Moreover, how did the other party manage to keep absolutely no information leaked?
It should be noted that the land in Su City is limited. Despite having so many guards under his command, he had never heard of any large-scale grain purchases or any instances of wasteland being developed and planted.
It felt as if this batch of grain had appeared out of thin air to relieve Suzhou's urgent needs.
Qin Yuncheng didn't think the owner of Xichen Company had such great ability to procure and stockpile such a large quantity of grain. Otherwise, how could the wheat grains remain perfectly dry and unaffected despite the rain and snow after the earthquake?
But he couldn't think of any other reason. It couldn't be that Yuan Ruoxi had a change of heart and donated all the food stored in her space. Even if she were of good character, he doubted her integrity, and she didn't have that kind of ability. As far as he knew, that superhuman's space was only about 100 square meters and could only be used for storage.
In the end, we arrived too late, and all the clues had been destroyed by that group of people.
Sigh, I don't know why Li Sikai didn't know how to protect the scene and conduct reconnaissance beforehand.
However, he only thought about it in his mind and didn't dare to actually pursue the truth. What if it was just some patriotic person showing kindness? He didn't want to let his actions silence them completely.
Qin Yuncheng's thoughts raced for a moment. He nodded and said to his team, "Take advantage of the night to transport this batch of grain to the secret warehouse and exchange it for an equal amount of reserve grain."
The young soldier nodded, "Yes, sir!"
Then, he and his teammates moved the soybeans and rice piled up in the warehouse onto the supply truck, and after it was full, they drove towards a warehouse deep in the mountains.
Qin Yuncheng wasn't idle either. Knowing he wouldn't get an answer, he stopped dwelling on it. He took a couple of deep breaths and went into the warehouse to work with his teammates.
Although this relocation didn't require repackaging, it still involved transporting goods from two different locations, which took longer.
Even at dawn, a third of them remained unreplaced.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yuncheng stopped his operation and had dozens of sacks of old grain carried to the guard team's small workshop for processing.
This small workshop was originally built to deal with various emergencies, so it not only has large processing machinery, but also some traditional stone mills, rice pounders, and so on. Of course, there are also many small machines that use solar energy.
Fortunately, solar-powered machines were found for grinding flour and pounding rice, eliminating the need for manual labor and making the process extremely fast.
Before long, several restaurants in the East City area received rice and grain delivered by the guards, and the chefs were all overjoyed.
As for the South City, West City, and North City, they also need to send grain, but since the new grain was discovered in the East City, it will naturally be given priority in supplying them.
When Shen Yanming returned for lunch, he noticed that the food had improved significantly. The thin porridge, where you could count the grains of rice, had become much thicker. Although it wasn't as good as white rice, it was already quite good considering that he was being fed by the guards.
However, after taking one bite, Shen Yanming frowned; the taste was far from pleasant.
Well, it's not that it's spoiled, but it doesn't smell good and has a musty smell.
Shen Yanming was certain that the porridge hadn't spoiled; it must have been the rice that was the problem. It seemed his suspicions were correct; the guards had replaced the old grain. That was good, too; the new grain could be stored as reserves for three to five years without spoiling.
However, Shen Yanming hoped that the guard team could discover the extraordinary nature of this batch of grains and use these wheat and rice as seeds to promote cultivation throughout the entire Suzhou City.
However, he only thought about it, because he knew it was impossible.
It's not that the grain seeds are bad, but there's a subconscious belief that grain seeds are meant to be purchased. High-yield grain seeds are all hybrids; if you save them for further cultivation, their traits will be unstable, the plants may be diseased or weak, and ultimately, the yield will be reduced.
What they didn't know was that the grain Shen Yanming took out was cultivated in space using native seeds. Even if it was cultivated as seed for several generations, its traits would remain stable, and it could achieve the yield of hybrid seeds.
However, he knew in private that these things couldn't be said. Alas, he wondered if this secret would ever be discovered.
Seeing that Shen Yanming looked preoccupied as he returned from the restaurant, Bi Qiaoan asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yanming shook his head, not expressing his worries. He smiled and said, "When I went to work today, they all said I was too cunning, that I had prepared a disguise so early on, and they even asked me how I got this birthmark on my face."
"You said it?" Bi Qiaoan smiled and touched Shen Yanming's face. Seeing that the dark spot was still as unsightly as yesterday, she felt relieved.
Shen Yanming shook his head. "How could that be? If they find out that the green walnuts are dyed, how are we going to explain the origin of the walnut skins?"
"Then how do you explain it?" Bi Qiaoan was a little curious. To be honest, she hadn't even thought of an excuse to fob people off. If it weren't for the time pressure last night, she probably wouldn't have resorted to this method to change her appearance.
"It's nothing, I just told them I used waterproof cosmetics, the kind specifically for tanning."
"They believed it?"
“They have no choice but to believe it, otherwise how would they explain the birthmark on their face?” After saying that, Shen Yanming chuckled. “They all said that they were so scared by Yuan Ruoxi last night that they almost couldn’t sleep.”
"Huh? How could that be?" Bi Qiaoan asked, puzzled. "Although I really don't want to admit it, aren't most men open to all kinds of advances?"
“Not everyone is like that. Most are like your husband, very self-respecting and self-loving.” Shen Yanming flattered himself, but what he was thinking was, “For such troublesome people, accepting all offers is tantamount to courting death.”
Bi Qiaoan nodded, not pressing the matter further. She asked, "Did that girl also go on a mission with you today?"
"Yes, not only Yuan Ruoxi, but also Tong Xianbao's girlfriend. The two women not only did not fight over him, but they also got along harmoniously."
Bi Qiaoan was completely convinced, and she exclaimed, "Truly a divine being!"
"Wife, you can't follow her example, it's not good. You know your man is the best!" Shen Yanming joked.
“Of course I know. My husband is not only handsome and capable, but he also knows how to keep his distance from women. Where else can I find such a virtuous and self-disciplined man besides you?” Bi Qiaoan held Shen Yanming’s handsome face, which was still undeniably handsome despite its freckles, in her hands and said sincerely.
Shen Yanming was extremely pleased by the flattery, and he said proudly, "Of course, you have great taste, and of course, I do too!"
Bi Qiaoan rolled her eyes with a smile, then spent some more time cuddling with her husband.
