In the blink of an eye, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen have been at the warehouse for three days.
These past few days, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen visited the nearby rescue bases together.
To be honest, it wasn't much different from my previous life. A group of people lined up to receive supplies, but the amount of supplies was very small, only enough for one person to live on for a day. There were also many people lurking around, specifically to steal the supplies that the residents received.
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen queued for ages before receiving their supplies. Before they had even taken 100 steps, they were spotted by other people.
"This mountain is mine, this tree is mine, if you want to pass, leave your supplies behind!" Ye Ning was speechless. What era is this? There are still such old-fashioned words.
"Give me, keep, keep the supplies, keep them..." Before the bald man could finish speaking, Xiao Jingchen kicked him aside.
That day, Ye Ning suddenly heard some news: in response to the federal government's call, Xinyuan Group had dispatched an icebreaker to participate in the rescue and held a grand donation ceremony.
Icebreakers are used specifically to break up solid ice at sea.
However, this icebreaker is different from traditional icebreakers. Xinyuan Group has modified it to make it well-suited for fishing in the water.
In her past life, Xinyuan Group wasn't so kind. It seems that something happened in this life that Ye Ning doesn't know about, and that someone made a deal with Xinyuan Group.
However, none of this mattered to Ye Ning; she could simply watch the show.
"Jingchen, let's go see the icebreaker together!" In my previous life, the coastal area of City A was basically controlled by Xinyuan Group. They used icebreakers day and night to fish at sea and then established seafood trading markets to control the entire City A.
"Okay!" Xiao Jingchen nodded.
The donation ceremony was held on the easternmost coast of City A.
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen had been here before, and their purpose last time was to steal goods from Xinyuan Group.
The donation ceremony hadn't even started yet, but the shoreline was already crowded with residents watching the spectacle.
The towering icebreaker is now moored on the shore, resembling a stranded whale, its metal gleaming in the sunlight.
"Can this ship really break through the ice?"
"I heard you can also catch fish there, but I don't know if it's true or not!"
"So what if it's true? So what if it's false? It's so cold, who knows if there are even any fish in the sea!"
"It can't be without it! The sea is so deep."
"Who knows? Let's wait and see!"
The surrounding residents were discussing it.
Amidst great anticipation, the head of Xinyuan Group finally appeared. To everyone's surprise, the head of Xinyuan Group was a young and handsome man. He wore a well-tailored casual suit and slowly walked onto the stage.
On the other side, the head of the federal government also stepped onto the platform.
"Thank you all so much for participating in the donation ceremony of our Xinyuan Group. Since the extreme cold began, our Xinyuan Group... is now able to donate this icebreaker in the hope that it will help the Federation overcome the difficulties together!" This person was the second son of the chairman of Xinyuan Group.
Then came the speech from the federal representative.
After both sides finished their speeches, the most important part, the ribbon-cutting ceremony, began.
After all the elaborate ceremonies were over, it was finally time for the icebreaker to set sail.
Amid the anticipation of tens of thousands of people, the icebreaker slowly glided into the water.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Under the pressure of the icebreaker's gravity, it made a creaking sound, and then the ice surface shattered completely, and the icebreaker landed on the sea.
The icebreaker glided slowly forward, shattering the ice into pieces wherever it went.
As the icebreaker gradually slid into the deep sea, the sailors on board sprang into action, continuously casting fishing nets.
Ten minutes later, the first batch of fishing nets was raised, and it was filled with seafood, weighing at least a thousand pounds.
"Ah! We're saved! We're finally saved!" Tens of thousands of people gathered on the sea cheered at the same time.
Although Ye Ning had traded seafood in markets controlled by Xinyuan Group in her previous life, this was the first time she had ever seen an icebreaker being salvaged up close.
"Jingchen, I remember there was an icebreaker among the goods we received, right?" Ye Ning whispered in Xiao Jingchen's ear.
"Indeed, there are, but it's not advisable for us to confront the Xinyuan Group head-on right now. The technology involved in shipbuilding is too complex; we might not be able to manufacture them," Xiao Jingchen replied in a low voice.
"Jingchen, why did Xinyuan Group willingly hand over the icebreaker? Is there some kind of conspiracy?"
"I don't know, maybe it's to win people over!" Xiao Jingchen replied without hesitation.
The icebreaker kept casting its nets, and soon, thousands of kilograms of fish were hauled up.
This further strengthened the confidence of those around them.
Xinyuan Group's plan is to send about one-third of the seafood to the Federal side every day, and sell the rest at the seafood market.
Seeing that there was nothing interesting about it, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen withdrew from the crowd. Although she found the icebreaker ship quite interesting, she had already seen it in her previous life.
"Jingchen, do you still remember that oilfish from your past life?" Ye Ning asked, her eyes sparkling.
"Of course I remember! I remember you used to love eating this oily fish! What? Do you want to catch some to take home?" Xiao looked at Ye Ning with affection.
"Okay!" Ye Ning nodded.
As a staunch henpecked husband, he wholeheartedly agrees with whatever his wife says or does.
In fact, Ye Ning liked to eat oilfish in her previous life because the fish meat is high in fat, which can produce a high feeling of fullness, and the fish meat is tender and delicious.
If she had to say what her favorite food is, Ye Ning would definitely love eating prawns and lobsters the most.
"Alright! Let's go to the seafood market tomorrow and exchange some seafood! You little glutton." Xiao Jingchen took Ye Ning's hand.
"Then we need to get more, including other seafood besides fish and shrimp."
Since we're going to stock up on seafood, let's stock up on a lot at once.
Anyway, Ye Ning has as much instant noodles as she wants.
Ye Ning excitedly ran back to the warehouse and told Gao Feng and Sister Li to quickly clear out half of the ice storage space to store the seafood they had acquired.
"Miss, why the rush?" Gao Feng was a little puzzled. Those supplies could have been left outdoors; the temperature was so low that they wouldn't spoil for a year or two.
"Uncle Gao, you don't need to worry about all that! Just do as I say!"
Ye Ning turned around and went back to her room, where she began to study the map. She decided it would be best to plan her route in advance to avoid any trouble on the way.
