Chapter 105: The Grain Depot
It was getting dark.
The farmer couple and Dong Xiaolan worked together to make a fire and cook.
Wang Shanshan originally wanted to help, but was stopped by Wang Peng.
Today, Wang Shanshan was also busy almost all day, first following the convoy for a long time, and then packing up the house, it was time to rest and rest.
Moreover, in his opinion, these survivors have been protected by him, and they should do their jobs.
Smoke curls and the smell of food wafts out.
Dong Xiaolan and the farmer couple were a little excited.
These days, there are maniacs everywhere outside, who dares to make a fire to cook?
Although they have a lot of vegetables and meat at home, they only dare to use rice cookers to stew rice and boil some porridge.
It's really not easy to finally get a decent bite of food right now.
The meal was ready, and the Red Police soldiers also received Wang Peng's order and came back one after another.
Several large tables used for banquets in the countryside were placed in the courtyard, and the external lights were turned on, without the slightest fear that the zombies would see the light source gathering.
Dozens of Red Guard soldiers sat around the table, although they all quietly did not say a word, but in a trance, Wang Peng had a feeling that he was not in the last days.
Wang Peng sat at the table, Wang Shanshan, Dong Xiaolan, and a family of three farmers.
Wang Peng already knew their names before.
In a family of three, the father's name is Zhao Xiang, the mother's name is Hu Manli, and their son's name is Zhao Yong.
Finding that he was actually sitting with Wang Peng, the commander of the entire unit, the family of three was a little frightened.
As peasants who have always worked diligently and diligently, they have not seen any big scenes, and in their opinion, a person who can command a troop of nearly 100 people is definitely a big official.
You must know that even if they are the village party secretaries in the village, they are not qualified to eat at the same table as others.
On the other side, Dong Xiaolan quickly got along with Wang Shanshan.
The age is similar, although the personality is slightly different, but they all belong to the type of hard work.
Dong Xiaolan and Wang Shanshan have a lot in common.
These topics are all among girls, and Wang Peng is bored when he listens to them.
Fortunately, he also had questions that he wanted to ask in detail.
"Zhao Xiang, do you know that there is a grain depot in the village with a large amount of grain and something like that?"
Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly said, "That...... Brother Wang, there is no grain depot in our village, and most of the grain is produced and sold, and only some of it is left for our own use. ”
Zhao Xiang's sentence Wang Peng's name is a little embarrassing, Zhao Xiang is almost ten years older than himself, it sounds too awkward.
"Just call me Team Wang." Wang Peng coughed and said, "Then do you know any nearby villages that have large grain depots?" ”
"If you want to talk about a large grain depot, it must be FC Town." Zhao Xiang said immediately.
"FC Town? In what place? Wang Peng asked again. Is there a lot of food there? ”
"FC Town is about 70 kilometers away from here." Zhao Xiang touched his chin and said. "As for the amount of grain, I don't know about this, anyway, it's a central grain reserve."
Central Grain Reserve Depot?
Wang Peng's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this.
Domestic grain reserves are roughly divided into central reserves and local reserves, the difference is only in the administrative division, the reserves of grain for many purposes, turnover regulation and control of grain prices, earthquake relief, strategic reserves, etc.
But there is no doubt that the amount of grain in a central grain reserve is absolutely unimaginable to him as an ordinary person.
Seventy kilometers...... If you drive, it will take you two hours to make a round trip, right? This is still the case of driving a small car, if you drive a heavy truck that pulls goods, I am afraid that the time will be longer.
Wang Peng frowned and pondered, and lit a cigarette with his hand.
Seeing the cigarette in Wang Peng's hand, Zhao Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up.
The slightly cloudy eyes stared directly at the cigarette on Wang Peng's fingertips, and his buttocks kept twisting on the stool.
His wife Hu Manli obviously knew nothing more about her own man, so she couldn't help glaring at him fiercely and stabbed Zhao Xiang with her elbow.
Zhao Xiang, who was in pain, couldn't help baring his teeth and grinning, but this appearance was seen by Wang Peng.
Wang Peng was also generous, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to Zhao Xiang.
He is not short of tobacco, on the contrary, because the supermarket can be taken casually, he only picks expensive ones, and he tastes all the things that he has never tasted before.
Zhao Xiang was overjoyed, hurriedly put away his cigarette and thanked Wang Peng again and again, then immediately lit one, took a deep breath, and then let out a comfortable moan.
"Ah......h
Obviously, Zhao Xiang is also an old smoker, who has been locked up at home for more than half a month, and I don't know how long the tobacco has been broken.
"Tomorrow you come with me to FC Town to step on the spot." Wang Peng said to Zhao Xiang.
Zhao Xiang was only slightly stunned, then nodded silently.
Although Wang Peng looks very easy to talk now, he still remembers the cold eyes of Wang Peng when he looked at them when he joined the gang before.
Zhao Xiang didn't dare to refuse, because he knew that if he refused, then the family of three would definitely be kicked out of here.
In fact, when Wang Peng asked, he could vaguely guess what Wang Peng wanted to do.
To be honest, he didn't particularly understand Wang Peng's behavior.
Although there is no grain storage in his town, there are more than 1,000 households in the whole village, with a total population of more than 5,000, and although it is not yet harvest season, each family should have enough grain to eat for their own families for about two to three months.
That's 5,000 people!
Wang Peng: There are less than 100 people, how can they worry about food?
And after waiting for a few months, when the autumn harvest comes, the farmer in the land will be ripe and ready to harvest!
Although this village does not have a lot of land, it is a village with a population of more than 5,000 people! Every year, more than thousands of tons of grain are produced.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, Zhao Xiang opened his mouth but didn't dare to ask.
Of course Wang Peng knows this truth, but how can there be a reason in the world that it is cheap and not taken advantage of?
This village has been regarded as a stronghold by him, and the materials of the entire village have basically been counted as his assets, but no one does not want more of his assets.
At present, there are still many survivors who have not reacted, and Wang Peng wants to take advantage of this time period to accumulate more capital.
As the saying goes, the vast accumulation of grain is slowly king.
Fuel, food, weapons, these are the most precious and important resources in the last days.
It must be firmly grasped in the hand.
……
After dinner, everyone went back to their houses to rest...... All human beings.
The Red Guard soldiers did not stop, and after eating, they continued to spread around the stronghold to the periphery to clean up the zombies.
Although the Red Guard soldiers also need to rest, their tenacity is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary humans.
Previously, Wang Peng found that these guys wore thick coats in the hot summer but did not sweat at all, and they could recover their energy with little sleep.
After having Eva, a radar soldier, Wang Peng's understanding of the Red Guard soldiers has also deepened a lot.
These Red Alert soldiers can stay energetic without sleeping for three days, and then only need five to six hours of sleep to recover.
The three-star elite is even more exaggerated, thanks to the mechanism of refreshing the whole body state every 12 hours, these three-star elites do not need to rest at all, or even consume food and water, they are almost like robots!
