"Would you like a bowl of instant noodles?"
There were three men coming, and judging from their clothes, they should be staff members of the base.
Several people were also looking at her.
The girl was very beautiful, with clean clothes and fair skin, which seemed unattainable to ordinary people in the apocalypse.
Several people sniffed hard. The smell of meat in the air was so precious that they could not get enough of it.
I don't know if the things she sells are expensive...
She placed the newly unlocked instant noodles and sausages on the partition extending from the front of the dining car. Instant noodles, which were considered junk food before the end of the world, were now a rare delicacy in the eyes of the three people.
Gao Sheng, who was in the lead, swallowed his saliva and wanted to eat the plump white steamed dumplings.
"Hello, how much are these?"
Several people looked at Xie Pu Rou expectantly, praying silently in their hearts that it wouldn't be too expensive, not too expensive.
If they can still afford it, they will definitely have a bowl. At most, they will have to eat insect cakes for another month.
It’s a good thing that someone asked about the price, Xie Purou smiled.
"Ten points for a bowl of instant noodles, and two points for a sausage. I'll even cook it for you. The dumplings and other items are priced. Take a look and see what you want to buy."
The girl's sweet voice sounded like heavenly music to the people who were short of water after the apocalypse. Everyone was hanging on to their last breath with only a bowl of water a day.
In other words, their situation is only slightly better than that of ordinary people because they have become staff members of the base.
Upon hearing this, the three of them exchanged glances quickly.
The dumplings are filled with meat! And the price is so low!
Three years after the apocalypse, the instant noodles produced before the apocalypse have long expired. Even if the expired instant noodles were still edible, they would have been destroyed by mutant creatures.
One year after the apocalypse, expired instant noodles could be sold for three first-level crystal cores, and they were still in short supply.
Gao Sheng took out a first-level crystal core and walked to the points redemption machine and placed the crystal core on it.
Xie Purou smiled brightly: "Do you want dumplings? Or any other flavor of instant noodles? Or a sausage? It's only two points!"
Gao Sheng was still in shock, and when he heard the question, he subconsciously said, "I want one fried dumpling and one spicy instant noodle with ham."
As soon as he finished speaking, the machine lit up again.
She started making her first batch of instant noodles.
Turn on the fire to boil water, put in the noodles, pour in the seasoning packet, add the ham sausage, and after boiling, pour the instant noodles from the small pot into the instant noodle paper bowl.
The aroma of instant noodles wafted through the air, and the gurgling sound of water boiling in the pot was as beautiful as the sound of nature.
"Your instant noodles are ready." She handed the noodles to Gao Sheng.
Gao Sheng was stunned by this series of normal operations before the end of the world. He couldn't believe that he just consumed a first-level crystal core and the instant noodles were in his hands?
Seeing that he hadn't taken any other action, Xie Purou took the initiative again: "The instant noodles are a bit salty. Do you want to buy a bottle of water? It's only one point a bottle."
"Can I buy a bottle for my companion?" Gao Sheng asked this question cautiously while still holding instant noodles in his hand.
"OK."
She had asked the system long before coming here, and she could only give it away voluntarily or resell it at the original price.
Why not restrict reselling? Her mission is to manage the market, not to monopolize it. Why not let everyone have access to drinking water?
"Three bottles, please."
He walked over to his companions with a bucket of instant noodles in one hand and three bottles of water in the other.
Zheng Jiao and Zhang Shan took the water from his hand, looked at the instant noodles in his hand and swallowed.
Before they could communicate, Xie Purou's voice came from the dining car.
"Would the other two guys like to have some instant noodles? They're reasonably priced and taste pretty good!"
Gao Sheng looked at the two of them and nodded. Then they walked over and placed a first-level crystal core on it, imitating him.
[Task 2: The dining car has received ten guests. The reward has been distributed to the lobby of the B&B.]
The two of them were equally confused when they walked over to Gao Sheng with instant noodles and dumplings and sat down.
Zhang Shan muttered, "How can it be so cheap? One level one crystal core can buy ten bowls of instant noodles. This was unthinkable ten minutes ago."
Zheng Jiao also asked, "Could there be something in the noodles?"
The two looked at Gao Sheng, wanting to discuss with him.
"Why did you eat it all?!" Aren't you afraid of danger?
"I ate it, it tasted great. I'm tired of living a hard life. How's the saying? It's better to die of fullness than of hunger."
After saying that, he didn't persuade the two of them to eat, but walked to the dining car on his own.
"Can I buy instant noodles and make them myself?"
"Yes, but we only accept voluntary resale of all products at the original price."
She didn't mention the consequences of the goods disappearing on their own if they were snatched away or resold at a marked-up price.
Thinking about the points he had left, Gao Sheng bought five buckets of instant noodles, ten sausages and three bottles of water.
Xie Purou packed the food in a plastic bag, which came with the food cart, and handed it to him: "Thank you for your patronage."
Gao Sheng took the things back to the dining table. There was no one around, so he put the bag of things on the seat next to him with confidence.
Seeing that the two of them hadn't opened the bottle of water yet, he grabbed it with his big hand and took it back.
"You guys can buy it yourself if you have points. I'll take this back."
Gao Sheng was in a good mood, with a cheerful smile on his face, looking a little honest.
The two of them didn't say anything. After all, water was only one point per bottle and they could afford it themselves, so they continued to drink their instant noodle soup with their heads down.
Zheng Jiao ordered steamed dumplings and Zhang Shan ordered fried dumplings.
The two of them took turns eating some, dipping the dumplings in soy sauce and vinegar, and finally soaking them in instant noodle soup.
Gao Sheng showed the two of them his bowl of sour soup dumplings, which he had finished drinking clean. "No instant noodle soup is as delicious as this bowl of sour soup dumplings. After I finish this bowl, my life is complete."
"I haven't had instant noodles in a while. Dumplings are still the best. No matter how delicious instant noodles are, they can't compare to dumplings with meat filling."
Xie Pu Rou's appearance interrupted the conversation between several people.
"This is a flyer for our B&B, you can take a look at it." She printed it out using the printer in the lobby when she came out in the morning.
The three of them took a flyer and looked at it together.
Grape B&B is a safe haven in the apocalypse! Plenty of food, water, and electricity are provided, and it's built to withstand natural disasters and zombies. Single rooms cost 30 points per day, 900 points per month!
Address: Suburban area of H City...
"Can this... be true?" Zhang Shan held the flyer, his eyes full of disbelief.
Gao Sheng disagreed: "Before we came here to eat our fill, didn't we still not believe that we could have enough to eat in the end times?"
"Only nine level one crystal cores are needed for accommodation in a month. If you work hard to kill more zombies, you only need a dozen level one crystal cores to solve the problem of food and clothing in a month."
Zheng Jiao's summary made the two people, who were already tempted, make a decision.
Gao Sheng lowered his head: "I've decided, I'm going."
