Chapter 30 Brigade Commander, it’s delicious!
Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao looked at each other and stopped struggling. They were also very curious about the taste and texture of these high-yield potatoes.
The most important thing is whether it can fill you up. Nowadays, when eating, taste and texture are secondary. The most important thing is the feeling of fullness.
Seeing that they stopped struggling, Chen Xiao let them down. Zhang Dabiao didn't care, as he was used to it anyway. However, Ding Wei was still a little uncomfortable.
Ding Wei moved the part that was pinched just now, and said with a bit of insecurity: "I didn't expect that you, Xiucai, look fair and clean, like a scholar and gentleman, but you have the spirit of a tyrant in your bones.
You are carrying a regiment commander and a battalion commander in one hand. Not to mention the weight of more than 300 to 400 kilograms, they would be generals in ancient times. If this gets out, where would we put our face?
no!
Today, without two bottles of good wine, this matter cannot be solved!"
He was just shocked. Chen Xiao carried them like two kids. In the past, he had only heard that this scholar was good at shooting, accurate at cannon fire, skilled in martial arts, and could speak Japanese, but he had never heard that he had immense strength!
Why did he feel that the scholar in front of him was like a well that would never run dry? If you didn't touch him, his ability would be like the water level which would always be there. But if you tried to draw water from him, no matter how you drew or how much water you drew, this well would always give you surprises and it would never run dry.
"Okay! I went to the county town these days and brought back a batch of medicines, a lot of supplies, and a lot of wine.
After I harvest the potatoes, I'll go to the mountains and get a wild boar, and then we'll have a good drink and eat some meat!"
These days, wild boars, leopards, tigers, and bears are not yet protected animals and are still rampant in the mountains and forests of this land. In the deep mountains and old forests, only hunters can come and go at ease.
But everyone present naturally knew that catching a wild boar was just a small matter for Chen Xiao.
As early as the moment Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao dug out the potatoes and weighed them, they had already asked the guard to make a call to the brigade headquarters.
So far, three plants have been dug. The plant dug by Chen Xiao yielded eight kilograms of potatoes, while Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao each harvested six kilograms and ten kilograms respectively.
When the brigade commander received the report, he was surprised and asked for it to be repeated, and then confirmed the output again in disbelief.
He just received a report that the scout school of the New 1st Regiment was going to harvest potatoes. Although he knew that the yield was high, he didn't expect it to be so high.
"Quick! Contact the headquarters and report this matter!
Oh my God, three seedlings, six, eight, and ten kilograms of potatoes. With these potatoes, will the people still go hungry?
Do the Eighth Route Army still need to starve?
Hahahaha! Guards, get your horses ready. I'm going to the New 1st Regiment to see what the potatoes look like!"
The distance from the brigade headquarters to the new regiment is not too far. Normally, it takes seven or eight hours by fast horse. Today, the brigade commander only took four hours to get there. He did not conserve the horsepower as usual. As long as the output is real, one horse is nothing!
"Brigade Commander!" When entering the New 1st Regiment's base, the Brigade Commander felt that the atmosphere was different. The number of sentries was doubled than usual.
"Where is your regiment commander? In the scout school? Ask someone to take me there! You continue to be on guard." He didn't even go to the regiment headquarters, but asked the company commander of the second company outside.
On his way here, he had already reviewed Chen Xiao's and Tudou's information in his mind.
For the patriots who have returned from Europe, I have not heard that they have any relatives in China. They have no roots, which is a bit troublesome.
Even if you want to ask them, but they didn't join the Eighth Route Army and don't want to tell you, there's nothing you can do about it.
Moreover, the school they run helps you train talents for free without using your materials, so you can't control them.
I heard that in just less than three months, the first batch of scouts learned a lot of skills, their shooting became more accurate, and their bayonet fighting skills are estimated to be half as good as the anti-Japanese Lu Bu who came from a martial arts family on the execution platform.
You know, the hero, Captain Lu, who was on the execution ground, stabbed 27 Japanese soldiers to death in a bayonet fight as soon as he entered the battlefield in Shandong when he was a rookie.
In later battles, he once fought alone, stabbing to death or wounding more than 60 Japanese and puppet troops with his bayonet.
During the Hundred Regiments Campaign, one of their companies killed or wounded 106 Japanese and puppet troops, while his own company had only one wounded soldier.
Even folk storytellers wouldn't dare to make up stories like this, but there really was such a heroic character.
However, there are very few people with such abilities. It is incredible that a school can train so many of them, and train them in batches.
This is already incredible, and it's not just about bayonet fighting ability. It is said that a lot of grenade launchers and a mortar have been seized in the school.
It turns out that every scout knew how to fire a cannon, and they were quite accurate .
The most incredible thing is the Japanese language learning that Principal Chen Xiao is doing, which is a bit intriguing.
The headquarters even had some doubts as to whether this person was a Japanese who was planning to infiltrate their own camp and throw some sweet treats over first, making it easier for Chen Xiao to infiltrate deep into the Eighth Route Army.
So recently there has been some research on what attitude we should have towards Chen Xiao and his school.
Brigade Commander Chen had also heard about it, but his judgment of everything might be reversed starting today.
If this potato can really produce 6 to 10 kilograms per plant, and it is promoted, people all over the country will no longer be hungry and will be able to have enough food.
When everything is stable, from ancient times to the present, no foreign enemy has ever been able to successfully invade a country in such a state.
In China, ordinary people cannot afford to eat and are in danger of losing their jobs from day to day. Internal corruption gives others opportunities to take advantage.
The Wei, Jin, Song and Ming dynasties all told us this truth.
If the person who brings hope that most ordinary people will have enough food is a spy, he hopes there will be as many such spies as possible.
But the prerequisite is that potatoes are really a high-yield, filling and good food.
The second company commander of the new first regiment asked the deputy company commander to take the brigade commander to the scout school. He also had to perform a guard mission and could not leave.
"Scout Agricultural School? Why did the school change its name?"
Brigade Commander Chen looked at the school sign and walked into the school under the salute of the sentry.
The sentry told them that everyone was now in the backyard, but Brigade Commander Chen keenly discovered that there were already warning guns pointing at him in every corner.
"Hello, Brigade Commander!" Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao had received the report long ago, and came over and saluted.
But the sharp-eyed Brigade Commander Chen unexpectedly discovered that a soldier was secretly sweeping away the blackened potato skins on the ground.
"Are the potatoes delicious? Are they fragrant?" Brigade Commander Chen asked suddenly.
Before Zhang Dabiao knew how to respond, Ding Wei had already puffed out his chest and answered loudly: "Commander, it smells good! It's delicious! It's very filling!"
