The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 213 - 210: Moving

The entire Special Service Company, including Company Commander Ling Chengyan, who caused this commotion, wasn’t paying much attention to it because they were busy moving to their new camp.

The newly constructed camp and training base courtyard aren’t completed yet, but the soldiers’ barracks, dining hall, and activity rooms are basically ready.

In this era, there isn’t much complex interior decoration. A simple whitewash, installation of water, electricity, and heating, plus some basic furniture, and one can move in.

Even if the temporary conditions are relatively simple and the decoration is very, very basic, the new house is still more spacious, brighter, and cleaner than the old one. These rugged and hardened men of the Special Service Company rarely grin from ear to ear like a bunch of mischievous boys as they packed, laughing and making noise, even to the point of scuffling with each other.

Ling Chengyan came over to check on the soldiers moving houses and saw two groups facing off, holding brooms, mops, and even pillows, standing in a mix. After knocking one down, the others swarmed and started playing pile-up games, with even those who were previously on the same side inexplicably joining in, changing sides without hesitation or any psychological burden.

Watching the men piled up, all smiling like fools, Ling Chengyan turned her head aside dismissively.

The platoon leader following Ling Chengyan wanted to scold them, but seeing Ling Chengyan turn and walk away, he didn’t dare make a fuss. He quickly stepped forward and kicked the ones on top twice: "Get up!"

He didn’t hold back on those two kicks, scattering the pile-up. The men rolled off in all directions. Seeing the platoon leader with a stern face and the company commander’s back, they quickly got up, not bothering to complain about the pain, and lined up.

"You’re all going crazy from idleness after just one day without training, aren’t you?" The platoon leader harshly left a remark and turned to follow the company commander.

The remaining few exchanged glances, then drooped their heads and started packing up, not daring to make any more trouble.

Even so, they were still feeling anxious, not because anyone was punishing them, but they couldn’t settle down.

Ling Chengyan glanced around, left someone to supervise speeding up the moving process, and took people over to the new barracks.

In the huge yard, besides the administrative building which wasn’t erected and the advanced indoor training center not completed,

the outdoor training ground was already leveled, and the additional facilities needed for training were basically in place.

Looking at the unflattened areas outside the training ground, Ling Chengyan lifted a hand gently: "We have to do a big clean before the New Year, we can’t spend the holiday in a mess, get it all sorted and clean for the New Year."

The two deputy company commanders and several platoon leaders kept straight faces, none daring to show dissatisfaction or complain.

Initially, they might have had some discontent or resistance, but after three months of working together, Ling Chengyan, with her exceptional physical and military skills, ground down any such sentiments.

They have since been promoted and are more respectful and in awe of their Company Commander Ling than the Automobile Company soldiers were.

It was like with Ling Chengyan driving, yet it doesn’t highlight her personal combat power and leadership ability. The Special Service Company absolutely provided a stage for her to exert and exhibit these, while in the Automobile Company she was still just an excellent driver others could try to match. In the Special Service Company, she’s undoubtedly unrivaled, unmatched, and unchallenged, who can only be willing to submit to her.

Turning to the canteen, Ling Chengyan dropped her stern image and took interest in the soldiers’ festive meal plans.

The logistics officer presented the festive meal plan to Ling Chengyan: "A banquet is arranged for lunch on New Year’s Eve, with four meat and four vegetable dishes, two soups. In the evening, we’ll collectively make dumplings, with pork filling."

Ling Chengyan looked up: "I remember there are two minorities amongst us, right?"

The logistics officer immediately replied: "We’ve prepared vegetarian fillings for them, with eggs, shrimps, and Chinese cabbage."

Ling Chengyan slightly frowned, saying: "It’s the New Year, no need to go vegetarian... reduce one pork dish for lunch, buy a sheep, add a braised lamb dish for lunch, and lamb dumplings for dinner."

Xu Dong, following behind, laughed: "Eating in two meals, won’t one sheep be enough..."

Ling Chengyan turned back, giving Xu Dong a glance that made his remaining words get stuck in his throat.

Only one sheep not enough? Really, never enough, I guess.

Xu Dong scratched his nose, lowered his head, and said: "I’ll contact to buy the sheep right away."

While looking at post-New Year’s meal arrangements, Ling Chengyan said lightly: "Try to buy mountain goats, they’re tastier... If they’re mountain goats, then buy two!"

Mountain goats have a low meat yield, with only about ten to twenty pounds of net meat per sheep, not enough for dozens of robust men to share over two meals.

However, for stews, net meat isn’t always necessary. Lamb bones can also be used for broth. With the addition of offal from two sheep, it’s enough to add a lamb offal soup to each table.

The leaders left the cafeteria, and the logistics officer quietly tugged at Xu Dong’s arm: "For the braised lamb, we need ingredients; make sure to get the Chinese angelica and peppercorns..."

Xu Dong suddenly wanted to roll his eyes like the company commander, but really...

Still, being in charge of logistics means he’s inherently tied to these trivial day-to-day tasks, and there’s nothing he can do but tolerate it and jot down the logistics officer’s demands.

The group arrived at the new barracks building, a two-story structure that, albeit not imposing or special, had a long balcony corridor that caught Ling Chengyan’s attention for an extra moment.

Walking into the barracks dormitory, Ling Chengyan immediately felt warmth. She went to the window, reached out, and touched the radiator, feeling the warmth with satisfaction.

The barracks dormitory was a large room of about forty square meters, with six to eight bunk beds in each, everyone gets one stool, and there are small storage cabinets under the beds.

Ling Chengyan glancing around the spacious room, turned to Xu Dong: "Go ask if we can get a couple of desks, if no new ones are available, bring over the old ones to use for now."

On this move, the principle was to move in with just a bag, but with only beds and stools in the dormitory, the soldiers wanting to study or write letters have no tables, which is inconvenient.

"Charge!" A burst of chatter came from downstairs, followed by a clattering of noises coming from below to above, breaking the previous quietness and instantly livening up the place.

Holding back the words she was about to say, Ling Chengyan calmly walked out of the dormitory and stood by the corridor railings, looking down. She saw two big trucks carrying the moving soldiers stopping in front, with the quickest ones grabbing luggage and jumping off, rushing towards the dormitory.

The group was too excited, rushing to the new barracks, with no one looking up at the deadly, no, caring gaze from someone on the second floor.

The deputy company commanders and platoon leaders, on the other hand, silently looked down, subconsciously stepping back half a step, each guessing at what tasks on top of leveling and cleaning the training ground’s surroundings needed to be done.
