People live in the courtyard, pledge themselves to the country

When Director Wu and the others came back, the news spread quickly that someone had killed several thousand catties of prey. After getting the news, everyone in the base became excited!

You must know that they usually don't have enough food, let alone meat, and it would be nice to have a little meat in the dumplings during the festivals.

It’s not that the country doesn’t give them meat to eat, but the base is surrounded by mountains, and there is only a winding path leading to the base. Large vehicles can’t get in at all. The transportation capacity is really limited. If we want to keep it confidential, we can only give priority to ensuring food and water.

Now that they have suddenly obtained several thousand catties of meat, even if the bones are removed, each person can at least share a catty or two. How can we not make them excited.

Director Wu and the others organized two more vehicles after unloading the first car of prey, and went back to pull the prey, because one truck could not bring back so many prey.

Lin Xiao didn't follow the car to help, because Director Wu refused to let him go again, and asked him to go back to rest, and Lin Xiao simply handed over the rest of the work to them.

However, when Lin Xiao was planning to go back to take a rest, he heard a conversation between the kitchen workers in the cafeteria.

"With so many prey, haha ​​can finally have a good meal!"

"Don't dream, don't look at so much meat, everyone can share a few taels and taste good, and the rest must be marinated and left to those scientific researchers."

"It's not bad to have a few ounces of meat. The last time I ate meat was a few months ago. That time I grabbed two pieces of meat. Oh, that smells delicious!"

Lin Xiao became silent when he heard the words. These prey were just a little bit of points for him, but for the people in the base, they were delicacy beyond reach.

At this point they continued:
"It's a pity that there is so much meat, I don't know how much water is needed, and I have to trouble the soldiers of the guard group to fetch water!"

"You said that there is not even a small stream in such a big mountain, so we have to go dozens of miles away every day to fetch water."

"That's something that can't be helped. Who told us to dig the well several times but can't get any water. You're surprised. The plants on the mountain are so lush, why can't we get any water?"

Several workers carried a wild boar weighing five to six hundred catties and walked away while chatting, leaving only Lin Xiao thinking in place.

That night, the base felt like a New Year’s Eve. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and the smell of stewed meat wafted across the air. I don’t know how many people were eagerly waiting for the canteen to open.

Even those researchers couldn't stand the temptation of the scent, they came to line up early with lunch boxes, but were pushed to the front of the line by those workers, none of the workers had any objection to them being in the front, but everyone's face They all showed respect.

The chefs in the cafeteria also put out all their strengths, not only cooked all kinds of meat dishes, but also made dumplings, which are not made of white flour, but they are enough for everyone to have a delicious meal!

At this time, Lin Xiao was not waiting outside the cafeteria for dinner with them. He was called into a room by Director Wu.

The room was already filled with a table of steaming meals, and several men in military uniforms were already waiting there in advance.

"Director Lin, let me introduce you. This is Captain Zhou of the guard regiment. This is Political Commissar Liu. There are also several company commanders."

Head Zhou said with a hearty smile: "Director Lin, I didn't expect you to be so young. I want to apologize to you. I underestimated you before!"

Lin Xiao asked puzzledly: "Head Zhou, this is the first time we meet, why do you say that?"

Director Wu laughed and said, "Let's sit down and talk slowly!"

After everyone was seated, Director Wu recounted the previous incident. Lin Xiao shook his head and smiled when he heard the words: "Here is the responsibility of Captain Zhou, why should he apologize to me for this kind of thing? On the contrary, I would like to thank Zhou Tuan on behalf of the people of the whole country." You have done your duty! If it weren’t for you, how could we have a peaceful life, and I want to respect you, the cutest people!”

Lin Xiao's words immediately aroused the favor of head Zhou and the others. Political commissar Liu said with a smile: "Old Zhou, Director Lin has already said so, so don't hide your secrets, and quickly bring out the good wine you helped!"

Head Zhou shook his head and smiled and said, "You old Liu, I already knew that you've been teasing me for drinking!" After finishing speaking, he took out two glass bottles of liquor from the box under the table: "My share for the first half of the year is about [-]%. These two bottles are gone, if it wasn't for Director Lin, I would be reluctant to take them out, do you know that you have been soaked with Director Lin!"

Seeing several people staring eagerly at the white wine in Captain Zhou's hand, Lin Xiao stood up: "Wait for me, I'll be right back!"

Several people looked at each other and watched Lin Xiao open the door and go out. After a while, Lin Xiao came back with four bottles of wine.

Manager Wu looked confused. He remembered that Lin Xiao came empty-handed. Where did he get the four bottles of wine?

"Since Captain Zhou greets me with delicious dishes, I can't keep it secret, I brought these four bottles of Erguotou from Sijiu City, you guys have a taste!" Lin Xiao laughed.

Head Zhou stared at the wine bottle in Lin Xiao's hand with bright eyes when he came back from Lin Xiao. When he heard what Lin Xiao said, he took the bottle unceremoniously, opened the lid and took a deep breath: "That's right. , that’s the taste, I haven’t had such an authentic Erguotou for many years!”

Several other people couldn't wait to open the wine bottle and pour themselves a glass of wine, looking like a proper alcoholic. Even Director Wu no longer entangled where Lin Xiao got the wine.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Captain Zhou put his arm around Lin Xiao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, in fact, besides apologizing to you for this meal today, there is one more thing I want to ask my brother for help!"

"Brother Zhou, just say it!" Lin Xiao followed the words of Captain Zhou and began to call him brothers. It was the first time he dealt with these straightforward soldiers, and he liked their temper very much.

"Can you teach us how to shoot prey without a gun?" Zhou Tuanzhang asked expectantly: "To be honest, if it wasn't for the fear of exposing the base, we would have killed all the prey on the mountain long ago. How long has it been since the soldiers under my command have had a full meal, let alone meat? Seeing them so skinny and insisting on vigilance and training every day, I feel uncomfortable as the regiment leader ah!"

"You don't need to be as good as you. It's enough to shoot a few dozen or so every day without a gun. I'm satisfied if I can improve the food every now and then!"

Leader Zhou's words quieted down the heated atmosphere, and everyone looked at Lin Xiao expectantly.
