Four hundred and sixtieth chapters insurmountable gap
The supplies that Ning Zhe brought to Lin Xun and others this time not only included a large amount of food, medicine, and clothing, but also ten rifles and ten pistols that were seized from the transport team. This supply was already in the refugee area.
Unimaginable astronomical numbers.
But compared with the joy of the supplies, what made Zhang Fang, Lin Xun, Wu Hao, Li Lin and others happier was naturally seeing Ning Zhe survive the disaster unharmed.
After the supplies were received by Lin Xun and others, Shangguan Xiaohu and Hu Yihan were also taken to the grocery store.
Hu Yihan already had a general understanding of Ning Zhe's affairs, but when he saw Lin Xun and others with dirty faces and tattered clothes, he still felt unbelievable. He didn't expect that this group of people dressed like beggars were actually already
He was one of the people with the best life in the market town, and living in the fortress for a long time also made him feel that the environment in the refugee area was a bit unacceptable. Although there were four charcoal pots in the house, his hands and feet were still numb from the cold.
In order to entertain the returning Ning Zhe, Zhao Yi cooked several specialty dishes. Zhang Fang also opened a few bottles of wine that Ning Zhe brought him. The group sat around the table and drank wine. The open cans on the table also made Wu
Hao and others' appetite increased greatly.
At this moment, Jiao Tuzi and Ma Si went out to inspect the brothels and had not returned yet, so everyone was drinking and waiting. Ning Zhe took a sip of white wine to warm up and asked Lin Xun, "How are you doing these days?
Is your life going well?"
Lin Xun smiled and said: "It went well. After you left, Brother Fang helped us destroy the Black Flag Gang. Now we have taken over all the brothels in the market town, as well as several valuable shops on this street.
Being taken over by us, although everyone can't say they're getting rich, they still have enough to eat and clothing to wear."
"Azhe, you just need to take care of yourself inside the fortress. Don't worry about the outside. Although life in the refugee area may be a little harder, we have reached the top here, and with Zhang Fang's help, so
No one dares to bully us!" Li Lin also smiled: "Now we control six or seven shops and more than a dozen brothels, with hundreds of brothers under our command, we will not be bullied by others!"
"Very good!" Ning Zhe saw the high-spirited looks of several people and knew that his worries all along were overblown. He raised the wine glass to Zhang Fang and said, "Have you been worrying about me recently, Captain Zhang?
"
Zhang Fang smiled heartily: "We are all brothers, so there is no need to worry! We are all very happy to see you back! If you really want to repay me, drinking more wine with me these days will be better than anything else!"
"I'm afraid I really can't promise you this!" Ning Zhe shook his head slightly: "We have to set off early tomorrow morning. In fact, after I entered the city, I also offended some enemies. If I stay here for too long, I'm afraid I will be punished.
You are causing trouble. You can teach them to get familiar with the weapons I sent out. You must not show them unless it is absolutely necessary!"
When Lin Xun heard this, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes: "Brother, do you still want to leave?"
"I have to go, but my current job is to be responsible for the material transportation of Dark Horse Company. I should be able to see you more often in the future." Ning Zhe reached out and touched Lin Xun's head: "Be well outside, wait for me when I'm here."
Once everything is mixed inside the fortress, we will take you all in and live there."
"Everyone, please give way, be careful!"
At this moment, Zhao Yi also placed a plate on the table, and the barbecue inside was exuding a tangy aroma.
In the eyes of Li Lin, Wu Hao and others, the canned food brought by Ning Zhe was a delicacy for young people, but it was not attractive to Hu Yihan. Seeing that there was finally hot food on the table, he picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth
Inside, he chewed it gently and suddenly felt the fragrance in his mouth. He praised: "This meat tastes very special, like the taste of birds. Is there any special seasoning added in it?"
Zhao Yi smiled and explained: "There's no seasoning. It's just ordinary rat meat, grilled over charcoal fire."
Hu Yihan was a little confused: "Cooked meat?"
"It's not cooked meat, it's rat meat, rats!" Lin Xun added: "Recently, due to the war, supplies in the market town have been tight, but under Li Lin's suggestion, we are artificially breeding rats.
We originally planned to save it for the New Year, but if you hadn’t come, we wouldn’t have been able to kill it!”
"Rat? Damn it..." Hu Yihan heard this and felt that the meat in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor, and immediately ran towards the door.
Lin Xun saw Hu Yihan running towards the door and looked at Ning Zhe: "Brother, what's wrong with your friend?"
"Fortress people have never eaten these things, so they may not be able to accept them for a while." Ning Zhe pointed at Shangguan Xiaohu: "Look at him, doesn't eating rat meat taste delicious?"
"vomit--"
Shangguan Xiaohu, who had only been focused on eating and not listening to anyone else, suddenly vomited all over the floor.
During the recent period, everyone has more or less understanding of the world inside the fortress because they have been closer to Zhang Fang. However, when Wu Hao saw the food he was accustomed to, he could make Shangguan Xiaohu and Hu Yihan so excited.
With a big reaction, he looked at Ning Zhe: "Azhe, is there really such a big gap between the world inside the fortress and the outside?"
"We are all human beings. We only need three meals and one warm meal." Ning Zhe answered this question with a calm face, took out a piece of rat meat from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. Rat meat is not delicious, but the refugees in the city
In most cases, there is no choice. Ning Zhe did this because he did not want everyone to feel that there was a gap between them and him: "If there is a chance, I will take you all to see inside the fortress!"
Lin Xun glanced sideways at Fatty Li: "Brother Li, don't just drink, you should also eat something!"
"Haha, I'm losing weight recently. You guys eat, and I'll go help Sister Xiaoyi!" Fatty Li smiled and said hello, and left the room.
In fact, Fatty Li's stomach was churning at the moment. The few months he lived in the fortress had indeed changed him. He, who once relied on selling rats for a living, also began to feel that eating rats was a disgusting thing.
Walking in the courtyard illuminated by the dim light of the lantern, Fatty Li suddenly discovered that the homesickness he felt when he first entered the fortress was no longer there. He even felt disgusted with this dilapidated living environment. Perhaps it was this dilapidated living environment that made him feel homesick.
The environment reminded him of his once penniless self.
Humans are highly adaptable animals, and they are also animals that know how to seek good luck and avoid evil. Fatty Li could adapt to the more comfortable life in the fortress in a short time, but Hu Yihan could not accept the harsh environment in the refugee area.
At this moment, Fatty Li suddenly felt a little lucky. If he had not followed Ning Zhe into the city, he might never have known what life was like outside the refugee area.
When Fatty Li walked to the kitchen, Zhao Yi was cooking next to the stove. Zhao Yi had never seen most of the fruits and vegetables that Ning Zhe brought out this time, and was trying hard to distinguish the differences between the two.
The way the refugees cook is also very simple, because there is no seasoning, they just boil it in salt water. Even the roots of the vegetables are washed clean by Zhao Yi and are not willing to throw them away, and the water for washing vegetables needs to be precipitated before being used again.
