Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 112 People and Dogs

The corners of Dongming's lips curled up, and he didn't answer, nor nodded or shook his head—isn't this obvious? !
Jiang Ling looked at the door, went to the sofa and sat on the armrest, and said deliberately: "Hey, what happened to him? Why does he have such a bitter and bitter look on his face?"

Dongming shook his head: "It's not me. First of all, for the same person, the fourth level is more sensitive than the third level, so it's more difficult. Secondly, he himself has just been promoted, and he hasn't closed it yet. When the two ends meet, they are forced together. The pressure is even greater.”

Jiang Ling nodded, and said triumphantly, "Hey, it's a good thing I'm very friendly!" It was strange again: "Didn't you have been on duty for the past two days?"

Dongming looked at Jiang Ling proudly, and heard that while closing the magazine and putting it back on the coffee table, he said: "If you can't go out to play, just work."

Jiang Ling looked at the magazine—it was arranged neatly, vertically and parallel to the edge of the coffee table!It must be a coincidence... definitely!At the same time, Jiang Ling was even more surprised: "Is it possible to do this? If you want to take a vacation, you can take it, and go to work halfway through it, and then continue to take it?"

Dongming is normal: "I am not alone. There is more than one person with the same job content as me. Without me, there will be no problem. The current alert level is only level [-], so my first task is to 'put away', and the second is to It’s on duty. You can take vacation, why don’t you take it? If you can’t take vacation and you’re close, go to work. If you haven’t used up your annual leave, take it slowly; if you can’t finish it, keep saving.”

Jiang Ling was speechless for a moment—hey, you are still "property"!Why can't I see any sense of slavery at all? !And it sounds more free than what I give to my boss... Curiously: "Your alert levels range from low to high, from one to many? It's the opposite of what we have here. Will the saved annual leave expire and become invalid? ? How much vacation do you have a year?"

Dongming shook his head: "From zero to many. But zero is rarely used. Not on vacation, but it depends on the alert level. The situation is tense, and it is difficult to arrange when the level is high. So once you save it, you often can't finish it. Annual leave...leave is not calculated on an annual basis. The planets are different, and the rotation and revolution periods are different. About one-fifth of the time can be vacation. Work and vacation are paid at a ratio of four to one."

Jiang Ling yelled, almost staring at the stars: "So many? More than our teachers here!"

The corners of Dongming's lips curled up slightly again: "The burden is different. The greater the professional burden, the higher the leave ratio. Like explorers, there are three to one, two to one, or even one to two. Star Troopers, Star Wars Troops, usually on the starship, the area where they can move during the rest time is very limited, and the adjustment effect is not good, this must also be considered."

Jiang Ling suddenly thought of something, and turned to sympathize with Dongming and the others: "Could it be...do you usually have no days off?"

When the translator was working, Dongming slowed down by half a beat, and said: "There is a rest period. But unlike you, there is a cycle of seven days a week, Saturdays and Sundays. Duty, training, rest, these three things constitute a cycle, according to the schedule Work and rest."

Jiang Ling imagined it for a while: "It sounds so hard, and it's quite boring."

Dongming paused for a moment, and then he said: "No, it's easy." The corners of his lips curved further: "It's easier than you these days. It's easier than when I was in the camp."

Jiang Ling: "..."

——This guy is doing it on purpose again!

……

When going for a winter swim that day, Jiang Ling fulfilled what she said and the resolution she made just yesterday—she carried a shotgun on her back.Sniper shotgun.

The gun was checked by Zhao Yonggang, and the silencer and scope were all installed.Zhao Yonggang gave Jiang Ling a detailed introduction to the performance of the gun. He didn't say a word about the essentials of hunting, but solemnly instructed "Don't point the gun at people", and then threw Jiang Ling a large pack of heavy bullets—— A lot of practice is better than any course!Then he waved Jiang Ling to go to the winter swimming, and ran to the playground by himself.

It was the first time for Jiang Ling to hold a gun outside the shooting range, so he was inevitably a little nervous.She followed Dongming out of the villa, opened the insurance, loaded the bullet, carefully held the gun in her hand with the muzzle facing the ground, looked at Zhao Yonggang's back, and asked strangely: "Didn't the equipment be moved?"

Dongming was not surprised: "He has just passed the fourth grade."

"so?"

"He wants to compete."

"..." Just say you want to fight!

*********
This time they didn't drive a snowmobile.Because once Lu Lin and his entourage left, some of the horses would not have to be ready in the stables at all times, and could be provided to the remaining guests as much as they wanted.For example, if you go for a winter swim in the woods and catch a small game, then you can ride a horse.What's more, the noise of riding out is low, and it is not easy to scare away small prey.

Jiang Ling naturally took out the sweet cake, and Dongming followed Anton to a horse called red cabbage.

Red cabbage is eaten like sweet cakes, and it is the main ingredient for cooking red cabbage soup.Red cabbage soup is translated into borscht in Chinese.That's because during the October Revolution, Russians brought vodka and Russian food to Shanghai.The red cabbage soup they often eat at home is called borscht, which is a transliteration.

Of course, the taste of borscht has been improved, sour and sweet, fat but not greasy.Jiang Ling has tasted it; and the authentic Russian borscht, Jiang Ling has also tasted it in the past few days.Spicy and sour, the sourness is stronger than the sweetness.It is not suitable for Shanghu in the south of the Yangtze River, but a hot bowl is very suitable for Siberia where the temperature drops to zero in October.

It is said that it is also suitable to drink cold in summer, but Jiang Ling can't try it this time.

……

Horses are easy to deal with, but there is also the problem of hounds.

A large group of hounds are kept in a dog pen fenced with iron bars on the half-person-high brick wall.Seeing someone approaching with a gun on their backs, they all became excited, leaned in front of the railing, sniffed their noses, and barked!
Jiang Ling has never taken hunting dogs out before, she is even more unfamiliar than riding a horse, and she can't control them at all, so she was surprised when she saw this, "They know we are going hunting?" Then she asked Dongming: "Would you let them go?" dog?"

Dongming wasn't interested. He was standing a little far away, so he stepped forward to have a look: "You have a gun on your back. I've seen them a lot, so it's not surprising that they recognize each other. Let me take a look."

As a result, as soon as he walked to the iron fence, the group of hounds all bent down, raised their neck hair, and growled.Jiang Ling was taken aback, and Dongming slowly took two steps forward.The hounds backed away slowly, about two meters away, and fanned themselves automatically, outflanking Dongming, and the first few were the strongest!
The dog breeder went to the side room to get the key to the dog pen, and just after he came out, he opened his mouth in surprise when he saw this.

Jiang Ling hurriedly said to the dog breeder: "We don't take the dog with us anymore." He signaled Dongming to go away, and while walking, he spread his hands helplessly at Dongming and said, "Don't try, I bet you will have no problem letting the dog go. You see, you Worse than a bear."

Dongming looked at Jiang Ling: "Why did you bring the dog?"

Jiang Ling spread her hands: "I haven't tried it. But I heard from Alexander and the others that it is used to find the trace of the prey, and then catch it back to hit it. Because there are forests and bushes, where the hare hides, people can't see it. .And where did the wounded prey go and where did they die? People can't find it. But they can smell it."

Dongming nodded and walked towards the stables. "Let's go, I can see it, and I can find it."

Cookies and red vegetables were temporarily tied to the railing outside waiting to set off, and they seemed to be very excited.When he realized that the rider was approaching, he turned his ears and made a chuffing sound.

Jiang Ling stopped silently, then Jiang Ling caught up and said with a smile: "Okay, anyway, their eyes are not as good as yours, and they can't run as fast as you."

"..."

"Hey, what's the matter, am I right? Is it wrong?"

"Yes, that's right."

"... Really guessed right?!"

"But my sense of smell and hearing are not as good as theirs."

"..."
