Beating the New First-tier: Starting from Abandoned Gas Stations

Chapter 22 It’s good enough to eat instant noodles
"Uncle Liang, what do you want these for?"

Shen Chuan looked at Liang Xun in some surprise.

Judging from what Liang Xun wants and the current posture, it seems like he wants to build a house, but he's not too sure.

First of all, I had never talked to Liang Xun about his career before, so I didn’t know what he did.

Secondly, if you are building a house,
Doesn’t that just coincide with my own thoughts?

In order to complete it in the shortest possible time, you don’t need blue bricks or many laborers!

However, when Shen Chuan was about to ask more questions,
Liang Xun actually turned and walked towards the corner.
There lay his rucksack,

"Again, trust me and do as I say. I promise to solve the problem in the shortest possible time without embarrassing Brother Yang. As for the water and electricity problem, you have to find a way to solve it as soon as possible.
It’s impossible to supply them with pure water throughout the entire process.”

next moment,
Liang Xun said casually as he rummaged through his bag.

"Okay, I'll go check out the old gas station well later."

Looking at Liang Xun's back, who looked like he was trying his best to help him solve the problem, Shen Chuan swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of his tongue.

If I ask too much, I might feel a little disappointed with Liang Xun. After all, I said I believed him before!

But after thinking about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with Liang Xun's advice.

Water and electricity are also a problem at the gas station now. It would be best if they could be solved separately.

"Ok!"

Liang Xun took out a thick book that looked like a blueprint and came to the bedside. While flipping through it, he suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly,
"By the way, Xiao Shen, how much land is the property of your gas station? Can we use the surrounding Gobi Desert?"

"It works!"

Shen Chuan replied.

"As long as it works."

at the same time,

On National Highway 215, one hundred kilometers away from the gas station, a cycling team was resting and eating on a flat open space next to the highway.

This cycling team is Yang Xing’s team!

"The road is melting faster than expected. I think we can definitely complete this ride as planned."

Turning around and looking at the wet National Highway 215, a team member said so.

"almost!"

Yang Xing nodded.

"Captain, when do you estimate Boss Shen's gas station will open?"

At this time,

The female team member who was looking for Yang Xing's help at the gas station came over.

"what happened?"

"I called my brother and sister-in-law yesterday, and they immediately agreed to my nephew coming here to work as a gas station attendant. Now I want to ask when the gas station will be open so that I can ask them to prepare in advance."

Speaking of his nephew,
The female team members looked at Yang Xing with nothing but gratitude.

She understood very well.

If Yang Xing hadn't asked, no one would have agreed to let his nephew work as a gas station attendant.

"I'm not sure about that, but it should be quick! My friend is very reliable and his words should have some influence within Xiaguo Petroleum Company!"

After thinking about it, Yang Xing replied.

"Then I understand. I'll send them a message later."

The female team members were delighted.

She knew Yang Xing best. If he said it would be fast, then it would definitely not be slow.

"Hmm!" At this time, another male team member suddenly looked at Yang Xing,
"Captain, if Boss Shen's gas station officially opens, will we be able to enjoy the treatment of a first-level supply point on our return trip?"

The male team member seemed to have a good relationship with Yang Xing and knew a lot of things.

"What are you thinking? It's already great to be able to eat instant noodles!"

Mentioning the first-level supply point, Yang Xing smiled bitterly and said,

"In addition to providing a certain range of rescue services, our association's first-level supply points are also required to provide team members with at least one meat and two vegetable meals, as well as dedicated concrete spaces for tents with guaranteed water and electricity!

Do you think Xiao Shen’s gas station can be completed within 20 days?
Not to mention how difficult it is to cook one meat and two vegetables in that place, as for water, the old gas station must have drilled a well, and maybe it can be used after some repairs!
But what about electricity?
In the past, the Xia State Grid had a line running along the 215, but after the highway was built, the lines on the national highway were all removed and moved to the highway side.

After all,

Yang Xing couldn't help but sigh.

That's right!
What Yang Xing just said was the obligations and standards that the cycling association’s first-level supply points need to bear. It was not as complicated as Shen Chuan and Liang Xun thought.

"Oh, I'm overthinking it."

The male team member scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"The reason I want to make Xiao Shen's gas station a first-class refueling point is not because I want our association's members to be able to enjoy the real first-class refueling point services there, but because I want Xiao Shen to use the association's annual fees to stay there."

Yang Xing glanced at the east side of the national highway.

As the road conditions have improved, large trucks and semi-trailers can be seen moving forward on National Highway 215 every 20 to 30 minutes.

"The captain is right. Boss Shen's gas station is already lucky as long as it can survive. What else do you want from a bicycle? Their purpose in existence isn't to provide high-end services."

Another cyclist next to Yang Xing also said with a smile.

"Although Xiao Shen's supply point can't provide us with the standard supplies we need, his presence there is a reassurance for all the cyclists! Our confidence in crossing the Tama Gobi will be elevated to a new level.

Take this time for example,

Xiao Shen's gas station plays a greater role than those first-class gas stations!"

Yang Xing patted the shoulder of the team member who first asked the question.

"Captain, I was just saying it casually..."

"Okay, let's set off soon and try to reach Despair Hill before five o'clock!"

"it is good"

Gequan City is the westernmost prefecture-level city in Xisu Province, bordering Xin Province and Qing Province. It has a large area but a small registered population of only more than two million, and most of them are concentrated around the urban area of ​​Gequan City.

at this time,

In a courtyard of a four-story building west of Gequan City, some staff members were directing a crane. A sign of the Gequan Branch of Xiaguo Petroleum Northwest Branch was hung outside the courtyard.

"Old Wang, have you finished loading the oil tank?"

A middle-aged man in work clothes and a hard hat asked as he walked out of the office building.

"Mr. Lu, it's already installed!"

The man commanding the crane hurried over after hearing the sound.

"Where's the steel frame for the new snow shelter and the two fuel dispensers?"

While nodding, the man called Mr. Lu asked again.

“Not yet.”

The man whispered back.

"Not yet? What's the reason? Didn't I tell you this morning that this is something the senior leaders at headquarters have paid special attention to, and all the equipment must be installed in the next few days? Are you paying attention?"

Hearing that the gas pump was not ready yet, the man surnamed Lu glared and immediately scolded.
