Chapter 474: Lard Rice
As soon as Han Ying finished speaking, the entire Warehouse No. 3 was in an uproar again.
What did they hear?
A harvesting competition with prizes?
Is it possible to have such motivational activities in the end times?
Originally, they were considered very lucky compared to other people in the base.
With a job in hand, you can earn hundreds of points every week.
Although the food obtained from these points is not enough to feed the family well, at least they will not starve to death.
But they just heard the host Han say that the first place in the competition will be rewarded with 5,000 points, and even team members can get 4,000 points.
4,000 points. It would take them nearly a year to earn that many points.
If we could have so many points, the whole family could go to the mall every day and buy the full quota of food. This way we could not only have enough to eat for a while, but also save a lot.
The weather was so cold that many people were taking small steps and shivering to keep warm.
But at this moment, their faces were all flushed and their blood was boiling, and they couldn't wait to rush to the fields and start harvesting.
"Master Han, if we don't want the points for first place, can we exchange them for meat, food or other things?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties named Hou Deshou. There were seven people in his family. Except for his mother, the other six people worked on the farm.
So their family can receive a lot of points every week, but if they want to exchange these points for food, they have to go to the mall every day to queue up and buy limited food.
They thought it was troublesome. If the reward points could be directly exchanged for food or meat, then he would definitely bring his family and work hard to not only get the first place, but also the top three.
Hou Deshou had a loud voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, many people around him echoed him.
Points are important, but they must eventually be exchanged for food rations.
The base shopping mall has a limited purchase of food rations, so when there are good days, you have to think twice before having a full meal.
"Yes, anything we have on our farm or ranch will do. We can even exchange it for tofu."
This was not a big deal, so Han Ying naturally agreed. However, the price would definitely be higher than that in the mall, otherwise who would go to the base mall to buy in the future?
"Master Han, when does it start? How do we form a team?"
When Han Ying said that the points could be exchanged for food, the crowd became even more excited, and they asked loudly,
"The team formation method is by drawing lots. Everyone should come to Warehouse No. 3 10 minutes early tomorrow morning. You will draw lots here to decide your team members. As for the captain, you will nominate yourselves after the drawing."
"The harvest competition will start tomorrow, and the competition will start when the teams are formed."
A few days ago, when she and Lu Yuan came to the farm to deliver nutrient solution to Professor Li, they heard Professor Li say that a large amount of grain would mature in the next few days.
Most of the senior executives of the entire farm had just been fired, and Han Ying was worried that it would affect the rush to harvest the crops, so she came up with this competition with prizes.
Firstly, this will not delay the rush to harvest crops on the farm and the time for a new round of seedling planting. Secondly, it will also boost morale. After all, this is just such a big thing that happened on the entire farm.
The dozens of vacant management positions can be filled slowly later.
The most important thing at the moment is to harvest the grain.
It was already past the getting off work time, and Han Ying did not waste any more time, allowing everyone to leave the farm and go home.
Why is it that after hearing that they can leave, some people actually don’t want to leave?
Most people are still immersed in the harvesting competition that will take place tomorrow, and they really can't wait to start drawing lots and harvesting now.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan looked at the crowd in the warehouse who were reluctant to leave, and they could only say again, "Go back. Those who come early will draw lots early tomorrow!"
After hearing this, those who were reluctant to leave excitedly left the warehouse with their companions.
The evening was destined to be a busy night.
The idea of rushing to harvest the game was something Han Ying came up with on the spur of the moment, and even deputy host Li Ping had just heard about it.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan only knew that a large amount of grain was ripe on the farm, but they didn't know exactly what it was.
So I guess I'll have to discuss this carefully with Li Ping tonight.
After everyone left, there were only a dozen people left in the warehouse.
These dozen people are all problem-free managers on the farm.
It is already past seven in the evening and it has already become dark.
But no one had eaten yet.
There is a cafeteria in the farm. Professor Li has said that everyone working on the farm will be provided with a meal at noon.
Of course, it also includes the ranch and tofu workshop.
The food is not that good. There are two choices: a big bowl of hot multi-grain porridge with some pickles.
Pickles are made from the leaves and edible branches of harvested crops on the farm.
For example, sweet potato vines, tomato leaves, corn leaves, etc. can be crushed and pickled with salt.
If you don't want multi-grain porridge and pickles, you can choose to order three pieces of coarse cakes. The farm provides free boiled water.
Although the free meal at noon was not very good, it was the only meal of the day that many people could eat in this end times.
Since there was a canteen in the farm, Han Ying and Lu Yuan went to the farm canteen to eat with others.
Farms are usually closed at night because it is too cold.
But the situation today is special, so we were specifically told to wait an extra hour in the cafeteria.
It was the bosses, Han Ying and Lu Yuan, who asked me to stay and work overtime, so of course I had to treat them to a meal.
There are good ingredients in the canteens, but the staff there do not have the right to cook them.
Because some of these are used by farm managers for their own private cooking, and some are used to entertain visitors to the base.
Han Ying asked someone to pick a large basket of sweet potato leaves and two baskets of corn, and then took out a large piece of fat meat from the canteen refrigerator.
I asked the people in the cafeteria to use the oil and residue from the fat to make two large pots of rice with residue, sweet potato leaves and miscellaneous grains.
Guessing that Liu Hefeng and the others must not have eaten yet, Han Ying called them and asked them to come to the cafeteria for dinner.
Since they decided to follow Han Ying and Lu Yuan and stay on the farm, the entire company moved directly into the house on the farm.
So 120 people came quite quickly.
The corn was also cooked, and everyone ate two large bowls of sweet potato leaves and grain rice and a corn with the cooking water.
Lard tends to clump in such cold weather, so more than a hundred people, including Liu Hefeng's company, gathered around the stoves and big pots in the cafeteria and wolfed down the lard.
While eating, he didn't forget to mutter, "It smells so good."
Even Li Ping, the deputy farm owner, felt a little unsatisfied after eating the greasy and rich mixed grain rice.
The soldiers had limited living conditions and could only eat greasy and meaty food a few times a year.
So when several soldiers saw the pieces of lard in the bowl, they tasted them bit by bit, chewing them in their mouths until they had no taste before swallowing them.
