It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

However, the mother and daughter stopped kneading it after a short while, because Frigga accidentally saw the fat civet cat's past through witchcraft. Then she asked her son to maintain the most proper respect for the ancient demon god from another world.

However, the demon god himself didn't seem to care about these things at all. Instead, after being rubbed by a bunch of people until he was unable to resist, he laid down completely. After these people had rubbed him enough, the fat raccoon cat actually went to ask Boss Cheng for compensation.

"How about twice-cooked pork with sesame seed cake?" Boss Cheng said as he worked, "The meat and the cake are freshly cooked. They are fragrant, spicy and crispy when eaten hot. Paired with a bottle of lychee-flavored Zhen Zhen soda, it's delicious!"

In fact, when others were petting the fat raccoon cat, Xiangling had already told Boss Cheng that the fat raccoon cat was called Guoba, and was her friend and playmate since childhood. It was also the only comrade she could rely on when traveling alone.

The reason why Xiangling didn't wear Guoba when she was stealing melons was because Guoba had short legs and ran slowly. If she was caught stealing melons, Guoba's short legs would definitely get her caught!

So Xiangling came to steal melons in the afternoon, and even arranged for someone to pick her up from a distance. She was quite skilled at her job.

Then Guoba held the twice-cooked pork and sesame seed bun in one hand and a can with a straw in the other, and sat cross-legged on the boss's counter, like a lucky cat statue, and started eating alone, ignoring the eyes of others.

The boss clapped his hands and reminded everyone: "It's time to eat! It's almost 6:, everyone hurry up and get busy!"

But to be honest, since Shaoan joined the store, Boss Cheng, Denise, and even Brother Biao could clearly feel that the intensity of work had been greatly reduced compared to before.

Denise and Brother Biao were full of admiration for Shaoan, who had just come to the restaurant and had become the second chef! This chef who had lived in the late Qing Dynasty was not only good at knife skills, but also as good as the bald man named Cheng in cooking big pot dishes.

Shaoan's cooking is mainly based on Jianghu cuisine, salt-raising cuisine, horse-banding cuisine and Shu official cuisine from the Bashu region. In addition, Shaoan also has a taste of ethnic cuisines from the southwest region.

But his comfort zone is limited to this. Although Shaoan knows about dishes outside the southwest, especially northern cuisine, he only knows a little bit.

However, because he had been with the chef Gust for a few months, Shao An had a good understanding of French cuisine. Although he could not cook French cuisine, he had been spoiled by the chef.

At this time, Shaoan shouted: "The tofu trio is out of the pot! Get ready to welcome guests!"

As time got closer to 6:10, construction workers who had finished their daytime work and wanted to improve their meals began to appear in Boss Cheng's restaurant. They got off work on time at pm every day, then took more than ten minutes to tidy up their personal hygiene, and then spent another minutes walking from the construction site dormitory to the boss's restaurant.

Therefore, around 6:7 p.m. every day is the busiest time for the entrance to Hualin City. The residents of Poxiao Town know that the boss's restaurant is busiest between : and :, so they usually avoid this peak dining time.

As for the outlet in Manhattan, New York, the business here has been lukewarm, basically the customer flow of a restaurant located in the most prosperous area of ​​New York but with an affordable route.

You have to admit that people who live near Central Park South are all very rich!

However, once compared with Boss Cheng who owns three mining ships, no matter how rich they are, they are like people with prostatitis.

"Oh fxxk, if I eat spicy food here for a few more days, I feel like I'm going to get prostatitis!"

After finishing the first wave of work, Boss Cheng took a break from his busy schedule and chatted with Nick who was sitting in the waiting area. The boss asked Nick why he was so free these days and why he had time to come to his shop every day.

"It's all because of that bastard Pierce who gave us a big one! I have to travel between New York and Washington every day."

"Hydra has revealed its cards?" asked the boss.

"Correction: It wasn't Hydra that showed its hand. It was the rational faction led by Pierce that showed its hand and admitted defeat."

"and then?"

"Then I realized that everyone in SHIELD had already been considered Hydra's own people."

"Are you sure?" the boss asked again.

“What do I need to be sure of?”

"Are you sure you are SHIELD and not the intelligence department of the Sunset Empire? Just MI5, MI6 or something like that."

Nick was silent for a moment, then he sighed: "To be honest, many people in SHIELD do have KGB backgrounds. And among these guys with KGB backgrounds, 6% are from Hydra. Fortunately, Natasha is not involved with Hydra, otherwise I don't know how to trust my partners."

"Haha, just be content!" The boss laughed and joked, "What if... not only Hydra infiltrates your SHIELD, but also aliens get involved? What will you do then?"

When Nick heard this, his face instantly fell.

"Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about something serious." The boss asked Nick: "Do you really believe in Hydra and Pierce?"

Nick shrugged and said, "Come on, how can I believe it! I really believe in you. I believe that if they dare to make trouble, you will just kill them all."

"And then?" the boss asked again, "What plans does the wise guys from SHIELD have for next?"

"I'm going to transfer the captain back to Washington." Nick shrugged. "As you can see, the captain seems to have suddenly found his hobby. We can't let him continue to go to the competitive world to throw rings and watch games."

Boss Cheng frowned, thinking Nick's words made sense. After all, Rogers would go to the competitive world every two or three days to check the scores of hoops and shots, and then just watch the game without betting. His main point was that he would never spend money if he could get something for free.

Therefore, the boss not only did not object to the Knicks' decision to temporarily bring the captain back to Washington, but even fully supported it.

"Besides the captain, what else do you have planned?"

"There is also intelligence that a radical group is planning to use Project Insight to cause trouble. However, Pierce claimed that he is no longer aware of the radical group's plans. If what he said is true, I am afraid that the radical group will make some major moves before implementing Project Insight."

"There has to be something else, right?"

"Indeed, there is other intelligence. This is also the most important reason why I am anxious to recruit Captain America back to Washington. According to the information provided by Pierce, there is a super soldier codenamed 'Winter Soldier' ​​who has been taken over by radicals. And this 'Winter Soldier' ​​is likely to be an old acquaintance of Captain America."

"An old acquaintance?" Boss Cheng carefully recalled the words of the future captain, "Is it Buggy?"

"Mother fxxker! How do you know? He even told you this?" Then, Nick waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. According to Pierce's intelligence, Bucky is the result of the Russians' research on super soldiers in the late World War II. But what worries me most is not Bucky and Captain America, but that guy Stark."

"No! Wait a minute!" The boss asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly drag Tony into this?"

"Because when that bastard Pierce told me about some of the Winter Soldier's operational records, he also told me that Hydra had sent the Winter Soldier to assassinate Tony Stark's parents on Christmas Eve in 1991! There were less than 10 days left before the disintegration! They actually sent the Winter Soldier to Long Island to kill Howard and his wife! These bastards actually planted a huge bomb for us today more than 20 years ago!"

0302 Senior member of a certain bar

Rogers left after he learned that his good friend Bucky was still alive.

However, the real reason why Rogers had to leave was that Nick told him that "Winter Soldier was the murderer who killed Tony's parents."

However, just a few days after the captain left, Nick "returned" another double agent of SHIELD and HYDRA. According to Nick and Pierce, keeping this agent named "Brock Rumlow" in the store will make it easier for the boss to understand the progress of the cooperation between SHIELD and HYDRA.

"What cooperation?" asked the boss.

Bullock replied: "The radical guys will probably hand over the rational undercover list to SHIELD and the FBI in a while."

"But didn't Pierce give the list to Nick as part of his pledge of allegiance..." At this point, the boss suddenly had an idea and realized, "I understand. Even among the rational faction within Hydra, only a few people know the truth about Pierce's betrayal. And Nick doesn't intend to alarm the enemy at this stage. Instead, he is prepared to wait and see what the radicals can do!"

"In fact, it was only after I was assigned to your place that Chief Pierce told me the truth. To the outside world, the chief has been claiming that the rational faction will soon withdraw from Ame and move to South America, Southern Europe, or North Africa."

"Why bother?"

"If you don't use some tricks to deceive people who are only interested in making a big news, how can you fool them?"

After hearing Brock's answer, the boss smiled and said, "I used to work at S.H.I.E.L.D., and every time I saw you, you were always working diligently. I never thought that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would be an enemy spy lurking in the revolutionary team!"

"Come on!" Brock shrugged and joked, "We at Hydra are the revolutionary workers, okay!"

From a certain perspective, there is nothing wrong with what Brock said.

Bullock also said that during his time at SHIELD, he never slacked off except for the organization's missions. Even though he knew he was an undercover agent, he would still meticulously and resolutely carry out and complete the tasks assigned by SHIELD.

"My goodness, you really love what you do!"

However, according to Bullock, it will take several months for the Insight Project to enter the completion stage. In order to carry out the Insight Project to the end, the radicals will basically choose to make trouble on the eve of the completion of the plan. Because only in this way can they really attract the attention of SHIELD and the FBI and create conditions for them to operate the Insight Project.

"So, before they take action, you will just stay here with me?"

"Of course, the chief said that this period of time will be regarded as the paid vacation I have saved up for the past seven or eight years, so I can take it all."

"Seven or eight years of vacation?" Boss Cheng couldn't help but exclaimed, "What? You are also building a Hydra-style organization? Is your Hydra internal work schedule 8 or 25? It can't be an 825 work schedule of days a week and hours a day, right? How many hours a week are counted in employment statistics?"

Suddenly, a cough with a serious warning sound came from behind the boss.

"This kind of indirect criticism..."

Boss Cheng turned around and told Zhou: "Is there anyone who would accept being scolded for something like this?"

"Sometimes stating the facts is more unpleasant than cursing. But you should understand that the sun is about to explode. In order to coordinate the overall situation, it is not easy to maintain a relatively decent data. Besides, once the planetary engine is built, there will be no more unemployment problems in the future."

"You have to make it clear. Will everyone be unemployed, or will no one be unemployed? To build more than 40 planetary engines in years, are you sure that humans can control the machines to complete such a large workload? But if we rely entirely on artificial intelligence to control the machines, aren't you afraid that the unemployment rate will skyrocket? If we let humans and artificial intelligence cooperate, aren't you afraid that their cooperation process will be incomprehensible?"

Zhou Zhe held his breath for a long time before he could only reply, "I'm afraid. I'm all afraid!"

"In addition, the latest discussion plan of UEG senior management has changed from "Can we build 18,000 planetary engines?" to "Is building 18,000 engines enough?"

"What? Did you dig too much?"

"Yes." Zhou Zhezhi nodded. "The current domestic underground city plan has changed from the original high-strength metal load-bearing structure plus concrete to an all-metal compression-resistant and earthquake-proof structure."

"Is this really the full-scale spendthrift mode?"

"There is not only a prodigal model, but also a population migration model and a social industrialization model. The immigration plan for 15 billion people is not enforced, but entirely voluntary. However, the future underground cities and cities around planetary engines will only be dominated by industrial populations and their families.

每台行星发动机需要约3万人的维护才能保证其正常且持续的运转。按照维护人员与家属1:2的比率计算，每座发动机都市都将拥有9万人左右的容纳规模。18000台行星发动机，就会有18000座城市。18000座城市，就可以容纳16亿人以上。

再加上遍布世界各地，拥有重工业和精密制造业的地下城系统，其中也可容纳20亿人左右。就是说未来地球的人口容纳上限，将维持在35亿到37亿之间。终末……β-027世界容纳15亿到18亿人。”

"37+18! Only 55 billion people?"

V Ⅱ VI VI V Ⅱ Ⅱ V Ⅰ

Zhou Zhezhi nodded again and said, "This is the conclusion reached by scholars from us, Da Mao and Amei. Even if the population is higher than this number, it will fall back to this number within ten years after the Earth sets sail."

"There's a 'but', right?"

"That's right! But what we need to worry about at this stage is not what to do with the remaining one billion people, but whether there will still be 10 billion people left on Earth by the time we set sail!"

The boss certainly understood what Zhou meant, and he also understood that he couldn't apply the thinking of a big or powerful country to a small country. After all, these countries were not even considered "participants" in the international political environment in the past, and sometimes it's not that you don't want to play with them, but that they don't intend to play with you.

You can even use the term "freaks" to describe the strange behaviors of many of these small and bizarre countries' leaders, which cannot be described in conventional language. And the lower a person's scientific literacy is, the easier it is for him to do things that are incomprehensible in such critical moments.

Although UEG has not yet released specific information about the solar crisis, UEG will be officially established in a month. Once the truth about the rapid global warming and various response strategies are announced, we will be able to witness a large-scale chaos.

Otherwise, why would the original three permanent members, plus the current European Federation, and a subcontinental power, stick together for the first time in history? Diplomatic disputes, territorial disputes, national hatreds, family feuds, screw them all. What these powers care about most is to continue civilization, not the flame of civilization.

Therefore, any country or organization that dares to challenge the bottom line of UEG will not mind personally sending them on their way. The medicine will be delivered on the same day, and the effect will be seen on the same day, guaranteeing that the life will be saved.

Moreover, the signatory countries of UEG are aware that the food supply of β-027 world cannot be achieved overnight. The increase of food production will be a continuous and long process. However, as the earth's environment continues to deteriorate, the earth's food gap will become larger and larger, and it is basically impossible for β-027 world to make up for the earth's food gap within 30 years.

Although Boss Cheng has begun to seek help from other cornerstone worlds, this kind of help is doomed to be unstable. After all, there are constant man-made disasters over there, and if you want to ensure food security, you must ensure the long-term stability of production and life.

If society is unstable and there is chaos every day, food security is almost impossible to talk about.

What?You do not believe?

There are ready-made examples in 2023!

As Zhou Zhezhi and Boss Cheng got deeper into their conversation, Brock, who was listening to their conversation, went from being initially surprised to being shocked, and then from being shocked to being confused, until finally, due to the overwhelming amount of information, his CPU went into a state of shutdown with smoke coming out.

However, from the amount of information that was so complex that it would burst his head, he was still able to filter out the most crucial information - the sun was going to explode, and they were preparing to push the earth out of the solar system!

"Holy shit!" Brock, whose worldview and outlook on life were both shocked, asked the two people: "Are you kidding me? Pushing the earth out of the solar system?"

"Strictly speaking, it is the Kuiper Belt that is pushing the Earth toward the outer solar system." Zhou Zhezhi corrected himself.

"But why do you dare to tell these secrets in front of a human from another world without any care? Are you planning to silence me?"

"Why can't you tell me?" Boss Cheng said, "This is not a shameful secret. The news will be announced to all of humanity in a month. As a visitor from another world, you only knew about it less than a month earlier than others."

"But..." Brock widened his eyes and exclaimed, "But this is indeed too unbelievable!"

At this time, Frigga, who had just finished her day as the principal, also told Brock: "Indeed, even as Asgardians, we couldn't help but admire their boldness and shocking execution after learning of their plan."

However, when Brock heard what Frigga said, his focus shifted from "pushing the earth" to Boss Cheng's aunt.

"Hello, ma'am. My name is Brock Rumlow, and I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D. It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful... uh!"

Just as Brock was about to kiss the back of Frigga's hand like a gentleman, Boss Cheng raised his foot and kicked Brock out.

"Hey! Xiaoza! I don't care if you were a senior member of that bar before. But remember, her husband's name is Odin, her eldest son is Thor, and her youngest son is Loki. Believe it or not, if you dare to attack her, Odin will dare to attack the earth!"

0303 They are just no longer young

The boss’s vision was right!

Brock Rumlow, who was supposed to be the famous villain "Crossbones" in another universe, is really obsessed with women over 45 years old.

At this time, Crossbones was only 35 years old.

You ask the boss why he is sure that Brock is a mature (civilized) female control?

Because Brock had just received his weekly salary, he went to some places in Birch Forest City where pink lights were flashing. He easily found an older sister who was willing to communicate with him in depth, and went to a rental house together to study the mystery of the continuation of the human species.

Then they were caught by the "Autumn Anti-pornography Working Group". (It is customary to conduct anti-pornography campaigns before National Day)

Originally, Hualin City was a declining resource-based city. Its relatively simple (that is, poor) living conditions could not support its residents' large-scale involvement in activities such as pornography, gambling, and drugs.

However, as many large-scale projects entered Hualin City, a large number of construction workers also entered Hualin, which provided fertile soil for the survival of practitioners in special industries.

The "Autumn Anti-pornography Working Group" was set up at a critical moment when the spiritual civilization of the people in Hualin City was gradually collapsing. Their first action can be described as "shocking". The old policeman who had been fighting pornography in Hualin City for more than ten years caught a man dressed as a woman for the first time in his life.

This is not to say that the police in Hualin City cannot keep up with the times, but that the entire Hualin City has been in a serious state of lagging behind in the past 10 years.

Besides, if you can avoid such a scene, then it’s better not to see it.

Another major achievement of this anti-pornography operation was the arrest of a foreign "friend" who had no passport or visa. However, when the police officers from the Mining Bureau Police Station who participated in the operation saw the translator on Block's ear and the address he confessed, the comrades from the National Security Bureau came to the Mining Bureau Police Station and took Block to the branch.
