He's doing it again, using the same tactics he used before the apocalypse to get close to others.
I've said it countless times, this isn't the right time to get close to someone.
If you talk a few more words to a stranger and you don't know whether the other person is a good person or not, you will be eaten up sooner or later if you meet a bad person.
"Why does Auntie call me Little Grape?"
"I always say that I held you in my arms when you were little. You were so tiny then, as round and smooth as a grape."
Aunt Jiang covered up her embarrassment with a smile and talked nonsense without knowing what she was saying.
How could she know what other people's names were? She just saw a grape shape on the food cart and thought she had to force a connection between the girl and grapes.
"I'm sorry, my mother is just polite like that. She never hugged you."
Xie Pu Rou met the young man's apologetic look, but she didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Um...are you selling food here?"
He looked at the mother and son meaningfully, then looked away.
"Would you like something to eat?" She displayed the Bobo Chicken in front of them.
The dozen or so different kinds of skewers were so dazzling in the eyes of the few people that they were dazzled.
"These are very expensive, right?" Liu Bo felt his stomach growling with hunger just by looking at them.
Bobo Chicken is indeed a little more expensive than rice bowl, and I don’t know what their situation is like.
It should be that filling the stomach is more important than satisfying the appetite.
Adjusting to customer needs, Xie Purou recommended: "You can buy the rice with points next to it. It's cheaper than Bobo Chicken."
"What?! One crystal core can buy so much food?"
Her son told her the approximate price, and Aunt Jiang howled, which caught Xie Purou off guard and frightened her.
Who says being polite is useless? Stand up and watch her hit his size 42 in the face with her size 39 insole.
"Little Grape... tell me the truth, are these real?"
"If it's true, you'll know after you buy it and eat it."
"Anyway, you said it before, it's cheap, you won't get hurt or cheated."
Aunt Jiang couldn't hold back any longer. She didn't care whether it tasted good or not. As long as it was edible, she would not lose out by buying it.
She walked a little further away from the RV and untangled her hair.
She had her hair tied in a bun. When Xie Purou first met Aunt Jiang, she exclaimed that Aunt Jiang had more hair than she did.
As the bun was untied bit by bit, the auntie found a few things by rummaging through her hair...
It's like looking for dandruff in your hair...
Xie Pu Rou looked at her cart full of skewers and was glad that she hadn't been eating just now, otherwise she would not be able to finish it.
Auntie did the right thing. It is important to hide the crystal core well.
It's quite smart. He knew that no one would look through his hair, so hiding the crystal core inside wouldn't be conspicuous.
Aunt Jiang searched left and right but only found a dozen crystal cores. She took out two and exchanged them for points for Liu Bo.
Alas, the crystal cores are getting less and less. There are not many zombies in this kind of weather. I don’t know what they will do after they use up all the crystal cores.
"Auntie, do you live in this base?"
"Yeah, oh, don't mention it, this base commander is not a good person."
Xie Purou pricked up her ears and asked with interest, "What do you mean?"
"I heard a car came a couple of days ago and sold food. I don't know what happened to the base commander, but he got mad and left."
Liu Bo: "I heard from my brother that the base commander only wants to sell the supplies to people with special abilities, so civilians like us can forget about it. It's better to leave. I won't be able to eat them anyway, and it's best if no one else can get their hands on those supplies."
"I heard that a car like yours was also used to set up a stall at the base."
Xie Purou raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you guys go to watch the fun?"
"What's the point of watching? I don't have enough crystal cores to spend. I might as well go out and find a few more zombies with that time."
So that's why I didn't know the car was hers.
"Hey, that car isn't you, is it?"
There aren't many people who have supplies to sell in the end times, so it's easy to think of her.
"Auntie, please choose the dishes first. Aren't you hungry after talking for so long?"
In fact, only Aunt Jiang was talking to her. Liu Bo had been standing beside her wanting to eat something, and was just waiting for them to finish talking so that Xie Pu Rou could get it for him.
His hands were so dirty that he couldn't even afford to drink water, let alone wash his hands. He knew his own limitations and wouldn't put his dirty hands into the pile of clean food.
Even if he just touches the skewer and does not directly touch the food itself, the next person who buys the dirty skewer he touched will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Since there was no one else around except the mother and him, he was not in a hurry.
"Let my son choose. Let's continue our conversation. There's a rumor going around the base that it's really amazing. I heard the base commander is giving you a hard time."
Xie Purou smiled and said, "I don't want to get involved in the twists and turns of the base. It's much more comfortable to set up a stall outside!"
The base wanted to give priority to the people with special abilities and senior officials with the food she made, and to use her things as a favor, but she refused to agree.
"It's better not to get involved. You don't know the dirty things that happen in the base. It's better for us to stay out of it."
"My daughter, aren't you afraid that so many supplies will be stolen?" Aunt Jiang rolled her eyes.
She had a bold idea.
The next moment, what she said surprised Xie Purou and Liu Bo.
"What do you think of my son?"
"Mom! What did you say?!" Liu Bo's face turned red quickly, as if he couldn't breathe, and his face turned as red as a pig's heart.
Why is it the color of pig heart and not pig liver? Because she is not his little sweetheart, so she cannot turn into the color of pig liver.
"Just shut up. Mom is trying to earn you a good future."
Liu Bo: ???
Is living off a gigolo a good future?
Aunt Jiang continued, "My daughter, look at my son. He has arms and legs. He's a little skinny, but he'll definitely grow tall and strong if he's well-fed. You're setting up a stall by yourself, don't you need a helper?"
It turns out that this wasn't an introduction.
"Thank you, Auntie. I can handle it by myself."
Aunt Jiang was rejected and was about to say something when Liu Bo stopped her.
'Gurgle'
They had been chatting for too long, and Liu Bo's stomach growled, interrupting their conversation.
Women are really scary. They have been hungry for so long, but they still find the opportunity to chat with people even though food is right in front of them.
It seems that shopping is not enough to keep women alive, gossip is needed.
She took the paper tube that Xie Purou had put the skewers in and sat down next to her. "Mom, you must be hungry. Mommy will eat first."
"Thank you, may good people live a peaceful life."
Liu Bo: "I told you not to use internet slang!!! It's an old joke from three years ago, why can't you forget it?"
Aunt Jiang smiled simply, her mouth wide open, and she smiled at the sky for a full half minute.
"There's nothing new to say right now."
"Isn't it good to wish you peace?"
