"That's fruit! It's been a long time since we last had fruit."
Each person's words gradually broke down Xiaoke's psychological defenses.
It was not until the mention of fruit that he woke up from his dream.
Yes, that is fruit. If you don’t even eat the fruit in front of you, then what’s the point of living?
Having made an important decision, Xiaoke's tone became much lighter, "Let's go!"
At worst, you can just see if there are any useless things on the plane and throw them all down to reduce weight.
If circumstances permit, Xiao Ke is really considering whether to buy a batch of candied haws and bring them back to the base.
Just like they said, none of the kids in the base had ever seen candied haws.
If you are younger, you may not even know what fruit is.
Many mutant plants are offensive, and fruits are rarely seen. I don’t know if they are taken away and eaten by animals or if they do not bear fruit. Anyway, he has rarely seen mutant plants that bear fruit in so many missions.
Even if I see the result of the mutant plant, I still don’t dare to eat it.
Xiaoke brought a group of people around. They were wearing the same black uniform that they wore for missions. At first glance, Xie Purou thought they looked like they were here to collect protection money.
She had worked as a small vendor in the black market in the 1970s, and the muscle memory she had formed almost made her want to pick up the table and run away.
[Host! Host! Open your eyes and look around. This is your world! You are invincible, kid! Why are you running?]
After the system's reminder, Xie Purou finally paid attention to the person coming. "Sao Rui, muscle memory."
The main reason is that they are too big and look like they are here to cause trouble.
Xie Pu Rou straightened her back and explained without further ado, "Well, I was numb from standing so much and wanted to stretch."
After saying that, I hated myself for having such a big mouth.
If it really doesn't work, just poison yourself and make yourself mute.
"Ms. Shopkeeper, can we buy in bulk?"
When I got closer, the candied haws seemed even smaller, and I should be able to take away a few thousand of them.
Xie Purou cleared her throat and became serious.
"Sure, when do you want it? We don't have that much right now. We'll pack it up for you once it's ready."
There are three types of candied haws skewers in total. The sugar-coated fruits are crystal clear and made small and exquisite by Xie Purou.
Not to mention children, even people who don’t like sweets would be greedy after seeing this.
"Two thousand tri-color fruit skewers, one thousand tangerines, and five hundred spicy noodles."
He ordered so much without even asking the price. Xie Purou likes straightforward people like him!
"I'll give it to you in two hours, but it's hot outside. If you, the space ability users, take out the candied haws, they'll melt quickly."
Out of humanitarianism and for the sake of long-term cooperation, Xie Pu Rou had to remind the other party more often.
"We know. Please try to save space when packing, Miss Shopkeeper."
Xie Purou nodded to show her understanding.
After making a reservation, everyone can choose the candied haws they want. Everyone bought a few strings and she had a lot of them.
Fortunately, I made a lot and still have a lot left.
After a few minutes, Ming Qinglu took the children downstairs. Each child had points allocated and could spend their own money to buy things.
Everyone was well behaved and didn't make any noise.
"Little Orange and Little Pear!" Huahua has good eyesight and can see the two sisters sitting in the crowd.
"Aunt Qinglu, can we go over and play with Xiaolizi?"
The eight children who were traveling with us all listened to Ming Qinglu very much. After spending a day together, they respected Ming Qinglu very much and would ask for her opinion before going out to play.
Ming Qinglu checked to see if everyone had a candied haws, and said, "Go ahead."
"Don't run with the candied haws! It's dangerous if you fall."
"I know." The child's voice fell and ran away.
Since they are of the same age, it is easy for them to play together.
Ming Qinglu turned away and looked at their backs with a smile on her face, "These kids."
"Shopkeeper, give me one of each."
Xie Pu Rou handed it over, but she didn't expect that she also liked it.
Perhaps her curious eyes were too intense, and Ming Qinglu explained the next second: "Before the apocalypse, my son always asked me to buy him some, but I didn't buy any for him because he had cavities. I wanted to try what his favorite food tasted like."
She took a bite, feeling the juice burst out, "It's really delicious. I wish I had bought it for him then."
Xie Pu Rou was silent, not knowing what to say.
Ming Qinglu took the gourd string in her hand and left.
She did not continue to be unhappy, but took the candied haws to the group of children, talked and laughed with them, or watched them play quietly.
Xie Purou admired her. She didn't know what she had been through, but anyone who could redeem themselves was amazing.
Before the helicopter sent by the central base took Xiaoke and the others away, Xie Purou delivered the goods.
"These candied haws were ordered by you. We'll see you later."
Whenever Xie Purou saw Xiaoke, he always had a faint smile on his face. Only when he saw delicious food would his expression change for a moment. "Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Shopkeeper."
"We'll meet again."
The people accompanying them were reluctant to leave and kept looking back at the Grape B&B.
Finally, they were seated firmly on the plane, and someone asked Xiaoke.
"A place like this is truly a paradise in the end times." Prices are low, and as long as ordinary people work hard, they can also have a way to survive. This has always been the goal of the Central Base.
"We will come again." Xiao Ke raised the teleportation card that he kept close to him.
The card, which was kept close to his body, carried his body temperature. Now it was the most important thing, as it determined whether the next transaction could be completed on the bus.
Traveling through mountains and rivers is a normal minor problem, but the various accidents on the road are the most troublesome.
"Do you feel that it's getting hotter since we left the B&B?"
"You know what? I was sweating as soon as I came out."
"I didn't think this weather was so difficult before."
In the end, everyone could only sigh that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
What they didn't know was that it was a good thing they walked fast, because if they had walked a little later, the extreme heat would have been disastrous.
The day after they arrived at the base, they had not yet had time to distribute the extremely hot supplies to other bases.
The extreme heat has finally arrived!
No one expected it to happen so soon.
Everyone will remember the scene of that day for the rest of their lives.
The sun did not set that day. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, mercilessly burning everything on the earth.
The entire earth seems to be a huge cage, and everyone is forced to face the sun directly. The scorching temperature makes it hard to breathe.
Even the floor was scorching hot from the sun. Every step I took felt hot even through the thin insoles. After a few more steps, I could smell the melting rubber on the soles of my shoes.
It was two days later that people realized that the extreme heat was accompanied by the polar day...
