Chapter 34: The East Wind Arrives

"Oh......" Liu Lihua was a little embarrassed, "My mother also wants to come, but ...... I'm afraid you won't accept it. ”

"What does your mom do?" Someone on the side asked curiously.

"I have been a teacher in a school for more than 20 years."

"Teach what?"

"I taught everything, and finally became a principal."

"That's absolutely welcome!" Du Yande's face was happy, there were quite a few people who had been teachers in the crowd, but none of them had the experience of being a principal.

"Recently, everyone has tried not to go out, and if they do, they must ask for leave, and the logistics team has sent things to your dormitories. In addition, the internal affairs team may need to check the luggage brought by the comrades, mainly because they are afraid that they have forgotten to bring something, and some need to be handed over to the internal affairs team for unified use," Du Yande smiled. "Of course, we will convert it to everyone according to the price, and as for whether it is converted into shares or cash, it will be according to the requirements of the comrades. Because the plenary meeting is about to be held, everyone will have a good rest for two days, and log in to the Internet café with an ID card to find internal information, which contains an overview of our plan and the completion of the plan. ”

"In addition, you can take this time to think more, if you want to quit, all the luggage and money can be returned to everyone."

"If you want to quit, you won't come directly." Tang Shuai, who was passing by not far away, said it directly with a soup spoon. The people on the side nodded again and again.

"Think about it more, we have disappeared directly from this world, people are not grass and trees, there is always someone to worry about, if you regret it when you get there, there is no return ticket for sale."

Everyone slowly dispersed, some went to sing, some went to the Internet, and more went to the activity room to find their more familiar interest groups to participate in the discussion.

Du Yande just wanted to turn around, but was stopped by Tang Shuai, "Don't go, don't go, what should I do?" ”

"You? What to do? Du Yande couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes," Tang Shuaiti slipped the soup spoon around twice, and said, "I am now in charge of the canteen, and my subordinates are seven or eight locally hired helpers, and I came over to help with Sister Tian some time ago, so I am finally not so busy, but this canteen is responsible for the food of hundreds of people, so you just threw it to me, and you look up to me too much, right?" ”

Du Yande suddenly remembered that in the past few months, Tang Shuai has been working hard in the canteen, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, so he quickly shook hands with Tang Shuai, "You have worked hard during this time, so come over to the executive committee office, let's discuss this matter, right?" ”

"No," Tang Shuai waved the soup spoon in his hand, "I'm still cooking, let's discuss it, the food can't just rely on me and Sister Tian, fortunately, Sister Tian used to specialize in canteens, otherwise I really can't stand it." The main thing is to solve the manpower problem for me, I am mainly understaffed here, there are only about ten people, and it takes hours just to prepare food in the morning. With that, Tang Shuai ran in the direction of the cafeteria.

Du Yande couldn't help frowning and walked to the office, someone tapped him on the shoulder on the way, and turned his head to see that it was his wife Cao Xiang, "What's wrong?" A sad face. ”

"Hey, don't mention it," Du Yande repeated what Tang Shuai said just now.

Cao Xiang said with a smile, "Those of you who are members of the executive committee, it seems that you are worried about some national events every day, but you have forgotten that there is a saying in this world that the people take food as the sky." ”

Du Yande smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Who would have thought of such a thing?" Now where can I find someone who is willing to go to the cafeteria? ”

"That's a lot." Cao Xiang smiled and said, "Now there are a lot of girls in the logistics team, all of whom have been assigned to secretarial work by you, and many of them are not familiar with secretarial things." ”

"You mean to assign them to the cafeteria to help cook?" Du Yande couldn't help frowning, "With so many people eating, they must have complaints when they go to cook, and many girls now don't know how to cook at all." ”

"Isn't this a thing learned? Didn't I know how to cook when I first got married? Didn't you learn slowly? Cao Xiang crossed his waist and said to Du Yande with a smile, "There is always a process for everything." ”

Soon all the people in the logistics team were called into the conference room.

"Hello comrades," Du Yande just finished speaking, and was teased by Jiang Yan.

"I said Team Leader Du!" The slender woman continued to put her arms around Cao Xiang's shoulders and teased Du Yande. "Your wife has told you a lot of stories, you said that you became a soldier, why did you learn so many things? If you knew you were going to cross, what was the use of you learning English? It's better to come out early to go to a technical school. ”

A group of young women next to him also gathered around to make fun of Du Yande, and from time to time they laughed and called the group leader twice, showing the crazy energy of the women getting together vividly.

Du Yande smiled bitterly and looked at his logistics group, a mess of women's troops. As fewer and fewer people are willing to stay and participate in the crossing, the distribution of personnel in the crossing group is stretched. At this time, those with specialties have already gone to the corresponding category of the group, so the wives and girlfriends they brought were assigned to the logistics group, and there were several mothers among them.

"We have a very difficult problem now," Du Yande waited for them to expend some of their energy before speaking, and it was a headache to speak to a group of women who were talking happily. "As you know, the main thing our logistics team has to solve is everyone's trivial matters, and solving the food problem should be the first place."

"Don't let me cook, I hate cooking the most." Immediately, someone threw bricks underneath.

"I don't know how to cook." The girl who spoke was timid, "But I can learn." Sitting at a desk every day gives me back pain. ”

This sentence immediately resonated with the women, who condemned the huge orders and massive audit data of the Executive Committee. Du Yande was speechless, he knew that these women in front of him had worked very hard during this time, and they had to constantly review these data every day, and many times they had to toss until ** o'clock in the evening to rest.

"Don't mention it, I wasn't so tired when I was an accountant in a finance company before......"

"Don't worry, everyone, I have something to announce," Du Yande had to interrupt their chat, "I was found in the canteen just now, because in the past few months, the canteen has been very short of manpower, they not only have to prepare ingredients and cook, but also clean the dishes and chopsticks, so they want to increase the number of people." ”

"I'll go, it's better than sitting in the office."

"Don't worry, will you choose the dishes? Killing chickens and pigs is the most terrible. The girl who spoke looked terrified. Why don't you wrap up the cafeteria? ”

"That's it, it's better to just pack the canteen out, there are hundreds of people here, we women can't turn over those big pots, every time I see Master Tang take a shovel and turn over the vegetables there, I'm a little afraid."

"This doesn't fit, does it?" Du Yande was a little depressed, "It's nothing for us to outsource the canteen in this plane, but when everyone passes through and arrives in the new plane, where can we outsource the canteen?" Instead of catching blind at that time, it is better to start now. ”

A crisp voice suddenly came from the side, "Executive Committee Du is right, and everyone knows that the canteen is outsourced, so we can't always guard others to cook, right?" In addition, in a new time and space, there is no place to order fast food. It was Jiang Yan who spoke, and Du Yande was stunned for a moment before remembering that Jiang Yan had done catering procurement in his husband's company, and he was really a veteran.

The women were quiet, and everyone understood why they insisted on running their own cafeteria, and when they arrived in the new world, there were no fast food restaurants.

"Jiang Yan, I remember that you did catering procurement, right?" Du Yande asked.

Jiang Yan nodded, "I've been doing it for several years." ”

"Then you're in charge of sourcing the ingredients, you're much more familiar with it than we do." Du Yande said, "You still have the right to purchase or something." ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'm greedy for ink?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile, Du Yande shook his head directly, "It's impossible, it's all going to be crossed anyway, no matter how much money you pass through, it's waste paper, you are a smart woman, you won't do this kind of thing." ”

"Hey, hey." Du Yande was soon pinched in the waist, and it turned out to be Cao Xiang on the side, "People have husbands, don't you forget to joke?" ”

couldn't be justified in front of his wife, so he had to complain bitterly and didn't dare to defend himself.

"So how does our canteen fund and reimbursement process go?"

Du Yande was blind to this matter and kicked the ball to the finance department. Jiang Yan nodded and continued to ask, "Then can we purchase clean vegetables?" ”

Seeing the other party's expression of no wonder at all, she had no choice but to explain again, "Clean dishes are dishes that have been processed once, and after opening them, they can be put into the pot after being cleaned slightly, which can reduce the preparation time." ”

At this time, Du Yande knew what she meant, indeed, it was a good choice to purchase clean vegetables, if she directly bought a bunch of chickens, ducks, fish, meat and vegetables, just choosing vegetables could make these women crazy.

"Yes, you're in charge of that."

Next, the logistics team carefully arranged the work while discussing, and the logistics team will devote all members to the assistance of the canteen. But for other traversers, each department has to send five people to the canteen every day to help cook, so that dozens of people can help in the canteen every day, which can reduce the amount of labor in the canteen to a large extent.

Jiang Yan suddenly interrupted, "In terms of kitchenware, I would like to remind you that I have paid attention to it when I usually cook, and our kitchenware is not very suitable for large canteens, so I suggest purchasing a new batch of kitchenware." ”

Cao Xiang asked, "We're all going to wear it, and we won't need a lot of kitchen furniture after it's over, such as rice cookers, so don't buy them, right?" ”

"That's it," Du Yande patted the board, "We won't purchase those kitchenware that uses electricity, we mainly purchase those ordinary kitchenware, and the cauldron or something can still be used when it arrives there." ”

"But the rice cooker still needs to be used here, and there is nothing here."

"Let's rent these first, and return them when we leave." Du Yande said, "This matter is so decided, wait for you to make a list of the kitchenware that needs to be purchased, and I will send it to the executive committee for approval, and strive to send someone out to purchase it in the afternoon." ”

This side has just been settled, and something has come to me again, and a few girls have found Du Yande and complained that there are men in the two buildings in front of them who peeked at them taking a bath.

This matter is very troublesome, because of the problem of lack of manpower, at this time, the crossing group is basically not refusing to come to those who are willing to participate in the crossing, and it is reasonable for such a low-quality person to emerge at this time. This matter has to be managed, but it can't be managed, at the moment it is all through the public, and after the past, everyone is the same elder, if it is too dead now, it will be easy to throw his face and leave, and it is necessary to wait until after the crossing to deliberately make trouble.

"It's not a hard thing to deal with." Cao Xiang came up with an idea, "The windows of the women's dormitory are facing the men's dormitory, as long as the men's and women's dormitories are reversed." ”

Du Yande couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If only it could be solved so easily, if you go to change dormitories with such fanfare, people still have to quietly hold grudges?" ”

"So you mean it's up to them?" Cao Xiang directly pinched Du Yande's waist and eyes, and the logistics team on the side were clapping.

Du Yande jumped in pain, and said busily while jumping, "Then where can it be?" We're going to find a way to solve it, you should do your own safety work first, and hang up the curtains when you take a shower. ”

"No, okay?" Immediately, a girl complained, "This dormitory was like this when we came, and we slept in older beds than me, and the curtains and other things were long gone." ”

"That's it, I made a report last time, but it hasn't been approved."

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately became a meeting of the female crossers to criticize Du Yande. Du Yande is also confused, when will there be a report? Why haven't I seen it all this time? Hurriedly ran to the office of the executive committee. In it, Yang Minghuan and Li Zhe are discussing how the IT department can develop new software in the new world to ensure that everyone can query all kinds of needed information in real time.

"The report?" Yang Minghuan's eyes were a little strange, "I haven't seen it, I don't know where it was submitted, I haven't been here for the past few days, and I went out with Li Zhe to purchase servers." ”

"Who's on duty these days?" Du Yande flipped through the duty records, and it turned out to be Zhang Yuan. "Then I'll ask him."

Du Yande looked around and didn't see Zhang Yuan, but he accidentally found the report in the trash.

How did this work...... Du Yande was speechless, the girls are very resistant to this matter at the moment, you must know that crossing this kind of thing is far more difficult for women than for men, especially whether it is living conditions, sanitary conditions or future marriage, it is a big trouble. These women participated in the crossing, and at this time, a report to buy curtains was suppressed, and if they knew about it, it would be a loss for the crossing group if it annoyed them and turned away.

At present, it is impossible to hold anyone responsible, he looked through the application form, and the curtain procurement funds proposed on it were not very high, so he simply approved it directly, and then handed the approved application form to the girl from the logistics department who issued the application.

The girls ran to buy curtains for joy. Leaving Du Yande and Yang Minghuan sitting in this office, the two of them now have sleepwalking expressions, these two people are people who have never done such a big project, and they are now being pushed forward by the entire crossing group to drive ducks on the shelves. At present, the meetings of various departments have been held several times, and in order to compete for the share and tonnage of procurement, the heads of various departments do not hesitate to foam at the mouth and even stage an all-out military exercise. So that the executive committee had to deploy some members of the sports team nearby before each meeting, and go in and pull people away if something happened.

Every time Yang Minghuan watched them compete for tonnage there, he looked blank, at the moment Yangfeng and Bu Zhongfu still have no news, the latest contact has been to a coastal city in Guangdong, I heard that it is in a large shipping company to see the ship, but this has been several days, and there is no follow-up, no one knows whether to buy it or not.

Just as he was about to discuss this matter with Du Yande, the offices were suddenly opened. It was Yang Feng and Bu Zhongfu who came in, followed by Zhang Yuan, who seemed to have met outside.

"That's it!" Yang Feng put the folder in his hand on the conference table. "It's all done! Permits, licenses, ...... It cost a little more, but it was all done. ”

The room was full of confused people. "What's done? Is it a boat or a license? ”

"Both! Both! Yang Feng kept talking happily. Bu Zhongfu and I ran several places, and this is the boat! Absolutely satisfying you! ”

The ship, which created a new world and a new nation, was later incorporated into the national emblem and appeared on every banknote and coin, but it was now a freighter that was more than 40 years old and was close to being scrapped.

This ship is a Dongfeng 10,000-ton cargo ship, which was designed and manufactured by China in 1958 and was listed as one of the key projects of China's national science and technology development ten-year plan. The "Dongfeng" is a single-propeller, double-deck, long bow, forward-leaning, stern cruiser-style, with a middle engine room, a middle deckhouse, and a steel diesel engine ocean freighter with a high freeboard. With a total length of 161.4 meters, a beam of 20.2 meters, a depth of 12.4 meters, a deadweight of 13,488 tons, a displacement of 17,182 tons, and a speed of 17.3 nautical miles per hour, the Dongfeng can sail continuously at sea for 40 days and nights, sailing to Europe, Africa and Latin America. The "Dongfeng" is an ocean-going dry cargo ship carrying general cargo, equipped with 878 cubic meters of refrigerated cargo and 1,145 cubic meters of liquid cargo tank, which can carry a small amount of refrigerated cargo and liquid cargo. At the same time, there is a stop plate equipment in the cargo hold, which can carry bulk grain if necessary. There is one 60-ton heavy-duty boom in the second and third cabins, which can lift heavy objects. Explosion-proof measures are provided in the first cargo hold, which can carry general flammable and explosive materials. The main engine is a heavy-duty marine low-speed diesel engine of 8820 horsepower, a steam turbine generator set for steam supply from a relatively new exhaust gas boiler, communication and navigation equipment and cabin air conditioning devices. In 2001, it was also modernized to improve the living conditions of the crew. Because it was originally designed as an ocean-going 10,000-ton ship, it has a large cargo capacity and a deep draft, so the cost is too high when it is transported offshore, and it has been idle for a long time.

"The boat has been idle for a bit of a year, and it looks a bit miserable on the outside." Bu Zhongfu introduced. "It's just a sealed state, the overall condition is good, I went up with Yang Feng to check it, the equipment is a little old, but it can be used."

"How much did it cost?" Du Yande suddenly became a little nervous, this is an ocean-going 10,000-ton ship, and it is cheap to buy tens of millions.

"It cost 18 million." Yang Feng replied.

Du Yande breathed a sigh of relief, and the budget for buying a ship was 35 million. It's good that there is no exceedance.

"It was supposed to be fifteen million, but it was repaired and maintained once."

"No problem." Zhang Yuan slapped the board on the side, "There is no place to repair the ship over there, and all kinds of equipment need to be used for a long time for at least several years." ”

"But......" Bu Zhongfu hesitated. Because the budget was rich, I bought a few more boats. ”

Yang Minghuan suddenly felt a little weak in his legs and stomach, and recalled the history of taking money from his salary to pay off the mortgage every month.

"A self-propelled barge, 1,500 tons, 4 million with maintenance."

"That's good." Zhang Yuan nodded in affirmation, completely ignoring the group of people around him.

"There's another boat...... Bu Zhongfu's expression was a little mysterious. A landing craft, which has just been decommissioned, is very well maintained, and the machine gun mounts have not been dismantled. You will be glad to say it."

"Just tell me how much it spent!" Yang Minghuan said a little weakly.

"Less than 160,000, this is the relationship between my old comrades-in-arms, it is a multi-purpose landing craft in the eighties of the last century, 89 tons, 50 tons, 28 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 2.7 meters high. The bow of the boat is an electric door, which can also be used as a gangplank for getting up and down. Open, with a draft of 1.2 meters. ”

"It's like no money compared to the previous money." Yang Minghuan couldn't help but sigh. "Didn't you say you were going to buy a fishing boat, then?"

"I also bought, 4 decommissioned 8154 trawlers, 200 tons, because they have just been decommissioned, the ship is in quite good condition. 1.3 million ships, but also to bring a lot of spare parts equipment and consumables. ”

Yang Minghuan calculated, and these did not add up to the budget. "Well, as long as you don't exceed your budget."

The original plan was to purchase a 10,000-ton cargo ship plus a few fishing boats, he had no idea how big the tonnage of 8154 was, but now he had purchased enough ships before the budget was spent, and he was quite satisfied with the purchase of this batch of ships, although he did not know the actual situation of the ship, but now he could only choose to trust these professionals. At this time, the person Zhang Zefeng brought to the training was training in an outside shipping company, and he reported that he was doing a good job, and if it was used temporarily, there was basically no problem.

According to the plan discussed by the Executive Committee and various departments, most of the goods that have been procured have now arrived at a warehouse in a seaport in Leizhou, and now the Dongfeng and all the purchased ships have also been transported there. As long as the order is given, the ship can be loaded immediately, and then it can be crossed directly at sea. As for where to cross, this point was a bit unexpected to the executive committee members, and the sports team and the people in the big library discussed it for a long time, but it was never decided. But what is certain is that the production line of weapons and bullets on the other side of the Lin Shen River has been loaded and rushed from Hawaii to this side.
