However, Master Wu always melted the tofu core with his knife and melted a little of the meat, and left half of it for everyone to chop into minced meat and stir-fry in the evening, so that it would have a bit of meat flavor.
The remaining half was given to the two little guys.
As soon as the two little guys smelled the meat, they immediately pounced on it, tore into the piece of meat, and devoured it in no time.
When the backup staff saw this scene, they tutted and said, "Old Wu, you are too picky. This little meat is enough for anyone to eat. I don't think I even have enough money for these two little ones."
Old Wu was also in a bit of a dilemma. Everyone was so tired from patrolling and shoveling snow that they needed to replenish their energy. Now the only meat in the kitchen was about the size of a palm. Even if it was used for cooking, it would only have a meaty taste.
If it is not used for cooking, and people cannot replenish the meat, the meal will not be delicious.
In fact, even if this little bit of meat were given to these two gadgets, it would not be enough to eat at all.
Master Wu thought for a while, took out a piece of oil cake from the kitchen, then tore it into pieces and soaked it in milk. Then he put it in the cage and looked at the two little guys, "Don't say I abused you. Eat the oil cake and drink milk.
Life is better than ours. My old cat ate only leftover steamed buns and chopped noodles, and it was still jumping around."
When the backup staff saw that Old Wu was using this method, they stopped talking about the meat. It seemed that there really wasn't much meat left, otherwise Old Wu's character wouldn't have been so picky.
The two little guys were reluctant to eat at first, but when they found out that there was nothing to eat, they started to eat happily. Not long after, they devoured the full bowl of milk-soaked pancakes, and then lay down comfortably.
Sleeping in a cage.
After a day of patrolling, everything was normal on Lin Yi's side. Even on the more dangerous cliff sections, there was still no danger.
After returning to the post, Lin Yi turned on the individual radio and explained the situation of the post to the regiment headquarters. He then said that two cat cubs were found on the patrol road. They were suspected of protecting animals and asked the regiment to send an animal expert.
Let's go up the mountain to check together. If it's a protected animal, we'll bring it back to the regiment. If it's not, we'll release it on the spot.
This news received a response from the group, saying that when the road is opened tomorrow, people will come up together.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi looked at the two little guys scratching the cage and knew they were probably hungry. He rummaged around in the freezer and found that there was only a fist-sized piece of meat left in it.
Lin Yi was a little confused. Should this meat be for the soldiers or these two little guys?
Then he shouted, "Old Wu, come here."
Master Wu was washing his face when he heard Lin Yi's shout and ran over quickly, "Platoon leader, what's the matter?"
Lin Yi pointed to the meat, "Do you think this meat is for these two little guys or for us?"
Of course Lao Wu prefers our own soldiers. Even if these two little animals are protected animals, we cannot lose to our own people.
In the past three days, everyone has only been able to taste a little bit of meat during dinner. We are already so greedy for meat. Instead of giving it to the small animals, it is better to leave it to us to eat ourselves. Even if it is not good, we can eat half for each person, and there is nothing else.
Give them everything.
"Platoon leader, my opinion is that we should eat it ourselves. If you insist on giving all the meat to these two little guys, my bottom line is that each of us will eat half of it, and we all have to have some meat."
Lin Yi looked at the meat as big as his fist and did not hesitate. He threw the meat into the pot and started to defrost it, "Okay, let's do what you want. Before the experts in the group come to see it, we can't treat them badly."
If it is really a protected animal, or even an endangered animal, we can get an internal award at least. Then, let alone these pieces of meat, the superiors might just bring half a cow to us."
Master Wu doesn't want the half-cow. He is now thinking about when the truck transporting supplies will come up. The vegetables in the fresh-keeping cabinet were all gone last night. If the supplies truck can't come at noon, winter vegetables will have to be used for lunch.
, I can only stir-fry cabbage and stew potatoes.
Today, deputy squad leader Zhu led the patrol, and Lin Yi started to dig up the snow in the outdoor vegetable cellar. After deputy squad leader Zhu's efforts yesterday, the snow in the outdoor vegetable cellar had almost been dug out. Lin Yi only repaired it a little, and it was very good.
Easy to clean out.
Lunch was very simple. Due to the lack of supplies and not much cooking oil, the fried cabbage we had for lunch didn’t taste very good. But what’s good is that after lunch, you can see large forklifts cleaning outside the outpost.
That snow path covers a length of more than a thousand meters.
It is estimated that the supplies truck will be able to deliver the supplies within an hour at most.
They continued to shovel the snow until the backup staff rushed out and shouted to Lin Yi: "Platoon leader, the supply truck is here. Let's move the supplies first."
Lin Yicai put down his tools and came out.
The person leading the team this time was actually the section chief of the logistics department. Lin Jing noticed that and quickly stepped forward to salute, "Hello, section chief."
After returning the greeting, the section chief pointed to the person behind him and said, "This is Lao Sun, a professional cadre from the Border Defense Brigade, who is responsible for animal protection in this area."
Lin Yi nodded, "Hello, Old Sun."
Lao Sun looked at the vast white snow here and asked curiously: "Can you take me up there to see the small animals? The environment here is more difficult than that of the militia duty station, and I don't know what kind of animals they will be."
Lin Yi immediately led the way. After entering the guard post, Lin Yi pointed to the two little guys in the cage, "That's them, Comrade Sun, take a good look at them."
Lao Sun immediately squatted down and observed carefully, then took out his tablet computer and compared some pictures inside. Then he looked at everyone in shock, "Based on my more than 20 years of work experience, these two animals should be snow leopards.
It is a national first-level protected animal and an internationally endangered animal, and its number is smaller than that of giant pandas.”
Lin Yi quickly asked: "Old Sun, please take a closer look, are you sure it's a snow leopard?"
Lao Sun nodded solemnly, "A few years ago, our area established a 'three-dimensional model of sustainable protection of wild snow leopards' project, and I went over to attend the launch ceremony, so there should be nothing wrong with it.
But this snow leopard should be a subspecies, and it’s different from the ones seen on TV. No wonder you can’t tell."
When the logistics section chief heard this, he patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said, "You are really a lucky star of the eighth class post. You led everyone to win a collective second-class merit, and now you have found a snow leopard cub. This is a national first-class achievement."
The number of protected animals is even rarer than that of giant pandas, so we can’t escape this next award.”
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Section Chief, awards and other things are secondary. These two little guys have eaten a lot of our meat. As you know, we ourselves are reluctant to eat meat, so we give it to these two little guys. You know?
See if you can batch a little more of this meat for us."
When the section chief heard this, he laughed and said: "Okay, I will give you half a fan of meat as a reward. I will bring it to you next time when I deliver supplies, so that you, Class 8, can have a good meal."
