Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Yuan Lang put the oil basin aside and had just sprinkled some seasonings when he heard Gao Cheng's words. His tone changed instantly, becoming arrogant, "Apologize? What are you apologizing for? Who are you apologizing to?"

"Then isn't it redundant for you to do this?" Gao Cheng was a little confused by Yuan Lang's logic.

Yuan Lang continued working, but his voice became very serious, "They've been starving all day. Adding a dish for them is something you and I should do, it's that simple."

Gao Cheng's expression changed instantly. Good heavens, what does this mean? He's been angry all day because of the mess he made at the beginning, and he's even thinking about embezzlement.

As it turned out, this damned deputy of the A-team spent the whole morning hunting rabbits, preparing to make braised wild rabbits, while the commander was even here roasting lamb, all for the people participating in the selection process.

Yuan Lang looked at the stunned Gao Cheng and said with dissatisfaction, "What are you standing there for? Come and lend a hand, get that seasoning."

Gao Cheng shook his head in the direction Zhang Anbang was. "Why did you call me? Isn't your deputy over there?"

"Him?" Yuan Lang shook his head, his tone full of disdain. "He knows nothing. Last time he roasted my wild rabbit and ruined it. It tasted awful, even a dog wouldn't eat it."

No, that's not right. He's quite good at eating, and he can eat a lot.

Zhang Anbang immediately objected, saying, "Squad leader, you're really accusing me. Wild rabbits are inherently unpalatable when roasted."

If you don't have any seasonings, it's no wonder it tastes bad when you bake it.

Besides, with such high standards of food, the dog squad leader would definitely look down on what we're eating.

As for my ability to eat a lot, it just means I work hard and burn a lot of calories, so of course I have to eat more.

"Haha," Gao Cheng laughed. Although it was only a few words, he had already confirmed that Yuan Lang, this seemingly annoying guy, was definitely a very good person to his subordinates.

Otherwise, Zhang Anbang wouldn't have spoken so casually.

Having figured this out, Gao Cheng picked up the seasonings and sprinkled them on the roasted lamb, saying as he did so, "Put in more, more chili, the soldiers here all like spicy food, and cumin too."

As a result, Gao Cheng's rude actions immediately became unbearable for Yuan Lang. He quickly reached out and pushed Gao Cheng aside, his tone full of disdain, "Fine, fine, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, it's obvious you've never grilled before, you need to spread it evenly."

The way you're arranging it, the parts with ingredients are too flavorful, and the parts without ingredients are tasteless. How can it possibly taste good? I'm not kidding, do you guys from the Seventh Steel Company all lack a talent for grilling?

As he spoke, Yuan Lang took the seasonings and sprinkled them with practiced ease, saying, "See? You have to sprinkle them like this, that's how it tastes."

Gao Cheng was speechless after being rebuked. He had never grilled this before, so he could only stand aside and wait.

After sprinkling the last layer of seasoning, Yuan Lang clapped his hands in satisfaction. As soon as this signature gesture appeared, Zhang Anbang knew that Yuan Lang's roast lamb was completely finished.

Taking advantage of the moment when Yuan Lang looked at Gao Cheng with a smug smile, Zhang Anbang acted swiftly. His hand, which was already at his waist, flashed and with a swift motion, a fist-sized piece of meat was cut off from the lamb leg.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the falling chunk of flesh pierced directly through the dagger.

Hearing the commotion, Yuan Lang turned around and saw this scene. "Good heavens, Zhang Anbang, you really are a glutton. I spent three hours roasting this lamb for you."

Zhang Anbang picked up the stainless steel square pan next to him, put the cut-off roasted mutton on it, and cut it into three pieces with a swift stroke of his knife, saying, "Oh dear, squad leader, you've misunderstood me."

I meant well, how could you think of me like that?

You're treating eighty or ninety people to this meal. I want to taste your cooking beforehand to see how well you've done. If you don't do a good job, wouldn't that ruin your reputation as a barbecue master?

After saying that, Zhang Anbang broke off a dead branch from a nearby tree, casually whittled it into two simple wooden skewers with his dagger, stuck a piece of roasted mutton on each, and handed them to Gao Cheng and Yuan Lang.

He then used a dagger to stab the meat and started eating it.

"Mmm, not bad, not bad," Zhang Anbang said, giving Yuan Lang a thumbs-up as he ate. "Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Captain, your cooking skills are very consistent. It would be even better with some chive blossom sauce."

Gao Cheng also tried it and exclaimed, "It's really good. My cooking squad has garlic and scallions; I'll prepare some for those participating in the selection later."

"Haha," Yuan Lang laughed heartily, "That's right, when has my cooking ever been bad? How about it, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, my cooking is good enough to add dishes for them, isn't it?"

"Mmm, it won't fall, it won't fall," Gao Cheng mumbled, chewing on his roasted mutton.

As the three were talking, a captain from the reconnaissance battalion arrived with three soldiers. After saluting, the captain said, "Deputy Battalion Commander, the braised wild rabbit that Old Zhao stewed, which you mentioned earlier, I've brought it over with my men."

He pointed to the stainless steel basins the soldier was carrying, two of which were more than half full of braised wild rabbits, and another basin contained fifteen or sixteen large white steamed buns.

"Okay," Gao Cheng nodded and introduced to Yuan Lang and Zhang Anbang, "My company commander, Li Xiao."

Yuan Lang smiled and said, "To be introduced so seriously by Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, it seems that Company Commander Li Xiao is no ordinary person."

Gao Cheng's smile vanished instantly. "Hey, Li Xiao, you should go back now and quickly send this roasted lamb over there to be distributed, otherwise it'll get cold. Remember to send the wild rabbit over too."

Tell them that the leaders who came to select candidates will treat them to a meal.

"Yes," Li Xiao replied without hesitation, though he was a little confused as to why the deputy battalion commander, who had been all smiles just moments before, had suddenly become so serious.

Li Xiao saluted the three officers, then waved his hand. Two soldiers stepped forward, set up the roasted lamb, and then turned and followed Li Xiao.

"Eat, eat," Zhang Anbang said, gesturing to the two leaders while grabbing two large steamed buns. "I'm exhausted and starving after a long day."

"What have you been doing? You're exhausted and starving!" Gao Cheng couldn't take it anymore.

In other words, he was trying to save face for Zhang Anbang in front of Yuan Lang, otherwise he would have directly confronted him, saying, "You've been sitting in the car all day, and all you did this morning was fire a few shots and shoot a few rabbits."

The customer, who was almost asleep in the car this afternoon, how could he possibly complain about being exhausted and hungry?

"Hey," Zhang Anbang mumbled, chewing on braised rabbit meat with satisfaction, "Company Commander, you can't say that. I've been on the road all day, being jostled around. I'm not relaxed at all."

Besides, I fired so many shots and shot down so many rabbits, so it's only natural to complain about being tired.
