It was almost noon, in the military camp and in the canteen kitchen, the cooks were busy cooking, and everyone was busy.

There were several large iron pots on the stove, each with a cook standing in front of these iron pots, holding a stir-frying shovel like an iron shovel, and struggling the vegetables in the pot.

Li Li, who was in the canteen, walked around the kitchen several times and was very satisfied with the cooking ingredients.

The money he earned with great hard work is used to raise soldiers, not rats.

If you spend ten cents on food, you must have eight cents on the gang. As for the remaining two papers, one is the salary of the person who handles the food, and the other is considered food loss.

Since ancient times, logistics has been a high incidence of corruption. For example, as long as you are in a dark mind, you can make a fortune without making any noise.

In this era, the most common routine of drinking soldiers' blood includes deducting food.

For Li Li, this behavior is unacceptable.

His army has a high daily training intensity, and the soldiers’ food must be guaranteed to persevere and consolidate the training results.

Anyone who dares to deduct food will dig Li Li's roots and he will kill the other party.

The Xuzhou Army's strong combat effectiveness is because the commander regards the big-headed soldiers as humans, rather than as juice materials to squeeze them.

Li Li left the hot kitchen and came to the nearby underground biogas pool. He looked at the "gas source" that supplies gas to the kitchen stove in the canteen, and listened to the administrator explaining the operation of the biogas pool.

The first question at the beginning was to ask: "Is the air conduit of the biogas tank still easy to block?"

"No more blocking, now everyone has experience." The administrator smiled, looking embarrassed.

Li Li also smiled: "You can't cover your experience. You have to bring your apprentice and let more places use the biogas pool."

The embarrassment disappeared without a trace in the laughter of the crowd. As for where this embarrassment came from, of course there are some reasons why it is difficult to explain.

When we first started using biogas tanks in Poyang, everyone lacked experience, including Li Li.

He only knew the concept of biogas tanks, and he didn't know how to solve them. After a few years of exploration, the technicians finally understood how to manage biogas tanks.

In Hanshan, there are also many problems when building a biogas tank in the military camp. Either the biogas tank does not emit air, or its air conduit (exhaust pipe) is always blocked.

If the pipeline is blocked, it is necessary to clear it. Inexperienced people will clear the pipeline, and they are often confused by the things sprayed out of the pipeline.

The biogas tank is filled with excrement from the entire army camp. You can imagine how embarrassing the scene was when these things were sprayed on the face.

But compared to the explosion of the biogas tank, being confused by the things in the pond is a trivial matter: the explosion of the biogas tank will cause death.

Even in later generations, there are occasional news: residential communities/roadside septic tanks, because naughty children throw firecrackers into them (usually the holes of manhole covers), the manhole cover was blown away.

"We built biogas tanks in the military camp and used biogas stoves in order to save money, even if the coal price in Hanshan is not high."

Li Li said it very calmly, "The fermented fermented in the biogas tank can be sold as fertilizer, which is a lot of income."

"But the premise of everything is to ensure safety."

"The experience and lessons learned after repeated safety accidents have become rules and regulations and operating procedures, which must be strictly followed."

"Using biogas as fuel to create fire is like playing with fire. Playing with fire is very dangerous. If you are not careful, your life will be gone."

Li Li said it, and as for whether the managers listened or not, God knew.

However, he is confident that these people are in charge of the biogas tank, because the management staff have a "commission" for the fertilizer and sales income from the biogas tank.

The kitchen team is also allowed to have small cooking stoves at night, cook midnight snacks, and sell them to soldiers with a few spare money.

This is the simplest way to use human nature: only if there is benefits can there be motivation.

There are not many people who are willing to make contributions and do not seek rewards, but there are too few that Li Li himself cannot make selfless contributions, so he will not force others.

All living beings are always inevitable to seek profit and avoid harm, so instead of using complicated systems to restrain managers, it is better to give some sweetness.

If these people become beneficiaries of the system, they will naturally seriously maintain the operation of the system.

After a busy day, it was already time for dinner. Li Li walked into the cafeteria and had a meal with the soldiers.

By the way, let’s talk about food issues with you and hear what everyone has to say about the cafeteria.

Of course, he also needs to listen to what the cooks said and see what the difficulties are.

The canteen in the army is under the responsibility of the "Cooking Team", and its members are cooks, that is, the leader.

The canteen and the diner are prone to conflicts, which is normal because the canteen makes "big pot rice" and "big pot dishes", and people have many different tastes.

As the saying goes, "It is difficult to adjust everyone's mouth", it is impossible for the military canteen to make the meal "satisfied with everyone". Some people will inevitably complain that the food is not delicious.

There are also complaints about "the same pot of vegetables, uneven saltiness and uneven saltiness" and so on.

There is a conflict between the two sides, but neither is wrong, so there is a "peacemaker" to coordinate, otherwise there will be resentment when the conflict accumulates.

As Li Li, it is impossible to be a peacemaker every day when he is a "grassroots" and he made corresponding arrangements for this, and someone supervised the food issue in the canteen.

This move is done today, to put it bluntly, it is just a formality.

It demonstrates his compassion for his feelings and makes the soldiers feel close to him.

Being an official can’t help but be friendly to the people and take a formality. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Because Li Li has done something that is really "unconscience".

As the end of the year approaches, Li Li becomes a "boy with money" at this time, bringing good news to the soldiers:

"This year, everyone has fought many wars. As the Chinese New Year is about to be held, the military government has prepared many exchange coupons and distributed them to everyone."

"The exchange coupons are made of paper and can be exchanged for various commodities at designated merchants in the city based on the content written on it. Everyone should treat these commodities as New Year's goods!"

This is indeed good news, and the soldiers present were overjoyed.

Li Li said again: "I'm going to say something in advance today. The specific matters will be arranged in the future, just in these few days."

"The redemption coupons are made of paper. For the purpose of anti-counterfeiting, there are some anti-counterfeiting measures. What specific measures are there? The military government will tell you when it issues the redemption coupons."

"But there are always some talented people in the world who are proficient in various skills and can forge many objects, so this exchange coupon has a deadline."

"Please be sure to use the redemption coupons before the deadline. If the deadline is overdue, it will be invalid."

As I listened, some people became confused: Isn’t it enough to just send items directly, so why bother to make a voucher?

Of course, Li Li knew that the soldiers would be confused, but he planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Because his behavior is similar to playing with fire.

If you play well, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you play well, you will be a mess.

However, when people are short of money, there are so many things to pay attention to.

He thought that as long as he played the routine well, the chance of success was still high.

......

A few days later, at the east gate of the military camp, a large number of unidentified men gathered at the door, holding cards in their hands with the words "Collection of redemption coupons".

As long as someone comes out of it, the men will shout: "Calue exchange coupons at a high price, the price is easy to say!"

The redemption voucher refers to a paper voucher issued by the military government to the soldiers. Using this voucher, you can exchange some intimate goods at some designated merchants in the city.

This exchange behavior will take effect immediately and there is no situation where "the store is temporarily out of stock".

It is precisely because the exchange takes effect immediately and there is no need to wait in line for goods, so "high-price purchase of redemption coupons" is profitable.

It is said that in the important areas of the military camp, idle people are not allowed to gather at the door, but for some reason, the gatekeepers turned a blind eye to these people and allowed the other party to "harasse" the people entering and leaving the military camp.

The gate of the military camp was very lively. In the military camp and in the barracks in the camp, soldiers gathered in groups of three or five, with their faces solemn and whispering.

Under normal circumstances, this means that the soldiers are about to mutiny.

However, the soldiers turned a blind eye and even participated in it.

Sergeant Ma Changxing analyzed the pros and cons for several subordinates at this time, and took a few exchange coupons and said slowly:

"I think whether this exchange voucher is for rapeseed oil, fine noodles, seafood dry goods, or to sell it directly to the second dealer depends on what you plan to carry home during the Chinese New Year."

"I'll save trouble. My family is all in Poyang. I'm a bachelor in Hanshan for the New Year. If I change the cooking oil, the noodles are useless. It's better to sell them to the second dealer. After getting the money, I'll have fun at night."

"What about you? You have to think clearly that now that the end of the year is approaching, every household is buying New Year's goods, and many merchants in the city are out of stock, so you have to wait for a few days."

"Especially seafood dry goods, it is very scarce. The dry goods transported from Haizhou are instantly sold out when they arrive in the city, and they buy them with money and have to wait."

"If you have the redemption coupon in your hand, you can exchange it directly and you won't miss your life."

"Your family is in Lianghuai, not far or near. You can go home with the logistics team of the military government. You have to set out in advance and you can't wait."

"If you sell the exchange coupons and get the money to buy seafood, the difference will be profitable, but can you buy it in time?"

"It's rare to buy seafood. How long does it take to bring it back in front of your neighbors? You may not be able to buy it in time for buying it now."

"Of course, if you need to use money to buy something that is not on the exchange coupon, then it would be good to sell the exchange coupon, but it must be fast, because you can't afford to wait."

After Ma Changxing's analysis, several soldiers understood.

I also understand the benefits of this exchange coupon: they have one more choice.

You can directly use redemption coupons to exchange for best-selling products, or you can sell them to the second dealer for money, and use the money to buy what you want to buy.

But it must be fast, because returning home for the New Year requires departure in advance. The logistics team of the military government will go to various places to transport supplies. The soldiers returning home can travel with them, but the team does not wait for people.

When everyone was struggling, they felt that the few light exchange coupons in their hands had become hot and rare things.

But there is no doubt that this thing is really valuable!
