Although Lin Yi is not picky about food, when only rice was served, Lin Yi still felt a little uncomfortable.
After chatting with the 8th squad leader about breakfast last night, I thought about having to patrol the next day, so I fell asleep as soon as possible. Even if I couldn't fall asleep, I forced myself to rest.
When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn. During the morning exercises, the 8th squad leader specially reduced the amount of exercise in order to take care of Lin Yi.
But even so, Lin Yi still felt out of breath. Obviously this amount of exercise was easy to do in the plains, so why was he so uncomfortable now.
Squad Leader 8 was not too surprised when he saw Lin Yi's physical condition, "That's how it is in the plateau area. The stronger you are, the more he will target you. Because the human body's muscles consume a lot of oxygen, so the more serious your high fever is, the more serious we will be."
Happy."
"After the one-week adaptation period has passed, you will find that strength is continuously supplied to your body, and then you will really be able to become a plateau border guard."
When Lin Yi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder I felt so tired when lifting the generator last night. It turned out to be because I was strong."
After morning exercises, we went into the restaurant and started eating. The only dish was cucumber salad.
You may think, oh, you can still eat cold cucumbers in winter, this food is not cheap.
In winter in the north, cucumbers are an out-of-season vegetable. I don’t know about other places, but the author’s price here is more than 7 yuan per pound, so they are relatively expensive vegetables.
Moreover, cucumbers themselves account for a lot of weight, making them even more expensive to buy. They are basically vegetables that can only be eaten during the holidays.
It is not easy to eat it once.
But the cold cucumbers made in the outpost are not attractive. This is not a bad taste, but when you eat it, you will find that it is really difficult to taste the cucumber pieces that are as cold as ice.
.
Especially in such cold weather, after going out for morning exercises, even if you return to the outpost with a room temperature of more than ten degrees Celsius, you will still feel air-conditioned from top to bottom and from the inside out.
So no one touched the cold dish when it arrived on the table. They all scooped up a large bowl of rice, buried two pieces of cucumber in the rice, and ate it with the cold sauce.
Lin Yi didn't know, so he picked up a few cucumbers with chopsticks. After eating them in his mouth, he was shocked and started to grind the rice.
The temperature of the rice seems to be high when it is just cooked, but the room temperature is not high, so it cools very quickly. No matter how fast you eat it, after ten minutes, the rice will basically be cold.
I don't know if it was because of the high air pressure. Anyway, Lin Yi originally ate rice in the regular army. When he went to refill the meal ten minutes later, the rice was still steaming hot, but it didn't work at the outpost.
Everyone ate very quickly, especially the 8th squad leader, who directly picked up the rice bowl and ate it into his mouth. One thing to note here is that not all the tableware at the outpost is a dinner plate, because there are only twelve people, so there is no meal sharing system.
Instead, they ate just like the troops did decades ago. There was only one serving basin, an iron dinner plate with the same caliber as the rhubarb basin.
Then each person has an iron basin that is bigger than a noodle bowl, which is a rice bowl, and everyone is frantically planning rice at this time.
There was no electricity and he couldn't even boil eggs. He could only rely on rice for nutrition in the morning. Lin Yi had to go out on patrol today, so he didn't dare not eat enough, so he could only cook with everyone.
After finishing two basins, Lin Yi touched his swollen belly and exhaled, "This is the first time I've eaten so much since I came to the army."
After the 8th squad leader finished eating, he began to stuff compressed dry food into his pocket. Originally, he thought that it was Lin Yi's first patrol and he wanted to take two packs of self-heating food to improve the patrol food. However, considering the cold weather, he wanted to improve the patrol food.
The food is not cooked well, and the uncooked rice is uncomfortable to eat, so I might as well bring two more compressed biscuits.
So I took my hands away from the self-heating food.
The other patrol soldiers also started to stuff dry food into their pockets along with the squad leader. They took whatever the squad leader took. When they saw that the squad leader didn't touch the self-heating food, everyone didn't look at the self-heating food. They just focused on it.
Hold compressed dry food.
Lin Yi was shocked when he saw everyone stuffing whole bags of compressed dry rations into their pockets, "Our army is very hungry with compressed dry rations. Three pieces of compressed dry rations are enough to fill our stomachs. Why are you carrying two bags each?"
One pack is ten yuan, two packs is a full twenty yuan, which is enough for three days.
Squad Leader 8 chuckled and said: "It doesn't hurt to bring more. The patrol road is extremely difficult. If something happens, three days of rations will be enough to support the rescue."
"And we only ate rice in the morning, which didn't have enough calories. We'll have to add dry food two hours later, so don't worry if you bring more."
After hearing this, Lin Yi felt that it made sense and immediately stuffed dry food into his pocket.
After a while, Master Wu also ran out and handed Lin Yi a paper bag. It looked like a paper bag for self-heating food.
Lin Yi was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that on a windy day of minus 30 degrees, the self-heating food will be hot? I don't think anyone has brought it, so I won't bring it either."
Master Wu smiled mysteriously, and then carefully opened the mouth. Inside were dozens of slices of cooked yak meat, "Platoon leader, you can take this with you to eat on the road."
Lin Yi looked at Master Wu in surprise, "If you have this thing, why didn't you take it out earlier? You should share it with everyone at breakfast, so that everyone won't be busy grinding rice."
Master Wu shook his head and said, "No need to point it out. Those who stay at the outpost and stand guard do not consume as much calories as you. We don't need to eat meat. You have to eat when you go out on patrol."
Squad Leader 8 said: "Platoon Leader Lin, please keep the meat in your pocket. This is the rule of the post. Patrolling is much more difficult than preparing for duty at the post. We can eat this meat with peace of mind."
After hearing what squad leader 8 said, Lin Yi stopped being pretentious and kicked the meat in his arms, hugging him tightly. Now he could have a nice meal of meat at noon.
One person can get at least ten large pieces, which is estimated to be half a catty. This amount is by no means small.
After putting on weapons, telescopes and other equipment, Lin Yi picked up the national flag and walked out of the post. Only the patrol leader could hold the national flag. As the top leader of the patrol team, Lin Yi should take it.
The 8th squad leader stepped back, put a coil of climbing rope on his back, picked up a pickaxe, and walked behind Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked at the pickaxe and was a little confused, "Is the pickaxe still needed for patrolling?"
Monitor 8 smiled and said, "You'll know later."
After embarking on the patrol, Squad Leader 8 and Lin Yi changed positions and walked at the front of the team. The strong wind last night shook the entire snow mountain. The traces of the patrol yesterday were covered by heavy snow, and there was no trace of them at all.
Can't see it anymore.
If the 8th squad leader is not a veteran, he can find the patrol route just by relying on the exposed rocks. As he walked, he said, "This place is a slightly dangerous area. Look at this stone. It is a landmark. Below the stone is
I fell into a sloping valley more than 20 meters deep last time, but it was nothing serious. I could climb out using my hands and feet."
Lin Yi quickly took out his pencil book and wrote down the first landmark point. The 8th squad leader smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the point is like this. As long as there is no strong wind, it usually won't fall, and everyone is watching you.
As long as you go a little bit wrong, you will be reminded in time."
By the way, the 8th squad leader quickly looked at the soldier carrying the individual radio on his back and said, "Report to the regiment that the 8th squad patrol unit has started to carry out infantry patrol missions at the predetermined point."
