Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 275 The Joy of Like-minded People

In the evening, the courtyard was brightly lit with fire and the air was filled with fragrance. A large pot of soft and glutinous braised pork was brought out.

Lambs and chickens were roasting on the campfire.

In addition to these, Gu Changfeng also prepared wine and peanuts to entertain the guests. He was willing to spend money like this, as he had to retain such talented people.

"Brother Gu, thank you for the money, thank you for the money, haha."

Ji Guangshun looked at the sumptuous dinner and his mouth suddenly stretched from ear to ear.

Gu Changfeng ignored him and told the logistics staff to divide the meat and serve it on the table. Then he looked at Tang Renli and said:

"Brother Tang, please quickly have everyone take a seat. We've all traveled so far and must be tired. Have a good meal and go to bed early."

Tang Renli nodded. It was true that they had to take a lot of detours to bypass the Japanese blockade area.

Sometimes there is not enough food and it is normal to feel hungry. Even today during the day, everyone is still eating the dry rations of the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing the braised pork and roasted lamb, I was already drooling with hunger.

"Mingshan, Li Yan, Yufen, come here, the rest of you find a seat." Tang Renli shouted and sat down below Gu Changfeng.

The yard can barely accommodate a few large tables, and it is a little crowded for students to sit together.

As for the company brought by Ji Guangshun, they have been taken upstairs by the logistics department to eat, so Changfeng doesn't need to worry about it.

Anyway, when you come to his place, you will definitely have enough rice and meat to eat.

As everyone took their seats, the baby-faced girl nicknamed Little Sparrow stopped talking and stared at the roast chicken in the logistics soldier's hand without blinking.

"Mengting, you little greedy cat, can you please swallow your saliva a little quieter?" The girl named Zhilan reminded softly.

Meng Ting said pitifully, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Today I finally saw my beloved big chicken drumstick."

Zhilan shook her head speechlessly, defeated by Mengting's cute appearance.

"Okay, the dishes are on the table. Let's eat quickly and then go to bed early." said the older girl.

Hearing the eldest sister's words, the girls lost their reserve and started to pick up their chopsticks and eat the chicken.

Girls may not be interested in fatty meat, but roasted chicken is very fragrant, and the whole chicken will be reduced to a skeleton in a few seconds.

The eldest sister smiled bitterly and shook her head. She moved her chopsticks to the braised pork, put it in the bowl and took a bite. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

He reminded them, "Don't stare at the chicken anymore. The meat is good. You can try it."

This braised pork is the signature dish of the garrison. After getting tired of stewed meat, Gu Changfeng changed the way he cooked it and directly used his cooking skills from the later generations.

Now stewed meat is no longer popular, but braised pork has become the dish that everyone thinks about every day.

Naturally, with so many people eating at the garrison, the most they could get was soup, and they could only get a small piece of meat, but even that was enough to make the soldiers yearn for it.

In the courtyard, the girls were much more reserved, but the male students at the other tables didn't care and started eating as soon as they were told to.

Once the rice was poured into their bowls, they ate it ravenously, putting the wine and other things aside and eating their fill first.

Gu Changfeng looked at the scene and was very satisfied with his arrangements.

There is no chicken, duck, fish or meat in the town that can be bought outside, but this talent is rare, and he is a recent graduate, so delicious.

Tang Renli smiled awkwardly, stood up and said, "Captain Gu, let me introduce you."

He pointed to the students he had called over and said, "Li Mingshan, Li Yan, both of them are the best students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Chemical Engineering."

"Chen Yufen, this is the daughter of my father's old friend, she's studying telecommunications."

Gu Changfeng stood up and said solemnly: "Welcome everyone to come to my mountain valley and contribute to China's war of resistance."

"I, Gu Changfeng, don't have too many big words. Now that you are here, we will make the best use of everyone and everything."

As the elder brother, Li Mingshan was the first to speak: "Thank you, Captain Gu. I heard from the principal about your experience in Jinling. You are very good at fighting the Japanese, so we are willing to follow you."

"Brother Mingshan is right. China is now in the midst of war. We students also hope to follow capable people to drive the Japanese out of China." Li Yan said seriously.

In fact, if Tang Shengzhi hadn't intercepted them, the students were planning to go to Yanzhou to have a look.

As a result, Tang Shengzhi convinced them with just one phone call, and finally they traveled thousands of miles to come to Gu Changfeng.

Chen Yufen also stood up, but didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Gu Changfeng curiously.

In terms of age, Gu Changfeng is indeed younger, and he keeps his beard neatly trimmed at the base. He doesn't look like a heroic warrior on the battlefield, but rather like the big brother next door.

"Haha, I don't agree with what Li Yan said. Just driving the devils out won't do."

"Our goal is to conquer Japan and destroy their damn emperor."

Gu Changfeng was not talking nonsense, but this was what he thought in his heart. After his strength grew stronger, could he go and wipe out the Japanese in Taiyuan?

Upon hearing this, Ji Guangshun burst into laughter and said, "I prefer what Brother Gu said. It's encouraging."

Li Yan thought about it, then laughed and said, "It seems my goal is too small, haha."

Tang Renli watched the conversation between the young people with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's good to be young!"

After that, the atmosphere at the table became much more harmonious. Gu Changfeng came from the future and could respond to any question, and his words were very coherent.

Everyone admired him so much that even Ji Guangshun put down his chopsticks and listened quietly to Gu Changfeng.

"Come on, come on, why are you just looking at me? Those who can drink, drink. Those who can't drink, there's soup. Let's drink to the rise of China."

Gu Changfeng, who was speaking until his mouth was dry, couldn't stand it anymore when he saw everyone staring at him, so he simply ended his speech.

"Okay, for the sake of China's rise, that's a good thing to say." Tang Renli spoke out rarely, and it was obvious that these words made him very uneasy.

"Teacher Tang, Captain Gu, please don't forget us!"

The baby-faced girl had eaten her fill and had been paying attention to the movements here. When she heard Tang Renli's words, she immediately spoke out to remind him.

"Haha, then let's all come together," Tang Renli generously filled the glass with wine and continued to speak to the students.

"Everyone, follow Captain Gu carefully from now on. Fight the Japanese wherever you are fighting them."

"The future of China depends on young people like you."

After he finished speaking, he drank a large bowl of wine.

"Come on, come on, your teacher Tang has finished drinking, let's finish ours too."

Gu Changfeng was very happy, not only because of the joy of gaining talented people, but also because of the feeling of seeing people of the same age and with similar interests.

"Cheers, to the rise of China." The baby-faced girl raised the bowl in her hand excitedly.

The students also shouted in unison: "Cheers, for the rise of China!"

As the wine went down their throats, the students became more enthusiastic and began to talk about their expectations and goals.

Zhao Ziqing looked at a group of youthful students, and his thoughts went back to those years when he was studying.

Thinking of the girl who amazed him...
