Chapter 839 "Brilliant Plan"

Early the next morning, Zhu Yunque took advantage of the meal time to find Lao Tian.

"Mr. Tian, ​​can you come over and have a chat? There is something I want to discuss with you."

Zhu Yunque called Lao Tian over with a smile.

Lao Tian held a chicken drumstick in his hand and looked puzzled.

Zhu Yunque usually has a coldness in his bones, and even when he smiles at them, he is instinctively distant.

But today, she seemed a little deliberately close to him.

"To show hospitality for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief."

Lao Tian murmured in his heart, but still walked over with a smile.

"Ms. Zhu, what's the matter? Is the food in the morning not to your liking?"

Lao Tian followed Zhu Yunque to the corner of the cafeteria and asked with a smile.

He still had to be careful to please the eldest lady of the Zhu family.

Zhu Yunque shook his head: "That's not the problem. Although the taste of the food is average, it can still be swallowed."

"I came to you to ask you to do me a favor. What do you think? You won't refuse to give me this face, right?"

Facing Zhu Yunque's questioning look, Lao Tian laughed.

"Look at what you said. What do you want us to do? Can't we just tell the ship? Isn't it beneath our status to find our subordinates?"

Zhu Yunque coughed softly.

"This matter is not a big deal. There is no need to go through Mr. Zhang."

Lao Tian frowned slightly: "Then come and let me listen."

Zhu Yunque said: "I want to ask you to help me do a good deed."

She made her purpose clear.

It requires the dozen or so crew members on the ship to save part of their meals every day and then provide it to the stowaways in the bottom cabin.

"The food you have every day is so rich that you can't finish it. Last time I saw you throwing uneaten rice into the sea."

"Look, it's a waste to throw it away anyway, so why not take it out and do something good. I will also appreciate your kindness."

Zhu Yunque looked at Lao Tian with a smile.

She felt that Lao Tian would definitely agree to her request.

After all, this thing is not difficult to do, and it can please the niece of the regional commander, so why wouldn't he do it?

But who knew that things would not develop as she imagined.

After Lao Tian listened silently, he did not give a reply, but asked:

"Have you discussed this matter with our captain?"

Zhu Yunque's expression changed slightly.

If Zhang Yi found out, wouldn't she be ridiculed by Zhang Yi?

That's why she decided to kill it first and tell it later, and went directly to Lao Tian to settle the matter.

"There's no need to disturb Mr. Zhang with this kind of thing!"

Zhu Yunque said uncomfortably.

When Lao Tian heard what she said, his eyes became playful and his waist straightened.

"In this case, it will be a little difficult for me to handle!"

He let out a long sigh, looking troubled.

Zhu Yunque's eyes widened.

"Why is this so difficult? Just share out the food you can't finish. No matter what, just pick out the things you don't like! What's so difficult about this?"

Lao Tian explained: "The drinking standards for each crew member are specially set by our captain."

"Ocean voyage itself is a very test of will."

“The captain was very considerate for us and satisfied us to the maximum extent in terms of food.”

"Only when they have a full meal can the crew work with full energy."

"Haha, as for the issue of throwing away the food before finishing it! This kind of thing is impossible to say."

"There is no guarantee that if you have a bad appetite one day, you can eat less. If you encounter heavy work, you will eat more if you have a big appetite."

"If I do as you say, it will be difficult to coordinate the amount of food."

"Everyone is not eating well and has no energy to work. It is easy for something to happen on this vast sea."

Zhu Yunque was about to open his mouth to argue.

Lao Tian didn't give her a chance and said first, "So the standard meal portions are set by the captain after careful consideration."

"Otherwise, you can discuss it carefully with the captain. If he gives the order, I will dare to change it. Otherwise, I can't make the decision on this kind of thing!"

Zhu Yunque never imagined that he could not even command Lao Tian.

She was surprised that what Lao Tian said was plausible, but she didn't know how to refute it.

"Then...is there really no good solution?"

Zhu Yunque's tone was almost pleading.

When Lao Tian heard this, he didn't dare to really offend Zhu Yunque to death.

He's not Zhang Yi, he doesn't have that much courage.

Lao Tian stroked his beard and thought carefully before coming up with a solution.

"Let's do this. After we finish eating every day, no matter how much the leftover food is, we can collect it and send it to them. This can also give a few people a few bites!"

Zhu Yunque rejected this proposal without hesitation.

"This is absolutely not possible!"

"They are all humans, not animals! How can you let them eat your saliva?"

Lao Tian smiled and said: "Miss Zhu, at this time, human life is worth less than grass. When I suffered in Tianhai City, let alone swill, I even ate sour water!"

Zhu Yunque kept shaking his head, unable to accept this approach.

"This is impossible. There are more than a hundred people in the bottom cabin. If some people are given normal food and some are given swill, there will definitely be trouble."

Lao Tian sneered and looked down upon those stowaways.

"Maybe they will rush to eat our swill!"

What's wrong with the swill? Their crew's food standards are first-rate!

The leftover rice also contains fat meat and chicken bones, which is better than the food in the lower cabin.

Didn’t you know that in the last century, the people of Silla still liked to pick up the garbage thrown by the Colombian soldiers and cook it.

It is also euphemistically called "troop pot".

Refugees can no longer be treated according to ordinary people's standards.

Being able to give them something to eat and keep them alive is a great gift.

Zhu Yunque kept shaking his head, no matter how much Lao Tian persuaded him, he would not agree to do this.

Lao Tian was helpless.

"Then there's nothing I can do about it. It's up to you!"

Zhu Yunque gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a minute, if this method doesn't work, I have another method."

She thought about it all night yesterday, and she also came up with a "wonderful plan".

Lao Tian was all ears.

Zhu Yunque pointed to the vast sea and said: "We are at sea. In fact, there are many fish in the sea, which are very good ingredients."

"I want to mobilize everyone to go fishing together and replenish our food warehouse."

“In this way, we may not only be able to solve the problem of food shortage, but also expand storage!”

Zhu Yunque is very proud of his intelligence.

Because he had been sailing for so long, Zhang Yi never thought about supplementing his food through sea fishing.

However, Lao Tian rejected her proposal without hesitation.

"Ms. Zhu, this idea is very good, but it can't be realized at all!"

Zhu Yunque was unhappy, "Why can't it work? Lao Tian, ​​I am also a person who often goes to sea, and I have also taken a cruise ship to go fishing. There are many big fish in the sea, and one fish can feed several people."

"Why not? Answer me!"
