202 The Tenth Store
◎ "Your short legs can't even step on the pedals, right?"◎
Before Lu Yao could respond, Harold spoke first.
"Even errand runners have to ride bikes, and you can't step on the pedals with your short legs."
Tang Anqi and others, Li Mi, Xia Huaisong, and Zheng Han and his sister all looked over in surprise.
Is this the point? Won't the child cry?
Bu Du looked at the small electric car that Lu Yao had just parked on the side of the road, and then looked down at his short legs: "Can't we ask a craftsman to modify it into a child's car?"
The neighbors looked down at Bu Du again. The child was so calm that he was actually thinking seriously about a solution.
Lu Yao: "Let's talk about this problem when we get home. It's time to get off work today."
The neighbors realized belatedly that it was indeed getting late.
Normally they wouldn't dare go out at this time, but there didn't seem to be any zombies wandering around the main street of Guanyin Road at night recently.
Zheng Han brought Zheng Xinxin back to their residence, pulled down the roller shutter, and didn't go upstairs. Instead, they laid a layer of cardboard boxes on the first floor, preparing to spend the night there and get up tomorrow morning to clean up the upstairs.
The siblings brought the supplies they found from the supermarket, including rice, noodles, and mineral water. If they were to save them, they would be able to last for a week to ten days.
However, rice and noodles are raw food and need to be cooked in a stove and fire.
The siblings didn't have these items at their residence for the time being, so they made do with a meal of soda biscuits with mineral water.
Zheng Han has already agreed with Tang Anqi's team to go together to look for supplies tomorrow. Their goal is to find gas stoves, solid fuels, and kitchen utensils that are convenient for outdoor use.
Zheng Han remembered his mother's last warning - don't trust anyone.
But he has to feed himself and his sister, so the best survival strategy at this stage is to team up with others.
Li Mi and Xia Huaisong also returned to their residence first.
They came relatively late, and the door was not replaced. At night, they found wooden boards and cardboard to block the door. They could only make do with it for one night and make plans in the morning. Lu
Yao went back to the store first, and came out a few minutes later with two large black plastic bags and knocked on Tang Anqi's door.
Because they helped Zheng Han and his sister find materials to replace the door in the afternoon, Jiang Yifei's family only replaced the door and did not have time to clean up. The four college students decided to squeeze together for another night.
Lu Yao handed the things to Tang Anqi, and seeing Jiang Yifei was there, he handed over another bag.
"Since they are all here, I don't have to go to the next door again."
Tang Anqi almost dropped the bag with one hand and said in surprise: "What is it? Why is it so heavy?"
Lu Yao: "Last time you helped distribute flyers in Ping'an Community, I agreed to give you a box of supplies as a reward. Now you guys changed houses and became neighbors, so I picked up an extra box of things. Most of them are food. Considering that it is inconvenient for you to cook, there are some cooked foods. The packaging boxes are made of special insulation material. As long as they are not torn, they will keep warm and fresh. But the shelf life is not long, only seven days, remember not to keep it for too long."
When Tang Anqi and the other three first came to Guanyin Road, they took precious snacks and drinks as souvenirs and went to the store to see Lu Yao.
At that time, Lu Yao wanted to give a generous return gift. Before leaving this morning, he saw that their residence was almost packed, so he gave Xiao Ji a written list and asked her to prepare it.
After delivering the supplies, Lu Yao did not stay for long, and not only waited for her in the store.
Song Xu and Zhou Mingyang worked together to pull down the roller shutter and lock it. Tang Anqi and Jiang Yifei ran up and down twice before carrying the boxes of supplies given by Lu Yao upstairs.
The four of them returned to the attic together, drew the curtains, lit two candles luxuriously, sat down, and prepared to unpack and take a look.
It was no wonder that they were impatient. Lu Yao said that there were cooked foods in the boxes, and the packaging boxes alone could keep them warm and fresh for seven days. They were really curious.
Inside the black plastic bag were three stacked cowhide cartons. The outer packaging of the two supplies was exactly the same, and the cartons were labeled with classifications.
The bottom box was labeled "daily necessities," the second box was "ingredients and snacks," and the top box was labeled "prepared food."
Song Xu and Zhou Mingxiang stared at the two prepared food cartons. Tang Anqi opened the bottom daily necessities box, and Jiang Yifei opened another box of ingredients and snacks.
Tang Anqi glanced at Song Xu, who was eager to try, and warned, "Look at them one by one!"
Tang Anqi had a small problem. She usually liked to save the best food for last, and now she also liked to save the box she was most interested in for last, and she wanted everyone to look at it together.
Song Xu glanced at the carton in front of Tang Anqi, reached out and took out a small flashlight, turned on the switch, and the bright white light instantly filled the entire room. Tang
Anqi raised her hands to cover her eyes and turned to avoid the glaring light: "Oh my god, it's too bright."
Song Xu held up the flashlight and looked at it for a while, then raised his head: "This is a solar panel flashlight."
Zhou Mingyang took out a vacuum-packed package of sweet sausages from the cardboard box in front of Jiang Yifei. There were ten of them, four slices of original steak, each weighing half a pound. There was a label on the packaging bag - special packaging, just store at room temperature, shelf life is 60 days.
The production date was printed at the bottom of the label, written in the common language and calendar of the Kingdom of Gold, and the date was today.
The steak was packaged with a seasoning, a whole unpeeled garlic, pepper salt, a 20-gram block of butter and a bunch of incense.
Jiang Yifei couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "Such a fresh steak, and it's original cut. What's the origin of this errand shop?"
Tang Anqi: "Song Xu and I first met Lu Yao near Jinzhu Street. We were trapped on the top floor of a department store and asked her for help. We promised to give her the supplies we found as a reward."
Song Xu: "She refused at the time, saying that she didn't lack supplies, and even gave us two business cards. We had such a big bag of supplies, all good things that could be used and eaten, but she was not tempted at all. I thought how big it must be. Later, we got to know each other. The errand runners in the store are so amazing, and the zombies are waiting to be harvested like potatoes. I gradually understand that they really have no shortage of supplies, or rather, they have no shortage of the ability to obtain supplies. Now it seems that the background of the errand shop may be deeper than we can imagine. "
In the cardboard box in front of Tang Anqi, there are also indoor desk lamps with solar panels, solid fuel, practical small scissors, folding spring knives, alcohol wet wipes, and even a mini non-stick pan that can be used to fry steaks and fried eggs, and a small medicine box.
In addition to steak and sausage, the box that Jiang Yifei opened also contained jam sandwiches, toast, condensed milk, canned luncheon meat, canned tuna, biscuits, and even a few apples.
Zhou Mingyang: "Apples are a fruit that can be stored for a long time, but these apples look very fresh, they must have been picked not long ago."
Jiang Yifei looked at the production dates of the sandwiches and toast slices and couldn't hide her shock: "The bread was just produced at noon, and the shelf life is 60 days. This is too exaggerated!"
The four people looked at each other with different expressions, unable to express the shock in their hearts with simple words.
On the one hand, the errand shop has no shortage of supplies, and Lu Yao dared to give them these supplies so blatantly, which means that he was not worried at all that they would find out about these inside stories and do something bad to the store.
This is a kind of ease with absolute confidence.
The small attic fell into silence. After several minutes, Tang Anqi suddenly said, "Take a quick look at the cooked food box. I can't imagine what amazing things are in there!"
Tang Anqi and Jiang Yifei carefully put away the things they had just taken out of the cardboard box. Song Xu and Zhou Mingyang each took out a cooked food box from behind and prepared to open them.
Jiang Yifei guessed, "It might be similar to takeout."
Song Xu: "If it's really like what Lu Yao said, it can keep the food warm and fresh for seven days, then it's amazing!"
The packaging in the two boxes was the same, each box contained fourteen rectangular lunch boxes of unknown materials and the same size.
There were also labels on the lids, with different dishes written on them.
Shredded pork with fish flavor, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, tomato meatball soup, rice, radish and pickled vegetables, these are the notes on a lunch box.
The labels on each lunch box are different, with meatballs in vinegar, dry pot spareribs, braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, roast duck, barbecued pork... There are even beef sandwiches, cream mushroom seafood pasta, hot pot stickers, pan-fried dumplings, roasted wheat, beef pancakes...
Tang Anqi: "Because there are two of us, the shelf life of this lunch box is exactly seven days, so each box has fourteen boxes, one box per person per day, just enough for us to eat for seven days."
Song Xu took out the braised pork lunch set from a pile of lunch boxes: "Open one and see?"
Zhou Mingyang and Jiang Yifei on the opposite side couldn't help swallowing.
They had stockpiled a lot of supplies and saved on food and drink, so they didn't go hungry every day, but their living standards were definitely not as good as before the zombie virus broke out. They
usually ate whatever they had, and most of the time they ate dry food with cold water. There wasn't much cooked food, let alone boxed lunches with such a rich variety of dishes.
Even if they occasionally had a cooked meal, the most luxurious situation was that two people shared a ham sausage, each person had a spoonful of chili sauce, mixed with a spoonful of white rice, or two people shared a pack of instant noodles.
These were all extremely luxurious configurations.
Tang Anqi held Song Xu down and looked at Jiang Yifei and Zhou Mingyang: "Do you want to open a box?"
Jiang Yifei was a little hesitant. After all, if it was opened, it might not be fresh, and it would be a waste if it couldn't be eaten.
With the food intake of four people, they could definitely finish two boxes of lunch, but Jiang Yifei felt that this was too extravagant.
Zhou Mingyang pulled out a box of beef sandwiches with pasta: "Let's open this box and taste it later. The weather is not hot, so the sandwiches should be fine if left overnight. They can be used as breakfast tomorrow morning."
Song Xu couldn't wait any longer. He twisted the corners of the box with his fingers and tore it open. The salty aroma mixed with spices immediately poured out from the small triangular gap, and several people swallowed hard at the same time.
The outside of the lunch box felt cold to the touch and there was no warmth at all. When I opened the lid, a trace of hot steam came out, revealing large chunks of oily braised fatty meat alternately fat and thin. The fat and thick sauce were coated on the skin of the meat, and the aroma was fragrant.
The box comes with cutlery, including chopsticks and spoons.
Song Xu picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and fed it to Tang Anqi.
The meat was already stewed until it was soft and sticky. When the teeth rolled over it lightly, it melted between the lips and teeth like butter, with a slightly sweet taste in the salty fragrance.
Tang Anqi's eyes lit up: "It's delicious!"
The boxed lunch in the snack bar was of course delicious, not to mention that the four of them hadn't eaten a normal meal for a long time.
After feeding Tang Anqi a bite, Song Xu immediately threw a piece of meat into his mouth, chewing it until tears came out: "It's delicious! It's really hot, it must be perfect with rice!" Zhou
Mingyang snatched the chopsticks from Song Xu's hand, switched to the other side, quickly picked up a piece and fed it to Jiang Yifei, and then ate a piece himself. The
four college students sat around in the small attic, eating the braised pork with their mouths empty, and kept praising it for being delicious.
After several minutes, they slowly calmed down. The four of them shared a box of braised pork rice set, and each of them took a bite of the pasta in another box. The rest was packed up and prepared for tomorrow morning.
During the most difficult times, they even stuffed raw rice and noodles directly into their mouths, not caring whether the noodles were still hot or lumpy when they ate them in the morning.
Jiang Yifei carefully closed the lids of the sandwich and pasta sets: "It's a pity that the shelf life is only seven days, otherwise I really can't bear to eat two boxes a day."
Zhou Mingyang: "I really can't figure out where they came from."
Song Xu: "Just like the outbreak of the zombie virus, there is no reason.
Tang Anqi: "Only one thing is certain - never mess with the errand shop. "
-------
Lu Yao returned to the store from next door. Ding Qing, Harold, Lu Mingxiao and Budu were sitting on chairs in the lobby.
The door of Ding Qing's residence had not been changed. She had found the materials and transported them into her residence during the day, but it would take until tomorrow to install it at the earliest.
She would stay in the store for another night.
Lu Mingxiao would also stay in the store.
Harold was going back to the nail salon, but seeing that Budu had not left, he stayed.
Lu Yao closed the store door with his backhand and asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Budu looked up at Lu Yao: "Mother..."
Lu Yao walked over and sat next to Budu: "Yesterday Xiaoji told me that she had found several kindergartens. After I finish the Mid-Autumn Festival activities, I will take you to the kindergarten to visit and learn in person. Then you can choose a kindergarten you like. "
Budu lowered his head and pinched his fingers, unwillingly.
Lu Yao pretended not to see it, and continued: "You want to be an errand runner, but there are only less than ten days before and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you have to train for one day. There is basically no experience."
Budu immediately raised his head: "Don't worry, I don't mind!"
Lu Yao nodded: "Okay, then you follow Harold tomorrow."
Harold was not surprised that Lu Yao would agree, but he also said realistically: "Your short legs really can't do it."
Budu: "..."
Lu Yao also helped to give advice: "How about trying skateboarding?"
Budu's eyes lit up.
Last year, he left Ji Feichen and his group behind and rushed to the Light City alone. He skated barefoot on an ice sled for nearly a hundred kilometers. It should not be difficult to skate on an ordinary skateboard.
The plan of the Mid-Autumn Festival limited-time errand runner for children was finalized.
Among the store employees, only Ding Qing had some doubts in her heart, but she did not ask too many questions.
Lu Yao thought that the matter was resolved, and urged Bu Du to go back to the hot spring hotel to rest. Harold also went back to the nail salon.
Ding Qing had to stay in the store for another night, and Lu Yao stayed here too.
Lu Yao washed up and came out, and received a message from the Internet cafe clerk.
The young Demon Lord from the Floating World Continent came to the store and wanted to see her.
Not long after the end of the God-Slaying War, Mo Bao succeeded the position of Demon Lord.
Except for the last time when he personally took Lu Yao to Tianyuan Demon Palace to receive Zeyuan's relics, he often came to the Internet cafe in person afterwards, sometimes to see Lu Yao, sometimes just to surf the Internet.
Lu Yao thought that Mobao came to see her again, so she said hello to Ding Qing and Lu Mingxiao, and hurried out in her pajamas.
Not Xianshan, Lu Yao's Trans-Time and Space Internet Cafe.
Employee lounge. Lu Yao
walked around the bar and pushed the door open.
The young Demon Lord wore a black robe with dark gold patterns, black hair and red eyes. Although he was young, he sat steadily on the sofa, full of momentum.
Lu Yao looked at Mo Bao carefully, walked over to him and sat down: "Have you been too busy recently? Why have you lost weight?"
Mo Bao became the Demon Lord, and the only confidant who followed him was still Xuanfeng.
Xuanfeng listened to
Lu Yao and couldn't help but nod. The previous Demon Lord died in battle, and the new Demon Lord grew up overnight. It has only been a few months since he took the throne, but his stubborn temper and workaholic characteristics have begun to show, which makes the assistant demon officials and attendants headache and distressed.
Mobao raised his hand and touched his cheek, shaking his head: "Nothing, just some trivial matters, no need to worry."
Lu Yao: "You should also eat well and pay attention to the combination of work and rest."
Mobao nodded perfunctorily and went straight to the point of the purpose of this trip: "The day before yesterday, the sparrow demon entrenched in the Internet cafe said a few words to me." Lu Yao
started to have a headache when he heard the beginning of the conversation.
Zhaoye, that guy, is as talkative as a leak. Lu
Yao raised his hand and gently ruffled his hair, with a little relief in his smile: "I didn't expect your relationship has become so good."
Mo Bao put his hands firmly on his knees: "I heard that you opened a new store, and Zhao Ye and the little dragon in the store were sent there to work."
As if knowing that Lu Yao would not agree easily, Mo Bao quickly said his purpose before Lu Yao opened his mouth: "I also want to work in that store."
[Author's words]
Crazy little drama:
Lu Budu: Silver hair and red eyes, looks like his mother, the most coquettish child
Mo Bao: Black hair and red eyes, personality like his father, the arrogant Tuanzi Demon Lord
This pair of half-brothers have a common dream: to become! errands!
---- Lu
Yao came out of the lounge and looked for the chattering little bird demon.
Zhao Ye transformed back into his original form and hid in the corner, spreading his wings to cover his pointed beak: The owner can’t see me! The owner can’t see me! The owner can’t see me!!!
