Chapter 31 Mix with me Chen Xi, you all have meat to eat!
Scooped up a piece of stewed soft pork with a wooden spoon, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, feeling the taste of the pork, but Chen Xi was in his hands, and suddenly thought of a very important question:
Eating mushroom stewed pork in a warm office by yourself, what about the rest of the people in the subway?
Is the supply depot still distributing rations to people at subway stations according to the previous quota?
That's not going to work!
He knew that during the years of the reign of the "hanger" Li Jingui, ordinary subway residents had very little rations, so they barely starved to death.
This is also Li Jingui's ruling idea.
As long as the untouchables are not fed, they will not have the strength to do things, and their rule will be very secure.
However, he Chen Xi is not Li Jingui!
If he also enjoys his privileges with such peace of mind, regardless of the poverty of the people, then wouldn't he be no different from Li Jingui?!
Thinking of this, Chen Xi frowned, couldn't help but speed up his eating, and ate all the meals on the tray like a storm!
Then, he jerked up from his office chair and walked out of the office quickly.
When I came to the supply depot on the second floor, I saw that there was already a long queue in front of the supply depot.
Seeing Chen Xi, whether it was the subway residents who were queuing up or the people who were giving, they all bowed down and said hello:
"Your Excellency, Leader!"
"Your Excellency, Leader!"
With a smile one by one, Chen Xi walked straight into the supply depot.
It is said to be a supply warehouse, but it is actually a combination of a kitchen and a warehouse.
The warehouse is on the inside and the kitchen is on the outside.
When he walked into the kitchen, Chen Xi happened to see two cooks standing in front of the two cauldrons, stirring with long wooden spoons.
Seeing Chen Xi, the two couldn't help but pause.
Inside the boiling iron pot is a stream of bone broth with a faint oil splash.
In the other iron pot, there is a mixture of paste-like food.
"What's inside?"
"Mushrooms, dried vegetables, potatoes..."
"No meat at all?"
Faced with Chen Xi's somewhat idiotic question, the two cooks glanced at each other, and only then did the slightly older cook answer:
"Your Excellency, you may not know that in the entire subway station, only you and the explorers are qualified to eat meat. The workers and ordinary residents usually don't even have to drink the pork bone soup, but today Captain Lu specially instructed us to add the pork bones..."
Hearing this, Chen Xi's brows furrowed suddenly.
Different statuses lead to different treatments.
He has long understood this.
However, this is also outrageous!
Is it true that he eats meat, and the others can only gnaw on the bones and even drink some bone broth?!
Then what is the difference between him and Li Jingui, who exploits the people?!
If everything is the same as when Li Jingui was in power, then what difference does it make if he is not the leader?!
That's not going to work!
Whether it is his three views or the education he has received since childhood, he does not support him to do such a thing!
Change has to be made!
With a plan in his heart, Chen Xi came to the cook's side, stretched out his hand and patted the latter's shoulder:
"That was before, not to mention, it's still a big day... Take out fifty pounds of pork and give everyone a meal! ”
Hearing this order, the two cooks were stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of disbelief.
The old cook swallowed his saliva, tried to contain the joy and surprise in his heart, and couldn't help asking:
"Are you serious?"
"Do you think I'm joking? Go ahead, they're all starving..."
"Okay, we'll go right away!"
"Forget it, I'm here anyway, I'll go with you..."
Following a cook into the closed warehouse, Chen Xi found that the temperature inside was much lower than outside.
Obviously, in order to keep the food longer, there are quite a few ice cubes placed in the sea inside the warehouse.
Since the onset of nuclear winter, even without electricity and refrigerators, it has become much easier for humans to obtain ice.
Just find a ventilated place and let a bucket of water sit overnight to get a bucket of ice.
After helping to move fifty catties of frozen pork from the warehouse to the kitchen, and after instructing the two of them, Chen Xi walked out of the supply warehouse again.
Then, in full view of everyone, he slammed into a wooden box, waved his hand, and said aloud:
"Everyone, please listen to me!"
Attracting the attention of everyone present, he smiled slightly and said loudly:
"Excuse me a moment, I have something to announce."
"Today, the day we regained our freedom from the rule of the lackeys of the Union, is a very memorable and memorable moment. Therefore, I have decided to make today a day of freedom! ”
"And to celebrate this hard-won freedom, I declare that everyone in the subway station can get a mushroom stew today!"
What?
Meat?
Where is it?!
Meat, for the people of the subway station, is a very sensitive word.
Because, they will never eat meat!
Perhaps the happiness came so suddenly that the people lining up in the subway either looked incredulous or at a loss, not knowing how to react.
At this time, a little girl at the front of the line, wearing a round felt hat, took her mother's hand and asked in a milky voice:
"Mom, do we have meat to eat?"
Without waiting for her mother to answer, Chen Xi jumped down from the wooden box, bent down and squatted, reached out and touched the little girl's head, and said softly:
"Yes, you and your mother both have meat to eat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two cooks walked out of the kitchen, carrying a large iron pot.
With a bang, the large iron pot was placed on the long table in front of the supply depot.
In the big iron pot, it is the mushroom stew that is steaming and fragrant!
Seeing the real thing, all the people present finally reacted.
Chen Xi is not joking, what he said is true!
Suddenly, all the people who were queuing up began to cheer.
"Great! There's meat to eat! ”
"I can't even remember the last time I ate meat, when was it..."
"Don't rush, don't rob, everyone, there is meat to eat!"
While instructing the people who were in a little commotion, Chen Xi came to the long table in front of the door of the supply depot, picked up the wooden spoon, and began to distribute food to the subway residents one by one.
When Chen Xi handed over bowls of hot stew to them and softly told them to be careful, everyone was touched by the young leader's heart-warming gesture.
A skinny old man even cried on the spot, and tightly grabbed Chen Xi's cuffs and kept thanking him.
Only after despair and coldness can we understand the preciousness of hope and warmth!
At this moment, every subway people are secretly glad in their hearts, glad that they chose the right leader!
The man in front of him, and the damn Li Jingui, are simply two people from different worlds!
And looking at every face full of smiles, Chen Xi's heart was also a little emotional.
Just by adding a meal of meat to them, they are grateful to themselves, the people of the last days are really simple...
