Chapter 809: Food and Grass Before the Troops Move
Luo Dan looked at Jing Shu like a demon, pointing his finger at her. He kept saying "you, you, you" for a long time, his face flushed red, unable to utter another word. She was actually incredulous. How could a young girl hold the same high position as her husband? This wasn't just some old cabbage from before the apocalypse.
But Mrs. Niu nodded implicitly, letting her know that what this girl said was true! !
How could this be possible? How could this happen? Rodin was in great shock.
In fact, Jingshu is very low-key. She is really low-key. She usually doesn't deliberately show off her strength or flaunt it, unless she meets someone as annoying as she does today.
It was at this critical moment that Niu Jiezhi strode up to the stage in the center of the hall. After wiping the sweat from his head, he said into the microphone: "Welcome everyone to this banquet with special significance—"
Niu Jijie cleared the area first and sent the few family members who had sneaked in to the next room before continuing to talk.
The banquet began, interrupting Rodin's embarrassment. Her face was gloomy and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Jingshu no longer paid attention to Rodin, the ignorant middle-aged woman, but listened carefully to what Niu Jiwei said.
It can’t be called the Hongmen Banquet, but at least it’s not a good thing either.
After Niu Jiwei said some polite words and encouraged everyone, he let everyone eat. He also said that he wanted to discuss some things after the meal. As soon as the dishes were served, the only sound in the entire hall was the sound of chopsticks.
After all, everyone contributed money, so they still had to have a luxurious meal in the end times. The only difference was that the scale and quality were not as good as an ordinary meal at Jingshu's house - Jingshu was a little inflated, and there were not many families in the country who could afford the meals that Jingshu's family had now.
But in general, these are the foods that are available nowadays. They are all the most productive grains, such as sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, etc.
Of course, not everyone would be given a corn cob to chew on. That would be too luxurious. Only Jingshu's family would eat like this and dare to eat like this. Even formal employees of the town government would be very frugal.
Corn was ground into flour and cooked into clear corn and hazelnut soup, with a small bowl for each person. It was estimated that even one corn could not be used up on the whole table. Despite this, everyone drank the most ordinary hazelnut soup, just like drinking bird's nest porridge, one mouthful at a time... It is hard to believe that these people still have some power in Wucheng.
The sweet potatoes are naturally ground into powder to make sweet potato flour, and then the synthetic meat is cut into minced meat. Because I don’t want to use oil, I fry it directly to make a big dish.
Mash the potatoes, mix them with flour, and finally coat them with one-tenth of egg liquid, sprinkle some salt, and fry them into pancakes. Each person gets a small piece.
The cabbage that was everywhere before the end of the world has become the most popular vegetable on the table. It is just a boiled dish in plain water, without any broth. It is not the kind of boiled cabbage stewed with chicken soup and tripe soup for state banquets. It is just pure plain water without even salt. As soon as it is served on the table, it is picked up by hand.
This is pure natural food grown in the original ecology, not something randomly cultivated after the end of the world. It is naturally extremely precious. Those of you here still do food-related jobs, and you can't usually eat so many varieties at once. At most, you can get a pound of sweet potatoes a week and a pound of cornmeal the next week.
The rest of the time I would go to the cafeteria and eat some mediocre mixed food, unlike ordinary people who could only eat cheap food such as insect cakes and earth cakes every day.
Those with high ranks can get some green vegetables every three days. Anyway, whatever is available is given. No matter which factory you work for, you will get the products of that factory. For example, employees of the vegetable planting department in each region can get some rotten vegetable leaves as welfare every day. After the farm has distributed all the milk quotas to all leaders, the remaining amount can be distributed to the employees.
Most people were extremely satisfied with this meal, and they ate very quickly. Basically, the food was gone as soon as one dish was served. In addition, the food itself was not too much, so as soon as all the dishes were served, everyone finished eating. The whole hall was completely quiet.
Occasionally, there would be the sound of licking the bowl, and the fish would try to circle flexibly in the middle of the bowl to suck more juice.
Hey, in the end times, who hasn't licked a plate? It's a must. Jingshu has already mastered this special skill to perfection, and even her tongue has become much more flexible.
Jingshu glanced over and saw all
The chopsticks, bowls and plates are almost as good as new, so there is no need to waste water washing them.
I don't know what she was thinking about, but Jingshu's face looked bad. The family didn't touch anything else except a piece of potato pancake and a small bowl of soup. Rodin looked listless and didn't have much attraction to these foods. Just looking at her figure, you could tell that there were a lot of delicious food at home.
After the meal, the highlight came. The dishes were cleared away, and someone handed each table an agreement. It said on it that this meeting would be kept absolutely confidential. Everyone signed and put their fingerprints on it.
Then, a picture appeared on the projection screen in the center of the stage.
"Everyone here today works in Wucheng and has something to do with food. I used to be in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, but now, I'm not only in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, but also of everything that has to do with food."
"As the saying goes, 'food comes before troops move.' The higher-ups have decided to relocate. Our department now consists of 13 divisions and six major factories. How should we proceed? How should we coordinate among our departments? How should we split the migration into several groups? How can we ensure food for ourselves while also ensuring food for others along the way? I hope everyone will give this serious thought."
This moment finally came.
In their previous life, Jingshu's family was ignorant. They were told that they had to migrate. If they didn't, they would freeze to death or starve to death in Wucheng. Otherwise, they could just follow the path and be guaranteed to have something to eat. So, the family followed the path and suffered a lot on the way.
In this life, Jingshu's family knew the news in advance and made preparations in advance. Now, they have also participated in the migration plan in advance, and they have stepped into the center of power.
"No matter how difficult the situation is, we have to solve it. We don't care about anything else, we only care about food. But now we have a big problem. All the processing plants and food factories must be relocated, but the suspension of production means there will not be enough food. There will be a period of time in between. What do you think we should do?"
When they heard that there was not enough food, everyone became depressed.
"We've decided to sacrifice the interests of some of those who have the means. For gifts given today, those with an individual value of 1,000 virtual coins, or those representing the department with a value of 3,000 virtual coins or more, will have all benefits temporarily reduced during the relocation. Your wages and supplementary supplies will be paid if you work, but not if you don't. These will be restored after the relocation. I'll also donate the gifts you gave me today to the department, and I'll distribute them when we run out of supplies."
