Chapter 174 The Visit of the Director of the Meteorological Office
Boiled pork slices are almost the most popular dish in the outpost, because it is one of the few dishes that can be cooked well and tastes pretty good.
First of all, the meat slices can be cooked in a pressure cooker, and then the vegetables can also be cooked in a pressure cooker. The remaining seasonings can be boiled in hot oil, and the flavor will come out naturally.
It's not like pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli. The vermicelli becomes so soft when pressed in a pressure cooker that you can't hold it with chopsticks. However, this kind of vermicelli tastes really delicious, and it is also one of the favorite stews in the post.
But the boiled pork slices are still more popular, because they are spicy in nature, so they are very suitable for eating in this cold weather. Almost every time when supplies are distributed, a meal of spicy and delicious boiled pork slices is indispensable in the outpost.
Master Wu quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll clean it up right away."
In addition to seventy kilograms of meat, the supplies brought this time included a lot of vermicelli, dried mushrooms, and more. In particular, there were many bags of hot pot base ingredients, at least ten bags.
Under normal circumstances, we don’t add too many seasonings to this kind of hot pot base. The biggest reason is cost. Bagged seasonings are much more expensive than bulk ingredients.
So when supplies come, they only give one package a week, or even none at all sometimes.
After all, hot pot base ingredients are not usually used, so eating hot pot on the plateau is inherently difficult.
Even if the hot pot base is given, most of it will be used in the stew.
Master Wu was confused when he saw a backpack filled with hot pot base ingredients. "Platoon leader, have you brought back other people's base ingredients? That's too much."
Lin Yi scratched his head, "Probably not. The ingredients are divided into two piles. We didn't touch the pile from Class 5. It's probably because the superiors thought the meat stewed with hot pot base was delicious. After all, this time we gave it to
There’s also a lot of meat.”
When Master Wu heard Lin Yi's words, his face was filled with happiness, "Since there are so many seasonings, let's just boil the mutton at noon tomorrow. We will cook ten kilograms of mutton in one go and replenish it for everyone."
Before Lin Yi could say anything, others shouted: "Okay, let's cook the mutton tomorrow."
Lin Jing saw that everyone was unanimous and naturally had nothing to say, "Okay, today we will eat boiled pork slices and tomorrow we will eat hot-boiled mutton. Everyone has worked hard today, so take advantage of the abundance of ingredients to make up for it."
With sufficient supplies, time naturally passed quickly. In the past few days, Lin Yi led the team to run outside whenever he had nothing to do. The reason was simple: to practice combat experience in the wild in windy weather.
Of course, this was mainly due to Lin Yi's six-point meteorological skill, so he dared to keep running out. However, it was not without gain. At least they knew that when the wind direction was fixed, where to go, the wind would change.
Smaller.
The more you practice, the more you will naturally understand.
The strong wind lasted for thirteen days before gradually stopping. For the first time, snowplows also started construction at night, and it took only 24 hours to open the entire national defense highway.
When Lin Yi went to bed the night before, he saw that the national defense highway under the outpost was covered with at least two meters of snow. As a result, when he led the team to do morning exercises the next morning, he saw an asphalt-black road.
The speed of snow really impressed Lin Yi.
Today, deputy squad leader Zhu is leading the patrol, while Lin Yi is sorting out the materials accumulated over the past few days. Tomorrow, the supply truck will come to deliver supplies, and he will follow the supply truck to the regiment headquarters for a meeting. He must complete the previous stage of work
Summarize and report the current work progress to superiors in a timely manner.
But before they had been sorted out for a long time, the sentry suddenly shouted: "Platoon leader, a military vehicle is coming. It should be the leader's inspection."
When Lin Yi heard this, he immediately dressed up and went out to greet him. Unexpectedly, he opened the car door and saw that it was Deputy Commander Kong. Lin Yi quickly saluted, "Hello, Deputy Commander Kong."
Deputy Commander Kong returned the greeting, "Okay, don't stand here in the cold weather. Let's go to the outpost to chat."
There were not many officers coming this time. In addition to Deputy Commander Kong, there was also a major. Lin Yi didn't know him, but he could feel that the major had been staring at him.
Out of politeness, Lin Yi brought a cup of tea: "Chief, drink tea."
The major quickly took it with both hands and said, "Platoon Leader Lin, I'm not a leader. I'm just a staff member of the meteorological office. I'm here to visit you this time."
Visiting me? Lin Yi was a little surprised.
Deputy Captain Kong pointed at the director of the meteorological office and said: "His name is Li Long, he is the director of our regiment's meteorological office. Didn't you lead the team on foot through the windy area a few days ago to the fifth shift post to collect supplies? You also proposed to let the shovel
The vehicle shoveled the snow in place, preventing the convoy from getting into danger.
These things all show your strong meteorological knowledge, so he came to visit you to see if you have anything to offer."
Lin Yi suddenly remembered that when he reported to the regiment headquarters last time, in order to reassure the regiment that he would lead the team out, he specifically mentioned that he had studied meteorology.
This is a disaster. Although meteorology is indeed studied in the logistics college, it is only superficial. Although the notes of the eighth squad leader are very thorough, they are not compiled by professionals after all, and there are many loopholes.
The person in front of me has the rank of major, which is a typical serious scientific and technical personnel. If I talk to him about theoretical knowledge, I will definitely know how to do it.
But looking at the slightly ashamed look in the meteorological office director's eyes, Lin Yi couldn't bear to talk nonsense. Finally, he weighed it up and could only say: "Deputy Commander Kong, I definitely don't know as much about meteorology as their professionals.
The reason why I can lead you through windy areas is, firstly, by courage, and secondly, by intuition. We have also walked through places with strong winds. Last time I came back from collecting supplies from Class 5, my throat was frozen.
It took five full days to slowly recover.
So I really have nothing to guide the director of the meteorological office, I can only learn from him."
Deputy Captain Kong didn't believe what Lin Yi said. The courage and intuition he said would definitely play a part, but if you don't have the corresponding skills, courage is just the courage of an ordinary man, and you won't be able to accomplish anything.
And since Lin Yi was able to take people out and back smoothly, it proves that Lin Yi definitely has two skills, "Xiao Lin, since you have come to our eighth squad post to be the platoon leader, then don't hide it.
We are all comrades, there is nothing wrong with exchanging knowledge and sharing knowledge with each other.
Besides, Director Li is also a top student. Even if you have strong meteorological knowledge, there must be something you don’t know. Even if Director Li is mediocre, his more than ten years of work experience has allowed him to accumulate a lot of knowledge. You two should exchange ideas with each other.
, you will never suffer a loss."
Lin Jing saw that Deputy Captain Kong had said this for his own sake, so he had no choice but to nod, "Okay, then I will have a good discussion with Director Li."
