Chapter Seventy-Four: Shopping

The cement plant's production was on track, and Cheng Lei sent someone to call Qi Mi back to the camp. During this period of time, Qi Mi really had the strength to forget to sleep and eat, and the whole person lost weight. Cheng Lei saw the pain in his eyes, so he ordered Qi Mi to rest in the camp for two more days, and Cheng Lei arranged logistics to open a small stove for him alone, and cook more nutritious meals to increase his nutrition.

Qi Mi took a shower and changed into clean clothes, then came to the command headquarters, and said to Cheng Lei with a smile: "Captain, I'm afraid calling me back in such a hurry won't just let me enjoy it for a few days!" Say, what's the new task? ”

Cheng Lei motioned for him to sit down, and asked the maid to pour Qi Mi a cup of tea: "Director Qi, I'm afraid you, the factory director, won't be able to do it anymore." I have already sent a letter to Shao Qian, presumably during this time he has already figured out the cement production process, and he will be responsible for the production of the cement plant in the future. ”

Qi Mi nodded and said, "I know, I was also there when you sent someone to inform him." Captain, you don't have to be so mysterious, in fact, I can guess what you called me back this time. ”

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "I won't sell it to you, you guessed right, the construction of the wall of the base has come to an end." The construction of dormitory buildings and training grounds, as well as various supporting houses, is on the agenda. So the purpose of calling you back is to let you go to the base to direct the construction. ”

Qi Mi stroked his chin and said, "Captain, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that the cement plant is at a critical moment, and if there is a problem with the equipment or something, I have to solve it." Isn't there the best architect on the base named Siddock, who can completely direct the construction? ”

Cheng Lei shook his head and said: "What I need is a modern building in our world, and he has never even seen how to direct the construction." So you have to go, and when the wall is finished, just let him be your deputy. If there is anything on the cement plant, I will send someone to call you, and you will go directly to the base to take over the work of directing the construction after two days of rest! ”

Qi Mi stood up and gave a military salute: "Yes, everything obeys the command!" ”

Cheng Lei waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't play with me these vain things, I don't know your little bit of caution, you don't want to go to the base at all." But when you go, it will be different, and the instructor will come back and tell me that the base has now become a small town of no small size! ”

After Qi Mi went back, Cheng Lei came to the training ground and looked at the soldiers who were training in full swing on the training ground. The members of these Cheetah Squad have adapted to the role of boot camp instructors, and there is no ambiguity about the training of recruits.

Dozens of people left two days after the training began, and dozens more left one after another. Now there are about five hundred and twenty or thirty people who have stabilized, which has greatly exceeded Cheng Lei's original expectations, and he is quite satisfied.

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime!" Li Changcheng was teaching a group of recruits: "The current training is to enable you to adapt to the battlefield environment as soon as you go to the battlefield and quickly enter the battle. Get the first hand so you can quickly hit the enemy and reduce your casualties! ”

"If you don't have the hard training in the early stage, when the war starts, you will be a personal target, and you won't know how to die when the time comes! Don't blame me for speaking badly, that's the truth, so don't complain in your hearts, learn all kinds of killing and life-saving skills, and you can use them for life! After the lecture, he motioned to the captain of the team to start training, and then ran to Cheng Lei's side.

Li Changcheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with a piece of military uniform cloth and said, "Captain, how is it?" I gave them a pretty strong lecture just now, right? ”

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "It's okay, I look like the commander of the recruit training camp!" I used to see that these new recruits didn't stand or sit like they didn't sit or sit down, but now they have put on a unified training uniform and have been trained by you for so many days, and they already look like soldiers. ”

"Great Wall, you are like this, you can only do enough physical training for them in this month and a half. After a month and a half, half of them were left here and half of them were sent to the base. Let Pan Jin also train a part, and then it will be time for them to familiarize themselves with firearms and various equipment and facilities. ”

Li Changcheng was a little strange: "Captain, they can still be trained in shooting and other subjects here, why should they be sent to the base?" ”

"By that time, the walls of the base must have been closed, and now the progress of each day is getting faster and faster, and it may not take that long. When the time comes, I will bring back some of the migrant workers who want to join the base and let you train, you won't be tired, right? Cheng Lei began to make the radical method.

Li Changcheng patted his chest and said: "Captain, don't worry, just watch my actions when the time comes!" No matter how many people come, I'm sure I'll be able to complete the training successfully! ”

Cheng Lei then asked him to go to work, and then came to Zheng Bin's room by himself, Zheng Bin was not in the room, he must have gone to Fang Lihua to offer his courtesy. Cheng Lei sat in Zheng Bin's empty room in a daze, no wonder Zheng Bin was so interested in Fang Lihua, he really couldn't complain about him.

Look at this empty room, and then think about yourself and Qinglan's room, it is simply a world of difference. A certain piece of Cheng Lei's heart was suddenly touched, he wanted to support Zheng Bin to marry Fang Lihua, if nothing else, just so that Zheng Bin could have a wife and return him a home.

Zheng Bin came back at this time, and was a little surprised when he saw Cheng Lei: "Old Cheng, why did you come to my house, it's really rare, it's rare for you to come to my house." ”

Cheng Lei lit a cigarette and said, "Let's go, let's go around the city!" I've been in Silver Tower City for so long, in addition to being busy, I really haven't had a good look around the city, let's take a vacation today, how about going out to breathe? ”

Zheng Bin was a little puzzled: "Lao Cheng, you don't have any conspiracy, why did you suddenly remember to take me to the city today?" If you have anything, just say it, otherwise I don't know the bottom of my heart, so I won't go with you! ”

Cheng Lei was a little helpless: "How can I have a conspiracy, I really don't, you can rest assured!" ”

Both of them changed into casual clothes, which is similar to the color between a suit and a tunic, and it is also the mainstream clothing in this world now. After the two of them changed their clothes, they looked at each other and smiled, they hadn't seen each other look like they were not wearing military uniforms for a long time, and they were really a little uncomfortable wearing civilian clothes.

Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin only brought a pistol with them, in their opinion, it was enough for self-defense, and there was no need to bring people and many weapons. Cheng Lei also prepared a hat for himself and Zheng Bin, so that walking on the streets of the city looks like employees of two commercial houses or children of wealthy gentry.

There are a total of six streets in the central area of Yinta City, all of which are paved with large stone strips, and it is very comfortable to walk on them. On both sides of the street are a variety of shops, restaurants, teahouses, and occasionally some more concentrated roadside stalls. On the main street of the Silver Tower, which is the closest to the Silver Tower, there is also a relatively large market, where many people are doing various transactions and buying and selling goods every day.

According to Du Mo, the market on Yinta Street, as well as a market in the south and north of the city. These three markets account for almost half of the transaction volume of Silver Tower City, and here they specifically refer to all kinds of daily necessities and things such as rice, flour, vegetables, fruits, and pulp that are needed by ordinary people.

Cheng Lei took Zheng Bin to shuttle through the streets and alleys very leisurely, swaying while smoking a cigarette, looking very comfortable. Zheng Bin was a little impatient at this time: "Lao Cheng, what are you leading me to wander around the city, and you don't buy anything, why did you suddenly become like a girl who likes to go shopping?" I remember you're never good at this! ”

Cheng Lei smiled: "Do you understand this called enjoying life?" Heck, you're a rough man, and you don't understand how much you tell you. ”

Zheng Bin said disdainfully: "You are a rough person!" You go to our team to inquire, who would say that I am more coarse than you? Cut! ”

"It's here!" Cheng Lei pulled Zheng Bin into a store, and the plaque at the door of this store only reads "Wealth and Prosperity", and then there is a small flag hanging at the door, with the word "ornament" written on it, and there is nothing else.

After entering the store, Zheng Bin found that although the decoration of the store was not very luxurious, it had a particularly antique taste. A man in a robe came out of the room, saluted the two of them, and said slowly, "I didn't know that the distinguished guest was coming, and I missed the welcome." Sit down and have tea! ”

The man was about forty years old, but he was well maintained and looked young. Dressed in a silk robe, knowledgeable people can see at a glance that the workmanship is fine and the price is expensive. If it is those young masters, they can see that this robe is a water-milled robe that only makes forty pieces of water robe every year in Xicheng Liao Ji Silk Village.

"The contemptible person's surname is Li, and his single name is a Gui character, and he is the shopkeeper here. I don't know what you're going to do here, but I can have someone take a sample and look at it, and if we're satisfied, we can talk about it further. The middle-aged man still said slowly.

Zheng Bin didn't understand it now, could it be that Cheng Lei pulled himself out to go shopping to make jewelry for Qinglan? Then Cheng Lei can come alone, or come with Qinglan and call him, a bachelor, what does it mean?

Cheng Lei asked a little mysteriously: "Shopkeeper Li, do you have any sets of precious jewelry?" Preferably with gemstones, or diamonds. And that kind of child's gold collar, gold lock, bracelet or something. ”

Li Gui looked a little uncertain when he heard this: "What this gentleman said is a bit general, do you want to create jewelry or buy jewelry?" ”

"Of course I bought it, and I will pick out the most expensive jewelry you have here, the ones with gems and diamonds. And all the sets for the children were brought to me, and I wanted them. Cheng Lei repeated the words again very generously.

Li Gui looked Cheng Lei up and down, then said hello to the inside, and then a little guy came out. Li Gui whispered a few words into the young man's ear, and after the young man left, Li Gui beckoned Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin to drink tea, and told them that the young man had gone to get a sample.
