Chapter 284 New Year
When Jiang Chen finished moving all the things in these two warehouses, it was almost night.
Fortunately, the volume of the storage space has been expanded to more than 20 cubic meters. If the jump bracelet's initial small capacity of one cubic meter is used, even if he is exhausted, he will not be able to move the thousands of tons of supplies.
"My God, are you robbing the granary?" Looking at the piles of boxes in the backyard, Sun Jiao was completely stunned.
Although there was no shortage of food in the base, it was the first time she had seen so much food.
"Do you still need to rob such a small amount of food? On our side, such a pile would cost more than 700,000 US dollars." Looking at Sun Jiao's ignorant look, Jiang Chen couldn't help but a smile slipped across his mouth, Said with a proud tone.
Many of these hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs are spent on logistics. The Pannu Islands are surrounded by large agricultural and animal husbandry countries, and the wholesale price of agricultural products from Australia and New Zealand is very cheap.
"But this is too much." Looking at the pile of hills, Sun Jiao half-opened and closed her mouth, and said stupidly.
Seeing the rare stupefied look on Sun Jiao's face, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly, and reached out to pat her on the waist.
"Okay, don't stand there stupidly, let someone move things into the granary."
Her cheeks were slightly red, and Sun Jiao seemed to be aware of her gaffe, so she gave him an annoyed look, turned around and ran to the community center outside the villa to find Wang Qing.
Smiling and looking at Sun Jiao's running back, Jiang Chen turned to look at the dark sky in the distance.
It is already February, and when this month is over, the heavy snow will almost stop.
In the wasteland, spring is the season of hunting.
Whether it's the aliens who have just finished hibernation, or the bandits who have been silent for a whole season, they are all hungry waiting for the snow to melt, waiting for the two-legged or four-legged prey to emerge from under the ruins.
"A lot of things really happened this winter." Shaking his head, Jiang Chen tightened his coat and walked into the villa.
1302 tons of supplies. It was not until noon the next day that the inventory was completed, and they were sorted and stored in the warehouse.
Among them, 300 tons of grain were left in the base as reserves and for daily consumption. The remaining 1,002 tons were sewered to a Sixth Street warehouse, some of which were sold locally. The other part was transported to the neighboring Suzhou City and Hangzhou City by the trade convoy formed by the Zhao Group, and exchanged for sub-crystal and other hard-selling hard currencies.
Throughout the day, the base was immersed in the joy of harvest.
Although I don't know how the food was transported into the base, this does not prevent the survivors in the base from smiling happily at the full granary. Although not everyone is eligible to eat in the cafeteria. But as long as you work hard, you will one day be among the top citizens and enjoy unlimited rations.
Just in time for the new year.
Under Jiang Chen's impromptu idea, the survivors set up a row of snow-covered sheds on the square in front of the community center, and held a "New Year's Eve Dinner".
Only tonight, regardless of status, anyone who is interested can apply for a booth, cook their favorite food, and share their own food with others.
Food in the granary is not rationed. People from the logistics department of the base will be responsible for supplying food and fuel to stalls that are out of stock in time.
There is only one iron law that needs to be followed, and that is to stop wasting and take as much as you eat. Any behavior of discarding food will be severely punished by the base.
However, it turns out that adding this rule is obviously overwhelmed by Jiang Chen.
Those starving ghosts who "have never seen the world", how could they be willing to waste their time eating one by one?
Considering that there is no such thing as Jianweixiaoshi tablets in the base, after thinking about it for a while, Jiang Chen had no choice but to make a supplementary clause "Do not vomit within 24 hours, or I will take it all back."
This order somewhat eased those starving ghosts. Be more sensible when enjoying food.
Eating alone is certainly not enough to enjoy themselves. The survivors raised a bonfire in the center of the square and started an impromptu talent show.
Singing is not necessarily good, and dancing is not necessarily beautiful. But there is no doubt that it is lively.
People sat around the center of the square with hot bowls, drinking hot soup and munching on barbecue, feeling very happy.
Although the radiation dust above the sky is still oppressive, the pale snowflakes are still icy cold. But the fire shavings rising above the bonfire washed away the haze that permeated people's hearts.
Standing side by side with Sun Jiao on the roof of the community center, looking at the happy faces on the square, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
"Are you happy?" Looking at Jiang Chen's profile, Sun Jiao smiled.
"certainly."
Half a year ago, this place was just a half-collapsed villa area. Not to mention that it is inaccessible, even if there are not many zombies.
However, who would have thought that in just half a year, this place would be transformed into this bustling appearance.
Looking at the smile on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth, Sun Jiao's cheeks flushed slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Not because of the growth of the base, but just because of the growth of the beloved in front of him.
Half a year ago, she also would not have imagined that he, who was powerless, would grow into the outstanding appearance he is today.
"Really, I don't know how much food I have to consume tonight." Although she complained, there was no expression of disapproval on her face, just like a bickering between lovers.
"The material conditions are basically satisfied, and the construction of spiritual civilization is also very important. Spending energy on outdoor sports is better than smoking alcohol and taking drugs." Jiang Chen laughed.
"That's true." Looking at the lively atmosphere in the square, a look of nostalgia appeared on Sun Jiao's face.
"What are you thinking?"
"It's a long way off."
Sun Jiao said in a nostalgic tone, "During the days in the refuge, although I couldn't feel the change of seasonal temperature, whenever this special day came, people would gather together to celebrate. I vaguely remember that every time this day comes , my father would tell us stories on the ground. He said that it was snowing there, people were setting off firecrackers, and eating delicious New Year’s Eve dinner. Although I didn’t know until the shelter opened, all this was false, and everything was just a fairy tale .”
A shelter locked for a closed period of time is like an isolated island. While isolating radiation, it is also isolating all electromagnetic wave signals, making it impossible to receive any messages from the outside world.
But people still believe that when the iron gate is opened, everything will be beautiful. After all, what stays in the eyes of these people is only the halo of the moment before the nuclear explosion, not the ruthlessness of the shock wave sweeping through the crowd.
"Do you think your father lied to you?" Jiang Chen asked softly.
"I thought about it before, but then I more or less understood." Sun Jiao shook her head, staring at the bonfire not far away with a complicated expression, "Humans are such fragile creatures, if you can't see hope, I can’t survive.” To be continued.
