Chapter 437 Feast
Chapter 437 Feast
...Using barbarians to control barbarians is not only used in military affairs, but also in politics and other aspects, including family affairs. This is the life of politicians. I had to live like this for a while... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin"
"... The reason why you did not arrange for you to attend this surrender ceremony was the idea of General Liehou; I thought it was right. The commander-in-chief of the Navy of the Republic of China accepted the surrender of a commander of the Japanese Third Fleet. Isn't that a downgrade? However, the navy sacrificed a lot this time and was the implementer of the Japanese Eleventh Fleet. Therefore, the general who presided over the surrender ceremony this time had to be sent by the navy, and you would decide the candidate..." Because of Chiang Kai-shek's words, Ouyang Ge was so excited that he did not dare to jump up, and he couldn't help crying in a low voice!
Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Republic of China! The commander-in-chief of the Navy is himself! Ouyang Ge didn't expect happiness to come so quickly. He suddenly became Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and Chen Shaokuan, the Fujian Gang, went to hell, and it was officially announced on the Double Tenth Festival: Ouyang Ge, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Republic of China!
The 11th Japanese Army Team raised the white flag during the air force bombing in the afternoon. Ouyang Ge drove all his shallow water gunboats straight out of the Tongyang area river and pointed at the Japanese destroyer with cannons for more than an hour. The purpose was nothing else, but to let the people on both sides of the Yangtze River watch!
When all the Japanese fleet was disarmed, Ouyang Ge was ordered to fly to Chongqing urgently. Wuhan was in vain. The alleys of the military garrison in China and abroad gathered on both sides of the Yangtze River to watch the spectacular scene of the Japanese fleet being captured. He could only feel it from watching photos and listening to his subordinates' stories in the future.
In addition to Ouyang Ge, Dai Li also rushed back from Wuhan, adding the two daughters of the Kong family, Chen Lifu, Soong Mei-ling, the four major families and the commanders of the three armies of the Republic of China, all arrived!
This is Chiang Kai-shek's family dinner. Chiang Kai-shek asked Cao Xiaomin for dinner and called the two daughters of the Kong family. Unexpectedly, Cao Xiaomin said that he would talk about Japanese food with Kong Lingyi, but this time he showed his skills. As a result, things got bigger and bigger, and a simple meal became a family dinner!
Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, the two daughters of the Kong family, as well as Chen Cheng and his wife, Chen Lifu, Dai Li, Ouyang Ge and others were chatting in the living room, guessing what Cao Xiaomin is doing in the kitchen and talking and laughing, but Cao Xiaomin became the commander-in-chief in the kitchen!
Cao Xiaomin himself knows how to cook. Which traditional family in the sea before traveling through time is not a man who has made housework? After seeing the world for so many years, he said that it would be very simple to make a few dishes that were not available in this era. But he is certainly not the busiest people in the kitchen now. The four guards, the original chef of the Jiang family, and Shen Zui, who had just arrived, were all pointed out by Cao Xiaomin!
Because of his good martial arts, Shen Zui was ordered to work as a volunteer by Cao Xiaomin. He also pointed out that he was necessary. He was sweating heavily and was slapped at the later generations with two bamboo sticks. It is said that only super strong hands can make fish balls; the guards also used sword techniques to show off their skills in scallions and carrots.
As for Cao Xiaomin, he really knows how to make Japanese fish that he made specifically for Kong Lingyi, but he asked himself that the knife skills were far away than others, so he didn't do anything: "You, you, this fish must be cleared. You can't rinse the fish with water later. Before cutting the fish, wash your hands thoroughly and don't let everyone sweat your hands... Remember to cut each piece of fish with one knife and cut it so thin, right, put it in the plate to see if you can see the word "Fu" below through the fish fillet!... Oh, your pumpkin is thick, yes, thinner, don't think that the pumpkin is just cut into large pieces and cooked in a pot... Who asked you to cut the beans into small pieces? Quick, one foot long, cut it again..."
With his ten fingers not touching the spring water, Cao Xiaomin took the baton that had just explained the war situation to Chiang Kai-shek, and the kitchen was as lively as a battlefield. He was intoxicated, and the chefs of the Jiang family frowned and smirked.
However, when the dishes are ready, the chefs are really impressed: General Cao is not built, they are really good at making it!
Cooking is about matching. Cao Xiaomin has seen a lot in later generations, and he can match everything from all over the world. In this time and space, due to transportation issues, most families will not know so much.
Chiang Kai-shek ate lightly, and Cao Xiaomin's meal was mainly vegetables. There were only two main ingredients: fish and shrimp, and some of the most common Jiangxian.
The coconut sauce that was grinded into a paste with Shen's magic skills and milk is good coconut milk. After steaming taro, lotus seeds, sweet potatoes, it is sprinkled with chopped green onion. It is purple, purple, yellow, white, white, green, and green, and the visual effect is very good. Pumpkin slices sprinkled with pepper and sesame oil are served with lettuce and fried lily with black fungus that are also fried but only a little shredded ginger. The tender guarosa with salted egg yolk paste was fried with golden jade white. Because this time and space do not have the soft and tender sweet corn that later generations eat, it was changed by Cao Xiaomin to a golden jade hall with pine nuts and beans... There were ten vegetarian dishes that made Chiang Kai-shek, who advocated his new life, only scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and he was also very excited when he saw it!
As for meat dishes, straw prawns with lemongrass as the main seasoning, pepper and salt sturgeon bones are the most important things; there are also sour soup fish heads, steamed fish, soup fish balls, etc. Of course, the most domineering and most occupying the most is the Japanese fish dish: there are more than a dozen bowls of seasonings alone, such as fried peanut crushed peanuts, sesame paste, soy sauce, raw egg whites, etc. There are special ingredients used to replace them because the Japanese mustard from later generations cannot be found in this era. Many seasonings are something that everyone has never seen before. Now, if you want to say that Cao Xiaomin is really a young man from a foreign pharmacy, I am afraid that he will not believe it!
We didn't dare to focus too much on food at such a banquet called family banquet and actually talking about politics, but when we saw Chiang Kai-shek eating so much, we no longer had to eat. Because of the novelty of the dishes, many very ordinary things, such as long beans and water melons, which were fried with peanuts, and so on, and then poured them in peanuts, and the dishes of southern farmhouses in later generations were wiped out by a few chopsticks.
"If Zu'an is still here, I'm afraid he will be the first confidant! But Liehou still has to practice the Dharma well." Chiang Kai-shek sighed as he ate. Zu'an was Tan Yankai, the number one foodie in the Republic of China. I don't know whether Chiang Kai-shek's words praise Cao Xiaomin's cooking skills or laugh at his Dharma. Everyone burst into laughter, and even Tan Xiang, the orphan of Mr. Tan, could not help laughing.
"I'll say this time, Brother Liehou is definitely the number one foodie. Look, these three scrambled eggs alone can make such different flavors, which is really awesome..." Dai Li also praised. The three scrambled eggs he said were really speechless: one was a slippery egg fried with the tenderest bamboo shoots, the other was a fried egg with small oysters from the beach, and the other was a European-style phoenix egg fried with eggs and shrimps with butter. Originally, it was a taboo for making three dishes at the banquet. However, Cao Xiaomin gathered the three dishes together in a large tray, which became a collection of three special flavors. He also tried to minimize the amount of meat dishes, and satisfied some customers who were not happy with meat.
Kong Lingyi was even more excited because Cao Xiaomin specially created a Yusheng made of Chinese sturgeon for herself. She almost didn't look for anyone except talking to Cao Xiaomin for the whole meal - this is a statement, Cao Xiaomin is mine! Her statement is actually to show someone, her sister.
This is the effect Cao Xiaomin wants: there is only one way to put Kong Lingjun in pursuit of himself, and use a character she has to give in to - Kong Lingyi. It is simple to put Kong Lingyi aside in the future. This is a light person who likes to put himself high and does not like to regent. As long as he reveals a little meaning, he would rather let go because his superman's self-esteem is damaged.
This meal made everyone focus on food unexpectedly. Some content that was originally planned to talk at the dinner table was shelved, and the meal was always joking. For example, Chen Cheng joked about Cao Xiaomin, saying that Cao Xiaomin would simply let him be an imperial chef for Chiang Kai-shek; while Dai Li was there to instigate "" In the future, Cao Xiaomin might be kept by his wife if he married any woman. It is hard to say that even the phone number of the committee member would be too high to communicate, etc.... Of course, there are also depressed people, namely Kong Lingjun, who has already regarded Cao Xiaomin as his own, and Soong Mei-ling, who has always been worried about the two daughters competing for husbands; of course, everyone can only make a smile today.
It was not until after the meal that Chiang Kai-shek finally brought the topic back to the main thing: "Tomorrow, Liehou will go east, be careful of everything; by the way, although northern Jiangsu is important, it is always a base behind the enemy, and it is not too urgent; do you really not worry at all in the battlefield in Jiangnan?"
Ignoring the consolidation of the base behind enemy lines, not seeking the development of the base areas, and just letting the guerrilla areas cooperate with large-scale operations, this is your failure! Cao Xiaomin sighed in his heart, but he did not reveal anything else in front of Chiang Kai-shek, but just answered according to Chiang Kai-shek's wishes: "Everything in the war in Jiangnan is going as planned. Other lie marquis cannot guarantee it, but there is still great hope to win a great victory in Jiangnan that is not inferior to General Yu Jiansheng. Now it is just beginning, everything will be done according to the deployment before the war..."
The battle started in Jiangnan, and the Japanese 116th Division and the 119th Division attacked fiercely on the entire line. The first ones were the 23rd Army, the 16th Army and the 74th Army.
Isn’t you Bai Chongxi just going to destroy three Japanese divisions? I’ll see if you can destroy all the four Japanese divisions in Jiangnan. Cao Xiaomin has already planned to join the two Japanese permanent divisions of the First Division and the Ninth Division that he will come to the future and have to attack the disabled Central China Front Army!
