Natural disasters descended abruptly, and the world underwent massive changes. First came extreme heat, then extreme cold, followed by earthquakes, heavy fog, eternal night, and acid rain, all arri...
When it comes to going out to sea, Wang Dacheng seems to have endless words to say, and his face is full of yearning and expectation.
The person sitting next to Wang Dacheng looked over when he heard this.
"Dacheng, you've been thinking about going out to sea all day long!"
Wang Dacheng smiled and not only did not refute, but also nodded, "Then you are right, I want to go out to sea! Otherwise, I will be idle in the base all day long, what's the point?
I am not like you who all have wives and children and warm beds. I am alone, so what else can I do if I don’t try my luck? "
"That's not the way it's said. Even if you're alone, you can't ask everyone to go out to sea. This is what we have already discussed before.
Going to sea is for everyone, and everyone has to go! No one can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor at the base, except the elderly and children."
"Doesn't the base commander still go there every time?"
"Can you compete with the base commander?"
"Why can't we compare..."
Listening to their conversation, Su Nian roughly understood how this base operated.
chapter
Fishing at sea is the main source of income for this base.
But when it comes to seafood, no matter how much you eat it, you still need a staple food!
How do you solve the staple food problem?
Although he was confused, Su Nian didn't ask any more questions.
When you don't understand the situation, you should listen more, watch more and talk less.
After waiting for a while, Su Nian smelled the pungent smell of chili and the unique fresh aroma of seafood.
You know what, it tastes really good!
Just smelling it makes one's mouth water.
Wang Dacheng also looked over at this time, and said with a proud look on his face, "How is it? Sister Chen's cooking skills are good, right?"
Su Nian and Jing Mo nodded at the same time, "Very good!"
Hearing the two people's answers, Wang Dacheng's smile became even brighter. "When you taste it later, you will know how good it tastes."
Seafood cooks relatively quickly, so Su Nian didn’t have to wait too long before hearing someone shouting that dinner was ready.
After hearing the words "dinner is ready", the people who were originally sitting at their seats stood up and lined up with their lunch boxes.
More than two hundred people is not a large number, and with three windows serving meals at the same time, the speed is still very fast.
Wang Dacheng looked at Su Nian and Jing Mo, "Do you have lunch boxes?"
"have!"
Su Nian and Jing Mo took out lunch boxes from their respective backpacks and then followed Wang Dacheng to queue up for food.
When queuing, Su Nian also noticed that the elderly or children were standing at the front, while young and strong men and women were standing at the back.
The three of them arrived later and stood at the back.
Wang Dacheng also comforted Su Nian and Jing Mo, "Don't worry, there is enough food, even if you stand at the end, you can still win."
When it was his turn in line, Su Nian knew why Wang Dacheng said that.
The person serving the food holds a big spoon in his hand.
The spoon in his hand was like a scale, and the amount of food he served to each person was exactly the same.
If you can serve according to the portion, then it must be cooked according to the portion, so naturally everyone can get some food.
A spoonful of rice and a spoonful of stir-fried seafood stew, covering the rice, looks quite tempting.
Su Nian sat down again with the lunch box and took a closer look.
The rice is multi-grain rice, which is made by steaming many kinds of grains mixed together.
There are rices of various colors, various beans, and even two peanuts.
It’s not much different from the eight-treasure rice pudding before the end of the world. The only difference is probably that there are more varieties.
It’s been more than three years since the end of the world, and this small base can still provide coarse grain meals. This is really amazing!
As for the spoonful of seafood stew, the variety is even richer.
Some of them were ones that Su Nian knew, and some were ones that Su Nian couldn't tell what breed they were.
It should be fried with bean paste or hot pot base. It is reddish in color and full of aroma.
Everything is good, the only downside is that the portion is a bit small.
Su Nian finished all the food in his lunch box, but he was still not half full.
Wang Dacheng, who was sitting opposite him, had also finished eating and looked over with a smile, "How was it? It tasted good, right?"
Su Nian nodded in appreciation, "It's delicious!"
"If you come again in the future, you can still eat here."
Su Nian just nodded when he heard this and didn't say anything else.
Everyone was concentrating on eating and the entire cafeteria was very quiet.
And Su Nian also noticed one thing, that is, no one went for a second bowl.
Su Nian admitted that he had a big appetite, but even for a person with a normal appetite, this amount of food would probably only make him half full.
These people did not go to get more food, not because they were full, but because that was all the food they had for a meal.
No wonder, they eat pretty well, but they are all so thin.
Su Nian and Jing Mo followed Wang Dacheng to wash the lunch boxes before walking out of the cafeteria.
Returning to the room where they lived and closing the door, Su Nian went to see Jing Mo, "Want something else to eat?"
They both had similar appetites, she wasn't even full, let alone Jing Mo.
Jing Mo touched his stomach and said, "Let's eat something that doesn't taste so good."
After all, it's in someone else's place, and the room isn't private enough.
Su Nian took out two bowls of rice with toppings, neither of which tasted too strong.
The two of them ate very quickly, and in a short while, the whole bowl of rice was finished.
Not in a hurry to wash the dishes, Su Nian directly put the empty bowl back into the space.
Look at the time, it’s only seven o’clock, it’s a little early to go to bed.
Just as I was thinking of finding something to read to kill some time, I heard laughter outside.
The sound came from far away, it was the sound of children playing.
Thinking of the children he saw in the cafeteria, Su Nian whispered, "This base... is pretty good."
At least the elderly and children are well taken care of.
Especially the children, their clothes had traces of mending but were clean.
There seems to be some flesh on his face, and he doesn't look like he's hungry and has a big head and a small body.
In the small bases where Su Nian lived in his previous life, many children without parents or relatives had an extremely difficult life.
They were so hungry that their heads were big and their bodies were small, just like big-headed dolls.
Not only that, there is also the risk of losing one's life at any time.
Compared with those children, the children in this base are like living in heaven.
Thinking of the praise others had given Feng Xiuli in the cafeteria before, Su Nian also looked at Feng Xiuli with admiration.
It is indeed amazing that a woman can create a base in the apocalypse, serve as the base leader, and take such good care of the elderly and children in the base.
Not to mention, she always went out to sea with them, setting an example and sacrificing herself for others.
Su Nian herself is not such a person and cannot do these things, but it does not prevent her from respecting such people.
