Since Yu Niang moved to the town to reunite with her family, Ke Junxia's food standards have dropped sharply, and those delicious and delicious dishes have never appeared on his table again. At the same time, he also disbanded the maid team created by Yu Niang, and then went to eat in the cafeteria like everyone in the core area.

The canteen in the core area has always been in charge of Hao Qiying's wife, who used to think it tasted good, but since ancient times, it has been difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and Ke Junxia can eat a sad face in the first few days, but fortunately, he is a person who can endure hardships after all, and gradually, he slowly adapted.

But today, in the face of the two foods on the table, he once again lost his appetite.

The dry food on the plate was black on the outside, and the slices were more than an inch thick, and the surface was rough and coffee-colored, looking like slices of bread, but the quality was like bricks.

The drink is orange-yellow in color, and you can faintly see something like bran mixed in, and occasionally a string of bubbles will emerge from the bottom of the jar.

Together, these two things make for a quintessential dark dish.

But this is not over, Zhuang Tianya saw that Ke Junxia had no appetite, so he said: "Actually, there are hot dishes, we call it fortress soup"

As he spoke, he was served, and it was steaming, and there was actually a bit of the aroma of the dishes.

Zhuang Tianya personally served two spoonfuls for Ke Junxia.

The soup is really thick, dark yellow in color, and there are some plant tubers in it.

Ke Junxia stirred it with a spoon and found that there were still some pieces of minced meat in it, so he drank half a spoonful and found that the taste was much better than the appearance, and his facial expression relaxed.

Zhuang Tianya had been observing Ke Junxia's expression, and when he saw that his expression had changed, he said happily, "It's not bad." Bisque, Egyptian beer with Russian rusks, very forbidden to be hungry. In mass production, we can feed almost everyone, both inside the town and outside the walls. ”

Ke Junxia laboriously cut a small piece of rusk with a knife, soaked it in a thick soup and filled it with soup, and then put it in his mouth.

The rusks are hard and have a noticeable sour taste, but they are still good to eat.

Since he had already eaten two of the three relief foods, Ke Junxia simply took two sips of Egyptian beer, which tasted sweet, because it was very thick, so it didn't look like it was a bit like eight-treasure porridge.

Zhuang Tianya said: "Like regular beer, Egyptian beer can solve most of the drinking water problems and can provide antibiotics. ”

"What about the expiration date," Ke Junxia asked.

This question was answered by Zhuang Tianya's side, a guy with serious bows and glasses: "The rated shelf life of Russian rusks is half a year, in fact, if it is placed in a ventilated and dry place, it can be eaten in three or five years." Egyptian beer has a shelf life of only three days, while the soup is fresh, and the mixed vegetable soup is just starch. ”

Zhuang Tianya hurriedly introduced: "This is Professor Ulanqab of the Department of History of Metropolitan University. ”

Ke Junxia smiled: "I know, I once had the privilege of listening to your class. ”、

Professor Ulanqab felt very honored, and wiped his hands on his pants before he came up and shook Ke Junxia's hand.

Ke Junxia asked: "Rusks solve most of the food ration problems, but the thick soup and Egyptian beer depend on productivity, and I'm worried that we won't be able to take out so many things to feed the victims." ”

Professor Ulanqab took out another brick from the cloth pocket under his feet and said, "This can be solved." ”

Ke Junxia took the brick, sniffed it, knocked it again, and asked, "Is this ......?"

Professor Ulanqab said: "This is a recombination of the relief food I have based on the military rations and other types of food in the Earth era, and I call it porridge bricks. ”

"Porridge bricks?"

"Yes, it is mainly made of high-yielding vegetables such as radish, supplemented by a small amount of staple food, as well as tempeh, bean cake and salt, after braising and drying and other processes, such a brick can be cooked into a pot of gruel, which can meet the minimum nutritional needs of ten people." Ulanqab proudly said, "If you don't boil a piece, you can taste it." ”

Ke Junxia waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, no, it's very good." "I secretly said in my heart: I still like normal food.

Ke Junxia picked up a document and said to Professor Ulanqab: "You filled in the long-term residence application on the relocation application. In fact, I think that a talented person like you is fully qualified to move to other city-states, why choose Fort Town. ”

Professor Ulanqab said: "I can walk, but in my life, except for teaching and educating people, I have not done anything big. ”

Ke Junxia praised: "Sure enough, he is a professor, and his name is well deserved, and your family is still outside the wall?" ”

"Oh, I met my old friend, Professor Irina, who took good care of my family. ”

Ke Junxia immediately made a few phone calls, asking the customs to immediately handle the relocation procedures for Professor Ulanqab's family, and asked Shang Ming to arrange the accommodation of Professor Ulanqab's family, and immediately put the construction of the food processing plant on the agenda, but the workers will take care of the Shui family first. Since the last time I came back from the canal construction site, the people who had been sheltered by the Mengshui family and the old and weak domestic servants had moved to Fort Town, many of whom had worked in the kitchen and now worked in the food factory, which was also a professional counterpart.

Finally, Ke Junxia issued an order appointing Professor Ulanqab as the head of the education and food research and development department in Fort Town. After all, the population of Fort Town has been increasing, and basic education and skills education are also imminent.

When sending Professor Ulanqab out of the core area, Ke Junxia advised: "Now that there is a shortage of various talents in Fortress Town, I wonder if the professor can call some colleagues and classmates to come over to help?" ”

Professor Ulanqab shook his head and said, "Colleagues with some skills have their own places to go, and as for the students, ......," he said, and he sighed and continued: "They are all busy catching spies." ”

Professor Ulanqab said this, Ke Junxia is not strange at all, he has also sent invitation letters to many students, but there are few applicants, it seems that overnight, these days of pride have changed their temperament, do not like to engage in construction, but like to catch spies.

Speaking of catching spies, it was only rumored at first that the disaster of the metropolis was actually a conspiracy of other city-states, because the metropolis was too rich for others to look up to.

These rumors were in the early days, and anyone with a little brains listened to them and laughed at them, but these days they are getting more and more intense, and even the media has published special issues with articles written with noses and eyes, while some young people have seen the opportunity and began to make a living by catching spies, which also inevitably involves lynching and bloodshed, but in this smell of blood, people have forgotten to deal with the threat of impending disaster.

There were also these messages in the fortress town and outside the wall, and Ke Junxia was not easy to resist, so he had to put forward a slogan, "Take disaster prevention and mitigation as the first priority." ”

But this rumor has already undermined disaster preparedness, and some city-states and charities have used it as an excuse to reduce or stop the distribution of relief supplies, which in turn has caused a backlash from "catching spies", creating a vicious circle. Last week, Li Kaiwen reported to Ke Junxia that the inflow of various disaster relief funds and materials had decreased by nearly 30%.

"It's not enough." Ke Junxia can only scold like this sometimes, but he has no means to deal with this invisible monster at all, so he can only ask the two media in Fortress Town to stick to their principles and not post these unfounded things.

At the suggestion of Professor Ulanqab, Ke Junxia sent capable men with recipes for rusks and porridge bricks to various city-states and charities to obtain foreign production and donations in the form of patent exchanges. Due to the different resources at the disposal of various city-states and charities, the taste of rusks and porridge bricks is also different, but it makes up for the lack of productivity in Fort Town, and in a short period of time, Bastion Town's disaster relief food reserves have increased significantly.

But at this time, several major media in the metropolis suddenly spoke out collectively, saying that Fort Town is the biggest spy nest in the metropolis, and Ke Junxia is the biggest spy, and the evidence is that they colluded with other city-states to use old grains, broken rice bones, and radish tassels to make so-called disaster relief junk food, and make huge profits from it.

Although other city-states and charities have issued statements that it is true that the disaster relief food is made with inferior raw materials, no one makes a profit from it, and they have signed an agreement that Professor Ulanqab's two recipes will always be used only for disaster relief and will always be distributed free of charge.

But such a life still can't stop the noise inside the metropolis, and there are provocateurs outside the wall, deliberately spreading rumors and creating trouble in the crowd, so that there are two more storms on the customs, and Irina is forced to close the green leaf branch outside the wall.

"Looks like someone has to take care of the outside of the wall." Ke Junxia sighed at the core meeting.

But this is easier said than done, and it is not easy to manage so many people with ten times the population outside the walls than inside the walls.

Lin Quan suggested sending people outside the wall to lock up all the affairs outside the wall and create a "new boundary".

This is not impossible, but it is too costly, and there are not so many cadres to be dispatched.

Irina followed Lin Quan's words and said: "It is necessary to send people, but how to send and who to send is a problem. The good thing is that we don't need to have much control outside the walls, just have the power to control it. ”

This sentence woke up Ke Junxia, and his eyes lit up and said, "Your Excellency, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Irina nodded and said, "Yes, but it's weak, and it's a little understaffed." ”

Ke Junxia said: "As long as you know what kind of person you want to find, everything will be easy." He immediately revised another principle of relocation and handed it to Manida, who was stunned when she saw it.

Ke Junxia said with a smile: "If there are such people who are stranded first, let's get together two hundred people first." How long will it take? ”

Manida said, "Three days. ”

Ke Junxia was a little strange: 'Three days, is the composition of the emigrants so complicated now? ’

Manida said: "No, we used to refuse this kind of person, and many of them are still stranded outside the wall, and it takes a day or two to look through the files and arrest people, and then they can be recovered." ”

Ke Junxia rubbed his hands happily and said, "I see, then do it immediately, and let Gongsun Shu's police force also come to assist you." Sure enough, there is no river in the world that cannot be crossed. ”
