"I always thought that grandma didn't know much about it." Ji Cha put the dinner brought on the table, watched Liang Jincheng eat, and recounted to him the conversation between grandma and several old people at the factory.
Liang Jincheng was also quite surprised by this, but he said: "It's actually good, let's find a time to talk to grandma, how about it?"
Ji Cha nodded, the result was much better than he had originally estimated.
Ji Cha seemed a little unaccustomed to being able to relax after worrying for so long.
The genius was bright, and there was already a queue at the gate of the base.
The largest and most stable base in the entire southeast coastal area is the one where Jicha and the others in S City are located. The news gradually spread, and the base also intends to promote it.
One group whose numbers cannot be ignored: orphans.
No matter how they came to the base with the help of whom, these orphans have accumulated a lot from infants to under twelve years old.
The apocalypse is not the same as before, as long as you can find your own way of life, the base will not take care of you too much. Basically, children over the age of 15 have to find a job by themselves to survive. Those between the ages of twelve and fifteen will be assigned some light collective labor, such as picking things. The base is responsible for the food and accommodation for children under the age of twelve.
For a long time at the beginning, no one had the heart to think about other things except to maintain everyone's livelihood. For example, study and education, such as medical treatment.
But now the food and clothing in the base has been guaranteed, safety and so on are gradually on the track, and after Liang Jincheng officially took office as the top leader of the base through voting at the end of August, all kinds of things planned are faster than when Cheng Feng was in office. Start planning several times faster.
The occupation of teachers has been officially divided, and the recruitment and screening will start in advance in the information column.
This makes many intellectuals who can only do heavy manual labor at the beginning very happy. The salary is good, and they can return to their profession. There is no shortage of people who apply for it.
Ji Cha's cousin, Zhang Qinqin, used to be a preschool teacher and had been helping in the factory since the end of the world. Now that she heard the news, she immediately signed up.
This matter is not under the control of Ji Cha, but because the location set up by the school is far from the two canteens, it is necessary to open a school canteen nearby. Ji Cha needs to do some preparation and handover of the farm ingredients before going to see it in person. a trip.
At present, the school education area is temporarily divided into four parts, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school.
Since the news of the opening of the school was announced, many parents with children in the base were very concerned, and there were quite a few inquiries on the information board. There are still a lot of school matters and things to prepare, so it is tentatively scheduled to open at the end of September. However, early registration has already started, but in just two days, there have been more than 500 registrations.
Except for the orphans, the rest of the families still need to pay for education, in addition to a small amount that everyone can afford, there is only daily food expenses.
From the perspective of demographics, the proportion of school-age children in the base is actually very unhealthy, so it needs to be protected even more.
"It is estimated that about 700 people will need to eat lunch at the school every day when the school starts. The dishes should be a little different from those in the big cafeteria." The temporary person in charge of the school who is in charge of communicating with Ji Cha is from the army. Pay attention to nutritional supplements, but it is relative, and it is not good to be too special, what does Boss Ji think?"
"Well, there is a difference. Originally, there are a lot of vegetables on the farm and the quantity is not much. If it is to be supplied to the two big cafeterias, it is not enough. It is just right to put it in the school cafeteria. Let's see it on the first day. Depending on the appetite of the students, we can make a little more, and we can send them over in a more quantitative manner later." Ji Cha said while writing down various data from the school.
Zhang Qinqin I met when I was about to go back.
Zhang Qinqin has already obtained the qualification to teach in kindergarten, and has been here for the past two days to help with various arrangements. The school is an empty shell, and even the houses are newly built with red bricks. It can be said that there is nothing you want. A lot of the equipment that is in it now is all collected from several schools outside during this period of time.
Fortunately, no matter how chaotic the outside world is, no one in the school goes back to grab it, and there is nothing to grab. Except that some books in the library were found to be burned for heating, there are still a lot of usable things left. Many desks, chairs, and electronic tools for teaching have also been brought back. The layout of the front and back is really the same thing.
"Are you very busy these two days?" Zhang Qinqin smiled, obviously very happy, "I have stayed here for a long time, and I feel that I have not experienced the end of the world. I really want to go back to the state of teaching children. When the time comes Bring Xiaochao over to class."
"I think it's good too," Ji Cha nodded, "But I didn't expect to start this piece so early. I've thought about what to do if the children don't go to school."
Although the end of the world is the end of the world, at least the people in the base are motivated to live. In a hopeful environment, everyone has the hope of being able to rebuild their lives. Education and enlightenment are the kindling that keeps all hope alive.
At the end of September, the school officially opened, and the production on the farm entered a new stage.
The production of chickens, ducks and rabbits has entered the process, and the chicken coop, duck coop and rabbit coop have been expanded by more than double, which can basically meet the relevant needs. The batch output of big meat is slightly slower, but the supply of pork is also much better than before.
The accumulated experience of breeding and production of livestock is much more vivid than the simple language description in books. As for food crops, rich and diverse production has also been achieved.
The seed degradation problem that plagued Jicha in the past has also been solved by using the variation of crops. Like green vegetables, there are basically two kinds of mutations in all kinds of crops. Positive mutations increase yield or optimize dry mouth, while negative mutations make many plants aggressive, and some have deadly consequences.
This also makes the farm must pay close attention to the growth and development of each batch of food crops all the time. Fortunately, as long as the positively mutated crops basically do not have any risk of being infected, this is also one of the benefits.
Due to the limitation of the river channel, the fish fry in Jicha's plan have not seen much effect in several ponds dug by hand, but this is a long-term investment after all, and Jicha also has the patience to wait.
On the first day of school, in order to supervise the preparation of the cafeteria and to improve the delivery of ingredients later, Ji Cha went to the school cafeteria to check various situations by himself.
On the first day of school, many students who came to school still looked confused. They brought their own tableware to the cafeteria, because the money for meals would be deducted from their home information points, even though the price of the cafeteria here is higher than that of the big cafeteria. Relatively cheaper, but few people are willing to order meat dishes. This led to a lot of meat dishes left in the end, and the big canteen had to be able to digest the dinner, otherwise it would be a waste in this hot day.
All food prices in the base are actually customized according to the cost line that can maintain the operation of the base. There is no room for making money, so it is unrealistic to lower the price of meat and vegetables. , simply changed the dishes in the cafeteria. The whole meat dish is reduced to one dish per day, but there are a lot of shredded meat in many vegetables, and the price is also quite neutral. In this way, I went to the cafeteria the next day to have a look. Sure enough, this kind of combined version with vegetables and meat is selling well. .
After a week of continuous observation, the digestibility and hot-selling dishes in the school cafeteria became clear, and the various supplies on the farm became smoother.
All kinds of matters in the base began to proceed in an orderly manner. It was originally thought that this would continue for a while, and all ordinary people almost forgot what the outside world was like. When the S base suddenly received news from the outside base.
Country C itself is so big, even if the end of the world will bring a devastating blow to the population, but the existence of the base cannot be limited to City S. This is everyone's affirmation.
It's just that how the bases outside have developed now, whether their intention is to be an enemy or a friend, and what kind of results will be caused, not only the ordinary people are concerned, but Ji Cha is also very concerned.
He has experienced the last ten years of the apocalypse, and he knows that the outside world is unpredictable, so he can't treat the other party as a simple character no matter what.
The safest way is to use malicious speculation about the other party's intentions, but don't act rashly. Even though Base S is already such a large base, there are hidden worries when facing the outside world.
Of course, the communication between the base and the outside world cannot be completely cut off. No matter what, human beings are social animals. Although the base has achieved basic self-sufficiency, in detail, there are still many vacancies.
For example, although there is no shortage of salt in the base now, there is no well salt here, and the second is not close to the seaside. It is inevitable that there will be a shortage after it is used up.
