be approved. However, Commander Luo heard from Wang Hanchao that Dai Xuan was very good at hunting. In addition, the company did lack meat to eat. Eating more meat was more beneficial to the physical training of the recruits, so he agreed. However, for safety reasons, he asked Squad Leader Ye to go with him.
Squad Leader Ye took a flashlight and two daggers from somewhere and gave one to Dai Xuan. The two of them left the camp and walked towards the nearest mountain.
It wasn't even seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was still bright. The camp was only a few hundred meters away from the nearest mountain. The two of them reached the foot of the mountain in a few minutes. Dai Xuan had already released his divine sense to lock onto the target. He pretended to look up the mountain, turned his head to Squad Leader Ye, and said," Squad leader, I've found a few prey. You follow behind me, I'll run over and see if I can catch them." After saying that, he ran up the mountain."Be careful."
Squad Leader Ye also quickly climbed up the mountain. The mountain wasn't very high, only about 300 meters. He climbed it in less than ten minutes. When Squad Leader Ye climbed to the top of the mountain, he saw Dai Xuan dragging something back. He quickly ran over and saw that it was a wild boar.
Squad Leader Ye smiled and quickly ran over to help. The two of them dragged the big wild boar that was still unconscious back.
The residential area of the 7th Company of the Recruit Company was the innermost part of the camp near the west wall. The two of them carried the prey and spent half an hour to return to the camp gate. The soldier standing guard at the gate stared at the big wild boar. Squad Leader Ye knew them. After greeting them, the two of them entered the camp and sneaked back to the Seventh Company's residence along the wall.
In the back kitchen of the cafeteria of the Seventh Company, the class leader of the cooking class, Xu Jiaocai, was leading four soldiers to clean the kitchen. When Class Leader Xu heard someone calling for him outside, he put down his things and walked out of the kitchen to take a look. It was Class Leader Ye. Then, he saw the big wild boar on the ground. Oh my god! He looked at Squad Leader Ye and gave him a thumbs up. Then he ran back to the kitchen and shouted to the soldiers,""Hurry up and boil water to kill the pig!”
Immediately, two people began to boil water in a big pot. Squad Leader Xu led the other two cooks to let the wild boar bleed. He did not let go of the pig's blood either. He took a basin and put it in.
Commander Luo also rushed over after hearing the news. After he saw the big wild boar, he gave Dai Xuan a thumbs up and said,"Chief Wang didn't lie to me. You really have a way of hunting. You caught a fierce prey so quickly.”
Then, Commander Luo instructed Squad Leader Xu to cook a few dishes that he was good at and bring them to his office after he was done. He wanted to invite the regiment commander over to eat meat. After giving his instructions, Commander Luo left after looking around for a while.
The five people in the kitchen divided their work and quickly shaved the wild boar's fur. Squad Leader Xu first cleaned the wild boar's internal organs, stomach, and intestines, then cut out a piece of streaky pork and began to cook a few dishes for Commander Luo.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Squad Leader Xu had prepared a few dishes and brought them to Commander Luo's office. Commander Luo also called Dai Xuan and Squad Leader Ye over.
There were already three people sitting in Commander Luo's office. Apart from Commander Luo, there was also Deputy Commander Wang Xingguo. Dai Xuan had never seen the other person before.
Commander Luo saw the two of them and called them in. Deputy Commander Wang Xingguo looked at Dai Xuan and said,""Your name is Dai Xuan, right? Commander Luo said that you killed a wild boar in half an hour. I didn't believe it at first, but it was true when I came over to take a look. Not bad. You have to continue to carry it forward in the future. Take advantage of your free time to go up the mountain and kill a few big wild boars to improve the food in the army.”
Dai Xuan saluted Wang Xingguo and said,"Captain, my name is Dai Xuan. I fought the wild boar with Squad Leader Ye.”
Squad Leader Ye also saluted the three leaders.
Wang Xingguo waved at them and said,"Alright, alright, you two can sit down. It's a pity that we're not resting today, so we can't drink. Later, we'll have tea instead of wine!”
Dai Xuan and Squad Leader Ye sat down. There were five sets of bowls and chopsticks on the coffee table, as well as four large dishes. One was stir-fried intestines, one was braised pork, and the other two were pork tripes and hot and sour shredded potatoes.
Since everyone was present, they picked up their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat. They couldn't drink alcohol, so Dai Xuan felt that something was missing when he ate. However, this was the rule in the army, so he couldn't insist on drinking alcohol.
Wang Xingguo said as he ate," Old Sun, there are nearly a thousand new recruits in our teaching regiment. Now that the training intensity is high, we need a lot of meat. Now, all aspects of the division are tense. It seems that we have to strengthen our self-reliance. I saw that Young Dai is so good at catching prey, so I specially approved him to use his free time to go to the mountains to catch some wild animals. The soldiers are training so intensely, so we have to prepare a good meal. What do you think?"”
Old Sun was the political commissar of the Teaching Regiment. The regiment commander was not at home today, so Company Commander Luo called the two of them over. As for the battalion commander and the battalion instructor, they were not at home either. They were fighting with the Vietnamese at the border.
Old Sun picked up a piece of braised pork and ate it. He nodded and said,"I have no objections, but if it doesn't affect the training and ensure safety, we can go hunting. When we go, bring a few people and a gun.”
The two leaders agreed. Dai Xuan found a job on his first day as a soldier. Except for wild boars, there weren't many larger animals nearby. If it was to ensure that the seventh company ate meat every day, it wouldn't be a problem. If the other recruits were included, the wild boars nearby wouldn't be able to hold on for long even if nearly a thousand people ate. Dai Xuan still wanted to find a way to get the cows out of the space to eat.
Dai Xuan thought for a moment and said to Wang Xingguo and Political Commissar Sun,"Two leaders, there are thousands of people in the regiment. Just relying on the nearby prey won't solve the problem. I used to sell cattle. I can get dozens of cattle to improve the food for the troops. I don't have to give money to donate to the troops.”
Wang Xingguo's eyes widened." There's such a thing? This is too embarrassing. The army took your things for free. It's really unreasonable. Old Sun, what do you think?”
Political Commissar Sun nodded." If Young Dai is willing, of course, this is no problem. Supporting the construction of the army is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen. When the time comes, we can just give Young Dai a silk banner."”
Dai Xuan waved his hand and said," There's no need for a silk banner. It's just a few dozen cows. I'm off on Sunday the day after tomorrow. I'll go and fetch them back." He only needed to feed them for a period of time and kill them while feeding them.”
Wang Xingguo and Political Commissar Sun looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. If they could find a large amount of meat to supplement, they would be able to train more qualified soldiers and complete the tasks assigned to them by their leaders.
Commissar Sun said to Dai Xuan," Comrade Dai, thank you for your support to the army. But you have to do what you can for this matter. It's not easy for you to raise cows."”
Dai Xuan nodded." It's fine. It's just a few dozen cows. I sold more than 2,000 last year."”
Commander Luo was shocked." So you're not a millionaire?"”
Dai Xuan shook his head and said,"I'm not considered a millionaire. I've already donated it."”
The few of them were speechless when they heard this. More than 2,000 cows would cost at least five to six million, and you donated all of them? Then it wouldn't be a big deal if you supported the army with a few dozen more.
Dai Xuan and Squad Leader Ye left after eating for less than half an hour. The bugle call was about to blow, so they had to go back and rest.
At 5:30 in the morning, the wake-up call sounded in the camp. The sleepy recruits were woken up by their respective squad leaders. The recruits of the 7th Company's 6th Squad were also led by Squad Leader Ye to line up and gather at the 7th Company's position in the field.
Commander Luo looked at the nine rows of soldiers and shouted,""Attention, look right, look forward, and count off.”
“12345……99”
"Reporting to Company Commander, the 7th Company has 99 recruits. 99 have arrived.”The squad leader of the first squad, who was standing in the first row, ran out to report to the company commander.
" Comrades, today is the first day of training. The intense recruit training will begin soon. Everyone, you have to change your mindset. You are no longer ordinary people, but glorious revolutionary soldiers. Soldiers should not be afraid of hardship and tiredness. You should obey orders. For today's morning exercise, we will run for an hour first. After running, we will wash up and tidy up the house. Now, listen to my command..."
Under the leadership of Company Commander Luo, the 7th Company of recruits ran out of the camp and ran to a larger field near the camp for training. This field was about 50,000 square meters in size. The 7th Company ran in circles around the periphery of the field. The sky had already begun to brighten. There were several companies training on the field, and most of them were running. There were waves of shouts of " 1234 ".
After running for an hour, the team was brought back to the camp. People nowadays were generally more hardworking. Everyone performed well and did not collapse from exhaustion.
After washing up and tidying up, they lined up for breakfast at the company canteen.
