I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"You've been very busy this time. There's still half a month left before the Spring Festival. Are you free now?" Chen Xueru asked.

“I don’t know. I’ll go out if something happens. It’s not a big deal for me.” Cao Dongfang said.

“The New Year is coming soon, and the city is still okay for this month, with only two purchases allowed.

You can buy five kilograms of food at a time, which is a little better than before, and there is basically no white flour. "Chen Xueru said.

"White flour is light and not as easy to transport as coarse grains. I know this, but there is not so much white flour available now.

It's OK to make some whole grain vegetarian dumplings for Chinese New Year. Good stuff! My sister and I have never eaten it!

I envy them so much!

"Get lost, you are showing off again. This year we may really eat whole grain vegetarian dumplings with less white flour.

A pound of Fuqiang noodles in Gezi City costs 2.5 yuan, and ordinary noodles cost more than two yuan. Who can afford this?" Chen Xueru said.

You and me!

"Go away and die!" Chen Xueru said.

"How much does a pound of coarse grains cost?" asked Cao Dongfang.

"The price of a pound of oil is between 60 and 65 cents. During the Chinese New Year, the most expensive cooking oils are basically over 3 yuan. Everyone wants to use more oil during the Chinese New Year!

It’s impossible to cook vegetables with water as usual, as there is not enough cooking oil. "Chen Xueru said.

Alas! There is no other way. The grain output is low and people do not have enough to eat. How can the country dare to produce edible oil in large quantities?

What's more, the raw materials for producing edible oil, such as peanuts and soybeans, are also in reduced production. People should just survive first. As for the living conditions, we can think of a solution after the disaster year!

As for the edible oil that I give to the country, it is divided across the country, which is definitely not enough. It is enough for the four-nine cities alone! If we add the big cities in the country, then it will be too much...

So let it be. I can’t satisfy the whole country by myself, and I can’t treat foreigners as fools when I get it abroad!

We went from being short of food to having everything in short supply, and these supplies were lost in large quantities abroad. There are few fools these days!

......

Cao Dongfang only rested at home for one day before he was sent to the military headquarters again, again to transport grain, this time for several border defense troops.

Also because of weather problems, Qidong could not drive to the military base and needed manpower, so he thought of going to Cao Dongfang.

It didn't take long. Two days was enough with Cao Dongfang's speed. Cao Dongfang set out again to transport food.

The border defense troops are just a distance away. With Cao Dongfang here, everything is not a problem.

Cao Dongfang spent another half a day in the grassland province exchanging more than 300 cattle and sheep with the herdsmen, mainly sheep, with nearly 350 in total, and only nine cattle.

The herdsmen still value cattle more, but they don’t care about sheep. These can all be given away as gifts to increase the amount of meat in the capital during the New Year!

To exchange cattle and sheep, Cao Dongfang only used tea bricks, salt and some grain. The average price of a sheep was less than three yuan, and a cow was only fifteen yuan!

It’s so damn cheap!

There are quite a few pigs, cows, and sheep in my own 'Spiritual Cave', numbering several thousand. You can use them now!

Cao Dongfang asked the system to keep 100 of each species and divide them according to the proportion of puppies they can produce, and kill the rest.

Cao Dongfang got on the plane and did not return to Sijiu City, but went directly to Uncle Yue's place on the other side of the river. He had been too busy some time ago and forgot about Uncle Yue!

Go now if you have time!

The New Year is coming soon, and we need a lot of supplies!

******

"Uncle Yue, I'm sorry. I was too busy some time ago, transporting grain for the country. I'm here just now!" Cao Dongfang said.

"It's okay. If you're busy, you don't have to come over. I don't lack anything." Yue Shanhe said.

"I heard that people are about to starve to death!" Yue Shanhe asked in a low voice.

“I don’t know. There won’t be any in big places. I have been transporting grain, including to the smallest county town. But I haven’t been to some very remote villages, and I don’t have time to go there. It’s hard to say!

The country’s per capita food supply is not enough to kill people with hunger!

But the transportation capacity is not enough, especially to places where trains are not available. I have been transporting food to the central, northwest and southwest regions for the past few months!

Transportation is inconvenient. There is a lot of food at major stations, but once you get off the train, there is not enough transportation capacity. There are only a few cars in the country!

If the distance is short, a flatbed truck or a wheelbarrow will do, but if the distance is over 100 kilometers, that's bullshit!" Cao Dongfang said.

"I understand. It doesn't matter as long as the famine in the country is not too serious. The transportation capacity is really insufficient. The country does not intend to let you transport grain to us." Yue Shanhe thought of Cao Dongfang's ability.

“I don’t think so. You have less than 40 people. I can transport nearly 1000 million kilograms of food at a time. If necessary, once a month will be enough!

It’s not as good as those places where there is food shortage!

There is also a special war reserve warehouse here! "

Cao Dongfang said.

"Yes, the country is using you in the place where food is most scarce!" Yue Shanhe said, "You are coming from the port city again!" Yue Shanhe said.

“No, the food couldn’t be transported from the northern border troops, so the country sent me there. The troops were small in number, so they finished the transportation in two days.

I went to the grassland province when I came back and exchanged more than a thousand sheep and five cows with the herdsmen. Does Uncle Yue need them?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"If you have mutton, leave some for me. I eat dried seafood and whole grains every day, and my mouth is dry. Do you have wine? I have given up drinking.

The country is short of food, and there is less wine to brew! "Yue Shanhe said.

“The wine is fine, this year is the most difficult year, I will put down some mutton later, your army is less than 50,000 people, and there are 1,000 sheep.

Five hundred thousand kilograms of flour, let's make dumplings for the New Year. There are only fifty tons of pork, I will keep twenty-five tons, just in case someone attacks the local tyrants...

I left you ten boxes of Fenjiu. Are these enough?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"Enough, enough. They will fight against the local tyrants. We will share the meat during the New Year. Two taels of meat per person. It's enough for everyone!" Yue Shanhe curled his lips!

“After cooking the mutton, they won’t want the leftovers, right? The same goes for pork. Once the braised pork is cooked, there will be leftovers. I’ll keep some in a secret place for the New Year!

It won't be a problem to store it for more than ten days in this weather. It's better to store supplies in the plateau in winter. You can bury the meat in the snow and dig it out when you want to eat it!" Cao Dongfang said.

"That's fine! We don't need so much wine, it's all gone. Leave two boxes and I'll hide them. You don't need anything else. When you have time, please help me go to Shaanxi Province to check on your aunt.

The letter says it’s good! I don’t know the specific situation, but it shouldn’t be too bad. The local government knows about my situation, but they are just worried. "Yue Shanhe said.

"Not arranged nearby?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"Alas! I have old people above me and young children below me. If the old people don't come, your aunt won't dare to come here either.

I am the only one left here, so I have enough money, but I am worried that the six of them may lack food." Yue Shanhe said.

"I'll go there when I have time, maybe after the Chinese New Year. I've got the address. Isn't there any big action on the other side of the river? Bald Brother can't do it!

Uncle Yue, eat some vegetables! "Cao Dongfang said.

“The food you cook is delicious, eat more today and you can have another meal in the evening!

The bald guy on the other side of the river is just mobilizing his troops and conducting exercises occasionally. If he dares to fight, beat him to death! "Yue Shanhe said.

"By the way, do you know about the country's new artillery and tanks?"

"I know. I provided the technology. It has been equipped to the troops in the north. The output is not enough, so I bought a few production lines from abroad last year!" said Cao Dongfang.

"How's the effect!" Yue Shanhe said with shining eyes.

“The best in the world, the cannon has a fast firing rate, long range, high accuracy, the tank moves fast, it combines optical and manual aiming, and the armor protection is also good.

They are all the best designs in the world. The weapons imitated by an arms company in the United States are not consistent with the weapons of the United States. They do not use them and have not yet produced them!

What I brought back will be of great benefit to our country's military and logistics! Cao Dongfang said.

"How much can you get?" Yue Shanhe asked expectantly.

"Not now. This is not just a matter for your army. There are nearly 400,000 troops. The military cannot favor one over the other. There will be no problem with starting a war!"

I can transport the equipment from the Beidong Military Region and the Beijing Military Region in the north in one day!

The country must first equip the north, which will take at least five years, before it can equip 5,000 tanks, 50,000 armored vehicles and 10,000 artillery pieces.

The north is more dangerous than here. The military believes that the chances of you starting a war are no more than 20%, but a war will definitely start in the north within five years!

Just the size! "

Cao Dongfang said!

"It's hard to believe that the situation in the north is so bad. The relationship used to be quite good." Yue Shanhe said regretfully.

“How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?” This is an eternal truth. How could China and the Russian bear country not understand this!

There are only interests between countries, there is no such thing as an eternal and unchanging relationship! "Cao Dongfang said.

"don't know!

If there is a war, fight it! "
