Compared to Xiangcheng.
The workers really didn't want to make comparisons, but they couldn't help but compare Xiangcheng and Echeng in their minds.
There are almost no buildings in this city of E; it's all just temporary tents.
Not only that, these tents were set up in a completely disorderly manner, there were no roads, and the ground was littered with garbage.
How dirty and messy was it? So dirty that if you weren't careful, you might step in poop.
The entire city was never properly planned from the beginning.
Because no toilets were planned, people had to relieve themselves anywhere.
It's one thing for people to urinate and defecate anywhere, but there's no one specifically assigned to clean it up. This is something that would never happen at the Xiangcheng base.
Xiangcheng has a group of dedicated sanitation workers and a base cleaning team. In addition to the cleaning team that is specifically responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the base, there is also a dedicated cleaning team.
There are also robotic vacuum cleaners that have been placed everywhere, by who knows who.
Even the smallest debris can be swept up clean.
Not to mention that some people urinate or defecate anywhere. Anyone who dares to urinate or defecate anywhere will be caught by the police and fined.
The fine was quite substantial.
The toilets at the Xiangcheng base are sufficient, with four or five public toilets on each street, so there is absolutely no possibility of congestion.
Hu Yanxiang couldn't help but feel disgusted. He smelled the stinky odor of E City and kept thinking about how good the Xiangcheng base was.
The survivors he brought with him were also whispering amongst themselves.
However, Hu Yanxiang comforted himself by saying that E City was currently short of manpower for infrastructure construction, and that things would be fine once they arrived.
He brought so many survivors with him; it will develop rapidly and soon become like Xiangcheng.
Because of the arrival of this group of exceptionally strong laborers raised in Xiangcheng, Qu Shiheng, with a gloomy face, condescended to receive Hu Yanxiang and his group.
He took his sister from the south of Xiangcheng and returned to Echeng in a small, unassuming manner.
So he was much faster than Hu Yanxiang. Looking at the large group of men behind Hu Yanxiang, Qu Shiheng, who had lost an ear, nodded in satisfaction.
He extended his hand to Hu Yanxiang, shook it briefly, and said something perfunctorily.
"Welcome to City E. I believe that with your participation, City E will become better and better. City E is currently lacking in labor."
Qu Shiheng was keen to compare with Xiangcheng, so he took out a blueprint and said to Hu Yanxiang and the others:
"This is my newly drawn construction plan for the E City wall. Let's set up a base for it too."
Hu Yanxiang's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Qu Shiheng's drawings, then smiled and followed behind Qu Shiheng, avoiding everyone else, saying:
"Young Master Qu, these blueprints are quite good, but we can build the base anytime, there's no rush."
"We're so hungry right now that we're weak and exhausted. We need to rest for a few days, otherwise we won't have the strength to build the city wall or do any construction."
If we're going to build a base, shouldn't we first discuss the material benefits for the workers?
Back in Xiangcheng, when the workers were building construction sites, the contractors would always negotiate all the wages and benefits beforehand, and the workers would only start working then.
Qu Shiheng hasn't even started discussing compensation yet; he's already taken out the blueprints and asked Hu Yanxiang to organize the workers to carry out the construction.
But they had traveled a long way to E City and were already starving and short of breath. At least they should be given a place to stay and rest for a few days.
After enjoying good food and drinks and being in a good mood, then we can start building the base.
Qu Shiheng rolled up the blueprints in his hand, his face contorted with a serious expression.
He said coldly to Hu Yanxiang:
"Should I get you a luxury tent, bring in a few beautiful women to keep you company, and provide you with countless supplies?"
"Now that you've come to City E, you should do your part for our City E. I said we must start building the city wall right now, so you'd better get to work on it right away."
There's no room for argument.
To be honest, Qu Shiheng's attitude was very tough. He had suffered a setback in Xiangcheng and even lost an ear. He had been harboring a deep resentment in his heart.
After returning to E City, he turned his hatred into motivation, determined to build E City into a base even larger than Xiang City.
Therefore, Qu Shiheng is in a great hurry.
Therefore, now that such a large group of strong and healthy laborers has finally arrived, Qu Shiheng just wants to get them into the construction as soon as possible.
Hu Yanxiang wiped his face. He felt increasingly unable to convince himself that City E was better than City Xiang.
But he still hasn't given up hope for City E.
Xiangcheng had gone too far, and he was completely disappointed in Xiangcheng.
So, Hu Yanxiang spoke to Qu Shiheng in a gentle and courteous manner.
"Starting construction immediately is not out of the question, but could you give us some food?"
On their way to City E, each of them carried a large amount of supplies.
But because they had come on foot and the men ate a lot, the supplies were gone in no time.
There are some left, but they probably won't last long in City E either.
Therefore, Hu Yanxiang and others urgently needed to replenish their supplies.
Qu Shiheng thought about it and realized that made sense; they couldn't expect people to work on an empty stomach as soon as they arrived.
He immediately summoned Qu Yimin and asked her to take Hu Yanxiang to retrieve the supplies.
Qu Yimin appeared very reluctant. She glanced contemptuously at Hu Yanxiang and the large group of laborers outside the Qu family's tent.
Haha, don't think she can't tell. These guys are so big, they must have eaten a lot in Xiangcheng.
Now they're coming to E City to eat again, but Qu Yimin isn't going to put up with these people.
"Come with me," Qu Yimin beckoned.
Hu Yanxiang followed behind Qu Yimin, and several members of the Qu family carried out a basket of instant noodles.
Hu Yanxiang's eyes widened as he pointed to the basket of instant noodles and asked Qu Yimin,
"Are these supplies for me alone?"
He couldn't possibly eat that many instant noodles by himself. If it were at the Xiangcheng base, the Xiangcheng base would also provide instant noodles for the workers.
However, along with instant noodles, they also distribute a lot of other items, such as instant noodles with milk, self-heating hot pot, apples, oranges, beverages, beer, and so on.
A whole basket of instant noodles, and only one flavor? That's just too much.
Qu Yimin looked at Hu Yanxiang with a mocking expression.
"What are you thinking about? What are you dreaming about? This is all the supplies for you. Hurry up and eat, then you can get back to work."
Hu Yanxiang hadn't reacted yet, and kept talking.
"This is too much. I definitely can't finish it. Don't you have any other flavors? They're all just turkey flavor. I don't like turkey."
I received a string of comments that made me so angry that I sat up in shock, even though I was on my deathbed.
Of course I know my writing is bad, which is why I'm poor, but is it necessary to post a dozen book reviews to satirize me?
