50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 174: Not used up? Take it away!
Qu Cheng opposite him thought of his old friend, sighed for a while, and then returned to the main topic.

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me read you the list."

"70 warehouses of rice, 10 warehouses of noodles, 3 warehouses of soybeans, 2 warehouses of salt, 7 warehouses of bedding, 5 warehouses of fuel, and 3 warehouses of tools."

"Did you make a note of it?"

"I've made a note of it. Thank you, Uncle Qu."

"It's a small matter. By the way, Xiao Sun, are you still recruiting students this year?"

"Uncle Qu, how old is your grandson?"

"Hey, he's one and a half years old now, and he can call grandpa so clearly. I don't want to let him go home."

"Uncle Qu, this is too young. It's best for the child to stay with his parents and relatives when he is young. This will help him develop a good character in the future."

"You can wait until your child is three years old before bringing him here. Our teachers are all very qualified and will definitely teach your child well."

"Yes, that's what I said. A child so young cannot live without adults."

"My husband and I are busy with work and don't have time to take care of the child, so we wanted to save trouble and leave it to the kindergarten. I thought your kindergarten is the best among all the kindergartens in Beijing."

"Hearing what you said, I now understand. I'll take my grandson home tomorrow and take care of him for another two years. I'll hand him over to you when he's three years old, okay?"

"No problem, just call me and I'll make the arrangements."

"Then let's make an agreement."

"We've agreed, don't worry. If anything goes wrong, you can go and complain to Director Wang. I'm most afraid of the old director."

"Hahahaha, since Sister Wang can entrust the kindergarten to you, then there's nothing for me to worry about. If she's at ease, I'm absolutely at ease too."

"Uncle Qu, thank you for your trust. Feel free to come find me when your baby turns three."

"Okay, I'll find you then."

At this time, someone from Qu Cheng called him, and Sun Zhiwei took the opportunity to say goodbye and hung up the phone.

Looking at the list of supplies written on the table and comparing it with his own check, it became clear what was extra.

There are 20 warehouses in total, including 4 warehouses for weapons, 1 warehouse for first aid kits, 2 warehouses for sugar, 5 warehouses for canned food, 4 warehouses for liquor, 2 warehouses for cigarettes, and 2 warehouses for high-end food.

What Section Chief Qu said just now was unintentional, but the listeners took it seriously.

The extra 20 items in the warehouse are not what should be in this warehouse at all. They should have been stored privately by Old Han.

As for where the things came from, I don’t know. It’s very likely that they were taken away through greed or moved from other warehouses.

Old Han, who was originally in charge of storing the supplies, ran away. By the time he dared to come back, it would have been decades later, and the other party would certainly not dare to mention what happened back then.

I thought that he must have been very depressed before he escaped. He stored so many good things in the war reserve warehouse. When the difficult times came, he wanted to get some back to use, but he found that the warehouse door was blocked by a building.

He didn't dare to make a big noise or demolish the house to open the warehouse, so he could only leave in frustration.

In the end, the items in these 20 warehouses became Sun Zhiwei's spoils of war.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the items in the warehouse were usable.

However, he still needed to deal with the things inside. The supplies they brought were enough, so there was no need to take them out in a hurry.

Over the next few days, they sorted and used the items until classes started and the adults and children gradually settled in. Sun Zhiwei took some time off and went back to the city to get 20 locks. He also found time to rearrange the items in the war reserve warehouse.

门口的1-5号仓库里的枪支弹药和急救箱，被他跟101-105库的3仓库黄豆和2仓库盐调换了一下位置。

Then, lock the last 20 warehouses.

The black materials in the 20 warehouses are temporarily safe, but the rice stored in the 70 warehouses cannot be used immediately.

Paddy rice is not rice. It needs to be husked by a rice husker to make brown rice, and then peeled by a rice mill to make the rice we eat every day.

There is no rice mill near Xiangshan, so it is a problem to find one.

There are roughly more than 70 tons of rice in the 5000 warehouses. They can't stay there for more than a few months, so opening one warehouse at most is enough.

Just as he was thinking of a solution, he suddenly thought that there was so much rice in this warehouse. Even if they didn't come to use it, if someone else needed to open the warehouse one day, where would they find a rice huller?
It was impossible not to consider this issue when putting the goods into storage.

He quickly went to three warehouses where tools were stored and found two machines packed in wooden boxes in one of the warehouses. They were a small rice huller and a small rice mill.

This matter was settled, and he happily walked out of the war preparedness warehouse without locking the door this time.

After returning to the front yard, Sun Zhiwei called his aunt from logistics over, then took her to the war preparedness warehouse and handed over the things there to her.

"Auntie, you don't need to register all the items here in detail. That would be too troublesome. Just record how many items you have taken out of the warehouse."

With so many supplies, my aunt's worried expression of the past few days has improved. After hearing what Sun Zhiwei said, she agreed without hesitation.

Sun Zhiwei was no longer responsible for the subsequent supply deployment. There were so many capable young men under his aunt's command who could be assigned, so there was no need for him to go into battle himself.

In the following half month, Sun Zhiwei opened up a new closed storage space in the underground rocks beside the mountain road and transferred all the black materials in the war preparation warehouse there.

At this point, the spoils have been dealt with.

It was foreseeable that many things would not last that long, but he really had no reason to use them.

There are many things involved, and even if it is wasteful, we can only let them go to waste.

Time passed, and when the New Year was approaching, a new order came: lift the alert.

They can go back to the city now, and it's a good time for everyone to go back together to celebrate the New Year.

After the news spread, everyone cheered. Although there was no shortage of basic facilities here, it was indeed not as convenient as in the city, and the children also missed their toys.

Everyone was eager to go home, so they packed up much faster. It only took them one day to repack their luggage, and on the third day, they set out on their return journey.

There were still a lot of supplies left in the war preparedness warehouse, so Sun Zhiwei called Qu Cheng in the logistics department to ask for advice.

"Uncle Qu, there are still quite a few things in this warehouse. We've used some, and there are still some left. How can I give you these remaining supplies?"

"Why give it to me? Aren't all the supplies allocated to you? You can take the unused ones back with you. How can I put them into storage after you hand them over?"

"This isn't the supplies allocated to logistics through official national channels. You've opened it, how could I dare to accept it?"

"Think about it, if someone with bad intentions puts drugs in the remaining supplies, then I'm still the best option. Don't you think so?"

"Okay, I'll take it away."
