【468】Three men and one drama

"That's great, Uncle An, we are also looking forward to your story of being a soldier..."

Next, the three of them started talking, or to be precise, An Nuo gave the lecture, Lin Mo interpreted in a low voice, Tesla listened, and the two interrupted from time to time to ask questions.

The time of chatting always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, nearly two hours passed. Lin Mo and Tesla finally listened to An Nuo's words, and their understanding of the living area improved a lot. At the same time, they also understood An Nuo. People are impressed.

An Nuo came from Huaxia Town, one of the early three major civilians. All his relatives had passed away, and he was alone. After coming to Huaxia Town, he volunteered to join the army. The dog official and gentry who caused his family to be ruined, had his head cut off with one knife, his eggs were picked up twice, and his stomach was stabbed three times.

Unfortunately, An Nuo was too old and illiterate, so he was rejected during the Longlin Army's military resource assessment.

An Nuo was not discouraged, but instead joined the militia team in the base village, training hard in physical fitness, marksmanship, and riding skills... In short, hard training in all skills to kill the enemy!

I have to say that the old man An Nuo is an anomaly. One year after he practiced 13 sets of "radio gymnastics", his body rejuvenated and his stamina increased. leap.

Competing in private, it seems that ordinary members of the Marine Corps are no match for An Nuo!

The strangeness of An Nuo got the attention of several officers of the Dragon Scale Army, so when Chen Bahu responded to Long Hao's order and led the ship to the south, a naval officer took An Nuo as a reserve marine. [

The process of the Dragon Scale Army taking over Xiajia was not smooth sailing, and the local resistance forces were still very stubborn.

These resistance forces are mainly composed of local fishermen and exiled mercenaries.

Think about it, fishermen rely on the sea to eat.When your gunboats come over, they will occupy our fishing port and destroy our jobs. How can this be tolerated? Naturally, we must resist, right?

Local fishermen are not afraid to wear shoes with bare feet.Familiar with the terrain, they are fearless in battle, and the exiled mercenaries also have a certain number of weapons. The cooperation between the two produced an effect of one plus one greater than two, which added a lot of trouble to the Dragonscale Army.At the same time caused a lot of damage.

An Nuo was hit by a land mine during a battle to attack a fishing village, in order to protect his reckless comrades, blowing off an arm.

An Nuo was rescued by field doctors and survived, but she lost her disability.The naval officer who promoted him felt guilty, so he helped him apply for the official quota for wounded and retired people in the Dragon Scale Army.

According to regulations, this kind of injury and retirement quota can return to the United States or Alaska for retirement!

The benefits are extremely generous.

However, An Nuo rejected the offer, after the construction of Tianji City started.He took the initiative to ask to work in Tianji City. In his words: "This piece of land caused the old man to lose an arm. I have to work hard on it, cultivate it, and rot it to get back the capital!"

Therefore, An Nuo was assigned to work in the property management committee of the living area, and became a cleaner who patrolled the living area.

An Nuo has such a backbone, she is self-reliant and exerts her residual heat.The naval officer had no choice but to discuss with Chen Rui, and gave him a relatively high initial contribution point as compensation.

This is why An Nuo can afford a bicycle.

The property management committee is a 'poor yamen', poor and white.After An Nuo came, he spent 30 minutes to buy ten bicycles for the committee to be used by the cleaning staff on patrol.

It has to be said that bicycles have brought great convenience to the cleaners, and at the same time, the old man An Nuo's reputation in the property management committee (abbreviation of the property management committee) has increased. It is said that the next chairman of the property management committee will be ten years old. One day it will be him.

Old man An Nuo is not an official "fan". He is more willing to serve the residents of the living area and do practical things. For example, a wire basket is installed in front of his bicycle, and there are more than a dozen empty bottles in it. [

At first, Lin Mo didn't pay attention, and after hearing what An Nuo said, he ran to look at it. Sure enough, there were more than ten bottles in the basket, and there were more or less white "" bottles in them. liquid.

Seeing the white liquid, Lin Mo was excited for no reason, his teeth and lips collided, and his saliva was dark. He secretly licked the mouth of the bottle with his tongue, and was shocked: it was milk. !No, maybe not, it's the milk of some kind of mammal anyway!

So perverted, actually collecting milk of unknown origin!

Lin Mo was angry for a while, and when he thought of a certain scene, he was even more jealous and envious.

Fortunately, An Nuo explained in time, so Lin Mo's larger-scale reverie was not aroused.

An Nuo said, this is indeed "milk", but it's not cow's milk (Lin Mo said angrily: Sure enough, you are so salty and wet...), but goat's milk, horse's milk, and even milk Deer milk.

After Tesla asked the reason, An Nuo explained that the milk (animal milk, for convenience, collectively referred to as milk) was given to families with children under six years old in the living area.

Every morning, An Nuo would place the bottled milk at the door of these homes, and at this time every evening, he would ride a bicycle to recycle the bottles one by one.

An Nuo has been doing this kind of work for almost two months, and he never stops for a day.

After Lin Mo listened, he praised the property management committee for really caring about the health of the next generation. An Nuo just smiled and didn't answer.

On the contrary, Tesla observed carefully, and after asking, he found out that the milk was poured by An Nuo himself and delivered daily, and it had nothing to do with the property management committee.

Lin Mo was surprised and asked the reason. An Nuo told him that animal "milk" is a rare commodity in Tianji City. At present, there is no way to guarantee a sufficient supply for the living quarters. More than a dozen bottles of "milk" are poured every day. If there is more, it will be too powerful.

Insufficient manpower and insufficient resources are the bottlenecks that hinder the expansion of milk delivery.

Hearing this, Lin Mo and Tesla were very interested in An Nuo's position: what convenience?Can you supply milk?

However, no matter how he asked, An Nuo just shook his head and didn't say anything. In the end, he proposed to find some dinner for Tesla and the two of them. After leaving the villa, he escaped.

While waiting for An Nuo, both Lin Mo and Tesla praised this disabled old man because he cared so much for children.It should be a very happy thing to be a resident of his jurisdiction.

Not long after, the car bell jingled, and An Nuo came back.

Two servings of meat dishes in a large iron box, and rice in a small iron bucket.The overflowing aroma made the roundworms in the stomachs of Tesla and Lin Mo growl.

"Rice noodle meat, braised pork... sizzling, it's full of oil and water! Uncle An, you're really capable!"

Lin Mo served a bowl of rice first, one kind of meat per bite.After swallowing it, he shook his index finger and praised it full of praise.

Tesla was also very hungry, but he was much more refined in eating, paying attention to chewing and eating slowly, and confessing everything he swallowed. In an old Chinese saying, he is a little bit hungry.Not tired of detail.

"Well, hiccup! The meat is good, but unfortunately there are no vegetables..."

"Haha, you eat like a bitch, and you still hiccup!" Lin Mo laughed so hard that he almost spit out his rice, speaking in Chinese that Tesla couldn't understand: "Yes, Uncle An. Why is there no vegetarian food? It's so greasy. It's hard to get rid of!"

"Vegetables and fruits are quite tense now. Whoever told Shanyi City is also under construction, meat must be guaranteed first, and then vegetarians can be turned... Hey, to put it bluntly, it's still under the weather, the heat is so hot that the skins are peeling, vegetables, fruits They are difficult to grow. They are hard to store when they are ripe, and they will rot within two days. They are nothing compared to meat. We transport a carload of fat pigs and raise them in captivity. When you want to eat, you can kill one, which is convenient and does not waste.”

"So that's how it is... But, Uncle An, you are very familiar with the dining hall. After so long, you can still get steaming meals. If I hadn't met you, Dr. Tesla and I would be free tonight." Sleeping on your stomach! Good luck, I met a nobleman!"

Lin Mo grinned and filled another bowl of rice, while eating, he flattered An Nuo.

"Hehe, people think I'm old and disabled, so they just have pity on me." An Nuo was very pleased, she wrinkled again with a smile, but her mouth was very humble.

"I have a question!"

Perhaps because he couldn't stand the conversation between the two in Chinese, and didn't consider his own feelings as an international friend, Tesla asked his translator for a question.

"Doctor, have you eaten? What's your question?" Lin Mo glanced at Tesla's empty bowl.

"I'm weird……"

Tesla took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and said slowly: "Vegetables and fruits are difficult to preserve, so how is milk preserved? Milk should be more perishable than meat, and it is impossible to squeeze it now... … Judging from Uncle An’s behavior, milking should be his personal behavior, unorganized. He has to bottle his own milk, deliver milk every morning, and have a lot of cleaning during the day There's work to do, I don't think he has the time to milk every day!"

Lin Mo was stunned, and quickly translated Tesla's words.

"...Yes, I really can't milk animals every day." After listening, An Nuo pondered, and replied like this.

"ah!"

Lin Mo was slightly startled: "Uncle An, are you sending low-quality unscrupulous milk? This is harming the next generation!"

"nonsense!"

安糯气得一瞪眼,挥动独臂:“你刚才还『舔』了几下,你说哪变质了?再胡说,老头我要揍你哦!”

"Haha, joke, joke! Uncle An, Mo Nu."

After making a fuss for a while, Lin Mo stopped, reconsidered Tesla's problem, and suddenly clapped his hands in surprise and said, "I see, Uncle An, you have a way to preserve milk!"

Tesla rolled his eyes: Lin, you just realized it...

Tesla said: "It's very hot, and it's even more difficult to keep it fresh. I want to know how you keep your milk fresh!"

Lin Mo also said: "That's right, that's right, what's the secret of keeping fresh? We're so familiar, Uncle An, let's hear it!"

An Nuo glared at Lin Mo: Who knows you well, little chubby?It's not dark yet, old man, I've known you for less than two hours, familiar, familiar, I think you are thick-skinned and familiar!

"Hehe, it's not a secret. Well, speaking of it, I have to talk about my position..."

"That's right, I asked you just now, you're always playing tricks! Tell me, Uncle An, besides the cleaning staff, have you held any secret positions? Using your power for personal gain, you stole milk for the high-level people?"

"Go! Go! Go!"

An Nuo wanted to beat up this little fat man more and more. He didn't look like a soldier at all, and he had an old-fashioned mouth, "You're the only one who steals. I'm using resources rationally. By the way, keep fresh milk!"

"I'm even more curious now, Lin, ask Uncle An, can you tell me the secret of keeping fresh milk?"

Tesla stroked his mustache and urged Lin Mo.I figured it out: As expected, the way to keep it fresh is to freeze it, and if I could figure out how to get ice, I'd be more comfortable here too.

"Forget it, let me tell you, boy. To avoid damaging my reputation... It's very simple, just freeze it, I can freeze the milk, and send it out early the next morning, even the bottle is still ice-cold! "Before Lin Mo relayed it, An Nuo confessed by himself.

as expected.The secret to keeping it fresh is to freeze it with ice cubes!

"Wow, Uncle An, you are so cool, can you get ice cubes?!"

Lin Mo jumped three feet and rushed to An Nuo, as if he wanted to hug the old man and kiss him.

"Get out, don't mess around!"

An Nuo was so shocked that goose bumps appeared all over her body.Kicking Lin Mo away, he said, "It's not ice, even if it's ice, I won't give it to you, kid!"

"It's not ice, what is that?"

This time, Tesla was also surprised and moved.

"Hehe, it's okay to want to know. You are qualified, but you are not qualified!"

An Nuo grinned, pointed at Tesla for the first time, and pointed at Lin Mo who came back from a certain corner for the second time.

"Why does he have me? It's not fair!"

"Hmph, it's just because he can live in the villa, and you are just a servant!"

Seeing the aggrieved and unconvinced expression on Lin Mo's face, An Nuo smiled happily, very carefree.

"Uncle An. This hurts my heart too much!"

"Don't interrupt, you translate to this Dr. Tesla and want to know what froze the milk. I'll only tell him one person, you boy. Go away, and you are not allowed to listen!" An Nuo smugly He patted Lin Mo, who was astonished and then frustrated, and laughed loudly.

"You bully people..."

Lin Mo had no choice but to translate, and Tesla was merciless, pointing to the stairs, signaling Lin Mo to go upstairs to avoid.

"Woo, I hate you two!"

Lin Mo turned his head three times a step, reluctantly went upstairs, and waited until An Nuo and Tesla could no longer see him, then showed a sneaky smile, hurried a few steps, turned over, and lay down on the floor, Overhear.

"Do you speak English?"

When Lin Mo left, Tesla suddenly patted his head, remembering the problem of communication between the two.

"little (a little)!"

An Nuo smiled like an old fox: "Dr. Tesla, don't underestimate me (ontsmlllookme), I manage seven to nine blocks, most of the people living here are foreigners, and they all speak English."

"Well, there is no problem with the communication, so as not to ask Lin to come down, that would be too embarrassing!" Tesla said, keeping the 'smlllook' question in his heart.

"Of course it's no problem. I don't understand the language. I'm still a ball cleaner!"

"Bll? You don't look like bll, Lin does."

"Dr. Tesla, you had a villa to live in on the first day you came, and in my impression, you were the second!"

"Who's the first one?"

"Professor Sentus von Liebig!"

"Oh, I've heard of him, he is the chief expert of Meihao Chemical Factory and Meihao Research Institute, and one of the major shareholders!"

"Hehe, Meihao Chemical Factory is located in Qianji City, the production area, and it was one of the first companies to relocate from the United States."

"No wonder, there have been rumors that the Meihao Chemical Factory is a subsidiary of the Haomei Group, and the Haomei Group belongs to Princess Xianlu and the Earl of Beihai..."

Communications in this era are not well developed, but even so, Tesla still has heard of little Libig: penicillin, whitening agents, a series of medical patents...any of them are resounding scientific achievements!

"Professor Liebig doesn't live here. He usually lives in the research institute. Dr. Tesla, I think you will move to the research institute in a few days after your visit this time."

"Why? Are the living conditions in the Institute better than this?"

"On the contrary! I went to see that there were four people crammed into one room, sweating profusely like a steamer at night, and the next morning, people seemed to be exhausted."

"Then..." Tesla was puzzled.

"Research! Your brains are good. For example, the brain structure of you and Professor Liebig must be different from ours. The things you research can be exchanged for the most contribution points!"

"Contribution points, and contribution points, isn't even Professor Liebig exempt?"

Tesla frowned, but then he sighed: Uncle An is right, I really want to enter the research state as soon as possible, and develop a powerful AC motor as soon as possible, not for contribution points, but also for the promise made to me by Earl... …

"You didn't see the exchange form. Forget it. Anyway, Professor Li Bixi didn't reply once. I heard that with him taking the lead, those researchers dare not rest... Four people squeezed into a room? Then they don't sleep. Staring at the test bench in turn, it is said that if you do this, people will not be hot..."

"I can imagine that the people in Tianji City are...workaholics, the workers are! The researchers are too!" Tesla sighed: "Uncle An, do you say this has anything to do with freezing?"

"Hehe, of course it's related. Do you think I, Old Man An, are talkative? Everything I say has a purpose."

"What purpose? I can't tell... Uncle An, I admit, at this moment, your IQ has completely defeated me."

"Oh, it's annoying, I know, you're mocking me, I'm old-fashioned and old-hearted... Well, actually, it's not ice cubes that freeze milk, but an instrument, a device that allows An instrument that makes a room look like Alaska! And this instrument, according to regulations, anyone who lives in a villa can have one for free."

An Nuo finally revealed the secret that had stunned Tesla and Lin Mo's appetite for a long time.

instrument?

A device that can cool a room down?

Tesla's eyes lit up, his heart accelerated, and he was obviously interested in this stuff.

An Nuo continued: "This instrument has a shortcoming, I need to maintain it every day, doctor, before you came, the villa area was empty, so I moved that instrument to my residence , by the way, ice the milk every day to keep it fresh..."
