Section 49: Credit (1)
Wu Nanhai, who received the call, hurriedly asked someone to turn the fire on the stove back and cook vigorously. The autumn temperature in Hainan is rarely lower than 256 degrees, and it is often nearly 30 degrees during the day. There was some food in the cafeteria for the night shift, but it really couldn't meet the demand. He hurriedly called out all the people who had gone back to rest. While cooking, he asked Hu Yicheng to count the food he needed.
A full pot of rice was made and immediately sent to the camp, and the rice for thirty people was immediately snatched up, and many people saw that this piece of paper could really buy rice, and no one bought porridge, and they all rushed to buy rice to eat. Hu Yicheng watched in disbelief as they gobbled up rice, and there were no vegetables to eat. He still remembers listening to stories like the story of the poor man's ambition when he was a child, and the protagonists were all "taking soy sauce bibimbap", which already felt very inhuman, and now these people don't even have a piece of salt, let alone soy sauce.
Seeing another guy squeeze up, poking his large wooden bowl in front of his eyes, and holding a work voucher in his hand, although he couldn't stop talking clearly, he could guess that he was talking "a bowl of rice". Hu Yicheng shook his head and added another bowl to him - this guy seems to be eating the fourth bowl, right? What a strongman.
Xiong Buyou was a little frightened and leaned closer to Wu De, and whispered, "Old Wu, is this eating too much?" Won't break them, will it? β
Wu De shook his head: "You can rest assured, the peasants can eat." The older generation in my hometown, there are many people who eat a pound for a meal. In the past, farmers had no oil and water to eat on weekdays, and they ate a lot of food. β
As he spoke, the consumption of food gradually decreased, and the number of people who bought salted fish increased, probably because he felt that he had to make a tooth sacrifice when he was full. Unfortunately, there are no salted fish in Wu Nanhai's canteen.
"The salted fish is gone, gone." Hu Yicheng shouted loudly, "Let's buy it tomorrow, it's all sold out today." β
Many people were disappointed when they heard that the salted fish was gone. The original noisy atmosphere has gradually cooled down.
"The fish are gone?" Ude ran over and asked.
"No, the inventory in the canteen is all gone, and I have to go to the Bopu tomorrow to get it." COAG has a seafood processing plant in Bopu.
"Nothing?"
Hu Yicheng spread his hands, "I misappropriated all the night shift food for the military team." I'll prepare some more for you tomorrow, anyway, the salted fish is super unpopular in the cafeteria. β
"You killed the fish once when it was caught, and you killed it again when it was cooked." Xiong Buyou said seriously.
Looking at the crowd that was slowly dispersing, Wu De instructed Lin Xing: "Tell everyone not to leave, how much you want to buy, calculate it, and pick them up immediately!" β
Hu Yicheng hurriedly said: "This can't be done. It's getting dark, how can I go to Bopu to pick up the goods now?! β
"I'll go myself." Wu De thought that this was a perfect opportunity to build credit, whether it was the work voucher itself or their group of "pirates", if they wanted to truly win the trust of the locals, they had to do what they said they would do - the smaller the matter, the more they had to make a gesture.
"It's too dangerous," Xiong Buyou hurriedly dissuaded him, "It will be dark in another half an hour, there are no street lights on the road, and the road is not safe." β
"It doesn't matter. It's good to use a car. Wu De said, and directly called Xiao Zishan, the internal affairs commissar, explained the situation, and asked for a car to go to Bopu. According to the security regulations of the military group, no one or car is allowed to enter the highway from half an hour before nightfall until dawn.
"Take salted fish?!" Xiao Zishan asked in surprise, "Just to get a bucket of salted fish?" β
"That's right! Very important. β
"Are you kidding? Isn't this thing going to be brought by the car tomorrow, and a special car will be sent to pick it up, not to mention that it's going to get dark now, even in broad daylight, and then the ears will be wasted? β
"It's not a waste!" Od elaborated on his thoughts and analyzed what he would expect to do well.
"That's a good word, but even if we supply it one night later, it won't collapse our credit. The store may be out of stock, and we don't have to do that. β
"I know if it's necessary!" Wu De became irritable, how can these bureaucrats understand how difficult it is to win people's hearts, it doesn't matter if the salted fish comes tomorrow, but the effect will not be as good as today. Trust is an extremely difficult thing to build, and such an opportunity should never be missed.
"Okay then." Hearing his repeated insistence, Xiao Zishan finally gave in, allocated him a Beijing 212, and instructed him to bring more things back since he went: "So as not to waste running empty." β
The jeep drove towards Bopu in the sunset sky. Wu De drove himself, accompanied by Wu Nanhai - he wanted to stop by to see the production status of the seafood factory.
Wu Nanhai took the opportunity in the car to demand that some peasants from the labor group be sent to the Committee of Agriculture, so that they would no longer be collective laborers, but would be permanent workers of the Committee.
"Okay, I'll ask the executive committee, and if you agree, I'll give you a few people. They are all actively asking to join the house. β
"Do you know how to farm?"
"Hehe, of course, the people of Lingao are basically farmers, except for that Zhang Xingjiao."
"Actually, I would prefer to have some children, so that I can teach them myself." Wu Nanhai changed the direction of the SKS in his arms, which was a little crowded in the cramped jeep canopy.
"No problem, I told you the inside scoop." Wu De pretended to be mysterious, "I'm going to send someone to Guangzhou soon." β
Wu Nanhai was taken aback: "How do you know?" I am one of the executive committees. β
"Don't forget that I'm from the military team," Wu De smirked slightly, "the people in the military team know everything nowβthey're informing Xi Ya to select security personnel." By the way, I heard that he is going too. β
"Then it's better to go to Beiwei."
"Beiwei trains every day and can't leave. And there is no more suitable military team than him. Oude saw the first tower he passed, and the people on it were signaling the lights, and he responded by turning off the lightsβtheir trip had been notified to the various turrets along the road.
"He has business experience. None of us veterans have ever done business, is that an advantage, and besides, he is also very positive. β
"Then I'll have to make an order for everything I want to buy." Wu Nanhai hurriedly took out a small notebook and remembered it.
"Don't worry, there are still debates about whether or not to go to Guangzhou, but now it looks like we have to go."
"That's an exaggeration. I have to go. β
"Not an exaggeration, I'll tell you the inside storyβ" said Ude in a whisper, "do you know the Yanma?" β
"You know, it's an American agent, right?"
"She is now assigned to the security team, giving classes and training to the people in the security team. The other day, she almost gave toβ" said Wude, smiling mysteriously.
"To what?" Wu Nanhai suddenly became nervous, "Killed?" β
"There are about 500 young men who have been poisoned by Japanese AV, living a boring life every day in this 17th-century wilderness, what do you think they will do?"
Wu Nanhai suddenly realized, and suddenly felt unbelievable.
"How is this possible!"
"It's possible, but the woman is skilled, not skilled." Wu De sighed, "Now this girl has become a hot potato for the executive committee." β
"Do you want to arrest someone?"
"Of course not." Wu De shook his head again and again, "I can't do it for such a foreigner to intensify the conflict." In fact, who did it Ran Yao will know the next day. β
"It's not good." Wu Nanhai was very disapproving, "In any time and space, this is an out-and-out crime!" The Executive Committee is conniving, and there will be endless troubles. β
"Accountability? Do you remember the tone set at the plenary session that year? 'All men are equal, but the traverser is more equal than the others. ββ
"That's right. Therefore, we have to protect the interests of the traverser, such a naked violation of a companion, or a woman-" Wu Nanhai suddenly stopped, is Sarina considered a traverser?!
"You remember." "There were seven people who were accidental stowaways, not traversals," said Ude meaningfully. β
"Can you absorb them? What's not to do. They, like us, are from the 21st century. Since you have arrived in this time and space, you can only start a business with us. β
"It's bad, it's bad, she's a foreigner." If you are not of my race, your heart will be different,' many people are probably thinking so. β
"This-" Wu Nanhai felt that this reason was too far-fetched, "even if you can't trust her, you won't want to ...... her"
Wu De smiled: "It's indeed a bit too much, after this incident, the executive committee made up its mind to send someone to Guangzhou as soon as possible." β
Wu Nanhai suddenly felt goosebumps: "My God, you're going to buy a woman?!" β
Wu De smiled mysteriously and continued driving, but it was tantamount to acquiescing to this statement.
"But I'm not interested in the women of this plane at all. If I want a woman, I have to raise it from Lori. β
"For me, I'm happy to have a woman who can help me cook and do my laundry." Wu De sighed, "When is this day of washing clothes and eating in the canteen by ......yourself?"
The two of them talked, and soon arrived at Bopu, took a few buckets of salted fish, tied them to the car, and immediately rushed back. It was already dark, the road was pitch black, and it was not difficult to drive with the lights on, and the lights of the turrets along the road became the beacon to guide them, and they returned to the camp all the way.
The laborers who had dispersed were reassembled, and a bucket of salted fish was opened. Wu De told them with full anger: open supply, buy as much as you want. The laborers hesitated for a moment, but not many came up to buy them. Someone carefully wrapped the rest of the voucher in rags and hid it in his clothes. Ma Pong was one of themβhe thought, he had to call the family over for a meal.
