Chapter 303 I promise everyone that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will definitely let everyone e
Yesterday we worked until midnight before we took a break. Everyone was very tired, but for safety reasons, we arranged for eight people to keep watch and take turns after four hours. Fortunately, the night was very calm and no unexpected situations occurred, which made Lin Zhenhua feel relieved.
"It's already eight in the morning. We have to hurry and eat. After eating, we have to go back to where the transport plane is parked. The round trip is five or six kilometers. We have to run faster, otherwise there is no way to transport the fuel we carry to the city within a day."
Under Lin Zhenhua's command, everyone ate breakfast noisily and rushed to the aircraft parking area. They arrived at the destination at 9:30. Everyone came to aircraft No. 7 and No. 8, opened the cabin doors, began to take out the parts of the two three-wheeled motorcycles hidden inside, and started to assemble them.
Lin Zhenhua had anticipated the current situation and made extra preparations. He disassembled the three-wheeled motorcycles in advance, reduced their size and placed them in the transport plane for fixation. Now they can be put to use. After an hour of assembly, the two three-wheeled motorcycles were assembled. After refueling, they were specially tested and no problems were found, which made everyone feel relieved.
"Comrades, in order to facilitate oil transportation, we did not use large oil tanks on the plane. Instead, we used oil drums. Grooves were welded on the bottom and locked on top. This prevented the oil drums from shaking back and forth during transportation, and the operation of the transport plane did not become difficult. Although we have conducted many experiments, this is the first time we have experienced such a long journey."
"Let's not waste any more time talking nonsense. Let's transport the fuel to the outside of the layer first. Next, for safety reasons, we need to take out some of the fuel and ignite it in the city to eliminate the hidden threats in the layer. Only then can we live here at night with peace of mind."
Under Lin Zhenhua's command, everyone immediately followed his orders, opened the lock that fixed the oil barrel, slowly took the oil barrel out, and moved it from the cabin to the three-wheeled motorcycle. In order to ensure that there would be no problems during transportation, not much was transported at the beginning. One vehicle was only loaded with four cans of fuel, which weighed less than 400 pounds in total. The three-wheeled motorcycle ran forward on the soft ground and did not sink deep into the ground, which put everyone's worries at ease.
"Xiao Liu, we will carry 400 liters of fuel at a time. It takes one and a half hours to carry it back and forth. According to the current progress, we need two days. I told Political Commissar Zhao that it would take four days. Now it seems that we still have plenty of time. Everyone must be careful when moving. Everything should be based on your own safety. It doesn't matter if it's a little slower!"
"This time when we came out, the transport plane was fully fueled. After 12 hours of flight, we consumed more than % of the fuel. This is because we took a large detour in the middle. Otherwise, only more than % would be enough. We will take a day off the day after tomorrow, and officially return the day after tomorrow!"
The subsequent progress was very smooth. After a busy day, everyone had pulled in almost half of the fuel. The fire in the city had been burning for most of the day and had now been extinguished. All the hidden threats inside had been eliminated, which made Lin Zhenhua completely relieved.
"Hurry up and cook the canned beef and compressed biscuits, and give each person a can of fish. Such food is unimaginable in the base. Only when we are carrying out such an important mission can we eat such good food. But don't be polite. We brought a lot of food this time. Eat as much as you can!"
"Next time I come back, I must find a way to bring some bacon and steamed buns. These compressed biscuits just don't taste as good as steamed buns. The flatbreads are too hard to eat. After I go back, I will find the political commissar and ask the kitchen staff to make some fried cakes for everyone, but it will be a reward for everyone!" Lin Zhenhua promised with a smile on his face.
Ma Xiaoliu wiped the saliva from his mouth embarrassedly. It really couldn't be blamed on him for being useless. It was just that these days if you wanted to eat something greasy, you could only do so during the New Year and other festivals. The Independent Regiment could now have a meal of wild vegetables and canned meat every week, and this food was already incredibly good.
"College student, I have never eaten fried dough cakes since I was a child. You must talk to the political commissar when you go there. I don't want any reward, just give me a piece of fried dough cake to taste it!"
Liu Qingsong also interrupted and said, "College student, I heard from a monk that we should eat pork stewed with vermicelli during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Is this true or false? I have been thinking about it for more than two months. Now it is only one month away from the Mid-Autumn Festival. Can we eat this pork stewed with vermicelli during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Looking at everyone asking questions one after another, Lin Zhenhua did not feel impatient. Instead, he felt very uncomfortable. Only after coming to this era did he realize how difficult it is to have a full meal.
"Comrades, let me tell you something. We will definitely be able to eat pork stewed with vermicelli during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The market in Zhangjiazhuang is very prosperous now. Political Commissar Zhao has also collected a lot of pigs and sheep these days, and even a few old cows. We will kill them all and have meat for everyone!"
"Now our life is much better than a few months ago. At least we are not short of food. When the autumn harvest comes in a month, we will have more food. However, our base is also carrying out a big operation. The Central Plains has suffered an unprecedented drought. The people there are in danger of losing their lives. We can't just stand by and watch. If everyone saves a bite of food, we can save a lot of people. We will have to suffer for a while."
"When we conquer more bases and grow more food, one day everyone will be able to eat their fill and we can drive out the damned Japanese! Now that it's not completely dark, let's ride on a tricycle and take a good look around the city to see if the streets inside the city meet the conditions for an airplane to land."
"We have to assign two more people to look for water tomorrow. If we can't find any, we may need to dig a well to solve the problem of drinking water. Fortunately, one of the transport planes was not used to carry fuel when we came here, but was filled with water. Otherwise, we would really die of thirst here. If we can't solve the problem of drinking water, then we have to find a way to transport water here."
"Fortunately, the probability of this happening is extremely low. There is dense green grass outside, and even some grass has grown inside the city. This proves that the annual rainfall here is not small. Otherwise, it would have already become a desert area with few people!"
Everyone followed Lin Zhenhua's orders and divided the work clearly. One squad was left in charge to continue digging trenches at the city gate, and the rest began to wander around the city. After Lin Zhenhua's preliminary measurement, the area of this layer was very large, reaching 16 square kilometers. This made Lin Zhenhua even more curious about what happened here before and why such a large relic was passed down.
Everyone was busy until eight o'clock in the evening, and then they fell into a deep sleep. At this time, Ding Wei was drinking wine and chatting with Fan Yunfeng. If you didn't know, you would think that the two were good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, but in fact they were strangers with their own ulterior motives.
"Manager Ding, we have been chatting for almost an hour. It's time to get down to business! I don't intend to beat around the bush at this time. Let's just get to the point. If we delay for a day, we will lose a lot of money. After my persuasion, my master has agreed."
"We will take 40% of the medicines in the market, 30% of which will be paid with copper and salt, and the remaining 10% will be paid with grain. As for the two kinds of magic medicines you sell, we need to take half of them and trade them all with grain. This is the bottom line given by my master. If we can't reach an agreement today, I'm afraid my master will have to use some tricks!"
"Manager Ding should be clear about this matter. The Japanese are our backers, otherwise we would not be able to do such business. The reason why no one intervenes in the market now is because everyone can make money from it. But if someone can't get anything to eat, they will most likely overturn the table. Besides, our Fan family has been very sincere. I wonder what Manager Ding thinks?" Fan Yunfeng asked directly.
Ding Wei also knew that Fan Yunfeng's patience had reached its limit, and if it dragged on, he might really defeat him. However, he had to pretend to be very reluctant, but in fact, he was very happy in his heart. He didn't expect to get this price, but just to make it more realistic, he could only pretend to sigh a few times and replied in a gloomy tone: "Since Mr. Fan has said so much, I am not an ungrateful person. I will agree on behalf of the master and do it according to your price."
"It's not easy to do business these days. You need to take into account the interests of all parties. If you are not careful, you may offend someone you shouldn't offend and end up ruining everything. We have to stand by and watch, and not let anyone ruin everything. After all, there are many people who rely on this pot for their livelihood. Don't you think this makes sense?"
Fan Yunfeng coughed lightly and replied with a happy face: "Manager Ding, for the sake of safety, let's put what we said on paper. This is good for both you and me. After all, words are not enough, some things still need to be put into practice. Besides, without your note, I can't pick up the goods! Let's get the job done first, and then we can have a good drink. After finishing the business, let's not go home until we are drunk tonight!"
Ding Wei understood Fan Yunfeng's concerns, replied loudly with "OK", took out paper and pen and started to write the contract. They both pressed their fingerprints on it and confirmed the daily delivery time and place. Then they all happily accepted the contract and chatted until late at night. They were both drunk and were picked up by their respective people!
