Chapter 1554 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!(1/2)
Beep——
The loudspeakers at the Da Zhangshu base emitted a long blast at the same time.
Immediately afterwards,
Li Yu's voice came from the speaker.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is held once a year. I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
"You can't chase the past, we will definitely get better and better in the future..."
...
Li Yu maintained his usual style and gave some Mid-Autumn Festival blessings and encouragement to everyone. The whole speech ended in less than two minutes, without any delay.
In the outer city.
There was already great joy, and the four outer cities were celebrating in different outer cities.
This year's grain harvest has been bumper, and the proportion of staple foods has been scientifically adjusted. In the past, rice was the main food, but now it is sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.
The yield per mu of sweet potatoes is six times that of rice, reaching more than 10,000 kilograms per mu.
The main raw material of the multigrain sweet potato cakes sold in the trading market and the buffer city of Dazhangshu Base is sweet potatoes.
With such adjustments, more food can be produced per unit area and more people can be fed.
In the fourth outer city.
Here mainly live the former northern border experts and the dead soldiers who were trained, in addition to Qingyuan, Qingxiao, Qingyang, Hu Ye and others.
The fourth outer city is mainly greenhouses. To the east is a training camp covering an area of dozens of acres. To the west are several research institutes built, involving chemistry, biology, agriculture and other fields.
When there was a stalemate with Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi was forced to take away hundreds of industry experts and talents.
There had been a rebellion before, which left them in the cold for a while.
As time went by, since the expansion and development of the base required professional talents, some people with better performance were selected and assigned tasks to them.
Even when there was a shortage of talents in Oil City and the North, they were selected from here and sent to support the development of those two places.
Nowadays, the number of people in the scientific research institute has reduced from more than 300 to only about 100 people.
Due to their special nature, their personal freedom has been restricted so far. Those who have performed well and made meritorious deeds can expand their scope of activities to the buffer city, but are not allowed to leave the Da Zhangshu Base.
Those without significant performance can only be restricted to the fourth outer city.
An electric truck drove towards the Fourth Outer City Research Institute.
Crunch!
The vehicle stopped, Ye Shi got out of the vehicle, saw a guard at the door and said:
"Let the people from the institute come out and give them all this food."
Later, she asked people to move the food off the car.
The treatment given to the people in this research institute is that of third-level personnel, and they have no worries about food and drink.
Hot food was unloaded from the truck, and rich pork bone soup filled the air.
After moving the food down, only a small portion of the food was left in the electric truck.
"These two copies are for you." Ye Shi handed two individually wrapped paper bags to the two guards.
These two guards are combatants from the outer city, stationed here to monitor the group of people at the research institute.
"Thank you." After opening the paper bag, the two guards looked surprised.
Ye Shi said: "Fortunately, you still have to be on duty during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
One of the guards with a mole under his eye smiled and said:
"Aren't you the same? You are still busy delivering food, and those who are on duty are the same as everyone else."
Ye Shi smiled and said, "Let's go."
Later, Ye Shi and the others came to the two-story building next to the training ground.
Deng Ben heard the sound of the car and walked out, just in time to see Ye Shi get out of the car.
He asked in surprise:
"Director Ye, why did you come to deliver food today?"
Ye Shi was once the granddaughter of Mr. Ye from a certain military region in the south. After the apocalypse broke out, she happened to meet Bai Jie Anya and others.
Later, by chance, he and Bai Jie and others came to the vicinity of Da Zhangshu Base during a heavy snowfall, and were rescued by Li Yu and others.
In the base, she found that she couldn't do anything and seemed to be unable to help with anything.
What makes Li Yu most angry is that she is still unwilling to learn and suffers from princess disease.
After all, she was the little princess in the family before the end of the world.
But Li Yu didn't tolerate her and asked her to feed the pigs directly!
At that time, not long after the apocalypse broke out, although the base was short of manpower,
But the base doesn’t support idle people either. People who don’t do anything are a waste of food!
So Li Yu asked him to raise pigs with Zhou Weiguo. After raising pigs for a while, he was transferred to a greenhouse to grow pigs. She also found her passion.
Watching the plants slowly grow, sprout, bloom and bear fruit gave her a strong sense of accomplishment.
Nowadays, Ye Shi is responsible for the planting of greenhouses in the inner and outer city of Da Zhangshu.
Anya, on the other hand, is at a higher level and serves as the Minister of Agriculture. She is responsible for all the planting work of the entire camphor tree base, including indoors and outdoors, above and below ground.
After hearing Deng Ben's question, Ye Shi smiled and said, "Come out for a walk."
Then he shouted to Liu Mei and Zhou Ming behind him: "Move all the things down."
"Let the children come out."
Deng Ben is a full-time instructor who trains the Shadow Ten. He has been staying in the Fourth Outer City these days and even lives here.
Deng Ben put his hand on his lips and blew a loud whistle.
The next second, ten shadow people ran out.
Six men and four women.
When Ye Shi saw these children, she couldn't help but smile. She liked children very much.
After she learned that these children were orphans, she was heartbroken. Later, she came here often to contact these children.
"Here, this is a mooncake for you." Ye Shi rubbed Zhang Qun's head and handed her a mooncake with a smile.
"Mooncakes?" Zhang Qun's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, as if she had only heard of mooncakes in her childhood.
"Yes, the red bean paste one is very sweet."
Ye Shi handed the ten mooncakes to these ten people respectively.
The oldest of these ten people is only 13 years old, and the youngest is only 8 years old. Some of the children have never even heard of mooncakes or eaten mooncakes.
"Oh, do we have to eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" an 8-year-old girl asked doubtfully.
From the time she was born until now, she has never heard of mooncakes, let alone eaten them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ye Shi answered with a smile: "Yes, we eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
The little girl asked again: "What festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival? Because the moon is very round?"
When the apocalypse first broke out, she was only two or three years old and had no education at all.
During these six years of the apocalypse, her parents only taught her simple literacy, but could not teach them all the common sense before the apocalypse.
After hearing this question, Ye Shi frowned slightly and glanced at Deng Ben.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival actually has a story in it, which originates from worshiping Chang'e, the goddess in the moon..."
Ye Shi told the beautiful and romantic story of Chang'e. It was the first time for many of them to hear this story, and they listened very seriously.
Only the unruly little boy B had a look of disdain, "They are all fake, what's so good about them."
Girl A gave him a hard blow, "What are you arguing about? Sister Ye Shi will tell us. If you want to listen, just listen. If you don't want to listen, get out."
The 8-year-old also chimed in and cursed: "Although it's fake, Sister Ye is willing to talk to us. It's so rude of us to interrupt her. Sister Ye is such a nice person."
After Ye Shi heard this,
The corner of your mouth twitched, your feelings are all about coaxing yourself together, right?!
In fact, even though the youngest of these children is only eight years old, they have experienced much more cruel and dark things in the apocalypse than Ye Shi.
It is difficult for adults to survive the apocalypse, but it is even harder for children.
It can be said that these shadows are mentally mature enough to be treated as adults.
Even so, Ye Shi still felt sorry for them.
"Here, your food!" Ye Shi waved towards Liu Mei.
