Yes, it is right here!

Choi Hyun pointed to the side and said, "Don't be fooled by how wide this road is; actually, it ends a hundred or two meters down there."

So there's no road access here. We can just pitch our tents by the roadside, it's fine.

"Alright, let's set up the tent first!"

Shen Yanming opened the trunk, took out a tent and a coal stove, and then set up the tent with everyone.

The military green tent wasn't very big, but the fabric was thick and very windproof.

Chen Qing took a coal stove from the side and put it in the tent, then took several folding chairs from the car and put them next to the stove.

“The folding chair belongs to my family, and the coal stove was brought by Yu Shui. He rode his electric bike for more than an hour to bring it over, and his hands and feet were numb from the cold,” Chen Qing said to Shen Yanming.

Shen Yanming glanced at it and saw that the coal briquettes had just been replaced, so the outer wall of the stove wasn't very hot.

He nodded and said to Chen Qing, "Thank you for your hard work, you've thought of everything so thoroughly."

"Of course, we're all in a group, and we all want to get this done."

"Hmm, I brought some more things with me, let's go move them!"

Shen Yanming called Chen Qing and Cui Xian, and they unloaded two storage boxes and two bottles of purified water from their car and moved them all into the tent.

Bi Qiaoan squatted down and opened the storage box. Cui Xian and Chen Qing were stunned when they saw it. "Did you two bring all your belongings with you? It feels like you're living a very comfortable life!"

Bi Qiaoan shook her head with a smile, "No way, I was just thinking about taking care of myself and serving everyone!"

Shen Yanming bent down and opened the vent of Yu Shui's stove a little, saying, "If it weren't for this stove, I would have had to find a way to start a fire. Yu Shui has been a great help to me."

Then the couple took out an iron pot from the storage box, put it on the stove, added water, brown sugar, red dates, and ginger slices.

"This is ginger and brown sugar water that Qiao An prepared. We'll make some for ourselves first, and then share it with others when they arrive!" Shen Yanming said. "Did you all bring your own cups?"

"Yes, I brought a big thermos!"

I didn't expect you two to be so well-prepared. If I had known, I would have just brought a cup.

"It made me walk slowly the whole way, afraid of breaking the thermos." Cui Xian said as she ran outside and brought in a pink thermos.

"That's good. If there are too many people and we don't have time to add cold water to boil it, we can just add some hot water. It will save us a lot of trouble."

Shen Yanming thought to himself that when he was preparing supplies, he had mostly focused on food and clothing, and he hadn't really prepared anything like a thermos.

After all, outside of Qinghua Kingdom, there are very few countries that drink hot water.

Looks like I'll have to find some time in the next couple of days to buy two thermos flasks.

A few people were chatting around the stove when they heard the beeping of a car horn a few minutes later.

Looking outside, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old got out of a black sedan, walked up to the tent, and asked, "Are you the reception staff from Haishi? We came from Beihashi!"

“Yes, that’s us. How many of you are there? Little girl, come in and rest for a while!” Bi Qiaoan greeted with a smile.

The little girl nodded, turned around, and shouted two sentences in dialect towards the car. Bi Qiaoan didn't understand, but she knew it was a message for her family to get off the car.

A middle-aged couple got out of the car. Cui Xian and Chen Qing moved a few small stools from the corner to the stove and said, "You must be tired from the journey. Come and warm yourself by the fire. Let's check the information first, and then we'll go to the house."

The young girl nodded her thanks, and the middle-aged couple smiled as well.

The three sat around the stove warming themselves, and Chen Qingchao asked them, "Can I see your ID cards?"

"Can!"

Several people took out their ID cards from their bags or pockets and handed them to Chen Qing, who then looked through the list to check them.

Taking advantage of the break, Bi Qiaoan asked the middle-aged woman beside her, "Auntie, what time did you leave? Why are you here so early? Also, how did you know we were the reception staff?"

The middle-aged woman said with a smile, "We set off at 9:30 last night. The car was driving slowly on the road, so we only arrived at this time."

Before we set off, our representative from North Harbin said that once we arrived in Haishi, we should just look for the green tents; the people sitting inside would definitely be our reception staff.

Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "That's really true!"

He was inwardly complaining that such a big thing hadn't been announced in Haishi.

Aren't they afraid that some people won't take the tents, leaving the other party unable to find the reception staff?

However, she couldn't say it, as it would damage the image of the reception staff in Shanghai.

"Aren't you working? Why are you carrying a pot?" The little girl stared at the iron pot on the stove for a long time before she finally couldn't help but ask.

Bi Qiaoan casually picked up the pot lid, letting the other person see the wine-red liquid inside, and said, "I made some ginger and brown sugar water to warm up the guests who have come from afar."

The little girl's eyes lit up as she looked at the red dates and ginger slices floating on top. She licked her lips and asked uncertainly, "Is this for us to drink?"

Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Yes, but you've arrived a bit early; the water in the pot hasn't boiled yet."

"It's okay, I can wait!" The little girl's eyes crinkled with laughter upon receiving an affirmative answer.

"Look at you, so pathetic!" The middle-aged woman glared at the little girl, then smiled and said to Bi Qiaoan, "I'm so sorry, everything is rationed where we're from, and my little girl hasn't had candy in ages."

“Our city also has limited supplies. This is only because my husband and I have a lighter burden and we saved some.”

"Oh? This is for a person? I thought it belonged to a government agency! If that's the case, I'll feel embarrassed to drink it!" the girl said shyly.

"It's alright, we brought it out to entertain our guests. If you don't drink it, someone else will," Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.

“That’s right, that’s right, young lady, don’t be shy. Once the water boils, I’ll have Qiao An pour you a cup,” Cui Xian added from the side.

"Well, then I won't stand on ceremony!" The little girl smiled shyly, then said to the group, "We were quite nervous before we set off, worried that the people here would be xenophobic and difficult to get along with, but we didn't expect you all to be so welcoming!"

The group laughed awkwardly. They had no choice; they had been assigned this kind of work, and they couldn't just refuse to do it.

Bi Qiaoan could only smile and say, "It's my pleasure. If you're in a good mood, our work will be easier to carry out!"

At this point, Chen Qing had also verified the information. He asked the group, "My form says your family has six members, what about the remaining three...?"

"Oh, they're behind us." The middle-aged man explained, "My grandson probably has an upset stomach. His parents went with him to the toilet, and they'll be back in a bit."
