Chapter 40 Assigned to the Cooking Class 9

  Ge Hui smiled and said, "Yes, your only choice is to help Lei become first place!"

  "Hey! I'm telling you, squad leader, this kid is too idle, can't just let me suffer alone here, you gotta find him something to do too!"

  Pang Hong's small mouth opened, revealing his small tiger teeth shining brightly there, with a sly smile on his face as he looked at the big guy Ge Hui: "He, heh heh, he can't run away."

  Ge Hui had been with Pang Hong for over a year, and as soon as he saw Pang Hong's smile, he knew that nothing good would come of it. He felt a chill run down his spine, turned around and ran towards the door, shouting: "Class leader, I'll go to the bathroom first, whatever it is can wait until I get back."

  Ge Hui's movements were quick, but Wang Zhen was even faster. Before Ge Hui could run, Wang Zhen had already blocked the gate. With a sly smile on his face, he looked at Da Gai and said, "Hmph, I'll see where you can run!" Then he turned to Pang Hong and shouted, "Squad leader! What do you want him to do? Hurry up and say it!"

  Pang Hong glanced at the basket of potatoes piled up beside the water pool, and laughed: "After you and Lei finish kneading the buns, let Da Ge teach Lei knife skills. Have you seen that basket of potatoes? Tonight's dinner will use them, and you and Lei must chop them all out before finishing dinner. Now his task is to peel off the skin of this basket of potatoes."

  "What?" Ge Hui looked at the basket of potatoes and exclaimed loudly: "Squad leader, there are at least a hundred of them now. You want me to cut all of them into potato slices? Isn't this too rushed? Besides, we can't even use that many potatoes in one meal!"

  Pang Hong smiled again and said: "No, you're wrong, it's not cut into potato slices, but shredded potatoes!"

  "What?!", Ge Hui almost fell to the ground when he heard that they had to cut the potatoes into shreds. He pointed at the potatoes and exclaimed: "Bān, Bānzhǎng, did I hear wrong? You want Léi and me to shred all of these before dinner? Is this possible?"

  Pang Hong said with a serious face: "I don't care if it's possible or not, this is your training for Lei today. If you can't finish it, neither of you will be able to eat dinner!"

  "Oh, this is great! I told you to work hard, otherwise there won't be dinner!" Now Wang Zheng was also excited and happy on the side.

  "Cut." Ge Hui's face was unhappy.

  At this time, Lei asked in a low voice on the side: "That, is it difficult to cut potato shreds?"

  Wang Zhen smiled and said: "Not difficult, not difficult, not difficult at all."

  "It's not difficult? You'll know in a moment!" Ge Hui shouted somewhat angrily, and he turned to Pang Hong again, asking: "Squad leader, I really can't figure it out. What does this potato strip have to do with Leina getting first place? He's no better than the potato strip!"

  "Ah, not bad, I know it's not as good as potato shreds. But Lei still has a level with noodles, and knife skills are crucial for that. If his knife skills aren't good, how can he cut the noodles as thin as hair? That's why I wanted you to teach him to cut potato shreds."

  Ge Hui listened and said with a disdainful face: "Cut it, got it." After finishing speaking, he turned around to ask Lei: "Hey, I'm asking you, how's your knife skills?"

  He thought for half a day with his head tilted, and then replied embarrassedly: "I've only used scissors when I was a kid, and the bayonet we played with in boot camp."

  Dizzy, Ge Hui patted his own forehead and glanced at the basket of potatoes on the ground waiting to be cut. He said helplessly, "Oh, I see, you go rub your head first. It seems that this basket of potatoes will have to be cut by me alone today." After finishing speaking, he squatted down beside the potato basket and started peeling the potato skins.

  Lei watched the big guy peel the potato skin with a skillful technique, feeling really neat. A potato was in his hands for less than ten seconds, and the skin on it was all peeled off to the ground, and the peeled potato skin was as thin as paper. Even Lu Liang, who was standing aside, couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, so cool!"

  The two old soldiers now both have something to do, and Lu Liang seems to be an idle person. As soon as the two heard Lu Liang's voice, they shouted in unison: "Don't you have anything to do?"

  "Ah, sorry, sorry, I'll get right on it!" Lu Liang called out as he went off to find something to do.

  Wang Zheng turned around and saw Lei still watching Ge Hui peel the potato skin, so he slapped a palm on Lei's head and shouted: "What are you looking at? We're all doing this for you, can't you hurry up and knead the dough for me?"

  "Hey!" Lei chuckled and started his first step "pulling noodles" exercise. After dozens of practices, Lei's noodle-pulling speed was still not fast, but the size of each piece of noodle was almost uniform. Lei looked at the noodle pieces on the board with satisfaction and smiled, then raised his head to ask Wang Zhen: "What's next?"

  "Hmm", Wang Zhen looked at the pieces of dough that Lei had pulled down and was also quite satisfied. He said heavily, "The next step is a bit more difficult, watch my movements carefully, actually this movement is very simple, just like doing Tai Chi." As he spoke, Wang Zhen picked up one piece of dough with his palm and pressed it onto the surface of the board, then his two hands slowly drew a circle from inside to outside. When he lifted his hands, the two pieces of dough had become round in shape. Wang Zhen gently picked up the kneaded dough and put it into the steamer basket, then asked Lei, "How's that? Did you understand?"

  Lei nodded seriously and said, "Hmm, I understand." After finishing speaking, Lei also took two pieces of dough and started kneading. However, who would have thought that this action looked simple but was actually very difficult to do? Lei exerted great effort in kneading the dough on the board, one circle, picked it up to look and it was flat, two circles, picked it up to look and it was still flat, three circles, four circles... In the end, Lei had kneaded for over a dozen circles. When he finally lifted his hands, he discovered that the dough had stuck back onto his palms.

  Wang Zhen saw Lei struggling for half a day without even making a single mantou, and he got so angry that he shouted: "I say you're really stupid! Look carefully at how I do it!" Then Wang Zhen took the dough, pressed it on the board, drew circles, lifted it up, and two round dough balls appeared before their eyes again.

  This time, before Wang Zheng could ask, Lei shouted: "Oh, this time I really saw it clearly!", After finishing speaking, Lei picked up the two pieces of dough again and kneaded them into circles, one circle, two circles, three circles. By the fourth circle, Lei finally kneaded them into two round doughs.
