Gu Cheng almost laughed out loud. He almost spat out the insect meat that he had just bitten into his mouth. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance!"
The kebabs tasted pretty good. While chewing, Ye Han said vaguely, "That's because you don't understand me!"
The two of them were walking, eating and arguing. After a while, they had finished shopping half of the street. At this time, Ye Han suddenly found a group of people gathered in front of them, densely surrounding the street. Among the crowd, there was a person who was as tall as two people.
, an earthen oven as wide as one person, made of yellow mud and blue bricks.
Why an oven? Because Ye Han saw the fire under the stove.
This unusual scene caught Ye Han's attention, and he raised his chin in that direction: "What are they grilling?"
"I don't know!" Gu Cheng was also puzzled, "Go and take a look?"
"It's just such a thing, what can you tell?" Ye Han rejected Gu Cheng's suggestion and directly grabbed a passerby: "Brother, what is that roasted?"
When a passerby saw the armored rifle on the side of Ye Han's leg, his eyes lit up and he enthusiastically introduced: "That's a local specialty, roasted pupa!"
Ye Han heard clearly, but did not understand the meaning of the words: "What to bake?"
"Pupa, the pupa of a giant insect, you know?" the man explained simply.
Ye Han suddenly said: "I know what it is, thank you."
"You're welcome!" The passerby glanced at Ye Han's legs again before reluctantly leaving.
Ye Han subconsciously touched the armored pistol beside his leg, and suddenly became a little wary of the man just now.
It doesn't matter whether that person was just out of curiosity or had other ideas. What's important is that weapons are the second life of a soldier. No one can covet a soldier's weapons.
After serving in the army for many years, he has already developed the habit of never leaving his body with his gun. Moreover, now is the war era, and the special environment also requires soldiers to never leave their body with their gun.
As for the heavy recoil of the armored pistol, there is no need to worry. With Ye Han's current physique, let alone the slight recoil of the armored rifle, even if he shoots the rifle with one hand, he can hit the target steadily.
Cell fusion brings an overall improvement in physical fitness. Compared with ordinary people, Ye Han is almost the same as Superman.
Gu Cheng didn't notice Ye Han's abnormality at all. He looked at the clay stove expectantly: "How about some?"
"No, I won't eat that stuff." Ye Han said.
The pupa is indeed rich in nutrients, but he just doesn't like this bite.
"Forget it." Gu Cheng was a little disappointed, "There's no point in eating it by myself."
Ye Han advised: "This is a rare opportunity, you can eat whatever you want and leave me alone."
To be honest, the people in Qingtang are really creative. He once heard that there is one of the world's largest delicacies in the northwest called roasted camel. Even if the giant pupa in the stove is not as big as a camel, it is certainly not much smaller.
.
As expected of a citizen of a big foodie empire, no matter what time or circumstance, they never forget to study new delicacies according to local conditions - just by looking at the number of people surrounding the clay oven, you can judge how popular this roasted pupa dish is.
!
What Ye Han doesn't know is that the reason why this thing is so popular is not only because of its outstanding taste, but also because giant pupae are not that common and can only be encountered occasionally during the right season. This makes all the foodies in Qingtang sad.
, I wish I could eat fragrant roasted pupae every day.
Ye Han's suggestion made Gu Cheng's heart beat, but after hesitating for a moment, he still firmly shook his head and restrained his appetite.
After leaving the gathering crowd, Ye Han couldn't help but sigh: "That means Qingtang dares to let people out, otherwise, where would there be so much delicious food?"
"Isn't that right... The insect plague has wiped out so many animals, and many delicious foods will no longer be available to eat. However, if the old ones don't go away and the new ones don't come in, even if they are insects, we can still make them delicious!"
Ye Han strongly agreed with this: "That is, Qingtang dares to release people, otherwise, we would not be able to research so many delicious things..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Han was suddenly stunned - Qingtang took the initiative to let people out of the city and also provided weapons and material support. Could it be an extension of personnel management?
The same rice feeds all kinds of people, and not everyone can adapt to the strict management system of the city. Some people are willing to stay in the city to endure oppression and enjoy safety, while others would rather endure danger than stay in the city. This is something Qingtang has learned from
The clues can be seen from the number of mercenaries - Ye Han didn't know how many mercenaries there were at first, but after seeing so many vendors in the night market, he knew that the number of mercenaries was definitely indispensable.
Thinking of this, Ye Han had an idea: Is it really good to gather people together?
Suddenly, he thought of another problem: with the continuous advancement of technology, the domestic material supply is no longer as tight as in previous years, but the country still implements a strict rationing system. Perhaps it is not that the treatment cannot be improved, but that it is deliberately lowered.
Rationing standards are designed to force people out of the city and into the wilderness!
At first glance, such an idea is simply a joke, but if you think about it carefully, today's world is no longer the same earth as it used to be. The world has changed. If human beings are stuck in their ways and just hide in safe cities and cannot adapt to this dangerous new world, then
Sooner or later, human beings will be eliminated by the times.
The ancestors of human beings overcame thorny obstacles and tangled roads, and it took more than five thousand years of accumulation to go into space. Don't today's human beings even have the courage to leave the city and break into a new world?
As for whether Beidu will do this... Haha, it was a peaceful era before the war, and the emphasis was on human life, and any human life was an unbearable weight.
However, today is a war era, and human life is worth nothing. Although the northern capital has used fortresses and underground cities to protect most of its citizens, this method can only protect for a while, but not for a lifetime. A new way out must be found before the overall situation collapses.
.
And this point is precisely the most important point. No matter how the above arrangements are made, mistakes may occur. On the other hand, we must explore and develop little by little in order to minimize the chance of abnormal situations.
To use an official phrase, Beidu is playing a very big game of chess, and everyone is a piece on the chessboard.
Ye Han's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, and his slightly sluggish look fell into Gu Cheng's eyes, and he immediately realized that something was wrong with Ye Han.
Gu Cheng didn't know what Ye Han was thinking about, so he quickly pushed Ye Han: "What are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?"
Ye Han's thoughts were interrupted by Gu Cheng, who opened his mouth and smiled: "It's nothing, I just figured something out."
"As long as it's okay, you said so too, why are you standing in the middle of the road thinking about it?" Gu Cheng, who didn't know why, was nagging dissatisfied.
Ye Han knew what caring was and what complaining meant. Hearing the noise in his ears, he couldn't help but smile.
