Chapter 494 Green Plants

This time, the two of them were familiar with the route and did not need to spend time looking for a landing place or avoiding possible inhabited areas on the road.

The last time they went out, the two of them carefully paid attention to the village that might appear below their feet. Not only did they have to control the flight altitude, but they also had to pay attention to the wind direction and wind speed at high altitudes, wasting a lot of time along the way.

This time we arrived more than half an hour earlier. After landing, I didn't do anything else. I sat on the seat, put on a coat, and fell asleep with my eyes closed.

This time the two planned to go into the city together, and they replaced the backpacks on their backs with bamboo backpacks, which could bear better loads and hold more.

When the two arrived at the city gate, the security check had just started.

With the experience from last time, the two of them also brought out their ID cards that they had kept for many years.

When they went to college, they didn't transfer their registered residence. The addresses on their two ID cards were the same. The security officer looked up at the two of them and still remembered Mu Xi. He asked, "Did you bring your sister with you this time?"

The ID card addresses are the same, they really don't look like a couple. He pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and was interrupted by Zhao Yeqing when he was about to say something.

"Yeah, my brother came here by himself last time."

Mu Xi looked at her speechlessly, and seeing that her eyes were full of interest, he nodded in agreement without being disappointed.

After being checked everywhere on their bodies and found to be okay, the two were allowed in. However, the cargo they had placed on the conveyor belt was taken out individually by the security personnel during the security check.

"What is this?"

There was a transparent glass jar with white powder inside. Security personnel and defense personnel immediately surrounded it.

Zhao Yeqing hurriedly opened the can and handed it to the security inspector: "Lotus root powder! Lotus root powder! Not those things!"

A uniformed security guard stepped forward, dipped some powder on his little finger, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and nodded to the person next to him with bright eyes: "It's lotus root powder."

The person doing the security check of the items was a man in his forties. He couldn't help himself on the spot and wanted to buy the items directly through the back door.

But they have regulations that prohibit them from doing such things during working hours, otherwise all the good things brought into the city would end up in their pockets first, right?

He could only say politely: "Next time you come, if there is any left, can you leave a can for me?"

He no longer expected to wait until he could not sell all the goods and then leave the city for him.

It’s impossible not to sell out.

The security inspection machine could see everything clearly. In addition to the lotus root powder, there was also a box of butter. The outside of the butter box was actually emitting a faint chill.

When the two set out this time, they moved the car refrigerator they had obtained earlier onto the helicopter. They had originally moved a small mobile power supply onto the helicopter to charge the electric car battery. This time they moved the car refrigerator up, plugged it in, and put ice cubes and butter inside.

Before setting off when we arrived at the destination, we took out the butter box and put it in the bag, poured the ice cubes into a plastic bag and put it in the backpack. The temperature at noon reached 27 or 28 degrees, and the butter would not melt even if the backpack was against the skin of my back.

When I was almost there, I threw away all the ice and prepared to go through security.

This this this...

The security inspector didn't know what to say when he saw the butter. Zhao Yeqing looked timid and embarrassed. "I found a cool spring in the mountains last night and put the butter in it. Fortunately, it didn't melt."

The city's power supply had been restored a long time ago, and they didn't care whether the butter was cold or not. Based on their established knowledge, they didn't find it strange even if they used a refrigerator.

But this butter is so rare!

Information technology is not so developed now. The leader said that the signal tower is still under construction, and communications will be gradually restored once it is completed. Therefore, there are few new things in the city all day long. When people saw this rare thing, they gathered around it.

I wanted to speak but didn't dare to, so I could only watch the two of them carry their things into the city.

As soon as Zhao Yeqing entered, he kept looking around. Everything was new to him.

The city is actually not much different from before, the only difference is that there are fewer cars, and although the ruins of many collapsed buildings have been cleared away, there are still abandoned and dilapidated foundations left there that have not been rebuilt in time.

Not long after entering the city, you will find the city’s largest People’s Park.

Zhao Yeqing has worked in this city for several years, and he felt very familiar with this free People's Park, but it is very different from before.

The original shrubs and flowers have all turned into lush green vegetables, mostly Chinese cabbage, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, and Chinese cabbage...these are fast-growing or high-yielding.

There were also small flowers blooming in the green belts along the roadside, but they were not ornamental flowers, but densely packed potato plants.

I guess they were planted last year and now it’s almost time to harvest.

The potato plants have tall stems growing above the ground, and now they produce beautiful pink and white flowers that look just as good as the ornamental plants they once were.

This is what farmer Zhao Yeqing sees.

There is a large area of ​​land planted with rapeseed. It is estimated that the people who planned the planting have also taken the spiritual needs of the citizens into consideration. When the rapeseed flowers bloom in a while, the hard-working citizens will be in a good mood when they see them after get off work.

As they walked along, they found that there were shops on the road. Most of the shops had official logos under their signs, while the few individual businesses did not look very healthy.

Mu Xi also noticed this when he came last time. The old lady said, "Everyone with the ability to work has to participate in construction and production. Only those who are injured but can take care of themselves, such as those with a broken leg or a missing hand, and those who have some financial resources at home, can open a shop on their own."

This prosperity is not something that can be achieved simply by having money in the past.

Most of them are rewards given by people in their families who have made special contributions to the city, whether it is talent contribution or material contribution.

There is a shop near the market with a lot of people coming and going. The geographical location is excellent, even better than that of the boss who was doing business before the ground cracked and now has a big stall that Mu Xi saw in the small market last time.

The boss was a healthy man. He would set up a stall in the small market after get off work every day. His work was relatively easy and he could have two days off a week off. He was one of the few people that everyone envied.

As for this shop with an excellent location, the auntie last time said that it was bought in exchange for the money of a person who contributed to the food rations of the entire city.

Zhao Yeqing watched from the doorway, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "This family must have been a big grain producer in the past. In that period, they just gave out the money as they were told. They were very selfless."
