Chapter 372: Sucker Shark (2)
A third way for prisoners to get food.
It was called begging.
Several guards were sitting on a rock eating lunch.
While the prisoners were eating pickled sardines and black bread, the guards were eating better things.
Guards receive a hunk of salted pork, a large hard-boiled fish roe, fresh seaweed, a bottle of manatee's milk, and, on rare occasions, carrots, spinach, or potatoes as a special treat.
More senior guards at the rank of major and above were sometimes given fruit, such as apples and oranges.
It was nothing compared to the food on the ground, but at least in the eyes of the prisoners, the guards' meals were the most delicious food in the world.
The guards would sometimes use this food as bait to lure the prisoners.
"Hey, sucker shark~"
One of the guards waved his hand playfully, and a prisoner who had been waiting in the distance ran over, his feet sweating.
"Get down."
