All five of them hadn't showered in a long time, and Li Li could smell the odor on them.
He glanced at their clothes again and said directly, "Come with me to the third floor and find two rooms to take a shower. I'll go get you some clothes."
Qianqian, who had been silent all along, lit up when she heard that she could take a bath and asked, "Big sister, is the water still running?"
Li Li nodded and said proudly, "We have electricity and water here. Even if the gas runs out in the future, we can still use electricity to cook. It's much more comfortable than outside. The key is that it's also very safe here!"
Wu Ming and the others looked at each other, then their faces lit up with smiles.
These two points alone make this place a paradise in the apocalypse.
When they were hiding in that almost abandoned house, they could only cook porridge by going outside to get firewood while wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.
When the wind and rain were too strong and there was no firewood, they could only dismantle the unwanted furniture in the room and burn it as firewood.
And you can't cook too much, so the porridge is always half-cooked before you eat it.
Fortunately, there were two large ceramic jars in the kitchen filled with water.
Even though there were leeches crawling in the water, they didn't care.
They survived for almost a month on that water.
Wanting to take a bath? That's impossible.
After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, the five of them looked refreshed and chatted and laughed together.
When the five people arrived at the restaurant as arranged, they were dumbfounded when they saw the seven dishes and a large bowl of rice on the table.
Braised kelp with cured pork, steamed cured duck, pan-fried cured fish, stir-fried cured sausage with pickled radish, egg drop soup...
I haven't had a decent meal in a month, and for the past week or so, I've been surviving on thin porridge every day.
We've only just joined the resort, and we're already getting such a lavish meal?
Are you kidding me?
Wu Ming was the first to come to his senses. Pointing to the food, he asked Li Li, who was wiping other tables, "Big sister, is this for us?"
Li Li nodded and said, "There's one more dish. It's more auspicious to have eight dishes in total. Someone will bring it over later. It's your first time here, and Brother Jiang said you should have a good meal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Sun came over with a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts and placed it on the table.
He looked the five of them over carefully and said with a sigh, "You must have been starving for a long time, right? You five are really lucky to have joined our manor. Have a good rest after dinner tonight, and you'll have to start working tomorrow. There's so much to do at the manor."
After a pause, Fatty Sun said with a serious expression, "I'm reminding you all again, you must listen to your son-in-law. If I find out that any of you are disrespectful to your son-in-law and daughter behind their backs, I will give you a good beating!"
Li Li said, "Alright, Fatty, I've already told them. You go and move your things."
Fatty Sun nodded and looked at Li Li, saying, "I'll have to talk to my son-in-law about this another day. I'm only responsible for the food for my son-in-law and the others. You women can take care of the food for everyone else. I, a grown man, should do more important things!"
Upon hearing this, the chubby girl who was with Wu Ming, disregarding her nervousness, volunteered, "Big brother, I can cook too!"
Fatty Sun looked Fatty up and down, nodded and said, "Not bad, I'll teach you some cooking skills another day."
Li Li glared at Fatty Sun and said, "You fatso, if you dare to do anything reckless, I'll tell the son-in-law."
Sun the Fat Man waved his hands frantically, saying, "Lili, what nonsense are you thinking!"
Seeing Wu Ming and the others still standing dumbfounded in front of the dining table, hesitant to sit down and eat, Fatty Sun quickly changed the subject and shouted, "You guys hurry up and eat! After you finish eating, go and tidy up your own rooms!"
After saying that, he walked straight into the building, not daring to look at Li Li again.
Wu Ming and the others exchanged glances.
Guo Yong took the lead and sat down, then picked up a large piece of fatty meat from the cured pork and stuffed it into his mouth.
He chewed on the greasy fatty meat with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Before the apocalypse, he would just throw away this kind of fatty meat.
But now, it tastes so delicious.
With Guo Yong taking the lead, the others also took their seats.
Of the eight dishes, the meat dishes were the most popular.
The three girls kept piling meat, including fatty meat, onto their plates.
They hadn't eaten these things for over a month.
I eat cookies and drink porridge every day. For the past week or so, I can only drink two small bowls of thin porridge a day. What I dream about most is all kinds of meat.
I thought I would slowly starve to death, but I never expected that the road from hell to heaven would be so short.
In just a few hours, they not only had a place with electricity and water, but also enjoyed delicious food.
That's incredible.
While eating, fourteen-year-old Xiao Dan suddenly burst into tears.
Sitting next to her, Qianqian asked in confusion, "Xiaodan, why are you crying?"
Xiao Dan swallowed the fatty meat in her mouth and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister Qianqian, am I dreaming? How can things be so different all of a sudden?"
Upon hearing this, the other four people all froze in their tracks.
Qianqian and the slightly chubby girl's eyes also turned red.
Wu Ming gently patted the table and said seriously, "Eat well, go back and tidy up the house after you're full, and then get some rest. Tomorrow we'll work together for the resort. We can't just eat such good food and live in such a nice environment for nothing."
"Also, thank you, Brother Jiang!" Wu Ming added earnestly.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang!"
......
At 10 p.m., two rough gates with steel bars as supports and iron sheets as faces stood at the archway, blocking the more than five-meter-wide entrance.
There are gaps in the middle of each door to make it easier to see what's going on outside.
