Chapter 168 Meeting Uncle
The stall reopened and business was brisk as usual.
More than 30 packs of meat paste worth 20 grams of gold were sold at once, and more than a pound of gold ingots had already gone into Yu Duoduo's pocket.
It was as if what happened just now never happened, and no one mentioned it again.
At lunch, Yu Duoduo took out a small charcoal stove and a soup pot to cook noodles.
As the owner of a food business, of course you have to showcase the deliciousness of your products to the best of your ability!
From melting the ice, to putting it in boiling water, to adding the meat sauce, and finally taking out a small bag of dried vegetables from the bag, the aroma could be smelled from ten meters away.
It quickly attracted a wave of people who wanted to eat meat, and they bought 10 packs in one go!
There were still 4 packets of meat sauce left. Yu Duoduo was too lazy to shout. She just shoveled noodles into her mouth seriously. This was the best promotion.
The dried vegetables that Yu Duoduo added to the pot were freshly dried in the past two days and were all newly planted.
Carrots, spinach, cucumber and other ingredients are mixed and packaged in small bags. They are convenient to eat and ensure a balance of vitamins and nutrients.
The sharp-eyed stall owner nearby saw it, came up and asked Yu Duoduo in a low voice where she got the vegetable packets, as she hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time!
"My family stockpiled some food before the disaster, so there's still some left, barely enough for us to eat." Yu Duoduo said without hesitation.
The stall owner asked: "Can this be exchanged?"
Yu Duoduo liked to hear this. It was not a moral kidnapping, but an active exchange. After all, in the end times, everyone’s supplies are treasures. Why should he help others when they don’t have any?
"Of course! The same price as meat sauce, can you accept it?" Yu Duoduo said with a slight smile on his face.
It's not that she has to raise the price, it's just that all kinds of supplies are in short supply now, and vegetables are really precious no matter where they are placed.
Even the rich people in the mountaintop manor who can eat high-end meat may not be able to eat fresh vegetables every day. These vegetables are too difficult to preserve, not to mention that it is extremely cold in the end times where no grass grows.
Sold cheaply and not suitable!
"Um... I don't have gold, can I exchange it for this?" The stall owner next to him took out a watch from his clothes, with a circle of diamonds inlaid on the dial.
When I was buying luxury goods in the mall before, after the watches entered the space, they were swallowed up one by one, which shows that the space likes this thing.
Yu Duoduo didn't say anything. He just reached into his bag, took out a small bag of dried vegetables, handed it over, and took the watch with his other hand.
After the transaction, Yu Duoduo sat back at the stall, picked up her bowl of noodles and continued eating.
Suddenly, two customers came to the stall, one tall and one short, both very thin.
Before Duoduo could even open her mouth to greet him, the tall man blurted out, "Are you Xie Yun? Then you are... Duoduo!"
A familiar male voice sounded above Yu Duoduo's head. She paused holding the chopsticks. This is... uncle!
Yu Duoduo looked up, but didn't speak immediately. He was not in a hurry to recognize his relatives, but just looked at his uncle.
My uncle's hair was longer than his ears, probably because he didn't cut it to keep warm after the extreme cold.
He wrapped himself up like a Christmas tree, with no idea how many layers of long and short sleeves he had on, and three scarves alone.
But I couldn't find a decent winter coat. I guess the thickest one was the one I wore outside. The zipper was broken, and the black cotton jacket tied with shoelaces was still covered with a lot of old dirt.
In comparison, my cousin is much warmer.
His originally thin body was unexpectedly covered with three layers of oversized down jackets on top of his own down jacket.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the uncle had given all his thick clothes to his favorite son.
Father's love is really as strong as a mountain. No matter what time it was, Yu Duoduo had never felt the slightest bit of love from her uncle.
In the previous life, the uncle, out of concern for his own children, forced Yu Duoduo to go out and do business, without caring at all that she was a weak girl. Fortunately, the government provided heating, otherwise there would be no future events.
Uncle Yu Duoduo was silent, so he got anxious and leaned closer to him. “Duoduo, I’m your uncle! It’s only been a few months, why don’t you recognize me?”
"It's my uncle. I haven't seen you for a long time. You've become so thin. I didn't recognize you just now!" Yu Duoduo said deliberately.
Even if they turned into ashes, she would still be able to recognize her uncle's family.
Uncle carefully greeted Xie Yun who was sitting next to him. He was still a little afraid of Duoduo's childhood sweetheart.
The fear came from a time when he abused Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun came to his house and beat him up.
It was the first time he knew that a boy who looked so gentle could be so cruel when hitting someone!
He even called the police, but he didn't expect the Xie family's connections were so strong. When he went to the police station, the chief personally received him, and in the end, he was the one who was arrested...
Imprisoned for 7 days for abusing a minor!
The uncle felt aggrieved whenever he thought about the past, so he had always been against Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun's relationship. Their whole family didn't like Xie Yun very much, and under the subtle influence, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun gradually drifted apart.
Fortunately, she later fell in love with a scumbag man, and he felt relieved. At least their family would no longer be threatened!
Seeing that Yu Duoduo acknowledged him as a relative, the uncle felt much more at ease. He pulled his son and sat on the mat that Xie Yun had laid.
"Hehe~ This mat is quite warm to sit on, no wonder you don't want a stool!" Uncle reached out and pressed on the waterproof mat.
The cousin's stomach growled twice at the right moment. From the beginning, the two men's eyes never left the pot where Yu Duoduo was cooking noodles!
My uncle coughed twice and said, "Duoduo, how dare you cook noodles in a place with so many people? What if someone misses you?"
"What are you afraid of? We are under the official noses. There are patrolmen and administrators, each holding a gun. We may be worried, but who dares to take action?" Yu Duoduo said.
My uncle laughed dryly and said, "Yeah, well, what are you eating? Why is it this color?
Did they add soy sauce? It’s so dark, and it must be very salty!
You know I’m the best cook. I used to cook lunch and dinner at home. Let me help you try how it tastes!"
As my uncle spoke, he unceremoniously picked up the large soup spoon that Yu Duoduo had placed in the pot, scooped up a big mouthful of noodle soup, and poured it into his mouth.
Yu Duoduo did not stop her. The only thing left in the pot was the leftover soup that she and Xie Yun had eaten, and the noodles had all been scooped into bowls.
But even if it was just leftover soup, it was cooked with a whole bag of meat sauce, so it could be considered a pot of broth, and the aroma was really tempting.
My uncle drank several mouthfuls in succession, and his expression looked like a starving ghost who was intoxicated by the drink and couldn't stop at all.
The cousin, who was standing by staring helplessly, pulled his father's sleeve harder and harder. It was not because he disliked the father's behavior and wanted him to stop, but because he wanted his father to leave a few bites for him, as he was about to faint from hunger!
