Chapter 53: Do what you like
The dark night fell again, the laborers were like ants returning to the nest, finishing the day's work, and at the same time, Chen Chong also set off from his residence and came to the power station.
Chen Chong stood at the door of the power station fence with the package in his hand and took a deep breath.
Today is the fourth day of his vigil at the power station. During these four days, there was not enough nutrition and energy supplementation, and the progress of the [Ultimate Immeasurable Qigong] cultivation was very slow. The two meals a day provided by the territory were simply not enough to support his cultivation at such a high intensity, and he was in a state of hunger for almost half of the day, without a large amount of nutrients and energy supplements, the process of refining and refining qi could be said to be half the effort.
The implementation of [electrotherapy] is imminent!
After the first three days of getting along, Chen Chong found that Old Man Xu was quite honest and had no tricky intentions, and decided to start the next plan.
With the help of the street lamp at the gate of the power station, Chen Chong inadvertently glanced at the faint figure passing in the darkness in the distance with the corner of his eye.
That's naturally the dog leg of the Overseer Captain Yin Tiger, Weide. Chen Chong always knew that Wei De and Lu Kai were taking turns spying on him, but this kind of surveillance seemed to be just to prevent him from escaping from the territory at night, and their stalking skills were so poor that Chen Chong's perception was so keen that it was difficult to find out.
With a sneer in his heart, Chen Chong walked into the gate of the power station with the package in his hand.
When he came to the boiler room with hot gas and roaring machinery, Chen Chong saw that Old Man Xu was still sloppy and sloppy and walked around with his hands behind his back, looking east and west from time to time, as if he was checking something.
"Boy, why are you here. ”
Old man Xu was pulling the wire with insulated gloves, and when he heard the movement, he turned around and saw that it was Chen Chong, and suddenly said with a strange face:
"It's an hour before your vigil. ”
"I've slept enough in my room, I'm getting rusty. ”
Chen Chong lifted the package in his hand, took out a small bottle from it, shook it in front of Old Man Xu, and smiled mysteriously:
"I have something good, do you want to try it?"
What he took out was naturally the small bottle of alcohol in the quota of materials he received.
As soon as he saw the thing in Chen Chong's hand, Old Man Xu's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he obviously recognized it:
"Alcohol?"
Don't look at Old Man Xu is not an awakened person, nor does he have any combat effectiveness, in fact, because of his skills in electrical engineering, he also enjoys a material quota of half a captain. Aside from the fact that there was no spiritual fruit, there was not much difference, and his material quota naturally included a small bottle of alcohol.
However, for Old Man Xu, alcohol is not used for wound disinfection, but for drinking.
Old man Xu has no other hobbies, the only thing is to drink like his life. Of course, this small bottle of alcohol cannot be drunk directly, but when mixed with a lot of water, it is wine, although it is the worst wine, but it is rare enough to be drunk and die in this era.
Staring at the alcohol in Chen Chong's hand, Old Man Xu felt like he was being itched by a cat's claw. Among the material quotas he distributes every half a month, his most precious thing is the small bottle of alcohol, which is also the first to be consumed. Even if he mixes a little bit of alcohol with a lot of water and saves it, he won't be able to drink it all up for a few days, and now when he sees the alcohol in Chen Chong's hand, the wine worm in his stomach is suddenly hooked out, how can he not be excited?
"Hey...... You're a ...... kid."
Old man Xu revealed his true form, rubbed his hands back and forth, and said with a smile:
"How can I be embarrassed by that?"
Seeing Old Man Xu's twisted attitude, Chen Chong couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Old Xu, what are you pretending? You should have water here to make it, right?"
Knowing that Old Man Xu was good at wine was also Chen Chong's guess. A few days ago, when Yin Hu took him to Old Man Xu's room, he vaguely smelled a faint smell of alcohol, so he only tried it today, but he didn't expect to fall into his arms.
"Wait for me, boy, I'll take water and redeem it!"
Old man Xu screamed, changed his usual slow movements, took three steps and disappeared into the boiler room, and after a while, he ran out in a hurry, and when he ran out, there was already a plastic bottle with a volume of about one liter in his hand, which seemed to contain half a bottle of water.
Old man Xu said to Chen Chong as if offering a treasure, "This is the distilled water I secretly saved from the boiler, it is absolutely clean!"
Chen Chong generously handed over the whole bottle of alcohol: "You come, let's redeem it!"
Old man Xu immediately took it with a smile, unscrewed the lid and poured all the alcohol into the plastic bottle containing distilled water, and then shook it vigorously.
After shaking for a while, Old Man Xu opened the cap of the bottle again, sniffed deeply, and the old man showed a satisfied look on his face.
This small bottle of alcohol is only 100 ml, and the distilled water in the bottle is half a liter, and the two are only equivalent to 20 degrees of liquor at most after mixing.
"Come on. ”
Chen Chong suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and then took out a large piece of jerky from the package:
"It's not okay to have wine without meat, so let's find a place!"
"Boy, are you so generous?"
Seeing the air-dried meat pieces that Chen Chong took out again, Old Man Xu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask vigilantly:
"Nothing to do, either treachery or theft, boy, let's just say, did you poke some leak in the territory and want the old man to help you solve it? Let me tell you first, in this territory, out of this power plant, the old man and I are not a fart, if there is any trouble, I can't help you!"
Chen Chong grinned:
"Lao Xu, you think too much, what trouble can I get into? When I first arrived, I just wanted to find someone to talk about the situation of the territory, and by the way, I asked you a few questions about the electrician, and I just learned a little bit of ability. ”
I see.
Old man Xu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's not a problem, take it to my house, let's talk while drinking!"
Old man Xu didn't have any idea of cherishing himself. In fact, the operation of the entire power station and power grid is complex and abnormal, and it requires advanced knowledge and experience in electrical engineering to play, and no one in the entire Crimson Territory can replace his current position. Even if he teaches him everything, he is not a professional and has not gone through many years of study, and what he can master is very limited.
Chen Chong followed behind Old Man Xu and came to the small room in the far corner of the warehouse.
The room was littered with wires and bits and pieces, except for a bed and a table. Old man Xu pulled the table to the side of the bed, and then turned out two cups with twisted mouths from nowhere, and poured the wine into the glasses.
Old man Xu couldn't wait to raise his glass to Chen Chong:
"Boy, meeting is fate, cheers!"
Chen Chong also raised his glass, his eyes flickered, and he smiled:
"Cheers. ”
