"Hehe, old man, as we just said, as long as you can help us with our business, I'll give you as much instant noodles as you want," Chen Yu said with a smile.
As he spoke, he took a brand-new bucket of instant noodles from the roof of the car and handed it to the old man: "Can I exchange this for the bucket of instant noodles that's frozen in your hand?"
Seeing this, the old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and reluctantly handed the "treasure" in his hand to Chen Yu. At the same time, he took the unopened bucket of instant noodles from Chen Yu's hand and hugged it tightly to his chest, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away from him.
Chen Yu shook his head with a wry smile. Then, he threw the bucket of instant noodles, frozen solid, onto the snow and stomped on it hard.
"Spoiled food should be disposed of as garbage," Chen Yu said calmly.
Although his foot hurt a little from the impact, he remained calm.
He didn't do this out of boredom.
Instead, this gesture demonstrated a decisive and responsible attitude to the residents in the surrounding buildings, while also conveying an important message: the "anti-cold disaster relief militia" has no shortage of food.
"I knew it, I knew the country wouldn't abandon us..." The old man was so moved by Chen Yu's actions that he burst into tears.
Chen Yu patted the other person on the shoulder and laughed, "Instant noodles will be available, rice will be available too. As long as you work with us, you won't have any problem eating meat."
"Commander, please give me any orders. I'm willing to do anything for the country!" The old man interrupted Chen Yu excitedly, his eyes shining with determination.
He straightened his back, as if he had become ten years younger, and that hope and confidence for the future returned to his heart.
"Good, good, good. I knew it. The people of my Great Xia are the most resilient, grateful and dedicated." Chen Yu said with satisfaction, then instructed Qiao Meng, "Qiao, register him first."
In the distance, several more figures, walking with unsteady steps, cautiously approached this direction.
Chen Yu quickly called out to them, "Fellow villagers, come over here, I've prepared some free food for you."
Upon hearing this, the group no longer hesitated and quickly walked over.
Chen Yu instructed Lin Lele to boil water and make a bucket of instant noodles for everyone.
Sitting in the makeshift shed, he chatted with everyone about everyday life, his words full of the organization's care for them. He quickly gained everyone's trust, and they were all moved to tears, expressing their willingness to assist the organization in fighting the cold and providing disaster relief.
Chen Yu looked pleased and asked Qiao Meng to register everyone's information. He also gave each person an extra two buckets of instant noodles and two kilograms of rice.
Over the next two hours, more than 20 people from the town came to the central square and joined Chen Yu's "anti-cold disaster relief militia".
Seeing that it was getting late and no other residents had come to register, Chen Yu told Qiao Meng to stop shouting.
Next, the 31 registered people were gathered together.
These people included people of all ages and genders, ranging from over 60-year-old seniors to 15- or 16-year-old teenagers.
However, Chen Yu did not find fault with them, since he only asked these people to help him find people and explore the way, and he did not have high requirements.
Moreover, the wages are paid daily, so even if something happens to them on the road, he will not suffer any loss.
At this moment, everyone was quite uneasy when they saw Chen Yu gather them together. They knew that their leader was going to assign them a task.
In the face of such extreme cold and natural disasters that seem to stretch endlessly, food is the most precious resource, representing life itself!
Chen Yu's willingness to share so much food with them must have been for a reason, and it was impossible for them not to be nervous at that moment.
"Hehe, everyone, don't be nervous, relax," Chen Yu said with a smile, reassuring everyone.
"The devastating cold has distorted humanity and eroded morality. This natural disaster has presented our nation and people with unprecedented challenges. But it is precisely in these difficult times that our nation's resilience and indomitable spirit have been forged. We must not only overcome natural disasters, but also prevent sabotage by evil forces both within and outside our borders. At this critical juncture for our nation's survival, our 'Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia' must step forward to safeguard the safety of this land and its people!"
Chen Yu's gaze swept over everyone present. His voice was steady and powerful, as if it could penetrate the cold wind and reach the hearts of people.
The crowd was deeply moved and couldn't help but clap and cheer.
"Sir, please give us any orders you may have! We'll risk our lives without complaint!"
"Commander, since we are tasked with fighting the cold and providing disaster relief, I think we should first clear the snow off the ground so that we can plant crops."
"Yes, crops are the foundation of everything. As long as we can continuously produce food from the land, this natural disaster cannot harm us!"
…………
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Chen Yu gestured for everyone to be quiet, then said in a deep voice, "Nature is ruthless and beyond human control. Brute force to fight disasters will only bring unnecessary sacrifices! Moreover, in this kind of extremely cold weather, even if the snow is cleared away, it is impossible to grow any crops."
"We need scientific disaster relief!"
At this point, Chen Yu paused, his face grave, and said, "However, our scientists are now scattered in various corners of the world. They may freeze to death, starve to death, or be persecuted at any time! The organization needs you to help me get them to a safe place as much as possible."
“Sir, I know of a research and production unit nearby with many outstanding researchers!” A middle-aged man stood up and said.
"Yes, very good. As long as you can bring them here, I will reward you handsomely." Chen Yu nodded.
Next, Chen Yu explained the reward conditions to everyone in detail.
In addition to the daily fixed salary of 2 jin of rice, you can receive 2 jin of rice from Chen Yu for each outstanding researcher you bring back.
One expert/professor corresponds to 20 jin of rice plus 2 buckets of instant noodles;
A scientist who has achieved remarkable results in the relevant industry, 50 kilograms of rice, 30 kilograms of flour and 3 kilograms of pork;
National-level science and technology leaders can exchange their achievements for 100 jin of rice, 50 jin of flour, 5 jin of pork, and 5 jin of beef.
Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences can exchange their earnings for 200 jin of rice, 100 jin of flour, 10 jin of pork, 10 jin of beef, or 10 jin of mutton.
In addition, Chen Yu also offered corresponding rewards for finding large-scale scientific research equipment.
Hearing Chen Yu's generous offer, everyone was tempted. Such a large reward could sustain them for years with just a few successful heists! Who wouldn't be tempted?
Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Yu was also very satisfied.
He has put forward the conditions; as for how to bring those people over, that is not his concern.
