Chapter 370: 369 I don’t like to eat turkey.

Compared to Xiang City.

Workers really didn’t want to compare, but they couldn’t help it; they inevitably contrasted Xiang City with City E.

The architecture in City E... was virtually nonexistent – just a sprawl of hastily erected tents.

And not only that but the tents were set up so haphazardly that there were no semblance of roads – the ground was littered with trash.

How filthy was it? It was to the extent that if you weren’t careful with every step, you might actually step in feces.

The entire city had never been properly planned from the start.

Because there were no designated restrooms, people relieved themselves wherever they could.

And if random defecation wasn’t bad enough, there was no one assigned to clean it up; something that would never happen at Xiang City Base.

There were dedicated sanitation workers in Xiang City, and even a Clearing Team to maintain the base’s cleanliness.

There were also sweeping robots placed by someone unknown; they were all over the streets and alleys.

They cleaned up even the tiniest bits of debris spotlessly.

Not to mention, if anyone dared to relieve themselves in public, the police would catch them and fine them.

And the fines were quite hefty.

There were enough restrooms at Xiang City Base as well. Each street had four or five public toilets, so congestion was impossible.

Hu Yanxiang couldn’t help but feel disgusted inside, smelling the stench of City E, his mind almost uncontrollably recalling the goodness of Xiang City Base.

The survivors he had brought with him were also grumbling quietly.

But Hu Yanxiang comforted himself, thinking City E was this way because they lacked sufficient labor for infrastructure construction. With their arrival, things would improve.

He believed that with the influx of strong laborers raised in Xiang City, City E would quickly develop and become like Xiang City.

Given this batch of workers arriving, Qu Shiheng, with a grim expression, condescended to greet Hu Yanxiang and his group.

He had traveled lightly with his sister from Southern Xiang City and hence arrived in City E much faster than Hu Yanxiang. Seeing the large throng of men behind Hu Yanxiang, Qu Shiheng, ear missing, nodded with satisfaction.

He extended his hand towards Hu Yanxiang, shook it briefly, and said with a hint of meaning,

"Welcome to City E. I believe that with your help, City E will become better and better. Right now, City E is just lacking labor."

Qu Shiheng was keen to make comparisons with Xiang City. He pulled out a new set of blueprints and said to Hu Yanxiang and his people:

"This is the new design for the wall construction of City E – let’s build a base here too."

Hu Yanxiang’s heart sank a little. He just glanced at Qu Shiheng’s blueprints, then smiled and followed behind him, speaking away from the others:

"Young Master Qu, this blueprint is well-drawn, but we can always build a base, there’s no rush at this moment."

"Right now we’re so famished we can barely stand, let alone build walls or infrastructure. We need a few days to rest before we can handle any construction."

If they were going to build a base, shouldn’t they first discuss and agree on the supplies and treatment for the workers?

Back in Xiang City, before the workers started to build the base, the contractor had already negotiated their remuneration in full.

But Qu Shiheng hadn’t started to talk about compensation and had already handed Hu Yanxiang the blueprints, expecting him to organize the workers for construction.

They had traveled from afar to reach City E and were already starving; they needed a place to settle first and rest for a few days.

Only after they were well-fed and in good spirits should they begin the base construction.

Qu Shiheng rolled up the blueprint in his hand, his face contorted with seriousness.

He said coldly to Hu Yanxiang,

"Do I need to get you a luxury tent and find some beauties to keep you company, using endless supplies to support you before you’re willing to work?"

"Since you’ve come to E City, you have to contribute to our E City. I’m saying you must immediately start building the city wall, and you need to get moving on that."

"No room for discussion."

To tell the truth, Qu Shiheng’s attitude was very tough. He had faced setbacks in Xiang City and even lost an ear, which had left him with a deep-seated hatred.

After returning to E City, he turned that hatred into motivation, determined to make E City into a base even bigger than Xiang City.

So now, Qu Shiheng was extremely anxious.

Therefore, when such a large group of strong laborers finally arrived, Qu Shiheng only wanted to put them to work in construction as soon as possible.

Hu Yanxiang wiped his face, feeling increasingly unable to convince himself that E City was better than Xiang City.

But he still hadn’t given up hope on E City.

It was simply that Xiang City had gone too far, causing him to lose all hope for it.

So, in a placating tone, Hu Yanxiang said to Qu Shiheng,

"It’s not impossible to start construction immediately, but could you give us something to eat?"

On the journey to E City, each person had brought a large amount of supplies.

But since they came on foot and the men had large appetites, the supplies didn’t last long before they were eaten up.

What was left probably wouldn’t last long in E City either.

So, Hu Yanxiang and the others urgently needed to replenish their supplies.

Qu Shiheng thought about it and realized this made sense; he couldn’t let people start working on an empty stomach.

He immediately called Qu Yimin and told her to take Hu Yanxiang to get supplies.

Qu Yimin seemed very reluctant. She looked disdainfully at Hu Yanxiang and then at the vast workforce outside the Qu Family’s large tent.

Hmph, she could tell these guys were so big because they must have eaten a lot in Xiang City.

Now they wanted to come and consume in E City, but Qu Yimin wasn’t about to indulge these people.

"Follow me," Qu Yimin beckoned.

Hu Yanxiang followed Qu Yimin, and several people from the Qu family carried out a basket full of instant noodles.

Hu Yanxiang’s eyes widened as he pointed to the basket of instant noodles and asked Qu Yimin,

"Is this the supply for just me?"

Even he couldn’t eat that much instant noodles. If this were the Xiang City Base, they would also distribute instant noodles to the workers.

But along with the instant noodles, they would hand out many other things, such as milk to accompany the noodles, self-heating hotpots, apples, oranges, beverages, beer... and so on.

A whole basket of instant noodles, all of a single flavor, was just too much.

Qu Yimin looked at Hu Yanxiang with sarcasm,

"What are you thinking? Dreaming, are you? These are the supplies for all of you. Hurry up and eat, so you can get to work."

Hu Yanxiang hadn’t even recovered from his shock, mumbling,

"This is just too much; I definitely can’t finish it. Don’t you have any other flavors? It’s all turkey flavor, and I don’t like turkey."
