But, everyone bought it.
Why are there so many boxed lunches?!
Looking around, Jiang Lin'an decided to take this precious food back to share with his mother and sister.
He wrapped himself in rags and hurried to the house that belonged to their family of three.
"Crack—"
The iron door made a screeching sound.
The small room was completely exposed, and they didn't even have the money to buy a lock.
The area, which was less than 15 square meters, was covered with yellow-brown stains and crumpled cardboard boxes scattered on the ground.
"Ahem, Xiaolin is back."
Xia Mingwei looked at her skinny son with eyes full of heartache. The ten-year-old child now looked almost like his seven-year-old sister.
Unfortunately, she encountered an accident when the radiation first arrived, and her legs could no longer walk.
The people in the underground city refused to accept her, so she could only survive on the insect cakes she was given every day.
"Xiaolin, you must be hungry. Mommy has some food here."
Xia Mingwei tremblingly spread out a piece of brown plastic bag wrapped in her palm, which was originally white.
The palm-sized paste was still covered with sticky liquid, which emitted a faint fishy smell.
"Mom, I brought a packed lunch today! We don't have to eat worm cakes anymore."
He carefully closed the lid, made sure no one was paying attention to their house, and took out the two lunch boxes that were wrapped in his arms.
Xia Mingwei's eyes were tinged with anger.
"Lin'an, did you agree to be the bait?"
The woman's voice sounded desperate.
Even mutants may not be able to eat such delicious food.
"No, Mom."
"Well, brother, you're back."
The girl lying on the cardboard box showed a tired face and greeted Jiang Linan.
She hadn't eaten for a day and had a piece of worm cake left in her hand for her brother.
She is still young and eats little, so she can leave a bite of food for her mother and brother.
I miss the meals my father used to cook, including baby octopus, eggs, and green cauliflower.
But she never liked to eat it before.
It seems to taste like cherry tomatoes?
Jiang Yuanyuan took a deep breath.
The girl pulled the flesh on her face hard.
It was a little painful. She wasn't dreaming. She really smelled it, the aroma of meat.
When she turned around, her mother's eyes were bloodshot, as if something big had happened to Lele.
"Mom, brother, what's wrong with you?"
His eyes fell on the rice exposed in Jiang Lin'an's hand, and he was shocked.
"Mom, I've already told you that I bought this with a first-level crystal core. Why don't you believe me?"
After saying that, Jiang Lin'an recounted everything that happened to him at the scene.
Pointing at the salted fish logo on the lunch box packaging, he vowed, "If you don't believe me, let my sister go out with me."
Looking at the iconic bighead carp on the bowl, Xia Mingwei took the delicious lunch box with a suspicious look.
"Mom, if you don't eat it, others will smell it and come here."
Only then did Xia Mingwei decide to start eating.
The family ate two boxed lunches and it felt like a full banquet.
Jiang Yuanyuan on the side still couldn't believe it. She actually got to eat the rice and tomatoes she had always dreamed of.
…
The other side.
Lin Yanan’s boxed lunches are still selling like hotcakes.
In just half an hour, everyone in the entire Yong'an Underground City more or less knew the news.
For a time, there were many different opinions.
Some people rushed to find this magical stall, while others were dismissive, thinking it was a rumor and not worth mentioning.
"Brother Lin, have you heard of that salted fish shop? They say a boxed lunch there only costs one crystal core."
There was still a hint of longing in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"That's just hearsay, try to fool the kids."
Lin Shen laughed sarcastically.
What kind of world is this? This rumor is too stupid.
"True. It's been a year since the apocalypse."
The old man lowered his head weakly, muttering to himself.
In any case, the reputation of the Salted Fish Shop has spread.
There was a long queue in front of the tricycles, with no end in sight.
The person involved, Lin Yanan, is extremely busy.
They kept taking out lunch boxes from the foam boxes. Shen Anzhi and others on the side did not forget to help. There were also patrols checking the order. Wang An was responsible for explaining to the customers in the front row how to use the exchanger.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the new customer mission. Unlimited stew pots will be unlocked tomorrow.]
She wiped the sweat from her temples, and her face brightened up a little.
At this rate, the special plastic bags will be available on the shelves soon so that customers can buy more.
"Boss Lin, I have a question I would like to ask you."
Shen Anzhi's eyes were dark and unclear.
Just now, he wanted to sell the food in his hands to the people under the Gu family at a high price.
However, as soon as the food reached the Gu family, it instantly turned into spoiled food infested with maggots.
Obviously, it was fine when it was in their hands.
How come in the blink of an eye...
"Captain Shen, are you talking about reselling at high prices?"
Lin Yanan didn't even raise her eyelids and continued to pile the lunch boxes on the foam box.
"I'm truly sorry, but we can't resell any food at the Salted Fish Hotel at a high price. If it's priced according to the list price, I promise there won't be any problems."
Shen Anzhi: “…”
What he said!
How come none of our own people are doing well? So that’s how it is.
Rubbing his eyebrows, he forced a smile.
It seems that Mr. Fu’s strategy is about to fail.
Midnight.
