119. Chapter 119: The Difference Between Useful and Useless
Rogge knew that Ding Chen had completely confused capital, and he couldn't compare to this, so he had to look at Ding Chen helplessly and ask, "Should I ask Carlo?" ā
"I'll take you there in a moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Ding Chen said: "Let's get so many things down from the mountain. I haven't paid Carlo yet. He said: "I don't know how much contribution I can exchange, so it should be no problem to spend the winter." ā
The autumn harvest was basically over before the arrival of Ye Tianlong's caravan, and only some finishing work was left for women and children to participate, which was an opportunity for them to brush up their contributions, after all, these people did not have independent survival skills, and if the apartment did not support them, there would be no way to survive the winter.
Because of this reason, the canteen no longer provides collective meals, and only those who have received the labor notice on the same day will have free meals, including Luo Li's share. Originally, if Rogge didn't follow Ding Chen, she would be on this list, but since she was more willing to become a soldier, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
However, during this time, people were busy participating in collective labor, and they did not have time to go out and find food on their own. So many people still habitually come down to eat their own contribution points.
Basically, this is the case at this time of year, and everyone is already experienced, so Carlo has prepared a lot of food in advance, most of which is made when the supplier team is in charge. The staple food is potatoes and polenta, accompanied by a variety of pickles, and the style is also rich, but the energy that can be provided is limited, and it is a standard diet meal before the end of the world.
Before the large-scale fishing and hunting activities began, meat, poultry and eggs had to wait for Shen Qing's work to get on the right track.
Daddy has already exchanged a batch of eggs and a few chickens from Xu Shuidong in the old city. Shen Qing has been busy incubating eggs these days to see if he can hatch chicks. Winter is not a good time for breeding, hens usually refuse to hold the nest, so they need to be artificially hatched, Shen Qing found a room on the westernmost side of the fifth floor, lit a stove to keep warm, in order to control the temperature of the furnace, every day to boil the eyes red, this is still the result of the help of his wife and daughters. If it were on his own, I'm afraid he would hang up before the chick came out.
Shen Qing is very clear about his positioning, if he can't make a name for himself in breeding, even if his signboard is smashed, whether the family can live a good life depends on him, so naturally he doesn't dare to relax. This is also the helplessness of men in the last days.
Li Xiang and the others were not idle, and were preparing to use their spare time to go into the mountains to catch some wild boar cubs, hares, pheasants and other animals, and let Shen Qing try to raise them to supplement the meat here in the apartment.
Zhu Yu was busy organizing people to repair the fishing nets and then go to the lake to fish.
To be honest, Ding Chen has always wanted to know what kind of blow the former breeding industry here in the apartment has suffered before it will be wiped out. However, this question seems to involve the cause of Ye Dai's father's death, so Ye Dai doesn't want to say more. Ding Chen has never found the opportunity to ask others, so he can only keep his doubts in his heart.
After seeing that the crowd at the bar had decreased significantly, Ding Chen walked over with Rogge, ready to ask Carlo about the balance on the two of them.
Carlo was busy in a hurry, and after hearing Ding Chen's intention, he glanced at him angrily, waved his hand and said, "Don't you see that I'm busy here?" I'll talk about it when I'm done eating. As he spoke, he turned around and served food to the three of them.
Ding Chen knew what Rogge was worried about, so he shouted to Carlo: "I'll invite them to dinner." ā
Carlo glanced up at him, shook his head and said, "Luo Li is going to the field today, and the apartment is in charge of the meal." ā
Ding Chen smiled and didn't speak. He admired Carlo's memory. This little girl is a natural financial officer with a pretty good memory. There are more than 100 people in the apartment, but she never mistakes everyone's work schedule for the day.
Moreover, there is no strict standard for calculating the management contribution value in many cases, but under Carlo's operation, few people have heard doubts.
In an era of food scarcity, there were no many dishes to choose from, and they were all designed to fill the stomach. So whether it is a person like Luo Li who eats a working meal or a diner like Ding Chen who pays out of his own pocket, what can be eaten is the same, at most the amount is different.
By the time the three of them returned to the table with their plates, the first group of people who had come down to eat had finished their meals and began to leave, and by the time they had eliminated their share of food and sent the dishes back, Carlo had finally made time. Holding a thick stack of ledgers, she said to Rogge, "Your contribution on the books is mainly from the experimental corn thresher, which adds up to enough for two meals." But what you brought back this time hasn't been accounted for, and I'll have to calculate it before I can tell you. ā
So Rogge immediately turned his head to look at Ding Chen, she had already heard Zheng Yu say that when she went out on a mission, in addition to specifying the things to bring back, the extra harvest could be owned by the individual, or handed over to the apartment in exchange for contribution points. This time when they went out, the main harvest for her and Zheng Yu was a rifle and some daily necessities each.
According to Zheng Yu, daily necessities are not valuable, and it is better to keep them for yourself than to hand them over. However, the rifle can be exchanged for a lot of contribution points. However, Zheng Yu did not lack this, so he planned to keep the rifle for his own use.
And the crane and the things on the car that Ding Chen got back are obviously impossible to keep for their own use, and they must be handed over. Zheng Yu and Rogge, as participants in this operation, can naturally get a share. It depends on how many things Ding Chen is going to hand in, and what proportion he is going to divide with them.
So after Carlo finished speaking, the two women went to see Ding Chen together. Facing the eyes of the two beauties, Ding Chen had no choice but to raise his hand in surrender and said to Carlo: "I'll give you a list when I go back." ā
"Are you okay with writing?" Carlo asked curiously, "Do you want me to go with you?" ā
Ding Chen stroked his forehead and sighed, thinking that fortunately he didn't catch up with the opportunity to cancel the Chinese language in the college entrance examination, and finally had the ability to pull the list by himself.
He asked Carlo, "How much does that crane contribute?" ā
Carlo glanced at him, "It depends on whether this car can be used in the future." If you can't use it, you don't have any contribution value at all. She said very seriously: "The supplies in the apartment are limited, and they will not be spent on useless things. ā
"I understand!" Ding Chen said: "Isn't it that the landlord's family has no surplus grain? ā
Carlo is worthy of being a character who is familiar with thousands of books, and he actually knows the meaning of the word landlord very well, nodding and saying, "That's what it means." ā
So Ding Chen looked at Rogge with a sad face, "You should go with me for a while!" ā
"Where to go?" Rogge, who was wondering how to get food, asked suspiciously. If Ding Chen wants to go out to hunt, she will definitely follow. I believe that with Ding Chen's ability, it is not difficult to save enough food before winter. The problem is that according to Rogge's observation, Ding Chen does everything, that is, he doesn't do serious things, and it is better to count on Zheng Yu, a hairy child, to expect him to go hunting.
"For the sake of our happy life in the future, we will work hard to generate electricity." Ding Chen replied solemnly, and at the same time was glad that Rogge didn't know that there was a slogan used by the people of the island to generate electricity.
"Can you really make a call?" Carlo stared at Ding Chen and asked very seriously, "This is not a joke. ā
Ding Chen's purpose in entering the mountain was to see if he could restore the power supply to the apartment, although there has been no official report since he returned, but everyone also knows that this expedition failed, otherwise Ding Chen would not need to use the battery to power the operating room. Carlo didn't expect this to turn around.
"Certainly not kidding." Ding Chen said with a smile: "Just so that you big and small beauties can be seen clearly after dark, this matter can only succeed." ā
Carlo gave him a blank look and reminded, "Be careful that I go and tell Sister Ye." ā
"Actually, I'm mainly here to see her." Ding Chen immediately coaxed and no longer threw flattering eyes.
