Chapter 491 The Taste of Hunger

Cai Qingcheng chewed the food in his mouth. He cherished every grain of rice in the rice bowl, and he was reluctant to waste a shred of meat on the bone. Everyone here may have experienced the taste of hunger during training. But he can guarantee that there will not be more than ten people here who have felt the hunger he once felt.

Before he retired, he received a mission one year to go to a certain country in Africa for peacekeeping. When he went, his superiors had already arranged for him to provide them with all the supplies, including water. And food and some daily necessities.

However, most of the team are veterans, and they will prepare some things before they go. Instant noodles and sausages are all necessary items. In addition, no one knows how long this mission will take. Bringing what you can bring, it can be said that everyone is ready for a long-term battle.

When we first landed, the situation over there was relatively stable at the beginning, supplies could be delivered in time, and everyone was relatively restrained, so no one cared too much about what they brought over.

As the situation became increasingly tense, Cai Qingcheng's supply in their place was short. At the beginning, the local government could not deliver the supplies. They could only use the original food to meet their daily needs. Everyone's food The rations are very limited, and these five big and three thick guys simply can't get enough to eat.

This kind of life lasted for only three months, and their food was exhausted, and the instant noodle sausage they brought and prepared had already been eaten, and the hungry eyes of all the tall and thick men turned green.

"Little bitch, where are the seeds you brought?"

Cai Qingcheng, who had no food, thought of Fang Jian, a brat who had checked information on the Internet before he came. He said that the land here is poor and supplies are scarce. Before he left, he brought a lot of food seeds, which can be cultivated here , now that the base has run out of food, those seeds should have grown.

"Lao Cai, those seeds can't be planted."

Fang Jian was also very entangled. After checking the information and making sufficient preparations, he thought about bringing some vegetable seeds over here so that he could plant the land here, and then he could eat some green vegetables to improve his food, but this kid really didn't think of this. Not only is the land poor, but the water resources are also poor.

After planting the vegetable seeds in the ground, green shoots appeared the next day. He was still secretly proud of it. Fortunately, the seeds of small rapeseed were planted first. This thing grows very fast, and I don’t think it will be necessary. How soon will everyone be able to eat this green food.

But what he failed to figure out is that apart from being barren, the natural environment here in Africa is really not suitable for planting the things he brought. During the dry season, there is very little rain, the air is very dry, the temperature is high, and he is thin. The green rapeseed seedlings will die in less than a day, and you can't count on the subsequent growth at all.

Other things are even more helpless. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are easy to grow, but the cycle of these things is too long. After they grow, these people will probably starve to death.

Knowing the reason, Cai Qing was stunned. He really never thought that there was such a big difference between domestic and foreign countries. Now that they have run out of food here, the big guys are so hungry that their eyes are staring at gold stars.

Thinking of those ungrown sweet potatoes, Cai Qingcheng asked Xiaojian to take him to have a look. If it was impossible, he could only eat these seeds first. This is something that people in times of famine would do. It is not a last resort. If they would eat their own good seeds, they would be desperate.

When he saw the sweet potatoes that had been planted, this guy smiled very happily. Green seedlings had grown on each of the sweet potatoes, and the growth was very gratifying. I heard Xiaojian said that the green seedlings could grow in a few days .

He hurriedly picked off the sweet potato leaves, and then reported to their boss. Finally, he put the sweet potato leaves in water and boiled them as food for the team.

At first, Fang Jian was a little unhappy. Although this guy came from the countryside, his family’s conditions were not bad. After he came to the team, the food was much better. Looking at the sweet potato leaves in the bowl, he felt a sense of dread. A little reluctant, what he said to Cai Qingcheng at that time, Cai Qingcheng still remembers it very clearly.

The boy picked up a sweet potato leaf with chopsticks, and said with a disgusted face: "Lao Cai, these sweet potato leaves are in my hometown, and they are all for pigs. Can this person eat them?"

At that time, Cai Qingcheng didn't even bother to talk to this kid, but in the end, there was no other way, this kid could only put these "pig food" in his mouth, and he ended up eating more happily than pigs.

Sweet potato leaves can't be eaten for a lifetime. In order to find more food, everyone in the team showed their talents, especially the boys who came out of the mountain.

Some people made their own slingshots and then used them to catch birds. Although the land in Africa is barren, there are still a lot of wild animals, and they can often bring back some birds. Later, someone had a whim and even imitated the plot in the TV. They pretended to be dead on the ground, and then shot vultures, but vultures are really powerful. After they were almost injured a few times, they gave up this kind of thing. The meat was not much and the risk was high, and they caught other birds instead.

There are also some more excellent ones who can make traps, find a cave and arrange it at the entrance of the cave. They can catch things like rabbits and voles every now and then. Sometimes they don’t even recognize the things they catch, but they obviously look like they can be eaten. of.

So these things have become their rations, and they rely on these things to support them every day. If there are no trees in the place where they stay, it is estimated that the bark can be eaten up by others. The hard days are the most difficult. After waiting for four or five months, the rescue supplies were finally delivered, but they were still not very long and sufficient. They still lived a life of rationing, and they just continued to suffer in Africa.

Cai Qingcheng could feel it when the mission was over and returned to China. The brothers who went out to perform the mission this time lost a lot of weight, especially their boss, who lost [-] catties. What is that? concept.

A man with muscles all over his body didn't have much fat to burn, and his thin cheekbones were protruding.

Cai Qingcheng will never forget that after returning to China just in time for the Chinese New Year, the canteen in the team is full of big meals, and the table is full of chicken, duck and fish.
