Chapter 135 Jiang Chen was stunned. The Colonel Commander personally took action.
Qianzhou is mountainous.
The canyons are full of gullies.
Mountain streams are numerous.
About a thousand meters away from the Jiang family, there is a small stream flowing from west to east.
Don't think that more than a thousand meters is not too far.
To know.
The terrain of Qianzhou is composed of mountains one after another.
So these more than one thousand meters and the more than one thousand meters in the plains are two completely different concepts.
It is necessary to climb more than a thousand meters along the winding mountain road.
It's summer again.
Above our heads is the sun scorching the earth.
The road beneath my feet was already scorching hot from the sun.
In such an environment, climbing a mountain over a thousand meters high is extremely difficult.
Even for people in Qianzhou who are used to walking on mountain roads, it would take at least half an hour to climb a hillside of more than 1,000 meters in such an environment.
By the pond.
Jiang Chen had already built a large bonfire.
However, the few little kids he ordered to pick corn have not returned yet.
So Jiang Chen simply took the scoop net and went down to the river.
Prepare to catch some small fish, shrimps, crabs and so on.
Add more food!
This stream was damaged by a group of "electricians" several years ago.
But ever since those damn "electricians" were sentenced, no one dares to electrocute or poison fish in the river anymore.
Even the use of the fish-catching net is relatively rare.
So these years.
The ecology of the creek recovered relatively quickly.
No big fish though.
But there is no shortage of wild fish the size of a finger.
Not a moment later.
Those little brats have already gone and returned.
Everyone held several corn cobs in their arms.
Jiang Chen also caught more than ten small fish and several large crabs.
He gutted the small fish first.
Skewer them with branches and roast them over a campfire.
Unshelled corn cobs and a few large crabs were thrown into the fire.
Then he took out a bag of five-spice chili powder.
Sprinkle evenly over the grilled fish.
Not a moment later.
A faint fragrance has already spread.
The little kids looked at the grilled fish with shining eyes.
Everyone's saliva was watering with greed.
Jiang Chen was amused by this.
This really made the kids next door cry with envy.
Just a few minutes.
These dozen or so small fish have been grilled.
The little kids don’t even have time to perm their hair.
Take the grilled fish off the campfire and take a bite.
Jiang Chen also held a small fish in his hand.
He laughed and scolded, "Everyone has one. Look at the way you eat it. You look like starving ghosts reincarnated."
"Dad, your eating manners are not much better than ours." A child retorted.
Jiang Chen was not angry either.
He reached out and rubbed the other's little head vigorously, saying, "Hey, you still dare to talk back to your dad, don't you? Be careful that next time your dad goes out to catch fish, he won't take you with him."
The little brother saw this.
Beg for mercy quickly.
Jiang Chen then revealed a satisfied look.
Ah!
During this period of time, he has become the king of the kids in this area.
These little brats now listen to his orders.
Hit wherever you point!
Very majestic.
After eating the small fish, the crabs have been roasted into a golden brown.
This roasted golden mountain crab can be eaten with its shell.
It tastes crispy and crunchy.
Very delicious.
It tastes good.
Unfortunately.
Too little.
After a few people finished eating crabs, Jiang Chen found that the corn cobs were not yet roasted.
So he ordered a few little kids to go down to the river to fish with him.
He held a scoop net and blocked the upstream area where there were aquatic plants.
Several children were chasing fish upstream from downstream.
We also caught several small fish and crabs.
Jiang Chen did the same.
Then skewer the small fish and start grilling.
Just a few minutes.
The little fish was baked until golden brown again.
"Dad, can we eat now?" a child asked impatiently.
Jiang Chen said unhappily, "Why are you in such a hurry? The chili powder hasn't even been sprinkled on it yet."
He pulled a few corn cobs out of the fire and continued, "Eat the corn first. After that, you can eat it."
The corns have indeed been roasted.
Each grain is full.
And they were all baked to a golden brown.
It looks very appetizing at first glance.
It's just that because it was wrapped in shells when it was roasted, the shells have been burned into black ash charcoal.
So when you eat, it is easy for the corners of your mouth to be stained with black ash.
Jiang Chen and his friends have no taboos.
Rural children are not that pampered.
Moreover, our ancestors have long said, "If it is not clean, you will not get sick if you eat it."
Even if the corn cobs are covered with black ash, it doesn't stop people from enjoying them.
The only price.
I guess half of the faces of several people have turned into Black Whirlwind Li Kui.
Jiang Chen was chewing on a corn cob while sprinkling spiced chili powder on the fish.
Not a moment later.
The pleasant aroma wafted out again.
"Oh, you are quite well prepared."
At this moment, a teasing voice suddenly sounded behind a few people.
Jiang Chen immediately looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and light blue trousers, leaning forward to look into the crowd.
He saw Jiang Chen looking up at him.
He immediately smiled and asked, "Jiang Chen?"
Jiang Chen heard the other party speaking fluent Mandarin and guessed that the other party was probably not a local.
So he nodded slightly, and then said, "Yes, you are?"
"Me?" The middle-aged man sat down in front of Jiang Chen.
Then he pointed at the golden corn cobs roasting next to the campfire and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten a single grain of rice today in order to come to see you. Can you let me eat something first?"
"We only have roasted corn and wild small fish." Jiang Chen shrugged, "If you don't mind, you can do whatever you want."
"Oh." Jiang Chen said, "These fish belong to these little kids. You can eat mine, but for theirs, you have to ask for their opinions."
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement, "You are right."
I saw him taking out a few pieces of chocolate from his pocket.
Handed it to the little kid who was a little embarrassed and shy.
"I'll trade you chocolate for fish and corn cobs, okay?"
These little kids didn't dare to reach out to take it.
Instead, he shrank his neck in fear and looked at Jiang Chen for help.
Jiang Chen first took a look at the simply wrapped chocolates, then smiled and said soothingly, "Chocolate is much more delicious than dried fish, why don't you thank this uncle quickly?"
The children then timidly took the chocolate from the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man handed out chocolates.
Then he picked up the corn cob.
Enjoy your meal.
After finishing the corn cob, he also ate up several small fish and crabs.
Then he touched his stomach and said, "I'm barely half full. I'm finally alive."
"It's okay to eat this once or twice occasionally, but it's really disgusting if you eat too much." The middle-aged man pointed at the chocolates in the hands of several children and said with a smile.
Seeing that the children were still looking at him curiously, he asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
The children were immediately frightened and hid behind Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was somewhat helpless and explained, "Country kids are all a little shy, please don't mind."
"Why should I mind? I am also a country kid," the middle-aged man said carelessly, "but I am not a country kid from Qianzhou."
"Oh, I've been here for such a long time, I even forgot to introduce myself."
The middle-aged man seemed to remember something.
He extended his right hand towards Jiang Chen and said solemnly, "Hello, classmate Jiang Chen. I am Liu Xiyuan, the former commander of the 130th Regiment of the 44th Aviation Division of the Rongcheng Military Region Air Force. I came all the way from Bozhou City to see you today."
Jiang Chen was shocked.
He couldn't imagine it.
A middle-aged man who was completely unassuming in front of her.
He turned out to be a colonel.
And the other party actually came to find me specifically.
Oh my god!
How virtuous and capable is oneself?
How could a colonel be able to come in person?
Even though Jiang Chen was used to big scenes.
But I was still shocked.
