The canteen of the base is not small, it can accommodate 500 people at a time, and Meng Yan also considered the development of the base, so he agreed to build such a large canteen.

Of course, building a building with such a large space requires a certain amount of technology, and it cannot be exceeded, and with Kuaixiang, the top contemporary architectural design master, and Meng Yan's intention to use steel and cement in the building, this makes the impossible possible.

The cement has been tried to be manufactured and used in the field, and the indicators such as solidification time and hardness basically meet the requirements.

As for steel, the most critical step is that the problem of raw materials has not been solved, not the problem of iron ore, but the problem of coke.

The production of natural coke is too small, and it is necessary to coke artificially, and this work and technology Meng Yan has been handed over to Tie Meng, once the coking is successful, the steel production will be accelerated.

Of course, it is difficult to say whether it can produce qualified steel bars, but Meng Yan does not plan to build a tall building, and it is almost the same if there are three or four floors.

However, these things are still on the drawings, and must be carefully calculated and modeled to determine that they are feasible before construction, and now the location of the canteen is a circle of rammed earth walls, and then a huge house is built with wooden stakes, which is still covered with thatch, which can protect from the wind and rain.

In summary, this is a makeshift canteen.

The standard of food at the training base is very high, and that is because the intensity of the training is higher than that of any elite army in the Ming Dynasty.

Meng Yan wants the elite of the elite, which is determined by his own ability, because he is not good at commanding large armies to fight, because he does not have that experience, and he still needs to learn and practice against cold weapons. So take the route of less but finer, so that you will not be suspicious of the emperor and others.

The food at the base can be said to be the best among all the armies in the entire Ming Dynasty, with three meals a day, and you can also see meat.

Meng Yan accepted the advice of Tang Xiao and others, and he couldn't follow the standards of the special training team at the beginning, otherwise. The cost of food alone is high, and you have to give these people a hope, and you can give it all at once, what should you do next?

Eat meat once every three days, steamed buns, and rice are full.

This has made these recruits happy, at least here, they don't have to worry about their stomachs anymore.

But when you are full and drunk, the training is sloppy.

I have to say. Although the cultural quality of these soldiers is relatively low, they are relatively simple, know how to be grateful, and are quite serious and hard working when training.

This is why it has only been half a month for these recruits to have the atmosphere they have today.

"Lao Li, what are you having for breakfast today?"

"It's Chief Instructor Tang, isn't this Lord Meng here, breakfast is in addition to millet porridge, steamed buns and pickles. There are also cabbage meat steamed buns and sesame rice balls. ”

"Well, do adults like to eat mutton stewed noodles?"

"Lamb stewed noodles. We've never done this in the cafeteria, and I heard that only the adult's brother-in-law, Chief Zhang Bao, can do it? Li Laofu, the head of the canteen, said.

"Didn't I explain to you, the adult finally came once, his favorite is the mutton stewed noodles made by Chef Zhang Bao?"

"Chief Instructor Tang, we ......"

"Tang Xiao, when did I say that I must eat mutton stewed noodles?" Meng Yan scolded coldly.

"Your Excellency. A bowl of mutton stewed noodles is not special, so it will be ...... when it is marked" Tang Xiao lowered his head under Meng Yan's cold gaze, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his head.

"I said a long time ago, in our training base, a standard. The officers and soldiers are unanimous, none of them can be specialized, do you take the words of your own officers as the wind in your ears? ”

"Don't dare!"

"Forget it this time, from now on, you remember to me, what the soldiers eat, what you eat, what you eat, the officer eats." Meng Yan said heavily.

"Yes, sir!"

"Let's start the meal, Master Li, bring me a bowl of millet porridge, two steamed buns and a plate of pickles." Meng Yan commanded.

"My lord, there are steamed buns with cabbage and meat filling, do you want it?"

"No need, the breakfast is too greasy, and the official doesn't need special training, so it's better to eat light." Meng Yan shook his hand and said, "By the way, are there any eggs?" ”

"Yes, yes, hard-boiled eggs." Li Laofu hurriedly replied.

"Brother Xiaochao, it's inconvenient for Xiaoyu and Miss Suxin to come over for dinner, you can take a few hard-boiled eggs over in a while, and in addition, if you get things done, you will send them and Ge Tong back to the city." Meng Yan instructed Guo Xiaochao.

"My lord, what about you?"

"I'll stay at the base for two days, after you go back, go to Nanya to talk to Master Guo by the way, let Li Duo and Mr. Cai deal with the affairs in the yamen, if you don't press it in advance, wait for me to go back and deal with it!" Meng Yan instructed Guo Xiaochao.

"Got it." Guo Xiaochao nodded and took the order.

When eating, it is generally not allowed to talk at will, but Meng Yan did not bring the Guan Rong tradition of singing before meals to Daming, because it was unrealistic, and it is estimated that these people are not used to it.

After eating, the soldiers do not need to wash the dishes and chopsticks, but go directly back to tidy up the housekeeping, and there will be logistics personnel to come over to collect the dishes and chopsticks, and then clean them in a centralized manner.

But there is one rule, no waste is allowed, once it is found out who wasted food, not only must points be deducted, but also a review must be written.

Many of the recruits were illiterate, so writing a review would undoubtedly be more difficult for them than running a few laps more on the training ground, so none of them dared to waste food, and of course, none of them wanted to waste it.

In this era when there is generally not enough to eat, who doesn't cherish it if there is a place to eat a full meal?

Even among them, there are some children from good families, after arriving here, they have all changed their bad habits of waste.

In addition to the severe punishments, there is another point, that is, training requires a lot of body consumption, and if you don't eat, you can't sustain it at all.

After breakfast, Meng Yan and Tang Xiao sent Wen Xiaoyu and Bai Suxin and others away, they wanted to take Bai Xinyuan's coffin to be buried with Bai Suxin's mother, so naturally they couldn't stay.

Fifteen minutes of housekeeping is a lot of time, and of course, it's not just about folding quilts, but also about laundry, personal hygiene, and other activities.

"When the time comes, Tang Xiao, order the trumpeters to blow the assembly horn!" Meng Yan ordered.

"Yes, blow the assembly trumpets!"

The loud rally call suddenly sounded over the base!

"Quick, quick......" At the door of the dormitory of the teams of all parties, the general flag of the team urged vigorously, and the recruits ran out of it one by one.

"Keep up!"

"Report to the Chief Instructor, a queue is over!"

"The second team is complete, and the third team is ......"

"Okay, let's get in the ranks!" Tang smiled one by one and returned the salute and ordered.

"Now, I announce that the first stage of the training assessment of recruits has begun, the first item, internal affairs!" Tang Xiao announced loudly.

"Listen, all of them, stand upright!"

Syllable!

"Stand in military posture for half an hour!"

"Your Excellency, it's okay."

"Well, let's go." Meng Yan nodded, internal affairs can cultivate a soldier's good living habits, especially the cultivation of discipline is particularly important, the army is a combat department that pays attention to group cooperation.

It is not possible to have good discipline, and sorting out internal affairs can also cultivate the patience of soldiers, and on the battlefield, the fastest death is often the most urgent.

Sorting out housekeeping is a matter of patience, and if you want to fold a quilt as an example, if you want to achieve it quickly and well, you must be meticulous and careful at the beginning, and do every step well, so that the speed can go up.

Meng Yan didn't ask these people to follow the requirements of future generations, the quilt was folded into the shape of a tofu block, and it should at least be neat and beautiful for you.

"Not bad, not bad, Tang Xiao, it seems that you are more strict in this part of housekeeping!" Meng Yan walked into the dormitory of the first team, saw the neat bedding and neatly placed personal belongings inside, and nodded with great satisfaction.

"You didn't bring it out single-handedly, my lord." Don laughed.

Meng Yan smiled, Tang Xiao These people were tossed enough by him in internal affairs, and some people were also locked up by him because they were not qualified in internal affairs.

"Everyone has a quilt, isn't it cold at night?"

"Every night, there will be a charcoal fire in the house, it is not cold, you see, the charcoal in this charcoal basin has not been burned out!"

"It's good to wait until the new barracks are built, so you don't need to make charcoal fires, this thing is very dangerous." Meng Yan nodded, "Attention, when you sleep at night, open a gap in the doors and windows to allow air to circulate." ”

"My lord, we haven't forgotten your teaching!"

"That's good, then you can score!" Meng Yan nodded.

Score according to the bed number, and then check who belongs to the bed number, so that the score comes out.

Meng Yan adopts a subtraction system, with no items, a total of 100 points, and then subtract points or no points one by one, and finally eliminate those with a score of less than 60 points.

After all, only about 200 of the 450 people can be left, and if you want to eliminate more than 250 people, you can only endure the pain.

A dormitory can be inspected in three to five minutes, and in half an hour, the first housekeeping inspection is over.

"Take a break, talk about it!"

"I just checked the housekeeping, and the adults are still very satisfied with our housekeeping, but there is still a gap from the provisions of the housekeeping regulations, so there is no point deduction, and the least is deducted half a point, I won't say these one by one, the second item of the following assessment, twenty miles of weight, one hour is qualified, no points are deducted within forty minutes, and a grade in the next five minutes...... Unqualified direct deduction of ten points! ”

"Remember, the starting and ending points are here, but you don't want to cheat halfway, because you need to run to the middle, your equestrian chief instructor will be there to hand out bamboo cards, there are numbers on them, you must bring the bamboo cards back, register the results, do not get the bamboo cards, or lose the bamboo cards, deduct ten points, unqualified!"

This method is good, to avoid the maximum extent that someone uses the rules to cheat, only to run to the middle of the way to get the bamboo card, so that when you run back, you can have results.

"Listen to me, the first team is ready!"

"Let's go!"

2nd team, 3rd team......

Each team starts at a one-minute interval, and the corresponding time is subtracted from the time when calculating the score. (To be continued......)
