This continued until the Chinese New Year, when large numbers of family members arrived at the train station. In order to maintain consistency and smooth management, Jun Zhengnan borrowed a bus to specifically pick up and drop off the families of base personnel.
They are mainly researchers and family members of the construction team. Other service personnel are locals and their families are also locals.
However, if you add up the researchers, the computer language staff, the relatives of the construction team, and everyone's parents and sisters, the number of people is quite large...
And they are all arranged to arrive at the base one or two days before New Year’s Eve.
Since one car was not enough, another one was mobilized.
With so many more people at the base, the service staff is short-staffed. Previously, there were less than 500 people eating, but suddenly there are more than 1,000 people, and there will be more than 2,000 people tomorrow!
Xu Yuzhen slapped his forehead and forgot about this!
Just thinking about taking care of the grandchildren!
Some people started having no food to eat for dinner that day...
Bai Lu was also having a headache. "Talk to the families. When the kitchen was installed, it was configured based on a canteen for a thousand people. See if anyone can help out. The salary is 5 yuan a day, but the food must be delicious..."
That’s the only request!
Shen Liangchen and Xu Nuo were in the cafeteria, recruiting chefs and helpers in public.
Then, the chef and the helper found out that the vegetables could be picked from the base, but the problem arose again: there was not enough meat!
Just when everyone was getting anxious, two cars stopped at the gate of the base. Inside the cars were the sounds of animals: pigs squealing, sheep bleating...
The guard was confused and rode his electric scooter to the kitchen, shouting, "What's going on with you guys? How did the truck from the kitchen get to the main entrance? Don't they usually enter through the side door?!"
Everyone was confused.
Bai Lu and Jun Jing went out to check the situation first. After asking the freight driver, they found out that the truck came from the Northeast Third District and was a New Year gift from the breeding base over there to the base here!
"Isn't there meat here? Open the door and put the car in! Let's kill some pigs and sheep today so everyone can have some meat! Go set up the barbecue grill! Get busy!"
Bai Lu shouted, and everyone immediately understood what she meant!
The canteen can't serve so many people at once, but if we barbecue together, we can eat slowly. After all, the construction has been completed, it's New Year's Eve, and it's evening now, so there's no rush!
As Bai Lu spoke, the smile on her lips never faded. In previous years, in some villages, they would kill a pig every New Year and share the food.
But the breeding base has already sent 20 pigs and 20 sheep to this base this year! And chickens and ducks...
Although they are all piglets and lambs.
While everyone was busy, Bai Lu called the breeding base to inquire about the situation. However, there was no news after the goods were delivered, and they had not contacted them in advance.
After the call was connected, Zheng Wei gasped, "Comrade Bai Lu!"
"What are you busy with? I received 20 pigs and 20 sheep, as well as several cages of chickens and ducks. They've already been unloaded, and I asked the driver to go back."
Bailu also gave the driver a red envelope of 10 yuan. The New Year is coming soon, and it must be tiring for him to make such a trip!
"Here we are! Huhuhu... I was super busy before the Lunar New Year. This batch of breeding pigs and sheep has produced over 400 piglets and 300 lambs. I sold a third of them for the Lunar New Year, mostly males. I'm planning to keep raising the rest so we can increase production next year! The ones I'm sending you are all hand-picked by me, so smart! The meat should be good!"
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng! Have a good New Year! Looking at the situation, we should be able to supply some people with meat for the New Year next year. If things are stable here after the New Year, copy the same method to Neimang. Then you might have to lead the team there as the chief instructor!"
Actually, this should not be said now, but Bai Lu knows that Zheng Wei is an honest person, and his current achievements are enough to prove it!
"Great! A new batch of pups has been born, but they're still being raised. Some haven't even reached their full term yet. However, following the researchers' advice, we've built sheds for heating, and none have died! This scientific breeding is truly amazing! In May or June, when the new batch of pups is ready to eat, I'll have another truckload brought over!"
Zheng Wei said this, laughing so hard, he was so happy!
I spent the first half of my life hunting, but now I’m raising animals, which I never thought of before!
"Okay! Uncle Zheng, you should take care of your health and focus on training your successor. Don't get too tired alone!"
Zheng Wei responded.
Bai Lu heard someone calling Zheng Wei to do something, so she hung up the phone first.
But the smile on his face never faded. Jun Jing knew his wife was happy. "The situation at the breeding base has also picked up. We need to take precautions against swine fever."
"We've given them the special medicine, don't worry! Not only that, we've also given them medicine for bird flu. Otherwise, how could the breeding be going so smoothly?" Bai Lu said, grabbing Jun Jing. "Let's go and try the meat we raised ourselves!"
"Just like the ones you raised."
Junjing quarrels with his wife.
"You also said that your daughter happened to be at her parents' place yesterday. When I went over, she was eating. Later, I went out for a while and went to Xu Nuo's place again. Her parents brought her over, and she was still eating. How could she eat so much? She must be the reincarnation of a pig demon..."
Jun Jing held his forehead, "Isn't that your daughter?"
"My daughter can't eat that much..."
Jun Jing reached out and pinched his wife's face. "That's my daughter, okay?"
As Bai Lu walked, she glanced at Jun Jing's belly and said, "You're growing up. Give me another baby and let me see it."
The two of them played and joked all the way into the cafeteria.
Anyone who sees the relationship between this couple will envy them. They are both good-looking and their relationship is still very good after a year of marriage. Most importantly, they are very capable!
Xu Nuo took the piece of barbecue that was reserved for the two of them and handed it to Bai Lu, "Hurry up and eat it, I'm literally snatching food from a tiger's mouth!"
"Someone go tell Comrade Bai Lu! The kitchen is low on seasoning! We only have salt!"
The chef from the kitchen ran out with a big iron spoon, yelled, and saw Bai Lu.
Bai Lu looked at Jun Jing with a suppressed smile on her face.
Then he put his hand into Jun Jing's pocket, and took it out again...
Jun Jing: ...
Feeling that it would be wrong to take it out again, Bai Lu changed her pocket and continued...
Everyone thought that the seasoning was really taken out of Jun Jing's pocket, and they felt that this man's pockets could hold quite a lot!
Early the next morning, Bai Lu and Jun Jing drove out for a while, exchanged a lot of seasonings from the system, and took out a bunch of fruits from the space, and then returned to the base.
This was the first time for the two of them to drive inside the base, which was originally not allowed!
The car stopped in the kitchen, and Bai Lu used the car to start moving things downstairs.
One basket of fruit, two baskets of fruit...
Bai Lu treated the car as a decoration and took it directly out of the space and handed it to Jun Jing.
Jun Jing's head ached, and he stopped after the sixth basket. "I can't take any more out. A car can only hold so much..."
