Chapter VII Tucker Base 7

The family thought about it, and finally decided to go back to eat, in this canteen full of officers and officers' families, they always felt out of place, and the restraint was uncomfortable.

I used to bring food, how easy it was! But in this situation, if you want to use plastic bags or disposable lunch boxes to pack meals, you can't even think about it. After all, there's no company making this thing right now!

If you want to bring food back, you can, you have to bring your own lunch box, the same back.

There was no way, so I could only go back and get the bowl, but as a result, Xiao Cao left a sentence: "Chief, I'll go!" "And he ran away.

Holding the bowl, he walked to the front of the window, the female chef in her 30s who was in charge of cooking at the window smiled and nodded, it was a greeting, Li Jie also nodded, he noticed that everyone who had eaten before, every dish would come a little, and there were not many dishes, and it was just the appearance of a big chopsticks, especially green vegetables, which gave the least. And there are a lot of staple foods, two steamed buns, six taels of rice, not enough to add.

After eating, when he got home, Li Jie couldn't wait to start eating, this bite, his eyes lit up, and the braised pork was fine, especially this crispy dried white radish, it was simply an artifact for eating!

And the long-lost green vegetables made Li Jie's stomach cheer!

The worst thing is that when the vegetable oil is in short supply, it has to be fried with lard, and it is not used to eating it once in a while, but it is not used to eating it every day, especially if it is eaten slowly, the vegetables are cold, and the lard is ......

Forget it, I can't say, I can't say! It's a hundred times better than those who are hungry.

Right now, this piece of small green vegetables really makes the family eat happily.

"Hey, we Chinese people just can't do it, unlike foreigners who can eat meat, we don't eat vegetables for a few days, it's uncomfortable." Li Jianguo said while eating.

"In the early years, that fat oil was a hot commodity, but now it's good, no one is happy to eat it! Back then, take a white steamed bun, sandwich it with lard, and a little salt, not to mention how fragrant it is......" Zeng Aiguo was saying, Han Caixia next to her glared at her, and said angrily: "As long as you can, that's okay, don't eat the vegetables, Li Jie, get pork, I'll get lard for your father, give him a bun to eat, let's divide the dishes!" ”

"Hey, you say you, I'll tell you what's wrong......" Zeng Aiguo was shocked, and hurriedly stuffed the vegetables in the bowl into his mouth in two bites, lest he be snatched away by his wife.

"It's not that I'm talking about you, you look at people's pickled radish, we don't have radish, why do we just fry it every time, or stew meat, no, you have to pickle some radish for us!" Zeng Aiguo was eating vegetables while muttering a little bit in his mouth.

"It's just you!" Han Caixia complained and secretly thought about it, how could she forget about pickles......

……

After eating, the time was already half past six in the afternoon, the sky had darkened, there was a TV in the living room, turned on the TV, and it was playing idol dramas from previous years, but there were three channels in total, playing three completely different dramas, idols, ancient costumes, and jubilant......

The family watched for a while, felt bored, and finally decided to go back to their rooms to sleep. Li Jie took out a few apples from the game, cut them into pieces, got a few sugar cane, and handled them cleanly, and then called the two guards in the house, Xiaocao and Xiaoma, to him: "Come, let's have nothing to talk about." Tell me about the basic situation of our Tucker City, of course, you don't have to talk about the confidential information. ”

"Hey, we don't know anything about confidentiality, so I'll introduce you." When Xiao Ma heard this, he agreed with a smile, and pulled Xiao Cao, who was a little restrained, and the three of them sat on the sofa together and talked about the general situation of the base.

Most of the Chinese people are delicious, as the old saying goes, the people take food as the sky. To a certain extent, the pursuit of food runs through the life of Chinese people.

Therefore, for people who are not familiar with it, if you choose to start with food, Li Jie will start to chat.

The food at the base is quite delicious, especially green vegetables and dried radish, but from another point of view, the canteen in the compound of the dignified military region has only three dishes, which has become Li Jie's slot.

"Hey, don't you know, we don't have a shortage of food, the 533rd Army transported a lot of grain from the reserve warehouse before, and the train kept day and night, pulling it over with a clatter, and I couldn't finish eating!" Ma Xiaodong ate a few bites of apples and began to talk about the food at the base.

"Let's talk about vegetables, don't look at us in the desert, it stands to reason that our technology is not my blow, turning the desert into fertile land, we are mature in this technology, but it's a pity, alas, ......"

"Pity? What a pity? Li Jie wondered.

"It's a pity, we have the technology to grow a dealer, but God doesn't agree!" Xiao Cao bowed his head and said.

"Can you still grow a dealer in the desert? It's great to plant some saxon grass, right? Li Jie didn't believe it when he heard this.

"Really! Don't believe it, we have accumulated technology in this area before, and we only need a special thing, mixed with sand, and then water this field, and the sand in this field will condense into a ball, with, well, Lao Cao, what kind of sex? ”

"Strengthen the bond between the grit." Cao Siyuan added.

"Oh, yes, binding, that way, I heard that I could grow crops anyway!" Ma Xiaodong said with some pride and regret.

"Did you end up getting it? Didn't make it? Li Jie immediately realized that this might not happen.

"Hey, it's not a lack of water, it was originally detected, this underground contains a lot of groundwater that can be used, two deep wells were drilled at that time, both came out of the water, and then the wells were drilled, all of them were saltwater, experts said that there are multiple aquifers or something below, anyway, I don't quite understand, the final result is that our fresh water is barely enough to eat and drink, and domestic water can only be made with simply treated salty water. It's just that in this way, there is no way to do the work of transforming the soil. Ma Xiaodong sighed and said what he knew.

"Then where did the greens we ate today come from?" Li Jie asked with some surprise.

"This is a laboratory product of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, using soilless cultivation and drip irrigation, produced on a small scale, and the leaders above said that they must let everyone have vegetables on their tables, so they can get it. After all, it's not good to eat war-ready meat all the time, and it's not okay to eat steamed buns. Ma Xiaodong explained

Li Jie's eyes kept hearing this, and the braised pork he ate today was war-ready meat? The so-called zombie meat?

Thinking of this, Li Jie's throat was a little tight, and his face turned a little pale all of a sudden.

"Oops, leader, it's not as exaggerated as you think, hehe!" Seeing Li Jie's face change, Xiao Ma immediately reacted, smiled a little, and then explained: "At the beginning of this, the leaders above also explained that the so-called war-ready meat is the same as grain, and the new is replaced by the old, so the war-ready meat we eat now has only been put for three years at most, and it is not as exaggerated as it is said on TV. However, at that time, we were also frightened, and many people did not want to eat it, but later it was the leaders of the government 1 government who personally demonstrated on TV and ate this meat, and everyone accepted it. ”

……

After a brief chat and eating half of the fruit, Li Jie asked the two of them to divide the other half among the two guards standing guard at the door, and then went back to the room to sleep.

……

"Daughter-in-law, do you want to wash your name?" Li Jie smiled at Zeng Pei, who was lying on the bed reading a book.

Zeng Pei was turning on the desk lamp at the moment, lying on the one-meter-eight bed, comfortably looking at a magazine that he found out of nowhere. Enjoy this rare time of relaxation.

"Huh? Okay, sweaty, then you can get me water. Zeng Pei didn't raise his head when he heard this, but just agreed softly.

"Quack ~ I'm going to go, there is a separate bathroom in the house to take a bath, I just looked, there is just a bathtub, let's ...... Hey~~" Li Jie smiled...... Very indecent!

Zeng Pei finally realized Li Jie's bad intentions, raised his head, glanced at Li Jie, and sneered: "Get out!" ”

"Gotcha! This will give you water and wait for you to bathe! ”

……

Early the next morning, the new mobile phone (issued by entering the base city) came with a soft "pop" sound, Li Jie was awakened by this sound, and he got out of bed and stood still, his eyes were wide open, and he looked around nervously, only to find out after a while that the environment he was in was safe, so he was soft, relaxed suddenly, and fell on the bed again, waking up Zeng Pei next to him.

said hello to Zeng Pei, picked up the phone and saw that it was a text message, which made Li Jie miss it very much.

When I opened the message, I was informing myself that I would call back after waking up and take myself to the laboratory building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to visit and familiarize myself with the environment.

"Look, good guy, so considerate, and contact when you wake up!" Li Jie sighed with some emotion, and said to Zeng Peixian next to him. At the same time, I thought of the miserable situation of going to work before, how could I sleep at that time, that is, let you go at what time, you have to go, if you don't go, you will deduct the money, and if you are not happy, get out!

"It's still cool to be an official!!" Muttered, Li Jie stretched his waist comfortably, poofed, and fell back to bed again, intending to sleep again!

"Oops! What are you doing! His ears suddenly hurt, and Li Jie hurriedly grinned and asked the culprit next to him.

"Can you be more conscious, people have given you face?" Zeng Pei laughed and scolded.

"Gotta got, you let go, I'm going to do it, hey, hard work, work during the day, and have to... Ah! A pillow smashed against Li Jie's face, and he had no choice but to smirk and run away.

When he came out, the table was already set up with breakfast, full head, porridge, and pickles.

"Hey, who's going to get the food?" Li Jie asked with some surprise.

"Report! I took a taxi, I saw that it was time to eat, and everyone didn't get up, so I went to eat. Cao Siyuan saw Li Jie ask, and replied a little nervously.

"Well, you don't need to stand upright, you don't need to stand upright, just ask, hey, I've worked hard for you, we can just cook by ourselves." Li Jie hurriedly said. He found that Cao Siyuan, this kid is really sincere, he is a good guard, how can he do all this work, he is a little embarrassed to bully others.

After looking at the meal, I couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, "Damn, you don't even have an egg?" Li Jie muttered a little depressedly.

"Oh, good my leader, eggs are a rare thing now, our entire Tucker City, it is estimated that there are breeding farms and breeding centers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this has just started breeding, if you want to eat eggs, I'm afraid it will take some days!" On the side, Ma Xiaodong, who was familiar with himself, smiled with a smile.

"Hey! Let's start raising chickens?! Li Jie was a little surprised, woke up the family, and then went to the kitchen to get a few eggs and cook them for everyone. ”

"Report! No questions guaranteed! Ma Xiaodong's eyes widened when he saw the eggs, thinking of Li Jie's specialness and the advice of his superiors, he hurriedly stood up and assured.

"Come on. Eat! ”

……

After eating breakfast, the four old men began to serve Xiao Chen Xi, who was tossing, boiling water to dry, making milk powder, and changing diapers...... Zeng Pei put his hand on the side, Li Jie looked at this scene, sighed secretly in his heart, and then put a smile on his face again: "Walk!" The two of them take care of the house, and the two of them come with me! ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, listen to me, go to the office building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to report now, how big of a deal can it be?" Li Jie persevered.

"It's... Be! ”

In the end, Li Jie arranged for Cao Siyuan and another guard surnamed Li to be in charge of the house, and Ma Xiaodong and Mao Tianyu followed Li Jie to report to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

If you want to say why you didn't go to the army to report, but went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences instead, Li Jie is like a mirror in his heart, he is a major general, to put it bluntly, he just enjoys the treatment of a major general, and his main role is still to cooperate with the research, this point, he still has it in his heart.

Li Jie didn't take a car, Li Jie thought it was too ostentatious, but he also hoped to ride a bicycle and feel the face of this new city.

At this moment, it was about 9 o'clock in the morning, and there were no people on the street, only a few people were in a hurry on their bicycles, thinking that they were going out on business.

Few roadside shops are open, and almost all of them are closed.

"Hey, pony, why aren't the shops on the side of the road open?" Li Jie asked with some confusion.

"Oh, now, let's arrange jobs for the survivors here, the units are basically in charge of food, these small shops, basically run by amateurs, most of the transactions are their own personal belongings, and they are mainly open after work." Seeing this, Ma Xiaodong hurriedly explained.

Li Jie immediately understood, in the current situation, the vast majority of people still do not know where to hide to survive, this base city has just been established, the whole system is not perfect, and it is not possible to rely on the market economy. Therefore, the Sure part has adopted the model of a planned economy, where everyone is given a job, but part-time jobs are also allowed, and resignation is allowed to go to sea, as long as you have a way.

The current currency is mainly a series of bills such as food stamps and water stamps, which can be exchanged for various daily necessities from the official shopping mall, replacing the original currency and forming the most basic monetary system of the base.

This temporary, transitional quasi-currency, although imperfect, is not a few people who dare to make any moths.

……

Observing and thinking all the way, Li Jie suddenly discovered that the social state at this time was very similar to the period when China had just established a country!

Food stamps, planned economy, unified production......

With Li Jie's cranky thoughts all the way, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has arrived.
