Chapter 2940
Many people were lining up enthusiastically at the shelter.
Especially when those people in line saw that the people in front received the food promised in the announcement, everyone seemed particularly excited!
An ordinary family of five people are all waiting in line.
Last night, the shelter suddenly issued an announcement that a special food subsidy would be provided to each shelter resident.
It consisted of a pound of beef, two pounds of whole-wheat bread, half a stick of about one-half pound of butter, a fresh apple, some cabbage, and some mushrooms.
In fact, the cultivation of mushrooms is not only studied by people in Lynch, but also by people all over the world.
Under the irradiation of high-definition particles, the growth rate of some fungi can no longer be described as amazing, it is simply scary!
As long as there is enough organic matter, they can quickly decompose the organic matter into the nutrients they need for growth, and then grow up quickly, and this conversion ratio is very high!
You don’t need to invest too much to get a lot of rewards, which is definitely a good thing in an apocalyptic environment.
Ordinary shelters may not be as good as Lynch in large-scale research projects, but they can still follow up on such research and development projects within their capabilities.
The cultivation of edible fungi has also become the current main project of most shelters. It can not only reduce the consumption of ordinary food, but also solve the problem of recycling and decomposing many garbage.
In short, the shelter distributed a lot of food this time, which can be said to be unprecedented, and it was free of charge!
The scent of butter wafts in the air, which is very tempting to this ordinary family. They have not eaten butter for a long time.
Sticky shelter food is almost their daily food, and they rarely even eat green vegetable leaves. Vitamin supplements basically rely on pills.
So early in the morning, they came to line up, but still couldn't get to the front.
But fortunately, it seems that this is not a limited distribution of shelters. They promise that every family and every resident will get their own share.
It's hard to control your salivation when you think of slices of bread toasted to a crisp, spread with butter, spread with two cabbage leaves and then topped with a little beef filling!
There are also many people exchanging supplies on the roadside. Some of them hope to exchange beef for more bread. Of course, some hope to exchange bread for more beef, or butter that is easier to store.
The long queue moved slowly. When the family waited, the person responsible for distributing supplies did not give them to them immediately.
"Before you receive these supplies, I need to tell you why you can get it!"
The family had been waiting for more than an hour. They didn't mind waiting for such a little longer, and they all nodded patiently.
"After the weekend there will be an administrative independence referendum on the refuge, the purpose of which is to gain independence from the federal government."
"In other words, we are still federal citizens, but we no longer accept the management of the federal government, but the management of the shelter management team."
"The advantage of this is that we no longer need to pay taxes to the federal government, nor do we need to pay the food and materials they stipulate. This part of the tax, materials or other things will be retained by us."
"These things will also be used in the construction of shelters and in maintaining the quality of our daily lives."
"If our independence referendum passes, then we will distribute these foods every cycle to improve people's living standards, and it will get better and better!"
Every federalist has heard of the independence referendum, because it is written in the charter, and it is also a channel for federalists to promote the spirit of federal freedom to the outside world!
Look, in the Federation, as long as you feel that your life is not good and the people around you feel that your life is not good, you can consider the independence referendum.
It seems like this is indeed a free choice, but in fact people have no idea at all. This is just a way of saying it.
From the founding of the Federation to this day, no one has successfully passed the independence referendum in the Charter to secede from the Federation.
Some people once thought this way, but these people soon gave up these ideas. There is always a way to change their minds. If not, then the easiest way is to make them unable to be adults.
The family of four listened very carefully, and the youngest child was not very interested in this. He preferred the fragrant smell of his mother.
"I need you to sign this form to confirm that you have heard the full briefing on the executive independence referendum and that you are willing to participate in the vote."
The male host was a little curious. He took a pen and asked, "What happens if we don't agree to vote?"
The staff shrugged, "You will be sent to an official shelter."
"It's an official shelter that requires women to sell their bodies to support their families, and that's an absolute disaster."
"It doesn't matter how well they cover it up, but we all know it!"
The man signed his name and agreed with the staff's statement.
Although there are many bad and unsatisfactory things here, at least they have a big house to live in, and at least they won't starve to death.
If they go to an official shelter, they have to be crowded into a small environment and worry about how to feed themselves.
The Shelter Alliance also has its own media, and what they often broadcast to these people is the situation of those who are not living well in the official shelters.
The lower-class people have no brains, because there is no channel to obtain information, so they will unswervingly believe in the news brought by the only information channel.
They believe that everyone in the official shelter is suffering, and they also feel lucky and happy that they can live in a private shelter!
At least they live less painfully, have a big house, and can fill their stomachs.
The male host signed his name, then put the things into the cart, he returned the pen to the staff, and said with a smile, "Yes, we all know this."
After the two people said goodbye to each other politely, the family pushed the cart away, and someone came up immediately.
Most of them wanted to adjust the food in their hands. The male host and his wife discussed that they were willing to exchange beef for more bread.
On the one hand, fresh beef is not easy to store. The heat resources in the shelter are unlimited, but the freezing resources are very limited.
Maybe the designers didn't consider this when building the shelter. The residents actually need a refrigerated environment to store food.
Of course, there are refrigerators for sale here, but who the hell would buy one in such an environment?
On the contrary, bread is easier to store. These dry-looking whole wheat breads can be placed on the radiator after returning home, and they can be kept longer after they are completely dehydrated.
It is a better choice to break a little when needed and dip it in soup or water.
The family received five pounds of beef, and kept two pounds at the request of the children. Three pounds of beef were exchanged for seven pounds of bread.
On the way back, the couple talked about what everyone was discussing, the referendum on administrative independence.
"Are we going to vote in favor?", his wife asked.
The man asked back, "Do you want to go to the official shelter?"
The short documentary of Blackstone TV before, and the negative publicity about the official shelter now, have made many people have a deep fear of that place!
No one wants to face those bad situations. If possible, none of them want to go to the official shelter.
The woman naturally chose to refuse, and the man only then said what he thought, "So we have no other choice, if you don't want to leave here!"
It seems that everyone has a fair choice, but in fact, they don't.
After the shelter has mastered the channels and content of information acquisition, their understanding of the world and the choices they can make are completely determined by the shelter.
Soon, the couple's worries were completely forgotten in the sizzling sound of beef thrown into butter and the aroma that filled the house. They haven't eaten beef for a long time!
This time they didn't dare to fry the beef too much, because if it was fully cooked, it would shrink a lot.
Frying it tender can make it look bigger and keep it better.
The three children were circling around the kitchen early in the morning. When dinner was served on the table, everyone was so happy that they almost cried!
In the evening, the channel inside the shelter began to broadcast relevant information about the referendum on administrative independence. The manager of the shelter said that with the establishment of the shelter alliance.
Once the referendum is over, they will form a different alliance from the current one, and will reissue a new currency. Every family will have new jobs and income channels.
At the same time, they will divide the residents into different levels, and everyone will start the same, including the managers.
Contributing to the shelter will increase the level. The higher the level of the residents, the more free supplies they can receive every month!
At the same time, the types and quantities of goods they can buy with money will also be greater!
This is a new mechanism that encourages everyone to work and work. As long as they are diligent, they will be able to live a happy life!
And the foundation of all this must be based on the passage of the referendum!
After dinner is the peak time for people to watch TV. Almost every family is watching these things, and they are also instilled with a set of ideas that the shelter management wants to instill.
If you want happiness, you must vote for administrative independence!
Eating beef and chewing fresh fruit, who can refuse a better future to approach themselves?
Let alone the Ice Age, even in the past, it is not possible!
This vote is a sure thing!
