Chapter 235 The Unspeakable Secret
Xia Yan thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
With a portal, couldn't she just invite customers to stay here? Another source of income!
"System, you heard it too, right? He looks down on us for not having a portal."
Xia Yan deliberately added fuel to the fire, not afraid of making things worse.
[Warm Tips: Portals are available in other categories in the mall]
Isn’t that what we have?
Swinging her arms leisurely, she touched her rumbling stomach. She had been trying to trick Xiao Chu for so long that she was so hungry that she could eat a cow.
Xia Yan was going to try the food at the newly opened barbecue restaurant. He took the elevator directly to the third floor and opened the door facing the bustling hot pot restaurant. He could see that the seats by the window were already full.
The hot pot soup base was bubbling and bursting, the mist was swirling, and the customers sitting on both sides were clinking their glasses with each other, making it very lively.
Further in is the newly opened barbecue restaurant with a simple plaque with three big characters. When you go in, you can see neat tables and a brand new barbecue oven.
She found a random seat and sat down, checked her favorite skewers on the menu, handed them to the waiter, and poured herself a cup of tea.
She had nothing to do first, so she opened the points card application background, where there were already hundreds of customers applying for the card.
Xia Yan was very shocked. He opened someone's message at random. The picture showed a man with thick hair on his face. He flipped to the bottom and saw that the recommender was actually the owner of Island No. 2 - Sang Yu.
Hasn't she been quiet all this time?
You don’t live on the island, but you recommend people to apply for the card. Do you think it’s expensive and don’t want to renew the lease after it expires?
Looking at the recommendation date again, it was already a week ago.
I randomly opened another application message, and it was from a pretty girl with deep dimples when she smiled. This was recommended by an unfamiliar person.
After flipping through a few more pages, she found that the recommenders were inconsistent, and very few of them were people she knew. They must have been recommended after she had applied for the card.
Xia Yan didn't think too much about it. After clicking on the filter, he approved the applications of all the remaining 200 people.
At this time, the skewers were served, she closed the interface and started to enjoy the food.
...
“Stop!”
The leader suddenly raised his hand to call for a stop. The old, weak and sick people following behind stopped in a panic, with panic in their eyes.
What's going on? What happened in front?
A tired voice, suppressing a cough, rang out from the crowd, "Hu Zi, why did you stop?"
The leader, known as Hu Zi, had arms longer than his knees. At this moment, he raised his left arm and looked around in front of his eyes.
"That's weird, what is this thing? It doesn't hurt at all, and I can't dig it out."
Hu Zi was scratching his itch through his shoe, and his funny eyebrows kept twitching.
"Ahem, Sang Yu, go and see what's going on." The old man raised his finger with difficulty.
Even if Sang Yu didn't want to leave him, she had no choice but to follow the footprints left by the predecessors and walked over step by step, "Let me see."
"Hey, Miss, you are smart. Look at what this is. Hu Zi doesn't understand."
Don't be fooled by Hu Zi's monkey-like appearance, he is actually too honest.
Sang Yu pulled his arm over and exclaimed, "Boss Xia has approved your application! You are now a member of the resort hotel!!"
"Dad, Boss Xia really agreed!" She was so happy that she didn't care that the muddy snow water would wet her trouser legs. She ran all the way back and threw herself into the old man's arms, touching the protruding bones under his thin cotton jacket with trembling hands.
Sang Zhengyi was so excited that he breathed too hard, and the air he inhaled into his lungs was freezing cold. "Ahem, Huzi, try it and see if it works."
"Hey!" Hu Zi stretched out his long, curved nails, gently poked the small screen, and followed the picture step by step.
Soon, something strange happened in the air, and a bowl of hot beef noodles appeared in the air.
"Niu Niu Niu Niu beef noodles!" Hu Zi was so excited that he stuttered. He held the noodles in his hands as if they were treasures. After blowing away the cool air, the aroma became even more charming.
The emerald green onions, the chewy and slippery noodles, the brightly colored soup base, and what made him drool the most were the three large pieces of fat and lean beef piled on the noodles.
All the old, weak and sick crawled up from the ground, not even having time to brush the snow off their buttocks, and came forward with their noses twitching, their eyes gleaming green like hungry wolves.
Hu Zi suppressed his saliva and shouted, "Don't mess around, this is for my master, it's not your turn yet."
As he spoke, he protected the beef noodles with his long arms as he walked through the crowd inside.
For a long time, Master Sang always secretly fed him food without anyone knowing, always telling him to eat more and be more vigilant, because this group of people had to rely on him to maintain their safety.
Hu Zi always patted his chest when he heard him say this, saying, "No problem, I'll listen to whatever the master says."
But even when Master Sang handed the food to him, Hu Zi clenched his fists and refused to let him put the food in through his fingers.
He knew that this bite was also saved by Master Sang.
Hu Zi felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to laugh. He was so hungry that he was skin and bones, but he was so strong.
Sang Zhengyi was so angry that he kept coughing. Sang Yu, who was standing by, heard it and rushed over to pat his back to help him calm down. He glared at him from time to time and asked him to go to the front to guard.
Hu Zi was naturally happy to do so. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard Sang Zhengyi sternly telling Sang Yu to go and boil some water and come back.
Sang Zhengyi patted his chest to calm down, and when no one was paying attention, he forcefully stuffed a mouthful of steamed bun into his hand.
"After you go back, patrol the area and see if there's a place to stay." Sang Zhengyi raised his voice and waved his hand, pulled the quilt up on his chest, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Hu Zi clenched the steamed bun tightly, tightened his lips and left without saying a word. He followed Sang Zhengyi's instructions and honestly found a place to stay tonight.
It was not until he turned a T-corner and the inquiring gaze behind him disappeared that he spread out his palm. The steamed bun was in a mess, and the white residue fell off when the cold wind blew.
Can't waste it.
He tilted his head back and poured all the steamed bun crumbs into his mouth, chewed them vigorously a few times, and swallowed them...
Even if the bottom of the bowl burned Hu Zi's fingers red, he would still personally bring it to Sang Zhengyi.
"Hey, master, eat the noodles quickly, no, eat the meat first." Hu Zi half squatted down until he was as tall as him in the wheelchair.
Hu Zi picked up the largest piece of meat and tried to put it to his mouth, "Ah——"
Sang Zhengyi pressed down his daughter's instantly furious hand and said with a smile, "Huzi, takeout can only be eaten by the cardholder. I appreciate your kindness, but hurry up and eat. We have to hurry to the place you found before the snow gets too heavy."
Sang Yu was almost crying with anger, and cursed: "You are so good, Tiger, you clearly know that you can't give takeout to others, but you still ran to eat it in front of my dad! You clearly know that we are all hungry! When have you ever seen me eat takeout in front of everyone?!"
If all the crystal cores had not been used to buy their lives, how could they have ended up like this!
If no one had ever seen or smelled the aroma of takeout, they could just support each other and get through it.
But no one can accept that they are almost starving to death while someone across the street is eating takeout and enjoying it. This will cause everyone to feel unbalanced and start rioting.
"Okay, don't blame Huzi, this was my suggestion."
