Zhang Ran took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lao Lin and asked him to do it.

"What's this?"

Lao Lin looked at the strange patterns on this paper and said.

"Model!"

Zhang Ran opened his mouth as a matter of course, and then remembered that there was no concept of models in this era, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, don't ask, you don't understand it...... You just say can you do it? ”

Carpenter Lao Lin looked annoyed by underestimation and said: "You have marked the size, what's so difficult - in our base area, my Lao Lin's carpenter skills, I recognize the second, who dares to recognize the first?" ”

“…… Master Lin, I didn't look down on you, don't get me wrong! ”

As soon as Zhang Ran saw Lao Lin's expression, he knew that it was the sentence that made Lao Lin misunderstand what he didn't understand, so he hurriedly smiled.

It's a pity that Lao Lin didn't pay attention to him at all, and left directly in a rage.

"These guys, one counts as one, and all of them have a rising temper......"

Zhang Ran looked at Lao Lin's back, and then thought about the gradual change in the attitude of Mao Zuanniu Da Deng Fang and others towards him, not only did he not think he was angry, but he laughed happily.

The dignified Chinese nation has been the kingdom of heaven for thousands of years!

But now, this nation, which has countless splendors and civilizations, is now suffering unprecedented humiliation!

In addition to the decadence and incompetence of the Qing government in modern times and the division of warlords in recent decades, the most important reason for this is that after thousands of years of education among the foolish people, the common people have become numb and dull, and have long been accustomed to resigning themselves to fate and resignation.

That's why thousands of people were ruthlessly slaughtered by the little devils, but there was not even a single person who dared to stand up and resist.

Such a situation is simply incomprehensible to people decades later, and they feel unreasonable!

Therefore, there will be countless people of insight who watch the little devils slaughter the people like slaughtering chickens and sheep, but the people still don't know how to resist, and those little devils still stand on top of the corpse with a contemptuous face after the slaughter, and when they call the people who are born cheap, they will be heartbroken and shout that if the country wants to regain its glory, the most important thing is to first emancipate the people's minds and arm the people ideologically!

Only when the common people awaken from ignorance, can there be hope for the nation and the country!

Mao Zuan and others to Deng Fang and others to Lao Lin dared to lose his temper with Zhang Ran, the dignified supreme leader of the detachment, when he felt that he was being despised by him, although it made Zhang Ran feel that his prestige was declining, but at the same time, he also clearly felt that everyone in the base area was waking up from ignorance under his leadership!

They are beginning to learn to face power and no longer just bow down to it, no longer just make promises.

I began to get used to speaking up and fighting back when I felt that I had suffered injustice......

For Zhang Ran, this can be said to be the most valuable thing he has gained in addition to driving the substantial progress of the armed forces, industry, economy and other aspects of the base area!

Zhang Ran believes that just like when Lao Lin and others have the courage to fight back when facing themselves, then in the future, if they face the butcher's knife of the little devil, they will also have the courage to spray the saliva on the face of the little devil!

"Good thing......"

Looking at these, Zhang Ran laughed, looking at the flying snowflakes outside the window, and felt a little spring in the sky!

"Brother Ran, what are you doing here?"

Lu Yan came in with a large stack of clothes, and saw Zhang Ran squatting on the ground, mixing some emery and glue, and then making a thin sand sheet in the mold.

"Do a grinding wheel experiment!"

Zhang Ran smiled, looked at the thick clothes that Lu Yan brought and asked, "Are the winter clothes of the soldiers ready?" ”

"Hmm!"

Lu Yan nodded and said: "It's getting colder and colder this day, and the soldiers can hide in the house or something without winter clothes in the base area, but if they go out on a mission and don't have a warm winter coat in the ice and snow, it will be troublesome, so I asked the workers of the clothing factory to work overtime every day for a while, and this is how to get it out - Brother Ran, you come and try it on, and see if the finished product is passed?" If it works, I'll have people distribute it quickly......"

Zhang Ran nodded, washed his hands and came over to change into winter clothes.

It is still a slightly bright fabric compared with the regular Eighth Route Army uniform, and it looks particularly thick.

"It's warm!"

Zhang Ran put on a set of winter clothes, and suddenly felt a lot warmer up and down!

The most important thing is that this winter clothing with a lot of chicken down is extra light to wear compared to traditional cotton-filled winter clothes!

"This set of winter clothes is four pounds lighter than all cotton winter clothes, wearing it, even if you spend the night outside, you won't feel too cold!"

Lu Yandao seems to have seen the soldiers wearing such winter clothes to go out on combat missions, not only is the march extremely relaxed, but also they don't feel cold at all, and their pretty faces are happy!

"That is, this down jacket must be better than a cotton jacket!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile, this is also the reason why he knew that chicken feathers were not a crime to make the filling of down jackets properly, but still insisted on using chicken down to make down winter clothes.

As he spoke, Zhang Ran sniffled vigorously.

Down jackets are not only lighter than padded clothes, but also warmer, which is a bit Zhang Ran knows.

But he also knows that under the current conditions, the smell of down is the key factor that determines the success or failure of this down winter clothing!

It's one thing to smell bad on your body, and he is afraid that if the little devil notices this, he will get a few wolf dogs to chase after the smell, and he will be able to bite the trace of the detachment without letting go.

The taste is there, but it is extremely light.

Even Zhang Ran wore it on his body and smelled it himself, it was not easy to smell it.

"You can't smell it, do you?"

Lu Yan said with a smile: "Brother Ran, when you brought this forward at that time, several masters of the quilt factory put a lot of effort into it, rinsing it seven or eight times with boiling water alone, and then rinsing it with filtered lime water......

Winter clothes to this extent, basically no problem, the next is winter boots.

According to Zhang Ran's idea, the team's winter clothes should not only be made into down winter clothes to replace cotton clothes and cotton pants, but also winter boots should be made of leather.

This not only keeps you warm, but also makes it waterproof to a certain extent.

It's a pity that the detachment itself, plus the Cangshui team, is more than 1,000 people, and so many skins can't be found at present.

If you want to make all the boots into leather, it is estimated that you will have to wait until the rabbits are edible in large quantities.

Therefore, the winter boots are still the shape of high-top military boots that have been improved by Zhang Ran, and there are not much changes except for adding a lot of cotton to keep warm.

Probably the biggest change is the sole.

Since the last time Lu Yan found that the soldiers' military boots were too worn, he organized female workers to conduct a lot of experiments, and finally added several layers of leather to the bottom of the sole, and even added a part of the leather thread made by cutting the leather into the twine of the shoes.

Although it did not make the abrasion resistance of these military boots reach the same level as those shoes decades later, it is definitely much more abrasion resistant than a simple mille-feuille sole......

"Okay, Lu Yan, the quilt factory has made a great contribution this time!"

Zhang Ran laughed, and asked Lu Yan to distribute the finished military uniforms first, and at the same time, he said that all the female workers in the clothing factory will be credited with second-class merit once!

Hearing the news that Lu Yan brought back, the female workers in the quilt factory were all boiling!

Remember, that represents glory!

And it's not just glory!

The detachment is different from the Eighth Route Army's simple merit recognition, which is combined with material rewards!

Take this second-class merit as an example, each of these female workers in the clothing factory can receive 20 catties of fertilizer from the detachment for free, or a piece of the ocean!

But no one will go to the ocean at all - the detachment's fertilizer is much more valuable than the ocean!

Fertilizer for the detachment, that's not for nothing!

That's to be exchanged for work, food or money to buy!

However, because the current production capacity of the detachment fertilizer plant is not enough, and the area that needs to supply fertilizer is too large, the fertilizer produced by the fertilizer plant is in a state of tight supply all the time!

In this case, the fertilizer must be deducted first, and the rest can be exchanged for food or purchased with money!

Because there is not much left, often every household can exchange grain for or buy fertilizer with money, and it is impossible to say that as long as there is food and money, it can buy as much as it counts!

Therefore, the amount of chemical fertilizer in the fields of every household is not enough!

"This time, we can use more fertilizer on our land, and we will be able to harvest a lot more grain next year......," said a female worker.

"I told my man that the times are different now, and we women also have to hold up half the sky, he doesn't listen at all, he doesn't take his wife in his eyes at all, and he bragged to me all day long that he was a militiaman!"

There are also female workers on the side who are relieved and said: "It's okay this time, the old lady has given credit to the detachment, he didn't have any fart merits, go back and see how the old lady cleaned him up......"

"Let him lie on you all night and not stop, toss him to death!"

A group of women quacked and laughed, and they were so fierce at this kind of thing, these women were so much more violent than the men!

Lu Yan listened to it with a red face, and coughed twice before saying: "The captain said, whether it is men and women, whether it is a soldier militia or we workers and ordinary people, as long as we help the detachment, we have the opportunity to make meritorious service - although we have been recorded by the clothing factory this time, we can't be complacent, we still have to remember our production tasks, we have only now completed the winter clothing problem on the detachment's side, and the Cangshui team has not started yet, and the captain's plan is not only our detachment itself, but wants Yangquan, The fighters of the guerrillas in Lingjiang also put on our winter clothes, and even the militia put on their ...... Sisters, our task is still very arduous, and we must not relax! ”

"Don't worry, Director Lu, we will go all out and strive to make everyone wear the winter clothes made by our quilt factory......"

The female workers shouted in high spirits.
