After receiving the call, Wu Nanhai quickly asked someone to turn back the fire on the stove and start cooking. The temperature in Hainan in autumn is rarely lower than 25 or 6 degrees Celsius, and is often close to 30 degrees Celsius during the day. In order to prevent overcooking of food, it will cause irritation.
He failed, so the catering office cooked according to the rations every day, just leaving a little bit rich. There was some food prepared for the night shift in the cafeteria, but it really couldn't meet such a strong demand. He quickly called everyone who had gone back to rest.
He came out. While cooking, he asked Hu Yicheng to count the food needed.
A pot full of rice was cooked and immediately delivered to the camp. The rice for thirty people was immediately snatched up. Many people saw that this paper could really buy rice, and no one bought porridge.
, all rushed up to buy rice. Hu Yicheng watched in disbelief as they wolfed down the white rice without any vegetables. He still remembered hearing stories about poor people when they were young, in which the protagonists all "mixed it with soy sauce"
"Rice" already feels very inhuman. Nowadays, these people don't even have a grain of salt, let alone soy sauce.
I saw another guy crowding up, poking his large wooden bowl in front of his eyes, and holding another work-point coupon in his hand. Although he couldn't quite understand what he was saying, he could still guess.
He was talking about "one bowl of rice." Hu Yicheng shook his head and gave him another bowl - this guy seemed to be eating his fourth bowl, right? What a strong man.
Xiong Buyou was a little scared and leaned closer to Wu De, whispering: "Old Wu, did you eat too much? You won't stretch them out, right?"
Wu De shook his head: "Don't worry, farmers can eat. There are so many older people in my hometown who eat one pound per meal. In the past, farmers had no oil or water to eat, so they ate a lot."
As we talked, the amount of rice consumed gradually decreased, and more and more people bought salted fish, probably because they felt that they had to make a meal after eating. Unfortunately, there was no salted fish in Wu Nanhai's canteen.
"The salted fish is gone, gone." Hu Yicheng shouted loudly, "Please buy more tomorrow, they are all sold out today."
Many people looked disappointed when they heard that the salted fish was gone. The noisy atmosphere gradually died down.
"Are the fish gone?" Wu De ran over and asked.
"No more. The stock in the canteen is all gone. We have to go to Bopu to get it tomorrow." The Agricultural Committee has a seafood processing factory in Bopu.
"Nothing left?"
Hu Yicheng spread his hands and said, "I diverted all the night shift meals for the military team to you. I'll prepare more for you tomorrow. The salted fish is not popular in the cafeteria anyway."
"I killed the fish once when I brought it in, and again when I cooked it for you." Xiong Buyou said seriously.
Looking at the crowd slowly dispersing, Wu De ordered Lin Xing: "Tell everyone not to leave. Just calculate how much you want to buy and pick it up for them right away!"
Hu Yicheng quickly said: "This can't be done. It's almost dark. How can I go to Bopu to pick up the goods now?!"
"I'll go in person." Wu De thought that this was an excellent opportunity to establish trust. Whether it was the work-share coupons themselves or their group of "pirates", if they wanted to truly win the trust of the locals, they had to do what they said and do.
Result - The smaller the matter, the more important it is to show your attitude.
"It's too dangerous," Xiong Buyou quickly dissuaded him. "It will be dark in half an hour. There are no street lights on the highway and it is unsafe."
"It doesn't matter. Just use the car." Wu De said, and directly called Xiao Zishan, the member of the Internal Affairs and Civil Affairs Committee, explained the situation, and asked for a car to be allocated to Bopu. According to the security regulations of the military group, starting half an hour before nightfall
Until dawn, no one or car can get on the road.
"Get salted fish?!" Xiao Zishan asked in surprise, "Just to get a bucket of salted fish?"
"Yes! It's very important."
"Are you kidding me? Can't we just let a pickup truck bring this thing tomorrow? We'll also send a special car to pick it up. Not to mention it's going to be dark now, even in broad daylight. Will it be a waste of my ears?"
"This is not a waste!" Wu De explained his thoughts in detail and analyzed the good response he would receive after doing so.
"That's true, but even if the supply is delayed by one night, it won't collapse our credit. The store may still be out of stock, and we don't need to go to this point."
"I know very well whether it is necessary!" Wu De became irritated. How could these bureaucrats understand how difficult it is to win people's hearts? It doesn't matter if the salted fish comes tomorrow, but the effect will not be as good as it is today. Things like trust need to be established.
It’s extremely difficult to get up, and you definitely shouldn’t miss this opportunity.
"Okay then." After hearing his repeated insistence, Xiao Zishan finally gave in and gave him a Beijing 212. He also told him to bring more things back since he left: "Don't waste time running away."
The jeep drove towards Bobu in the sunset. Wu De drove the car himself, and Wu Nanhai accompanied him - he wanted to stop by to see the production status of the seafood factory.
Wu Nanhai took the opportunity in the car to demand that the labor group allocate some farmers to the Agricultural Committee, no longer as collective action workers, but as permanent employees of the Agricultural Committee.
"Okay, I'll ask the executive committee for instructions. If it agrees, I will allocate a few people to you. They are all actively asking to join the team."
"Can you farm?"
"Haha, of course, the people in Lingao are basically farmers, except for that Zhang Xingjiao."
"Actually, I would rather have some children so that I can teach them personally." Wu Nanhai changed the direction of the SKS in his arms. It was a bit cramped in the narrow hood of the jeep.
"No problem, I'll tell you the inside information." Wu De pretended to be mysterious, "We will send someone to Guangzhou soon."
Wu Nanhai was surprised: "How do you know? I am one of the executive committee members."
"Don't forget that I came from the military group," Wu De said proudly, "The people in the military group know everything now - they are notifying Xi Yazhou to select security personnel. By the way, I heard that he is going to go too.
"
"Then it's better to go to Bei Wei."
"Bei Wei trains every day and can't leave. And there is no military team more suitable for him." Wu De saw the people on the first tower passing by showing light signals, and he also turned on his headlights.
In response-their itinerary has been notified to various gun towers along the road.
"He has business experience. We veterans have never done business. Is this an advantage? Besides, he is also very active."
"Then I have to make a list of all the things I want to buy." Wu Nanhai quickly took out a small notebook and memorized it.
"Don't worry, several main executive committee members are still debating whether to go to Guangzhou, but now it seems that we must go."
"It's too exaggerated. I still have to go."
"It's not an exaggeration at all. Let me tell you another inside story -" Wu De said in a low voice, "Do you know about the Ocean Horse?"
"You know, he's an American agent or something, right?"
"She is now assigned to the security team to teach and train the people in the security team. A few days ago, she almost gave someone-" Wu De said, smiling mysteriously.
"What are you giving me?" Wu Nanhai suddenly became nervous, "Kill him?"
"There are about five hundred young men here who have been poisoned by Japanese underground movies. They live a boring life every day in the wilderness of the 17th century. What do you think they will do?"
Wu Nanhai suddenly realized it and found it unbelievable.
"How can this be!"
"It's possible, but that woman is very skilled, so she didn't succeed." Wu De sighed, "Now this girl has become a hot potato of the Executive Committee."
"Are you going to arrest someone?"
"Of course not." Wu De shook his head repeatedly, "It is not a crime to intensify conflicts over such a foreigner. In fact, Ran Yao found out who did it the next day."
"Isn't this bad?" Wu Nanhai disagreed very much, "In any time and space, this is an out-and-out criminal act! This is connivance by the Executive Committee, and the consequences will be endless."
"Pursuit? Do you remember the tone set at the general meeting that year? 'Everyone is equal, but time-travelers are more equal than others.'"
"That's right. That's why we have to protect the interests of time-travelers. Such a naked violation of a companion, or a woman -" Wu Nanhai suddenly stopped, does Salina count as a time-traveler?!
"Remember it," Wu De said meaningfully, "There are seven people in total who are accidental stowaways, not passers-by."
"Can we absorb them? There's nothing wrong with it. They are from the 21st century just like us. Now that we are in this time and space, we can only start a business with us."
"The bad thing is that she is a foreigner. 'People who are not from my race must have different hearts.' I am afraid many people think so."
"This -" Wu Nanhai felt that this reason was too far-fetched, "Even if I can't trust her, I wouldn't do that to her..."
Wu De chuckled: "It's indeed a bit much. After this incident, the executive committee made up its mind to send people to Guangzhou as soon as possible."
Wu Nanhai suddenly felt goosebumps: "Oh my god, are you going to buy a woman?!"
Wu De smiled mysteriously and continued driving, which was equivalent to acquiescing to this statement.
"But I have no interest in women in this time and space at all. If I want a woman, I have to raise her from a lolita."
"For me, I am very satisfied if I have a woman who can help me cook and wash my clothes." Wu De sighed, "When will the days of washing my own clothes and eating in the canteen come to an end..."
The two people were talking, and soon arrived at Bopu, picked up a few buckets of salted fish, bundled them in the car, and rushed back. It was already dark, and the road was pitch dark, so it was not difficult to drive with the headlights on.
, the lights of the turrets along the road became a beacon to guide them, and they returned to the camp smoothly.
The workers who had dispersed were summoned again, and a barrel of salted fish was opened. Wu De told them angrily: Open the supply, and you can buy as much as you want. The workers hesitated for a while, but not many people came up to buy. Someone came up to buy.
He carefully wrapped the remaining work-point coupons in rags and hid them in his clothes. Ma Peng was one of them - he thought that if he found an opportunity, he would have to call his family over and have a good meal.
