Seeing this, Uncle Liao and Little Brother Liao also started eating. This kind of thing was happening to the people around them, and everyone was feeling both pain and joy.

The pain was heart-wrenching, as this way of eating was indeed a bit of a waste; but the happiness was that this was probably the most delicious and nutritious meal they had ever eaten.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they had more energy to work. A bag of flour weighed about 50 kilograms, and everyone could carry it easily on their shoulders, and the unloading speed was also much faster.

Everyone present has been making a living at sea for many years, and this kind of thing is basically commonplace. Everyone has long been accustomed to it. In addition, they have oil in their stomachs, so their energy seems to be endless, and the unloading speed is at least half as fast.

After seeing this situation, Shopkeeper Shen was also very happy. Although this sea area is hidden, with so many people here, the longer they stay, the greater the risk. It would be best to unload as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible.

In fact, if everyone is well fed, work efficiency will definitely be higher. This is such a simple truth that everyone understands. It's just that we simply didn't have the strength to do so before. Let alone feed the people who came to help with meat, we probably didn't even have the strength to feed everyone with white rice.

Now, with these thousands of tons of grain, not only can the soldiers of the main force be well fed and have more strength to fight the Japanese, but a portion of the grain can also be put into the market to stabilize prices, so that the lives of all the people around will not be so difficult.

Even if a family has an extra handful of staple food for each meal, it is the greatest reward for the common people.

After unloading the supplies from the big ship, a large number of small boats sailed to the temporary simple dock on the shore, where there were also a large number of people waiting to unload.

The food shipped from the ship would be immediately loaded onto coaches or horse-drawn carriages, which would then quickly leave the area and head towards their destination.

Normally, the most convenient way to transport such supplies is to use a human-powered tricycle, but there is none in this place. However, we have gathered a lot of people, and we can completely rely on our advantage in numbers to transport the things away.

In this way, Brother Liao and his team were busy until three o'clock in the morning, and then they transported all the supplies on the freighter. Then the one thousand-ton freighter set sail and disappeared on the sea. He would go to the material storage location, and after loading the supplies, he would go to other places.

For safety reasons, we will preset more than ten locations for unloading. Once all material transportation lines are opened, we will randomly select one or two places to land, so as to reduce the risk of exposure.

If there are 1,000 tons of materials a day, that would be 30,000 tons a month. This is not a small number and can greatly solve many problems in Guangdong Province and bring huge benefits to many ordinary people.

At four o'clock in the morning, Liao Laoshuan led the Liaojiazhuang fleet back to the village. However, before they reached the shore, they were discovered by their family members who had been waiting for them. Then someone shouted loudly:

"We're back. Our fleet is back."

Suddenly, lights were lit in every room, and everyone who stayed in the village walked out of their homes. In fact, no one was asleep, and everyone was anxiously waiting for their loved ones to return in their rooms.

It was just that because everyone was not well off and had no lights, they just stayed there in the dark. Now that they heard someone coming back, they lit the lights and went out to greet them.

The relatives who had been sailing away have returned, and everyone’s worried hearts can finally be put at ease. There are no more messy and bad predictions in their hearts. Everything is fine, really good!

Uncle Liao tied the boat first, then unloaded two bags of flour from the boat. Then the three of them carried the harvest, as if they were a general who had won a battle and was now returning to the court to accept praise from their relatives.

These foods were specially given by Manager Shen as a reward to thank everyone for their hard work throughout the night. According to what he meant, everyone had worked hard to move the supplies for a whole night, and it also delayed tomorrow's work at sea, so everyone should be given something as compensation and reward.

Originally, no one wanted it. After all, they had eaten a lot of delicious canned food and compressed biscuits tonight and were already very satisfied. If they asked for more, it would be a bit greedy.

Next, one wanted to give more and the other didn't, and the two sides argued for several rounds. Finally, Manager Shen set this standard on the grounds that a large amount of supplies would be shipped in in the future.

If transportation is still needed in the future, we will pay for it, which will be good for everyone.

It was calculated as 10 kilograms of flour per person and 40 kilograms for a small fishing boat. And because today was the first time of transportation and everything was going smoothly, Manager Shen waved his hand and doubled the food supply for all personnel.

Brother Liao's family of three and a boat obtained 100 kilograms of high-quality flour tonight, as well as two saved cans of food and three compressed biscuits. If they eat sparingly, the whole family will have enough to eat for about a month.

But these are all small things. There are only less than 5,000 people who can participate today. One hundred thousand kilograms of grain is only 50 tons, which is not much.

Moreover, these grains are given to the common people. At least 5,000 families can have a few good meals. It is not a loss no matter how you calculate it, and it can also gain the full support of the common people.

After Uncle Liao put the food into the house, he said to Aunt Liao: "Let's sleep for a while. When it gets light, you can cook a pot of noodle soup for us to eat when we wake up."

After saying this, he fell asleep on his boat. The main reason was that he was a little old, and he had to keep his nerves tense all the time on the boat, not daring to make any mistakes, which was a bit too much for his body.

Fortunately, they had canned meat and compressed biscuits to support themselves, otherwise many of them would have collapsed long ago. The same was true for Brother Liao and Little Brother Liao. In order to speed up, they had no choice but to endure it. Now that they have finally returned home, a huge feeling of fatigue came over them, and they fell on the bed and fell asleep.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them woke up. All their previous fatigue was swept away. This was all thanks to the good meal last night, otherwise it would not have been so easy.

After eating a little, Big Brother Liao asked Little Brother Liao and Little Sister Liao to find the old patriarch and other people in charge of the family, and then he told them in detail what Manager Shen had said.

"My dear grandfathers and uncles, I grew up under your watch. I believe you all know my character well."

"Big brother, we are all family, from the same village, so just speak directly if you have anything to say."

"You went out to sea last night, and I heard that you brought back a lot of food. This morning, I took a special look and found that it was all top-quality wheat. I haven't seen this kind of pure food in several years."

"Since you have a good opportunity, you can also take our kid with you so that we can all survive in this chaotic world."
