Chapter 8 The First Experience of Tofu Blocks

There is a saying that one of the ways to cultivate a good fighting style is to go out to see the queue and enter the door to look at internal affairs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn fact, folding quilts, engaging in housekeeping, and walking in queues are all completing the "basic formatting" of a soldier, which is called "cultivation education" in military terms. Cultivation is more for the troops to be called upon to come, to be able to fight, and to win the battle.

In fact, at the beginning, the quilt of the Red Army did not have such a perverted folding method, it was simple to be three wide and four long, which was easy to fold and bundle, which was commonly known as a backpack, and it was more convenient to fight and march. There are too many theories about the origin of tofu block quilts, some say that it began in the fifties, some say that after the Liberation War, and some can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. However, judging from the phenomenon that Taiwanese soldiers also stacked tofu blocks, it is unreliable to say that tofu blocks appeared after the Liberation War. An article about the Whampoa Military Academy girls' team mentioned that "as soon as the military horn sounded in the morning, I immediately got up, dressed, and freshened up, and the quilt was folded squarely like a tofu block and placed in the center of the wooden bed." 10 minutes to clean everything up, and then practice.

After decades of unrepaired work, a perfect system has now been formed in the troops. From the layout of a house to the folding and placement of towels, there is a set of strip-shaped regulations as the standard, that is, the earliest regulations that need to be studied when entering the army -- the "Internal Affairs Regulations."

The method of folding towels is actually similar to that of a quilt, the quilt is a narrow three-long four-fold folding method, and the towel is narrow-four and long-four. It is a good way for the deputy squad leader to arrange for everyone to fold towels first and lay the foundation for folding quilts in the afternoon.

Since the first shift was the first to store luggage, it was quite idle when the deputy squad leader led it down to the washstand. The location of the washstand is not very spacious, and there are more than 100 people in the new barracks, and it is destined that the people who come later can only find an open space to fold towels. Don't say anything unhygienic, and when you start folding the quilt, you'll know what 'grandeur' is.

"A class of recruits are coming, I'll show you how to fold towels, and the method of folding quilts in the afternoon is almost the same, so you have to look carefully. If you don't fold it up and get it bitten, don't blame me for not teaching you well. The deputy squad leader took a recruit's towel and said to everyone solemnly: "Okay, I'll start folding it now." ”

The deputy squad leader's method of folding towels is very sophisticated, and he looks like a veteran. In the Huaxia Army, the squad leader is generally in charge of military affairs, and the deputy squad leader is in charge of internal affairs and ideological work. So in terms of internal affairs, the deputy squad leader still has a hand.

I saw that the deputy squad leader quickly folded the narrow side and the long side of the towel twice with the middle as the fixed point, leaving an imprint to avoid the asymmetry of the folding. Then fold the narrow side, with the midline as the top, fold it once and fold it in half again. The towel becomes a 10-centimeter-long strip.

"When you get to this position, you have to pay attention to the following." The deputy squad leader pointed to the middle of the towel and said patiently: "This position is when the two sides are folded in the middle, remember to leave a position in the middle." The length can be left as high as the towel you want to fold. ”

After reminding him of the precautions, the deputy squad leader finally took out an artifact housekeeping board. Press one end of the towel with one hand to fix the towel, and with the other hand hold the handle of the housekeeping board, press the towel, and slowly rub it up and down. When the moisture inside the towel is squeezed out, the towel becomes very neat.

After leaving a distance in the middle, the deputy squad leader folded both sides of the towel to the middle, picked up one end and directly covered the other side accurately. Suddenly, a preliminary tofu cube appeared in front of everyone, although it was still a little crooked. But a few minutes ago, it was still a fluffy cloth, and it was surprising and admirable that it could change so much in a short period of time.

For everyone's admiration, the deputy squad leader seemed a little proud, although his position is the squad leader, but the experience of the army life, let him appear calmer than the young people in the society. After all, he is also a young man under 20 years old.

"Look, it's time to use two housekeeping boards, and you two must work together, like this." The deputy squad leader takes a housekeeping board and places it vertically on one side of the towel block, and the other piece is pressed directly above the towel. Rub back and forth and drag the vertical housekeeping board. After all four sides were compacted, he continued: "When you have a housekeeping board, you just press the top and bottom of the towel block out of shape, so at this time you need to use two pieces to operate, and press the folded four sides into a plane with the housekeeping board. The deputy squad leader easily picked up the towel tofu block that had become a whole and demonstrated it to everyone. He reminded again: "Remember not to press too the housekeeping board, just stabilize the towel and not move, too much force will crush the towel." ”

Xie Heilong looked at the towel in the hand of the deputy squad leader, and his heart was full of admiration and convincing. It took less than five minutes to get a fluffy towel. It instantly becomes like a work of art, which is not only pleasing to the eye, but also a kind of admiration in the heart.

"Deputy squad leader, you are so powerful, how long did it take you to learn this before?" With curiosity, a little fat man in the class who looked quite clever asked the deputy squad leader.

Maybe it's because they've been together for so long, and the deputy squad leader jokingly said to him: "You squad leader, I only took less than half an hour to fold better than the squad leader." Haha"

"Wow, it's so powerful, the deputy squad leader is really my idol, I want to learn like you."

Looking at this little fat man who was flying up, Xie Heilong really wanted to kick over, and he got goosebumps when he heard it.

"Little fat man, what's your name? I'm very sensible, so if you don't understand anything in the future, come and ask me. The deputy squad leader seemed to be blown by the fat man's sea, and he was a little floating. With a happy face, he patted the little fat man's head a few times, and said in a tone that you know me.

"Report to the deputy squad leader, my name is Tang Longbing." The little fat man was praised by the deputy squad leader, seemed very happy, and replied excitedly.

"It's a good name, you fold it seriously, don't embarrass my face." After speaking, the deputy squad leader said to Xie Heilong: "You all pay attention, give me the first place in the housekeeping evaluation this time, and I will take you shopping when I go to the street." I'll go back to the dorm first, and you'll fold it up and ask me to check it. ”

After the deputy squad leader left, Xie Heilong walked up to the little fat man, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him with a smile: "Tang Longbing, yes, this sycophant kung fu is amazing." Reaching out and giving a thumbs up. Then he said: "Get to know me, my name is Xie Heilong." ”

"Brother Long, hello, it's my honor to know you. The deputy squad leader stacked it too fast just now, and now I've learned nine out of ten tricks, and I don't understand any of them'. Teach me quickly. At first glance, you are a smart person, and you must already know it. "For this little fat man who was born with a sycophant system, Xie Heilong is simply a big convincing.

But the little fat man is not wrong, Xie Heilong's brain melon seeds have been flexible since he was a child, he never does his homework when he reads, and he basically doesn't read much. But the grades are all in the top few in the class. It is a wonder in everyone's eyes. The premise is that there is no idea of being curious about Internet cafes in the third year of junior high school.

"This is not difficult, now I'll try to fold it once, and I'll teach you when it comes out." Xie Heilong took the towel and put it on the sink, and said to Tang Longbing.

"Thank you, Brother Long, I'll just watch you fold it, let me study hard. Brother Long, you must have an easy one. Tang Longbing looked at Xie Heilong with a look that I think you must be able to, and said in a casual manner.

Thinking back to every action of the deputy squad leader, it took Xie Heilong less than ten minutes to fold out a towel tofu block. Although the housekeeping board is not very proficient when folding, the tofu cubes are still a bit non-standard, and the lines are not very clear. The shape is also not very regular. But it's already taking shape, and you just need to fold it twice to trim it and you're perfect.

"Brother Long, you're not an alien, are you? It's awesome, it's awesome! The fat man looked around at the towels of his recruits, who were still trying not to let the towels collapse, and looked at Xie Heilong with an unbelievable look and said.

"Little fat man, I think that people who have been with you for a long time will definitely emit a kind of confidence from their hearts. Lao Tzu is a god, and I came to this world to rule the earth and dominate the universe. "The first time I met such a sycophant god, every sentence made the listener feel happy, and it is estimated that after listening to it for a long time, it will have delusions. Xie Heilong felt that in the short time they got along, he was a little poisoned.

"What's the matter, Brother Long is already very powerful, and his learning ability is against the sky."

After listening to Tang Longbing's reply, Xie Heilong wanted not to poison his sycophants. Filter his words directly. The towel was unpacked and wet, and the second exercise began. After two exercises and trimmings, a towel tofu block that was similar to the deputy squad leader, perhaps a little better, was presented from Xie Heilong's hand. See the results of half an hour of hard work. The heart is still very satisfied.

The little fat man is actually quite smart, but he likes to use his cleverness in the aspect of patting on the back. Under Xie Heilong's guidance, he also quickly folded the towels that met the standards.

An hour later, at this time, the first class was a little unsatisfactory except for a few stacks, and everyone took out a fairly standard tofu cube. After calling the deputy squad leader to check. Basically, they all passed, but the deputy squad leader was a little surprised that Xie Heilong could stack better than himself.

The deputy squad leader led everyone back to the bathroom. After setting up the word-of-mouth towel. He said to everyone: "The task in the morning has been successfully completed, and after lunch, there will be a lunch break." So that you can sleep on a clean quilt in the future. After eating, we will gather in the class, and I will take you to the practice of stacking military quilts. The rest of the morning is free to move around and rest. ”

"Is there any connection between sleeping under a clean quilt and taking a lunch break?" After listening to the deputy squad leader's words, Xie Heilong and the others in the class looked confused.

"What's going to happen in between?" For the stacked army quilt at noon, Xie Heilong suddenly had a little expectation.
