Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Even so, the working environment inside the cave is still very harsh.

Let alone working here for months or years, even just a short while would be extremely uncomfortable. The leaders of the inspection team looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, someone sighed and said, "This tunnel is indeed different from other places. It's very long, and the natural environment is harsh. We can't just follow common sense when inspecting it. We still need to be flexible."

The other leaders nodded after hearing this, but no one else said anything more.

Fortunately, due to the use of side guide tunnels, the workers' passage and the engineering vehicle passage are separated and operated in an orderly manner, which is relatively satisfactory in terms of safety and space.

But that gas stove is a black spot that absolutely cannot be ignored...

When Ling Fengxi learned about this, he said to Wu Yongjie, "Su Binghe must be fired."

Wu Yongjie thought of the moment when Su Binghe knelt down. He said that he had elderly parents and young children to support, and that he relied on this job to make a living. Besides, it was already winter, and if he was driven down the mountain, where would he go to work on small projects?

Wu Yongjie said, "Please let me think about it."

But by this time, word had spread among the workers that Wu Lao Hu was loyal, and when Su Binghe did something wrong, Wu Lao Hu took the blame and did not punish him.

In just two or three hours, several groups of workers found Wu Yongjie and expressed their gratitude to him. They also said that Captain Wu was loyal and always protected the workers. It was for this reason that the workers had cohesion, worked well, and followed him loyally.

One, two, three... When it came to the fourth group, Wu Yongjie waved his hand and said, "Don't come again. I am willing to take some responsibility for you, but I will not condone you. If I find any fault with you again, you must all leave!"

In fact, this also indirectly means that Su Binghe doesn't have to leave this time.

After hearing this, Ling Fengxi frowned and said, "Some problems can be tolerated, but some cannot. Su Binghe's problem is his character."

Ling Fengxi had already heard about Su Bing and the sheep stealing incident.

Wu Yongjie said, "You are prejudiced."

In any case, although Ling Fengxi is a leader, he cannot extend his hands too far to deal with the affairs of Wu Yongjie's team. After all, when the inspection team was about to leave, the matter was basically settled, that is, Su Binghe was not punished, and Wu Yongjie took the blame.

Ling Fengxi was originally telling the people in the working group that it would not be good to give Wu Yongjie a serious warning for this matter, and was discussing whether they could just let it go this time?

Later, seeing Wu Yongjie's stubbornness, he immediately changed his tone. "This matter must be punished severely. After all, if the gas had caused an explosion in the tunnel, the casualties would have been unpredictable and potentially very serious. As a leader, it would have been wrong to condone this."

In this way, Wu Yongjie was given a serious warning.

Wu Yongjie didn't know this at the time and was still immersed in the workers' praise of his "benevolence, righteousness and morality".

When the working group arrived at the foot of the mountain and ate lunch, they discovered that Ling Fengxi hadn't prepared a separate meal for them. Instead, they had the same stir-fried cabbage and pork slices as the other workers, with plenty of rice. Because there were no extra bowls, they used disposable lunch boxes, meaning each member of the inspection team got their own boxed lunch, and the cafeteria charged them 20 yuan for it.

The team leader was so angry that he laughed. "Secretary, you are too stingy. We don't come here often. Although we are here to inspect your work, our inspection is also a guarantee and affirmation of your work. How can you treat us like this?"

Ling Fengxi stared intently into the other person's eyes and said, "During the construction of the West Tianshan Tunnel, unpredictable incidents frequently occur, sometimes requiring a significant investment to resolve. Our budget is very tight, so we need to save as much as possible and use the money for tunnel construction. After all, the workers only make a living from it."

After hearing these words, the people in the working group looked at each other and blushed.

When the working group left, Hanati came to the camp again to look for his sheep, saying that a big sheep was lost and was stolen by someone in the camp.

Hanati kept making a fuss. Because he was from an ethnic minority, the team instinctively thought it might be a misunderstanding. Since ethnic minorities and Han Chinese don't speak the same language, the potential for misunderstandings was high. They called Hanati over and said, "Don't bother looking for your sheep. We'll buy them. We'll buy ten and give them to the workers at the camp to improve their food supply."

When Hanati heard that there was money to be made, he stopped making a fuss and immediately returned to his sheepfold and drove ten big sheep over.

He calculated the money on the spot, threw it into the yard of the cafeteria and left.

Everyone was a little confused, after all, these were ten live sheep!

The members of the working group knew that no one in the camp might kill sheep, but they had already done what they could, and the rest was not their business. They felt that if they stayed in Xitian Mountain for a few more hours, they would mutate into stone monkeys. So the members of the working team got in the car and went down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, Hanati came again, and this time he brought his wife Ayala with him, saying that he wanted to help the people in the camp kill sheep.

He held a sharp knife in his hand and said to the people in the cafeteria, "As for me, don't look at me as a Kazakh. I am reasonable. I sold the sheep to you. I know that you Han people are not good at slaughtering sheep, so I came here to help you."

People in the cafeteria would love to have it... Xitian Mountain is quite cold, and at the end of October Xitian Mountain is like a natural refrigerator. It is completely possible to kill all the sheep at once, freeze them and eat them slowly.

Hanati then got busy.

He didn't even need help from others. He simply grabbed a sheep and laid it on a protruding rock to prevent the sheep from moving. Then he untied the rope from his waist and tied the sheep's legs. He took out a knife and accurately cut off the sheep's blood vessels, trachea and esophagus with one stroke, letting the sheep bleed out.

The series of actions were quick and neat. After draining the blood, he cut a small hole in the lamb leg, then puffed up his cheeks and blew air into it.

Separate the sheep's meat from the skin. This will make it easier to peel the sheep.

As for skinning, it was another series of skilled and wonderful movements. In just a few minutes, Hanati peeled off a complete sheepskin. He said to the workers in the cafeteria, "This sheepskin can be made into sheepskin coats and gloves. Keep it well and don't throw it away. It's a valuable resource."

Ling Fengxi had already arrived. After all, killing ten sheep was such a big deal. He said, "There's no one in the camp who can do this. Can you help me?"

Hanati laughed when he heard this. "Sure, sure. I brought my wife here just for this! Come on, show this leader your cooking skills."

At this time, Ayala, who was squatting on the ground sorting the sheepskin, could no longer hide, so she had to stand up, turn around and look at Ling Fengxi.

Ling Fengxi did not recognize Ayala at first glance. Ayala was wearing a sheepskin coat. Because it was too cold in Xitian Mountain, she was wearing something very bulky. She also wore a sheepskin hat on her head. The two ears of the hat were unbuttoned at the moment, revealing a healthy face that was red from the wind.
