Chapter 515 Brothers Gather

Ruan Xiaoer ordered several dishes, including roast suckling pig, a famous local dish—but the staff said that this dish was recently banned by the officials of Dongmen—Dongmen Chuuyu is a famous dish in Dongmen City Status, I don't know who gave him such a nickname jokingly, and then the natives followed suit.

"The senior officials said that it is wasteful to eat piglets. You have to grow them up to eat them. If you want to eat them, you have to pay an additional tax. This surcharge is enough to feed ten piglets." The man said, " You see, it's not wrong. This shop also has hanging barbecue, which tastes good, and even Mr. Liu likes it..."

"Okay, let's have a barbecue." Ruan Xiaoer said.

The three brothers haven't met each other for a long time. It's a rare opportunity to get together like this, drink and talk.Everyone's life is very fulfilling-this is completely different from the past: back then, I was busy looking for a living every day, running around all day long without getting enough to eat, and suffering a lot.The current busyness makes them feel that their lives have meaning.

Ruan Xiaoer is already very proficient in manipulating the heavy artillery on the beacon tower. Now, as a key sergeant, he is training new coast gunners. The naval shooting range has brought two new heavy artillery. I don't know where they are going to be installed, but the training gunners The order was urgent.

Ruan Xiaoer is very good at operating artillery, and he is also good at training recruits. He has developed a set of artillery operation formulas himself, turning the process and key points of artillery operations in each battle position into jingles.This was not easy to do, because although Li Di supported his approach, he required that the formulas must be spoken in "Newspeak". The Cantonese jingles originally compiled by Ruan Xiaoer became awkward.

A few days after he raised this question, Li Di found Wang Tao for him.Wang Tao is considered a semi-professional folk art actor, and it is still very easy to make up jingles in Mandarin.This set of formulas was edited and used at will, and received good results.After Li Di reported to Chen Haiyang, he decided to promote the model.For this, Ruan Xiaoer also received a commendation order from the People's Commissar of the Navy.

Ruan Xiaoqi has not only learned "advanced" knowledge such as mathematics, geometry, and physics, but also often goes to the machinery factory for internships to understand the structure and operation principle of the steam engine, and visits the hull structure of the 8154 fishing boat on the spot.Learn the influence of waves on different ship models in the large naval pool made by Wen Desi.

All this opened an unprecedented door for this fisherman's child.Ruan Xiaoqi felt extremely excited, he absorbed all the knowledge instilled in him like a sponge.Sometimes because the basic knowledge is too poor, it is indigestion.He relied on his memory to eat them alive.Soon Ruan Xiaoqi became one of the best students in the junior class of naval cadets.

Everything that a child of this age likes has already disinterested him.All spare time is spent on study.His favorite is the top-secret picture album that can only be borrowed from the library with the student ID of a naval cadet, and he is not allowed to take it out of the reading room.This kind of picture book is something unique to Australians, everything is lifelike, and there are warships only in the Australian navy.The giant steel ship, the cannon thicker than a human being... every time makes Ruan Xiaoqi mesmerized.

This series of picture albums promoting the incomparable power of the Time Traveling Group was made by a special group in the Propaganda Department. It is specially used to brainwash the future indigenous elites that the Time Traveling Group is going to focus on training. All the pictures have been selected and PS, and the inconvenience of explanation has been removed Content.There are also standards when selecting the content of the picture. For example, the highest level of warships in the navy picture book is only at the level of the pre-dreadnought ships before 1900, and only a few ships have appeared from beginning to end.A large number of sail warships and old-fashioned sail-steam engine hybrid warships appear in the album, which is to avoid the feeling that the Australians have retrogressed technology.In this way, it will be possible to promote that dreadnoughts, aircraft carriers, and submarines were invented by the time-traveling group.Of course, the explanatory text of the picture is also all fiction.Edited by Lin Shenhe.However, in order to avoid conflicts between overly gorgeous explanatory writing and the fabricated history of Australia in the future, he was asked to try to be as vague and simplified as possible.In order to avoid too many loopholes to be patched in the future.Neither the year nor the date is mentioned.So as not to affect the writing of future history books.

The experiences of the three brothers are rich and colorful, but at this moment when they reunite after a long absence, they don't know where to start with a thousand words: the concept of secrecy instilled in them by the Navy prevents the Ruan brothers from talking about their exciting career.

Not knowing what to say, the three turned their gazes to the street outside the window of the private room.

Dongmen City has now become a small town.The crossing group transported tens of thousands of immigrants from the mainland to expand the customer base. The wages, labor remuneration and payment to local suppliers provided by the crossing group provided a material basis for business prosperity.The vitality brought by the prosperous market not only attracted many local people to settle nearby, but also many people from the mainland: small traders, bankrupt craftsmen, unemployed men, down-and-out prostitutes and many others Many people with nothing came to Dongmen City, hoping to get a share of the prosperity.

The originally planned one vertical and two horizontal streets in the streets of Dongmen City have gradually been filled with houses, and there is not much left of the original large open space.Because the planning is in place, not only has space been reserved for shops, pedestrians and vehicles, but also space has been reserved for hawkers who set up street stalls, and the grid is drawn with white lines.Sheds can also be set up on some wasteland.

Coconut tree saplings were newly planted on both sides of the street. Using biogas from public toilets and garbage disposal stations, Wang Luobin installed biogas street lamps on the streets of Dongmen City. Recently, a gasifier was built to produce gas to supplement the original gas supply. The amount is sometimes more, sometimes less, and sometimes there will be a sudden loss of biogas.

Relying on the sufficient supply of gas, not only street lights have been extended from the main road of Dongmen Street to the side roads, but many large shops willing to pay for the connection fee have also installed gas lamps.When planning back then, the large sewers built under the street played a big role in the gas discharge pipes.If it weren't for the restriction of pipe manufacturing in order to save steel, Wang Luobin originally wanted to completely gaslight the entire Dongmen City.

Even so, the nighttime lighting of the entire Dongmen City can be called brilliant.Dim, old-fashioned candle-lit lanterns have disappeared from Dongmen City's lighting system, except for decorative purposes.Even if there are still people lighting candles, it is much brighter "Australian wax".

Cheap and bright lighting not only brings security benefits, but also makes the night market in Lingao flourish, which has changed many people's living habits as soon as the sun goes down.Members of Bairen Commune are used to coming here with their families after dinner.Some women even bring their needlework to do under the street lamp in the East Market.

Under the bright gas lamps, hawkers and shop assistants soliciting business are shouting loudly, and various food stalls are lined up, looking warm and comfortable.

"It's different from before." Ruan Xiaoer was the first to break the silence, "When we first arrived in Lingao, Dongmen City was almost deserted except for a shop. booth."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to become so fast and so big." Ruan Xiaowu said.Recalling the appearance of the three brothers when they were in high school, I couldn't help but be filled with emotion, "Our brothers don't even have any clothes on their bodies."

"Little brother has no clothes at all, he comes with bare buttocks and balls."

Ruan Xiaoqi's face turned red: "Second brother, what are you wearing? A piece of rag, covering the front and the back."

"Speaking of which, when the chiefs came to purify us, they still looked at our farts... Well, later on, I thought we were going to be rabbits. I think this chief wants too many rabbits."

"Hahaha." The three laughed together.The embarrassment and fear of the year.Recalling when you are proud, not only is there no pain, but more enjoyment of the sweetness of success.

"Lingao is really a good place." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"It should be said that our luck is not bad, and we can meet the chiefs." Ruan Xiaoer said.

"Who would have thought that our brothers would be like this today, sitting in this big restaurant and watching dinner," Ruan Xiaoer sighed as he looked at the table full of wine and food, "I wonder how happy I would be if my father and mother were alive."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and spilled a glass on the ground.The three of them were silent, and a trace of distant sadness emerged from everyone's heart, as if the faces of those dead relatives were still in front of them.

Ruan Xiaoer filled the wine glasses of the three of them again.Everyone started chatting again.

"Xiao Wu, you are well-developed now!" Ruan Xiaoer patted his brother on the shoulder, "I will call you 'Sir' when I see you from now on."

"Brother was joking." Ruan Xiaowu was a little embarrassed, "I dare not."

"In the army, do you have to follow the rules of the army?" Ruan Xiaoer said, "Our instructor said before that even if the soldier is a grandfather and the officer is a grandson, the grandfather must salute the grandson. This is called discipline."

"Hey, if only I had one." Ruan Xiaoqi was very interested in the second brother's officer's dagger, he pulled it out and looked at it again and again, full of joy.

"It's coming soon. As soon as you graduate, you will be able to become an officer after a few months of internship on the ship. This dagger was given by Chief Wen himself! I don't know if you will have such luck in the future."

"We don't know when we will be able to graduate." Ruan Xiaoqi said, "The teacher said that it takes many years to study the navy. At least three or four years later. Unlike you, second brother, you are now a captain. I want to go to When can I become a captain?"

"Haha, you're such a fool." Ruan Xiaoer is quite a few years older, and he sees farther than his brothers. "Although what you are studying now is also called the non-commissioned officer class, you read a lot. I heard from Chief Li that However, you will all be of great use in the future. Maybe you will be promoted faster than Xiao Wu."
