Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 92 A Pound of Meat

The vineyard purchased by Roque, the previous owner fled to the Transvaal Republic to join the Boer coalition forces, his family was imprisoned in a refugee camp, and the vineyard was confiscated. Roque only spent less than 100 pounds to convert this area into 150 acres of vineyards to buy.

Rock is not worried about the return of the former owner of the vineyard. The British are ruthless. As long as they capture the Cape Boers who fled to the Republic of Transvaal and the Orange Free State to join the Boer coalition forces, they will be shot. Therefore, the former owner of the vineyard It is impossible to return to Oak Town. As for his family members, they have all died in the refugee camp. The 20.00% death rate is not a joke.

Because there is no one to take care of it, the grapes in the vineyard have not had time to be picked, so Roque needs a lot of workers, serious and responsible workers who work hard. There are many such people in the refugee camp, and Roque can have as many as he wants.

"Workers only choose mothers who have children. When mothers work, they keep their children in the refugee camps. In this way, there is no need to worry that the workers will not work hard. They don't even need guards. The family members of the guerrillas don't give meat. , then take meat as salary, children are in need of nutrition, I believe many people will be very willing to work for you." Ada's advice to Rock is really the most poisonous woman.

"You are amazing, suddenly I am a little afraid of you." Luo Ke said insincerely, it is impossible to be afraid, and it is really amazing to be awesome.

Sure enough, women are the ones who know women best. Rock probably can't think of such a way. For mothers, children are indeed the best reason. For the one pound of meat a week, those mothers in the refugee camps will probably snatch it. broken head.

"If you're embarrassed to come forward, I'll do it for you." Ada didn't take it seriously. A woman and a widow had no means to survive in Cape Town.

"Okay——" Rock didn't realize what he agreed to.

-

In the refugee camp, rows of low tents are being dismantled, and all the women and children are driven out. They hold simple luggage and gather together in the open space of the refugee camp. Looking at those Zulu people with quick hands and feet, many people had tears in their eyes. Some children cried out, but their mothers covered their mouths. They didn't know what was waiting for them.

"You are lucky. Mrs. Capet of Cape Town sent you a new tent, as well as some clothes and bedding. You have the opportunity to live in the new tent, otherwise I am afraid you will not be able to survive this winter—" Jeffrey The voice was very loud, and many people couldn't help but cast their eyes on a two-story wooden building next to the concentration camp.

This two-story wooden building is the tallest building in the concentration camp, just like the guard tower outside the barbed wire fence around the concentration camp. On the balcony on the second floor, he was dressed in a black uniform with a grim expression.

Standing next to the inspector was a woman in a long white dress. The woman was wearing a veil, so she couldn't see what she looked like, but she could tell that she was tall and elegant. This was probably the "Mrs. Capet" that Jeffrey called.

Although the new tent is worthy of joy, the Boers in the concentration camp did not express anything. The hatred between them and the British cannot be resolved by this small benefit. The reason why they were imprisoned in the concentration camp was that the British It was the instigator. Although they had never heard of the name "Mrs. Capet" before, they knew from the clothes that "Mrs. Capet" must be British.

"Mrs. Capet still needs a few people to work for her. Go outside to pick grapes in the vineyard. If it is better to make wine, the reward is one pound of meat per week. If anyone is willing to work for Mrs. Capet, then you can sign up with me. "Jeffrey was expressionless. In the past, refugees were also forced to work, but without any pay. This opportunity is rare.

Twenty tents are not enough to accommodate everyone, but the opportunity for a pound of meat can be won, so people are quickly attracted.

"Police officer, can I participate? I will work hard, and I can also make wine. My family used to have a vineyard." Finally, a mother with two children snuggled next to her couldn't bear it anymore. Both children were emaciated and obviously malnourished.

"Okay—" Jeffery was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd as soon as he spoke.

"Please let me work for Mrs. Capet. I will work hard too. I can also make wine. My family used to have a vineyard."

"I can do it too, let me do anything."

"Put my name on it. My name is Julia. I used to be a doctor. Although I can't make wine, I can learn-"

It really is - the crowd is excited.

Both Roque and Ada underestimated the temptation of a pound of meat. Although the refugee camp stipulates that as long as the family members do not join the guerrillas, they can get a pound of meat every week, but it is obvious that this regulation has not been seriously implemented. As for those meat Where did they all go——

Estimated to be found in the Cape Town market.

"Quiet, quiet, as long as there are mothers with children, this job is prepared by Mrs. Capet for the children. Come one by one—" Jeffrey tried to maintain order, and the surrounding police quickly came to help, and some people were already pushed down by the crowd up.

Boom, boom!

Rock fired a warning shot, only then did Rock realize that he seemed to have underestimated the energy of these Boer women.

Yes, if you think about it, you can understand. Before the British came to Cape, the Boers controlled everything in Cape, so there are not too many talents in all aspects. For example, Julia just now, she is rare in this era Doctors, but if they are locked up in a refugee camp, they will have to do the same job as other refugees, and maybe they will be forced to sell themselves for a piece of candy or a piece of chocolate. People of social status are poor, so their life is more difficult than other civilians.

"Everyone, I mean, let each of them line up and register with Officer Jeffrey in an orderly manner, and write down what you know, what education you have received, and why you are locked up in a refugee camp." Luo Ke told Anton that there were many talents in the refugee camp, and the British in the past didn't have the patience to screen them one by one, but now Rock has plenty of time.

"Yes, inspector." Anton hurried away with a baton in his hand. He still had a pistol on his body, but it was obviously useless to deal with these refugees.

Rock suddenly shuddered a little. During the Japanese colonial period, many Koreans were hired as policemen, so the Koreans were later derogated as "Korean sticks".

Now that the British colonized Cape and hired Chinese as policemen, will the Chinese become the "Chinese stick" of Cape in the future?

No no no, this kind of thing must not happen.
