So Hong'er saw them use the "honeycomb coal mold" to poke the stirred slime on the pile, step on the middle of the mold so that the slime can go deep into it, and then lift it out from the slime, and then push out the honeycomb coal with the pedal on the side, which is a bit like the pump of our current bicycle.

But perhaps because of their lack of proficiency and physical strength, the honeycomb coal printed in front of them was either half a cut off, or it quickly fell apart after it came out, and was thrown back into the slime pile to be re-stirred, so their movements were repeated so mechanically.

Because the cart of pulverized coal pulled back in front weighed one or two hundred catties, plus the same weight of yellow mud, and a small amount of water, these slimes weighed at least four or five hundred catties, which could be printed into more than 1,000 grains of honeycomb coal, but it was also because of the first time, when they were about to eat, less than 200 grains were completed.

Seeing that they were sweating and panting, although they wore gloves on their hands, they didn't pay attention when they wiped their sweat, so their faces were all black, and it seemed that they could only see a pair of eyes, plus when they heard Huang Shi's praise, they opened their mouths and smiled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

Huang Shi was really embarrassed, because he was just doing the conductor, and Hong'er was doing the translation, and the two of them stood next to him almost without a trace of dust, plus Lao Ning and Lao Chen faced Lao Huang's praise, and repeatedly humbly said that this was what they should do.

Of course, their sincere attitude was what Huang Shi himself saw, but those words were translated through Hong'er, and Lao Huang couldn't help but be very moved, because he remembered those people who are also unknown in modern society, but have always quietly dedicated their lives to special positions.

In modern society, he can't change much without power or power, but in this new world, he can completely change all this, maybe it won't last too long like in the past, but as long as the seed is planted, there will always be a day when it will sprout.

So three months later, with a stroke of his pen, there was an additional allowance for each category of wages assessed as dirty, tired, busy, hard, etc., a special post allowance.

……

"Look, this is our vegetable garden." Huang Shi introduced to Hu Guang on the side as he walked.

At the foot of the mountain just now, Hu Guang saw that patches of "terraced fields" had been reclaimed on the slope on the right side of the mountain road, but now when he looked closely, it turned out to be pieces of vegetable fields.

The fence of those vegetable fields is some newly planted small saplings, and the grass and wild flowers are their fences, and in the middle of them are the vegetable beds, a total of more than a dozen, the area is different, all of them are fertile soil, relatively sunny, the most suitable place for growing vegetables.

Hu Guang casually looked at the nearest vegetable bed, and saw that the vegetables on it were all green, and couldn't help boasting, "These vegetables are all good!" ”

"Aren't you a city soldier! How do you know this? Huang Shi was very surprised, remembering that Hu Guang's home was not in Shenyang City.

"We are soldiers, not only grow vegetables, but also raise pigs, and in the first few years of my military service, when I was not selected for special forces, I also grew vegetables and raised pigs."

Speaking of this, Hu Guang's thoughts seemed to go back to the past all of a sudden, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The vegetable field run by the cooking class in our company is surrounded by fruit trees on three sides, a small hill on one side, and the terrain is rectangular, and the area is much smaller than here, about four or five points of land." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be an all-round expert, by the way, if you have time, you go to our vegetable garden and breeding factory to give them guidance." Hearing Hu Guang's experience, Huang Shi was overjoyed, because Hu Guang had introduced earlier that he was just an ordinary soldier before he was selected as a special soldier, but he didn't expect that he was still a professional logistics personnel.

"Uh, Brother Huang, you may have thought wrong!" Hu Guang touched the freshly shaved little flat head, and the 5 yuan shaved out was a little prickly.

"What's wrong?"

Faced with Huang Shi's puzzlement, Hu Guang had no choice but to explain, "Brother Huang, you may not know much about our troops. ”

"Our domestic troops used to eat separately, but now there is usually a logistics support company on the battalion level, including a cooking squad, but the number is not fixed. And like ours, there is an independent cooking class. ”

"So are you guys a reinforcement? So special! Huang Shi took the opportunity to interject and asked.

Hu Guang shook his head, and then replied with his fingers as he spoke, "No, our company is just an ordinary company, only composed of three platoons, plus company commanders, instructors, deputy company commanders, deputy instructors, platoon commanders of each platoon, division chiefs and other cadres, the number is about 120 people." ”

"Oh, that's full of it." When Huangshi reorganized his own troops, he had learned about this aspect, so he was not particularly unfamiliar with it, and the current troops were relatively small.

"Well, in the cooking squad of our company, there are three professional non-commissioned officers in charge of cooking, and the rest of the people are drawn from each squad to help cook. Well, I used to help cook in the cooking class for two months. Hehe, that's good food, good sleep, no need to go out to exercise in the morning, and you can still sit in the car when you practice, how good. ”

Huang Shi looked at Hu Guang with an intoxicated and yearning expression, and he didn't know whether Lu Dao was true or fake, "Then you still go to be a special soldier!" Special forces can't be cooks!"

Hu Guang glanced at Lao Huang when he heard this, and said in his heart that Brother Huang didn't know the word "humor", "You can refuse at that time!" Alas, you must know that although there will be very dirty and tiring work to do as a cook, compared to the 'hell' training that follows, it is simply 'heaven'. ”

"Oh......" Yellowstone replied with a long sigh.

Hu Guang turned a blind eye to Lao Huang's unbearable expression, turned his head and asked, "By the way, Brother Huang, is there an independent cooking class in our barracks?" ”

"No, it's with our civil department." Huang Shi sighed, now that he has so few subordinates, how can he be divided into a cooking class.

"Oh, yes, Brother Huang, how can we only have enough of these 80 people now!" Hu Guang patted his head and remembered that although there were more than 160 people on this island, under the condition that Lao Huang consciously "sang the politics of the first army" and took half of them as military strength, they were all very weak compared to several other large and small pirates on the sea, not to mention the huge Ming Dynasty on the other side.

Huang Shi thought that Hu Guang was a little disappointed, so he hurriedly cheered him up, and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, don't worry, we have people, but they are all on the shore, as long as you can train this group of people for me first, we can send someone to pick him up." ”

"Brother Huang, why didn't you pick it up before?" Hu Guang asked another question.

Now it was Huangshi's turn to scratch his head, and he replied a little depressedly, "It's not that I don't want to pick it up, but it's difficult!" ”

"What's the difficulty?" Hu Guang was a little puzzled, he was also a fan of novels, how many heroic crossings the protagonist took a few people to cross the line of fire, and a few steel knives could rush into the enemy camp. How can I say that Brother Huang also has 80 heroes under his hands, with knives, guns, and boats, they can come from morning to sun.

It is 72 nautical miles away from Taiwan's Taichung Port in the east, 132 nautical miles away from Fuzhou Mawei Port in the north, 510 nautical miles from Shanghai Port, 96 nautical miles from Xiamen Port in the south, and 397 nautical miles from Hong Kong.

"It's a big difficulty!" Huang Shi first said bitterly, and then continued, "Although our 'Hope' has undergone our own transformation, it has only reached 15 knots at the fastest in the case of empty storage, which is still in the case of smooth wind, if you add the load and headwind, it will definitely not exceed 6 knots." ”

The "Hope" is actually a miracle for the ancient fortune ship. In the Ming Dynasty, the speed of the Fu ship was only 2 to 4 knots, and the fast one was close to 10 knots, but even in the case of good wind direction and ocean currents, the resistance of the Fu ship would not be greater than 10 knots.

This has been demonstrated in recent years, Zhejiang has built a new "bird boat" in the fortune ship, called "Green Eyebrows", which is 31 meters long and 6 wide. 8 meters, draft 2. 2 meters, displacement 230 tons; It is made of an old wooden rudder with a length of 11 meters and a width of 2. 3 meters; There are three masts and five sails, of which the mainmast is 24 high. 5 meters, mainsail on three sides, using wind power to reach speeds of up to 9 knots.

The "Hope" has not only been modified in the bow, hull, sails, mast, rudder and other major components, but also some of the internal facilities are also replaced by light and strong materials, so it can be said that the appearance is a bit like a "bird ship", but it is not all a "bird boat".

"Understood, Brother Huang." Hu Guang patted his head again, although his people and hearts were already in the 16th century, the mindset of this brain has not yet turned from the 21st century.

The voyage data of the "Hope", combined with the three pirate ships encountered on the return voyage mentioned by Huangshi on the first voyage, those crew members finally defeated and burned one of the pirate ships through courage, hard work and perseverance.

Therefore, Hu Guang immediately understood Huang Shi's concerns, because judging from the contact with Brother Huang, he is a conservative and defensive person, if things are not at a critical juncture, it is impossible to be enthusiastic.

For he probably felt that if he carried those immigrants back to the island, if he encountered pirates again without wind, currents, or speed, he would put them in danger, and would rather endure them again and again until he had to endure them no longer.
