Among them, corn tortillas and sweet potato tortillas are sold at the same price, both costing 0.25 points each.
The dried biscuits are very solid and can basically satisfy an adult man for one meal.
These cakes are added with a small amount of sugar, cooking oil, and some dried vegetables.
In addition, the sales price is extremely low, and it has been well received by many survivors.
It is also the main food for survivors in the current trading bazaar.
Store No. 2 has six windows, and now five are open.
The window was sealed with glass and there was only a hole about 30cm x 30cm in the middle.
Window No. 1.
After the man in front left,
Hong Lele quickly walked up, took out a white number plate from his pocket and handed it over.
"Hello, I'd like a corn tortilla and a sweet potato pancake, thank you."
The staff inside the window picked up the number plate and handed it to the person next to him to deduct the corresponding points.
Then I used a tong to pick up a piece of corn tortilla, and then picked up a piece of potato pancake, and pushed it to the window.
"There are no bags today, you can just take it."
When Hong Lele heard this, he had no choice but to reach out and take out a piece of cloth from his arms and wrap the two pieces of cake.
"OK."
The staff inside also deducted points and handed out Hong Lele's number plate.
"A total of 0.5 points, the balance is 23.2 points, this is the list, keep it."
Hong Lele took the list ticket and number plate, confirmed the numbers on the ticket, nodded and said:
"OK, thanks."
Then she left with a list, ticket, and number plate in one hand and a tortilla wrapped in a rag in the other.
The temperature has dropped a lot in recent days.
In the morning it was only over ten degrees Celsius, which was a bit cold.
The tortillas had just come out of the oven and were still warm. She put the tortillas in her arms and felt the warmth in her arms. She felt an indescribable sense of solidity and walked quickly towards the living area.
It's still early, the gate of the trading market has not yet opened, and the construction site has not started yet.
But we have to gather and get ready at eight o'clock.
Ever since my father Hong Fu was injured after falling down at a construction site, he has not recovered yet.
After a hundred days of straining his muscles and bones, Hongfu suffered a fracture, so he still needed to recuperate.
However, you can still save your life after falling from the construction site building, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.
And because the accident occurred on a construction site, Oil City waived their treatment costs.
Hong Fu has been discharged from the hospital in the past two days, but his bones are still recovering and he cannot return to work at the construction site.
Without work, there will be no points and nothing will happen.
They didn't save many points to begin with,
Staying in the trading market will consume points every day.
Points are required for food, drink and accommodation, and the remaining points are getting less and less.
Hong Fu's inspector Zhang Shi took pity on their father and daughter, so he signed up Hong Lele for the construction of a buffer city and gave her a place.
When Hong Lele learned about it, she was overjoyed.
In the past, her father was her supporter, but now that her father is injured, she can still support her.
She was in a hurry, she had to deliver the tortillas to her father quickly, and then she had to rush to the square to gather, and then they went out of the city to work on the buffer city wall construction site.
These two pieces of cake are both for my father.
She had a meal package at the construction site and would hand out corn tortillas to the workers when they arrived at the square.
Walking quickly in small steps, she returned to the residential area 7 minutes later.
"Good morning, Uncle Liu." Hong Lele returned to his residence and saw Liu Shengsheng.
Liu Shengsheng and his father Hong Fu are close friends. The last time his father was injured, when Oil City did not announce that they would be exempted from treatment costs, Uncle Liu took the initiative to use all his points to help them.
It can be seen that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
What's more, in this kind of apocalypse, it is even more precious and rare.
Liu Shengsheng just got up and nodded when he saw Hong Lele and said with a smile:
"Buying cakes for your dad again?"
"Yeah, you have to go early, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with work." Hong Lele placed the pancake on his father's bedside.
Hong Fu was still sleeping, and Hong Lele did not wake him up.
After she simply tidied up, she walked to the square with Liu Shengsheng.
The building of the previous trading bazaar has been completed, but other projects in the trading bazaar have not yet been completed.
When Liu Shengsheng and Hong Lele arrived at the meeting point in the square, thousands of workers had already gathered in the square.
Several pickup trucks loaded with hot pancakes were at the front, distributing pancakes to the workers.
When working on a construction site, I have to take care of myself twice.
Give one piece of cake before starting work and one piece of cake at noon.
After work in the evening, give each of them 0.5 to 1 point.
Depending on the type of work, the points awarded are also different.
There are many types of work, such as carpentry, masonry, steel workers, concrete workers, crane workers, electricians, mechanics, surveyors, waterproofers, shelf workers, handymen, etc.
Jobs like handyman generally only have 0.5 points.
High-risk jobs such as scaffolding that require standing at high places are worth 0.8 points per day.
The jobs with the highest points generally require relatively high technical content and cannot be done by ordinary newcomers.
For example, formworkers or crane workers earn higher points.
Hong Lele is a newcomer in the construction industry, so she can only start as a handyman and receive the minimum 0.5 points per day.
However, Hong Lele is already very satisfied with this.
"Newcomers, hurry up and get the tortillas. We will leave the city in fifteen minutes." Ding Wu shouted with a loudspeaker.
Upon hearing this, Hong Lele hurried to the pickup truck to get the tortillas.
She took the hot tortillas and walked to the side with Liu Shengsheng.
Eating the tortilla in small bites.
The tortillas were warm, and having a hot bite in the morning made her extremely satisfied.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Life is getting better.
At this time, she was as happy as a little hamster, squinting her eyes when she smiled.
Among a group of rough men, she, a teenage girl, squinted her eyes and smiled, like a beam of light.
She took a few bites, took out a bottle of water from her small backpack, took a few sips, and then continued eating tortillas.
In the gloomy morning, she had a longing for a better future and a small sense of happiness in her heart.
The journey has not been easy.
After the death of her family, only she and her father were left.
When her father fell from the building at the construction site, her sky fell.
Now that her father's injury has been treated, she can also rely on her own efforts to earn points and support her father, which makes her very grateful.
She is grateful for coming to the trading market and grateful for the opportunity given to her by the Oil City.
She is like a tenacious grass in the storm, growing up in the storm until the sun comes out.
Ding ding ding——
The iron rod struck the gong, echoing in the square.
Liu Shengsheng stuffed the tortilla into his mouth and said to Hong Lele:
"Lele, I'm going over, please be careful at the construction site."
"Okay, goodbye Uncle Liu." Hong Lele nodded.
She and Liu Shengsheng were not at the same construction site. Liu Shengsheng continued to work at the trading market construction site, while she was going to build a wall in the buffer city.
Ding Wu banged the gong and asked them to line up and walk together to the gate of Wengcheng, the trading market.
More than two thousand workers lined up and left the trading market before other survivors who left the city.
Arriving at the construction site, Hong Lele put on the white helmet he received and followed the team leader to the east wall construction site.
Today we are still laying foundations, and the foundation of the buffer city wall built reaches ten meters.
Now that the excavation has been completed, the next step is to install the formwork, put in the tied steel bars, and fix it with grouting concrete.
"Lele, please join me later and help me fix the template." The team leader turned to her and said.
"Okay, team leader." Hong Lele nodded.
Perhaps it was because she was young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was working on the construction site as a girl.
Therefore, the group leader took great care of her and often asked her to cooperate with him.
Under the gloomy sky, the construction of the buffer city wall outside the trading market started.
Ten minutes later, the hanging tower also opened.
The sound of various mechanical equipment operating was heard on the construction site.
........
Oil City.
Li Yu opened the window and stretched out.
call--
He stayed in the Oil City Trading Market for two or three days, and his inspection tour was almost complete.
The most important thing is to send people from the trading market back to the headquarters base. The candidates were finalized last night. Next, we will wait for the third uncle to send people back to the headquarters base.
I've been doing inspections for the past two days and I'm quite satisfied.
The oil production wells in Oil City are operated in a very standardized manner, the trading market commercial area is operating very well, beyond his expectations, and the trading market wall defense is also very systematic...
Except for Li Yuan's encounter with a drunkard last night, everything else was pretty good.
When the third uncle learned about this, he was quite angry.
We plan to wait until Li Yu leaves to strengthen the operation and management of the business district to prevent such things from happening.
Third Uncle has always been more confident in the management of the trading market, so Li Yu didn't tell Lao Huang and the others when he came over.
Li Yu started to inspect the trading market as soon as he got off the plane.
It was like the trading market he saw was the most realistic state without any preparation work in advance.
Third Uncle doesn't like face-saving projects very much. If it's all false during inspections, it's better not to do inspections at all.
So every time Li Yu came over, the third uncle didn't tell the people below.
The room Li Yu lives in has two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.
When he wakes up in the morning, he habitually exercises.
However, it was not convenient to run in the oil city, so he did push-ups in the living room.
300 push-ups, 300 sit-ups, and 300 squats.
He was in excellent physical condition and after doing this, there was just a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
I took a towel and walked to the toilet.
Open the faucet and test the water temperature.
After a brief shower, he put on clean combat uniform and went downstairs.
While eating breakfast, he said to his third uncle:
"Third uncle, I will go to the north today."
The third uncle was a little surprised, "Isn't it tomorrow? You've only been here for two days."
Li Yu shook his head and said:
"I've seen everything that needs to be inspected. Let's go to the north as soon as possible."
"In addition, the reinforcement workers dispatched by Uncle San to the headquarters base should be arranged as soon as possible. The headquarters is still waiting."
"Okay, we can leave today. It is expected that these workers will arrive the day after tomorrow." The third uncle nodded.
If worker No. 2500 were transported by helicopter alone, it would take at least dozens of helicopters to transport them at the same time.
There are less than ten helicopters in Oil City, and their carrying capacity is limited.
It's better to send people back by truck.
Moreover, these people all have their own luggage and packages, and the helicopter cannot accommodate so many things.
It’s time to eat.
Over at the helipad, the relevant ground staff also checked the helicopter and filled it with fuel.
Before leaving, Li Yu took out a small sachet from the helicopter and handed it to his third uncle.
"Third uncle, this is the peace charm that grandma asked me to bring to you. He said that you should pay attention to safety outside. You should carry the peace charm with you to keep yourself safe."
The third uncle was stunned and took the folded square peace charm from Li Yu's hand.
"Where did your grandma get the peace charm?" asked the third uncle.
Li Yu scratched his head and said awkwardly:
"Um... Sanqing Temple, didn't our headquarters base's fourth outer city build a Taoist temple for Qingxiao and the others? Grandma asked for it from there."
The third uncle didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he hung the peace charm around his neck and placed it close to his skin.
"It's pretty good. How are your breasts and your health?"
Li Yu nodded and said:
"It's pretty good. I play badminton every now and then. Now I've set up a marriage agency at the headquarters base and started working as a matchmaker."
The third uncle is dumbfounded, marriage agency? Matchmaker?
"The old lady can't sit still. She has something to do and doesn't think too much about it. It's good. It can also promote the population growth of the headquarters base. She should be supported."
Li Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I think so too."
If the elderly do not bother themselves and become busy, they will easily think too much and even bother the younger generations.
"Um."
"Uncle Third, I'm leaving." Li Yu had nothing more to say, nodded towards Uncle Third, and then walked towards the helicopter.
A few minutes later.
The third uncle looked at the helicopter flying into the sky and touched his chest.
An alloy dog tag that has been worn for many years,
