Chapter 418: Blind Date (Part 2)
Chapter 418 Blind date (Part 2)
(...Whenever I eat any feast, I will think of the leftovers in the Suzhou military camp. In my heart, it was the best meal I had in my life, and it was eaten with my brothers... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")
Because of the scenes that everyone saw just now, many generals who were close to Cao Xiaomin probably understood the ambiguousness. When arranging their seats, they deliberately took passive action, and did not fight for a seat as chairman because they wanted to gather with Cao Xiaomin. When Cao Xiaomin sat down, he felt like attending Chiang Kai-shek's family banquet - there were Soong Mei-ling and the Kong sisters sitting next to him!
It's really strange. Although my hairstyle and outfit are always gossiped about behind my back, if others say they promote their short hair, they may not be happy. They may even lose their temper and blame others for imitating themselves... However, when Cao Xiaomin praised his hair like this, Kong Lingjun actually felt like he wanted to be a role model in the entire army!
Even if I don’t look down on those stinky soldiers, who in my heart is not proud of conquering soldiers who symbolize national force? I am going to become the standard of female soldiers! Kong Lingjun’s heart for no reason was filled with excitement and happiness, and even the eyes of looking at Cao Xiaomin became more enthusiastic.
He is not like a soldier! Kong Lingyi felt a little heartbeat after sitting down: in the past, when other generals were introduced to him by their elders in formal occasions, they would always look at him with a little flattery or uneasy, and some would look straight at him; but this famous general was different. While he followed Soong Mei-ling's introduction, he met him very politely while looking at him, his eyes were so harmonious, and it felt like a big brother was paying attention to a little sister. She liked to read popular novels, and she actually had the urge to impose him into the male protagonist of the novel... It seems that there are many male protagonists in literary and artistic novels, and he is not a vulgar soldier at all. He is the male protagonist of both civil and military in the novel!
"My little brother Xiaomin doesn't like meat, and he prefers to eat river and lake food, so the main dishes of this meal are all aquatic products, specifically to make up for Xiaomin..." Dai Li turned the topic to the dishes and began to liven up the atmosphere.
"Actually, I am a soldier with a strong sword. I don't care about what food and drink. As long as I don't feel hungry, I will be satisfied... At that time, Brother Dai will take action faster than me to let me learn and learn. Otherwise, I won't even know how to eat, then this person will lose his mind..." Cao Xiaomin was not joking or humble. Although he looked like he was joking, he was really moaning: he had six or seven dishes on the dishes he brought up on could not tell what it was!
Does he really not even eat? Kong Lingyi has always paid attention to enjoyment and sometimes looks down on those who don’t enjoy it, but at this time she seemed very worried that Cao Xiaomin would really not eat some rare delicacies.
"Brother, you are so modest. Who doesn't know where you fight from the south, west and north? Wherever you fight, I see, you'll be the best at eating..." Dai Li immediately took over the topic: "But, I'm now the pillar of the country. It's better to try it if it's poisonous..." After that, Dai Li emphasized to the maid while introducing each dish, he should first give it to the maid to give it to himself first and taste it before he can add it to others. He said it interestingly and his expression vividly, pretending to be a greedy cat, which made everyone on the table laugh.
It turns out that Cao Xiaomin grew up in Shanghai, so he knew a little about the Yangtze River fresh fish. Although he had never eaten it since childhood, he had never eaten it. However, he had not seen it on the table today. However, he had not had any familiar Yangtze River fresh fish on the table, which really made him a little strange. How could he know that in later generations, all kinds of fish called the Yangtze River three fresh fish and four fresh fish were the most common fish on the Yangtze River in this pollution-free era, and they were mainly produced in the lower reaches. Now, the autumn season is not right, of course, so the Yangtze River is not on the table, but the Yangtze River water system is large enough, and each section has a different good river fresh fish!
Cao Xiaomin, a variety of Yangtze River fish introduced by Dai Li, had never heard of it before! When he introduced a ** (that is what people call Chinese white-fin dolphins now) and Cao Xiaomin was even more surprised: Could it be that there were so many Yangtze River species at this time than in later generations!?
During the meal, Kong Lingyi, who was sitting at Cao Xiaomin, talked with him the most. The topics that Kong Lingyi raised were either European and American literature, art masters or popular novels, and sometimes they were expressed in English throughout the whole paragraph. Cao Xiaomin didn't want to have him, and in the atmosphere, he spoke English to her, and sometimes when he talked about some issues in China and Japan, he also spoke Japanese in a paragraph. He didn't know that this was Kong Lingyi's temptation: the highest level of the Military Control Commission has always been
It is suspected that Cao Xiaomin was not from a foreign company but a patriotic overseas Chinese who returned. However, because Cao Xiaomin's hometown had been killed by the Japanese, they could not find anything if they wanted to investigate. As for some distant relatives of the Cao family, they all identified him as someone from their own family, regardless of whether they recognized Cao Xiaomin or not. The investigation was stopped after Chiang Kai-shek learned about this, and he was afraid that these investigations would affect Cao Xiaomin's work; however, rumors about Cao Xiaomin's origin spread wildly.
Kong Lingyi herself resisted the marriage arranged by her parents and did not like military and political people; however, she was not in the rank of a patriotic overseas Chinese who had received a higher Western education! When she mentioned some Western eating habits and Japanese dishes through dishes, she found that Cao Xiaomin was not unfamiliar with these, and she even made a position for Cao Xiaomin in her heart: patriotic overseas Chinese who traveled to Europe, the United States or Japan may be more likely to be Japan. In order to avoid suspicion, he returned to China to serve the country with another identity - he was a top-notch person!
Everyone has the desire to eat, and Cao Xiaomin is no exception. Although he is polite and elegant in this meal, he actually wishes the maid would put all the remaining things on each plate into his own bowl! But looking at the leftover dishes, he suddenly felt his nose sore...
At this moment, Dai Li raised the topic again: "I'll say, my brother is actually the best at eating. The Japanese flavors he just talked to the eldest lady, I don't think it's ordinary home-cooked food... Come on, brother, do you tell me what you ate so many places, what is the most unforgettable meal you ate? "
Maybe it was because he had been following the rules for too long, or maybe he was really touched, Cao Xiaomin suddenly closed his eyes seriously for a while, and after enduring the bitterness, he began to speak...
"The most delicious meal I have ever had in Suzhou. There are many delicious foods, including roast duck, cut chicken, pork elbow, and some are not cooked until the heat. The superiors took a bite and threw it on the table. Some were stained with ash... There are also many delicious foods, including champagne, white wine, and beer, which are from the German Aifu brand... That day was a banquet set up by the Ministry of Military Affairs. While everyone was drunk, I used my first wool-shirt uniform in my life to wrap all the leftovers. Later, I had a meal with my brothers in the military camp again. It was really delicious..." Cao Xiaomin said, his eyes red: "The porridge I ate in the morning tasted very good, and the brothers were reluctant to throw away the bones they had finished and used them to make porridge. It tasted so good..."
Cao Xiaomin's table was filled with silence on the table next to him. The silence spread. Suddenly, the banquet was so quiet that even mosquitoes could hear it.
"The best meal I have ever eaten in my life is that meal. People who have eaten that meal, and people who have eaten the most delicious meal in the world, I can count only five of them in one breath: Me, Li Tianhao, Zhang Jingyue, Liu Qing, 'machete'... The other brothers are still in Suzhou, and they are waiting for me to kill back and have another meal..." There was no drinking, but Cao Xiaomin clearly felt the taste of beer that night...
The two ladies of the Kong family, who never cared about the life and death of the frontline soldiers, actually accompanied Cao Xiaomin's eyes red at this moment!
Something happened! Soong Mei-ling was secretly anxious: Originally, she and Chiang Kai-shek thought the same thing. Both the ladies of the Kong family were people with eyes on their foreheads. Although Cao Xiaomin was excellent, they could not easily look down on it? But for political needs, they first met Cao Xiaomin, and then tempted them. In any case, they could just let one of them agree to the marriage... But something unexpected happened to both Soong Mei-ling and Chiang Kai-shek: it was obvious that the two sisters with strange and completely different personalities fell in love with Cao Xiaomin at first sight!
If it were someone else, she would only feel disgusted when talking about these dirty things, but at this moment, Kong Lingyi felt heartbroken: he had suffered so much on the front line, and even had to eat other people's saliva! Her heartache and ached faintly... At this moment, she actually remembered novels such as Robin Hood Green Forest hero, the kind of friendship between men she could not understand before, she suddenly felt that she could understand...
"Remember, no matter how long your hands are, don't stretch into Cao Xiaomin's army. He is the King of Hell. He really dares to kill people!...Don't think that if you are strong in the background, you dare to do anything. Let me tell you, even if it is me, Minister He will not dare to offend Cao Xiaomin easily! No matter who dares to harm him, he will have to live carefully all his life. Maybe when the officers and soldiers who saved the Yangtze River by him, the officers and soldiers who killed him, or even a beggar who was saved by him on the road, they might pounce on you and kill you..." One day, Kong Xiangxi said when he was educating several young people in the study room who worked in the military department in the military department suddenly rang in Kong Lingjun's ears... This man, he actually has the ability to let so many people work for him without a penny!?
Suddenly, Kong Lingjun felt that the man with red eyes around him had a domineering aura that swallowed the mountains and rivers. She had always admired the domineering spirit of pursuit!
