Chapter 804 Rumors before the Migration
This pungent odor is enough to make people vomit, and it is mixed with the aroma of rice, which makes people wonder if there is something wrong with their nose. However, in order to compensate the people in the Banana Community for the torture they suffered for half a month, and the resentful look of Wang Qiqi after he was promoted to director, Jingshu gave the Banana Community a 40% discount on insect cakes and synthetic meat.
Of course, each person could only buy ten, but even so, the Banana Community was as joyful as if it were Chinese New Year. You know, food in the apocalypse never gets discounted. Suddenly, every household was rushing to buy insect cakes by facial recognition. Those with money bought synthetic meat, and those with extra would freeze it. When they were hungry, they'd thaw it in the water room and have another meal. Many people, having tasted synthetic meat for the first time, felt like they were finally eating real meat after all these years of the apocalypse!
“It smells like meat!”
"So this is what meat tastes like..."
Having said that.
Afternoon tea was Jingshu's own snack. No need to overthink it; it was all Jingshu's own creations, made in her own private space. After learning various marinating techniques, she'd come up with a variety of fried, breaded meat snacks. A snack platter was a must, right? Onion rings, squid rings, Orleans grilled wings, spicy ribs, pan-fried fish, popcorn chicken, salt and pepper crispy pork, fried chicken legs, and so on.
I also made some Cantonese snacks and refreshments according to the recipe, such as tiger skin chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, etc.
Jingshu has prepared various cakes and desserts, and as for snacks... Jingshu has prepared various coffees, black tea, green tea, milk tea, etc., and of course, health-preserving homemade lotus root powder, red bean and barley milk, etc.
Jingshu even packed the ingredients neatly in boxes, filling several cubic meters with transparent boxes containing freshly made meat floss, raisins, dried fruits, oatmeal, pearls she made herself, taro balls, coconut flakes, Oreo crumbs, etc.
Jingshu especially missed the Oreo tornado ice cream, Oreo milk cap, cookies, etc. before the apocalypse, so this Oreo was made by herself with great difficulty, and the recipe was learned from the encyclopedia: the main ingredient, cocoa beans, were first planted, and then the cocoa beans were fermented, cleaned, roasted at high temperature, the kernels and shells separated, coarsely ground and pressed, and finally made into cocoa powder.
Refined butter, coconut oil is extracted from cultivated coconuts, vanilla extract is extracted from vanilla pods, and the rest of the ingredients are either existing or simply missing. After baking it badly several times, it was finally made to taste roughly the same as before the apocalypse.
Only then did Jingshu sigh at the convenience of life before the end of the world. The ingredients of any small thing were synthesized and transformed through countless ingredients.
Jingshu began to cherish food even more, and loved the various foods that became extinct after the apocalypse, because life had returned to its original state. Fortunately, Jingshu had no shortage of raw materials, so she was able to create so many advanced food products.
Jingshu has such a complete range of ingredients that she can easily open a coffee or milk tea shop. These ingredients can be added to milk tea or lotus root powder, or some liquid food, and are especially good as snacks.
But Jingshu also knew that further processing of food was no longer possible. Now it had already reached the extreme. Making some purely natural food was fine. As the things purchased before the end of the world were used up little by little, most families began to make their own. Take the chicken essence for example. Old Jing's family also learned from the Internet and used something made from chicken breast, dried mushrooms and dried shrimps to replace chicken essence.
In fact, as long as we can find a substitute, it will be fine. What we are afraid of is that those who cannot find a substitute will feel when they really need to use it: It is really inconvenient to survive in this doomsday!
After Jingshu prepared all kinds of ingredients at home, the whole Wucheng finally slowly released some news.
"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. I have a relative who works at the town government, and they say we're going to have to relocate people in Wucheng!"
"What? Migrate? Migrate where? Why do we have to migrate?"
"Haven't you noticed it's getting colder? The snow's getting heavier? Of course we're moving south. Anyway, you still have to prepare. Quietly stock up on food and warm clothing."
"I have a friend who knows someone in the town, and I heard they're going to relocate..."
"I also have friends who know people in the town government. I heard about this, but I won't leave. There is no transportation now. The train has broken the track long ago. How many people can the plane carry? The car is on the road.
"It's so snowy that we can't even walk. How are we supposed to go? Are we going to walk? We'll all die on the way!"
"I won't leave either. I'll die sooner or later, and I don't want to die of exhaustion."
"Lei Zi's family are all regular workers. I heard that they have transportation for the migration. What should we do if we are not regular workers?"
Rumors spread like wildfire, often beginning with the phrase: "Don't tell anyone." This phrase often spread faster and faster, sending ripples through Wucheng, leaving many feeling uneasy.
More people are considering their own immediate interests and what to do next for themselves and their families.
Jingshu knew that Jun Bao was doing market research, and no one could know the news that the town government really wanted to keep secret.
What you know is what the higher-ups want you to know. Public opinion has been extremely important since ancient times. Whoever can control public opinion can control people's hearts.
Jun Bao seems to be such a person, he can guide public opinion.
The news was finally released. Jingshu had informed her uncle and aunt's family beforehand and asked them to make preparations early. Now they were not very surprised, but they were also very worried. What should they do next?
If there is no other way, who would be willing to leave this land that provides shelter from the wind and rain?
Instead, all units have begun to become turbulent. This concerns the iron rice bowls of these formal workers. What will they do if they migrate?
Look, even Jingshu, the idle vice president, was ordered to go to work, first observe the situation, and then do a good job of appeasement, lobbying, and various other work to pave the way for the migration.
Defeat them one by one, and deal with them one by one. For a big thing like migration, of course it has to be done from top to bottom, with tasks assigned by the top and distributed by the bottom. If you can complete it, you go ahead, and if you can't, someone else will take over. If you are willing to leave, everyone will be happy, but if you don't want to leave, you will be fired. For each unit one by one, first take care of the interests of some people, and then talk about the bigger interests. In short, those who agree must be made to agree more quietly, and those who disagree must agree for the sake of interests.
As for the stubborn one... hehe. This type of person is suitable for making an example of others.
In fact, compared to jobs that are more localized, regular workers at the power bureau, for example, are worried about relocation, as their jobs will be idled. What will happen to their salaries then? If they relocate, their pay will undoubtedly be worse than in other sectors, such as food processing, which is a popular sector and has no worries.
