Chapter 44: Shen Que, there is something wrong with instant noodles
“Shen Que, look, this instant noodle doesn’t even have a production date.”
After Meng Ci took the instant noodles, he felt that the portion was not right, so he looked at the basic information on it.
I found that the bag was no different from the instant noodles I usually eat, but there was no production date on it.
“This can’t be a three-no product.”
Shen Que looked carefully at the instant noodles in his hand, "Indeed, there is none."
"But this packaging bag is quite new, it doesn't look like something expired."
“And the name of the brand is correct.”
As he spoke, Shen Que opened the instant noodles bag, and there was not even a seasoning packet inside.
There was only a transparent plastic bag with about half a spoonful of salt in it.
“This can’t be a new product.”
Meng Ci also opened a pack of instant noodles. The contents were the same, except that the noodles were not pure wheat and were a little black in color.
Shen Que broke off a little and tasted it, "This seems to be a mixture of wheat and buckwheat."
With the bag of instant noodles in his hand, Meng Ci became even more certain that someone must have been reborn.
Because they knew the end of the world would take many years, they restricted food distribution from the beginning.
As for the instant noodle machine, I think it was made before the rainstorm, otherwise how could such a sophisticated machine be obtained so quickly.
It seems that he has to be more careful in the future and not let people find out that he is also reborn.
The only thing that made Meng Ci feel fortunate was that there was no electricity or internet now, so the news of his bulk purchases could not be spread.
As soon as the two men reached the 17th floor, they saw Zhang Mingtian waiting for them at the stairs.
"Hello, brothers."
"Is there something wrong?" Meng Ci asked.
Zhang Mingtian said: "It's not a big deal."
"I just heard that someone caused trouble for you last night, and I came to ask if you need our help to deal with it?"
"No, we can handle it ourselves." Meng Ci refused.
"By the way, you didn't give the food you found to those two!"
Zhang Mingtian shook his head and said, "No."
"And that man died this morning."
"I heard it was because of the high fever that wouldn't go away and the lack of any medication."
Meng Ci nodded. It was amazing that the man had been beaten so badly but he could still hold on for two days.
Zhang Mingtian saw the two of them going down to get food, so he asked, "Brother, do you have nothing to eat?"
"We just happen to be going out to find food today, so we'll bring you some more when we get there."
Meng Ci did not refuse, "Thank you very much."
After seeing Zhang Mingtian off, the two returned home.
Meng Ci really wanted to see whether Zhang Mingtian was hypocritical and whether he could be trusted.
So he released a bee to monitor the situation. It happened that the window of a bedroom was open, so Meng Ci controlled the bee to go in.
A girl in a sweatshirt was about to walk outside, and Meng Ci let a bee fall into her hat without her noticing.
"After we go out today, you guys stay in a room. No matter who comes, you are not allowed to open the door." Zhang Mingtian instructed.
There were a total of twelve people in Zhang Mingtian's group. Apart from Zhang Mingtian's mother who was in her sixties and his wife, the others were three families.
One family consists of a couple in their thirties, a ten-year-old boy, and another young person in their twenties who had recently gotten married.
The other was a couple with a father in his fifties and a six-year-old boy.
This time, it was the young men from four families who went out, leaving only two elderly people and a woman at home, as well as children, so they were naturally worried.
"Don't worry, we will stay in the house."
With their assurance, Zhang Mingtian felt relieved, and then while packing up, he said, "When you come back, you can bring more for 1705."
"I didn't find anything good last time I went out, so I just gave him a few packets of instant noodles. I felt really bad about it."
The man in his twenties was not happy.
"Why? We worked so hard to find these things, and now we have to share them with others!"
"If you have the ability, go find it yourself. What's the point of looking for someone else?"
Zhang Mingtian held the rubber boat in front of him and said, "You are the one who went out to find food. It was given to you by others."
The man was not convinced, "Even if he gave it to us, now that it's in our hands, we still have the final say."
"And the instant noodles I gave you before are enough."
"He Xian!" Zhang Mingtian called the young man's name.
“People should learn to repay kindness!”
"If it weren't for this rubber boat, you would have starved to death."
"Even if you have this rubber boat, if you don't have the skills, you will be drowned by the flood..."
“Bang!”
"Shut up."
Suddenly, a female voice sounded, as if she slapped He Xian in the face and sternly told him to shut up.
He Xian didn't speak this time.
Then there was the sound of doors opening and closing.
Although Meng Ci only heard the voices and didn't see the expressions of the people clearly, he thought that if he gave things to others for free, there would definitely be people who would be unhappy.
But if they give, you take it.
If they didn’t give it to him, Meng Ci wouldn’t have asked them for it.
Meng Ci found an opportunity and got the bees back.
Now that the outer wall has solidified, there is no need to worry about anyone overthrowing it.
The weather is getting colder and colder. If we don’t get the coal back, we’ll probably freeze to death.
So after dinner, Meng Ci went to Chen Que to discuss the coal matter.
The two people agreed, so everything was ready quickly.
After going downstairs, I met some more residents.
"Little brother, can you take me with you? I only want a little food, not more."
"I can do that too. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."
Someone saw Meng Ci and the others were about to go out and asked hurriedly.
Several people had been hungry for too long and became skinny.
Even if Meng Ci was willing to take him, he probably wouldn't be able to help much, so neither of them said anything.
Those people did not dare to move forward easily, after all, the long sword was placed on the windowsill.
