Wash the pot and boil water.
Time was tight right now, and I didn't plan on making a big meal. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, I took out a few boxes of instant noodles, ham sausages, and lamb rolls, boiled water, threw them all in, and then added the seasonings.
Then they stuffed all the ** into the stove pit.
Soon, the fragrance spread from this direction.
Zheng Aiguo's eyes lit up.
"It's done so quickly?"
Brothers, can you smell the delicious food? My wife has cooked for us.
My sister-in-law said we can't work hard and then go hungry. Those of you who can put your work aside, go eat first, and then come back and let us go. Is that okay?
The voices came from all directions, almost in unison.
"good!"
Commander Lin was also taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and laughed to himself.
"We also need a political commissar; that's very thoughtful."
Jian Dan was completely unaware of what was happening outside. The noodles were cooked, and when she saw someone come in, she didn't pay any more attention. She had made quite a lot, and there was also a lot of dry food stored in her space on the stove, including steamed buns and cornbread. She estimated that it would be enough to fill her up.
She found a sheltered corner, took out two slaughtered wild goats from her spatial storage, dragged them back to the kitchen, chopped them up, and planned to put them directly into the pots as soon as they were cooked. Nothing else was convenient, so she decided on goat soup, which was easy and had some oil.
One group of people finished eating and left, and it was only with the last group that Commander Lin finally appeared.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so glad you came. I really didn't expect this."
Jian Dan was washing the empty pot and putting the lamb into it.
"How's the situation? How many people have been rescued?"
Commander Lin wolfed down a bowl of food before catching his breath and speaking to her.
"Not good. The light is too dim, which has slowed us down considerably. We're also worried about accidentally injuring people while digging. I've sent a few people back to collect the flashlights. Things should be better when they get back."
She was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look outside. Sure enough, it was almost completely dark, and she couldn't help but frown.
At that time, the only forms of lighting were kerosene lamps and candles.
Coal mines are special places where open flames are strictly prohibited. Today's accident may very well have been caused by an open flame.
But even with a flashlight, what's the effect?
She stopped what she was doing, paused,
"Wait here for me a moment."
There really is a headlamp in the space, and it's a high-powered one. I forgot why I hoarded it, but I haven't used it since. I just found it while searching in the space. Anyway, I've already shown off quite a few today, so one more won't make a difference. I'll ask Political Commissar Qin to find an excuse for me when I get back.
When lives are at stake, who cares about so many other things?
He went out for a walk, came back dragging several burlap sacks.
"Commander, don't ask anything, don't say anything, just use it, it's good stuff."
"Put this on your head, this is the switch."
The kitchen was lit with candles, but as soon as the headlamp was switched on, the incandescent light instantly enveloped the entire room, casting shadows even quite far from the doorway.
Commander Lin's bowl suddenly lost its flavor; he was stunned for a moment, then quickly became flustered and at a loss for what to do.
"Sister-in-law, this, this is bright, this is good, are all of these in here?"
He didn't even have time or energy to think further. His first reaction upon seeing it was, "This is so bright! It's almost like daytime light. You can see it clearly even underground in the mine." He immediately became incoherent.
"Sister-in-law, is this for us? Or for the brothers?"
Simply hand him what you're holding.
"What else can we do? Let's hurry up, so you don't have to worry. It's worth it if we can save another life."
Work hard, and you'll get meat when you get home late at night.
He wiped his face, not bothering to say anything, and with a loud "whoosh," he summoned several people.
"Someone come quick! Someone come!"
Quickly, take a few to the wards, and carry the rest over there, be careful.
Then I carefully put the headlamp on my head and turned it on, just like a simple person would.
In an instant, the entire mine became almost as bright as day.
The soldiers working all turned their heads to look at them instantly.
Then, it seemed to boil over...
After watching for a while, I stopped paying attention to their excitement, sighed simply, and continued with my work. I separated the mutton and bones in my hands and put them into several pots. Then I sat on a stool to tend the fire, and my mind started to wander. Was the little one sleeping right now? Was he fussing? Did he miss his mother?
She hadn't thought about it, but Qin Qinghuai wasn't idle. After sending everyone out, he came to his senses and began to think about the issue of logistical supply.
Without needing to say anything, when his wife said she was going, they exchanged a glance, and he knew she was definitely going to do something. Whether it was a tacit understanding between the couple or a simple understanding between them, after she left, he started asking the canteen to prepare easy-to-carry dry food and steamed buns.
Before the midnight meal even started, Jian Dan saw Platoon Leader Xu leading men up to deliver dry rations. So, the midnight meal consisted of mutton soup and mutton with the dry rations from the mess hall. The soldiers ate their hot meals and had more motivation to go out and work.
Not far from the kitchen were temporary wards. As the rescue operation progressed, more and more injured people were brought in. Doctor Qin and the others had their meals prepared and delivered to them in a simple manner. Even so, they couldn't sit down and have a proper meal.
When the meal was delivered, Dr. Qin had just finished performing an emergency and was sitting on the ground resting without any regard for appearances. He simply and decisively brought the bowl to his mouth.
