Chapter 180 Leaving
Xu Sichen only took half of each dish and left the other half to the chef.
After that, there was no other sound in the kitchen except the sound of chewing.
Xu Sichen buried himself in the food, enjoying it very much. In the kitchen, the head chef brought a few apprentices to savor this rare delicacy.
Sudden--
"Sister, I knew you were here! Hehehe!" Wei Mingliang ran over and sat down opposite her.
Without Xu Sichen's greeting, he stretched out his two paws and moved towards the roast goose in front of him.
With a "bang", a pair of chopsticks hit the back of his hand directly.
Xu Sichen: "Have you washed your paws?"
"I'll go wash it now!" Wei Mingliang ran away with a smile, and soon ran back. Without waiting to sit down, he tore off a goose wing and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Mmm, great, so great!" Wei Mingliang's mouth was full, but he kept giving thumbs up to the chef.
The head chef said with a smile, "It's all because of the good ingredients provided by the base commander. I've been a chef for so many years and have handled countless ingredients, but I've never seen poultry with such plump meat."
It is no exaggeration to say that there is not even a trace of fishy smell on the chickens, ducks and geese.
Not surprisingly, the brother and sister both ate too much because they couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.
Not long after, the people at the base saw two people walking around the base with a cup of yogurt each to help digestion.
Xu Sichen: "Have you found the salesperson at the canteen?"
Wei Mingliang: "Yes, I found them. They are two people from the rescue team. One lost a hand and the other injured an eye while rescuing someone. They may not be qualified for the job of security guard, but they are enough for the job of canteen salesperson. I will help them familiarize themselves with the job content during the day today."
Xu Sichen: "What about the warehouse? The amount of materials coming in and out every day is quite large, so you still need to get started as soon as possible."
Wei Mingliang burped and raised his hand to assure, "Yes, I'll go take inventory of the supplies in Warehouse No. 1 in a moment. It will be done in two days at most."
Warehouse No. 1 is the newly built large warehouse, Warehouse No. 2 is the hospital’s exclusive warehouse, and the remaining police warehouse is Warehouse No. 3.
This is a number that Wei Mingliang came up with for convenience.
I don't know if it was because he started counting goods in the canteen that completely opened up his talent for organizing goods, making him very adept at managing the warehouse.
The two of them were walking and chatting, and when they arrived near the gate of the base, they heard a noisy sound.
There were a lot of people gathered at the gate, including ordinary residents and armed guards.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Sichen went up to the second floor of the service hall next to the gatehouse. He grabbed Chen Youhui, who was leaning against the window watching the excitement, and asked, "What's going on? What's the commotion outside?"
"Captain, what are you doing here?" Chen Youhui quickly gave up his prime spot when he saw Xu Sichen. He then said, "It's the group of people who caused trouble earlier and were blacklisted by the base. They're arguing with their family members who came into the base. Captain Wang is here, so nothing will happen."
The subtext is that the base commander doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters, so he should go back and rest.
After Xu Sichen said "hmm", he not only did not leave, but also adjusted himself to a comfortable posture and looked outside.
I saw that several simple shacks had been built at the base of the wall, which was originally empty. They were all made of paper boxes picked up from outside.
I guess after being blocked out by the foundation, they had nowhere to go, so they found a temporary residence.
Seeing the relish on the base commander's face, Chen Youhui showed a kind smile.
Hey, he's just a kid in his early twenties after all.
It is human nature to love to join in the fun and listen to gossip, and the base commander is no exception.
At this moment, it was extremely noisy outside the base. Some people were cursing, some were crying, some were begging, and some were swearing. It was like a live drama.
"Damn it, what's this about redeeming yourself? They just want us to work for them for free. I'd be a fool to let them fool me."
"That's right. We've been carrying bricks for them for two days, and not only have we not been paid, we haven't even been given food or water. Even if they treat us like animals, they should at least give us some grass."
The two men put one hand on their hips, pointed ahead with the other, and spit flew everywhere.
Xu Sichen felt that the two looked familiar. Weren’t they the two who took the lead in demanding the house?
Chen Youhui sighed, "Alas, it's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. I heard Captain Wang say that as long as this newcomer cleans up his act and works diligently on the construction site for a month or so, they'll be allowed back into the base. But after just two days, his true colors have been revealed."
Xu Sichen remembered this incident. Wang Anjun had mentioned it to her before. It happened when the families of those people were cleaning up the surrounding rubble. Some of them felt sorry for their families and joined the crowd moving bricks.
Seeing this, Wang Junan felt that this was a chance for them to redeem themselves. If they performed well, he would give them the opportunity to live in the base.
But only a few people within their group knew about this and it was not announced to everyone.
After all, working for a purpose is not self-reflection. This kind of conscious atonement is the true great good.
But human hearts have never been able to withstand the test. In just two days, some people couldn't stand it anymore.
"You bastard, what are you talking about? You did something wrong and you still think you're right!" An old man rushed out from the crowd angrily and raised his hand to give the man who was talking the loudest a beating.
The old man was wearing a safety helmet on his head and a white towel around his neck. It was obvious that he had hurried over from the construction site.
"You said the base didn't give you food or water and made you work for nothing. Didn't I give you food or water?"
"Who are we working so hard at the construction site every day, your mother, your wife, and our two kids? Isn't it just to wait for you to come in and reunite with us?"
The man felt a little ashamed of his father's words, but he quickly refuted them: "Dad, I know you're good to me, but that talk of redemption is a lie. They just want to exploit us, eat our flesh and drink our blood."
"Dad, have you heard of the Haichuan base? They're recruiting people there. I want to go there. Call mom and the others out, and let's go together."
"The head of the Haichuan base was once a big shot in the financial world, and it was one of the earliest bases built in Jiangcheng. It must be better than this place!"
As they were talking, two ladies, one old and one young, came running over with their two children.
The man immediately stepped forward and pulled the young woman's person, saying excitedly, "Xiaojia, you've come just in time. Let's go to Haichuan Base as a family and leave this base where people are eaten without leaving any bones."
