Chapter 30: I'm Here
Chapter 30 Now That We're Here
Chapter 30
"Have you heard? There's a food truck outside the base! They're selling crispy pork. One portion has about one ounce of meat, and it only costs twenty source crystals!"
A shocking piece of news spread at the Magnolia Base, and many people expressed doubts about the accuracy of the news.
Everyone knows that meat is expensive nowadays. The standard supply price of meat at the base is one hundred yuan per pound.
But if you have a hundred source crystals, can you buy a pound of meat?
Of course it is impossible. The price of a pound of pork has now reached more than 700 yuan.
In this situation, if you say someone is selling crispy pork for one or two ounces of it and twenty source crystals, no one will believe it.
Crispy pork not only has meat, but also the oil is free, and the flour and starch are free too?
Food is hard currency in the end times. Some people use these supplies to make crispy pork. Is there something wrong with their brains?
Si Shen, who was suspected by everyone of being mentally ill, was lying in a rocking chair drinking tea.
As for the snack bar's fried crispy pork, it has been replaced by Nian Chengxiao.
The young owl has excellent learning abilities and still has plenty of tentacles, making him perfect for working in the kitchen.
As for the sale, there will naturally be someone to help take care of it.
Zhang Dong and his colleagues volunteered to take charge of not only sales and cashiering, but also security work.
They didn't want the source crystals either, they just wanted Si Shen to buy them a few more servings of crispy pork.
Since he can get the labor for free, why shouldn't he use it?
Kang Le and Bi Jin were responsible for packing. They had an electronic scale at hand, and the weight of each portion was allowed to fluctuate by five grams.
This electronic scale is used by Nian Chengxiao to weigh sugar. He bought it specially when he was researching cookies and cakes at home.
It’s just that Si Shen and he didn’t like things that were too sweet, so after Nian Chengxiao studied it, he never made it again.
As for the packaging paper, it was purchased from the system after Si Shen earned the source crystals.
The address and logo of their farm are also printed on it, serving as a promotional purpose.
This kind of non-functional wrapping paper is very cheap. One source crystal can buy 10,000 sheets, which is no different from giving it for free.
The people who started queuing have now reached the door, and many people are looking forward to it.
But half an hour ago, no one dared to come forward to buy.
Tian Qiyun held the bag in his hand and looked at the food truck not far away, feeling very hesitant.
He also knew that meat was hard to buy at this time, but his family had run out of food.
His wife is still eight months pregnant, and there will be no way to have an abortion when the end of the world comes.
Moreover, if he had an abortion, his wife would not survive, the hospital would have been gone long ago, and he would not have had the ability to do anything about it.
Now, he works at the base, and his meager salary is barely enough to feed two adults.
In the past two months, he has relied on his wife for everything and even used his meager salary to buy some supplements.
Now there is no food left at home, and his remaining salary is not enough to feed two people.
So when he heard that someone was selling crispy pork at a low price, he took the last 100 source crystals in his house.
If the story about the small crispy meat was true, he would use the one hundred source crystals to buy the small crispy meat and then sell it.
In this way, he will be able to overcome the current difficulties. The premise of all this is that Xiao Su Rou is real.
In fact, when Tian Qiyun walked to the gate of the base, he felt that his behavior was ridiculous.
He just heard a rumor and came here without verifying anything, which looked funny.
He looked up at the gate of the base, and since he was already there, he decided to go out.
He wanted to go out and see, just in case.
Coming out of the small door of the base, he saw the exaggerated mushroom house outside.
It looks like a little house from a fairy tale, cute yet a little weird.
Naturally, he also saw the people surrounding the mushrooms, and he walked over to take a look.
As soon as I got closer, I smelled the rich aroma of meat. As someone who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, my appetite was immediately aroused.
The judge stood next to the cashier, looking at the people in front who didn't dare to come up. After thinking for a while, he felt that they didn't dare to come up because they were afraid that his meat was fake.
He took a plate with some crispy pork on it and walked out of the shop.
"The shop offers free tastings." The judge stood there holding a plate.
But no one stepped forward. The judge was still wearing the uniform of the system. Although it was a fancy outfit, it actually looked very scary.
And the young owl standing behind him looked even more formidable.
Only in front of the judge is Nian Chengxiao gentle and cute. In the eyes of others, Nian Chengxiao is a villain.
Tian Qiyun looked at the crispy meat in front of him and held his stomach which was already starting to feel acid reflux.
He was also afraid of Si Shen and Nian Chengxiao behind him, but his current situation did not allow him to be afraid.
His wife and unborn child are still waiting for him to return.
Tian Qiyun gritted his teeth and walked up with his source crystal.
The judge watched the first brave man who tried to eat crab come out and handed it to him to try.
The chef has a good grasp of the heat for the crispy pork. It has only been out of the pan for a short time and is now at its crispiest stage.
Looking at the golden crispy meat in front of him, Tian Qiyun swallowed his saliva, picked up a piece, and slowly put it into his mouth.
The teeth bit into the crispy batter on the outside, and with a force, they cut through the pork inside.
The fantasy peppers and ham above are indeed friends, and the spicy taste appears in his mouth.
The feeling of the fat bursting in his mouth almost made Tian Qiyun cry.
It’s so delicious. If you buy this kind of crispy meat and resell it, you will definitely make a profit!
"Boss, how much is this crispy pork?"
Tian Qiyun asked immediately. He was the first person to buy it, and he could resell it after he bought it while others didn't know.
He was playing for a time difference, and the opportunity was right in front of him.
"Twenty source crystals per piece, no credit, and each person is limited to five pieces." The judge took out a sign.
Tian Qiyun's eyes lit up. He only had 100 source crystals in his hand, just enough to buy five.
"Then I want five!"
As Tian Qiyun spoke, his voice became much louder due to his excessive excitement.
Most of the people around were awakened. They had sharp ears and eyes, so they naturally heard Tian Qiyun's voice.
So a few brave people came forward and started to try the free crispy pork.
Once you start tasting it, you can't stop.
If one person is a shill, a group of people are not.
Moreover, these people are my buddies who have been through thick and thin with me!
So everyone started queuing up, and some people almost got into a fight over the queuing issue.
But Zhang Dong and the others were there. The judge had just asked Kang Le and the others to come out to help, so Zhang Dong brought them out again.
Zhang Dong didn't expect that Si Shen had handed over 60 kilograms of pork and food to the base!
He must hold on to this thigh!
So Zhang Dong and Si Shen made a verbal agreement, and their team became the guards.
Considering Zhang Dong's face and strength, ordinary people dare not act rashly.
The awakened ones with weaker abilities didn't dare to say anything, but the teams similar to Zhang Dong's didn't listen to them.
"Wang Yu, control your men and line up one by one. Don't make trouble." Zhang Dong said in a bad tone.
The short man who was being talked about glanced at him sideways. He just couldn't stand Zhang Dong.
Today he wanted to see where the meat sold at this stall came from.
If he knew what was good for him, he could force someone into joining his team. If he didn't...
As for the barking man in front of him, if he wasn't the chameleon in their team, how could Zhang Dong have let him get ahead of him!
Wang Yu's eyes were fierce. He had already investigated everything before coming here.
Xiong Tinglu, the chameleon's owner, went out to escort the people from the research institute today.
Without that one killer weapon, how could they not kill the few people left?
Wang Yu made a gesture and everyone in their team came out.
They brought everything they needed, and everyone around them who were about to buy food took a step back.
Except for those who were already in line, everyone else left.
They were afraid of being dragged into it. Zhang Dong and Wang Yu were both awakened people in the base and were very powerful.
If they start fighting, it is not something these little Karamis can stop. For the sake of their own lives, it is better for them to leave.
The judge looked at the farce in front of him with a cold face. He didn't care if they wanted to fight, but it was absolutely not allowed if it affected his own money-making.
The judge got up from his chair, walked to the stairs of the RV, and looked down at Wang Yu.
Frog flew out of his nest and stood on the shoulder of the adult owl behind him to watch the fun.
"I have no objection if you want to hit me, but please don't disturb my business and leave my sight." The judge said in a cold tone.
Wang Yu scratched his ears and asked, "Did you hear anything fart?"
The lackey beside him immediately responded, "No, Brother Wang just heard two dogs barking."
"Hahaha..." The lackeys around them laughed together.
"You are the one selling meat at the gate of the base. Tell me the source of the meat, or I will let you know what it means to be miserable." Wang Yu turned around and looked at the judge.
Wang Yu looked at the judge, who was wearing a hat and couldn't see his face clearly, looking very mysterious, and raised his left hand.
The wind blade flew past the judge's hat and knocked it off.
