Oyster Omelette
A group of armed security guards appeared in sight, bringing a sense of security that made everyone feel relieved.
Only the two people who caused the trouble felt a sense of unease in their hearts.
In their minds, causing trouble in the streets is a common occurrence and would not cause such a big stir.
"How do we deal with trouble in the street?" Ye Miaomiao asked the people around her in a cold voice.
"According to the law, causing trouble in the street is a record," someone beside her said quickly, adding, "However, stabbing someone will put you on the blacklist."
"Are they blacklisted?"
"They've been pulled in. Now they're still on our territory. Logically, we can shoot them."
The two of them asked and answered questions and directly convicted the person.
Grandpa Sun had sent a message to the team members earlier, and Ye Miaomiao also knew the inside story.
These two were most likely from Tianyi Village, and the remaining 10% to 20% chance was that they were not good people either. They injured people in the street, so Ye Miaomiao didn't want to let them go easily.
"If they can be captured alive, then capture them alive. If not, then let them go. Don't let them hurt anyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people behind him dispersed and rushed towards the two men in an orderly manner.
Ye Miaomiao grabbed the young man who had just spoken to her and said, "Go and pull your grandfather away."
How could an old man still stand in the middle of the battle, unaware of the danger, and still protecting the seafood basket with only the bottom left!
The young man's anxious expression eased a little, and he hurried over.
Despite the sheer number of people, the battle ended in the blink of an eye.
Two people were pinned down, their faces and noses swollen, with several bloodstains on their bodies, and they knelt on the ground in a miserable state.
However, no one sympathizes with them.
"Are you crazy? How dare they start a disturbance in our territory with knives in the street? Are these two newcomers? Have they never read the law?"
"I think they're just tired of living! Do you remember those two from last night? And that merchant imprisoned behind the training camp? They've found their misfortune upon us. Our lord is not to be trifled with."
"Luckily no one was hurt, otherwise one person's spit could have drowned them!"
The people of Hungry Hungry Territory are indeed friendly, but this kindness is only extended to their friends. The apocalypse has arrived, and with the daily suffering of natural disasters and the threat of death, how could there be any completely kind people?
Faced with these two people who tried to threaten the security of the territory, although they didn't know who they were or where they came from, everyone was "unbiased" - they hated them to the core.
"Take them to prison for interrogation. Now's the chance for those two from Tianyi Village to atone for their crimes. Let's see if they can help."
The team members dragged the two men away viciously, and the farce came to an end.
Ai Qi and the others felt relieved, picked up their backpacks in the snow and were about to leave when they were stopped by Ye Miaomiao.
"Are you a policeman? Why didn't you sign up for the recruitment?" she asked.
"I am." Ai Qi nodded, but shrugged: "But I'm just an ordinary police officer at the grassroots level. I've retrieved corpses and chased dogs, but I don't have such high attribute values. I probably can't meet the requirements."
"I know myself well, so I didn't sign up. I just chop down trees every day, and if I'm lucky enough to pick a few grapefruits, that's good enough."
That won’t do!
Ye Miaomiao just bought the "declined training ground" today. The training ground was occupied by a pack of wolves and needed to be dispersed before it could be used.
She sent a message to Fang Yan and formed a team to take a look.
The training ground was large and fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. It had dedicated living quarters, a kitchen, and warehouses, practically a small camp.
It’s not a hassle to come and go, the players can just stay in that place and train.
As a result, there will be no one in the territory.
A problem occurred in the territory today, which sounded the alarm for Ye Miaomiao. There needs to be someone patrolling the territory and solving problems at all times.
"The territory needs you," she said bluntly. Seeing Ai Qi scratching his head, still looking like "I don't think I can do it", Ye Miaomiao changed the subject.
"The daily salary is 50 points, and other benefits remain the same, including three free meals a day and various disaster essential supplies."
She said this without hiding anything, and immediately those with sharp ears looked over.
The people around Ai Qi opened their eyes wide and were stunned.
When did ordinary civil servants get their salaries raised again?! They hadn't noticed before, but now they're counting on their fingers: fifty points, plus three meals a day, plus disaster supplies, that's...
Who the hell can calculate that?
Suddenly, everyone looked at Ai Qi with jealousy, especially the brothers beside him, who looked as if they wanted to eat him alive.
I am not afraid of my brothers living a hard life, I am just afraid of them driving a Land Rover.
We all share the joys and sorrows, but you are the only one who succeeds overnight. You deserve to die.
Only the team members looked up at the sky. Since the territory started doing business, profits have increased. The average employee's salary has gradually increased to the standard 50 points.
As the hardest-working group, their points had already reached 80.
At this time...it's better not to say anything.
"Promise!" The brother beside Ai Qi quickly bumped his arm and unconsciously took off his backpack: "I'll leave this to you brothers. Go ahead. Don't forget each other when you become rich and powerful."
"What? Treating you to a meal is already good enough." Ai Qi quickly snatched back the backpack, and then quickly said to Ye Miaomiao: "I'll go!"
Ye Miaomiao nodded: "I plan to set up a new night watch team to patrol the territory and deal with some minor disturbances to the public order."
"The training camp in the Central Territory will be used by the Night Watch. If anyone is caught disturbing the peace, they can be detained for a day and handed over to the Security Team when they are free."
The Night Watchmen's job is very simple. There are not so many "murderers" coming and going in the territory normally. They just solve minor disputes among ordinary people.
This Ai Qi is even more familiar, isn’t this his job?
Not to mention that the points he could earn were nearly twice as much as cutting down trees, so he had no reason to refuse.
Thinking of the colleagues in the territory, Ai Qi's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "How many Night Watchmen do you need?"
"About four people will take turns. I'll build a rest pavilion for you later."
“…”
As the two talked, the people around them, realizing they were discussing details, dispersed. Ai Qi's friend looked at him resentfully, but since they were truly hungry, they went to eat first.
Except for Grandpa Sun and his team members, no one else knew that the two men came from "Tianyi Village", so the territory soon became lively again.
People walked past Grandpa Sun, who was squatting on the ground collecting shells. His grandson sighed, "Grandpa, please stop setting up a stall. It's so tiring! What if the same danger as today happens again? This is the end of the world, anything is possible."
"It's not like your grandson can't make money. Besides, no one buys these small shells! I know you've run the shop for most of your life, but this is different. This is the end of the world!"
"The most important thing in the apocalypse is to have enough food. These small seafood don't have any meat. I know you'll say they're fresher and more tender than the larger ones. But everyone wants different things now. What they want is to have enough to eat!"
Grandpa Sun wordlessly packed the seafood he had harvested all morning into a wicker basket, leaving his grandson squatting beside him, chattering incessantly.
The usually taciturn boy now acts like a noisy frog.
He didn't stop muttering until Ye Miaomiao and Ai Qi finished talking and Grandpa Sun finished packing his things.
Ye Miaomiao walked over and wanted to ask him to eat, but then stopped.
Grandpa Sun lowered his head and skillfully shook the sand and gravel in the basket. He separated the large and small shells with his hands, picked out a few that were of poor quality, and threw them into a burlap bag on the side.
It seemed that his grandson didn't listen to a word he said and continued to sell.
Ye Miaomiao also heard what the team members said, but she somewhat understood this persistent old man.
Because her grandmother was like this, having lived through the famine years, she understood the importance of food. She carried a hoe and planted vegetables in the fields every day. Occasionally, she would save the good things she bought in the village and leave them for Ye Miaomiao.
When Ye Miaomiao was a child, she lived with her grandmother and often didn't have enough to eat. Later, when her financial situation improved and her grandmother passed away, Ye Miaomiao would never forget the old woman who could store sugar.
Ye Miaomiao murmured: "The little shells are also the harvest of labor."
Grandpa Sun raised his head, his cloudy eyes emitting light, it was hard not to agree with Ye Miaomiao's statement.
It was freezing cold, did he want to sit here? He wasn't that stupid, and he knew these raw seafood were not easy to sell.
But every piece I picked up was meat! How could I bear to throw it away? It would be nice if someone bought it. It's important not to waste this food.
It's a pity that his grandson thought he had nothing to do.
"I bought it!" Ye Miaomiao waved her hand and decided: "Take it to make pancakes, and treat everyone to lunch at noon." She smiled and said: "Grandpa, come along too. Just tell me if there are many seafood products over there."
Grandpa Sun wanted to refuse, but after hearing Ye Miaomiao's second half of the sentence, he hurriedly said, "A lot! A lot! It's a really great place. You can find good things just by walking a few steps!"
The two walked in front and talked in a very harmonious manner.
But in just a moment, Ye Miaomiao knew one thing. Grandpa Sun also opened a shop in the past, but he also sold cooked food, both steamed and baked, and he also made delicious oyster pancakes.
Why don't you sell cooked food anymore?
Ye Miaomiao asked in confusion, and then she realized that it was because she had said that fire could not be made in the territory, and some people said that cooked food could not be sold, so no one had any.
Ye Miaomiao: "..." Damn it! Who spread rumors!
She said, "In such a large market, how come no one is making snacks?" Winter is coming, and everyone in the territory is using charcoal. She thought it was natural to use the charcoal to make some food.
A snack lover is furious! Her oyster pancake!
Ye Miaomiao said that fires were forbidden, but they meant open flames. Burning a large pile of wood was certainly not as dangerous as burning a pile of charcoal in an iron container.
Of course, if someone thinks they can just start a fire and put charcoal on flammable materials, that’s another matter.
It seems that if we want everyone to use fire safely, we must first issue a set of fire rules and let the night watchman supervise it, so that Grandpa Sun next to us can continue to sell cooked food.
Ye Miaomiao thought secretly, Zhang Jia's family shouldn't blame her, the food served in the restaurant was too formal, she just wanted to have some snacks.
