The talisman immediately burst into flames, and the lines of the totem gradually brightened with the flames. Then, accompanied by a slight tremor, a minivan appeared out of thin air in the dimly lit underground chamber.

“Grandma, that biscuit was for you to have something to eat,” Xi Xi immediately put on a professional smile and helped the white-haired grandmother up. “Please tidy up in the restroom, then get in the car and rest. I’ll make you something to eat in a little while.”

"This...this is too much trouble for you!" Grandma You stared at the van in front of her in shock, then looked at the washroom curtain.

Xi Xi didn't answer. She simply smiled and carefully helped her mother-in-law into the bathroom.

At that moment, she felt like a human customer service representative, afraid that even the slightest dissatisfaction from a customer would result in a negative review, thus affecting her future performance.

Now, the old woman, whose wound had been bandaged, did not reappear in the same spot. She limped around the bathroom, looking around and occasionally muttering a few words of reflection.

Xi Xi methodically filled the bathtub with amber-colored hot water for Grandma You, gave her a towel and her own men's clothes, and then left.

Grandma You, who was injured, was naturally unable to take a bath, but wiping her body, washing her face, and changing into clean clothes was more than enough for her.

Xi Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead, opened her private message and briefly explained the matter to her mother, also asking her what kind of food older people usually prefer.

Xi's mother was quite surprised by how things had turned out. She gave Xi a few more instructions out of concern, and then passed the treasure chest she had obtained that morning to Xi.

"Didn't you say you had a lucky day today and could get an extra supply? I deliberately didn't open it, so I'll give it to you to try!" Chu Zhiqin said.

Xi Xi's eyes lit up immediately. She took the high-level treasure chest that Chu Zhiqin sent through the light screen and opened it.

"Great, Ms. Chu! You've even gotten your hands on the high-level treasure chest!" Xi Xi picked up the fire-resistant talisman inside and examined it carefully.

[Item Description: Disposable consumable. Can withstand high-temperature flames for 1 minute.]

She then took out the extra item that brought good fortune through her writing. It was a spherical object with a cone-shaped base, looking very much like the crystal ball music box ornaments she loved as a child.

However, this crystal ball is quite large, about the size of a regular flowerpot.

[Item Description: Indoor planter. The transparent cover helps maintain suitable air pressure and gas density.]

Xi Xi's eyes lit up, but then quickly dimmed, because she realized that there was no suitable soil for planting in the desert.

"Alright, stop teasing me! You can keep the things here, take good care of them," said Aunt Xi while busy with her work. "Oh, by the way, I killed a big snake with my Thunder Wolf Fang Mace, so you can have some of the snake meat too."

While Xi Xi was still observing the miniature planting pot, she quickly accepted the snake meat and began to think about the recipe.

Having lived in a post-apocalyptic world for a long time in her previous life, Xi Xi knew very well that if one had not eaten for a long time, one should start with light food to allow the stomach and intestines to gradually adapt.

If you start by eating greasy, meaty foods, your stomach and intestines will not be able to handle it, which can easily cause digestive disorders, diarrhea, and a series of other problems, which will have the opposite effect.

She thought it over carefully and began to prepare. She refused to believe that with such effort, she still couldn't get any information out of Granny You.

After all, as the saying goes, to win over an NPC, you must first win over her stomach, even if that NPC is an old lady.

After a long while, the white-haired Granny You slowly walked out of the washroom. She was dressed in men's clothes and looked much more energetic.

Her complexion was no longer as pale as before, and even had a slight rosy glow.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!" Grandma You exclaimed, covering her mouth. Ignoring her sprained ankle, she quickened her pace involuntarily, as if drawn by an invisible force, heading straight for the aroma.

She walked to the front of the car and peered inside, where she saw Xi Xi's busy figure.

A large bowl of steaming century egg congee lay quietly in the center of the small table, emitting an enticing aroma.

This bowl of porridge has a warm, jade-like color. The rice grains and water are perfectly blended, presenting a light milky white color that is pure yet warm.

A few wisps of steam rose from the surface of the porridge, carrying the unique aroma of preserved egg and snake meat, which slowly permeated the entire basement.

"Come and eat, Mother-in-law!" Xi Xi, who had been lost in thought with a cold face, suddenly put on a formal smile and warmly invited her mother-in-law to come forward.

Grandma You stared intently at the bowl of porridge, as if trying to take in every detail and appreciate the original freshness of the ingredients and the ingenuity of the cooking.

Finally, she picked up the spoon, gently scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and put it into her mouth.

Century eggs, after aging, develop a deep, dark green color. They are carefully cut into small pieces and embedded in the congee.

Each piece of preserved egg is plump and juicy, melting in your mouth, complementing the smoothness of the congee perfectly, creating a delicious and harmonious flavor.

The snake meat is carefully shredded and simmered in the soup pot until it becomes very tender, with the umami flavor permeating the broth and blending perfectly with the porridge.

Grandma You's face immediately lit up with a look of surprise and delight.

The warmth and delicacy of the congee slowly unfold on the tip of the tongue, while the coolness of the preserved egg and the savory flavor of the snake meat intertwine, creating a light yet unforgettable taste.

She began to eat with gusto. Every spoonful of porridge was savored, and every chew was filled with happiness.

Grandma You's face was filled with a satisfied smile, and her movements became faster and faster. The spoon collided with the bowl, making a crisp sound, which was the most beautiful melody for her when she was enjoying her food.

In no time, she finished the bowl of porridge.

Grandma You patted her belly contentedly and began to look around at the little car.

When she saw the snakeskin woven bag on the shelf, her eyes widened instantly.

Grandma You immediately stood up and limped off the car, excitedly grabbing Xi Xi's hand: "Look at my memory! I can't even recognize my own customer!"

Xi Xi, who was carrying a hiking backpack in one hand and picking up scattered supplies with the other, was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Grandma You continued muttering to herself, then took the windproof lighter she had just picked up from her hand, looking at her like she was seeing a relative, "You bought this at my house, right!"

"Your family is..." Xi Xi asked tentatively, somewhat suspiciously.

"I'm Grandma You from the convenience store!" Grandma You said anxiously, touching her cheek. "Oh dear, look how disheveled I am, even the customers don't recognize me..."

Xi Xi looked at her mother-in-law with a look of surprise.

The convenience store she mentioned... could it be the strange, unmanned convenience store she encountered when she was reborn?!
