Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"Comrade Su Wanqing, the temperature inside the cold storage is low. I'll open the insulated door to ventilate it first. We'll go in for a quick look and then come out quickly so we don't get cold..." Director Guo rubbed his hands together, about to take out his keys to open the inner door of the cold storage.

Su Wanqing waved her hand and said with a smile, "No need, let's go check out the next storage area."

She had already rummaged through the pork in the cold storage room, so there was no need for her to go back in and get chilled.

Director Guo: "Huh? Oh, oh..."

He awkwardly put the key back in his pocket, wondering to himself—this comrade from above was getting stranger and stranger.

They came all this way, visited two districts yesterday and then said they had to leave, but today they arrived at the entrance of the cold storage and didn't go in. What exactly are they here to inspect?

He didn't dare ask any more questions and immediately led Su Wanqing to the next storage area.

This time it was the vegetable storage area, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of soil and cabbage stalks.

Director Guo pointed to the neatly stacked piles of cabbages in front of him.

"Comrade Su, this is our vegetable storage area, mainly stockpiling Chinese cabbage, a full three thousand tons. We may not have much else here, but we certainly have enough Chinese cabbage—it's the staple food for people in the north during winter. They use it to stew with vermicelli, make dumplings, and pickle sauerkraut to get through the winter."

Besides Chinese cabbage, there are also small amounts of radishes and potatoes, each weighing several hundred tons. These were all collected from several surrounding counties; their quality is average, but they are all genuine winter storage vegetables.

Su Wanqing looked at the mountains of cabbages in front of her and her lips twitched slightly.

There are definitely a lot of these cabbages.

But then I thought about it again. In those days, resources were scarce, and there really weren't many other vegetables to store—people relied on the "three staples" to get through the winter: cabbage, radish, and potatoes.

Although she felt a little disgusted, she figured she was already there, right?

Furthermore, a tenfold return on 3,000 tons of cabbage amounts to 30,000 tons. With a free upgrade, whether it becomes crisp and refreshing sauerkraut or convenient dehydrated vegetables, it represents a considerable reserve.

Anyway, it won't expire if it's just sitting in the storage space, and you can never have too much of a full warehouse.

Furthermore, her space has a magical grid of craftsmanship. Although cabbage itself is nothing special, you can throw cabbage in with other things to make up the numbers, upgrade it, and then you can open blind boxes—sometimes it turns into cooked food, sometimes into drinks, and sometimes it can be juiced and made into ice cream.

If you're lucky, you might even win some top-tier delicacies.

But then again, cabbage-themed drinks and cabbage-themed ice cream... that can't be true, right?

While Director Guo turned around to lead the way, Su Wanqing quickly collected all three thousand tons of cabbage, returning ten times the amount. Twenty-seven thousand tons were left in the space, while the original three thousand tons were returned to the vegetable cellar intact.

After Director Guo led her around every storage point in the entire reservoir area and politely saw her off to the car, he stood at the gate, let out a long sigh, and shook his head.

A middle-aged man, also wearing a Zhongshan suit, came over.

"Hey Director Guo, who's that guy? You, the head of the whole operation, have been keeping him company for days? He's got some serious influence. What's with all this wandering around our secret granary? This place is our last line of defense, 'no movement without war, no use without famine.' Could he be some kind of spy?"

Director Guo wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly waved his hand:

"Don't talk nonsense. This comrade is being received with the highest level of protocol, directly under orders from the organization."

I heard she's a great contributor to the country, having given the higher-ups a lot of good stuff. Her exact level is classified, but look at her, so young, yet she's always surrounded by several special forces bodyguards. That's a level of protection most people don't have.

The man curled his lip, snorted through his nose, and looked completely unconvinced.

"Come on, what great hero? In my opinion, she's probably just some kid who was sent in to get some experience, acting like she's above everyone else, wandering around this godforsaken place, doing nothing but causing trouble. If she's really that capable, why doesn't she go to the front lines?"

Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly went off outside.

Immediately afterward, a messenger stumbled in, his hat askew.

"Report! A major landslide has occurred in the Longguan mining area of ​​Yanshan—a closed ore vein was blasted through during deep mining, triggering a large-scale landslide and collapse, burying all access routes to the surrounding county towns!"

The railway bridge collapsed, the high-voltage power lines collapsed, and all communications were cut off!

More than 1.2 million people have been affected by the disaster. Their houses have been destroyed and their food supplies buried! The temperature there is now below -10 degrees Celsius, and they are out of food, coal, and electricity. The situation is extremely critical!

The order from above is: immediately assess all available grain resources, and urgently requisition all grain stored in our granaries!

Director Guo's face turned deathly pale, and he exclaimed, "W-what? Requisition our supplies? Even if we emptied our reserves, it still wouldn't be enough! This is the last line of defense for the capital's food security; it absolutely cannot be touched unless it's an absolute emergency—"

The man next to him also got anxious, grabbed the communications officer's sleeve, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Exactly! What's going on? You've got it wrong, haven't you? Even if the higher-ups want to requisition grain for disaster relief, they should start with local reserves and the grain allocated to various provinces. Why are they even eyeing our last life-saving grain supplies? What kind of notice is this?!"

The correspondent looked dejected, his voice trembling:

"Because all other places have been mobilized! There was a flood in Hebei a few days ago, and the organization had already sent several batches of pontoon bridge troops to the rescue, but there was a sudden downpour these past two days, and the main dike—the main dike breached!"

More than a dozen counties are currently trapped there, with over 1.3 million people submerged in water and waiting for food!

The authorities have already urgently requisitioned all the grain stored in four or five large granaries in the south, north, and surrounding areas and sent it to Hebei. But now, such a major incident has occurred in the Yanshan Mountains—both sides need grain at the same time, and in large quantities. The existing mobile reserves are simply not enough to fill two gaps!

Director Guo swayed, his lips trembling several times before he managed to steady himself. He then abruptly turned around and roared at the staff behind him:

"What are you all standing around for! Open the granaries immediately, take stock of all usable grain, pack it up and load it onto trucks overnight, everyone participate—tomorrow, transport as much grain as you can!"

The entire capital city sprang into action.

Emergency meeting room of a ministry in the capital.

"Rescue efforts in the Yanshan area must be prioritized! What was unearthed there? It's a natural vein rich in space-grade ultra-high purity titanium!"

This material is unique in the world and is the lifeblood of the aerospace and nuclear industries. Its strategic significance is even greater than that of gold!

Besides, those miners were all veterans and military dependents who had spent their lives mining coal for the country. Now the mine has exploded, the mountains have collapsed, and 1.2 million people are without food and electricity, freezing in temperatures below minus ten degrees Celsius. We cannot, from a moral and legal standpoint, let them feel disheartened!
