Chapter 160 The Origin of the Tofu Quilt
"We are in charge of housekeeping this afternoon. The dormitory was reassigned yesterday. For those of you who have had military training, I don't need to say more about the housekeeping. Now we will go to the boys' dormitory to check it out, and then use the boys' dormitory as the standard to carry out at night. When the internal affairs inspection comes, it will be included in the assessment!"

Ye Chen told the students in Class [-] who were sitting on the grass about the standards and methods of housekeeping, and then entered the boys' dormitory.

After arriving at the boys' dormitory, they could smell the smell of stinky socks before they opened it. Many girls even covered their noses and didn't want to go in.

Ye Chen coughed, then turned around and said to everyone, "Which of your boys didn't wash their socks?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, a slightly fat classmate raised his hand in embarrassment and said, "I want to wash together today."

"Also, is there an impossibility?"

Then three classmates raised their hands, and one of them blushed.

After Ye Chen opened the door and went in, what greeted his eyes was a mess. They assembled very quickly this morning, but the housekeeping in the room was a mess. Only two beds were tidy, but the sheets on them were There was a big lump in the middle.

Leaving aside the cleanliness of the bed, there is actually a clothes hanger in a corner, which is made of wood. It is more convenient to hang a few clothes.

"Didn't I tell you that no other furniture is allowed in the house other than what we had before we came here? What are you doing with a clothes hanger? You take this place as your own dormitory and tear it down immediately."

"Oh!"

Following Ye Chen's order, a classmate who was about 1.7 meters five walked over, muttering something in his mouth.

"Okay, now let me talk about our housekeeping regulations. You already know about them before, and I'll give you a brief introduction. Everyone must be in a very boring state in the morning of the first day of work today, but theoretical knowledge is the foundation. We must treat it well. Just like we usually organize our clothes and bedrooms, except for some lazy people who can’t be more lazy, who doesn’t want their bedrooms to be beautiful and neat. What do you two do? "

Two more boys made disdainful voices about this, Ye Chen is also a person who has been there, is there any benefit for the soldiers to tidy up the housework?

he does not know!

So he was also suspicious for a while!
"The internal affairs play a certain role whether it is in the military area, at school or at home. A good internal affairs in the army can maintain good internal relations and establish a regular order of administrative work and field duties; in schools, A good accommodation environment can give people a new look and order; not to mention at home, if you don’t tidy up yourself, your parents will help you. In this case, it’s better for us to learn first-hand housekeeping The ability to tidy up, even if you go home to help, it’s good, isn’t it?”

Ye Chen said something, then looked at the crowd and said: "The cleaning of the house starts from the surface of the room. First, the bed, floor and wall must be kept clean and tidy; second, it is not allowed to mess around in the city , the walls cannot..."

Ye Chen was just about to say that graffiti should not be pasted on the walls, but he saw a naked model poster on a wall blocked by girls. It was a blond foreigner named Monroe, wearing Also quite explicit.

"Whose bed is this?"

"Report to the instructor, this is mine."

The one who spoke was Wu Jing, a student from the Department of Dance. He looked at Ye Chen with a smile and said, "I'll take it now, I'll take it now, I'm sorry, give it up quickly, this is a piece of Mary Lian Monroe, my favorite!"

Ye Chen didn't go to confiscate his things, but waited for a few people to reorganize the dormitory here, went directly to Wu Jing's bed, and said: "Now I will show you how to fold the quilt. I must be thinking in my heart who can't make a quilt, and it's not that I haven't learned it. But what you have to do now is to fold the 2-meter-long and 1.5-meter-wide quilt you are using now into a 3-meter-wide quilt in 0.5 minutes , 0.45 meters wide and 0.17 meters high, not only must the edges and corners be visible, but the error must also be within 0.5 cm. If you can do it, treat me as if I didn’t say these words, and if you can’t, then take a good look at me. How to stack it, this is also a compulsory item for the final assessment, is there anything you don't want to learn?"

As a necessary item for the assessment, although they were reluctant in their hearts, most of them were still willing to learn, so Ye Chen picked up the quilt and said to everyone: "I think you don't know much about the origin of the tofu quilt. I will give you a brief introduction, and those who are interested can learn while listening.”

"With regard to internal affairs, in ancient my country, although there were, they were not rigorous. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, which was the prototype of the modern army, were very surprised when compared with the Qing Dynasty Musketeers. If they were compared, he was the Eight-Nation Allied Forces of that period Why, the British and French allied forces all carried neatly bundled backpacks, while the soldiers of the Qing army only carried weapons. The former is the standard attire of modern armies, while the latter is the standard attire of ancient armies.”

"The army's internal affairs are an excellent way to cultivate team spirit, discipline and absolute obedience. If the strength of the Qing army is close combat, but during the two Opium Wars, many close combats, the Qing army mostly retreated, almost They all retreated when the enemy charged with bayonets."

……

"So after the Sino-Japanese War, Yuan Datou began to pay attention to the requirements of internal affairs, and there was the first quilt-making army in our country. Later, he even praised the military of the little devils, and even sent overseas students to study. After that, Huangpu The strict housekeeping management of the military academy, and the folding method of our current tofu quilt is also learned from the Whampoa Military Academy, and there was no specific shape before, and it was not until the 60s that there was the term "tofu quilt."

Ye Chen explained to the students the history of making quilts, and at the same time demonstrated, not to mention, the students who didn't pay much attention to making quilts, while listening to Ye Chen's explanation, really calmed down and looked at Ye Chen seriously. Chen moved step by step, until Ye Chen folded the bean curd quilt in less than three minutes, with edges and corners, very beautiful.

It's just that some students still didn't see the truth clearly, so they strongly asked Ye Chen to stack them again.

Ye Chen smiled, seeing that the rhetoric was still effective.

"Okay, I'll fold it again for everyone. I don't require you to fold it completely to a standard, but you must have a good appearance. It is not easy to fold the quilt to the level of the People's Liberation Army. The cotton in the quilt must be compacted. It takes a lot of care to get rid of the air inside as much as possible and fold it into a roughly square shape. But the outside has to be as neat as a knife cut, and you have to stroke it carefully with your thumb and forefinger and keep trimming the edges. So my request to you is to do Six to seven points will do."
