"Damn it." Qin Wei cursed and ran to close the window in a hurry.
Fortunately, he tied it tightly, and only a small hole was opened, so the smell didn't spread out.
When I came back after closing the window, the smell of fried chicken had filled the entire closed room.
Qin Wei made sure one last time that the smell couldn't get out anywhere, quickly cleared the table, took the fried chicken from his brother's hand, and reverently opened the plastic bag containing the fried chicken.
He treated the plastic bag with such care, as if it were a precious gift tied with a bow.
I opened the plastic bag and then the paper box containing the fried chicken. After all this trouble, the paper box was not filled with water vapor. It was dry and only the fried chicken was lying quietly on it.
"This...how is it possible?!" Qin Wei was stunned.
He was prepared to eat fried chicken that wasn't very crispy, but when he opened it, it really gave him a big surprise.
The strong aroma prevented them from dwelling on this matter for too long. Now, the only thing in their minds was the most primitive hunger reaction.
There's no point in worrying about it, they would never imagine that it was the black technology provided by the system.
In Tongzi's words: [Don't let the packaging limit the deliciousness of the host's cooking.]
Qin Rui saw clearly that the bag contained fried chicken, and his face was filled with grief: "Brother, you actually did such a sneaky thing?!"
"Me? What did I do?" Qin Wei looked puzzled.
"Did you see that I was injured, so you brought the chickens from the farm back to me to feed me?" Qin Rui was moved and angry. How could his brother, such an upright man, bow down for a chicken?
He continued to lecture his brother, "Don't take chances! How many people work at the chicken farm? Even if we check everyone one by one, the base will find our home sooner or later."
Qin Wei was stunned.
If he didn't say anything, his own brother would accuse him of stealing chickens. He was really speechless, wondering if his brother had been bored staying at home.
"No, can you expect me to do something? I've already said that I won't let myself down by selling you, so why would I steal a chicken?"
Qin Rui persisted: "Then where did this chicken come from?"
Qin Wei had already put on gloves, but his brother didn't let him touch it and insisted that he explain himself first.
He had no choice but to hold back his saliva and tell the whole story from beginning to end.
After finishing his words, his mouth was dry and he said angrily, "Do you believe it now? Besides, even if I stole the chicken, what about the Coke? I can't have produced it myself, right?"
With a crisp "click", Qin Wei opened the Coke.
He drank a big gulp of the bubbling ice cola.
If he hadn't controlled himself, he would have really wanted to drink the whole can of Coke in one breath.
Qin Rui felt a little disappointed after hearing the explanation. He thought his brother had really done that for him. He muttered, "I thought, if you really stole the chicken, you should have made me some chicken soup. Fried chicken is not good for nourishing me."
Qin Wei cursed: "Do you want to eat it or not? If not, I'll fork you out."
"Eat, eat, eat! I'll eat! So are all these three cans of Coke mine?"
"You wish. I bought this. I want to drink four cans."
While the two were arguing, Qin Rui also started eating. They only opened one set meal and tacitly chose to put the other one aside.
Anyway, the weather is hot, and when I want to eat it later, I can just put it on the windowsill to dry in the sun and heat it up.
The base managers were the ones who ate fried chicken earlier than the rest of the people. Unlike Qin Wei, who were on temporary leave and didn't have to go to work, they worked harder and had a lot of things to do after the reconstruction.
Xie Purou opened a special back door for them and chose a place that was far away from people but convenient to build a special "staff canteen" for them.
Just like at the food court stalls, as long as they place an order, the robots will prepare food for them.
Employees are paid a salary, and the base paid them a salary every month before she came, so the price for employees to buy fried chicken was not discounted.
I bought them all with my own money, it’s just that I have one more channel to buy them than the survivors.
I don’t know how many people were notified that afternoon, and queues formed one after another.
Fortunately, Xie Pu Rou was quick and the robot employees were also very efficient. They packed the fried chickens one by one after another.
The speed at which they serve food is proportional to the speed at which customers come to buy, so it is not too slow.
When Xie Purou was tired and didn't want to move anymore, she asked Bao Bao to put the packed items directly on the food cart, and the team lined up according to the items they wanted to buy and paid with points.
There is no petty theft and no dine-and-dine-for-free.
Maybe everyone thinks that food is hard to come by, and it is good enough to be able to buy something to eat. There is no need to offend the base just to save a few dollars.
They will even supervise each other so that they can buy something too. When one person lines up to buy something, there will be countless people queuing behind him watching. Under such supervision, even if someone has the intention to steal something, they dare not really steal it.
The current base is different from the usual base. Normally, if you are expelled from the base, the most you can do is move to another base.
Le'an has been taken over by the store owner now. Only a fool would want to confront the base head-on at this time.
If I were really kicked out, where would I buy good, cheap food? Where would I even want to live in a new house? And what about fried chicken and Coke? I wouldn't even dream of such delicious fried chicken.
As more and more people buy fried chicken, they no longer hide it. Many people eat it on the way home after buying it. If everyone has it, they don’t have to worry about others coveting it.
There are also people who do not have the ability to earn crystal cores and are waiting for the base to provide them with food.
They all live in the lowest level of the slums, and sleep anywhere they can find a place to lie down. They are poorer than the poor.
It would be fine if the person was sick and had no way to get help, but unfortunately these people are not like that.
They are not sick or missing any limbs, they are just lazy.
Those who were plagued by illness died early. In an era where life was worthless, they simply could not survive.
The entire Le'an base was filled with the smell of fried chicken that day, and the staff at the base ate to their heart's content before stopping.
The lazy and cunning people were so greedy that they waited anxiously for the base to rescue them. They even gathered together and discussed when the base would send them food.
After the apocalypse, there were too many human casualties and too few newborns. The central base had a regulation that no base was allowed to disregard life.
This is a very weak rule. It can only restrain upright people like Zhou Zhengping. He will really give the survivors a bite to eat and keep them alive.
Even though the food they gave me was the most disgusting and low-grade cockroach cake, it was still edible.
That group of people had been spoiled for a long time and thought that everyone would have fried chicken today.
