Chapter 472 Teaching the Newcomers
To go to Bisongling, you need to pass through Jincheng first.
Xia Xiaoman and his team had been to Jincheng before, so they knew which route was safer. In order not to waste time, Xia Xiaoman asked them to hurry up and survey the terrain after they passed Jincheng.
After a day of standing guard and patrolling, Xia Xiaoman returned to the cabin tired.
As soon as she entered the cabin, she noticed that the atmosphere in the cabin was not right. The three newly recruited people and Xiao Zheyu and his men were on edge, and it seemed that they were about to fight in the next second.
Xia Xiaoman took off her oxygen mask and asked, "What are you doing? Are you looking for a fight because you have nothing to do?"
When Xiao Zheyu saw Xia Xiaoman coming over, he started to complain as if he had found someone to back him up. "These people's food is awful and they don't allow us to say anything. They act like they are so powerful. Sister Xiaoman, look at these dishes. Are they edible? During the famine, the porridge cooked in the official cafeteria was 10,000 times more delicious than this."
This time, Xiao Zheyu was not the one who was causing trouble. The dishes on the table were really not very good. Dried vegetables, potatoes, fish, green beans, etc. were all stewed together without being cut. It looked no different from pig food.
Xia Xiaoman glanced at the dishes in the basin and asked, "Who made this basin of dishes?"
The three recruits were silent. Xia Xiaoman said calmly, "Lu Zhiqiang, Fang Shaowen, and Wang Yiyong will do 30 weighted frog jumps around the ship and stand upside down for an hour. Xiao Zheyu, watch them do the frog jumps."
"Okay!" Xiao Zheyu showed a gloating smile to Lu Zhiqiang and the other two, "Let's go, everyone!"
Lu Zhiqiang refused to accept the decision and threw the rag on the table. "We have already finished our work. Why are you punishing us?"
Xia Xiaoman said coldly: "Just because you guys waste food. There are so many people in the underground city who can't eat fish, but you cook the fish like this. Do you think the fish cooked like this is edible?"
"If you don't want to work, you can leave at any time. Our fleet doesn't need you guys. Now that the ship has not left the floating city, you can jump into the water and swim back by yourselves!"
Lu Zhiqiang and his companions also realized that what they did was inappropriate, and their faces turned red. But they were still unconvinced, "We came to the fleet to find mines, not to be chefs here!"
Xia Xiaoman knew that these newcomers would be unhappy to be assigned to the logistics department, but she didn't get angry when she heard this. She smiled and said, "You don't want to stay in the logistics department, right? No problem. As long as your ability is better than anyone in the fleet, I will transfer you out of the logistics department."
Lu Zhiqiang couldn’t believe it, “Are you telling the truth?”
"Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Xiao Zheyu, call all the people in the fleet to the deck and have some fun with these newcomers."
When Xiao Zheyu heard what Xia Xiaoman said, he wanted to watch the fun, so he called everyone over. Even Chen Peiqiong, who was drying clothes, was pulled out to watch the fun.
When Chen Peiqiong saw Lu Zhiqiang and others standing side by side on the deck, she knew that these people did not listen to her advice and caused trouble, and she held her forehead with a headache.
When everyone arrived on the deck, Xia Xiaoman asked Lu Zhiqiang to pick someone, "You can pick anyone. As long as you can beat him, I will transfer you out of the logistics department and replace him with someone else."
When Lu Zhiqiang heard this, he immediately raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Zheyu. This ugly guy dared to complain that his cooking was bad, so he should go in instead.
Xiao Zheyu saw Lu Zhiqiang pointing at him, moved his wrist joints, and walked out of the crowd, "Tell me! How do you want to compete?"
"Let's fight and see who gets knocked to the ground first." Before Lu Zhiqiang finished speaking, Xiao Zheyu threw the first punch. Lu Zhiqiang barely dodged it and then yelled, "Fuck you, I haven't even called the start yet, you're breaking the rules!"
Xiao Zheyu did not argue, and focused on attacking Lu Zhiqiang. When facing danger, no one would call for action or follow the rules. Xiao Zheyu attacked ruthlessly, treating Lu Zhiqiang as an enemy, and his moves were deadly.
At first, Lu Zhiqiang thought it was just a sparring match between teammates, but later he was forced to use his killer move. But he had already missed the opportunity, and soon, he was kicked out by Xiao Zheyu and almost kicked off the boat, but Maodan was fast and jumped up and kicked him back.
Xia Xiaoman walked up to Lu Zhiqiang and asked, "Can you do your logistics work now?"
Lu Zhiqiang covered his aching chest, dejected and silent. Xia Xiaoman looked at the other person, "Fang Shaowen, it's your turn. Who do you want to fight?"
Fang Shaowen had already realized that the crew members on the ship were not simple, so he did not dare to pick his opponents easily. He looked at the people standing on the deck, thought for a moment, and pointed his finger at Ye Xiaojie, who looked thinner.
Xia Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. This guy really knows how to choose. "Xiaojie, be gentle. Don't cripple him. We'll need him to cook again later."
When Fang Shaowen heard this, he knew that he had chosen the wrong person, but now there was no room for regret and he could only do his best.
In less than five minutes, accompanied by a few screams, Fang Shaowen was thrown into the water by Ye Xiaojie, and even Maodan didn't have time to stop him.
After pulling Fang Shaowen out of the water, Xia Xiaoman looked at the last person, "Wang Yiyong, what about you? Who do you choose?"
Wang Yiyong pointed directly at Luo Menglin, who looked more gentle. Xia Xiaoman said, "Luo Menglin is the team doctor. Are you sure you want to compete with him?"
Wang Yiyong nodded with some guilt. It was somewhat unethical to bully a team doctor, but he really didn't want to stay in logistics.
Xia Xiaoman shrugged, "Then I wish you good luck!"
Wang Yiyong walked up to Luo Menglin, clasped his fists and said, "Sorry, I owe you this time..."
Before he could finish his words, Luo Menglin sprinkled a handful of powder on Wang Yiyong, and his eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.
Xiao Zheyu gloated and kicked him twice, "I told you that Sister Menglin is the team doctor, but you still dare to look down on Sister Menglin, you deserve it!"
Xia Xiaoman said, "Menglin, wake him up and ask them to cook again."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu'e asked: "What about the food we just cooked? It would seem a waste if we throw it away." They have all experienced famine and cannot bear to see food wasted.
Xia Xiaoman pointed at Lu Zhiqiang and the others, "Of course the food they cooked is for them to eat. From now on, they will eat these dishes for three meals a day. Only when they have finished eating these dishes can they eat normal meals."
When Lu Zhiqiang heard about the catch, his face instantly turned pale, "There are so many, how can the three of us finish them all? They will go bad in two days."
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a space. These meals will not go bad if they are placed in the space."
Lu Zhiqiang: “…” If I had known this earlier, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
