"When I say open fire, I don't mean shooting, but rather burning firewood for cooking and heating. There are hundreds of people on the mountain, and I'm worried that the smoke may attract attention.
To the outside world, there is only one company stationed here, with about a hundred people. It is difficult to increase the number. There are already a lot of people stationed here, and any more will probably directly attract attention and suspicion.
But the amount of smoke produced by the lives of hundreds of people is definitely different from that of hundreds of people, and the smoke is floating into the sky. From a distance, you can see a big problem, and this problem needs to be properly solved as soon as possible."
Liao Tinghui nodded and said: "This is indeed a problem, but it feels a bit tricky. It can't be solved by digging a smokeless stove, right?"
"What about using other fuels? For example, alcohol or gasoline and diesel? Normally burning alcohol stoves does not produce any smoke, so you can get a large stove and use it."
Wang Shoufei proposed a way, but Xu Zhiyu shook his head and said: "These fuels are too expensive and inappropriate. It should be OK to use coal. Although there is smoke, if you use better quality, you should be able to control the amount of smoke within a reasonable range."
within."
After saying the results, Wang Mingkun shook his head again and said: "No, all this fuel needs to be transported from outside. In order to hide it from others and prevent people around from noticing any problems, normal work, food and clothing expenses must be transported by car.
, the frequency of trains is already not low, any more would be abnormal."
Seeing that Lin Mo just nodded without saying a word, Liao Tinghui nodded and continued: "It is indeed best to burn firewood. I paid attention to it before. Just cleaning up the firewood left behind by the dwarf trees at the bottom of the forest can be used for one or two years. I usually collect it."
Firewood obtained from dead branches or repaired branches that are in the way are enough to be used without additional costs and transportation. The problem that needs to be solved is how to reduce smoke."
After identifying the problem, the four people discussed the solution and came up with many ideas, such as building an in-ground stove to guide the smoke around like a smokeless stove, or arranging the smoke guide inside the wall to increase the number of flues.
, relying on losses to reduce the amount of smoke, and even proposed installing fans to disperse the smoke, but why do people build such tall chimneys?
How should I put it? Various methods can have a certain effect, but there are also problems here and there. They are either too complicated or have various limitations or cost issues. I can only say that they are useful but don’t want to use them. In the end, I can only focus on the problem.
Proposed by.
"I'll ask the repair shop to help buy some smokeless wood stoves! Although the cost may be a little higher, there is no problem in meeting the needs here."
"Is it very troublesome? How high is the cost?" Liao Tinghui felt uneasy and asked probingly.
"It's no trouble. The main cause of smoke produced by firewood burning is that the firewood does not burn sufficiently. Providing enough air to the furnace, coupled with some special designs, can initially solve the problem.
In addition, I already have a rough theory and design plan. At most, I will ask the repair shop to make a few more adjustments and improvements. Moreover, there is power supply here, and I can add a small blower to the furnace for air intake. It doesn't take much clever design to solve the problem.
As for the cost, the materials required for an all-iron furnace, the man-hours of labor required for processing, and the cost of design and development, this thing should have economic value and can be supplemented from other aspects."
"...It's just...that simple?" Liao Tinghui couldn't believe it, and was speechless for a while, saying: "It's so easy, you should have told me earlier! Are you just watching us discuss these bad ideas here for a long time?"
Lin Mo heard this and said with a smile: "I also want to see if you have any other better methods. After all, this will have to wait for a while, and the discussion is not useless. I discovered another area that needs to be adjusted and improved.
It’s a matter of eating. To be more precise, it’s about purchasing and transporting food. It’s not a small amount for hundreds of people to eat and drink. Food can be transported for several months at a time in the name of warehouse, but fresh vegetables, meat and eggs are troublesome.
For small quantities and large quantities, storage is a problem. For small quantities for many times, the number of trains is also a problem. Moreover, frequent purchasing and transportation are also troublesome in terms of confidentiality, so we need to think of a more secure method when it comes to eating.
It’s not about being too pretentious, the solution is to solve the problem on the spot, build a small farm to solve the supply of vegetables, and build a small breeding farm to solve the problem of meat and eggs. Not to mention raising them since childhood, at least bring in more fat pigs and poultry at a time, which can be raised
Slaughter it slowly and eat it for a while.
The feed is made of bran, bran, legumes and other miscellaneous grains, and it is enough to come in with the grain. It can also be labeled as shoddy, fake, etc., which helps to deceive people here. "
"...This method can be used..." Liao Tinghui nodded and said: "On the edge of the mountain opposite, we should be able to clear out five acres and ten acres. It used to be acres of vegetable planting land, and the stone ridges were not too damaged.
, I’ll do a little tidying up, and I’ll install a pipeline to pump water up and you can plant, but what are you going to do? Do you need to find a new one?”
The top of the mountain covers an area of more than ten hectares. It is easy to build a vegetable field of five or ten acres. If it were not for the lack of good water sources on the top of the mountain, it would probably be able to support a small village.
"Let these garrison people take action, otherwise if we add a few more people here and a few more people there, we may end up with more problems."
"I'm afraid they won't be happy! These people are secretly selected elites. They just look obedient and honest, but in fact they are arrogant!"
Lin Mo nodded and said: "Then give him what he wants. From what he saw at the bottom of the valley just now, these people obviously know something about the situation and have some ideas. This job does not need to be done all day long. You can also allocate your own time.
With the time that can be spared, these people can use the training facilities of the four teams and even practice with them. If you don't believe it, you can still be reluctant.
Of course, we don’t just force them to do these dirty jobs. If you are too arrogant, you can’t do it. You can put them in there to sharpen your temper. If you meet the standards, you can choose them. However, you have to find someone else to take charge of the farm.
Live, lest you lose your mind and make a mess."
Several people unanimously raised their hands in approval of this, as long as it does not fall on themselves anyway, it is a courtesy to others! So without the victim expressing his position, this plan was unanimously approved.
"The last one is communication. Affected by communication problems, many operations have encountered problems. Since we have learned this lesson, we naturally have to find ways to avoid it.
Not to mention radio, but building a telephone communication network on this mountain to connect various facilities and important node locations to facilitate rapid communication can still greatly improve the communication and processing efficiency and response speed, which is very important here.
.
After all, this place is not small. If something happens, you have to wait for a long time to get the news. The day lilies are already cold. Moreover, because you don’t understand the situation over a trivial matter, you overreact and make a fuss, or even expose your mistakes. It is not worth it. The most important thing is that it may cause wolves.
The consequences will cause you to respond numbly and slowly, which may lead to serious consequences."
Liao Tinghui wrote down the problem solutions one by one, and finally checked and confirmed on the spot. Then after going down the mountain, he checked the conditions of nearby docks, roads, etc.
I turned back to the city and went to the office in person to summarize and report the situation. After receiving the approval, I worked non-stop to implement it. It can be said that I was very busy.
Fortunately, he did not drag Lin Mo along with him. He tried to win over Wang Mingkun, but he was stopped by Lin Mo on the grounds that it was not appropriate to show up. Lin Mo just walked around the yard where he was stationed and handled some daily affairs. Several people
I found a commuter boat and transported a batch of things back.
It was daily life at the training ground again. With the help of the villagers, the boat was unloaded and several people each carried a large bag of things back to the training ground. Due to the perfect construction of the training ground and daily needs, carrying things has almost become a daily routine.
required.
Returning to the training ground, passing through the middle and front area used for training, and returning to the rear living and learning area, I saw a bunch of people surrounding the kitchen people in the open space, watching each other order straw to roast pig.
Arrangements were made for people to move the rest of the things back to the river, and a few people joined the crowd to watch the excitement. The pigs were already burnt black, but several older chefs continued under the command of a young man.
Burning.
"Which place are you cooking the pig meat this time? Such a big fight?" Lin Mo came up to look at it and asked with a smile.
In addition to the daily home-cooked dishes in various places, pig-killing dishes or similar ways of eating are also common in various places. Therefore, every time the kitchen kills a pig, it will choose a local pig-killing dish to make it. This can be regarded as something that can well represent the local taste characteristics.
.
"It's from Yunnan. To be precise, it's the way some other ethnic groups eat it there. Just so you all gathered around. Once it's cooked, you can tear off the pig skin and eat it directly. It's said to be very popular there."
Yunnan??...Hmm...There's nothing wrong with that. The Yunnan Army in Yunnan has been involved in many domestic affairs since the late Qing Dynasty. There are also many people who are active in all walks of life and have some understanding of these.
Knowledge is also useful.
"Then you have to cook authentically. Yunnan dishes are quite unique. Don't say you made a mistake later."
Grandpa Lin Mo had lived and traveled in Yunnan for many years, and he often mentioned various things there to him. Before crossing over, he surfed the Internet and learned a lot about it. He was really worried that these chefs would not be able to grasp it.
ah!
"Don't worry, don't worry... Haha... This time we are going to attack this boy from Yunnan. He has been working in the dining hall of the Yunnan Army for many years. He can cook many dishes in Yunnan, no problem."
Chefs are quite self-aware now. In the past, they often tried to trick people into eating local specialties. Although some are indeed a bit too special and difficult for outsiders to accept, most of them are still acceptable if they are really authentic, and there are even a lot of them.
People like it.
After all, if it can become a specialty, it has been tested and even praised by many people. I was afraid that the cooking was not authentic and the taste was created in a daze. At first, the chef insisted that this was a specialty, but in the end, all the locals vomited.
Yes, it’s really...
"That's okay..." Lin Mo muttered secretly in his heart, but when he remembered who this Dian boy was, his expression turned back.
This guy was a newly selected person to supplement the second group this time. Since the training ground included a training section on trying dishes from various places, he couldn't forget to eat the dishes from his hometown and told others about some of the dishes all day long.
Because many of the dishes were strange and weird, and even some dishes were too strange and special, he also liked to tell others about them during meals. Some of them were really unacceptable, and eventually the complaints and rumors spread to Lin Mo's ears.
