survival in the wilderness

Chapter 417 Seafood
The alliance fulfilled its promise, and the people who migrated breathed a sigh of relief. What they saw and heard along the way was beyond imagination, as if in a dream, and what they fear most is when they wake up.

They didn't feel completely at ease until they lived in their own home.

There were more than 800 people in the first batch, and Bai Chen had already made arrangements to ensure that they would be settled properly.

There are many houses in Nanhai Port City, and the streets are wide, which can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people.

Those who arrive first will be able to go to work and earn money the next day, and they will be more at ease when they have a bright future.

Lin Yan followed Bai Chen to the Haiyan factory, which has been put into production with more than 300 people working.

Bai Chen said: "The sea salt production technology has matured. Once the relocated people arrive, we can open two or three more sea salt factories to solve the work problems of the relocated people. The rubber factories are also going into operation one after another, and a large number of workers are needed."

"You can arrange it. We have a boat, and the seafood here is rich, so why not go salvage some. Besides what you said, I think the seafood industry chain is also a feature of Nanhai Port City, so we need to arrange it as soon as possible."

Bai Chen nodded, "I've read about the planning of Nanhai Port City, and it's all in progress. Now there is a serious shortage of people, and once people are in place, it will be able to operate."

"This time we plan to move more than 5000 people, and all of them will be in place within half a year at most."

"This is the best. If Nanhai Port City wants to operate, these people are barely enough."

Lin Yan said, "I wrote to you in advance about the situation of the relocated people. Half of them are children. They must be properly settled."

"Well, I've already made a plan. These children also need to be self-sufficient, and the alliance can't keep them up all the time. The factories also have jobs they can do, half the day for class and half the day for work."

Lin Yan said with a smile: "I believe you can arrange it. They are orphans and weak, and they have been bullied in Pingcheng. You should pay more attention at ordinary times, and don't let the children grow crooked."

Bai Chen nodded in response, "It will be dark soon, let's go back first."

That night, Lin Yan had a table of delicious seafood.

"It's delicious, who made it?"

"They are locals who moved from the surrounding area. They are a small village with hundreds of people. They have lived along the coast for generations and know a lot about seafood. Today it is Tuma who cooks, and she has the best craftsmanship."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "I want to meet them." She hadn't met the local aborigines yet, so this was an opportunity to get to know them better.

Bai Chen nodded, these are trivial matters, it's no problem for Lin Yan to see them.

After a night's rest, Lin Yan went out alone and found Tuma's house.

The people living on this street are all Tuma's clan. They moved here together and settled in the same area to take care of each other.

The house was built facing the street, with blue bricks and tiles. Lin Yan glanced at the house number and saw that the door was open. She called out, "Is anyone there?"

Soon someone in the house responded, and the sound of footsteps approached from far away.

The person who came was an old woman with gray hair and a face full of years of wind and frost. She stared at Lin Yan for a long time and was sure she didn't recognize her. She asked in the unproficient language of the alliance: "Who is the girl looking for?"

Lin Yan smiled, "Grandma, is this Tuma's house?"

The old woman nodded, "Are you looking for Tuma? She's not here, go to work."

"I know, there are distinguished guests in the city, and Tuma has gone to entertain the guests. Mother-in-law, can I go in?"

The old woman looked at Lin Yan vigilantly, but when she saw her clothes, she hesitated, "I'm the only one at home, what are you doing here?"

"I came from Sun City, and I went to my house to find out some information. Mother-in-law, don't worry, I don't mean any harm, I just want to know about your daily life."

"Sun City?" The old woman reacted a little slower, her eyes suddenly widened, "You are from Sun City, have you met the chairman of the alliance? I heard that the chairman is a very capable person, she is the one who established the Sun Alliance, let us They all had a good time.”

Lin Yan nodded without hesitation, "I see, what mother-in-law wants to know, I will tell you."

The old woman put down her guard, let Lin Yan into the house, surrounded her and asked about Sun City.

As Lin Yan spoke, he looked at everything in the room calmly.

The house was built uniformly, and it looks good from the outside, but when you enter, it's a different scene.

The furnishings are simple, except for tables, chairs and beds, there is no other furniture, and there is no warmth or luxury in Sun City.

But from the old woman's words, Lin Yan could feel that she was very satisfied with her current living conditions. With a tile to cover her body, she could withstand the cold wind, which was much better than before.

The old woman is Tuma's aunt, and there are two children in the family who go to school.The family relies on Tuma's cooking skills to make ends meet, and they also store some seafood for sale on a daily basis.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, someone came into the house, it was the neighbor next door who came to visit, a woman who was a little younger than the old woman, Tuya.

Seeing Lin Yan, Tu Ya smiled and said, "I saw someone entering Tuma's house just now, and I came here as soon as I could. The girl is looking for Tuma?"

Before Lin Yan could reply, the old woman murmured.

Lin Yan didn't understand a word, it should be their dialect.

Then, she saw Tuya smiling even brighter, "Lin Yan, what does Sun City look like, is it better than here?"

Her alliance language was much higher than that of the old woman. Lin Yan smiled and started talking, and the three of them talked enthusiastically.

Almost all the questions were asked by the old woman and Tu Ya, and Lin Yan answered, she was as objective and pertinent as possible without exaggeration.

It can be seen that they are yearning for Sun City. After all, it is the center of the alliance. As a member of the alliance, they always want to know more.

After talking all morning, Lin Yan hurriedly got away before the meal time.

The life of Tuma's family is difficult, and it is not easy to stay for a meal. The life of Tuya's family is better, and they warmly invite Lin Yan to her house, but Lin Yan refuses to agree to anything.

She has already found out that they usually only eat one meal in the morning and evening, and lunch is just enough, or they don't eat at all.We can't let others make an exception for her.

Nanhai Port City seems to be prosperous, but these people live in poverty. Lin Yan also understands that it takes time to develop.

When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't see Bai Chen. After eating, Lin Yan went to the laboratory to find Bai Chen.

As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a special smell, which was the smell of rubber, which filled every place.

When she saw Bai Chen, she was standing in front of a large cauldron, staring at the sticky liquid inside, with a concentrated expression, taking notes from time to time.

Lin Yan took a closer look. There was rubber liquid in the cauldron, something was added, it was sticky and smelly.

"What did you add to the pot to make it look like this?"

Only then did Bai Chen see Lin Yan, and said, "When did you come? I'm experimenting, adding sulfur and other chemical substances into the natural rubber liquid to change its original properties."

"Well, I can see it. It's just that the smell is so strong that you can smell it as soon as you enter the gate?"

"It's normal, the chemistry comes with all the smells, we're all used to it."

Seeing Bai Chen's disapproval, Lin Yan sighed: "You have to be careful, it's important to do experiments, but people's health is also important, we can't ignore it."

Bai Chen: "I understand, these smells are just a bit unpleasant and will not harm the body. People from the Institute of Materials have done safety tests on this, and there is no problem."

Lin Yan gave a thumbs up, "You have worked hard, and you are all heroes of the alliance."
