I became a nouveau riche and found a poor young lady as my fiancée

The people around were envious when they saw this. The fire meant they could eat hot food and drink hot water. They were already planning to ask for some hot water to drink.

In fact, Songgang Dong wanted to bring a gas stove for camping, but unfortunately this thing only started to become popular in 2002, so it is not available now.

In this era, people usually camp using local materials or carrying some charcoal, but alcohol stoves are rarely brought because they are not cost-effective compared to local materials and charcoal.

The reason why Songgang Dong brought it with him was because he didn’t know much about camping in this era. This is also a common problem made by novice campers, that is, buying the corresponding equipment is very complete.

In fact, for ordinary veterans, it is enough to bring some necessary things. Many things can be obtained locally from the mountains.

“Where is the meat?” Saori asked puzzledly.

Songgang Dong took out a can of luncheon meat and said, “Here it is. You don’t even need to add salt when you cook it with rice.”

“Mr. Songgang, you are awesome,” Qian Huifu said with admiration in his eyes.

“Fortunately, our backpack containing food was not lost,” Song Gangdong said thankfully.

Then he threw the alcohol block into the stove and lit it, while Teacher Ohkouchi helped to connect the small pot to the rainwater. Of course, rice could not be put in now, as the rainwater had to be boiled first.

Although it is said that rainwater is rootless and clean, this is all nonsense, because most rainwater is formed by condensation with pollutant particles as nuclei, which can be said to be very unclean.

What’s more, with the invention of the atomic bomb and repeated experiments by some countries on remote islands, nuclear pollutants exist in the atmosphere, so rainwater is also unsafe.

Therefore, it must be boiled before it can be used. After a while, everyone smelled the delicious aroma and all eyes were focused on the alcohol stove.

Song Gangdong felt that it was about right and said with a smile: “If you don’t mind, you can try my cooking. I guess each person won’t get a lot, but it’s enough to eat with bread and biscuits, and it can also help to get rid of the cold.”

“This little brother is so righteous, so I won’t be polite.”

“It’s good to have a few sips of hot drink”

“Thank you so much”

“What a nice guy”

Others were generous with their compliments, but Song Gangdong just smiled and didn’t care. In fact, praise is the cheapest thing, and it is meaningless without real rewards.

However, many people can accept such empty things, such as the big promises made by bosses, the words that parents have been saying since childhood, and so on.

This may be a kind of spiritual pursuit among human beings. In fact, everyone has this situation. Songgang Dongyu just doesn’t like praise from outsiders, but he still enjoys praise from familiar people and relatives.

The porridge was ready quickly. Fortunately, there were no shameless people here who would rush to get the porridge first, so they were all served first.

Later, other people came to get the porridge in various containers. Fortunately, the pot they used was small but very deep. It didn’t look like it could hold much, but it was barely enough to share it among more than ten people.

Although each person only had half a bowl, it was enough. After sharing, Songgang Dong did not end the cooking but started to boil water and put the remaining ginger in.

Ginger water is still very useful for their current situation. After all, although there is a cover on their heads to protect them from rain, the cold wind blowing from all around will take away the heat from their bodies.

“Young man, your porridge tastes very good and your cooking skills are very good,” Yoshino praised after drinking it.

Song Gangdong said modestly: “This is nothing, just a little cooking.”

Yoshino shook his head. “The heat, the ratio of ingredients, and everything else are perfect. I run a restaurant, so I definitely can’t be wrong.”

“Yoshino? Grandpa, you are not the one from Yoshinoya, right?” Matsuoka Dong asked carefully.

There are actually quite a few people in Japan with the surname Yoshino, such as his editor, but the old man in front of him said that he was in the catering industry, which made him think more.

“Haha, that’s right. I’m Yoshino Matsusaka, the former president of Yoshinoya, but I’m retired now,” he said with a smile.

“I said he looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before. It turned out to be him. He had appeared on TV before.”

“He is actually the former president of Yoshinoya”

“I didn’t expect to be camping at the same place with such a big shot.”

“I can brag to others about being in trouble with such a great man.”

People around were whispering, but Yoshino Matsusaka himself didn’t care, and Matsuoka Dong didn’t care either. He just smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Grandpa Yoshino to have this identity.”

“I’m just a retired old man now,” Yoshino responded by waving his hand.

“He is also a famous old man,” Songgang Dong said with a smile.

In fact, the Yoshinoya in this world is very different from the previous life. Originally, the name Yoshinoya was taken from a place name, and its founder was a man named Yoshie Matsuda.

But here the founder of Yoshinoya is called Yoshino, the surname and the name of the region are exactly the same, and there is no other difference.

Yoshinoya is also a very famous beef rice specialty store in Neon, and it is also a blessing for the poor.

Chapter 112 Only One Room Left

The people in the pavilion finally recovered a little after drinking the porridge and ginger hot water. They looked better, but they were all very tired.

After all, it is already the late night, and after half the night of shock and tossing and turning, my eyelids are now fighting, but unfortunately there is not much place to lean on.

So many familiar people could only sit back to back with their eyes closed to rest, and the same went for Matsuoka Dong and the others. Chiefuku, Saori, and Shinomiya occupied his left and right and behind him.

Chie and Saori leaned on both sides, Shinomiya leaned on the back, and Yoshikawa and Ōkouchi teacher leaned on each other.

As for Yoshino, he seemed to be more energetic due to his old age and lack of sleep. He secretly gave Songgang Dong a thumbs up, and Songgang could only respond with a helpless smile.

The heavy rain gradually subsided, but it was impossible for the rescue team to show up in such darkness. The earliest they could set out was when the sun just rose.

Because they know that in a flash flood like this, looking for survivors at night is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the people who go to rescue will also be in danger.

So they could only stay here until dawn, but because the most dangerous time had passed, no one was too scared.

The cold autumn wind with moisture fell on everyone’s body. The night gradually became colder. The three girls also huddled closer together, but thanks to this, they felt a lot warmer.

Songgang Dong felt his back sink, and then he found that Shigong’s head was completely resting on him. Thanks to her, he was able to fall asleep while standing like this.

Unlike the guys on both sides who were not falling down because of his arms, he had to put in a lot of effort and was slowly sweating. You know, supporting the weight of three people is not an easy task.

The heavy rain gradually began to subside, and you could clearly see the dark clouds in the sky gradually thinning out. When the first ray of sunshine appeared, the sky was completely clear.

Da da da da da…

The extremely loud noise woke everyone up. They looked into the distance and saw a black dot flying towards them.

“It’s a helicopter! The rescue team is here!”

Everyone was overjoyed, then walked out of the pavilion, waded through the water, and waved and shouted at the helicopter. The helicopter also noticed and flew over here, and soon arrived directly overhead.

Then a man slid down the rope ladder. He was wearing orange clothes and it was obvious that he was a rescue member.

“I am the rescue team leader Sen Luo Rixia. Is anyone injured?” Sen Luo asked.

“Yes, one person had a broken leg and was in a coma for a while,” Song Gangdong said quickly.

Sen Luo nodded and said, “Send the injured up first, and then the others. The helicopter can seat five, and there will be another one behind it soon.”

Everyone agreed, and soon Yoshino was pulled up with a rope, and then the other four people followed. Originally, Songgang and the others were supposed to go first, but they chose to go together as the last group.

Captain Sen Luo also stayed behind just in case. Sure enough, after the helicopter flew away, the second one arrived soon after, and the others got on one by one.

Then two helicopters came back and took away all the remaining people. Matsuoka Dong and the girls sat in one, while the captain and Ohnogi sat in another.

The reason for this distribution is entirely the result of the captain’s command. You can tell why from the look in his eyes when he looks at Ohkouchi.

The noise from the helicopter was very loud, so they couldn’t chat at all, so they could only look quietly at the mountains below. At this time, the mountain torrents had not completely receded, and they could clearly see a muddy stream flowing down the mountain.

Then the camping site was completely covered by river water, and some camping equipment could be seen on it. It was really tragic.

In fact, they were also unlucky because the place where they camped happened to be on the path of the flash flood and river. Other places were not so serious.

The only place around them that was spared was the top of the hill where they were, thanks to Yoshino’s guidance, otherwise they would have been in great danger of death if they had run to other places.

The helicopter quickly landed in the largest hotel in the town at the foot of the mountain. Then after they got off one after another, the helicopter flew away. It seemed to be in a hurry, and there were probably other victims in the mountain.

Ohnogi also came down. When Songgang Dong saw the captain’s discouraged expression, he knew that there was probably no hope, so he flew away.

“Teacher” Song Gangdong and the others walked over to meet up.

Ohkouchi nodded and said, “I just heard from Captain Mori that the impact of this mountain torrent is very serious, and the road to the town is also blocked by mudslides, so reinforcements cannot come for the time being. We can only stay in this hotel first.”

“How could this happen? My parents should be very worried,” Qian Huifu said distressedly.

Yoshikawa had the same expression: “Me too. I guess it will be difficult to camp next time.”

Parents are usually like this. If a child encounters danger when doing something, they will simply not allow him to have any contact with the child from then on.

“Don’t worry, the teacher will explain it to them. Let’s go in now,” Okouchi comforted them.

Then a few people entered the hotel. It was very lively here with people trapped here. Then they found one or two survivors among them.

After a brief greeting, they went to the front desk to check in. Although this was a catastrophic event, the government would not pay for hotel expenses.

So for economic considerations, Ohnogi planned to ask for two rooms, a large one for the girls and a small one for Songgang Dong herself.

“Sorry, there is only one presidential suite left,” the receptionist said apologetically.

“Well, let’s go look somewhere else,” Okawachi said regretfully when he heard this.

As soon as she heard the word presidential suite, she knew it must be very expensive, so she didn’t even ask the price and prepared to take the students to other places.

The front desk kindly reminded us: “Because the road is blocked, the nearby hostels and hotels are almost all full, and you may not be able to find a vacant room.”

Ohnochi was suddenly a little depressed, but she was still prepared to give it a try. However, one person would be enough to go and inquire, so she asked Songgang Dong and the others to stay where they were.

“Teacher, there’s no need to bother. Just stay here for a while,” Song Gangdong said quickly.

“Don’t be silly. You know how much it costs for one night. I’ll go out and look for some. Otherwise, you can find a family with a vacant room and stay there for one night,” Okouchi said in a lecturing manner.

Song Gangdong smiled and said, “I’m not kidding, teacher, wait for me.”

After saying that, he ran to the counter. The lady at the front desk was a little confused at first, but then her eyes sparkled when she saw the black card in his hand.

Chapter 113: Which one do you think it is?

When the lady at the front desk was checking Song Gangdong in, even the hotel manager came out to personally greet him warmly.

“Mr. Songgang, your room card has been processed,” the lady at the front desk handed it to him with a smile.

When Songgang Dong reached out to take it, he felt her scratching his palm twice and winking at him, the meaning was quite clear.

As long as he nodded slightly, the other party would definitely ask him out for tea after get off work. Although she was very beautiful, Song Gangdong didn’t want to have anything happen with a strange woman because it was too unsafe.

So he just calmly put away the black card and room card and asked Sigong and the others to follow the manager to the room, which made the front desk lady very disappointed.

Then they looked at Sigong and became very jealous. After all, there were very few rich, young and handsome men.

At this time, Ohnogi had a blank look on her face. She said in disbelief, “Songgang, stop messing around and cancel the room immediately. How much will it cost?”
