Chapter 69
After the first batch of fruits were collected, the robot, which looked small but very strong, found a cart from somewhere and transported the fruits to the restaurant kitchen in baskets of ten.
The polluters who saw the fruit along the way were all attracted and gathered together, their eyes full of anticipation: "Boss, are you selling fruit?"
If it were in the past, when they saw so many fruits with normal shapes, they would probably suspect that these were just models. After all, every fruit grown in the back mountain was brightly colored, beautiful, and plump in shape, completely different from the various deformed fruits after the apocalypse.
But this is a hotel, and the polluters have come to accept the impossibility of what is happening here.
One of the polluters, whose belly had grown disfigured, wiped the suspicious liquid from his mouth and said, "I haven't eaten an apple in five years."
"Boss, sell it to me. I'll pay any price!"
Wen Bei set up a small stall in the open space at the entrance of the restaurant and put the fruits on it.
He planned to sell part of it first, and then give half of it to the cannery outside the hotel, so that they could can the fruits and then send them to the base for sale.
According to their previous regulations, half of the crystals obtained from the sales must be divided among the hotels.
Therefore, Wenbei is not worried at all about not making money after canning the fruit.
Seeing the stalls piled high with fruits, all the polluters lined up consciously.
At the beginning, some people had an argument just to stand in the front. If violence was not prohibited in the hotel, they would have even fought each other. The scene was a bit chaotic for a while.
Qiu Tin stood beside Wen Bei with a lack of interest, watching him arrange the fruits, with no intention of stopping him at all.
If they were all dead in front of him now, perhaps he would still be interested in raising his eyelids to take a look.
Fortunately, the chaos was stopped in time by Su Wu who appeared.
He did nothing but stood aside with a broom in his hand, looking at the crowd with his big watery eyes.
Everyone's hair stood on end, and they immediately became respectful and amiable. The few people who were arguing just now were now being courteous, as if they couldn't wait to help each other queue up and pay the bill.
Su Wu has been working in the hotel for several days. As a cleaning staff of the hotel, his attitude towards cleaning work is not to deal with the garbage, but to deal with the people who create the garbage.
At first, some people thought he was small and not to be feared, until he caught and beat up more and more polluters who littered in the hotel, and no one dared to do that anymore.
Although violence is not allowed inside the hotel, it is different outside the hotel.
Anyone who is dragged out by Su Wu, even if he is a power-type polluter, will be as powerless to resist as a chick.
Anyone who sees a slender boy who is only 1.68 meters tall and looks like an angel, cursing while pinning a 1-meter-tall, muscular and strong man to the ground and punching him would be horrified.
You may dream of this strange scene in the middle of the night.
So now every traveler who comes to the hotel will consciously throw their garbage into the self-cleaning trash can, and even the most rude and uncultured polluters will always pay attention to the hotel's hygiene issues.
Even when checking out, you have to take away the extra garbage.
Su Wu was very satisfied with this. He became free because of it, and when he saw Wen Bei needed help, he came over immediately.
The effect is immediate.
The line finally formed, and Wen Bei looked at the first lucky person standing in front of his stall: "Hello, apples and pears are 100 crystals each, and peaches are 125 crystals each. Each person is limited to three."
When they heard that there was a purchase restriction, the people in the front of the line showed disappointment, while the people in the back of the line showed joy.
"I'll buy it! I'll buy three apples!"
"I'll have one of each of the three fruits!"
This price is still affordable for those polluters who accept missions in contaminated areas and live on the edge of a knife.
Some polluters had previously spent all their crystals on other expenses in the hotel, so they chose to borrow from their fellow travelers.
The person traveling with me was a little clever: "I can lend it to you, but you have to give me your share. You buy two and I’ll give you the other one."
One person can only buy three, and using this method you can get one extra.
Things like this keep happening in the queue, and Wenbei doesn't intend to get involved as long as it's not too excessive.
He was selling fruits seriously, putting the fruits selected by customers into bags, and looked a little obedient with his eyes lowered.
Su Wu approached, looking at it eagerly, the fox ears on his head drooping down: "Can I eat it?"
Wen Bei directly handed him a peach.
Su Wu looked at Qiu Tin proudly and took a big bite of the peach as if to show off.
This is the peach that the boss handed to me personally!
Oh.
Qiu Tinge raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him with a hint of sarcasm, then called out softly.
Hearing his own name, Wen Bei subconsciously turned his head to look at the man: "Huh?"
Then suddenly an apple was pressed against his lips.
It was an apple that had been peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Wen Bei ate it and blinked: "Thank you."
The cut fruit is very convenient to eat, not to mention that someone will hand it to your mouth.
So Wen Bei accepted food from Qiu Ting while selling fruits. There was an indescribable tacit understanding between the two.
Su Wu, who was standing aside, seemed out of place.
Su Wu stared at Qiu Tin in a daze, having never expected this trick to work.
In comparison, one was the person who carefully cut the fruits, and the other was himself who wasted time asking for the fruits. He realized that in terms of scheming, he was still completely defeated.
Shocked, Su Wu wiped away his non-existent tears and left in grief and anger.
Wen Bei noticed out of the corner of his eye: "Why is he gone?"
Qiu Tincture: "Maybe he's unhappy because he doesn't like peaches."
He also did not forget to touch the white fox in the dark.
Wen Bei tilted his head in confusion, but didn't take it too seriously.
The first person who bought the fruit couldn't wait to eat it, and many people were staring at him.
As he took his first bite of the pear, everyone looked expectant: "Is it delicious? Does it taste like the pears from before the apocalypse?"
The man didn't say anything and just stood there in a daze.
Others were even more anxious: "Is it delicious?!"
“Is it bitter too?”
"I once ate a deformed pear that tasted like cement!"
Finally, under everyone's nervous gaze, the man moved. He swallowed the pear in his mouth in big gulps, and without saying anything, he immediately took a second bite, and a third bite...
Not only did he not peel the pear, he even ate the core of the pear cleanly.
He licked his fingers, his eyes glistening with tears: "It's so delicious!"
After five years, he was able to eat normal and delicious fruit again!
Now everyone in the queue felt relieved, and the line suddenly became much longer.
With this momentum, the fruits on the stall were sold out quickly, and Wen Bei even left some to sell later.
He first asked Ji Mingyuan to send the extra fruits to the cannery. As he was watching them, he suddenly saw a polluter stumbling in.
He was sweating and his eyes were tired. "Excuse me, is this a hotel?"
Wen Bei was about to nod when he suddenly fainted.
The rabbit butler appeared in time and shook his beard unhappily: "Useless human."
After saying that, it dragged the man into the hall and made him lie on the guest sofa in the hall.
This scene seemed familiar, Wen Bei frowned: "What happened to him?"
The rabbit housekeeper felt his pulse and pried open his eyelids to take a look: "It's okay, he just fainted from heatstroke."
"Heatstroke?" Wen Bei was surprised.
Polluters don't get heatstroke easily.
A contented polluter who had just finished a piece of fruit joined in the fun. "It's been scorching hot outside lately. Judging from his appearance, he must have just been through a tough fight, gone without water for too long, and then had some intense exercise."
Wen Bei looked at the bright sunshine outside and realized that he had been staying in the hotel and not going out recently because of the problem with the fruit trees, so he didn't realize that the weather outside had become bad again.
The polluter continued, "You don't know, ever since that inexplicable acid rain fell that day, the temperature has been rising steadily. Now the temperature outside is almost 50 degrees."
Wen Bei was stunned for a moment, and once again deeply realized the fickleness of the end of the world.
No wonder there are fewer tourists in the hotel recently.
Traveling in such hot weather is as likely to cause accidents as traveling in extremely cold weather.
Wen Bei thought about it and decided to do something.
He searched in the system mall and successfully bought an ice shaver.
By adding fruit to the shaved ice machine, he can make delicious and cold shaved ice.
The solution to the missing important raw material, ice, was soon found from an ice polluter.
When the polluter heard that there was free shaved ice, he froze a large bucket of water without saying a word.
So a new stall was set up next to the fruit stall outside the restaurant - a shaved ice stall.
Unlike the fruit stall, the shaved ice this time is free.
Each person can receive a bowl of peach shaved ice.
The rabbit housekeeper didn't understand why Wen Bei did this. It thought it was weird that someone who was only thinking about making money would do such an activity.
It was so scared that its fur stood on end, and it even suspected that its boss had been replaced.
It walked around and observed Wen Bei, but didn't find anything unusual.
The most important thing is that Qiu Tinge has always stood beside him like a giant pet.
If the boss was really replaced, he would definitely be the first one to notice something was wrong.
So the boss just changed his gender! ?
This is even harder for the Rabbit Butler to accept.
Finally, Wen Bei couldn't stand its stupid look anymore, so he bent down and whispered something in its ear.
The rabbit housekeeper showed a look of sudden realization, and his fur stopped standing up. He clapped his hands towards Wen Bei.
Soon, all the guests in the hotel had free shaved ice, and Wen Bei also expressed his request.
The hotel will be undergoing a major renovation tonight. At 8 o'clock, all consumption venues will be closed and individual guests will need to leave. Travelers who have booked rooms or hourly rooms are restricted from leaving the rooms.
This request was a bit sudden. If it had been made before, some people might have complained. After all, they had risked their lives to reach the hotel, but tonight there was suddenly a consumption restriction.
But now they had just eaten the free shaved ice given by the boss, and no one had any objections and they all nodded in agreement.
At the same time, smarter people have begun to figure out the other meaning behind the hotel owner's words.
They realized that after tonight, maybe something would be different.
