After a while, Qin Jing and Qin Ruanruan came over one after another and said that they had lost some pocket money.

Qin's mother said, "Let's call the police!"

"no!"

Qin's father and Qin Ruanruan tried to stop them in unison.

Father Qin glanced at Qin Ruanruan.

When Qin Ruanruan thought of the two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that were stolen from her, her heart ached like a knife. That was the start-up fund she had prepared for her future business, and now everything was gone.

But she dared not say this to anyone, so she could only swallow her anger. She pretended to be understanding and said:

"If the police come to our house, it will make people think that something serious has happened to our family, which will affect our reputation. Besides, the money may have been taken by my second sister."

She didn't think that Qin Wan had stolen the things, but that didn't stop her from throwing dirty water on Qin Wan.

Qin's father also meant the same thing. Although he was also very angry, he felt that it was more cost-effective not to call the police than to be criticized behind his back. He just thought of it as losing money to avoid disaster.

After all, it was not a glorious thing to sign up his second daughter, who already had a job, to go to the countryside as an educated youth. If it got out of hand, it would indeed damage his reputation.

Qin Wan had a good sleep in the guesthouse. When he woke up, he found that it was already dark and the lights were on.

She stretched, got up from the bed, and after washing up, she dressed herself up as a thin young boy, wearing dark clothes, a hat and a mask, trying to make herself look as low-key as possible.

After packing up, Qin Wan decided to go out for a good meal first, and then go look for the legendary black market.

Leaving the guesthouse, Qin Wan discovered the streets were ablaze with lights, bustling with traffic. Although this was only a small county town, the atmosphere at night was exceptionally warm.

Qin Wan arrived at the door of a state-owned restaurant. The restaurant looked a bit old, but the sign at the door was very eye-catching. Walking into the restaurant, the decoration inside was also relatively simple, but clean and tidy.

Maybe because it was night, there weren't many customers in the store.

Qin Wan walked to the counter and saw a woman in a green pullover knitting. She knew she was a waitress at the restaurant. So she took out a Great Unity ticket and half a pound of food coupons and started ordering.

"Fighting with the sky is endless fun, fighting with the earth is endless fun, fighting with people is endless fun, beautiful waiter comrade, I want one portion of braised pork, one portion of sweet and sour carp, and two portions of rice."

"Serve the people, comrade. The total cost is three dollars and two cents plus half a pound of food coupons from you." The woman saw someone buying food, quickly put away her sweater and raised her head to answer.

Seeing that the woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with fair skin, willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, Qin Wan couldn't help but call out "beautiful waitress comrade". Unexpectedly, this made the waitress shy. Two blushes appeared on her face and her attitude was surprisingly nice.

"Never forget class struggle, my beautiful waitress comrade, here are some money and tickets for you!" Qin Wan saw that his flattery skills worked, so he continued to do so.

Qin Wan paid the bill quickly, then stood at the window waiting for the waiter to call her to serve the dishes.

There were few people eating in the evening, and soon the waiter started calling her to serve the food.

Qin Wan trotted back with her food. Seeing the golden-colored, fat-and-lean braised pork, her heart was filled with excitement. She picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. It was fat but not greasy, with a slightly sweet taste, and it melted in her mouth. Qin Wan squinted her eyes happily. It was really delicious!

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had really eaten a meal that was so delicious.

She only knew that since the end of the world, real food had become less and less available. Even though she was a high-level wood-type mutant, she could only rely on compressed biscuits and nutrient solution to fill her stomach every day.

Qin Wan brought the food to a table closer to the front desk and couldn't wait to start devouring it. Even though she was grimacing from the heat, it didn't stop her from enjoying the delicious food!

Ooooh…it’s so hot! Hiss—delicious!

Qin Wan blew away the hot air while impatiently taking a bite of the meat bun. As a result, he was so burned that he stuck out his tongue, but he was reluctant to put the bun down, so he had to continue eating while blowing out the hot air.

She was so absorbed in her eating that she didn't notice the waiter at the counter looking at her with a smile, and she kept thinking:

This young man, the way he eats, why does he look so much like the little white cat I raised many years ago!

The waiter was thinking about it when he suddenly saw Qin Wan was scalded. The waiter immediately stood up, brought out a bowl of cold water, and walked quickly to her.

"Young man, you must have been scalded. Come, drink some cold water to cool down." The waiter said gently with a friendly smile on his face.

Qin Wan was stunned. She had originally thought that waiters of this era would be as arrogant and indifferent as the legend said. But the enthusiasm and concern of the waiter in front of her surprised her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"Thank you." Qin Wan took the bowl of water and said gratefully.

"You're welcome, take your time and eat. Don't be in a hurry." The waiter nodded with a smile and went back behind the counter.

Qin Wan drank some water and felt her throat feel better. She looked up at the waiter, who smiled at her.

This friendly attitude gave Qin Wan a new understanding of this era and made her full of expectations for her future life.

"Thank you, beautiful waitress! You are so beautiful and kind-hearted!" Qin Wan gave the waitress another big hat.

The waitress was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. The young boy praised her beauty. This was the first time she heard it. No matter whether it was true or not, she felt comfortable listening to it.

After dinner, Qin Wan went to the food window again and asked the waitress, "Sister Meili, I want to take some food back for my family. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, of course. What do you want to buy?" the waiter replied with a smile.

"I want to buy two more portions of braised pork, two portions of sweet and sour carp, twenty meat buns, and twenty steamed buns. Is that okay with you?"

Qin Wan asked cautiously, fearing that she had bought too much and the waiter wouldn't sell it to her.
