Chapter 366 There is strength in numbers

"Comrades are here!"

"No, Captain He, we just came here a while ago.

The comrades from the Public Security Bureau and the Street Office haven't arrived yet, so we'll probably have to wait a while."

Seeing that they still had to wait for the people from the Street Office and the Public Security Bureau, He Yuzhu didn't say anything and turned to ask about the business.
"Oh, Lao Zhou, we have to do a thorough cleaning of the steel mill, meat processing plant, soy sauce factory, tofu factory, and flour mill in Dongcheng District as soon as we get to work tomorrow.

You must remember to do a good job of supervision.

Especially in meat processing plants and soy sauce factories, various sewage and sauces are most likely to breed mosquitoes, rats and ants.

During the period of eliminating the four pests, we must ensure good cleanliness and sanitation.”

When He Yuzhu said this, Zhou Yiming and the other security chiefs who were named all nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Captain He,

The factory leaders take the matter of eradicating the four pests much more seriously than our security department does, and they will definitely handle these matters well.

Of course, we will not slack off in our work.”

Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded, then looked at Zhou Yiming and said,
"Mr. Zhou, compared to others, your steel mill has an additional safety issue.

It has been almost two years since the "Factory Safety and Health Regulations" were promulgated in 56. You should pay more attention to the operation of the protective devices installed in the factory.

Although there are casualty indicators above, we cannot rely solely on them.
After all, human life is at stake, and we should avoid it if we can.”

Hearing He Yuzhu mention this, Zhou Yiming nodded solemnly, knowing that there are always cases of industrial injuries and deaths in steel mills every year.

"Captain He, rest assured that we will always pay attention to this issue and urge each workshop to conduct self-inspection.
Protect workers’ health as much as possible and reduce the occurrence of work-related injuries, deaths and occupational diseases.”

"Okay, I'll definitely trust you guys to do the job."

Not long after, people from the Public Security Bureau and the Street Office finally arrived. After assigning their tasks, everyone set out with ladders to the remaining city walls near Dongzhimen and Andingmen.

When we came to the city wall, we looked at the broken walls stretching into the distance.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh.

However, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the lush sunflowers and castor beans growing on the foundation.

After all, living in this era of material scarcity but equal distribution, he has truly experienced what it means that a grain of sand in the era is like a mountain when it falls on anyone's head.

clean up your mood,
He Yuzhu and the militia carried the ladder and climbed up the city wall along the ruins.
Then he fixed the hook of the ladder to the parapet, lowered the ladder, and climbed down carefully.

"Comrades, everyone please be safe.

There is no rush to block the sparrow holes. If we can’t finish it in the morning, we can do it in the afternoon, or even tomorrow. We can take our time. Safety is the most important thing.”

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the comrades climbed down and said loudly,
"Yes, Captain He."

Seeing the comrades' powerful answers, He Yuzhu nodded and continued.
After a while, he found a sparrow hole. He reached in and took out the sparrow's nest. There were several bird eggs inside. So he put the eggs in his pocket, threw away the bird's nest, and started to block the hole with soil.

After going up and down the city wall for a while, it didn't take long for all the sparrow holes in the mission area assigned to He Yuzhu's team to be blocked tightly.
There are quite a few bird eggs that everyone has collected.

"Now is the season when sparrows lay eggs. Everyone shared the sparrow eggs and took them home to cook and feed the children."

After the bird eggs were distributed, the teams in other areas also completed their tasks one after another.

Gathering together, He Yuzhu began to arrange the tasks for the afternoon.

"Everyone go back to eat, gather here at 2pm. Remember to bring the few shotguns assigned to us. We will go to the designated shooting points to shoot sparrows this afternoon. Meeting adjourned!"

Leaving the city wall, He Yuzhu walked back with the bird eggs in his arms.

Along the way, you can see ordinary people who have just cleaned up the rat holes in their homes using hoes and shovels to dig out rat holes in the alleys and fill in sewage pits.

When we return to Luoguxiang,
In the alley, groups of teenagers were running around with slingshots, stopping from time to time to shoot birds.

It’s just that the technology is limited and the harvest is pitifully small.

When they saw He Yuzhu, they greeted him as "Brother Zhuzi, Uncle Zhuzi" and then started looking for sparrows everywhere.

Seeing them running around like headless flies, He Yuzhu smiled and waved to them.
"Come here, come here, how can you catch sparrows like this!
Come here and I will teach you."

"Uncle Zhuzi, Uncle Zhuzi, my dad said you are a capable person in Nanluoguxiang, so teach us how to play Mahjong, and we will listen to you."

"Brother Zhuzi, please teach us how to play Mahjong. We always miss the target."

……

Seeing a group of teenagers running over to surround him while talking, He Yuzhu nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll teach you now. I won't say that I can definitely catch sparrows.

Even if we do this, we can still get 80%. "

"Okay, okay, Brother Zhuzi, please teach us quickly."

"Don't underestimate the slingshot. It's easy to learn but hard to master. You've only had the slingshot for a few days, so you can't shoot very accurately.

But as the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, if one person can't do it, just bring more people.
When you see a sparrow, don't just pull the rubber band and hit it in a hurry. Everyone should act in unison and throw 10 or so stones at it at once. How can the sparrow escape?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, I imagined the scene of stones flying towards the sparrows.
The eyes of the young men surrounding him all lit up.

Just at this moment, a sparrow landed on the wall of the courtyard in front. The boys all cried out in surprise, then quickly picked up their slingshots and aimed.

After taking aim, he turned to look at He Yuzhu, waiting for his order.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu took over the command without hesitation, signaling them to continue aiming, and then ordered,
"beat!"

As more than ten stones flew towards the sparrow, the little sparrow fell down and fell directly from the wall.
Let the remaining stones make a clinking sound on the bricks of the wall.

Seeing that He Yuzhu's method was really effective, the teenagers all became excited and ran over to pick up the sparrows, cheering.

Then they started arguing about who had shot the sparrow.

Compared to guns, the slingshot's firing speed is not fast, but no one can tell which stone was shot by whom among the numerous stones.

Seeing that neither of them could convince the other,
He Yuzhu also wanted to get some sparrows to eat, so he came up with an idea.

"Come on, you guys are already making a fuss after just one sparrow. How are we going to cooperate in fighting sparrows in the future?

If you ask me, you guys should fight first, and then come to me with the sparrows, or to He Ying's mother.

I paid for it.

Then you can just divide the money or buy food, that will be all."
