Chapter 20: Delicious Food

  Everyone did not expect Sun Fan to suddenly lose his temper at this moment. This was also the first time they were scolded so severely by Sun Fan after coming to the South Sea Fleet, and they were frightened to stand still on the spot, staring at Sun Fan without moving.

  The voice gradually fell, Sun Fan raised his hand and threw the chicken leg in his hand into the sea. Without saying a word, at the moment when everyone was shocked, he turned around and unhesitatingly poured all the delicious dishes that had been prepared into the vast ocean.

  Looking at so much delicious food being wasted like this, Qiu Lin couldn't help but sigh and swallow a mouthful of saliva.

  Zhuo Yi watched as Sun Fan threw away so many good things, suddenly becoming furious and walking up to Sun Fan, asking: "What are you doing?"

  Sun Fan didn't respond to her, but instead turned around, furrowed his brow and looked at all the students, saying: "In my opinion, giving these foods to you would be a waste."

  "Now, the troops' equipment is no longer the original millet plus rifles, and their food is not the old moldy sorghum. Sun Fan paused for a moment, suddenly glancing sideways at Lü Kun, whose sharp eyes made Lü Kun tremble all over."

  Looking back, Sun continued: "But this does not mean that the military in the new era can be pampered and live a life of luxury. Nor does it mean that the current troops are a place for you to enjoy your old age!"

  "If you have never made up your mind to fight and sacrifice for the country, and have never thought of being a man of iron blood who is willing to shed his hot blood for the motherland, then on the battlefield you are nothing but fish meat waiting to be slaughtered! Sun Fan took a deep breath, calming down his excited emotions, and continued: "So I don't want to waste taxpayers' money on you."

  Sun Fan's words left every student speechless and unable to refute, they could only silently lower their heads.

  "Gurgle~~~" Qiu Lin's stomach made an untimely noise, and no matter how correct Sun Fan's words were, or how deeply they resonated with each student's heart at this moment, it was impossible to change the fact that the students were already starving.

  But the delicious food had already gone into the fish's belly, and Qiu Lin could only lift her head up to give Sun Fan an awkward smile before burying her head again.

  However, Sun Fan didn't want everyone to go hungry either. After all, there were still other things to continue with later, and they couldn't do without energy. As the rumbling sound of Qiu Lin's stomach slowly faded away, Sun Fan waved his hand again at the corner, and the several soldiers who had just brought up the delicious dishes now carried several iron basins to Sun Fan's side.

  Everyone involuntarily turned their heads to look at the iron basin in the soldier's hand, and saw that one basin was filled with thin porridge without any visible rice grains, while another basin was filled with some unknown wild vegetables.

  He pointed at the two basins and said, "This! This is your lunch for today, but if you want to eat these two things, you must finish doing squats, otherwise, forget it!" As he spoke, Sun's finger once again pointed towards the deck.

  Lu Tao was still the first to execute the command. Before Sun Fu's voice fell, he quickly squatted down again.

  Qiu Lin looked at the porridge and wild vegetables in the bowl, thinking that just looking at it was already hard to swallow, and the taste should be even worse. But her stomach was still growling with hunger, and the feeling of emptiness was unbearable. Maybe the wild vegetables didn't taste good, but they were better than nothing. With that thought, Qiu Lin also quickly bent down and started doing push-ups.

  Jiang Yuruo and Bao Shiping didn't think much about it, regardless of whether they wanted to eat the porridge and wild vegetables in front of them after they finished their task. Executing orders was a principle that couldn't be compromised.

  Sun Qifan didn't say anything either. His calmness was somewhat unexpected by both Sun Fu and Zhuo Yi, but the two of them looked at Sun Qifan starting to do squats without saying a word.

  But it's impossible for the team to have only obedient people. When other students continued to do push-ups or squats one after another, a student who was standing behind Lü Kūn suddenly smiled and turned around to walk out of the formation without even reporting.

  Zhuo Yi saw it and immediately shouted: "Halt! What are you going to do?"

  The student sneered, "What can I do? I want to leave this place that insults my dignity!" As he spoke, the student became even more enraged and tore off his camouflage cap, throwing it heavily onto the deck, staring at Zhuo Yi with wide eyes.

  Seeing the student's behavior, Zhuo Yi also became furious and was about to go forward to discipline this student who disrespected the military emblem, but was stopped by Sun Fan.

  Sun Fan didn't say anything, he just slowly walked past the students.

  The quiet atmosphere made everyone stop again and turn their heads towards the trouble-making student.

  He stopped in front of the camouflage hat of a student. He lowered his head to look at the camouflage hat on the deck, and the military emblem shone brightly under the sunlight, dazzling.

  "Pick it up," Sun's words were calm, but he didn't raise his head to look at the students.

  The students ignored him.

  "I'm telling you, pick it up!" Sun Bao's words were still calm, but he raised his head to look at the students, each word spoken more clearly and forcefully.

  "I won't pick it up!"

  The cadet said that and gave Sun Bo a white eye, turned around and walked towards the bridge ladder, meaning to leave the 168 fleet.

  Sun Fan didn't say anything, nor did he call out to the students. He simply squatted down and gently picked up the camouflage hat that a student had thrown onto the deck, using his hand to brush off the dust on the hat. Then, facing the military emblem, he took a deep breath and used his sleeve to wipe it clean. Once the emblem was spotless, he smiled in satisfaction, looked up at the students who were already disembarking at the dock, and chuckled lightly.

  Everyone was puzzled as to why Sun Feng appeared so calm and how he could tolerate the students trampling on the military emblem and leaving with his head held high.

  Sun Qifan just smiled and knew what Sun Fu was thinking in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

  Listening to Sun Qifan's laughter, which was full of meaning, Jiang Yurou couldn't help but guess that Sun Feng wouldn't give the students a good ending. Her heart was inevitably nervous at this moment, because she couldn't see through what kind of person Sun Feng really was. The calm before the storm made her heart beat faster for no reason.

  Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Yuru looking at him. Sun Qifan finished the last push-up and smiled: "What? Do you want to slap another ear on my right cheek so that I can be symmetrical?"

  Originally, her physical fatigue had made Jiang Yurou temporarily forget what happened an hour ago, but after being said by Sun Qifan, the scene of being robbed of her first kiss by Sun Qifan suddenly filled her mind.

  But she endured it, just bowing her head and holding her breath to continue doing push-ups.

  Zhuo Yi looked at the students walking further and further away, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. At this moment, she somewhat understood what Sun Fan was going to teach these kids. Perhaps the next story would be even more exciting. Thinking about it, Zhuo Yi felt that just standing there watching wasn't very interesting, so she decided to cooperate with Sun Fan, and turned around to move a chair out, sitting down in front of each student who was exhausted to death.

  "Report! Trainee Lu Tao has completed the task!" Before Zhuo Yi's chair had even warmed up, Lu Tao stood up straight in military posture and gave his report.

  Sun Fan didn't look at him, he just raised his hand and pointed to the dishes, saying: "You can eat now."

  "Yes!" responded to Sun Fu's words, the hungry Lu Tao came crawling and rolling to the front of the basin, took a bowl and chopsticks, filled a full bowl of rice and wild vegetables and started eating.

  Although the porridge is made with countable grains of rice, it's still enjoyable to drink after cooling down in such hot weather. But as soon as the wild vegetables enter my mouth, the small thorns on the leaves stimulate my oral cavity, and that indescribable nauseating taste rushes down my throat into my stomach, making me feel like I'm going to capsize. Before I can even swallow, Lu Tao gets up and leans against the railing, vomiting towards the sea.

  His stomach was empty, and all he could vomit up was acid.

  But Sun Fan didn't want to let him waste food like that. Sun Fan walked behind Lu Tao, grabbed his collar and pulled him back with a sudden force. Before Lu Tao could steady himself, Sun Fan roared at him: "Finish eating!"

  Lu Tao fell silent as he gazed at the bowl full of unpalatable wild vegetables, his eyes fixed on the prickly hairs standing upright on the leaves.

  "Eat! This is an order!"

  "Yes!"

  This is an order, military orders are like mountains. Lu Tao didn't dare say more, he could only hold back the feeling of vomiting, and stuffed the wild vegetables into his mouth in big mouthfuls, swallowing them without even chewing properly.

  Watching Lu Tao eat to the end, tears were swirling in Qiu Lin's eyes. Her speed couldn't help but slow down. She was afraid, as a foodie, being hungry was a huge punishment for her, but now she would rather be hungry.

  But Sun Fan didn't allow it, seeing Qiu Lin's slowing down pace, he rushed towards Qiu Lin and shouted loudly: "You, if you're still so slow, all your previous efforts will be for nothing!"

  Sun Fan's words scared Qiu Lin for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and hurriedly got to work. Perhaps wild vegetables were really unpalatable, but if she could start over from scratch again, she would truly be able to leave this place of her own accord.

  After a while, Sun Qifan got up. However, he didn't make a report, but instead walked straight to the basin, scooped a bowl of porridge and a bowl of wild vegetables, and started eating with big mouthfuls. Unlike Lu Tao, he not only savored his food slowly, but also gave a thumbs-up in praise of the good taste.

  Watching Sun Qifan eating with relish, Qiu Lin couldn't understand whether Lu Tao was telling a lie or not, but she swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

  Forget it, Qiu Lin got up and quickly started doing squats.

  It wasn't long before Lu Tao had finished a bowl of wild vegetables and a bowl of thin porridge, hastily putting down his bowl and chopsticks, not wanting to eat anymore. Seeing Lu Tao's frightened appearance, Sun Qifan couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

  Others also finished their squats one after another, got up and came to the basin, took bowls and chopsticks and started eating. Perhaps it was Sun Qifan's praise for the wild vegetables that affected others, or because no one dared to offend Sun Buran at this time, whether it was delicious or not, no one showed any discomfort anymore.

  Qiu Lin finished her last squat and ran to the basin, scooped a bowl of porridge and wild vegetables. She thought about Sun Qifan's delicious expression, thinking that the wild vegetables should taste good, so she stuffed a big mouthful into her mouth. However, when her teeth bit through the stem, a bitter taste instantly filled her mouth, and the hairy texture scratched her mouth uncomfortably. Qiu Lin didn't hesitate to spit out the wild vegetables and turned to shout at Sun Qifan: "Sun Qifan! You lied to me, this is so disgusting, how could you say it's delicious!"
