The evening was a busy time, with countless survivors out and about, and stalls selling barbecued food, grilled squid, cuttlefish, kelp, sea fish...
No oil, no seasoning, you can imagine the smell, it's so fishy that you want to vomit.
The barbecued food was still okay, but the seafood soup was even more fishy, with all kinds of seafood mashed and cooked in a pot, the fishy smell drifting for miles in the wind.
Even though Jiang Ning couldn't get used to the smell now, he had no chance to eat it in his previous life, and he was just lucky to have the opportunity in this life.
Now there are also many people who can't eat it, just because they are short of money and are starving.
There are many villagers from the fishing village selling water on the roadside, even if it also has the salty smell of the sea, it is still much better than filtering the sea water directly.
However, there are many people asking, but very few buy.
There were many people queuing at the relief station far away, using their pass to collect relief food.
The beach was crowded with people, and Jiang Ning didn't want to go there for safety or mood considerations, so he queued up to collect relief food instead.
The rice balls were the size of a fist, and the card was limited to the first seven days, one per day.
They were called rice balls, but they were actually mashed raw seafood, added with flour or corn flour, and rolled into a ball. The color was really ugly, but it was indeed filling.
Three people and one dog, no Coke.
It really smelled bad, and it made your throat hurt, but no one complained, it was life-saving food.
Huo Yishen was about to eat when he saw a child running towards the soldier distributing relief rations. The child looked at him weakly, helplessly and pitifully, and begged, "Uncle, I'm so hungry."
The soldier was very young, only in his early twenties, and quite thin.
He held the last rice ball in his hand, which was his food.
Looking at the child in front of him, he handed the rice ball over without hesitation, smiled at the child and said, "Eat it."
The child took the rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth desperately. He didn't even say thank you, turned around and ran away with his mouth covered.
At the same time, several children ran over, surrounded the soldier and asked him for food, "Uncle, I'm so hungry too, please be kind and give me something to eat."
They surrounded him and grabbed his clothes to prevent him from leaving.
The soldier looked embarrassed, but he couldn't conjure up food out of thin air.
He looked at the children helplessly, and said in a choked voice: "I'm sorry, uncle can't do anything."
The look in his eyes was as if he had done something terribly wrong.
After making a fuss for more than ten minutes, the child left disappointed when he saw that he couldn't get any food.
Huo Yishen walked over and handed him the rice ball in his hand.
At first, he didn't want it.
But he didn't know what Huo Yishen said, and he finally took the rice ball and ate it.
However, he started crying while eating.
Doudou pinched the rice ball in her hand, turned her head and looked at Jiang Ning, with a questioning look in her eyes, "Sister."
Jiang Ning didn't stop her, "Go if you want to."
Doudou got up and ran to her brother, handing the rice ball in her hand to the soldier.
Then, she hugged him gently.
Doudou came back only after watching him finish the rice ball, looking particularly happy.
Huo Yishen came back and sat in silence.
Jiang Ning divided the rice ball in his hand into four pieces, "Try them all."
It tasted salty and rough, but no one wasted it.
Huo Yishen took it and chewed it slowly. After a long time, he said, "Aning, do you think I am a deserter?"
Every time he saw them, he felt particularly uncomfortable.
"I don't think you are." Jiang Ning thought for a moment, "There are many ways to repay your loyalty, and it is not necessarily the right way that you insisted on before.
Remember the shot by Lian Haoting? If you hadn't decisively shot and killed the leader of the Dragon Slaying Society, who knows how many soldiers and police officers would have been sacrificed, as well as the survivors who were harmed at the grassroots level, and the food you paid could have saved many people."
The moonlight was hazy, and she looked at him intently, "Look at him, he gave up his own food, and even if he encountered danger in the future, he would give up his chance to survive, but how many people could he save?
Look at Zhong Ping again, he looks like a weak scholar, but he designed a mousetrap, which prevented many survivors from being bitten by mice, and even the epidemic or the Black Death. He didn't get sick, so who dares to say he's not a hero?
Huo Yishen, I believe that even if you don't follow the old path, you will have your own way of doing things, and more people will survive.
You are a human, not a god. You can't bear this natural disaster and the end of the world by yourself. There is no need to put too much pressure on yourself. "
Jiang Ning held his hand, interlocking their fingers tightly, "and I believe you have done enough, and you are worthy of your country in both reason and emotion. The rest is to live well, for yourself, for your family, for those who love you and those you love."
Huo Yishen held her hand in return, and the moonlight covered the red corners of his eyes, "Aning, thank you."
Thank you, Jiang Ning is no exception.
If she hadn't met Huo Yishen, her personality might have been more sharp, but now she has become much calmer.
The beach was crowded at night, seemingly lively but actually full of danger.
Jiang Ning and the others did not stay too long and drove back to the villa in their shabby magic car. They
were not idle when they came back either, leaving the task of watching the house to the two, while Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen went to the rooftop to install solar panels overnight.
The two planned to go to the pier early tomorrow morning to see the seafood that had just landed, and then make a specific stocking plan.
Huo Yishen had a high level of comprehension, and he installed it while reading the instruction manual. The two spent several hours to get the solar power generation system done overnight.
After taking a shower, living in a high-end villa, and sleeping on a soft six-digit bed, Jiang Ning still felt it was not quite real.
It was clearly the end of the world after a natural disaster, but it felt like the days were getting better and better.
Forget it, just enjoy yourself. Who knows how long you can live? Live every day well.
At two o'clock in the morning, the alarm rang on time.
Jiang Ning was very sleepy, but was woken up by the dog.
This guy is very smart. When he heard the alarm, he knew that the shit shoveler was going to do something big, so he hurried him.
Jiang Ning was unfamiliar with the place, so he put the important things into the space and took the two dogs into the car.
The pier is in the other direction, only a few kilometers away from the beach.
When we arrived, the pier was already very busy, and several fishing boats were docked to unload.
Many merchants were waiting to pick up goods, some drove four-wheelers, some rode tricycles, and without exception, they were all from the vicinity of Guangdong City. Those who
were too far away did not dare to come, fearing that the seafood would go bad before they were sold.
Not only merchants, but also community group purchases, in short, they were all running for a living.
At the same time, Jiang Ning found that there were several water tankers queuing up in the distance to fill water and then transport it to other places to sell.
The seafood just off the boat was very fresh, and some were even still alive.
Yellow croaker, small mouth fish, turbot, sea black fish, Mr. fish, Miss fish, sea eel, sea catfish, etc. Lobster
, lobster, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, sea prawn, Lugu shrimp, bamboo shrimp, etc.
Swimming crabs, blue crabs, hairy crabs, red crabs, etc.
Kelp, laver, sea fungus, asparagus, wakame, etc.
There are so many varieties and countless.
The transactions are divided into three categories. For those who need to pick the seafood by hand, 1 catty of seafood is exchanged for 1.5 catties of food; for those who don’t pick the species or size and just grab them, 1 catty is exchanged for 1 catty; for sea vegetables like kelp, 2 catties are exchanged for 1 catty of food.
It looks cheap, but in fact, raw seafood is heavy, and 1 catty doesn’t make much.
In addition, the transactions are limited to private fishing boats, and official fishing boats do not sell to the outside world. In addition to taking out a fixed amount every day to make relief rice balls and provide assistance to new survivors, all the others are dried and stored. There
were all kinds of fish at the pier. Jiang Ning bought more than 20 kilograms of shrimp, squid, yellow croaker, swimming crab, etc. He put them in a foam box to keep them fresh.
The retail price is too expensive. If you want to stock up, you won’t be able to do it even if you have a mountain of gold and silver. You have to find another way.
Jiang Ning wants to try his luck at the Tang Group and the Marine Life Base...
