C535 Cry for good food

Ye Qiu was shocked, and so was Pang Chaoyun on the table beside them. The experienced rookies were also shocked.

It was already past 10 pm and the sky was already dark. There were only dozens of torches and the kerosene lanterns on the tables that lit up the entire registration area.

In a night with such poor visibility, Tian Erdan actually managed to catch a fly with one hand. Furthermore, the expression on his face after being hit didn't seem to matter at all.

"You, you, you, you … "Why do you have such good eyes?" Ye Qiu was stuttering.

Ma Hui, who was at the side, said, "Sir, Erbao Ge's eyes are great. Others can't see the ships in the distance, but Erbao Ge will definitely be able to tell them apart …"

Ye Qiu raised his hand to stop the horse from turning back. "Don't say anything. Let me ask him …." Tian Erdan, did you squash that fly? "If you're not dead, release him. Let's catch him again later. I'll take a look …"

Second Egg did not say anything. He let go and saw that the unlucky fly was still alive. When he saw that the pressure in his surroundings was gone, he started to fly dizzily.

Second Egg let the fly fly fly four or five times, and when the little bastard got closer and closer to normal, he grabbed the fly with a flash.

"Good boy, you still have the ability to do that?" Ye Qiu threw down the pen and ran over to the master who was making the soup. Not long after, he grabbed a handful of the imported canned food.

With a bang, ten cans of Iron Skin canned beef smashed onto the table. Soon after, Ye Qiu fished out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up for Second Egg to see.

"Open your eyes wide and look at the cigarette. Don't blink. If you can last one cigarette, I'll give you a can of meat. Two bottles will make two bottles. I want to see how long you can last without blinking …"

"Huh?" Second Egg let go of the dizzy fly and flew out of their line of sight. "This, this, this …" What is this thing? There's even a code word on the metal lump? "

"Blame me. I know you guys haven't eaten this before …." After saying that, he pulled out a shiny dagger from his waist and stabbed the tin can.

In 1800, the British invented tin cans, and in 1847 the Americans invented the pot making machines, which enabled the production of large quantities of canned food.

During the Civil War, canned food had become the main variety of supplies for the army. When the army of the Great Qing Dynasty had to carry the wheat and rice to war, the soldiers of the European and American armies could already enjoy the canned food.

When Ye Qiu's slash landed, a strong beef smell wafted through the air. This tempting smell was like a little demon entering everyone's noses. At that time, several people's stomachs had already begun growling.

The group of Green Battalion got up and had a meal of porridge in the morning. They only divided the bats into two, and after a day of struggle, they had already used up all their energy. Adding to that, they had not eaten meat for half a year.

Bang bang bang … Knife after knife, the entire can was quickly pried up. Large chunks of beef with meat jelly hanging on it were presented to everyone.

"Watch carefully, the authentic American canned beef, once you open the jar you can eat it, I will test you in a blink of an eye, one cigarette for one jar of canned beef, do you dare?"

In those days, the children of poor families could not resist the temptation of eating meat. They would often only eat meat once a year, let alone beef. Since ancient times, Chinese people were unwilling to eat beef.

Er'dan's eyes went straight to the point when he saw canned beef's mouth open. He didn't even look at the cigarette before looking at the meat. "Mother …" "Why is the meat so fragrant …" Gulugulu. He ran back and forth on the train in his stomach.

"Ai ai ai …" "Look at the incense burning in the cigarette. Don't look at the meat that's staring at it. It doesn't count …" Ye Qiu pinched Erzi's nose to straighten his face.

Next was the moment to create a miracle. This Tian Erdan was amazing, his eyes stared unwaveringly at the cigarette in Ye Qiu's hand, not even blinking a single time.

"Don't blink, let me light another …" Ye Qiu sucked in a mouthful of the cigarette butt, then immediately placed one cigarette in front of Erye's face. Erye worked hard without blinking in the time it took to finish a cigarette.

Ye Qiu finally found a treasure. He lit a cigarette, then pushed a can of food over. When he got back, he took off his clothes and wrapped up the metal lump.

"Erbao Ge, hold on, don't blink …" Not long later, the surrounding Green Battalion started to cheer for Erye. "Don't blink your eyes.

One after another, until they reached the fifth cigarette, Tian Erdan could no longer hold on. His eyes became dry and he subconsciously blinked.

"Aiya …" "Only five, only five …" Second Egg looked at the can in Ma Qi's arms in regret, but when he looked at Ye Qiu, he was petrified with fear.

"Abnormal, you bastard, you're abnormal …" Ye Qiu suddenly slammed the table, "Here's all of this for you …." "These cans are all yours. From today onwards, you will be my sniper. You and I are definitely going to …"

During these few days, the sneaky fighting capabilities of the snipers had long become a legend in Maylor's army. They were the elite soldiers among the elite soldiers, the mysterious troops that the eight banners and the Green Camp soldiers could not understand even if they wanted to.

The best Gun, the best equipment, and even food were all specially provided. The ordinary New Army only ate instant rice, flour, meat, and vegetables, but this group of snipers could already enjoy special rations, which were all imported goods. Not to mention that these snipers had a special allowance in addition to their normal salary.

"Do it, I'll do it …" "Of course I'll do such a good thing. I'm not afraid of hardships and tiredness. If I can't do it well, then hit me …" Happiness came so suddenly that even an idiot started crying.

Pang Chaoyun's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. "Stinky brat, you finally found a treasure, this is the material for being a natural born sniper …"

This night was a miraculous night for Tian Erdan and Ma Hui, as they were destined to change their lives. Not only did they eat beef imported from the United States, they even received a brand-new identity.

After registering, they sat around the campfire and started roasting the tin cans. Soon after, a rich aroma of meat wafted out from the cans.

The steamed buns with big white noodles were enough, they could steam the rice as they pleased, and the hot soup made from tofu, kelp, and dried prawns was casually drunk. At that moment, Erye and Ma Hui felt like the first half of their lives were hell. If the new army continued to eat so well, they would have to work with them even if they didn't have any salary.

There were now over a hundred bonfires lit in the open space of the special region. Each bonfire was surrounded by a group of Green Battalion s who were eating ravenously, as if they were their reincarnations.

Ye Qiu and Pang Chaoyun were also done with their registration. When the last soldier rushed towards the fire, Ye Qiu and Pang Chaoyun could finally rest for a bit.

The two of them did not eat anything too greasy. Each of them carried a bowl of seafood soup and sat by the Ergon Horse's side. As soon as they sat down, they realized that something was wrong. Do you think this bowl of soup is not salty enough?

"What's going on with all of you?" The two of them asked in confusion.

"Sir, ever since we were soldiers, we have never eaten anything so good …" "Wuu!" Tears streamed down the young man's face.

Tian Erdan let out a long sigh, "Three years ago, when I was still serving as a soldier and eating food in TIANJIN Wei, I caught up to Maylor and invited him to dinner. "Finally, I was rewarded with several plates of leftovers. Aiya, mother, there's even a big prawn ball in there. I scooped up a lot of rice and mixed it with vegetable soup. The big prawn ball is placed on top of the pile of rice …"

"I used my eyes to look at this big prawn ball and ate three big bowls of rice. I only ate that prawn after I could not support myself any longer …" Second Egg wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said with a wry smile.

"I've only eaten it once in my life. I've remembered the taste all my life, and I've never eaten anything so good before …" Today is the second time in my life that I have eaten so much, so well … "

Ye Qiu and Pang Chaoyun were both stunned. The two of them might look like soldiers, but they were the new Prime Minister's army, and both of them had merchant families backing them. They did business in the Tanggu and the Ryukyu, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to study at a young age.

The family had asked them to join the army, one was to become an official under the Prime Minister, the family would have more connections, and the other was a soldier under the Prime Minister's command. Their status was so high that even the Elementary Scholar wouldn't dare humiliate them, and the light blue military uniform was a sign of status.

Earning money would bring about face, it would also help in the family business, so Xiao Letian's new army would never lack high quality soldiers.

Ye Qiu and Pang Chaoyun had never experienced such a miserable life. The heartache in Er'zi's words made them want to cry.

"Ai …" I've heard that your Green Camp has suffered greatly in the past, but only today did I realize that it was so bitter that you can't even eat meat.

Ye Qiu sighed, shaking his head as he grabbed a few cans of iron from his master. This time, the Green Battalion were even more dumbfounded when they opened them, "Buddha, what is this place? "Why does it smell like peaches …"

"Brothers, let's eat. I'll treat you guys!" This is called a canned fruit, and inside is a peach … Why are you looking at me like that? "It's really a peach. It's not bad, it really can be eaten …"

Ye Qiu really was a bad guy. After the soldiers ate the sweet peaches, a sob came from the bonfire and everyone cried.

Tian Erdan and Ma Hui both said at the same time, "You guys are really bullying me! We were both raised by father and mother, why is your luck so good? To be able to eat such delicious peaches in the autumn … "

Suddenly, Tian Erdan rubbed his eyes, sat upright and said to Ye Qiu and Luo Li, "Seniors, I am a boor, but I want to live and understand … …" Tell me the truth, is Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea the Third Prince of the Dragon King? Don't you have a treasure pot in your hands? "

"How about you all be so rich …"
