"If you want to eat it, just put it in. I'm here for the meat." Qiu Kan was eagerly waiting for the meat in the pot.
There are both meat and vegetables on the table in front of him. Now is the time to be picky. He has had enough of eating wild vegetables, so if he is picky, he will definitely choose meat.
Xie Pu Rou also loved meat, so she ignored him after hearing that. It was a shabu-shabu hotpot anyway, with spicy hotpot on both sides, so they could each eat on one side and not interfere with each other.
The two of them were eating with great concentration, enjoying the meal so much.
It is very comfortable to eat with someone who loves to eat as much as I do. The other person is also eating. Except for a few casual chats while waiting for the meat to be cooked, we spend most of the time eating.
"Can I order some more?" Qiu Kan finished eating all the meat in front of him before speaking.
"Just order what you want to eat, and order two servings of shrimp balls and two servings of beef rolls for me." Xie Purou finished the beef roll in her pot, and subconsciously raised her head to look at Qiu Kan while speaking.
"Pfft! Hahahahahahaha"
Qiu Kan, who was sitting opposite him, was no longer as serious as when they first met. His lips were swollen and red from the spiciness, like two kissing sausages hanging on his face.
But he still doesn't think he has anything wrong with himself. He still has an expressionless face and a sausage-like mouth, which is a stark contrast no matter how you look at it.
"How about we change the base of the pot? Let's give you a tomato pot or something non-spicy, depending on how spicy you like it."
Qiu Kan was not annoyed by her merciless "ridicule". He wiped his mouth with a calm appearance.
"No need to change the base of the pot. I'm just not used to spicy food. It will be fine in a while."
"But this is mildly spicy, didn't you order it?"
"Piaji", Qiu Kan's dignity was completely exposed by Xie Purou.
"Oh, that's because I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time." Qiu Kan remained calm, but in fact he was showing off his ice jelly.
The cool ice jelly relieved the burning sensation from the chili peppers. It was delivered to the table within minutes of placing the order.
He was also eating at the same table with the owner and taking advantage of her convenience, otherwise he would have to run out and look for drinks on the street.
The consequence of showing off meat without restraint is that both of them were full. The remaining ingredients were not wasted. Xie Purou packed them all after blanching them, sprinkled sesame paste in the takeaway box, put it in the space, and took it out to eat whenever she wanted.
In addition to wanting to treat important customers to a meal, another reason for going out for hot pot is to observe the recent conditions of the residents.
According to her observation, although there were many people queuing and many people on the streets, it was less than before.
After eating hot pot, when the two returned to Xie Purou's courtyard, she noticed why there were fewer people.
Looking out from the courtyard, there are many women and children planting plants around the B&B.
Most of them were still wearing their original clothes, which were dirty and torn. The clothes sold in the B&B were not expensive, but they could not afford them. It was obvious that they were living in financial difficulty.
There was an empty lot near the B&B, and there was nothing valuable that they could take back and redeem for points.
They don't have a car, so it's inconvenient even if they want to go farther.
Looking outside, she sighed and decided to build a car rental company first.
The water in the pot boiled, making a sound of water rolling over and hitting the teapot.
She came to her senses and poured a cup of tea for herself and Qiu Kan.
Qiu Kan took a sip, and his inner restlessness was relieved. Tea is indeed the best "drink" there is.
"This tea is good, is it for sale?"
"I'm not selling it, but if you like it I can give you some."
The tea was won by M80 when she went to draw a blind box. The homestay didn’t sell tea yet and it was quite expensive, so she hadn’t thought of selling it.
The two of them sat down to drink tea and chatted calmly, completely changing from the impetuousness of eating hot pot just now, and it seemed like a peaceful and tranquil time.
Qiu Kan took the initiative to start a conversation: "I asked someone to buy some seeds first. I plan to do some indoor planting."
"indoor?"
"Well, I have a lot of space anyway. And I don't know if there will be another natural disaster. It's safer to just grow them indoors."
Xie Pu Rou thought about it and realized that when she went to the Ninth Base, she just did "manual work" in the RV and didn't even take a close look at the Ninth Base.
Qiu Kan didn't respond until she said something. "I forgot you hadn't seen it. But next time you come to our base, I'll personally take you to see 'My Jiang Shan'."
"I'll have to be lucky to go there next time, but if it's on my way, I'll go." She said softly.
"Then what else do you want to buy from me?"
Qiu Kan drank another cup of tea and said slowly, "If I want to buy goods, I need a car to go back and forth. Would the owner like to sell me some more Teleportation Business Cards?"
She thought it was a big deal, rocking back and forth in her lazy chair, waving her hands dismissively: "That's no big deal, just go to the store and buy whatever you want."
"They're all sold out in the store." Qiu Kan complained in his heart. If they were still available, he wouldn't have the audacity to come to her and ask for them.
"All sold out?" Her expression faltered slightly, and she immediately asked M80 to verify.
[They are indeed sold out. Our B&B is packed with people right now. I don't know why they sold out the moment they listed it.]
What else could it be? I just want to buy more to save my life.
There must be some people who still have a deep obsession with going home, which has not subsided even after three years of the apocalypse. Buying a few more round-trip tickets with you is also a life-saving thing when traveling.
She understood everyone's thoughts very well. Ultimately, it was just her bad luck.
She lowered her eyes and said, "I know. I'll save it for you next time when we restock."
"It would be great if mine could also connect to the subway. It would be even better if it also had a planting machine and a points exchange device for scrap." Qiu Kan fantasized freely.
"Haven't you just been here for a short time? How come you know so much?" Xie Purou looked at him with a curious look.
"Don't you think about what I do?" Qiu Kan kept pouring himself tea, almost all of it gone into his stomach. "Isn't it basic to understand the terrain and gather basic intelligence in a short period of time?"
Faced with Qiu Kan's question, Xie Pu Rou thought about it and agreed, so she ignored it.
I am not from this world. If I don’t use the word mysterious to describe myself, then I am as transparent as air. I can’t find anything out no matter how hard I try.
"What else do you want to buy? Tell me all at once so I can see if I have it in stock."
Qiu Kan pursed his lips and said, "We need solar panels, fans, food, and water, but mainly solar panels."
"How much?"
"It's hard to say now. We have to wait until those space ability users return to the base. Then we can come back to purchase more and see how much we can fit."
The population base of the Ninth Base is huge, and it is not known whether one or two trips will be enough to install solar panels on everyone in the area.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later." Xie Purou stood up after sitting for a long time to digest her food, looked at him and asked, "Have you booked a room in the B&B?"
"Does the owner have any plans for me? Or any special care?"
