Chapter 93 You actually have sweet potatoes, that’s awesome.
The two snowmobiles left without any obstruction and soon disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Watching the snowmobile disappear, the crowd once again broke out into discussions.
"Just leave like that?"
"What kind of base is this? Not only did they not take us with them, but after we went there, they also asked us to work for them for free, including fifty pounds of fuel! If I could find so much in one day, I wouldn't be able to burn it at home.
?"
"I don't think this is an official base at all. Maybe it's using the guise of an official base to trick us into working for them!"
"I think so! No dog will go to this shitty base. Are you going?"
"Of course I won't go. Wouldn't it be nice for him to stay at home? Why should he go there and suffer."
"Even if it's true, I won't go!"
While everyone was talking, they all looked at each other with complex expressions in their eyes. As for what they were thinking, only they themselves knew.
Seeing that everyone was gradually dispersing, Nan Ci and the other two also looked away, turned around and walked back to sit on the sofa.
As soon as she sat down, Mu Qianqian couldn't help but ask, "Are they really not going to the base?"
Hearing Mu Qianqian's words, Nan Ci and the other three looked at her at the same time.
Nan Ci looked smiling, Zhou Ziyang looked helpless, and the old Taoist priest laughed out loud.
"Qianqian, your idea is too simple." Zhou Ziyang touched Mu Qianqian's head, "The reason they said that is probably because they don't want too many people in the base. There aren't that many people."
When people go to the base, won't their accommodation environment be better?"
When Mu Qianqian heard this, her eyes widened with disbelief, "Is this really true? I thought they really didn't want to go to the base!"
The old Taoist priest did not continue to discuss this topic, but suddenly raised another question.
"You tell me, why does the base publicize its existence everywhere, and why does it want all the survivors to go there?"
Mu Qianqian looked at the old Taoist priest more and more strangely, "Taoist priest, what you said is very strange. After all, the base is official, and they should consider the people."
"That's true." The old Taoist priest's eyes became meaningful, "But a base has not been completely built, and the conditions in all aspects are very average, and the number of people it can accommodate is also very limited. In this case, it is not possible to
It should be publicized widely, otherwise if the load of the base is exceeded and problems arise in the operation of the base, the consequences will be more serious."
Listening to the old Taoist priest's words, Mu Qianqian felt that it was very reasonable, and nodded subconsciously, "Why is that?"
The old Taoist priest looked out the window, "Maybe it's because, in the official view, if the survivors don't go to the base, it may cause more serious consequences."
As for what the consequences would be, the old Taoist priest did not say, and Mu Qianqian did not ask further questions.
The four people fell silent, and they could only hear the occasional crackling sound of the firewood in the big pot.
In this situation, Nan Ci suddenly wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
When you are in a bad mood, eating something sweet will make you feel better.
Thinking of this, Nan Ci stood up directly, "I still have some sweet potatoes over there. I'll get some and bake them."
Mu Qianqian, who had a complicated look on her face just now, immediately laughed after hearing these words, and her spirit returned.
"Nan Ci, you actually have sweet potatoes? That's amazing!"
Before the end of the world, sweet potatoes were the most common food, with yields of more than 10,000 kilograms per mu.
All year round, no matter what day you want to eat sweet potatoes, you can buy all kinds of sweet potatoes as long as you go to the supermarket.
If you don’t want to make it yourself, go for a walk on the street. You can buy baked sweet potatoes in stores or in the streets and alleys.
But now, it is even harder to eat a sweet roasted sweet potato.
Mu Qianqian herself had forgotten how long it had been since she had roasted sweet potatoes.
Just thinking about that sweet taste makes your mouth water.
Mu Qianqian's somewhat gluttonous appearance successfully pleased Nan Ci.
For a foodie, it is very rewarding to find like-minded foodie friends.
"I prefer to eat, so I bought a lot, and now I still have quite a lot left."
As Nan Ci said that, he walked towards the door, opened the door and went out.
As soon as he walked out, he saw that the door of room 3201 was also opened, and Li Chuang walked out.
At this time, Li Chuang looked a little hasty, and even showed a surprised expression when he saw Nan Ci.
"Nan Ci? Are you planning to pack up and go to the base?"
Nan Ci shook his head, "We're not going."
Li Chuang was surprised for a moment, but then nodded with understanding, "You are all capable people. You are neither old nor young. You can live well at home without going to the base. It's not like me.
With a family of two, an elder and a younger one, I really can’t support myself at home.”
No matter the elderly or children, their resistance to cold is not as good as that of young adults.
If you let them stay next to a fire source, they may not be able to withstand it, let alone go out to look for fuel.
Li Chuang and his wife have to go out to look for supplies and fuel, and they have to worry about the safety of the elderly and children at home when they are away from home. It is indeed physically and mentally exhausted.
In this case, going to the base is actually a good choice.
At least inside the base, safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.
Although she didn’t have a close relationship with Li Chuang, whether it was a submarine or a courier transfer station, Nan Ci accepted Li Chuang’s affection. After thinking about it, Nan Ci still gave him a reminder.
"There should be a lot of fuel left from before, right? Bring two barrels over, maybe it will have unexpected effects."
Li Chuang's eyes lit up, "Nan Ci, you mean..."
Nan Ci curled her lips, "I didn't say anything."
After saying this, Nan Ci went home directly and closed the door.
At the moment the door closed, Nan Ci heard Li Chuang's voice.
"Thanks for the reminder."
Nan Ci did not respond, but found the sweet potato from the space.
If you want roasted sweet potatoes to be delicious, you must choose long and thin sweet potatoes.
When this kind of sweet potato is roasted, it will be heated more evenly, and there will be no situation where the outer skin has become charred and the inner core is not yet cooked.
Taking out a plastic bag and putting a dozen slender sweet potatoes inside, Nan Ci opened the door and walked out.
Just as she walked to the next door, the door opened from the inside. Mu Qianqian poked her head and looked out, "Are you back? Come in, come in!"
Nan Ci followed the words and walked in, smiling and handing the bag in his hand to Mu Qianqian, "You are not waiting for me, but you are waiting for the sweet potatoes!"
Mu Qianqian said seriously, "Nonsense! Of course I'm waiting for you! I'm just waiting for the sweet potatoes!"
