Chapter 4: Juicy Steamed Dumplings



"How many crystal cores are needed to eat one serving of dumplings? I'll go first."

The selling prices are all set by the system, Xie Pu Rou said without hesitation.

"One level one crystal core can be exchanged for 100 points. 20 points buys a serving of dumplings, and a serving contains 30 dumplings. Steamed dumplings can be eaten right away, but fried dumplings require me to light the stove and cook them."

Young Master Duo? One level one crystal core can buy five servings of dumplings?!

After hearing the price and looking at the girl again, it seemed as if she was shining with angelic light all over her body.

Qian Wushuang had prepared at least twenty crystal cores for a serving of dumplings from the beginning. Now, whether it was water, food, or seasonings, they were all very scarce, and the pricing was strange.

She took a step forward and calmly protected Chu Ling behind her.

"I'm the captain of our team. May I ask what kind of meat we sell..." She didn't continue. Considering the current context, the meaning of her words was self-evident.

Of course she knew it was rude to ask that...but...

"Of course it's real pork and beef. I just ate a plate of it."

Xie Pu Rou was not angry about her question. The end of the world was dangerous, so it was normal to be cautious.

"Captain, don't worry about what kind of meat it is. Just take a bite and you'll know. I'll go first."

Chu Ling ran to the dining car and asked, "Miss, how do I exchange points?"

"Put the crystal core here and it will automatically be converted into points."

Without saying a word, Chu Ling took out a crystal core and placed it on the machine.

A light flashed around the machine, and as the crystal core disappeared, a prompt lit up on the machine panel:

[Chu Ling, female, second-level healing ability user, this recharge points is 100.]

Then the screen went dark.

Xie Pu Rou remained calm and thought to herself that selling dumplings in the apocalypse was indeed too weird. What if it was some strange meat that could be cured by the healing ability?

But what if it's...meat? It can be cured, but it's disgusting.

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Xie Purou put on a polite smile and asked, "What kind of filling do you want for the dumplings?"

"Let's start with four steamed dumplings, two with pork and two with beef."

As soon as she finished speaking, a light screen appeared in front of her, as if in a game, which only she could see.

[This consumption is 80 points. Do you want to confirm the payment? ]

Before she could ask, Xie Purou explained, "Only you can see the notification message and your personal account. No one else can see it. Don't worry, it won't affect you in any way."

Chu Ling suppressed her shock and silently confirmed it in her heart.

Another prompt popped up in front of me: [Grape Dining Car purchase successful, this purchase points: 80, points balance: 20.]

Xie Purou complained to the system: "There's no card or anything? We had it before!"

[Host, wake up! This is the end of the world! Who would carry a card with them when they go out without spatial abilities?!] Isn't the purpose of technological advancement to facilitate convenience? I really don't understand humans...

Yes, you can directly exchange crystal cores for points, so isn’t it redundant to make a card?

The other two looked confused when they were communicating, but she didn't care and let Chu Ling explain.

The long-lost aroma of dumplings kept drilling into the nose. Everyone present, except Xie Pu Rou, felt their stomachs uncomfortable because they had not eaten for a long time and smelled the long-lost smell of food.

Since the end of the world, people no longer dare to satisfy their appetites. When they are hungry, many people will be so hungry that they will pull grass from the ground to eat.

It's just a bite. If it's not real meat, he won't eat it. But I have healing abilities, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Chu Ling comforted herself, the three of them had the same idea.

Even someone as calm as Qian Wushuang couldn't control himself when faced with the aroma of dumplings blessed by cooking skills.

They stood in front of the dining car, looking at the mineral water that was prominently displayed on the dining car with full of desire.

"Is this water... also for sale?"

"For sale, all these things are for sale." Xie Pu Rou pulled out her hand and pointed at the things she had neatly stacked on the dining cart.

I get annoyed when I see those things!

She got angry when she thought about how she had to spend so much points to get such a waste.

"One point for a bottle of water, and other daily necessities are five points."

!!!

This girl might be the daughter of some base who came out to experience life?

Water, the source of life.

Xie Purou also expressed doubts about the pricing of water.

"System, shouldn't water be very precious in the apocalypse? We only sell it for one point?"

Our mission is not just to earn points, but to rescue as many survivors as possible.

The system sets a price for water such that even an ordinary person without special abilities can buy a hundred bottles of water by killing a level one zombie.

She is not a saint, but she is not indifferent to life either.

No matter what price the system gives, she is just contributing to this cold and indifferent apocalypse.

Out of caution, Zhuo Xing stepped forward and exchanged the crystal core for 100 points.

[Zhuo Xing, male, second-level fire-type psychic, this recharge points: 100.]

For now, I only took three bottles of water and one of each other daily necessities.

Since Chu Ling had explained it to them, he wasn't too surprised when he paid the bill.

Seeing Qian Wushuang's face was not very good, Xie Pu Rou said sympathetically: "You guys sit down first, I'll bring the dumplings over later."

Hearing this, the three of them found a table and sat down.

Xie Purou quickly picked up four dumplings and put them on a plate.

He walked slowly and brought the dumplings to the only occupied table in front of the dining car.

The three of them tensed up, feeling both excited and conflicted.

The dumplings with thin skin and full fillings are crystal clear after steaming, and you can see the soup in the filling through the thin layer of skin.

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Ling couldn't help it and pretended to be a hero.

"Brothers and sisters, I have healing abilities, I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

Then he picked up a beef dumpling with great dignity, put the whole dumpling into his mouth, and gently bit it, but was scalded by the flowing gravy.

She opened her mouth: "Shashasha, it's hot."

"Why don't you spit it out quickly? You are so silly. It's just out of the oven." Qian Wushuang couldn't do anything about her careless nature. He picked up the disposable bowl and handed it to her mouth, motioning her to spit it out.

How could Chu Ling bear to vomit!

The flavors of leeks and beef blend well together, and the soup is mixed with the special flavor of leeks.

The meat filling slides lightly onto the tongue, carrying with it the delicious gravy, and even the dough seems incredibly sweet.

We’ve heard of soup dumplings and steamed dumplings bursting with juice, but who would have thought that the steamed dumplings in our mouths would also do the same!

The delicate minced meat and full of juice filled her mouth.

"No, no."

She was savoring the long-lost taste of meat, but the two men were staring at her intently.

After waiting for her to swallow it, Qian Wushuang asked with concern: "How is it?"
