Chapter 336: Smoke curling up
Under the strict enforcement of the old nest regulations, each of the more than 2,000 coolies was allocated a porcelain bowl.
There are no such mandatory regulations for the hundreds or thousands of other laborers living on the other side of the garbage mountain.
Shi Yuebai's current abilities are insufficient, and he can only manage the more than 2,000 coolies in the old nest inside the garbage mountain.
After all, there were more than 2,000 coolies, and they had been following her for a long time.
They are more familiar with the types and content of work in the old nest.
No special training is needed to adapt to the work pace in the old nest.
On the contrary, everyone has adapted well to this intense work pace.
They have learned how to balance themselves in their busy lives.
Moreover, these coolies stay in the nest for a long time, and they will naturally develop a loyalty to the nest.
Even Ye Honglang, who used to have a lot of opinions about Lao Chao, is now a loyal fan of Lao Chao.
Everyone knows that Shi Yuebai is the spiritual symbol of the old nest, and being loyal to the old nest means being loyal to Shi Yuebai.
Loyalty is a very precious thing.
Shi Yuebai particularly values this loyalty.
As long as the coolies are loyal to her, it is worth it for Shi Yuebai to be nicer to them.
So Shi Yuebai began to force these two thousand coolies to eat white rice.
This is all for the good of the laborers, not because the growing amount of rice takes up a lot of space in her supply yard.
Specifically, the old nest no longer provides ready-made food for the coolies for three meals a day.
All the finished foods were placed in the ditch outside the same-character frame.
If the small ditch cannot hold all the materials, they will all be piled up in the material yard.
Wait for an opportunity to take it out and exchange it for daily necessities with people outside.
Therefore, these prepared foods in the nest were no longer accessible to the coolies.
The old nest no longer called on those coolies to gather outside the second wall every day to receive prepared food.
The rice was placed in the newsstand, and the laborers had to use small red flags to buy it.
Fortunately, rice is really cheap.
Just a small red flag can buy a lot of rice.
Even if the old nest no longer provides three meals a day for the coolies, they can still afford to buy rice.
Also for sale in the newsstand are pots and pans collected from the black monkeys.
The pots and pans that Black Monkey exchanged for Shi Yuebai were not many.
At most, there are only a few thousand.
But now Shi Yuebai has given the order to no longer provide the laborers with three meals a day.
The coolies needed to turn the rice into white rice, so they had to buy pots and pans from the newsstand.
There were also some coolies who bought neither rice nor pots and pans.
They just use the little red flags they have saved to buy fortified water.
But such people are a minority after all.
The only survivors now are those children who were born just a few years ago.
They all transitioned to the wasteland from the civilized world before the wasteland.
They still yearn for the mundane life of the world.
Therefore, most of the more than 2,000 coolies in the old nest responded to the popular trend and used the small red flags they had saved to buy pots, pans and rice.
They had already carved chopsticks out of osmanthus tree branches.
When the work was done and it was time to eat, a fire was lit in front of each tent.
There is no electricity or energy in the nest.
But it doesn’t matter, their osmanthus trees are growing really well.
To make the rice white, they used broken osmanthus branches to make fire.
In this way, there is no need to worry about these osmanthus trees growing too tall and causing mutations.
Because more than 2,000 survivors were breaking osmanthus branches beside their tents to prepare three meals a day.
The osmanthus trees, which grow wildly because they absorb meltwater from the accumulated snow, can never grow very big.
Shi Yuebai himself did not expect this.
Because he was in a good mood, he asked the people in the nest to eat with bowls.
The result was an unexpected balance of resources in the nest.
Every day I watch the people in these old nests, and at the appointed time they make a fire and cook in their tents.
Shi Yuebai would stare at the curling smoke above the tents in a daze.
More than a thousand tents were densely packed outside the second wall.
A small number of tents were also moved outside the third wall.
When it’s time to eat, the roofs of these tents reveal the atmosphere of everyday life.
It actually formed a very warm picture.
There were even some coolies who were more skillful and used the thick trunk of the osmanthus tree to carve it into a spatula.
Not only did they cook white rice, they also used small red flags to buy a lot of vegetables from the newsstand.
I fry one or two vegetables at every meal and eat them with white rice.
It looks like he's having a pretty good time.
On days like this, it's easy for the coolies in the old nest to forget that they are living in a wasteland.
Some coolies who have never been qualified to go out even have the idea of not wanting to leave their old nest until they die.
Instead, they do not envy those who desperately use fortified water to strengthen their bodies.
Since they have no desire to go out, they do not need to arm themselves.
But the coolies living on the garbage mountain do not have such a good life.
Through the young widow's secret efforts during this period, there are now nearly a thousand laborers working on the garbage mountain.
These people had no place to sleep, eat, drink, defecate or urinate.
They didn't even know how they got to the top of the garbage mountain.
The only good thing was that there were no strange beasts around the top of the garbage mountain where they were now.
If they found daily necessities on the top of the garbage mountain, they could exchange them for food with the occasional children.
In order to make it convenient for the children in the old nest, they went to the top of the garbage mountain to exchange daily necessities.
Shi Yuebai specially set up a teleportation array on the top of the garbage mountain.
This cost her about ten kilograms of energy, after all, the top of the garbage mountain was covered with messy cement and steel bars exposed outside the cement.
Shi Yuebai had to spend some effort to create a flat area on top of the garbage mountain.
So Shi Yuebai now only weighs 350 kilograms.
She thinks this little bit of fat is worth it.
Those who went to exchange supplies were all children. We couldn't let them climb up the top of the garbage mountain with their bare hands.
The entire garbage mountain was wet.
The melted snow outside will flow into the nest through the cracks in the garbage mountain.
Although those strands of melted snow will be absorbed by the osmanthus trees and Panax notoginseng.
But the current environment is not suitable for children to climb over the garbage mountain with their bare hands.
Those children who are able to go to the top of the garbage mountain have obtained permission from the school.
This is just like the practical tasks assigned to children in the school back home.
At this time every day, a few students on duty would be sent with prepared food to exchange for daily necessities.
The students on duty every day are different and are assigned according to their student numbers.
