Chapter 536 Cooking
Lu Hongxuan quickly brought in two large bags of things.
Others gathered around after seeing this.
"Captain Lu, what are you talking about?"
"Hot pot base and some dishes! My wife said to give everyone some extra food!"
"Is this the mushroom that grew from the mushroom spawn that Sister-in-law Sunuo bought? It looks so good!"
"Are you planning to cook all this in the hot pot?"
"The bags here are full of sausages and bacon. There must be several kilograms of them!"
"Great!"
Lu Hongxuan didn't say much, and walked to the sink. He poured the mushrooms into the vegetable washing basin, and put the bacon and sausages into another basin.
Instructor Fang and Deputy Company Commander Cheng came over to help wash the vegetables.
Although the chef and his team were resting today, he still stood by and watched. If there was anything wrong, he would point it out. The rice had already been cooked under his arrangement. Now it was time to cook the dishes. Each company was arranged to cook about two dishes. Su Nuo planned to cook a hot pot and stir-fry meat with green peppers.
The other dishes were cooked by the cadres of the second and third companies or the wives of the soldiers.
Chen Mei was going to cook a big plate of chicken. Chen Yue was helping out. Fan Linlin was going to cook green peppers, dried tofu and meat. This dish didn't require much skill. She was already pretty good at it. But she had never cooked for hundreds of people. Deputy Company Commander An was helping out.
Li Li and her friends from the second company were planning to stir-fry shredded potatoes and stir-fried cabbage and meat.
There were many people helping out, and the vegetables that needed to be prepared were quickly washed and cut.
Originally, Lu Hongxuan wanted to cook the hot pot himself. He didn't want his wife to be too tired. But seeing that other wives in other companies were cooking, he knew that his wife would definitely not agree to him cooking. So he also helped out.
Soon Sunuo heated up the pot, put vegetable oil into the pot, and then put the unpacked hot pot base into it and stir-fried it quickly.
Lu Hongxuan helped put in the garlic, ginger, and dried red peppers. There were also peppercorns and other things. Soon the aroma spread out. "Hey..." The kitchen operation room was full of the strong aroma of hot pot. And the aroma also spread outside.
"Is the kitchen cooking hot pot today? Why does it smell so good?"
"It smells so good! Looks like we'll have hot pot today!"
"Is it boiled fish or hot pot?"
"I think it's boiled fish. The boiled fish that the chef cooked last time was so delicious!"
"I think it's hot pot. How can boiled fish be so spicy?"
"Didn't they say the kitchen staff was on break today? The people cooking in the kitchen are the cadres and the sisters-in-law!"
"I think this hot pot must have been cooked by Captain Lu's sister-in-law! Didn't the chef say that Captain Lu's sister-in-law Sunuo cooks hot pot very well?"
"Yes, didn't the chef bring back a big pot of hot pot last time? The smell is the same as this!"
"I feel like drooling when I smell this fragrance now!"
“This smells so good!”
"Didn't the company just say that Captain Lu brought in a lot of mushrooms, sausages and bacon? Then we are in for a treat today!"
"I must eat an extra bowl of rice today."
While Chen Mei was frying two dishes, the hot pot cooked by Sunuo next to her smelled so delicious. And for those of them who didn't eat spicy food, the smell was a bit choking. Tears came out for a moment.
"This is too much. Just to show off your cooking skills, you make the place so messy!" Chen Mei and Su Nuo were cooking at a distance from each other.
