After setting up the stall for a while, Xie Purou finally saw that familiar figure.
Yue Xiwen went to the dining car and stood guard as she did yesterday.
Xie Purou put down the things in her hands, said something to the people in line, and got off the bus to find Yue Xiwen.
"Xiwen, didn't you tell me yesterday that you wanted to buy water in bulk?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Yue Xiwen was a little nervous. Could it be that the manager didn't want to give it to her anymore?
"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that I can place vending machines that only sell water at the Blaze Base. You can go and ask the base for permission. If they agree..."
Before Xie Purou could finish her words, Yue Xiwen interrupted her in surprise.
Her eyes widened, and her hands unconsciously grasped her arms in excitement. Xie Purou was shorter than her, and the distance was too close, so she had to look up to meet her eyes.
"No need to apply! This is such a blessing!" Yue Xiwen remembered something and continued, "But how do I redeem points? Can I use crystal cores to redeem points at a vending machine?"
【Can.】
"Okay." Xie Pu Rou relayed.
Yue Xiwen was still a little embarrassed, "Do we need electricity?"
It's not that she's stingy. Electricity is only available in the office area in the entire base, and even her father, the base commander, uses candles at night.
"No, no electricity."
"Great!" Yue Xiwen was delighted. "I'm going to tell the higher-ups about this and have them decide on a location for the machine!"
Xie Purou thought about it and held her again.
"I may disappoint you..."
"It's not just one location, it's five! I can provide the base with five water vending machines. Anything sold at my B&B can be purchased through the machines."
"That's great! Our base will now have a drinking water problem! Don't worry, we won't waste water."
Xie Purou believed them. In this world, people who wasted water would bring disaster upon themselves even without her punishment.
"There's one more question. I'll tell you after you close the stall. I'm going to discuss the placement with the higher-ups right now."
Looking at the woman's graceful back as she left, he strode away with big strides and full of hope.
As if her suggestion could save the base.
After knowing each other for a short time, she had to admit that Yue Xiwen really cared about the lives of ordinary people.
If people like her could live longer, they would definitely give hope to ordinary people at the bottom of society who are struggling to survive.
Retracting her thoughts, she remembered that there was something very important that she had not said.
After staying at the Flame Base for two weeks, it’s time to leave for another base next week.
She really admires Yue Xiwen's character.
Fortunately, the B&B is close to the Flame Base, so she can come here often to purchase goods and meet him again.
"Little boss, business is getting better and better. Do you still remember me?"
Yu Baihan greeted her with a smile.
Xie Purou looked up at him. Her memory has always been pretty good.
"I remember you. You're the uncle I met on the second day of my stall, the one who reminded me of the dangers of the end times."
Yu Bai was just being polite. He didn't expect that Xie Pu Rou would still remember his name after receiving so many guests a day. He scratched his head embarrassedly.
"What do you want to eat this time?"
"I want three eggplants, one plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and three plates of mapo tofu. Thank you, boss."
"Okay, wait a minute." Xie Purou added some extra eggs to the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Yu Bai was flattered: "This..."
"What's wrong?" Xie Purou looked at him nonchalantly.
"No, it's okay. Thank you, boss. I wish you a prosperous business."
Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud. Wouldn't it make things difficult for the boss?
The rough man happily returned home with the food that Xie Pu Rou handed to him.
Now I can go home and have a good meal.
"You're back?" Ye Rong came forward and tried to help Yu Bai take the things from his hand.
"Honey, look what I brought back."
Yu Bai smiled and presented a plastic bag of supplies. The supplies were heavy in his hands, so he walked very slowly along the way.
He waited in line for a long time to buy it and carried it all the way back.
He went early and lined up before dawn.
Hard work pays off, he was in the front of the queue and queued up to buy water. After buying the water, it was still early, so he queued up to buy rice.
Thinking that the big bowl of white rice in his arms could feed his wife and children a full meal, he couldn't stop smiling, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"Dad." Yu Yuanyuan called Yu Bai obediently.
My daughter's little lips were so dry that they cracked and bled.
Everyone is like this in the last days.
Yu Bai felt so distressed when he saw his wife and daughter that he quickly put down the water in his hand.
"Dad brought back some water. Yuanyuan can drink it now."
As he spoke, he slowly put down the heavy object in his hand.
He just refused his wife's help because his hands were numb from carrying things all the way.
You can only remove it slowly, otherwise there is a risk of injuring your hands.
After slightly easing the numbness in his hands, he couldn't wait to open two bottles of water, handing one to his wife and giving the other to his daughter to drink.
Ye Rong was horrified, thinking her husband had done something bad. She couldn't believe the authenticity of the bottled water in front of her and didn't take it.
"Where does all this water come from?"
She had just seen him take down so many bottles of water!
"Honey, you drink first. Do you remember what was broadcast yesterday? It was the dining truck I brought back with supplies last week."
I bought a lot of water last time and have been saving it for our family of three. It’s not really possible to save it.
Yu Bai forcefully stuffed the water into his wife's hands and watched her drink half the bottle in one breath before he smiled with satisfaction.
"Keep drinking, honey. Don't save it. There's so much water."
"You mean, there will be no life in the future?"
"I want to discuss something with you."
Yu Yuanyuan is only five years old and is usually very sensible. Even the most sensible child will feel greedy when seeing food in the end times when there is a shortage of water and food.
She tugged at the corner of Yu Bai's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Dad, can I eat this?" Her little hand pointed at the rice in the bag, and she seemed to smell the starchy aroma of rice.
Three years after the apocalypse, she was only five years old. Rice was something she had never seen before. She only knew that the stuff in the bag smelled delicious.
Yu Bai slapped his head and said, "Look at me, I forgot about it. Come on, sit down and eat."
"Just now, the young boss made me scrambled eggs with tomatoes and gave me some extra eggs."
Ye Rong cleaned up the small dining table, which had not been used for a long time.
People have to go without meals, so if there is anything delicious, they just eat it with their hands. If there is something good, the whole family will share it, and there is no need to use the dining table at all.
"Dad, it smells so good."
She swallowed, the sweet aroma of rice spreading in the air was irresistible.
"Come and eat."
