Chapter 1545 Who sets the price for selling mooncakes?!
Half past two in the afternoon.
Wu City Military Base.
Last time, Song Qi proposed to patrol near the Wu City military base, so before the helicopter landed, they discovered the helicopter in the sky.
"Look, that's the helicopter from our headquarters base." A combatant pointed at the helicopter flying towards this direction not far away and shouted.
Song Qi picked up the telescope and looked carefully. His face lit up and he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Li Qi.
"Li Qi, someone is coming from the headquarters base, come out quickly."
After saying that, he led the patrolmen and ran down the mountain quickly.
By the time Lao Bi got off the helicopter, Li Qi and Song Qi were already waiting outside the military base.
Lao Bi saw Li Qi and Song Qi coming to greet them, and said with a smile:
"Before we set off, I made a bet with the city lord that you wouldn't be able to spot me when I landed. I didn't expect you to react so quickly."
Song Qi pointed to the mountain and said, "We have patrol teams patrolling around during the day."
Lao Bi waved his hand behind him, "Bring it down."
"These are mooncakes produced at the headquarters base. There are sixty-eight pieces in total. Based on the number of you, each of you will have one."
"Moon cakes?" Li Qi's brows twitched, and then she remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival seemed to be coming soon.
The headquarters base is so considerate that they don’t forget to distribute mooncakes to their members who are out on missions.
"What kind of stuffing is it?" Song Qi asked with a smile.
Lao Bi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I haven't opened it, and I don't know what flavor it is inside."
After seeing the team members carrying down two boxes of mooncakes, he turned to Li Qi and the others and said:
"Okay, the mooncakes have been delivered. We have to rush to Oil City. See you soon."
"Thank you, Captain Bi."
"It's okay, I'm just completing the mission at the base."
After saying that, he returned to the helicopter and quickly took off towards Oil City.
Li Qi, Song Qi and others watched the helicopter leave and focused their attention on the two boxes of mooncakes.
Xiaoluo took out a dagger and cut open the packaging tape.
The mooncakes were packed in paper bags. She took them out.
Golden color, crispy crust.
The baked mooncake exudes a faint aroma, and the surface is engraved with the icon pattern of the camphor tree base, a big tree, symbolizing vitality.
This kind of mooncake is different from the mooncakes produced in factories before the apocalypse. No additives are added. The ingredients are very solid and there is no taste of additives or flavors.
“It smells so good!”
"I haven't eaten mooncakes for a long, long time, wow!"
"I used to hate eating mooncakes. In recent years, I couldn't eat any mooncakes every time I wanted to during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I didn't expect that I would actually eat mooncakes this year."
"Very good!"
Everyone gathered around the two boxes of mooncakes and were excited.
Seeing that everyone was very happy, Li Qi smiled and said to Xiao Luo: "Give it out, one for each person."
A portion of mooncakes is small, but the base distributes mooncakes to remember them who are stationed here, which makes Li Qi and others feel warm in their hearts.
As they are stationed at the Wu City military base, the surroundings are deserted and far away from the Oil City and the headquarters base. Except for the occasional transportation team to their side, they usually cannot see other humans.
Mooncakes...Mid-Autumn Festival...means reunion.
At this moment, Li Qi suddenly missed her friends at the headquarters base and Oil City.
Maybe there will be no chance to reunite in the future.
Fortunately, Zuo Ruxue is in charge of the transportation brigade and can be seen a few times every month.
But Zhu Xiao, Guo Peng, Yu Lei, and Yu Ming don't know when they will be able to meet each other.
Nowadays, everyone is scattered in three or four places for the development of the base. It is really difficult to get together.
Song Qi didn't think too much. After receiving his piece of mooncake, he opened the bag and took a big bite of the mooncake.
"Holy crap! This is the best mooncake I have ever eaten, so delicious!"
The outer skin is crispy and layered, with a slight sweetness, while the inner filling is dense and delicate, sweet but not greasy. This mooncake has a crispy outer skin, and the filling is filled with bean paste and various dried fruits.
The taste is very good.
Song Qi just took a bite and put the rest of the mooncake back into the paper bag.
He will wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to eat the remaining mooncakes.
.......
Four forty-nine in the evening.
Lao Bi drove a helicopter to the Oil City.
"Oh, Director Luo came to greet me. I'm flattered." Lao Bi teased when he got off the plane and saw Lao Luo walking towards me.
Lao Bi, Lao Luo and Lao Yi all joined the Da Zhangshu Base from Lao Ye.
The relationship is excellent.
According to his rank, Lao Luo is Lao Bi's leader. After all, Lao Bi's helicopter brigade is affiliated with the Operations Department.
When Lao Luo heard what Lao Bi said, he punched him directly in the chest.
"Old boy, your mouth is still so bad."
"Where are the mooncakes? Where are they?"
Lao Bi pointed behind him, "Inside the helicopter, I have brought you 6,500 mooncakes, one for each person at Level 3 and above. Level 4 staff can purchase one with 2 points, and the rest will be sold in the trading market.
"
"Well, the president told me in the afternoon." Lao Luo nodded.
He then shouted to the team members behind him: "Tai'a, help them bring down the mooncakes."
Lao Bi quickly added: "Don't move it by mistake. Some of them will be sent to the north tomorrow. There are marks on them. Xiao He, you move with them."
Afterwards, the two left the tarmac.
The two chatted on the way to the conference room.
"We asked the spy to contact the northwest boss at noon today."
"Oh? How was it? What did we talk about."
Lao Luo said with a solemn expression: "Through the spy's mouth, I told their boss some irrelevant information. In addition... I don't know if this can deceive their boss."
"Why do you think so much? Soldiers will come to block it, and water will come and earth will cover it."
"You think it's easy, you were like this when you were in the army..."
"Hahaha, isn't that just like that for people? The more you think, the more troubles you have. We have to learn from that old Xie."

"I will go to the north tomorrow, I told Lao Xie..."
...
It's getting late.
Night falls, and the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the moon becomes fuller and the moonlight becomes brighter and brighter.
Tonight, mooncakes will be distributed to all personnel above level 3.
In the Oil City canteen, every person queuing up for a meal will be given a moon cake.
After Lao Huang finished his day's work, he returned to the cafeteria to prepare food. Xiao Ye has been following him recently.
Su Qian gave Lao Huang a mooncake after her routine.
"What is this?" The outside is wrapped with a layer of yellow wood pulp paper, so you can't tell what's inside from the outside.
Su Qian smiled and said: "These are the Mid-Autumn mooncakes just sent from the headquarters base. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
"moon cake?"
When Lao Huang heard this, he was stunned and stayed where he was.
Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes made him think a lot for a while, and he thought of many things in his mind.
Yue is the hometown of Ming, but his hometown can never go back.
The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion.
But he no longer has any biological family members.
He took the mooncake, his eyes a little dim.
"Old Huangtou, your paw is starving to death, so let me get some food." Xiaoye shouted from behind.
"You bastard!" Old Huang's dim eyes gradually recovered.
Although he has no blood relatives, he at least has a son who recognizes his godson, and he can be regarded as his grandfather.
After going through so much, even though they are not my parents, they are better than my parents.
He made way for Xiaoye to prepare rice and walked aside with the rice bowl in hand.
Xiaoye's exclamation came from behind: "I'm going to give out the moon cakes and these things! The cow has been given away!"
Lao Huang had a smile on his face, this kid always made such a fuss.
"Director Huang." A person walked towards me.
"Doctor Ni." Lao Huang turned his head and saw Ni Kuangkuang.
This Ni Kuangkuang used to be from the northern border, and was later dragged to the headquarters base.
Later, during the operation to support the Oil City, he was sent here. Because of his superb medical skills and his down-to-earth integrity, he was appointed as the director of the Trading Market Hospital.
"What's that in your hand?" Ni Kuang pointed to the mooncake in his hand.
"Mooncakes, they said they were just delivered by the headquarters base this evening."
"Mooncake? Tsk! It's so good!" Ni Guangda exclaimed in admiration.
He missed his son. He was sent to Oil City, but his son stayed at the headquarters base.
I don’t know when I will be able to return to the headquarters base.
With complicated emotions, Ni Kuangkuang separated from Lao Huang and went to the window to get food.
Xiaoye and Lao Huang sat side by side, "Lao Huang..."
"Call Grandpa."
"Old Huangtou."
"Call grandpa and I'll give you mooncakes."
"Who cares? I have it myself..."
As he spoke, he changed the topic and seemed to think of something,
He said with some sadness: "I don't know how the imperial concubine is doing..."
As Lao Huang ate his rice and shook his hands, he also thought of the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine formed a team with the two of them, one old, one young and one female.
The three-person team has been together since they joined the Da Zhangshu base. They have experienced many things together and have a deep relationship. Lao Huang almost regards the imperial concubine as his granddaughter.
After the central meeting at the headquarters base, Lao Huang was sent to the trading market, and the imperial concubine went to the Civil Armed Forces Department to serve as the captain of the tenth team.
"She doesn't have many acquaintances over there in the north. It would be great if she came to Oil City together, and Zhong Chuchu and the others are here." Lao Huang sighed, shook his head and said.
People in the last days have seen too many bad things: bad people, bad things, and bad scenes.
But, you will also meet some good people.
Especially when we have gone through some difficult years together, every time we think about it, we feel how precious it is.
"Sister Guifei is the captain of the Northern Territory, so she must be very domineering!" Xiao Ye said with a beaming eyebrow.
Lao Huang looked at his excited expression and lamented that the young man's sadness went away as quickly as it came.
........
For those who are on duty, their mooncakes are placed on their beds to ensure that every personnel above level three receives a mooncake.
Nearly 4,000 mooncakes were distributed, and there were still 3,500 mooncakes left.
"Minister, according to the city lord's wishes, the remaining mooncakes are to be distributed to level 4 and level 5 personnel for them to use their points to purchase." Lao Bi said to his third uncle.
The third uncle looked at the boxes placed outside, "Well, you don't need to tell me, just let Lao Luo handle it."
"Okay." Lao Bi nodded.
Find Lao Luo and give him this task.
Lao Luo thought it would be troublesome to call all the fourth-level personnel here, so he simply had the mooncakes delivered to a self-operated hotel in the trading market business district.
Because some Level 4 personnel may be reluctant to use two points to buy mooncakes.
After all, there are some Level 4 personnel who have come through the most miserable and difficult days. Many of them climbed the fence during thunderstorms and used their lives to buy food.
Now that their lives are better, although they can afford two, they may not be willing to part with them.
Send all the mooncakes to self-operated restaurants, and then announce them on the radio, and people who want to buy them will naturally come.
So far, there are three self-operated food stores in the trading market. One is the No. 2 store, named Oil City Hotel, which specializes in selling low-priced food, such as corn tortillas and multigrain cakes.
side.
There is a No. 10 store called He Lexuan, which has relatively high prices and exquisite stir-fries, which are not within the reach of ordinary people.
One is Shop No. 34, a grocery store that sells a variety of items, such as kudzu root, dried sweet potatoes, and even expired cans and expired biscuits.
Lao Luo asked Li Zhengping to deliver all these mooncakes to Oil City Hotel No. 2.
Li Zhengping heard that there were mooncakes and asked curiously:
"Where's our patrol's share?"
Zhong Chuchu next to her said with a smile: "It has been distributed to your dormitory beds. You can get it when you are done."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh, that's it." Li Zhengping nodded.
Then, he directed his team members to carry the boxes containing mooncakes onto the pickup truck and deliver them to Store No. 2.
Ten minutes later.
Shop No. 2, Trading Market, Oil City Hotel.
The signboard is quite decent, simple and unpretentious, and does not stand out compared to other shops in the business district.
But this store is almost the busiest store in the entire trading market.
Because there are so many people coming here to buy tortillas every day, there is often a queue at this store.
This is right on the edge of the business district. When there are many people, they can even be queued outside the business district.
Li Zhengping saw so many people blocking the road ahead, so he said to the driver:
"There are too many people at the front entrance. Let's reverse the car and take the back entrance."
"Okay, Captain."
Put the reverse gear on and push the accelerator to reverse.
Arriving at the back door of the hotel, the commercial area has been expanding recently. There were no shops at the back door of the hotel, but now a row of stores have been built, but they are not as prosperous as the main street.
parking.
Li Zhengping got out of the car and said to the driver: "Let Ermao and the others bring in all the mooncakes."
With that said, he walked to the back door of the hotel. The back of the hotel was written as the kitchen area, and no one should enter.
Li Zhengping pulled the door open and it was locked.
Bang bang bang!
He slapped the back door hard.
Bang bang bang!
"Old Gong, open the door."
The door creaked open.
A man in a hat opened the door, his hands still stained with some corn stalk powder.
Seeing that it was Li Zhengping, the man quickly opened the door wider.
"Captain Li, why are you here?"
Li Zhengping nodded towards him, "Where is the old Gong? I have something to ask him."
"Besides, please open the door. There is a batch of mooncakes to be brought in."
"Mooncake, you mean mooncake?" The man looked at Li Zhengping in surprise.
"Yes, it was sent from the headquarters base."
"Brother Gong is checking the accounts in front."
After hearing this, Li Zhengping raised his feet and walked towards the front hall.
Store No. 2 is quite large, covering an area of 400 square meters on the first floor alone. There are four sales windows in the front, of which 300 square meters are dedicated to the back kitchen and central kitchen.
The upstairs is used to store some raw materials for making tortillas and multigrain cakes.
He walked to the front hall and saw a mustachioed man sitting behind a computer, looking at it intently.
"Old Gong!"
Gong Wanyi looked up and saw Li Zhengping, with a wrinkled face.
"Brother, I've called you eldest brother. You can either call me Gong Wan or Lao Wan. Don't call me Lao Gong. It can easily cause misunderstanding! Brother!"
Li Zhengping curled his lips, he didn't care about being particular about anything, why would Gong Lao Er be so particular about it?
I walked over and looked at his computer. The forms were full of numbers and names.
He looked dizzy.
"The headquarters base has sent a batch of mooncakes to be sold here. Level 4 personnel will receive 2 points each, and level 5 personnel will receive 5 points each. You will hang out to sell them later."
"Mooncakes? How much do you sell them for? 5 points!?" Upon hearing this, Gong Wan stood up and asked in shock:
