Chapter 372: The old man who gnawed melon seeds
After listening to He Yuehua's description, Chen Yuanyuan asked He Yuehua to continue to make friends with the people in the United Community, and maybe the next step would be to fight against the Li family's strength.
"You pay more attention to safety, and I will call you every day to report your safety." Chen Yuanyuan said.
After hanging up with He Yuehua, Chen Yuanyuan prepared to enter the space and take a bath.
I was so tired when I came back from the hospital yesterday that I wiped my face and went to sleep, and I felt very uncomfortable after sweating after being busy on the rooftop for a while.
After coming out of the space, some guns began to sound outside again, but compared to the overwhelming gunfire yesterday, today's front line did not seem so intense.
Chen Yuanyuan turned on his phone and saw that Shen Yichen had just sent a message a few minutes ago.
[Shen Yichen: Do you want to go out on a mission together? You'll need your abilities this time.]
[Chen Yuanyuan: Do you have a salary? 】
[Shen Yichen:]
[Shen Yichen: Apply for you, it should be no problem]
[Chen Yuanyuan: Let's talk about the task first]
[Shen Yichen: Okay, talk on the phone]
It turned out that because Chen Yuanyuan smashed the fireworks warehouse yesterday, they only had half of the inventory left, which was not enough to support the two-day siege.
In addition, the power supply at the Yuecheng base was cut off for a whole day yesterday, and a lot of food was spoiled due to the hot weather.
Although there are people rushing to ask for the meat with stinky maggots outside, but now that the battle is fierce, the Li family does not dare to give them spoiled food to affect their morale.
Through the undercover agents lurking in Li's house, the base learned that at one o'clock tonight, there would be a convoy of supplies for the Li family in the south of the city.
In addition to food and medicine, there were also ammunition and pyrotechnic supplies in the cargo, so after getting the news, the base planned to intercept it.
However, carrying a large amount of goods is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so the Li family is also engaged in guerrilla warfare on the battlefield today, and it is roughly estimated that nearly thirty percent of the troops are running to escort this pile of goods, so today's battle is not as fierce as yesterday's.
"But whether it will be exposed, I'm afraid" Chen Yuanyuan was worried about the problem of exposure.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a countermeasure." Shen Yichen said with a smile.
After Chen Yuanyuan heard Shen Yichen's plan, he felt quite excited, so he agreed to participate in this operation together.
After putting on the temperature control clothes, Chen Yuanyuan found a set of camouflage clothes in the space, and then experimented with Shen Yichen's method at home.
Chen Yuanyuan put a large number of objects of different sizes in the living room and used various methods to conduct experiments and demonstrations
"It works!" Chen Yuanyuan's empty hand, and then to the space to see that the items received in the space were intact, but he didn't expect that the space still had this method to use.
After Chen Yuanyuan prepared the tools, he soon arrived at the time agreed with Shen Yichen, and a total of thirty elite troops were dispatched for this operation.
The elite troops disguised themselves as citizens and left the city in batches, while the two of them left the base first through the secret passage in the farm.
"I heard Xia Yunhe say that someone was poisoned on the farm yesterday?" Chen Yuanyuan remembered that he met Xia Yunhe on the bridge last night, so he asked.
"Yes, at the chicken and duck farm, fortunately it was found in time, otherwise I wouldn't have to eat Hainanese chicken rice in the short term." Shen Yichen is also a loyal fan of Aunt Qi's Hainanese chicken rice.
"That's fine, but why don't you invest in the seafood? Isn't it impossible to save? Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while.
"If they dare to poison the water, we will also send the water back to the Langcheng base." Shen Yichen said.
The water and electricity consumption of the Langcheng base is also dependent on the Yuecheng base, so as soon as the water and electricity were stopped yesterday, they agreed to set a truce time.
However, the Yuecheng base did not give them a chance to get rid of the coercion, and the current supply of water and electricity is still limited, and they can't hoard much less hydropower.
"Then they are also quite lacking in morality, and now the food is so poor and poisoned." Chen Yuanyuan sighed and said.
Although as long as you are not lazy in the base, it is not a problem to feed yourself, but now there are still many people outside the base who do not have enough to eat, either starve to death on the streets, or become someone else's pot of food, and it is really shameful to waste food.
"The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, we haven't returned them in the past." Shen Yichen said with a smile.
"Yes, if they don't fear the food, don't eat it, we don't care about these small actions of poisoning, and just do the big thing!" Chen Yuanyuan said.
After Shen Yichen took Chen Yuanyuan through several pig sheds in the farm, and after walking to the fourth pig barn, he saw an old man with missing front teeth gnawing melon seeds.
"Hey, come to the old man to buy pigs?" The old man spit out a melon seed shell and said.
"No, I'm here to nibble on melon seeds." Shen Yichen said.
"What do you want?" The old man's expression changed, and he looked at Shen Yichen with a smile.
"Three pieces of salt and pepper, six pieces of licorice, and seven pieces of crab roe." Shen Yichen thought for a while.
"Do you want to bring a shell?" The old man continued.
"Well, it's going to be shelled." Shen Yichen replied.
"Then are you going to take it away or eat it here?" The old man raised his eyebrows and said.
"Huh?" Shen Yichen was stunned, didn't this code come out?
"Hahaha, the guy who teased you, who asked your colleague to promise to bring me melon seeds, and I haven't been here until now." The old man laughed when he saw Shen Yichen's reaction.
"Who? I'll scold him next time. Shen Yichen said with a smile.
"That Luo guy, hmph, it's unreliable to look at." The old man angrily bit a melon seed and spit the shell on the ground.
"The melon seeds are hard to eat now, expensive and tasteless." The old man muttered to himself.
"What flavor do you want? I happened to bring a few packs to collect outside. Chen Yuanyuan saw that the old man was also very cute, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Collected outside? Is it something from before? It's a rare thing, come and come, show the old man what it tastes like. The old man's eyes stared at Chen Yuanyuan's bag, and his saliva was about to run down.
Chen Yuanyuan took three packs of different versions of sunflower seeds from the bag, with the common caramel flavor, salt and pepper flavor, and also took the novel cantaloupe flavor.
"The salt and pepper flavor is so good! Huh? Can it also have a melon flavor? The old man didn't know Chen Yuanyuan either, he originally wanted to take a pack of her, but when he saw that the three were all different flavors, he had difficulty in choosing again.
"Take it if you like, I still have it at home." Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but chuckle when he looked at the old man's mouth.
"How embarrassing is this," the old man said, but his eyes couldn't leave the three packets of melon seeds.
"But it's all expired, if you don't mind." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Don't mind, don't mind, just fry it, the previous melon seeds were so good, girl, don't bully her, guy, otherwise you won't be able to walk this way in the future." The old man laughed.
"Then I definitely won't bully her, it's too late to feel distressed, He Lao, let's go first." Shen Yichen said with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go" The old man waved his hand, and he couldn't wait to open the cantaloupe-flavored melon seeds.
