Chapter 129 Cumin Pork Slices
"Residents of the inner area, please go downstairs to get your meals!"
"Residents of the inner area, please go downstairs to get your meals!"
Does this base also provide meals?
Annan put on his clothes and walked downstairs, where he ran into Gu Zhiyu.
The two nodded to each other as a greeting, then walked to the door together and looked outside.
I saw several middle-aged women loading up their own food carts and delivering food door to door.
Soon, it was delivered to their building. The old lady quickly followed the list in her hand, picked out two small rice buckets, and handed them to them:
"There are only two of you in this building, right?"
Annan nodded, took the meal from her hand and asked her curiously.
"Auntie, do we get meals here every day?"
The aunt was sweating profusely. She said "hmm" and was eager to leave.
The weather was hot, and they had to push such a heavy food cart from door to door, which was really hard work.
Seeing that she had no patience, Annan took out a chocolate from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
The old lady's expression changed immediately. She looked around and seeing that no one was paying attention, she happily put the chocolate into her pocket.
"You are such a beautiful and sensible little girl."
As she said this, she glanced at Gu Zhiyu and said, "My boyfriend is handsome too."
Boy friend?
Annan was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at the man next to him.
Gu Zhiyu curled the corners of his mouth, reached out and took the two little eaters from Annan's hands without saying a word.
Annan didn't have the time to explain her relationship with Gu Zhiyu to a stranger, so she took advantage of her aunt's good mood and continued to ask:
"Auntie, I'm new here and I don't know anything. How many times a day does our base deliver meals?"
The mother spoke more this time, and patiently answered her question:
"Just once. Now is different from before the natural disaster. Human and material resources are limited. Only once a day at dawn will they deliver the day's meals.
But don’t worry, although it’s only delivered once, the quantity is large, enough for an adult male to have two meals. And the dishes are good too, today’s is cumin pork slices with rice!”
Cumin pork slices with rice?
Annan was shocked.
She thought there would be at most some steamed buns and potatoes in there, but it turned out to be hot rice and hot dishes?
Since entering the apocalypse, except for her who relies on the space and can eat meals every day, it has been a long time since anyone else has had meals to eat.
They all rely on simple dry food or fast food to fill their stomachs. They fight over a pack of noodles.
Meat, seasonings, and fuel for the fire are all extremely precious supplies.
It is not easy to eat a plate of cumin pork slices.
No wonder so many people would rather hand over ten kilograms of food than join in.
This base is like two completely different worlds inside and outside!
No wonder those two armed bodyguards were so loyal yesterday, praising their leader every three sentences.
With such welfare benefits, no one would not be devoted to it!
Annan asked again: "Is it the same for the residents in the outer circle?"
The grandmother waved her hands and said, "How can that be possible! Home delivery is a special treatment for you inner-city residents. The outer-city residents are eating mixed grain porridge today, and they have to queue up to get it."
She said with a smile: "The leaders value you, and we in the kitchen will also enjoy the benefits with you!"
Although they also drink porridge, a little bit of the dishes cooked for these inner-city residents every day can be left over to add a fishy flavor to their porridge.
As he spoke, he handed over two 1L bottles of water.
"I almost forgot that I haven't given you any water yet. Here, one bottle for each of you."
Annan took the water and took a look. The bottle had been opened, but the water inside was full and a little turbid.
It should be the water that was collected from empty bottles and filled into them.
Sure enough, the aunt instructed: "Don't throw away the bottles. When you deliver the food the next day, both the rice bucket and the water bottle must be recycled."
Annan: "Okay. Does our base have water supply every day?"
Seeing the old lady nod, she asked again: "I see that the supermarkets and warehouses outside have been emptied. Where can we get so much water?"
The mother smiled and said, "It's not a secret. You just got here and don't know it. We have a well in our base."
well?
Annan asked: "Why is there a well in the villa area?"
How come she didn’t see it when she was wandering around yesterday?
"It's not in the villa area. It's near the base. It belongs to our base."
As she spoke, the mother pointed to a villa not far away:
"The old man of that family knows how to find water sources. He led people to dig a well for our base. It is said that he is planning to dig a few more wells recently!"
Annan nodded.
Sure enough, those who can live in the inner circle villas all have some abilities.
She then asked, "Are the food for the first and second in command also the same as ours, waiting for you to prepare and deliver it to them every day?"
The eldest mother shook her head and said, "We are not needed. The eldest master has a special chef who cooks for the two masters in his villa."
Annan smiled and said, "That's right, as a leader, how can he eat the same food as us?"
It seems that starting with diet won’t work.
Hou Jianming was really cautious and didn't leave any loopholes for the enemy.
The degree of his evilness was even worse than that of Sun Peng. Apart from a few trusted aides, almost no one could get close to him.
It is really difficult to take action with such a shrewd person around Zhu Dazhuang.
The aunt chatted with her for a while, then pushed the food cart to the next restaurant in a hurry.
Annan said goodbye to Gu Zhiyu and went upstairs with the food and water.
Back in the room, she curiously opened the rice bucket and took a look at the rice inside.
It's really cumin pork slices.
There was still a lot of meat, but if you looked closely it didn't look like pork or beef.
When I smelled it, there was a faint sour smell, but it was masked by the aroma of cumin and was not very obvious.
The rice below was not rice, nor was it the mixed-grain rice she usually ate. It looked like any kind of rice was mixed together and cooked.
I guess there are both good rice and moldy rice.
She definitely would not eat the things sent from outside. She just looked at them curiously and poured them into a plastic bag and put them away.
The water was not wasted and was used directly for mopping the floor.
After mopping the floor, Annan simply cooked a bowl of noodles for himself and poured some food for Fugui. Just as he was about to start eating, there was a knock on the door.
It is Gu Zhiyu.
Standing at the door with a height of about 1.8 meters, her cool breath seemed to keep all the heat out of the door. She held two small bowls in her slender hands and asked Annan:
"Did you eat the food they brought?"
Annan thought about it and told the truth: "I haven't eaten yet, what's wrong?"
Gu Zhiyu stuffed two bowls into her hands: "Don't eat anymore, eat this. You and..."
He looked down at the dog that was wagging its tail and clawing at his legs: "...Fugui, one for each of you."
Fugui let out an excited “ooh”.
