Ruan Xiaoer ordered several dishes, including the famous local dish roasted suckling pig - but the waiter said that this dish was recently banned by Dongmen officials - Dongmen Chuiyu is a well-known dish in Dongmen City.
Status, I don’t know who gave him such a nickname as a joke, and then the natives also started calling him that.
"The big officials said that eating piglets is a waste. You have to raise them before eating them. You can eat them if you insist, but you have to pay an additional tax. This surtax is enough to eat ten piglets." The waiter said, "
You see, this is not wrong. Our store also has hanging oven barbecue, which tastes good. Even Mr. Liu likes it..."
"Okay, let's have a barbecue." Ruan Xiaoer said.
The three brothers have not met for a long time, and it is rare that they can get together like this to have a drink and talk. Everyone lives a very fulfilling life - this is completely different from the past: back then, they were busy looking for a living and running around every day.
They don't have enough to eat all day long and have to suffer a lot. But the busyness now makes them feel that their lives have meaning.
Ruan Xiaoer is already very good at operating the heavy artillery on the beacon tower. He is now training new coastal gunners as a backbone sergeant. Two new heavy artillery pieces have been shipped from the naval range. I don’t know where they are going to be installed, but the gunners are trained above.
The order was rushed.
Ruan Xiaoer is very good at artillery drills, and he is also good at training new recruits. He has developed a set of artillery drills by himself, turning the artillery drill procedures and key points in each battle position into a jingle. This is not easy to do.
, because although Li Di supported his approach, he required that the rhyme must be spoken in "Newspeak". The Cantonese rhyme originally composed by Ruan Xiaoer became unsound.
A few days after he raised this question, Li Di found Wang Tao for him. Wang Tao was considered a semi-professional folk performer, so it was very easy to compose jingles in Mandarin. This set of rhymes could be used as he wrote them, and achieved good results.
After Li Di reported it to Chen Haiyang, he decided to promote the model. Ruan Xiaoer even received a Commendation Order from the People's Commissar of the Navy for this.
Ruan Xiaoqi has not only studied mathematics, geometry, physics and other "advanced" knowledge, but also often went to the machinery factory for internships to understand the structure and operating principles of steam engines, and visited the hull structure of the 8154 fishing vessel. He built a large naval pool in Wen De Si
Learn the effects of waves on ship models of different ship types.
All this opened an unprecedented door for this fisherman kid. Ruan Xiaoqi felt extremely excited. He absorbed all the knowledge instilled in him like a sponge. Sometimes because of poor basic knowledge, he would suffer from indigestion. He just
Relying on his own memory to eat him alive. Ruan Xiaoqi soon became one of the best students in the junior class of naval cadets.
Everything that children of this age likes has already made him uninterested. All his spare time is spent on studying. What he likes most is the top-secret picture album from the library that can only be borrowed with a naval cadet's student ID card.
And they are not allowed to be taken out of the reading room. This kind of picture album is unique to Australians. Everything is lifelike. It contains battleships that are only available in the Australian navy. Giant steel ships, cannons thicker than humans... Every
Ruan Xiaoqi was fascinated every time.
This series of albums promoting the incomparable power of the Time Travel Group was created by a special group in the Propaganda Department, specifically used to brainwash the future indigenous elites that the Time Travel Group is preparing to focus on cultivating. All the pictures have been selected and photoshopped, and any inconvenient explanations have been removed.
There are also standards when selecting picture content. For example, the highest grade of battleships in the naval album is only up to the level of pre-dreadnoughts before 1900, and only a few ships appear from beginning to end. A large number of them appear in the album.
The ones shown are sail battleships and old-fashioned sail-steam engine hybrid battleships. This is to prevent the indigenous people from feeling that the Australians are technologically backward. This way, in the future, they can promote that dreadnoughts, aircraft carriers, and submarines were invented by the Cross-Travel Group. Of course, the pictures are
The explanatory text is all fictional literature. Lin Shenhe is responsible for writing it. However, in order to avoid the explanatory text being too gorgeous and conflicting with the future fabricated history of Australia, he was asked to be as vague and simplified as possible to avoid too many loopholes to be filled in the future.
.As for the chronology and date, we will not mention them at all, so as not to affect the compilation of future history books.
The three brothers have rich and colorful experiences, but now that they are reunited after a long absence, they have a thousand words to talk about but don't know where to start: The concept of secrecy instilled in them by the Navy prevents the Ruan brothers from talking about their exciting careers.
Not knowing what to say, the three of them turned their attention to the street outside the window of the private room.
Dongmen City has now become a small town. Crossing Group has expanded its customer base by transporting thousands of immigrants from the mainland. Crossing Group pays wages to employees, remunerates laborers and pays local suppliers.
The payment for goods provided a material basis for commercial prosperity. The bustling market brought vitality, which not only attracted many local people to settle nearby, but also many people from the mainland: small traders, bankrupt craftsmen, unemployed
Guys, down-and-out prostitutes and many other people with nothing came to Dongmen City, hoping to get a share of this prosperity.
The originally planned streets of Dongmen City, with one vertical and two horizontal streets, have gradually been occupied by houses, leaving little of the original large open space. Because of the thorough planning, not only has space been left for shops, pedestrians and vehicles, but also for vendors setting up street stalls.
A place has been reserved and a grid has been drawn with white lines. In some wastelands, sheds can be set up to set up stalls.
New coconut tree saplings were planted on both sides of the street. Using biogas from public toilets and garbage disposal stations, Wang Luobin installed biogas street lamps on the streets of Dongmen City. Recently, he built a gasification furnace to produce gas to supplement the original gas supply.
The amount of biogas is sometimes high and sometimes low, and sometimes it stops suddenly.
With the sufficient supply of gas, not only the street lights were extended from the main road of Dongmen Street to the branch roads, but many large shops that were willing to pay the connection fee also installed gas lights. During the planning that year, large sewers and gas pipes were built under the street.
It played a big role. If it weren't for the restriction of pipeline manufacturing in order to save steel, Wang Luobin originally wanted to completely gaslight the entire Dongmen City.
Even so, the night lighting in the entire Dongmen City is brilliant. The dim old-fashioned candle-lit lanterns have disappeared from the lighting system of Dongmen City except for decorative purposes. Even if there are still people lighting candles, they are still bright.
Much more "Australian wax".
Cheap and bright lighting not only brings security benefits, but also makes Lingao's night market flourish, which has never happened before, changing many people's living habits of sleeping at sunset. The members of Bairen Commune have become accustomed to bringing their families with them after dinner.
People come here to have a look. Some women even bring their sewing work under the street lamps of the East Market to do it.
Under the bright gas lights, the vendors and waiters soliciting business were shouting loudly, and various food stalls were lined up, making it look warm and comfortable.
"It's different from before." Ruan Xiaoer was the first to break the silence, "When we arrived in Lingao, Dongmen City was almost a wasteland except for one commercial store. There were only a few shops, and all of them were furnished.
Stall shed."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to grow so fast and so big." Ruan Xiaowu said. Thinking back to the appearance of the three brothers when they came to high school, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "We brothers don't even have any clothes on our bodies."
"I don't have any clothes at all, I'm just naked butt and my balls are exposed."
Ruan Xiaoqi's face turned red: "Second brother, what you are wearing can be regarded as clothes? A piece of rag, covering the front and back."
"Speaking of which, when the chiefs came to purify us, they looked at our farts... Well, later on, I thought they wanted us to be rabbits. I think the chiefs wanted too many rabbits."
"Hahaha." The three of them laughed together. Recalling the embarrassment and fear in the past when they were proud, not only was there no pain, but the sweetness of enjoying success was added.
"Lingao is such a good place." Ruan Xiaoqi said.
"It should be said that our luck is not bad, we can meet the leaders." Ruan Xiaoer said.
"Who would have thought that our brothers would be like this today, sitting in this big restaurant watching and eating," Ruan Xiaoer sighed as he looked at the table full of food and drinks, "I don't know how happy I would be if my parents could be alive."
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and poured a glass on the ground. The three people were silent, and a trace of distant sadness emerged from everyone's heart, as if the faces of the dead relatives were still in front of them.
Ruan Xiaoer filled the three people's wine glasses again. Everyone started chatting again.
"Xiaowu, you are rich now!" Ruan Xiaoer patted his brother on the shoulder, "I will call you 'sir' when I see you from now on."
"Brother is joking." Ruan Xiaowu was a little embarrassed, "I don't dare."
"Do we have to follow military rules in the army?" Ruan Xiaoer said, "Our instructor once said that even if the soldier is the grandfather and the officer is the grandson, the grandfather must salute the grandson. This is called discipline."
"Hey, I wish I had one." Ruan Xiaoqi was very interested in his second brother's officer's dagger. He pulled out the sword and looked at it again and again, filled with joy.
"It's coming soon. Once you graduate, you can become an officer after a few months of internship on the ship. This dagger was taught by Chief Wen personally! I wonder if you will have such luck in the future."
"We don't know when we will graduate." Ruan Xiaoqi said, "The teacher said that it will take many years to study the navy. It will take at least three or four years. Unlike you, second brother, you have become a captain now. I want to arrive
When can I become a captain?"
"Haha, you are such a stupid boy." Ruan Xiaoer is several years older, and he can see further than his brothers. "Although the class you are studying now is also called the cadet class, you read a lot. I heard Chief Li say
Yes, you will all be of great use in the future. Maybe you will be promoted faster than Xiao Wu."
