( ) Mao Shisan has been on the Haitian for a long time. Although he has been sailing on the boat, he doesn’t know where he has been. When he first got on the boat, he was locked up in the cabin for a few days. Later, when he was docking, he was washed with hot water for a few times. He shaved his head, changed into an old uniform, and finally he was able to come out to move freely.

He secretly asked his only acquaintance, Fu Ji, who was the young man who took care of him when he was in a daze. Is this what soldiers often say "purification". Fu Ji said no, purifying requires drinking medicine by breaking his butt. All he accepted was a preliminary cleaning. At least there were no fleas and lice, so he no longer had to be locked in the cabin. However, he still had to eat alone in the cabin every day. After eating, the wooden tableware was thrown directly into the sea. Some places were still not allowed to go in. Fu Ji told him that when the rest time was longer next time, the sanitary on the boat would purify him thoroughly.

A few days later, Haitian was doing a "big rest" on a small island, replenishing fresh water, and cleaning. Mao Shisan finally tasted the taste of "purification". He stripped his clothes and broke his butt and then the second thing was that the sanitary staff drank him the potion for two days, and he almost couldn't get up. When he almost thought he was about to burp, the sanitary staff drank another potion for him, so he was normal. The scope of activities was also expanded to the entire boat, and the tableware on the boat could be used for meals.

Mao Shisan has completely fallen in love with this boat that can be full and well-dressed, and it is best to stay on the boat all his life. Although Fu Ji has always boasted that Linggao is a paradise, he does not believe that there will be a happier place than this. I heard from his adoptive father that the generals in Dongjiang Town - even if they were Mao Shuai who was as big as Mao Shuai, now Huang Shuai is eating two meals. And the people on the boat eat three meals! Mao Shisan thinks that it is probably only possible for the emperor and the prime minister to have three meals? But here

Even outsiders can have three meals! In order to live in this three-meal paradise, his simple thinking tells himself that he should actively show himself, work spontaneously, help the sailors adjust sailing cables, knock ice cubes, wipe the deck, and wash the cannon chambers. But often after a few times, he refused to the person involved. They said they were full-time jobs and did not need others to intervene - Besides, there were some things he had never practiced and learned, so I really didn't know how to do it.

In the end, he found a place in the kitchen. There were only Fat Chef and Fu Ji in Haitian, plus a black and white cat named Oscar. He was very busy all day to prepare for the diet of people of seventy or eighty. He was very welcome to have multiple helpers. So Mao Shisan became a helper in the kitchen - to be precise, Fu Ji's helper. He began his career as a helper in the kitchen.

"Follow the leader and wait and enjoy your happiness." This will be Fu Ji's first sentence when he welcomes him to be a helper.

The chef and Fu Ji originally spoke a difficult "Nanman dialect". Fortunately, they could speak "new words" - that is, the "Mandarin" of the Tai O people - and everyone in the ship could speak "new words" with their own hometown accents. This Tai O official dialect sounded quite similar to his Liaodong official dialect, and they could understand each other.

A boy like Mao Shisan grows up in the midst of hunger and coldness. If you have any dreams, it is to have a full meal and have a warm place to sleep. If someone tells him that all these can be done, it is heaven.

If there is a paradise, it must be the Haitian No. 2; if there is a paradise in heaven, it must be the Haitian No. 2 kitchen.

Mao Shisan could not say such in-depth words at all, but if he could tell him carelessly, he would definitely agree with it. He was almost frozen to death and found out that after he got on the boat, he came to a perfect world that he had never dreamed of. Except for his only relative, adoptive father, who was not here, he could not find any flaws.

The kitchen of Haitian is not big, with a four-eyed stove, which burns coal with many holes. The stove has many uses, and Mao Shisan has not yet fully understood it. Most of the kitchen utensils are made of steel, which is completely different from what Mao Shisan has seen in his life. There are flat square oil pans, and there are also soup pots that look like pillars high and deep. There is also a small kitchen in the kitchen, which is equipped with a small stove. It is a place where the commander and the commander will cook. It is locked as soon as he leaves, which is very mysterious. Although there is a buzzing engine room behind the kitchen, Mao Shisan still guards this small and warm place all day long and does not want to leave.

The people in the kitchen were also very kind. The fat chef sat at the door chewing cigarettes whenever he was not busy, not teasing the cat and chatting with them two and a half-old boys. Although the mature Fu Ji was not much older than him, he was a enthusiastic and reliable partner, and he had a good cooking skills and often gave him instructions on how to do it.

The kitchen on the boat is ignited 24 hours a day, and food is always boiled on the stove. Because sailors follow the four-hour shift. The on-duty personnel in the cold waters consume a lot, and it is necessary to ensure that each shift can eat hot meals on time. Therefore, both the chef and the two assistants in the kitchen have to take turns to sleep. Ensure that someone is awake at all times to prepare food for the sailors.

However, after docking on Dozhi Island, the kitchen was not as nervous as it was a "small break" - Haitian was changed to shift 2 every day to work, so their cooking was reduced to three meals a day plus one night meal in the middle of the night.

Before dawn early in the morning, two and a half old men woke up the fat chef. They opened the air door and cleaned the coal ash in their sleepy eyes to clean the kitchen and ignited the steamer. The rice porridge that had been boiled overnight in the soup pot was whispering, and the fat chef was putting mixed grain steamed buns into the steamer. The steamed buns were made of a gray mixed noodles of unknown ingredients. It was difficult to swallow if they were eaten dry. It had to be accompanied by a red sauce that was burnt in the mouth and then burned. Mao Shisan started to be so spicy that he drank water directly. After a long time, he felt that he could not eat it without applying some "spicy sauce".

The rice porridge is mixed with various grains, and today it is added with sweet potatoes cut into small pieces. According to the regulations, it is required to change every seven days: sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum, millet, mung beans... all kinds of grains come in turn. Fu Ji said that this way you will not get "bear foot disease".

At 5:30 in the morning, soldiers who were organizing the housekeeping were ready to pay duty walked into the kitchen and lined up to receive the meals at the window. The tonnage of Haitian was not large, and there was no special soldier restaurant. They could only receive the meals and went to the cabin or deck to eat. Fu Ji was responsible for making two spoonfuls of rice porridge into each person's enamel lunch box, while Mao Shisan was responsible for scooping kimchi and half a salted egg on the lid of the lunch box - the salted egg was cut vertically with shells, and it is said that the distribution of egg yolks was the most even. The soldiers went to the basket to get steamed buns - and they were willing to eat a few.

The swaying steam lamps surrounded the steaming mist, chewing and joking formed a vague sound wave, which always made Mao Shisan feel dreaming.

The white-squad soldiers who had finished breakfast had just left, and the sentry on the second half of the night also came down to eat with frost and snow. While allocating food, a commander who was wearing a white apron and preparing to make breakfast ran over and asked, "Why haven't the eggs come yet?"

The fat chef bowed and smiled and said, "Shisan, go quickly and bring the chief's eggs up." Mao Shisan hurriedly put the chopsticks, picked up the steam lamp, uncovered the hatch cover of the lower deck, and drilled in.

After leaving the warm kitchen, a damp and moldy air conditioning came to his face. Mao Shisan shivered and carefully stepped down the stairs with a gas lamp. The lower deck was a specialized land managed by the kitchen. He walked through layers of bean sprout racks, and the breeding cabin was on the left. Five hens woke up the lights and were clamoring. Mao Shisan flipped through the cage and found four eggs.

"Not bad, it's done well." Mao Shisan praised: "The weather is very good today, let's let you go." He lifted the chicken cage to open the porthole, hung the chicken cage outside for breathability, and stuffed a few handfuls of feed before leaving.

This mixed job was originally Fu Ji's. Since Mao Shisan came, he has been his job. He has been feeding chickens, picking up eggs, and cleaning the chicken cage every day.

The orderly soldier took the egg and still looked stinky, without even saying thank you. He went straight to make breakfast. Mao Shisan was very curious about the delicacies of the "chief" who was respected by everyone as gods. So he took the opportunity to work and approached and took a few glances.

After seeing it, I found that it was nothing special. The breakfast of the two leaders on the wooden plate was just a bowl of cabbage and potato noodles - the noodles were curved and curved. Fu Ji said that this was called Yi noodles and could be stored for a long time because it was made of white noodles and belonged to the "high-end food" on the ship. Generally, only the leaders and patients could eat it - add two water-paste eggs to the noodles.

Eggs are rare, but they are not expensive foods. Mao Shisan was slightly disappointed: he didn't see anything new.

The orderly man took away two bowls of noodles. After a while, he brought two eggs from the water shop with a small bowl and sent them back: "The chief said that one person is enough for each person, and the other one is given to the patient."

"Okay, I'm just putting a note for the patient." The chef responded.

The patient's breakfast was also the noodles, but there were too many people and few eggs, so the chef had to cut the eggs and divide them into several portions, adding them to each bowl.

"The leader is really heartless." Mao Shisan praised in his heart while holding noodles to the patient's cabin.
