Chapter 112 Food

On the other side, the baker and his gang had already prepared and were waiting anxiously.

When they saw Qin Chuan coming back with something black in his hand, they couldn't help but excitedly took it and started to process it quickly.

Qin Chuan then realized that the cooking utensils they had used were also professional enough. They dug a pit underground that was big enough for everyone to hide in. They piled up some rammed earth around it, used gasoline barrels to make a fire inside, and covered it with canvas outside. No light could get out at all. What made Qin Chuan even more impressed was that this place was downstream of the wind, and the smoke would be blown to the opposite direction of the camp, so the German soldiers who were sleeping in the barracks would not smell any strange smell.

The baker skillfully plucked the hen and washed it, then used a bayonet to disassemble it and threw it into the pot where the water was already boiling. Alfredo sprinkled some spices that he didn't know where he got into the pot and covered it. The next step was to wait anxiously.

Of course, there were also sentries outside to keep watch. The soldiers didn't want someone to surround them and they didn't know anything.

"Do you think they will find out that the hen is missing and start looking for it?" Yakop asked worriedly.

"I don't think so!" Qin Chuan replied, "They are more concerned about whether there is an enemy. As for this hen..."

Qin Chuan raised his head towards the pot and said, "They hope it is as quiet as possible!"

Werner suddenly laughed, "What will the general look like if he finds out that his hen is missing the next day?"

"He will definitely think, where are my eggs today? Why haven't they delivered them to me yet..." the baker replied.

"Unfortunately, General!" Alfredo said, "Your hen is in our pot and will be in our stomachs soon!"

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, the long-lost fragrance came out from the edge of the pot lid. It was not until then that Qin Chuan understood why the soldiers were willing to risk being punished for "committing crimes", because this smell was really not something that ordinary people could resist... If he had such an idea not long ago, Qin Chuan would never believe it, because a chicken is really nothing to him as a modern person. He can eat it anytime he wants and it can be made into various ways. But in this era and in the troops in combat status, a chicken can undoubtedly be called a delicious dish.

Werner wanted to open the pot several times but was stopped by the baker.

"If you want to get a perfect chicken soup, you must be patient!" said the baker.

After more than half an hour, it was finally done.

At this time, Qin Chuan couldn't help but admire the order of the Germans in his heart. Even at this time, they distributed it one by one instead of scrambling. The baker gave Qin Chuan double the amount because his work was particularly important, and there was even a chicken leg.

"No, I don't need so much!" Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed: "Because I got a sniper scope."

"Forget it, Sergeant!" The baker laughed: "That was originally for you!"

"What?" Qin Chuan was stunned when he heard it.

"That was given to me by the captain this morning!" The baker explained: "You were training at that time, and the captain asked me to pass it to you. I put it in my bag and forgot about it, and then..."

"You liar!" Qin Chuan scolded.

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh softly.

In the end, the pot of chicken soup was drunk upside down, and there was no soup left. The soldiers couldn't help but sigh that this might be the most delicious meal they had ever eaten.

"I really want to ask the general what they used to raise this chicken!" The baker burped.

"It can't be gunpowder!" Werner's answer made the soldiers laugh again.

The soldiers did not dare to neglect. They hurriedly buried everything that could be used as evidence, such as chicken feathers, leftover bones, etc., and finally covered them with a layer of dry soil.

The training of the troops made them very good at doing this, so that no one could find any clues.

But there is a saying that "If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself." The soldiers seemed to be very strict, but there were still flaws.

The next morning, when the cook went to pick up eggs, he looked at the empty chicken coop in a daze.

"Where did you take it?" The cook asked the guard.

"What?" The guard ran over and was surprised to find that the hen had disappeared at some point.

The news soon reached General Strike who was enjoying breakfast. He couldn't help but throw his knife and fork on the table fiercely, and then said to the adjutant: "Go and find out who did it and pull him out!"

"Yes!" The adjutant responded.

For General Stryk, this was not just a matter of a chicken. Chickens themselves were not very meaningful. If he needed them, he could always transport ten or even a hundred chickens from Tobruk.

But this incident exposed the defense loopholes of the guard company... A guard regiment of a company surrounded the division headquarters, but chickens were stolen without anyone noticing, and it was not discovered until the next morning. This was either because the guard company was incompetent or because the soldier who stole the chickens was too smart.

If the soldier wanted to steal not chickens but install a time bomb under each Mammoth command vehicle... General Stryk dared not even think about the following.

More importantly, General Stryk thought that this violated his dignity. His soldiers dared to ignore his existence like this. If he did not pull these people out and punish them, then he would become the laughing stock of the army, and at the same time he would not be able to establish his own prestige and command the troops in the future.

In fact, it should be said that "everyone has his own opinion". If General Strike is smart, he should not take it seriously, or just think that the chicken ran away because the cage was not closed properly, so that he can really maintain his prestige.

Otherwise, if he investigates further, it will not be good for him whether he finds out or not.

Because once the officers and soldiers of the entire division and even the entire African Army know that there is such a daring soldier who stole and ate the general's chicken, so General Strike's prestige will immediately suffer losses, and it may even spread to the Italian army.

Then, if he fails to find out, it will show that General Strike is incompetent.

If he finds out... what can he do with these soldiers who may die on the battlefield at any time? What's more, a general would argue with a soldier for a chicken? This can only show that General Strike is too narrow-minded.

But the Germans are more rigorous and a bit rigid in character. General Strike, who is a German, is no exception. When his dignity is violated, he simply thinks of fighting back to maintain his reputation.

This also caused Qin Chuan and others to suffer a great deal of torture...
