Chapter 493 Promotion

I have been working towards the end of the term these days, so there will be less updates. I will update after I finish my work at the end of the term. Thank you!

Soon, a pot of steaming dumplings came out of the pot.

Qin Chuan couldn't wait to scoop one up and took a bite. The aroma immediately filled the entire cellar.

As expected, a few soldiers were immediately burned to the point of screaming "wow"... This is a common mistake that inexperienced people make when eating dumplings. Put the whole dumplings just out of the pot into your mouth, and the sour taste will appear as soon as you bite it. Cool.

After being burned once, they became obedient. Looking at Qin Chuan's eating method, they realized that they should not rush, and should take a small bite first to let the inside cool down.

"Well, it tastes great!" The baker said vaguely while eating: "God, I never knew that canned food could taste like this!"

"That's right!" Werner looked at the dumplings in the bowl in surprise and asked Qin Chuan: "Captain, what is this thing called?"

"Dumplings!" Qin Chuan replied: "I learned how to make them from a Chinese!"

Qin Chuan had thought of an excuse early in the morning.

"Chinese food?!" Alfredo said with some disbelief: "It's incredible, why are these same things, flour, canned food, we don't even add seasonings, we are familiar with everything, but mix them together... It’s become something completely foreign!”

"The most important thing is that it tastes completely different!" Dominic said. "Like the baker said, I never thought canned food could be so delicious! Does it taste like canned food?"

"No, it's not like it at all!" Yacop took a fork and looked at a dumpling in front of him, and said, "It seems like life here is not so bad!"

“I’m starting to like it here!”

"Captain!" At this time, Colonel Slain came in from outside with a few guards: "I heard that you carried away several bags of flour. You seem to have forgotten the lesson of stealing chickens last time..."

Before he finished speaking, Colonel Slain sniffed his nose. He obviously smelled the aroma of dumplings.

"What is this?" Colonel Slaine asked curiously, looking at the dumplings in the soldiers' bowls.

Qin Chuan quickly served a bowl to Colonel Slaine, and the soldiers cleverly served the two guards a bowl each.

"These are dumplings, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said, "Try it!"

Colonel Slaine looked at the strange thing in the bowl hesitantly, but finally picked up his fork, stabbed one in and took a bite.

Then the hesitant eyes quickly turned into surprise. Without saying a word, he put the dumplings into his mouth, and then ate faster and faster. In a short time, he finished a bowl of dumplings.

"Very good food, Captain!" Colonel Slain wiped his mouth and returned the bowl to Qin Chuan.

"Did the Soviets give this to you?" Colonel Sline asked.

He thought this strange thing was Soviet special food.

"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "We did it ourselves!"

"Did you make it yourself? What to use?" Colonel Slain couldn't help but ask.

"I knew it!" The soldiers couldn't help laughing: "The colonel can't tell what it is!"

Looking at Colonel Slaine who looked puzzled, Qin Chuan explained: "Use a skin made of flour, and then wrap the can inside!"

Colonel Slaine couldn't help but open his mouth for a long time and couldn't close it. He was stunned for a while and then said: "So, is it true that you carried away the flour?"

"Yes, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied awkwardly.

"And..." Colonel Slaine touched his belly: "Am I also an accomplice?"

"seems like it!"

"Okay!" Colonel Slain said: "I have to punish you, unless... you give me another bowl of dumplings!"

With a "coax" sound, the soldiers all laughed.

While eating the second bowl of dumplings, Colonel Sline asked him how to make it. Then Colonel Sline sighed: "God, we are so stupid!"

"What?" Qin Chuan was a little confused when he heard this.

"You know?" Colonel Slain said: "We wanted the logistics department to get the flour and make it into bread before distributing it to the soldiers. For this reason, we also racked our brains to find several large cellars for logistics. Ministry’s kitchen, but now…”

As he spoke, Colonel Slaine raised the dumplings on his fork and said, "Why are we still doing this? Bread will freeze like a stone when it is given to the soldiers. If you want to eat hot food, it must be done in the morning." Roast it in the fire for a while, and the same goes for canned food, and they can eat more delicious hot food! ”

"What the colonel means is..."

"Captain!" Colonel Slaine said, "Why don't we teach them this method, and then just put the flour and cans in their hands and let them make it themselves!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan also thinks this method is feasible.

The first is that every cellar needs a fire whether food is to be cooked or not.

Secondly, making dumplings and noodles is actually not complicated at all. The former is just a matter of kneading the dough, making the skin and then wrapping the cans in it. The latter is just a matter of cutting the dough into sheets with a knife. As long as the soldiers are a little bit careful With additional training, it doesn’t take long to master the production method.

Thirdly, it can greatly reduce the workload of the logistics department.

More importantly, soldiers who can eat hot food can more effectively reduce frostbite and gastrointestinal diseases, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

"But we can't distribute all the supplies!" Qin Chuan said: "We also need bread, because we need to carry dry food with us in emergencies!"

"Yes!" Colonel Slaine nodded: "For example, during combat and transfer, or in special circumstances where cooking is not possible!"

So the plan was quickly implemented.

First, Qin Chuan taught the cooks in the logistics department how to make these things, and then the cooks promoted the methods to the entire army.

Qin Chuan also taught them how to make frozen dumplings on a whim... It seems easy to do this in a place where the temperature is dozens of degrees below zero. Just put the dumplings outdoors for a while and they will soon freeze as hard as stones.

Then pack these dumplings in bags and put them away. Whenever you want to eat them, you just need to boil water and throw a few in the pot.

So before long, the cellar was full of the aroma of noodles and dumplings. It was a pity for the Soviet people who stayed in Holm... The Soviet people only had a few small surpluses hidden in secret, and many of them were hungry. They could only watch the fragrance in the German cellar.

The German army would not share their supplies with the civilians, especially when surrounded by the Soviet army, because they could not predict when the supply would be cut off due to weather or Soviet air blockade. The German army had to store some food for emergency use.

However, the German army would not let these civilians leave, because they needed some labor from them, such as building fortifications.
