Firstly, there was no meat or fish in the army's food. Secondly, it was a big pot of rice. Naturally, there was little oil and water. It was bland and tasteless. But to these rough men who had trained hard all day, this bland and tasteless food was the only way to maintain their strength and life!
Hence, the empty space outside the kitchen was filled with the sound of food being eaten. Other than Cheng Chumo, no one else complained that the food was not tasty!
Although Li Zexuan's family was extremely wealthy in this life, and he lived a life of luxury, he wasn't a pampered young master who couldn't endure hardships. After all, in his previous life, he was a village boy through and through. When he was young, he suffered a lot. Therefore, although the military food was bland and tasteless, to him, it was still barely edible!
During the day, although he did not train for the whole day like Cheng Chumo, but he still had to observe the training situation of each battalion and learn the training methods of each battalion. These were also very physically and mentally draining. After a whole day, his stomach was not light!
"Field Officer Sun, why are you here today?"
Just as everyone was "burying their heads in eating", Li Zexuan suddenly heard the cook who had served them food earlier speak up.
"Why can't I be here? Get me a bowl of food! "
The person who had come was Sun Zhiping. Facing the cook's surprise, he did not say much and directly handed over the bowl of food in his hands.
"Eh … Yes! Field Officer Sun! "
The cook was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly took the bowl of food and bent over to get some for Sun Zhiping.
"Haha! Join the army, Chumo, Bao Lin, you don't mind if I eat with you right? "
After a while, Sun Zhiping walked over to Li Zexuan with a bowl of food and said with a smile.
"Hmph! This is Field Officer Sun's territory. If Field Officer Sun wants to come, who would dare to object? "
Before Li Zexuan could say anything, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but speak first, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
This guy did not get to eat lunch and was still angry. After all, in the Black Armored Troops, they only had meat in the afternoon. He had missed out on lunch and would not be able to make up for it at night. It was really a huge loss!
"You brat, can't food shut your mouth?"
Li Zexuan glared at Cheng Chumo, then looked at Sun Zhiping and said, "Zhiping, since you're here, let's eat together!"
"Thank you for joining the army!"
Sun Zhiping smiled. He did not take Cheng Chumo's mockery to heart. In other words, he had a general impression of Cheng Chumo's character before this.
"I heard from that guy's tone that you didn't eat here often, Zhiping?"
Li Zexuan asked as Sun Zhiping squatted down.
Although he had listened to Li Jing's military books for most of the day, there were still many things he did not understand about the military. If he did not understand, he could just ask!
Sun Zhiping replied as he ate, "The generals in the army usually have their meals alone. The people in the kitchen will send the food over after it's done!"
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up and said, "Doesn't that mean that Field Officer Sun can eat meat every meal?"
This fellow did not like to eat meat before, but he was so tired on his first day in the army camp. If he did not eat meat, how could he survive on a vegetarian diet? So when he heard Sun Zhiping's words, he immediately became excited, completely forgetting that he had mocked Sun Zhiping earlier!
"That's not true! Actually, the meals of the generals in the army are similar to yours. They only have meat in the afternoon. The only difference is that the food is more exquisite, there is more food, and there is no need to queue for food! "
Sun Zhiping shook his head and said.
"Oh! I didn't expect the meals of the Black Armored Troops to be so mediocre! "
Cheng Chumo's face was filled with disappointment when he heard this, and he muttered.
Sun Zhiping thought for a moment and said, "Chumo, today is different from the past. Now, all the soldiers in the capital are nervously training and preparing for war. The consumption of grain, vegetables, and meat everywhere is an astronomical figure. It is not easy for the imperial court to guarantee that the soldiers have a meal of meat every day. We can't ask for more!"
At this time, Li Zexuan was almost done with his meal. Hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Zhiping is right. Right now, we're only preparing the army for war. When the imperial court attacks the prairie one day, we'll need more food! No one knows how long this war will last, so it is not wrong to be frugal now! "
"Oh!"
Cheng Chumo replied. He probably felt that Li Zexuan's words made sense, so he lowered his head and ate without saying another word!
"Field Officer, after today's observation, do you have any thoughts on the training of the Black Armored Troops in the future?"
Sun Zhiping took two mouthfuls of food and wolfed it down like Cheng Chumo. Then, he raised his head and asked.
Li Zexuan put down his bowl and moved a rock over to sit on it. He thought for a moment and said, "I saw the training of the soldiers in the morning.
"I've seen the soldiers' training during the day. Generally speaking, the Black Armored Troops' training should be the same as before. But now that the soldiers are all wearing new armors, it's no longer appropriate to use the old training methods! Come to my tent later and I will explain to you in detail. As for the improvement of the training methods, I will suggest some ideas. Help me check them out. After all, you have been in the army longer than me! "
Due to various reasons, Li Zexuan had already taken Sun Zhiping as his confidant. This was an inexplicable trust, but at the same time, this trust was not mixed with any benefits, so it was more reliable!
With Sun Zhiping as his confidant, he could discuss tactics anytime and anywhere. To Li Zexuan who had just joined the Black Armored Troops, this was already a very good start!
"Field Officer, you are exaggerating. I am not qualified to check for you. At most, I will give you some suggestions!"
Facing Li Zexuan, Sun Zhiping was actually a little restrained. Part of it was because of his status, but more importantly, Li Zexuan's superb martial arts skills. After all, the army had always respected the strong. Li Zexuan's strength was worthy of his respect.
"Haha! Ah Xin and I are like brothers. You used to be his subordinate. Now that we are fellow soldiers, there is no need to be so formal! If you continue to be like this, how can I trust you with my back when we are on the battlefield? Just call me Xiao Xuan from now on, just like Chumo! "
Li Zexuan's eyes were like torches. How could he not see Sun Zhiping's restraint? He laughed and patted Sun Zhiping's shoulder.
"This … I wouldn't dare!"
Sun Zhiping was shocked. He hurriedly put down his bowl and cupped his fists towards Li Zexuan.
"What's there to be afraid of? We are all in the same battalion, so we are brothers. Look at Xiao Xuan and me. Although we are his personal guards on the surface, we still quarrel and quarrel in private and do whatever we want. Lieutenant, you're not a man at all when you're being so restrained! "
Cheng Chumo grinned and patted Sun Zhiping's shoulder.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Chou Niu is right. Although we are superior and subordinate in the army, this does not prevent us from calling each other brothers in private. What do you think?"
Seeing Li Zexuan and Cheng Chumo being so friendly and natural, Sun Zhiping's eyes flashed with envy. After hesitating for a long time, he clasped his fists and said, "Then I will accept your invitation!"
"Haha! That's how it should be! "
Cheng Chumo laughed and said, "Then next time if I don't pass the exam, Lieutenant Sun, don't punish me by starving me. We are brothers after all …"
"No! Military orders cannot be disobeyed, military rules cannot be changed! "
Before Cheng Chumo could finish, Sun Zhiping said coldly with a straight face.
Cheng Chumo immediately choked on his words.
"Haha!"
Li Zexuan could not help but smile. Then he scolded Cheng Chumo jokingly, "Looks like Chou Niu is full now, or else why would you start to talk? It's still early, why don't you go to the drill ground later? "
"Not full? Who said I'm full? I'll go get another bowl of food! "
Cheng Chumo suddenly felt as if his tail had been stepped on. He quickly got up and ran towards the kitchen.
