The next day, Meng Zezhi deliberately woke up early, and when he saw the six extra orders in the copper basin, his heart finally fell back to his stomach.
"How is it?" Seeing Meng Zezhi coming out of the study, Qin Yaochen handed him the remaining half of the baked egg.
Meng Zezhi opened his mouth to take it, swallowed it in two mouthfuls, raised the manifest in his hand, and said in a good mood, "It's done, get ready to ship!"
…
Seeing that the sun has risen, from apprehension to nervousness, to impatience, and a high degree of mental concentration, the young man can't stand it anymore. It has been a whole week since he was ordered to take people to the Yongzhou base to buy food. The rest is over.
It's not just him, most of the people have one or two points of fatigue on their faces.
Hearing the sighs coming and going in his ears, Feng Zengyuan reached out and rubbed his temples and asked, "What time is it now?"
The middle-aged man on the side heard the words and looked at the electronic watch on his wrist: "It's nine o'clock in two minutes."
"Okay, it's been a day of tossing, everyone is tired, you guys go to rest first, I'll be watching here." Feng Zengyuan said.
Zhao Yuanjie glanced at the dignified and dignified statue on the opposite table. It was related to their future and the base. He didn't want to think about the worst until the last moment. He said, "I'm with you."
"I'll keep it too, I can't rest my mind until things don't end."
"Me too… "
The crowd complied.
The young man also said, "I'll just squint for a while."
Just as he was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
As if realizing something, everyone was refreshed and looked at the door in unison. The air suddenly quieted down, and the needles could be heard falling.
Feng Zengyuan suddenly felt dry in his throat. He unconsciously clenched his fists and asked, "Who?"
A young voice came from outside the door: "Director, the cafeteria said that you and Team Zhao didn't go to breakfast this morning, so they asked me to come over and ask whether they sent it directly or not?"
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Everyone's tense nerves instantly loosened.
Feng Zengyuan's tone was not very good: "Tell the cafeteria, just say we don't eat."
At this juncture, who is still in the mood to eat
"...Okay, okay." The man outside the door was obviously confused, and hesitantly responded.
Listening to the sound of footsteps outside the house gradually receding, everyone couldn't help sighing.
Unexpectedly, there was less than half a minute between before and after, when the knock on the door rang again.
Feng Zengyuan was a little upset: "What's the matter?"
Hearing the unkindness in the other party's tone, Meng Zezhi paused, then put down his knocking hand, and said, "Is Mr. Feng Zengyuan there? The food you ordered has arrived."
The air was quiet for a moment, Feng Zengyuan's complexion changed dramatically, and in the panic, Zhao Yuanjie accidentally broke the glass glass at hand...
Listening to the various chaotic movements inside, Meng Zezhi raised his brows slightly, and was thinking about whether to knock on the door again, when there was a rush of footsteps inside the house, followed by the door being opened—
All of a sudden, a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Meng Zezhi, there was excitement, surprise, consideration, and vigilance...
"Mr. Feng Zengyuan?" Meng Zezhi asked.
"I, I am." Feng Zengyuan couldn't hide his excitement.
Meng Zezhi turned to look at him, nodding slightly, as a courtesy, he said, "I brought all the food here, what do you think?"
"Okay." Hearing the word "food", Feng Zengyuan couldn't take care of anything else, he said quickly, "I'll take you to the warehouse now."
Zhao Yuanjie on the side also said, "Brother Zhao, go and get the crystal core."
"Okay." The middle-aged man replied repeatedly, turning around and picking up a wooden box on the table behind him.
"Yes, yes." Feng Zengyuan said repeatedly: "Don't worry, we have already prepared the crystal nucleus."
"That's good." Meng Zezhi smiled even more.
"That's it." After speaking, Feng Zengyuan and the others looked at Meng Zezhi closely, not daring to take a breath.
Looking at the empty warehouse in front of him, Meng Zezhi waved his hand, and a mountain of potatoes appeared in front of him.
Some of the potatoes that were not stable slid down and rolled to the feet of everyone.
The young man's eyes widened suddenly, and the sleepiness in his head was swept away. He bent down and grabbed a potato. He didn't mind that it was still stained with dust, so he took a bite.
Sweet, with an earthy fragrance.
He was very excited: "It's true, Brother Feng, it's true..."
Feng Zengyuan's heart immediately let go, he looked back at Meng Zezhi, and his words were incoherent: "I, this..."
He was never so excited when he learned that he had beaten his competitors to get the position of the police chief of Caozhou City.
Meng Zezhi had never seen a scene before, and he was very calm from beginning to end: "60,000 kilograms of potatoes are here, you can count them."
"Okay." Feng Zengyuan reacted and said immediately, "Old Zhao, hurry up and bring the crystal nucleus."
The middle-aged man hurriedly handed him the wooden box in his hand.
Feng Zengyuan took it and brought it to Meng Zezhi: "These are eighty tertiary nuclei, count them."
"No need to count, I can rest assured of Mr. Feng's character." Meng Zezhi took the wooden box and put it directly into the storage space. After all, if he has a bad character, he can't receive his greetings.
Besides, this is not a one-time transaction, even if Feng Zengyuan is not afraid of his identity, if he wants to buy food from him in the future, he will not dare to mess around.
Feng Zengyuan said politely: "Then you have worked hard, why don't you stay and have a light meal."
"No." Meng Zezhi said, "There are still several shipments waiting for me to deliver."
"By the way," he took out a new delivery list and handed it to Feng Zengyuan: "If Mr. Feng still wants to buy food, you can contact me again."
"Okay." Feng Zengyuan immediately took the order, and he was about to say this.
Then he seemed to remember something, and he said, "Look at me, I'm excited to patronize, haven't I asked your honorable name yet?"
Meng Zezhi looked back at him and said, "Don't worry, my surname is Qi."
"Qi?" Feng Zengyuan always felt as if he had overlooked something.
Zhao Yuanjie lost his voice and said, "He is the land god of Wuxian County."
What
Feng Zengyuan and the others suddenly widened their eyes.
Only then did they remember another key point of the matter.
immortal-
For the next two days, Meng Zezhi was busy making deliveries.
"Sorry, you're late, potatoes are sold out, do you want sweet potatoes?"
"… want."
"How much?"
"90,000 kilograms, 500 kilograms of sour radish, 200 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of fresh vegetables and a ton of salt."
"Benefits 130 tertiary nuclei and 296 secondary nuclei."
"Sorry, you only have 20,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes left."
"...I see on this list that you still sell rice?"
"right."
"... Then, do you sell chaff?"
"...Sell...three secondary nuclei per thousand kilograms, I should have another six thousand kilograms there...I'll send you another eight hundred kilograms of sweet potato vines."
"thanks, thanks… "
"Sorry, the potatoes and sweet potatoes you asked for are gone, but the next batch of grains will ripen in a week."
"Okay, then you must keep it for us..."
"Good to say, good to say."
…
A week later, the second batch of crops of 1,000 mu of land matured. When Meng Zezhi went to deliver the goods, he clearly felt that something had changed.
"150,000 kilograms of potatoes, 200 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of flour, 1,000 kilograms of sour radish... 182 tertiary nuclei and 64 secondary nuclei."
"That's right, it's this number... Uncle, please this way, this way, what do you think this is?"
"This-"
"Don't we have a big gold mine in Zhaozhou? This is a little intention of our Zhaozhou base. You can take it back and make a golden body or something. Anyway, this thing is not worth much in the end of the world, otherwise we will go directly to the base. It's okay to build a land temple for you here..."
…
"60,000 kilograms of potatoes, 80,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 50 kilograms of chestnuts, 2,000 kilograms of sour radishes... all here."
"Yes, yes... Here are 165 tertiary nuclei and 142 secondary nuclei, please count them."
"That's right."
"By the way, Uncle, we have prepared some gifts for you. They are not expensive things. They are all our local specialties. This is West Lake Longjing, this is Huading Yunwu, this is West Lake lotus root starch, and this is Tianmu bamboo shoots. Do… "
"…Are there any seeds?"
"There are some."
Sure enough, where there are people, the word "interest" cannot escape.
All they were staring at were the grains in Meng Zezhi's hands.
Then Meng Zezhi happily accepted these "offerings", not because he needed these things, but because he needed the respectful attitude of these people. As the so-called "up and down" is effective, over time, when everyone knows of his existence, Taoism will also So happy.
Later, Meng Zezhi worked part-time as an Erdao dealer.
"120,000 kilograms of potatoes, 50,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 500 kilograms of rice, 1,500 kilograms of sour radishes... 201 tertiary nuclei and 196 secondary nuclei."
"To you."
"By the way, are the oil fields near your base still being exploited?"
"Mining is resuming."
"Then, do you sell gasoline?"
"… Sell."
"How much?"
"This, uncle, let us discuss it first."
"good."
"...Uncle, we have discussed it. Five hundred liters of gasoline will be sold for a third-level crystal nucleus. What do you think?"
"Can."
"110,000 kilograms of potatoes, 1,000 kilograms of sour radishes, 2 tons of salt, 100 kilograms of fresh vegetables... Do you want gasoline? Five hundred liters for a third-grade crystal nucleus and a second-grade crystal nucleus, and the shipping fee is extra."
"… Yes… but can we exchange coal with you?"
"Can."
It's a pity that the storage space cannot transport live animals, otherwise Meng Zezhi would be able to enrich the breeding area by the way.
While Meng Zezhi was busy with his feet not touching the ground, Qin Yaochen led people to open up another large warehouse in the logistics center—bonded warehouse, service center, staff dormitory and other suitable places into new planting areas.
To this end, more than 100 wind turbines have been added to the dock.
As a result, when the land in Meng Zezhi's hands suddenly expanded to 5,000 mu, Xiaoshan, which was behind Mangshan, was also affected by seedlings.
At the same time, Meng Zezhi re-planned the planting area based on the trading situation these days.
The scale of the orchard was reduced from 100 mu to 50 mu, and the vegetable garden was expanded from 10 mu to 20 mu. The planting scale of legumes such as rapeseed, soybean, and peanut remained unchanged, and the planting of rice, corn and wheat The scale was reduced from the original 1,200 mu to 500 mu, and the remaining 4,300 mu of land was used to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, mainly high-yield potatoes.
Because of the sufficient gasoline, Huang Wu specially brought more than a dozen agricultural machinery from the county, and the old goddess and the others were finally relieved from the busy farm work.
In this way, the planting area can produce about 13 million kilograms of grain every month on average, and it should not be a problem to feed one million people.
- This number is equivalent to one-fifth of the number of survivors in China after the end of the decade in the original plot.
Although Meng Zezhi still felt dissatisfied, it did not prevent him from taking a vacation for himself.
In the evening, he came out of the shower, climbed into the bed and hugged Qin Yaochen, and suddenly said, "It will be my grandfather's birthday in half a month. I want to go back to the capital to have a look."
Qin Yaochen's breathing slowed, and then he heard Meng Zezhi continue: "You know, my parents died young, and I was raised by my grandfather since I was a child... I want him to meet you."
