Chapter 30 Nutritional Supplements
The dozen or so villages around Yanggou Village are considered to be a new day for the sun and the moon.
Large-scale land reclamation is underway in various villages.
Because we are in the mountainous area, most of the fields suitable for reclaiming have been fully reclaimed, and the newly reclaimed fields are often a little bit open, so it is difficult to see any large pieces of fields. In the future, it will undoubtedly take more time and hard work.
But all the villagers' faces were filled with happiness and satisfaction. They had just divided their own fields, and there was also one of their own in the newly opened fields, so everyone was very enthusiastic.
From time to time, some villagers were digging the ground, and suddenly they looked up and shouted: "Long live Captain Zhang, support the Eighth Route Army..."
If someone who doesn't know what is going on, he will be scared to pee when he hears this sound.
But the villagers who heard it just laughed knowingly.
These days, people often do this, even themselves. That's not because they are nervous, but because they are really too happy and happy, so they can't help themselves.
Not only do the villagers not only yell slogans when they are nervous, but when the village branch organizes learning, everyone yells slogans even loudly. They are grateful to the Jindong Detachment from the bottom of their hearts, Zhang Ran, and the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, any orders conveyed by the village heads of each village were quickly promoted in each village, such as the militia team and the women's brigade.
In addition to their usual busy farm work, militia and women's brigades practice morning and evening, patrol in batches at night, etc., are also very well-known.
Although most militia and women's brigades do not even have hunting rifles and few rattles, most people can only carry sharpened wooden sticks, the spirit they show is no different from that of regular troops.
Listening to the good news coming from all over the world every day and watching the changes in this land and the villagers, Zhang Ran was also full of enthusiasm!
He knew that the enthusiasm of the masses to support the Eighth Route Army had been fully mobilized!
In the future, no matter what the situation occurs, the elders and villagers on this land will face it unconditionally with themselves, the detachment, and the Eighth Route Army, and themselves and their Jindong Detachment will firmly stand with their fellow villagers and share life and death!
Zhang Ran was very afraid of death and did not want to fight, so when he met the Japanese in Maling Village, his first reaction was to escape.
But now, Zhang Ran knew that if the Japanese really came, he would not run away again!
He and everyone here are already tied together!
When such thoughts arose in his heart, Zhang Ran began to smile bitterly, saying that he had established the Jindong base area with false imperial edicts and promoted the policy program of the Eighth Route Army. He originally wanted to deceive the villagers and give him a place to stand.
Now, although I have successfully deceived the villagers from all over the countryside, I have deceived myself and trapped me!
But he didn't regret it at all, and he was even happy!
The expansion and consolidation of the base area greatly increased Zhang Ran's confidence.
But he didn't have time to inspect the base he developed alone, but was trapped in Yanggou Village by piles of things.
The house at the headquarters of the detachment has been completed.
With earth walls and tile roofs and large yards, Yanggou Village, which are full of thatched cottages, it looks particularly grand.
Outside the yard is a large dam for drilling.
The low house next to the dam is naturally the place where the breeding pond is located.
At this moment, Zhang Ran looked at the yard of the headquarters happily, and heard the envious voices of the villagers, feeling a lot of emotion, thinking that he had finally completely got rid of his proletarian status and no longer had to sleep in the pigpen to keep straw, and had his own room!
There are many houses in the branch, and Zhang Ran occupied two houses alone.
One sleeps, one office.
In addition to the soldiers' dormitory and kitchen, another house also left an office for Wang Changtian and Lu Yan.
Now Wang Changtian and Lu Yan play a very important role in the base area. Not only should we issue various instructions to the village branches for Zhang Ran to publicize the policy concepts of the Eighth Route Army, but we should also feedback the situation of each village to Zhang Ran, so that Zhang Ran can make adjustments based on various situations at any time.
Now, Wang Changtian and Lu Yan are straight and have a strong cadre style and majestic everywhere they go.
On the contrary, Zhang Ran, the captain of the detachment, was wandering around the farm all day long. In addition to the people who knew him in the village and the Eighth Route Army soldiers, the people from other villages often looked for Wang Changtian and Lu Yan. Instead, the impression of Zhang Ran was not very deep, but they had long been revered.
"Hello captain!"
As soon as Zhang Ran went out, two soldiers standing guard outside the headquarters stood attentively and saluted. More than a dozen soldiers who were training led by Wang Laoguai and Zhang Kai also greeted Zhang Ran together.
Although the base area was consolidated and the militia women's brigades in each village were also developing rapidly, the Eighth Route Army soldiers still maintained a scale of twenty-three people and did not expand immediately.
It’s not that Zhang Ran doesn’t want to, but that he really can’t afford it at the moment.
The money and grain sent by Ma Chengbang and other landlords were distributed to the village branches, and after the villagers were forced to give the tooth sacrifice several times, there was not much left in these supplies.
The economic situation of the detachment began to be tight again, and the living standards of the soldiers returned to a state of being thin and one dry a day, and they were just pickled with pickles.
Every time I see the account book, looking at the decreasing grain and ocean on the account book, Zhang Ran couldn't help but pull his hair, wishing he could spend a penny in half!
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Zhang Ran raised his hand slightly to give the greeting soldiers, and felt the excitement that I, Zhang Ran, was also a person, and somewhat diluted the worries of worrying about money and food.
Several large pits have been dug in the farm, and the tables are built with earthen bricks, which look like flower beds.
However, it is obvious that Zhang Ran, who is worried about money every day, does not have the leisure to plant flowers and appreciate flowers - that is the earthworm breeding pond.
The construction of the earthworm breeding pond is very simple.
In the farming pond half below the ground, the soil on the four walls is slightly tightened and the edges are built with bricks. There is sufficient humus layer in the pond. Then, the earthworms dug back by Shi Mingyu and others are put in, and cover them with 10% straw.
Usually, you can throw some cow dung, rotten, leftover fruits, etc., water it every now and then to keep the soil moist, and it is not difficult at all.
Wang Wenhua was in the incubation room and following Zhang Ran's instructions, he shined the eggs at the oil lamp for the first time.
The normal eggs incubated can be seen through the light perspective, and the radial blood vessels in the eggshell are brightly colored, so they continue to prepare for hatching.
Other eggs are obviously unable to hatch, so they need to be picked out.
"What a pity, so many bad guys..."
Wang Wenhua looked at the more than 100 eggs he picked out and looked a little guilty, feeling that he hadn't done it well, so he had so many bad guys.
"It's unavoidable that it's not your business!"
Zhang Ran comforted her and laughed, "And, these bad guys will not be wasted!"
These bad guys are commonly known as hairy eggs.
The eggs that cannot be hatched in ordinary people's homes are often used to feed pigs because the smell is too strong and they feel that they cannot be eaten.
But Zhang Ran knew that except for the eggs that had rotted for too long, this type of egg that failed to hatch is actually edible. Although it has lost a lot of nutrition during the hatching process, if given to the soldiers who lack nutrition, the nutrition will definitely be much better than the ones that are covered with wild vegetables and grains!
A group of soldiers looked at Zhang Ran with a bitter look with a cooked egg, pinched their noses, and seriously doubted whether this thing could be eaten.
Although he knew that these hairy eggs could be eaten, Zhang Ran never ate such strange things.
So, Zhang Ran looked at the eggs in his hand and smelled the smell, and his stomach couldn't stop pancreatic acid.
But under the attention of all the soldiers, Zhang Ran had to raise his neck and eat it. He resisted the urge to vomit and praised it for a few words.
But it was useless. The soldiers looked at the hairy eggs in their hands now, just like there was arsenic on them!
"Che——Lao Guai, Wang Kai, Shi Yuan, you three take the lead!" Zhang Ran ordered.
"I'll forget it. I can't bear such a nutritious thing. I want to leave it for the puppy to eat and replenish his body... Look how thin he is, pitiful!"
Mr. Wang pointed to the puppy watching the fun while watching the fun, and looked like a good thing to give to the child's kindness.
The puppy ran away with a whistle.
Lu Yan jumped aside and said, "You old crook, don't cheat my brother. You should keep this good thing yourself!"
"Lu Yan, I only gave it to the puppy for the sake of Captain Zhang - why did you bite Lu Dongbin and don't know the good people's hearts?" Wang Laoguai said sadly.
"Bah, are you so kind? I think you are a weasel to wish the chicken a New Year, so you don't have a good intention!" Lu Yan cursed.
The villagers laughed, while the women helped Lu Yan yell, asking Wang Laoguai to eat quickly.
"I'll eat!"
Shi Yuan, who had just been appointed as the squad leader for a few days, immediately began to show off his performance, and swallowed the hairy eggs with his tragic look in his face holding an explosive pack to blow up the bunker.
“…”
Wang Laoguai Wang Kai looked at Shi Yuan in disappointment, then looked at Zhang Ran, who was silly intently, and had to start eating the eggs in a few bites, and then shouted at the soldiers: "See, our Captain Zhang and we all took the lead in eating them, you can eat them too, this is an order - don't vomit. If anyone dares to vomit, I will eat them back!"
The soldiers wailed, and after eating, they quickly drank water and rushed the eggs into their stomachs, fearing that they would vomit!
Wang Laoguai and his men had established authority, so the soldiers knew that if they really vomited, they might really force themselves to eat what they vomited back - the taste was much more disgusting than eating eggs just thinking about it.
"Eat slowly, don't choke!"
Zhang Ran said with a smile: "There are more than a hundred eggs. Eat one every day. If you can eat it for five or six days, your body will be stronger!"
Hearing this, everyone was almost crying, thinking to himself, Captain, can we not replenish our bodies?
The villagers looked at the soldiers' expressions of crying without tears, and they were all happy, leaning forward and hanging backward, and extremely happy.
"My name is Mao Zun, from Kuiling Village. The village chief asked me to come to Captain Zhang..."
The thin man with lowered his eyebrows and pleasing eyes came over and found Wang Changtiandao, whose back alveolar had come out of Zhengle.
"How many days have you been waiting for you, why did you come?"
