On February 6, the sixth day of the first lunar month of the Year of the Tiger, a destroyer detachment of the navy in the northern theater, Yancheng, completed its combat readiness patrol mission and berthed at a military port in Qingdao for resupply.
During the mission, the officers and soldiers were on duty continuously day and night, and always maintained a state of high alert, so they missed the New Year's Eve dinner.
After the Yancheng ship returned to port, the ship's cooking team carefully prepared a late New Year's Eve dinner for the officers and soldiers.
Near noon, officers and soldiers in the Yancheng Ship Restaurant lined up, talking and laughing, looking forward to the belated festive dinner.
After the meal was divided, the cooks dressed in neat cooking clothes, handed bowls, divided dishes, introduced dishes, and provided meticulous and thoughtful service to officers and soldiers.
At the beginning of the New Year's Eve dinner, Zheng Wei, the commander of the air-to-air operations of the Yancheng ship, said enthusiastically: "The mission has been successfully completed during this period of time. Everyone has worked hard! In the new year, I wish all brothers good health and smooth work. I also wish our department. The new year is even more powerful, new progress is made, and it is even better!"
Why is the New Year's Eve dinner a few days late?
At about 9 o'clock in the evening on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the officers and soldiers of the Yancheng ship were washing and going to bed.
At this moment, the urgent alarm sound suddenly sounded: "Emergency preparation for war preparations and deployment"!
The ship, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, set sail overnight to perform missions in a certain sea area.
Taking into account the possible emergency pull, the Yancheng ship loaded materials in advance.
However, some "hard dishes" of the New Year's Eve dinner have not yet been served, and the original supply plan can only be cancelled.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Yancheng ship completed its mission and received a new order when it was ready to dock at the port for a short rest: go to a certain sea area to perform a combat readiness patrol mission.
The officers and soldiers have not washed their dust and embarked on a new journey.
On the morning of February 4, the Yancheng ship received a notice from the superior and the mission was lifted.
At this time, Wang Zunli, the chef and cooking squad leader in the minds of officers and soldiers, became even more busy.
After receiving the notice to return, he immediately contacted the supply station to order fresh ingredients. At the same time, according to the port arrival plan, he formulated the latest recipes to make up for a New Year's meal for the officers and soldiers.
After the Yancheng ship docked at the port, the cooking team started to get busy early in the morning, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, and side dishes in advance.
The fresh seafood bought in the morning market was sent to the Yancheng Ship Kitchen. "Chef Wang" personally went into battle, frying and steaming, and several "hard dishes" were freshly baked.
At 12 noon, the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner is ready.
The officers and soldiers enjoyed the delicious taste on the tip of their tongues and felt the strong taste of the New Year.
"Mom, our New Year's Eve dinner is very rich! We missed the New Year's Eve dinner on the mission at sea, and the ship cooked us a feast. The ship is like a big family, everything is fine, you can rest assured!" Yancheng Ship Navigation Department The helmsman Yan Zexiao opened the video to share this belated New Year celebration with his mother.
