Chapter 322: After the modification: Chapter 322 Tasteless and Insipid
So the company commander is burying the hatchet with Wu Xiaoyu? With his arrogant nature, having been easily defeated by Wu Xiaoyu, how could he be so magnanimous?
Under Fan Biao’s continuous guidance, Wu Xiaoyu gradually made ‘progress’ and began to hit the target’s face.
When all the team members had completed their shooting training in turns, Wu Xiaoyu finally stopped hiding his skills, aimed at the target’s forehead, and hit it in one shot.
Through the telescope, Fan Biao saw that he hit the target’s forehead from three hundred meters away. He was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
Looks like I really am a talent! I only taught him for a short while, and he can hit the target so precisely!
During their ‘teaching’, the two had unconsciously grown closer emotionally. Now that Wu Xiaoyu hit the target, it greatly boosted Fan Biao’s confidence.
He completely forgot about Wu Xiaoyu defeating him earlier and started treating him like a brother.
The deputy company commander, witnessing this change, couldn’t help but smile in relief. Now that they had made up, the afternoon’s combat training could proceed normally.
The warriors saw the company commander putting his arm around Wu Xiaoyu’s shoulder and calling him brother, but they were still clueless and bewildered!
When did the company commander change his ways? Treating the person who defeated him so kindly!
After the shooting training, it was near noon. The Second Company had some free time and then, under Fan Biao’s lead, went to the base’s cafeteria to eat.
Although the training base was deep in the mountains, fresh vegetables and fruits were supplied every day. The cafeteria had a full range of dishes, both meat and vegetables, but the taste was just somewhat lacking.
Of course, this wasn’t because the cooks were inattentive. They had to prepare so many meals at once, with tight schedules and heavy tasks, making it hard to balance nutrition and taste.
Watching these warriors devour their food, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t resist asking, “Do you think this food is good?”
The warrior who was eating saw that the company commander and Wu Xiaoyu had patched things up, so he didn’t dare ignore the question but didn’t dare to tell the truth either, only stammering, “It’s… okay! It’s okay!”
Sitting on the other side of Wu Xiaoyu, Fan Biao heard this, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and cursed, “Wu Weenyong, how dare you lie through your teeth!”
The deputy company commander, seeing this, quickly tried to persuade Fan Biao, “Company commander! Watch your language, we’re all comrades, how can you curse?”
The scolded warrior wasn’t dejected at all. Instead, he grinned like he was being praised.
“To be honest with you, this food is really bad. But people like us, who can even eat snakes, insects, and mice, won’t care much about this,” the warrior changed his words.
Snakes and insects? The thought of them eating such things made Wu Xiaoyu feel nauseous, his stomach started churning.
Although he grew up in the countryside and had eaten snake meat as a child, eating them raw was too much.
Fan Biao saw his grimace at the thought of eating raw snakes and insects, feeling a sense of superiority.
This kid, though good with his fists, is ultimately just an ordinary person, not like us who fear neither heaven nor earth.
“Alright, enough! Watch out he might throw up, and then none of us would want to eat!” Fan Biao reprimanded.
However, the warriors at the table not only didn’t restrain their schadenfreude but laughed at Wu Xiaoyu.
The deputy company commander, fearing they would anger Wu Xiaoyu further, quickly scolded, “Alright, hurry up and eat, stop dawdling!”
The warriors then buried their heads and continued eating. Wu Xiaoyu, seeing them eat this bland food, felt a bit sorry.
They had to undergo grueling training every day yet couldn’t even enjoy a decent meal, it was too cruel!
Wu Xiaoyu’s palate was spoiled by the country chicken, shiitake mushrooms, and shiitake mushroom sauce from home, making it hard to swallow this food.
Seeing his lack of appetite, Fan Biao couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Lost your appetite because of snakes and insects?”
“No! It’s this food, it’s just too hard to swallow!” Wu Xiaoyu hesitated.
His words were overheard by the base’s quartermaster, who was about to come over to comfort them.
“Who said the food is bad?” The quartermaster’s smile quickly disappeared, frowning as he approached Wu Xiaoyu and the others.
The deputy company commander quickly stood up, smiling, “Just a joke… just a joke, don’t take it seriously, quartermaster!”
The quartermaster ignored the deputy company commander, took a few more steps forward, and examined Wu Xiaoyu, curious as he wasn’t wearing a uniform.
He didn’t seem like a soldier, so why was he at the training base, criticizing the food?
Who did he think he was?
“Hey! What do you do?” The quartermaster kicked Wu Xiaoyu’s chair and bluntly questioned.
Knowing he probably angered the quartermaster, Wu Xiaoyu quickly pretended to be confused and smiled, “I’m here with the Second Company for training, what’s the matter?”
Seeing his polite attitude and smiling face, the quartermaster didn’t know how to scold him.
Though he didn’t understand the cooks’ hard work and criticized the food, he was polite, so the quartermaster had to hold back his harshness.
The quartermaster coughed, suppressing his dissatisfaction, and said, “Our cooks wake up early to wash, chop, and cook, fearing they would delay your meals. Can’t you be more understanding?”
“The food may lack some flavor compared to restaurants, but can you compare mass-cooked food with restaurant dishes?”
As the quartermaster spoke passionately, Wu Xiaoyu realized he had been too brash.
“It’s my bad attitude, please forgive me!” Wu Xiaoyu quickly apologized, fearing the quartermaster would go on.
The quartermaster was taken aback by the quick apology, then smiled and said, “I’m glad you understand our cooks’…”
But before he could finish, Wu Xiaoyu interrupted, “My attitude was wrong, but the food indeed has issues…”
Everyone, including Fan Biao, was shocked and stared at Wu Xiaoyu, what was he doing?
If you’ve apologized, just eat quietly, why still criticize the food?
Even if the food is bad, can’t you just deal with it? You don’t have to eat it every day. Are you standing up for your brothers?
The quartermaster was also bewildered, thinking Wu Xiaoyu was crazy. Was this how you apologize?
Before the quartermaster could react, Wu Xiaoyu continued, “Our village has a shiitake mushroom sauce factory that makes delicious shiitake mushroom sauce!”
“If you add it to this food, it will make the bland dishes taste delicious.”
Everyone was even more puzzled, is he really criticizing the food, or is he trying to sell shiitake mushroom sauce?
The quartermaster, who used to work in the cooks’ team and had a second-level chef certificate, didn’t believe this sauce could make such a difference.
“Kid, don’t make up stories! And this is a training base, not a market. If you want to sell sauce, you’re in the wrong place!” the quartermaster said angrily, raising his eyebrows.
