Wasteland scavenging, fat girl takes the sick and disabled family away

Chapter 336 Smoke from the Chimneys
Under the strict enforcement of the old regime's regulations, each of the more than two thousand laborers was assigned a porcelain bowl.

The other hundreds or thousands of laborers living on the other side of the garbage mountain do not have such mandatory regulations.

Shi Yuebai's current abilities are insufficient; he can only manage the two thousand-plus laborers inside the garbage mountain and his lair.

After all, there were more than two thousand laborers who had been with her for a relatively long time.

They were quite familiar with the types and content of work within the hideout.

No special training is needed to adapt to the work rhythm in the nest.

On the contrary, everyone adapted very well to this intense work pace.

They have learned how to find enjoyment in their busy lives.

Moreover, the longer these laborers stay in the lair, the more naturally they will develop a sense of loyalty to it.

Even Ye Honglang, who previously had a lot of opinions about Laochao, is now a die-hard fan of Laochao.

Everyone knows that Shi Yuebai is the spiritual symbol of the lair, and loyalty to the lair is loyalty to Shi Yuebai.

Loyalty is a very valuable thing.

Shi Yuebai especially values ​​this loyalty.

As long as the laborers are loyal to her, it's worth it for Shi Yuebai to treat them well.

So Shi Yuebai began to force these two thousand-plus laborers to eat white rice.

This is all for the good of these laborers, not because the ever-increasing amount of rice is taking up a lot of her storage space.

Specifically, the hideout no longer provides the laborers with ready-made meals three times a day.

All the finished food products were placed in the ditch outside the same frame.

If the small ditches couldn't hold all the materials, then they were all piled up at the material yard.

They wait for an opportunity to take it out and exchange it with people outside for living supplies.

Therefore, these finished food products in the lair were no longer available to the laborers.

The old nest no longer calls on those laborers to gather outside the second wall every day to collect the finished food.

The rice was stored in the newsstand, and the laborers had to use small red flags to buy it.

Fortunately, rice is really cheap.

With just a small red flag, you can buy a lot of rice.

Even if the stronghold no longer provides the laborers with three meals a day, they can still afford to buy rice.

Also for sale at the newsstand were pots and pans that had been collected from the black monkeys.

The pots and pans that the black monkey gave to Shi Yuebai in exchange for were not many to begin with.

At most, there are only a few thousand.

But now, Shi Yuebai has given the order to stop providing the laborers with three meals a day.

The laborers needed to turn the rice into white rice, so they could only buy pots and pans from newsstands.

Some laborers neither bought rice nor pots and pans.

They only used the little red flags they had saved to buy bottled water.

However, such people are a minority.

The survivors now are, apart from those infants who are only a few years old.

They all transitioned from the civilized world before the wasteland to the wasteland.

They still yearn for the warmth and comfort of everyday life.

So most of the more than two thousand laborers in the lair responded to the trend and used their accumulated red flags to buy pots, pans, and rice.

They had already whittled osmanthus branches into chopsticks.

When it was time to eat after finishing their work, a fire was lit in front of each tent.

There is no electricity or energy source in the lair.

But it's okay, their osmanthus trees are growing really well.

To turn rice into white rice, they used broken osmanthus branches to start a fire. In this way, they didn't have to worry about the osmanthus trees growing too tall and mutating.

Because more than two thousand survivors were breaking off branches of osmanthus trees next to their tents to make three meals a day.

The osmanthus tree, which grows wildly by absorbing snowmelt, can never grow very big.

Shi Yuebai himself hadn't expected this.

On a whim, he ordered the people in his lair to eat from bowls.

The result was an unexpected balance of resources within the lair.

Every day, I watch the people in these old nests, cooking and lighting fires in their tents at set times.

Shi Yuebai would often gaze absently at the wisps of smoke rising from the tents above.

More than a thousand tents were densely packed outside the second wall.

A small number of tents were also moved outside the third wall.

When it's mealtime, the tops of these tents are filled with the warmth and life of everyday people.

It actually created a very heartwarming scene.

Some of the more skillful laborers even used the thickest trunk of the osmanthus tree to carve it into a spatula.

Not only did they cook white rice, they also bought a lot of vegetables from the newsstand using small red flags.

I stir-fry one or two vegetables for each meal and eat them with white rice.

They seem to be enjoying their lives.

In such a state of affairs, the laborers in the lair could easily forget that they were living in the wasteland.

Some of the laborers who had never been granted permission to leave even harbored the idea that they would never want to leave their old lair until they died.

They no longer envy those who desperately use enhancement water to strengthen their bodies.

Because they have no desire to go out, they do not need to arm themselves.

But those laborers living on the garbage mountain didn't have such a good life.

Thanks to the young widow's secret efforts over this period, the number of laborers on the garbage mountain has grown to nearly a thousand.

These people have nowhere to sleep, and nowhere to eat, drink, or relieve themselves.

They didn't even know how they got to the top of the garbage mountain.

The only good thing is that there are no strange beasts around the top of Garbage Mountain where they are now.

If they find supplies on the top of the garbage mountain, they can also trade them for food with the few children who occasionally appear.

To make it easier for the children in the old nest to go to the top of the garbage mountain to exchange for living supplies.

Shi Yuebai specially set up a teleportation array on the top of the garbage mountain.

This took up about ten pounds of her energy, since the top of the garbage mountain was covered in messy cement and exposed steel bars.

Shi Yuebai had to expend some effort to create a flat area on the top of the garbage mountain.

So Shi Yuebai still has 350 jin left.

She felt that the extra fat was worth it.

The people going to exchange goods were mostly children; we couldn't expect them to climb up the mountain of garbage with their bare hands.

The entire mountain of garbage was wet.

Melted snow from outside will flow into the lair through the cracks in the garbage mountain.

Although those few strands of snowmelt will be absorbed by the osmanthus tree and Panax notoginseng.

But the current environment is not suitable for children to climb over the garbage mountain with their bare hands.

Those children who were able to go to the top of the garbage mountain were permitted by the school.

It's like the practical tasks assigned to the children by the school in the old nest.

Every day at this time, several students on duty will be sent to exchange ready-made food for daily necessities.

The students on duty each day are different, and they are assigned according to their student ID numbers.
