Chapter 250 [Provision of Porridge]
Two days later, Jamal returned with the supplies. The reason why he was able to return so quickly was that the situation this year was too special. I don’t know which head of the Rajasthan government had a cramp and chose to provide disaster relief at the first time.
Although the disaster relief supplies were not fully prepared, the road repair was still completed, and the upper class in India had the habit of giving alms. If you can see professional beggars in some big cities, they will benefit from the alms of these upper class people. They don’t have to do any work, they can survive, and their lives are not bad.
The moment the road was opened, Jamal finally returned to Sinjar Town with a large number of supplies. They were placed in the warehouse of Singh Industrial Park. If needed, Bel Singh personally went to the town to preside over the overall situation, otherwise who would dare to make the decision? Who dared to distribute these disaster relief supplies bought at a high price casually?
As a last resort, Bel Singh could only say goodbye to his family and told them not to worry about him going to the town because there were plenty of people to take care of his life. In addition, with the close protection of the human mule Brooke, no one could hurt him, but in this way, his family was even more worried.
Directing the distribution of disaster relief supplies is not an easy job, and it is exhausting. So no matter what, Lina insisted that Belle bring a chef and a maid to work in the town. The disaster relief situation at home has entered the final stage. With the old housekeeper at home knowing everything, all problems can be solved.
In addition, the old man is old and has weak resistance, so it is safer to stay at home. Two days later, Belle Singer brought people to the simple zipline bridge again. Wow, it was really thrilling, and then they came to the Singer Industrial Park in the town.
The industrial park is located at a higher altitude, and even if it is affected by the flood, it is only about half a meter deep. What is rare is that there have been sunny days in the past two days. Although the temperature is relatively high, it is good enough to dry the moisture in the land for people to walk. Seeing the mountains of supplies in the warehouse, Belle Singer was quite relieved and said with a smile at everyone.
"What are you waiting for? Every employee of Singer Industrial Company who was affected by the disaster can be distributed on a headcount basis. The standard for one tent is one tent for five people in each family. If there are more than five people in a family, two tents will be given. Everyone must rest well. Then disinfect all the ground in the entire industrial park with disinfectant and lime."
After hearing Bell Singer's instructions, everyone took action and first disinfected a large area in the relatively dry location in the center of the industrial park. After thorough cleaning, all the tents were erected and distributed on a headcount basis. Each family of five people had one tent, and more than five people were given two tents.
After distributing the tents, Bell began to organize, and the family members of the employees and women were all organized to build a simple stove. Use a large stainless steel bucket to boil water, put disinfectant powder after the water boils, and organize everyone to take a bath after sterilization. Let's wash the body first, anyway, wash it all from top to bottom.
Then take the T-shirts, cropped pants, and plastic slippers that the Singer family spent a lot of money to buy back, and both adults and children have two sets of new clothes to change. The cleaned women organized themselves and started to cook. The food was very simple, but the nutrition must be sufficient.
So they made mutton pilaf, stewed with mutton, carrots and onions, and then added rice. The only difference from XJ's pilaf is that it has curry in it. Everyone, whether adults or children, got a large spoonful of fried rice, with a fist-sized piece of mutton on it, and a large spoonful of stewed vegetables. A banana was enough to ensure everyone's nutritional intake. Everyone was very happy to eat this lunch.
Although it was a bit stuffy to live in a tent that was sheltered from the wind and rain, it was very clean and comfortable. Three meals a day were provided, with meat, vegetables and fruits. What else could these employees who had lost all their belongings be dissatisfied with? After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Belsinger organized adult men and women.
A very sticky rice porridge was cooked in a special pot, and there were fresh vegetables that had been pickled in a plastic bucket. After preparing everything, he took a disposable plastic bowl and took a truck to the center of the town. At this time, Mayor Kata, who had already received the news, and the town leaders all gathered in front of the town government gate to welcome the Singh family. Mayor Kata is indeed an old fox. Although the scale of this flood has not been seen in a century, this old fox took all his family and belongings to the government building for refuge before the flood broke out. There were dozens of armed policemen in the building who were not afraid of harassment from the hungry refugees. In order to consolidate his rule, the mayor not only came, but also took all the leaders' families to live in the building. Due to sufficient supplies, they lived quite well. Seeing Singh leading several trucks of food and workers to the town government compound, he hurriedly took the leaders to shake hands and express condolences in person. Then he used the giant loudspeaker of the town government building to broadcast the town government compound, and the Singh family was ready to provide food such as rice porridge to the refugees. Everyone was asked to come quickly to get the food. Although they were not full, they were not starving either. The rice porridge was cooked very thick and was very delicious when paired with sour and refreshing side dishes.
Although disposable plastic bowls were used, everyone who ate the porridge was reminded because supplies were so scarce. The plastic bowls must be collected and placed in the sink for cleaning, so that everyone can keep their own plastic bowls and use them for the next meal.
Then Belsinger distributed some simple disinfectant tablets to everyone, which were packed in small plastic bottles. Each bottle contained 100 tablets, which were only the size of ordinary tablets. They were placed in a kettle that could hold one liter of water for purification for half an hour, and all the bacteria and debris in the water were killed.
Although the disinfected water does not taste good, people will definitely not be infected with viruses and have diarrhea after drinking it. Because water sources are the most important after the flood. One of the top priorities is that a person can live for seven days without food, but in such hot weather in India, people will die of thirst if they are cut off from water for a day and a half.
But where are all the water sources polluted after the flood? Drink a sip of clean water. There is no such a lot of bottled water for everyone to drink. Fortunately, the water pump of the central water supply system has been repaired, and the diesel generator is running normally, although the water pumped up is very turbid.
But in any case, it is much cleaner than the water in rivers and lakes. Put a disinfectant tablet, which is enough for one person to drink for a day. Such water purification tablets are purchased in large quantities by Belsinger, enough for 50,000 people to use for a month.

In addition to these, black and white hurdle vests and shorts that usually cost a few dollars a pair were also distributed. The cheapest plastic slippers were asked to change into, and the clothes taken off were burned uniformly to eliminate the problem forever.
