Ling Ning has been feeling depressed recently. He and his wife Zhuo Yuan are a pair of old travelers. Their biggest hobby after work is to travel around the world. Over the years, they have basically traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, they were all assigned jobs. Ling Ning ran around every day to assist various professional groups with physical work, while his wife was assigned to the logistics group together with other girls to provide food for all the time travellers.

effort.

The food carried on the ship had almost been eaten up, and everyone began to eat the local food seized from the county government warehouse. Hainan produces rice, and the travelers were lucky enough to arrive after the harvest season, directly taking away the year's worth of food in Lingao County.

He kept the reserves for himself. There was a lot of unhusked rice piled up in the warehouse, as well as many other miscellaneous grains.

On the ship, they found a rice shelling machine. The product was produced in Tieling, Liaoning. It uses rollers and rubber rollers to shell the rice. It can process up to 500 kilograms per hour. It also has a rice polishing function - it was found with the machine.

In addition to spare parts, there are also several bags of whitening agent. Of course, there is no need to whiten the ones you eat at home.

By adjusting the distance between the rubber rollers, other miscellaneous grains can be processed, and even peanuts can be shelled. By temporarily putting aside Wang Ruobin's small machine tool and using the wind turbine to drive the shelling machine for half a day, the travelers got enough food for a month.

Rice.

The staple food problem has been solved, but the non-staple food is a troublesome problem. The vegetables and meat stored on the ship have been eaten up long ago, leaving only a few large vats of pickled radish strips and old pickles. These things obviously cannot satisfy the people in the city.

Everyone brings some travel food with them when traveling, but this amount is only enough for a week at most, and Xie Xi and others have repeatedly asked everyone to try not to use modern food that can be stored for a long time to prepare for future emergencies.

So for a period of time, Chuanzhong's menu was quite miserable - pickles with radish sticks in the morning, pickles with radish sticks at noon, a little better in the evening, with an extra piece of fermented bean curd, and if you were hungry in the middle of the night, you could only chew dry rice crackers. Unless

Occasionally, someone can hunt game or catch fish by the way, and everyone can see some meat in their rice bowls.

In fact, the desolation of Hainan Island also has its advantages - not far from the city is the primitive jungle, which is rich in various wild animals. If the travelers are willing to allocate manpower to hunting and fishing, their harvest will certainly not be small.

If they had not been able to capture the warehouse in Lingao County, the time travelers might have had to allocate a large part of their manpower to do these tasks. But now, since there is no danger of starvation, Jie Xi and others who are responsible for allocating manpower are not

Focus your main energy on this aspect, and the food will be almost gone. After Wu Nanhai’s farm is established, the problem of non-staple food should be solved.

But one day, everyone suddenly discovered that there was an extra layer of oil stars in the vegetable bucket, and a few large pieces of meat, which was pork! Although it was only a little bit in each person's bowl, it was enough to make people excited.

"Has any wild boar without eyes fallen into the trap?"

Although I don’t have time to hunt specifically, it’s okay to dig some traps and lay some traps outside the city. Scout Bei Latitude has made many such traps before, but the harvest is not good. After all, it is too close to the city, so there is nothing big.

The prey. There were foxes, weasels and other little guys biting the bait back and forth, and they even trapped local residents in nets several times. Can we actually hunt a wild boar today?

"It's not hunted, it's bought, bought pork!"

Ling Ning's wife Zhuo Yuan proudly reported to everyone that there happened to be a market today, and she and a few other girls couldn't help but go shopping. Because they were all girls, the locals finally ran away without seeing them, and actually let them go.

They successfully bought a pig from a local resident.

"Are they willing to do business with us? How did they negotiate the price?"

Jie Xi was very interested in this news. Being able to do business meant being able to communicate. As long as we could communicate, it would be easy. He believed that with his ability to deceive customers for so many years, he should be able to establish a smoother communication channel.

"There was no negotiation on the price. We gave him a silver coin for killing the pig, and he let us carry the pig away. A whole pig!"

A girl named Zhu Yueyue said with a smile, while Pang Yu and others' expressions became a little strange:

"A whole ingot? Are they the silver ingots found in the warehouse?"

"Yes, didn't you say that copper coins are not allowed?"

After the capture of Lingao City, a lot of copper coins and silver coins were seized from the county government and other places. The copper was used to cast bullet casings and was a strategic material. On the contrary, the silver was of no use for the time being and was thrown into the warehouse and no one took it seriously.

However, when they heard that these prodigal women actually spent a whole ingot of silver to buy pigs, the men were still dumbfounded.

"You silly girl, that silver ingot is fifty taels of Kuping silver, you are being slaughtered as a pig!"

Ling Ning scolded his wife, and Zhuo Yuan let out a cry and asked innocently:

"Is it expensive? It's hard to bargain if you don't understand what they are saying..."

"Do you know how this pig died? You're so stupid! What was the concept of fifty taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty..."

Ling Ning jumped up angrily and wanted to teach his wife a lesson. Jie Xi and others nearby quickly tried to persuade her to stop:

"Forget it, forget it, it's useless to throw the money in the warehouse anyway."

"Yes, if you suffer a small loss, you will suffer a small loss. If the locals think that we are stupid and have too much money, they will come quickly. Do you take a small loss to take advantage of the big one?"

Pang Yu thought more deeply, and after some discussion, everyone decided to let girls come forward to purchase items in the future. However, in order to prevent these young ladies from purchasing indiscriminately or being ripped off again, and for safety reasons, arrangements must be made

A man armed with a gun as a guard.

Ling Ning was honored to get this job, so now he had to go shopping with his wife often, and then naturally became a coolie - and the coolie of a group of women...

Fortunately, the market does not open every day, and you cannot always buy something, otherwise Ling Ning would definitely go crazy.

Bei Wei and Wang Haiyang finally returned to Lingao County safely after more than ten days of deployment. When they originally planned in advance, they expected that it would only take five days, but after the actual departure, they encountered some unexpected situations and delayed some time. Fortunately, one after another they were able to

We contacted him via walkie-talkie, so we didn't worry too much.

However, the operation itself went smoothly. Beiwei refused to go into details about the process, but just told everyone that they can rest assured - the Danzhou Guards no longer have a commander, not even mid-level officers.

"The reloaded bullets of the Black Fire Yao cannot shoot beyond two hundred meters, and the scale and sight cannot match anything. In addition, there are too many residues, and the chamber must be cleared after one use."

When Beiwei returned the rifle to Tang Jian, he talked more about the firearms issue, and Tang Jian nodded in agreement:

"That's right, so now XCMG and others are working on guncotton. It will be much better to use nitrocellulose as primer in the future."

Several soldiers gathered together to talk for a few minutes. Outside, Ye Mengyan and a group of other little guys were crowded at the door, wanting to come in but not daring to come in. Beiwei noticed them and had a questioning look on his face - he

After the meeting that day, I set off to do some wet work, and I didn't know about Tang Jian's "training class".

"Oh, I'm teaching them how to fight, and they want you to help me teach them."

These little guys have suffered a lot in the past few days, but they have managed to get some practice. At least the ribs on their bodies are no longer visible, and they are quite energetic when moving. At this time, they all look eager to try, and they are very energetic.

Beiwei didn't refuse, and took the people directly to the yard, and poked their fingers one by one. Then he heard the young men making a toothless ouch, and the former scout shook his head boredly:

"The ligaments haven't been stretched, and the movements can't be done. How can I learn to fight?"

He kicked these little guys down one by one, each of them did a hundred push-ups, and then said:

"Want to be a scout? That's not easy. Do sit-ups and push-ups every day, lower your waist and press your legs to stretch the ligaments. Build up your physical fitness first. After a week, the ligaments are stretched and we can talk about the next step. Otherwise, get out."

After saying that, the cool guy turned around and left, leaving Tang Jian with a straight face to continue supervising the training of the little guys. There were sighs and gasps in the training field.

Pang Yu has finally been able to take some time out to do some of his own work recently. He has been very busy since arriving here, but he mainly uses his logical ability of overall planning to deploy human resources and truly make use of his profession as an architect.

There are not many things to do. Now that the most critical moment has passed, many things have been taken over by more professional personnel. Pang Yu can finally calm down and consider how much help his profession can bring to this group.

Building houses is absolutely necessary for the current Lingao County. There are not many houses that can be lived in in this county - of course from the perspective of modern people. Even the one they occupy now

It is a warehouse, and nearly half of the roof leaks. Many walls are still made of mud bricks, and countless small holes will be weathered over time.

The industrial group needs to have a dedicated workshop, the chemistry group needs to be equipped with a separate laboratory, and the girls in charge of cooking in the logistics group cannot always cook in that dark and dark straw shed. Not only is there a lot of fumes, but it can also easily cause fires.

In addition, everyone can't always squat in the yard when eating, like a group of migrant workers, and Wu Nanhai's farm outside the city is about to open, and a place to cultivate seeds is needed. The geological exploration team led by Huang Jiancheng is also about to return.

By then, the iron-making blast furnace must also be put on the agenda... All these require the involvement of architects. There are too many houses to be added.

Fortunately, overall management is the architect's strength, so he should make a complete set of planning and design. Pang Yujing calmly listed the projects to be built on paper one by one, and then divided them into categories according to importance and urgency to decide the order.

In the end, it was decided to build some living buildings first. Because the structures of living buildings are relatively simple, do not require high construction technology, and the effects are immediate. Of course, this is also related to Pang Yu's own character - in essence, he is still a person who is more greedy for enjoyment.

of petty bourgeoisie.
