Chapter 682 The Approaching Spring Festival

"."

be honest.

Although Xu Yun could not fully understand Li Jue's thoughts at this time.

But relying on later generations' partial understanding of the background of this period, he could more or less guess something.

He glanced at Li Jue, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Director, in this case, what are the base's plans for this year?"

"This year"

Li Jue glanced at Xu Yun, put up three crotches, and explained:

"The leadership's plan is to allocate three steamed buns to each person, plus half a pound of meat - maybe braised beef or mutton, a whole fish of about one pound, plus two boxes of canned beef for every seven people."

"How should I put it? It's almost doubled from last year's quota."

Mentioned earlier.

Last year, the per capita quota at the base was one steamed bun, half a fish, and three taels of meat. A group of seven people in the workshop received a box of canned beef.

This year's distribution method includes two more steamed buns, two more taels of meat, and the rest are basically the direct quantity x 2. Overall, doubling the amount makes sense.

This kind of quota is considered a big hemorrhage for the base leadership. It can be said that the entire 221 base has never conducted activities of this scale since the establishment of the mine.

However, Xu Yun was silent for a moment, then gently shook his head and raised objections:

"Director, I think since the base wants to have a lively Spring Festival, let's just bite the bullet and create a really lively scene."

"If you just add two steamed buns and two pieces of meat for each person, then to put it bluntly, you are just adding some food. It always feels a bit uncomfortable, don't you think?"

Li Jue was suddenly startled and said in surprise:

"No, Xiao Xu, do you think this is not enough?"

Good guy.

Li Jue was originally worried that Xu Yun would dislike the base's arrangements for being a bit lavish, but he didn't expect that this guy actually said something embarrassing?

To know.

Although on the surface each person seems to have only two taels of meat and half a fish, in the face of the base of more than 17,000 people (including the 5,000 new employees), this is really not a small amount.

17000x0.2=3400, that is, the meat added by so many people alone is more than 3,000 kilograms.

Not to mention that this part of the meat is still the weight of the clean meat after bone removal. When converted into live cattle, sheep, pigs and other poultry, the actual slaughter volume is even higher.

Not long ago, the base leaders held a vote for this. Just the addition of two ounces of meat aroused the concerns and objections of many comrades.

If Li Jue hadn't used Xu Yun's killer weapon at that time and said something like "Advisor Xu hasn't had a good meal since arriving at the base", maybe the final vote would have ended with a majority of opponents.

Who would have thought that Xu Yun actually thought that the meat was not enough to eat, and judging from the posture, he probably wanted to add more than just a little bit.

"."

When Li Jue saw this, he couldn't help but have some bad premonitions in his heart. His long-term experience in dealing with Xu Yun told him that Xu Yun was about to make big news again:

"Xiao Xu, what do you think is the appropriate quota for each person?"

Xu Yun raised his eyes and looked at Li Jue, and a word came out of his mouth that made him raise his brows heavily:

"No limit."

Then he didn't wait for Li Jue to react.

Xu Yun sat up a little straighter and explained with some excitement:

"Director, I think our previous thinking was too limited - in fact, we don't need to separate steamed buns, fish, and meat."

"The winter wheat over there in Mao Xiong can be ground into flour to make dumpling wrappers. There are wild vegetables and mustard greens on our grassland. If we chop the mutton and beef into fillings, we can make a dumpling meal during the Spring Festival."

"The base can even ask for some cabbage from the Northeast - everyone is in short supply of meat these days, but there is still a lot of Nagada cabbage in the Northeast."

"We can make mustard greens and mutton dumplings, or we can make wild vegetable and beef dumplings. If we can get pork, we can also make pork and cabbage dumplings."

Finally.

Xu Yun couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.

The Jinyintan grassland to which the 221 base belongs is extremely vast, and native wild vegetables can be found in many places.

Some of these wild vegetables are as bitter as elm leaves, but some taste quite good.

Before Xu Yun appeared, one of the tasks of the base's sideline team was to go out every day to find these wild vegetables, so wild vegetables were considered a scarce commodity for a long time.

but

With the delivery of black soldier fly larvae and winter wheat, the base's daily needs were suddenly abundant.

Now the base sideline team has not gone out to harvest wild vegetables for a long time, so if they really search carefully, they can probably find a lot of delicious wild vegetables.

These wild vegetables, combined with other vegetables available in the base, can completely serve as the vegetarian fillings needed for dumplings.

At the same time, wheat flour is also one of the classic raw materials for dumpling wrappers, paired with mutton, beef and pork.

There is no problem with a delicious dumpling at least in terms of craftsmanship.

Looking at Xu Yun, whose eyes were shining a little, Li Jue swallowed with some difficulty:

"Unlimited dumplings?"

"Xiao Xu, you fucking dare to think about it."

Being able to make a [technical leader] like Li Jue spout dirty words shows how powerful Xu Yun's idea is.

Then Li Jue started to clasp his fingers in front of Xu Yun and made calculations on the spot:

"Let's not talk about the dumpling wrappers needed for dumplings. There will definitely be no problem in supplying the winter wheat in the base. At worst, we will have to make those donkeys grind for 22 hours a day."

"The vegetarian stuffing is not a big problem. Most of the winter wheat we got from doing business with Mao Xiong this time was given to comrades in the Northeast Industrial Zone. It is very simple to use this favor to get a few tons of cabbage from them."

"But when it comes to meat fillings, Xiao Xu, you want the base to bleed."

Hearing Li Jue's words.

Lao Guo on the side couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Just as Li Jue said.

Dumpling wrappers and vegetarian fillings are not difficult to make. The winter wheat strips from Mao Xiong have a lot of gluten and are standard all-purpose flour, so they are very suitable for making dumplings.

Vegetarian stuffing is a little more troublesome, but overall the problem is not big - this time the rabbits and the bears agreed to trade 100,000 tons of winter wheat, and the 221 base allocated about more than 1,000 tons, and at least half of the rest was It was supplied to the industrial area in the northeast.

Now that winter is approaching, this batch of food can be said to be truly life-saving supplies.

In this case, there is obviously no difficulty in letting the factories in the Northeast produce some cabbage and leeks.

But apart from the dumpling wrapper and vegetarian filling, the remaining meat filling is very troublesome.

Students who have eaten dumplings should all know this.

Generally speaking.

The skin of a dumpling is about 3 grams, and the filling of meat dumplings is 12 to 15 grams. One pound of meat filling can make about 40 dumplings.

But these days, an adult - especially an employee working in a base, really wants to eat dumplings with open belly. There is really no problem in eating sixty dumplings for one person.

In other words.

If you want to make dumplings, then the meat quota for each person will be directly increased from 5 taels to about 1.5 kilograms.

There are more than 17,000 employees in the entire base. If the regular quota is changed to dumplings, extra labor will be needed.

Seventeen thousand kilograms of meat!

Bang bang bang——

Li Jue subconsciously covered his heart, suddenly feeling that his heart hurt.

Looking at Li Jue with a "sad" look on his face, Xu Yun still insisted on his own thoughts:

"No, director, are you feeling distressed because of the extra meat?"

"This is the Spring Festival that we only celebrate once a year. It's a rare opportunity. What's wrong with the base cutting more meat?"

"Not to mention that you don't know the key research tasks that the base will face after the year. At that time, nuclear weapons research and development will enter the most critical juncture. The Spring Festival is also a good opportunity to boost morale."

Xu Yun asked himself that he was not the kind of hands-off shopkeeper who didn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. From the time he traveled to the base to now, he was still very familiar with the lack of supplies in the base.

but

As he said, the mood of the employees at the base is not particularly stable today.

His original idea was to engage in some extracurricular activities so that everyone could relax mentally to a certain extent. However, due to the tight time schedule, the extracurricular activities had to be cut in half.

Under such circumstances, the mental state of more than 80% of the employees at the base is actually not very healthy, and they urgently need an occasion to release their psychological pressure.

Again.

There are more than 10,000 employees in the entire base, but not all of them have the experience of returning to China and the awareness of serving the country like Lao Guo and others.

Many employees in the base are actually ordinary people, and their consciousness is only slightly higher than ordinary people - many of them even don't know that they are engaged in nuclear weapons research and development projects.

Therefore, how to guide their psychological pressure is actually a very important matter for the base leadership.

Not to mention that after the year, the entire base will enter the final sprint stage. By then, overtime and other things will probably be the norm. If the employees’ inner anger is not released before then, it will easily lead to some problems. group events.

This knowledge Xu Yun heard from Gu Qunqing in real life can be regarded as a small direction of business management - although it is estimated that not many people remember that Xu Yun is a company CEO selling cockroach medicine in real life.

On this basis.

That meal on New Year's Eve was obviously a very good choice.

Although due to the coldness of the plateau, it is basically impossible for the base to hold a Spring Festival Gala with tens of thousands of people on New Year's Eve, but it is not difficult to make some space to cook a big pot of rice.

This kind of collective self-help method is the best way that Xu Yun can think of to soothe the employees' psychology. It is a dual psychological and physical relaxation.

His eyes returned to reality.

Hearing Xu Yun's words, Li Jue's eyes couldn't help but twitch a few times.

As an old instructor who has participated in frontline battles, why doesn't he know that this is an excellent opportunity for collective relaxation?

But again, the cost of doing so is still too high.

But if he rejected Xu Yun's plan, Li Jue always felt that something was not right.

Then Li Jue thought for a moment and turned to look at his assistant Zhou Cai:

"Xiao Zhou, how are the meat reserves in our base currently?"

After hearing this, Zhou Cai quickly took out a small notebook from his briefcase and flipped through a few pages skillfully:

"Reporting to the factory director, as of yesterday morning, the base's livestock team had a total of 12 cows, 46 sheep and 5 pigs."

"There are also 973 native donkeys and 200 chickens and ducks."

Li Jue nodded slightly.

Jinyintan, or Xihai Province, has a very high altitude, and high-altitude areas are not suitable for raising pigs.

Currently, the pigs raised on the plateau are basically Tibetan pigs or cooperative pigs. Although they are cold-resistant and can tolerate roughage, their growth rate is extremely slow - they can only grow to 20-30 kilograms a year, and can only grow to 35-40 kilograms in 2-3 years.

Therefore, the animal husbandry team of the base currently only raises a few pigs for special circumstances, and the rest are basically cattle and sheep.

"12 cows and 46 sheep"

Li Jue quickly calculated in his mind:

"The cattle and sheep in our base are relatively small. A cow without bones can produce about 400 kilograms of meat, and a sheep is about 60 kilograms."

"17,000 kilograms of meat requires 40 cows, or. My God."

Li Jue just simply and roughly went through the numbers, and a bunch of goose bumps appeared on his hands.

Good guy.

If Xu Yun's idea is really implemented, then the cattle and sheep in the entire base will not be enough for one meal.

That is to say, the base must transfer another batch of beef and mutton from the outside world, and the pressure is full.

Thinking of this.

Li Jue decided to try his best to persuade Xu Yun to give up this idea. At the very least, he should reduce the amount of meat Xu Yun needs:

"Xiao Xu, I can roughly understand your psychology, but the amount of meat needed to supply dumplings for the entire base is too much."

"You have also heard the data reported by Xiao Zhou just now. Our entire base has only 12 cows so far."

"According to the amount of 400 kilograms of meat produced by a cow, these 12 cows can produce at most about 5,000 kilograms of meat, which is not even enough for one-third of your demand."

Xu Yun glanced at him and said:

"Director, since there are not enough cows in our base, Then we can allocate from outside."

"Allocation?"

Li Jue pulled a bitter smile from the corner of his mouth, and sighed in his heart that Xu Yun had never experienced hard life after all:

"Xiao Xu, the word allocation is easy to say, but it is not so simple to operate. "

"If you want a few tons of cabbage or a few tons of corn and potatoes, I can pat my chest and promise you that I can allocate enough."

"But beef and mutton. Xiao Xu, the year is coming to an end, and the units that need meat are not just our 221 base. The number of cattle and sheep in the country is also quite limited. How can I allocate so much meat?"

Looking at Li Jue who was complaining wildly.

Xu Yun did not show a convinced look on his face, but looked at Li Jue deeply:

"Director, I have a question to ask you first."

"What is the question?"

"If I can exchange enough beef and mutton from abroad, can the organization guarantee that they will be distributed to our base?"

Note:

Today is the 59th anniversary of the atomic bomb explosion. I was supposed to go to the Atomic City to participate in an activity of the Communist Youth League, but unfortunately I am not well yet and cannot go.
