Usually, everyone would only get two steamed buns, but since they had won the battle, the General ordered the military cook to give the soldiers an extra steamed bun.
Fu Chen'an swallowed when he saw three big steamed buns made from mixed white flour and millet flour. The buns were as big as a bowl and were very fragrant.
After getting his buns, the cook scooped a ladle of stir-fried pickled vegetables and added a spoonful of lard residue for him. His bowl was almost overflowing from this.
When he thought that he was already getting an advantage from them, the last cook gave him a bowl of braised pork and said, "Squad Leader Fu, this is your reward from the Battalion Commander Gao."
Hearing this, Fu Chen'an nodded and said, "Thank you."
The surrounding soldiers saw that Fu Chen'an received extra dishes, and some of them looked at him with jealousy, but most of them were full of admiration and awe toward him.
