When Li Yao called her "sister," the older woman's lips curled up considerably. She quickly tapped her abacus away and said, "That's 6.57 yuan in total, plus 1.2 jin of grain coupons."
Li Yao reached into her pocket, actually rummaging through her spatial storage, and pulled out 6 yuan and 57 jiao, along with two grain coupons, which she gave to the cashier.
The older sister looked at them and said, "One grain coupon is for one jin (500 grams), and the other is for two liang (100 grams). The amount of money is just right."
After Li Yao went inside, she found a seat by the window and waited for the food to be served. During this time, some people came in and, seeing that Li Yao was wearing a mask, they all quietly walked around her, but Li Yao didn't pay any attention to it.
Soon after, they called out the names of the dishes and the ticket numbers. Li Yao went to serve the dishes, and then they started eating.
First, mix the noodles with soybean paste. Back then, state-run restaurants used high-quality ingredients. You could see lots of meat chunks in the sauce of the noodles with soybean paste, and the noodles came in a big bowl—very substantial.
Li Yao took off her mask, swallowed hard, and stirred the noodles. Seeing that each noodle was coated with a thick sauce, she picked up a noodle and took a big bite.
It's savory and fragrant with a rich meaty aroma. The salty and umami flavor of the sauce is very strong. Paired with noodles and cucumber strips, it perfectly balances the saltiness. The noodles are chewy and have a rich wheat aroma. There's a subtle sweetness in the aftertaste, making it especially delicious.
After slurping down a bowl of dumplings, Li Yao started showing off her dumplings. She put some chili oil and vinegar from the restaurant into her dipping sauce and began eating them with sweet and sour pork and sweet and sour pork.
One pound contains 60 dumplings, with thin skins and generous fillings, and a strong meaty aroma. Li Yao takes a bite of a dumpling and a bite of meat, and can't stop eating them.
She was stunned by the young couple sitting at the table, and an old man with a child at the next table was also dumbfounded. The child was not eating his noodles well at first, but when he saw Li Yao eating so deliciously, he started slurping them down too, and ended up stuffed.
Li Yao had barely eaten anything all day. She had gone hungry in the morning to maintain her weak condition, and in the afternoon, she had been disgusted by Li Meng and Li Kang while cleaning up that family. So now, sitting in the dining room smelling the aroma of food, she was truly hungry.
A short while later, Li Yao finished eating and looked up, feeling like something was missing. Then she heard the system say, "You're missing me! I'm starving in the Spirit Spring Space!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yao suddenly remembered that something was missing from her person today. It turned out that 6834 was missing.
Li Yao used her mind to select some dishes in the space and placed them in the villa in the [Spirit Spring Space].
She then took out a tissue from her small backpack, pretended to wipe her mouth, and looked up to see everyone around her staring at her like she was in a daze.
Li Yao was a little embarrassed, then grinned and walked out of the restaurant.
She felt quite embarrassed with so many people watching her.
Little did Li Yao know that these people were truly shocked to see her thin, frail body and to see her eat so much food that it would take two or three adult men to finish.
As Li Yao walked out of the restaurant, it was getting dark. She checked the time on the system panel; it was 5:48 PM Beijing time. She then strolled over to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative here is a small store. Li Yao took a look and found that it mainly sold everyday items. The things in her space were too conspicuous, and sometimes she might not even notice when she took them out to use them, which would expose her information. So she bought some everyday items instead.
Li Yao bought everything the store had, including enamel toothbrush cups, water cups, enamel basins for washing her face and feet, wooden combs, thermos flasks, towels, and a jar of candy and pastries.
After spending 163 yuan and some industrial tickets and other receipts, Li Yao left carrying a bunch of things.
