"Well, our alliance is so big. Even if each base takes a little, it adds up to quite a lot. Alliance Officer Wen, what do you think we should do with these things?" Jiang Shulian asked.
Wen Chaohui tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile, "Do you think the residents of the base will cause trouble if I keep all the stuff?"
Jiang Shulian was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "You're not that kind of person. You wouldn't do something that would ruin your reputation."
However, if you really intend to do that, then the brothers who participated in receiving the goods today and I will keep it a secret.
"You've done so much for the Haishi base, it's only right that you treat yourself to something good."
Moreover, thirty-five wolves are enough to silence any dissent.
Wen Chaohui laughed and shook his head after hearing this: "No, thank you. Everyone should know about the good intentions from above."
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's distribute those five boxes of fresh fruit and a sack of nuts among everyone. Send the rest to the base canteen and let the chef see how to cook them."
Oh, and set aside some ingredients to prepare two banquets to entertain the base's senior management. They've worked hard these past two years."
Wen Chaohui looked at Jiang Shulian with a half-smile: "Is what I'm doing just that not going too far?"
Jiang Shulian shook his head: "It's only right."
Wen Mengguan added: "Post a notice in advance to inform everyone that there will be extra food in the canteen on New Year's Eve. Arrange for manpower to maintain order and prevent any fighting. Reserve food for the staff on duty, and provide it free of charge. Oh, and take those two packets of medicine to Shen Yanming, and also give him some fruit."
You can do all of this well, go ahead.
"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away." Jiang Shulian said and left.
The next morning, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan had just woken up when they heard the base's loudspeaker broadcasting: "The base will provide a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, including braised wolf meat, pork dumplings, mutton soup, fruit soup, and fresh vegetables..."
Both of them were stunned, wondering why the base was suddenly making such a big move. They had thought the wolves would be left to be eaten slowly.
An'an and Nuan Nuan looked at the couple, and after listening, they asked with drooling, "Mom and Dad, what does wolf meat taste like?"
The couple fell silent for a moment, because neither of them had ever eaten it before.
"Does the baby want some?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
An An thought for a moment, then lowered her head and poked her little finger, saying, "I don't really want to, it's just that I've never had it before."
Nuannuan nodded as well.
Shen Yanming was both amused and exasperated. He patted his two children's heads and said, "My little darlings have all learned to use retreat as a strategy. How about we go visit them on New Year's Eve?"
Bi Qiaoan glanced at the two children and noticed that they were both looking at her with sparkling eyes.
She deliberately acted coy, waiting two minutes before saying, "Okay!"
"Yay! We can eat wolf meat!" the two children cheered.
Bi Qiaoan raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Yanming, saying, "I never expected that the wolf that so-and-so disliked so much would be so popular with our little darling. Isn't that amazing?"
"Not necessarily. Our baby is just curious, not that they're particularly interested in wolf meat. Maybe they'll try it once and never want to again."
"It's possible that they'll keep thinking about it in the future."
Shen Yanming laughed heartily: "If that's really the case, we can only think about it. We, as parents, can't afford to supply them with wolf meat in the long run. If they want to eat it, they'll have to wait until they grow up and hunt it themselves."
The two children nodded vigorously after hearing this: "When we grow up, we'll hunt wolves for Mom and Dad to eat."
The couple looked at each other strangely, exchanged a glance, and shook their heads in unison: "No need, you can eat by yourselves."
The two children giggled and didn't say anything more.
Finally, Lunar New Year's Eve arrived. The capital city started a live stream several hours in advance. Everyone watched on the big screen, sharing in the joy of the harvest, and drooling as they looked at the chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle, and sheep.
Li Sikai did not appear on camera; Peng Baoxin led everyone through the changes in space. The young man seized the opportunity and successfully became the most popular male host in the news department.
Yin Jiaqi was incredibly envious, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't escape that day, after all.
Yin Jiaqi only found out what happened afterward. She hated Shu Miaomiao to death, but the person had already exploded, so what could she do? She could only sigh with regret.
Watching Peng Baoxin's image on the cafeteria TV, I only hope that one day I can also do a live broadcast on my own.
The canteens at all the bases were packed with people early on, because the residents all knew that there would be good food today.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan arrived just in time for the start of the Spring Festival Gala, as they usually do. As soon as they entered, they found that there was hardly any room left to stand.
Many people stand against the wall after finishing their meals, staring intently at the TV screen.
An'an and Nuannuan looked at the bustling crowd and found it quite interesting. They looked left and right, wanting to see everything.
The couple held their two children's hands tightly, afraid that they would be separated from each other in the crowd if they weren't careful.
They didn't necessarily have to watch the Spring Festival Gala in the cafeteria; they just felt they had to show their faces. And the two kids were very interested in wolf meat.
After discussing it, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan decided to get their food and go home to watch the live stream.
Holding An'an and Nuannuan in their arms, they looked through the long queue towards the food window. Seeing the glistening braised pork and milky white mutton soup in the chefs' ladles, they asked, "What would you like to eat?"
An An Nuan Nuan remained true to her original intention and answered directly: "Wolf meat!"
The little voices were soft and sweet, yet surprisingly loud. People queuing up all turned to look, giving the two little bundles of joy with kind smiles.
The two babies weren't shy at all; they grinned and showed off their tiny teeth.
Before long, it was their turn. Shen Yanming handed them the lunchbox: "One serving of braised wolf meat, one serving of fruit soup, and two steamed buns."
It wasn't a particularly outstanding choice, so it didn't attract much attention.
The head chef nodded and scooped two full spoonfuls of meat for him without even shaking them.
Shen Yanming glanced at him in surprise, only to see the head chef winking at him.
Old Shen didn't understand what it meant, so he swiped his smart bracelet and left with his wife, son, and daughter.
After they left, a waiter next to them whispered, "Boss, why were you so generous just now?"
The head chef glanced at the crowd waiting for their food and said in a low voice, "The wolf meat was hunted by someone else; I only found out about it by chance."
"Oh, is that so? That's amazing."
"Of course, I heard it was a near-death experience, and he almost didn't make it back. And after he came back, he donated his meat to the guard team free of charge."
"Is that so? Then we should give them more meat. They have a really high level of awareness."
The couple were unaware of the cafeteria staff's opinion of them, and when they got home, they found that the meat and soup had gone cold.
Shen Yanming took out a small saucepan to heat up the sweet soup, while Bi Qiaoan directly put the braised wolf meat into her spatial storage and heated it in the microwave.
When it was ready and taken out, they found that Shen Yanming had already turned on the tablet and connected to the base's public network.
