Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 80 Canteen (Thanks to Mu Jiangyi for the tip!)

Ma Yuan felt that the wooden box descended in the deep passage for about ten seconds. With the slight impact sound, he knew that he should have reached the underground city.

After the wooden box reached the ground, Yu Shuaikang gently pulled the tree roots three times, then said loudly, "Follow me, I will take you to the cafeteria first", and then led everyone forward.

After walking only a few dozen meters, everyone saw an unfinished building that looked a bit sloppy.

There were seven or eight people in the building, carrying things and walking back and forth, busy at work. There was also the smell of food wafting in the air, and everyone realized that this was the cafeteria.

After confirming that the transferred personnel would live on the second floor of the underground city, Yao Chengcheng arranged for people to start building a canteen on the first floor. However, there were too few people, and currently the canteen is still very simple, with no entrance for picking up food and no complete kitchen.

There were only some low tables, chairs, benches and tableware. Of course, these tableware were all made of wood. After all, with Li Mu around, the thing Wanling City had the most was wood.

With the addition of a few earthen stoves made of mud and stones, on which were placed a few large iron pots that had been collected before, at least some simple meals could be prepared.

Before leaving, Yao Chengcheng arranged in advance for a group of residents to come to the basement to cook.

Before everyone set off, around four or five in the morning, these people had already come to the basement and started working with these simple stoves.

Fortunately, the meals that needed to be prepared were relatively simple, with only two dishes, boiled potatoes and vegetable stew.

Under Yu Shuaikang's arrangement, Ma Yuan arrived and sat down at the dining table, only to see that the table was already filled with yellow blocky food.

Ma Yuan observed these fist-sized blocks, and after careful identification, he finally had a guess about what they were.

As everyone sat down, Yu Shuaikang held up the morning glory and said calmly:
"Your staple food is potatoes. When everyone arrives, each person will be given a piece of meat and a vegetable soup.

Except for the meat sticks, which are limited to one stick per person per day, potatoes and vegetable soup are available in unlimited quantities during meals until you are full. "

After saying this, he paused for a moment, then continued in a serious tone,
"However, these foods can only be eaten in the cafeteria and are not allowed to be taken away privately. If anyone fails to comply with the regulations, they will be recorded in the register for the first time they are discovered, and will be punished for the second time. The severity of the punishment will depend on the circumstances. But if it happens a third time, the violator will be directly expelled from Wanling City!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard that food was supplied unlimitedly. The little thoughts that had arisen in their minds when they first heard about the subsequent punishment were all dispelled.

After finally getting to a place where they have no worries about food and drink, who would be willing to risk losing everything by stealing?

And if you are expelled from the city, you will probably die.

Yu Shuaikang glanced at the people below with different expressions, and there was not much ripple in his heart.

Although Wanling City has no shortage of food but people, not everyone will be accepted. Those who refuse to change after repeated admonitions are tantamount to black sheep, and it is best to eliminate them as soon as possible.

After a quick glance, Yu Shuaikang spoke again, "You guys will tell the rules to the people coming later, so I won't repeat them again."

After finishing speaking, Yu Shuaikang turned and walked towards the passage, thinking in his heart as he walked:

"We'll get a bigger wooden sign with all the rules written on it later, and hang it in a conspicuous place, so we don't have to explain the rules every time a new person comes."

When Yu Shuaikang walked to the passage, he saw another group of people sitting in wooden boxes on the underground floor. He pointed in the direction of the cafeteria and said,
"The cafeteria is over there, go there and eat first."

After saying that, he sat on the wooden box and came back to the ground.

"Why are you here? Is there nothing to do downstairs?" Yao Chengcheng asked Yu Shuaikang as he walked out of the wooden box.

"Now we are just arranging meals, there is nothing to be busy about, don't worry, I have already explained the rules to them.

But I just discovered a problem in the cafeteria, and now I’m in a hurry to find Lao Li to solve it.”

Yu Shuaikang waved his hand indifferently, and then explained to Yao Chengcheng.

When Yao Chengcheng heard that Yu Shuaikang had something to do with Li Mu, he stopped asking questions and nodded to signal him to go and do his work first.

After walking through the crowd, Yu Shuaikang soon arrived at the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Mu leaning quietly on the chair, with his head down and muttering to himself, as if he was thinking about something and looked very distressed.

Seeing this, Yu Shuaikang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Old Li, have all the people in the shelter left?"

Li Mu saw that it was Yu Shuaikang who interrupted his thoughts, and replied unhappily,

"I have already given them the seeds of the fruit trees and the seedlings of the Everbright Tree. If they don't leave now, they will stay for dinner!"

Yu Shuaikang could hear the unkindness in Li Mu's tone, but he didn't care. He just smiled and continued to ask,

"You look so sad, are you in any trouble?"

Li Mu did not answer Yu Shuaikang's question, but asked curiously,

“Shouldn’t you be down there dealing with the new residents at this time?
You came here so soon, have you dealt with everything?"

Yu Shuaikang's face became serious when he heard this. "I have almost dealt with the new residents, but I happened to find a serious flaw in the underground city."

Li Mu exclaimed softly when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "What serious flaws does the dungeon have?"

"Old Li, didn't you find that the air in the underground city is very stuffy?

There is only one crane tunnel leading to the ground on the underground floor, and there are no other ventilation outlets.

Although there are some plants down there, there is a cafeteria on the first floor that is constantly burning firewood, which causes the oxygen to drop quickly. When I went down, I already felt the air was a bit stuffy. "

Hearing the question raised by Yu Shuaikang, Li Mu couldn't help but stroke his forehead, feeling a little helpless.

When he built the underground city, he only considered the overall framework and drainage, but did not consider the ventilation problem.

“Well, after all, I didn’t study interior design. I can do some infrastructure work, but I really don’t know these details.

Now that you mention it, I guess there are still many details in the dungeon that have not been dealt with well, but now no one understands them, so we can only solve one problem at a time."

"Let's go, let's go and solve the ventilation problem first."

Li Mu was a little speechless when faced with such a question. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals, and it would not work to expect him, a layman.

So he pulled Yu Shuaikang towards the underground city, feeling in his heart that Wanling City was really short of professional talents!
Special people for special tasks, this is my idea. After all, the protagonist cannot do all the work alone, so we need to recruit survivors, and the construction of the dungeon will be handed over to professionals, and the protagonist will continue to concentrate on studying plants.
