I admire her for being able to rob the black market at this critical juncture.
Only the black market can provide so much food at this time.
Now that their food problem has been solved, Mayor Shang is in a much better mood.
The person in charge of the kitchen would definitely be confused when seeing so much food, so after finishing his work, he went to find Mayor Shang to answer his questions.
"Mayor, I just told you this morning that there was not enough food. How did you manage to solve this problem so quickly?" The person in charge of the kitchen spoke when no one was around Mayor Shang.
Upon hearing this, Mayor Shang immediately said with a serious face: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Are we short of food here?"
Since the person in charge of the kitchen was able to become the person in charge, he had some foresight and immediately said, "No, there is no shortage. COFCO just delivered food here yesterday. How could there be a shortage of food?"
After hearing the answer from the person in charge of the kitchen, Mayor Shang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, if you know what to do and what to say, just go and do your work."
"Now that we have food, we should arrange better meals for the PLA and the medical team. We can't let them go hungry."
The person in charge nodded: "Okay, then arrange some noodles for them tomorrow morning."
Qiao Xiazhi and Jiang Yunchen returned at dawn the next day.
After returning the car to Mayor Shang, Jiang Yunchen went back to his area to continue his work.
Except for the mayor and the kitchen staff who knew that food had been delivered, no one else knew that there was a food shortage, and the food problem was solved.
Qiao Xiazhi and his friends actually had noodles for lunch in the morning!!!
After drinking porridge for three days, everyone was so happy that they could suddenly eat noodles.
Although the noodles are just boiled in plain water, it is still very happy.
Zhou Yao had been tightening her belt for three days, and she was extremely happy to eat the noodles today.
I looked at the noodles in the bowl for a long time and couldn't bear to eat it.
"You said that we drank water and porridge every day in the past few days. At that time, we sighed and thought that we would be happy if we could have a bowl of noodles. But now that noodles are really available, why do I feel so sad and reluctant to eat them?"
"This bowl of noodles may be their food ration for a day, or even two days." Zhou Yao said, looking at the people who were queuing up for porridge.
Qiao Xiazhi said helplessly: "Here, just eat it. The porridge you drank before had more water than rice, maybe it was because there was not enough food."
"Maybe food has been allocated from above, so we, the frontline workers, can't be treated unfairly. Only when we are well fed can we have the strength to save more people."
"Eat quickly, and take a rest after you're full."
Qiao Xiazhi has always been open-minded. She eats whatever is available, so she is not at all pretentious or polite. She just slurps the noodles as soon as she gets them.
Seeing how happily she ate, Zhou Yao's appetite improved as well. Then the two sisters sat on the haystack and ate together, slurping their food with great happiness on their faces.
In the past, when we were at home and the conditions were good, we would add an egg to the noodles, and sometimes sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions.
Now in the disaster area, a bowl of plain noodles is enough to satisfy me.
I don’t know how delicious it tastes.
The soldiers ate noodles, the medical staff ate noodles, and the disaster-stricken people drank white porridge and steamed corn bread, but they were also very satisfied and were not dissatisfied with the mayor's arrangement.
What's more, their porridge today is much thicker than before.
After drinking this bowl of porridge and eating a steamed bun, I won’t be hungry for the whole day.
After eating, Qiao Xiazhi found a relatively cool place and went to sleep.
I was running outside last night and didn't sleep a wink all night.
I've been busy all morning and my eyelids are drooping with sleepiness.
Seeing how sleepy Qiao Xiazhi was, Zhou Yao couldn't help but joked, "Hey, you went out with your man last night and didn't sleep all night. Look how sleepy you are!"
Qiao Xiazhi closed his eyes and replied with three words: "What do you think?"
Zhou Yao: "Brother Yunchen is really something. He doesn't know how to be gentle with women. There are doctors and nurses over there. Why did he have to call you away? Isn't this just torturing you?"
Qiao Xiazhi: "It's okay. We're saving people here, and we're saving people over there. They're all saving people. Why do we have to divide them into so many categories? Stop talking to me, and let me get some sleep."
Zhou Yao also felt sorry for Qiao Xiazhi. She thought that Qiao Xiazhi was taken to his place by Jiang Yunchen to rescue someone yesterday, so she naturally didn't think much about it.
"Okay, okay, then go to sleep. I'll stay with you. I'll call you if there's anything."
After they saw that scene early yesterday morning, although those people were taken away later, the girls didn't dare to stay alone outside. They would go in groups of three or two, or follow the soldiers. They felt at ease only when the soldiers protected them.
At this moment, Qiao Xiazhi was very sleepy, and Zhou Yao didn't dare to leave her alone. She just stayed with her quietly.
Just when Qiao Xiazhi was sleeping soundly, Zhou Yao almost fell asleep, when suddenly several people walked in front of him.
Zhou Yao was so frightened that she immediately widened her eyes and looked up at the person who came.
The wooden stick beside him was also held tightly in his hand.
Fortunately, the person who came was Mayor Shang, so she felt relieved.
Although Qiao Xiazhi was sleeping soundly, as a person with special abilities, she could sense everything in the outside world even when she was asleep. In fact, she knew it when Mayor Shang came.
She woke up after sensing Zhou Yao's reaction.
Then he quickly sat up and pretended to be confused and asked, "What's wrong? Is there another earthquake?"
Hearing this, the old man who was following Mayor Shang hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's not an earthquake, it's not an earthquake."
When Qiao Xiazhi turned around, she saw a very kind old grandfather half bent over and looking at them.
Qiao Xiazhi and Zhou Yao quickly stood up.
Mayor Shang introduced, "Director Qiao, this is Mayor Fang from Pinghe County. Mayor Fang came here today to inspect the disaster area. He learned that you were here, so he wanted to come over and say hello to you."
Qiao Xiazhi was somewhat flattered when he heard this, and quickly extended his right hand to gently shake hands with County Magistrate Fang, "Hello, County Magistrate Fang, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you just now."
County Magistrate Fang smiled kindly and said, "How could that be? Director Qiao has been working hard with everyone here these past few days. Now that the situation has finally eased a bit, it's only right that you take a good rest."
"We are the ones who should feel sorry for causing Director Qiao and everyone else to suffer in this disaster area."
Qiao Xiazhi: "There is no such thing as suffering or not suffering. These are what we should do. As long as everyone is safe and sound, what does this little bit of suffering mean now?"
County Magistrate Fang was very moved when he heard this, and then nodded: "Director Qiao's broad mind is indeed admirable."
