"Wouldn't they stop fishing if I hadn't told them? Haven't they taken enough fish home to eat during this period?"
"You...you! They are only a minority. There are still many people who haven't gone to fish! Once you send out this notice, they will all go to fish in the water. What if they eat the contaminated food and turn into muddy beasts in the future? Can you bear the responsibility?"
"That's why I asked them to bring it back to the base for testing. I just applied for a detector that can detect food contamination. According to the information I got, as long as the contamination rate of the food is less than 40%, it can be eaten!"
"That's a gifted person! What about ordinary people? Ordinary people have poor physical fitness. According to the test, it is best to eat food with a pollution level below 20%!"
"If I can eat it, why can't they?" The man who was speaking picked up the dried insects on the table, put them in his mouth and chewed them hard, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to eat someone.
"You, you, you! You can't eat this!"
"You can eat it! The pollution level is 28%, you can eat it!"
Seeing the gray-haired old man's eyes reddened and his whole body trembling, he softened his tone.
"I know, but this is a base with millions of people. Do you know how much food is consumed every day? Do you know how much food we have in our warehouse? If I don't try to get more food, how can I feed them? Do you know how crazy hungry people are?
Yesterday, those people grabbed the bean cakes and ate them all. Did you know that someone almost died of overeating? And they sent them for testing. The insects are not poisonous, and the contamination level is not too high. Most of them have a contamination level of only 30%. How can this not be a food ingredient? "
Seeing that the old man was too angry to speak, the man stood up and said with a smile:
"Not only will I let the people below eat, I will also let them eat in our staff cafeteria. At noon today, everyone will eat bean cakes, vegetable soup, spicy rotten insects, and white water fish with the people outside. Anyone who dares to leave any will be kicked out tomorrow."
The man said and stood up and walked out.
As long as you can survive, it doesn’t matter what you eat.
Not only does he have to eat, he also has to take the lead in eating.
As soon as the sun went down, countless people came out and lined up in front of the bean cake shop.
They were holding irregularly shaped bowls and chopsticks, and their faces looked as happy as if it was Chinese New Year.
In the kitchen, countless people who usually make bean cakes gathered together, looking at the squirming worms and strange-looking fish with pale faces.
“Is this really edible?”
"Eat! I told you, not only the people outside are eating this today, but even the base commander is eating this. This is also your meal today. If you don't eat it, you'll be hungry."
When they heard that the base commander was also eating, everyone else fell silent.
Since the base commander eats it, then they really have to eat it.
So I just stopped talking and started cooking.
"How did you add the oil? How did you pour so much? Hurry up and share some with the people next to you!"
"Put less salt and chili powder. I tell you, we put so many seasonings on it so that you can use them well. If the people are not satisfied, go home."
"You can't throw away the fish entrails. If they're not poisonous, just steam them together! It's already this late, and you're still so particular?! Hurry and pick them up for me."
In order to ensure that the people had good food and drink, some oil and flour were specially allocated.
The oil is used to fry the insects. We must always proceed step by step, and wait until the people are more receptive to it, then boil them in water.
After frying the insects, add some salt and chili. Just smelling the aroma without looking at the ingredients is enough to make the kids next door cry!
I saw everyone working very enthusiastically.
The chef still felt a little regretful.
Why did the factory get flooded?
It's time to use some technology and survive. It doesn't take much, just a bottle cap. What flavors do you want?
Lamb flavor, beef flavor, chicken flavor, everything is available for you?
What?
You say it's harmful to the body?
Are you kidding? In this kind of environment, the patient might die before he gets sick. Why bother with that?
Just live one day at a time.
The people outside the door were chatting animatedly at first, but soon they smelled the aroma of food.
The taste buds of people who have been eating bean cakes and drinking boiled water for a long time will start to secrete saliva crazily after smelling these irritating flavors.
Someone twitched his nose, "Chili! There is definitely chili, it smells so good!"
"I must eat more later. I'm almost choking to death from eating that bean cake every day!"
As everyone waited anxiously, the time came and the door opened on time.
People rushed in and saw the vegetable soup, spicy rotten worms, and white water fish behind the counter, and they were all silent.
This is completely different from what I imagined.
The vegetable soup did not contain the vegetables they were familiar with, but was inky green. One could vaguely see a few pitiful green leaves floating in the soup spoon. The soup was still sticky, which made people lose their appetite at first glance.
Not to mention the spicy rotten worms, just looking at those worms that look like earthworms makes people feel sick.
The last white water fish made everyone even more silent.
The whole fish was brought up, including its head and body. It actually had many tiny deformed legs hanging down weakly under its body.
The fish's head looked like it had been crushed by a huge truck. Even its eyes were sunken and it was staring at everyone blankly.
It makes me feel scared just looking at it.
The air suddenly became quiet.
The lively atmosphere just now suddenly became dead silent.
“Is this really edible?”
"Are you trying to poison us?! We want to eat normal fish!"
"Not even a dog would eat this!"
"How can it not be delicious?! It's extremely delicious! I'm telling you, if you come too late there may not be enough food!"
When the person in charge saw someone questioning him, he picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of fish meat and put it into his mouth without saying a word.
Chewing like crazy.
The next second, a strong fishy and rotten smell rushed into his head, making him subconsciously want to vomit.
But in front of so many people's suspicious eyes, he forced himself to ignore the discomfort in his mouth and swallowed it down in a few mouthfuls without changing his expression. "It's very delicious. Don't worry, it's completely edible. It just looks ugly. Look, our employees all eat it."
After saying that, he turned around, glared, and desperately winked at the auntie who was serving food behind him.
Eat quickly! If there are any leftovers, pack them up and get out after work!
After understanding the threat from the person in charge, several aunties made up their minds and quickly picked up a piece of spicy rotten worm with chopsticks and stuffed it into their mouths.
He gave a big thumbs up and started to praise, "I'm telling you! Just eat it! This is my specialty! It's so delicious, you won't regret it."
To be honest, if you don't look at it, it's actually acceptable the first time you put it in your mouth. It has oil, salt and pepper, so it can't be too bad.
But as the aunt chewed subconsciously, a smell of moldy peanuts accompanied by a fishy and stinky smell rushed directly to her forehead.
