Chapter 237 Wheat Gluten Pancake
“Is it really edible?”
"I don't know. I've never heard of it before...wheat has mutated. Can bran still be eaten?"
"Yeah, and if it's really edible, would they be so kind as to let us eat it for free?"
Even though Cheng Sinian spoke hard for a long time, the people around him still had some doubts.
After all, no one had ever heard that the bran of mutated wheat was edible, and there was no notification from the base.
Qiao Yu looked at the hesitant crowd with a calm expression.
The current situation is exactly what she expected.
Her main purpose today was not to sell bran cakes, but to spread the news.
Qiao Yu and his companions stayed at the store entrance for a short while before returning to the store.
Anyway, the news about the product has already spread, and those who are willing to take the bait will be interested. They just have to wait and see.
"Excuse me...is it really free?"
As soon as Qiao Yu and his friends returned to the store, they heard someone pushing the door open.
The person who came was a skinny, short woman with a sallow complexion, ragged and dirty clothes, and she was holding an equally skinny boy in her arms.
The boy had his eyes slightly closed, his expression dull, and he looked like he was dying.
Qiao Yu took a glance and nodded with a chuckle, "Yes, it's free!"
Qiao Yu winked at Ding Baian, signaling him to get the bran and wheat cakes.
Ding Baian understood and immediately took out two bran cakes from the basket on the counter.
Just as he was about to turn around, Ding Baian thought about it and took two more pieces.
"Here." Ding Baian handed four wheat bran cakes to the woman. "We are a conscientious shop. If you think it's good, I hope you can help us spread the word."
The woman was flattered as she took the four wheat bran cakes and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you! Thank you! I will definitely help you spread the word!"
The woman's hands were shaking as she held the bran-wheat pancake.
She and her son haven't eaten for a long time.
Since they said this thing is edible, then just believe them. Anyway, she and her son will starve to death if they don’t eat it.
After the woman finished speaking, she turned and left, quickly stuffing the bran-wheat cake in her hand into her mouth. After chewing it a few times, she lowered her head and fed it all to the child in her arms.
After swallowing hard for a few times, the child in her arms finally showed some life in his eyes.
Qiao Yu looked at the backs of the mother and son as they walked away, and sighed silently in his heart.
The greatness of maternal love cannot be described in words.
I don’t know if the mother and son really helped promote their business after they left, but not long after, many people started coming into the store.
Qiao Yu took a look and saw that most of them were poor people who were starving to death.
Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good thing, at least those who really needed help could get it.
--
Qiao Yu and his companions stayed in the store for the whole morning. Only after seeing the increasing number of people coming in did they leave with peace of mind.
Next, it depends on what Yu Qingchuan and Professor Kang do.
However, they didn't expect that as soon as they left the store, Qiao Yu and his three companions met Gao Yang and several of his teammates at the market, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
But for some reason, Tang Ran was not there.
Coincidentally, they were also talking about bran-wheat pancakes.
"That's the shop that sells bran and wheat cakes. I heard that the bran and wheat cakes are free today. Captain, do you want to go get some to try?" A member of the Shengshi Dynasty team came up to Gao Yang, pointed at the shop with the "Tianfeng" sign, and asked in a low voice.
"What are you going to taste? Who knows if that thing is edible? What if it's harmful to your body?" another team member disagreed.
Gao Yang thought about it and was about to speak when he saw Qiao Yu and others walking out of the shop and greeted them directly.
Gao Yang's face darkened. Without saying a word, he pursed his lips and walked straight past Qiao Yu and the others into the store.
Seeing this, the team members behind him hurriedly followed.
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows as he looked at the backs of Gao Yang and the others. "I thought they wouldn't go in after seeing us coming out of the store."
"Are they desperate? They're taking advantage of such a small advantage?"
Qiao Yu also raised his eyebrows, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I bet a hundred crystal cores that they will definitely get bran and wheat cakes."
When Jiang Zhan heard what Qiao Yu said, he smiled and said, "Then I will bet 100 crystal cores that they will get the bran and wheat cakes."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian exchanged a glance with Luo Zhenzhen and said helplessly, "Aren't you forcing us to bet that they won't accept it?"
But after saying that, Cheng Sinian touched his chin and said, "But I really feel that he won't accept the cake."
Luo Zhenzhen blinked when she heard that. "Why?"
"Although there's a saying that goes 'If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a jerk,' I think Gao Yang and the others will understand that this store belongs to us after they see Ding Baian."
"Even if you don't understand, you should know that it has something to do with us."
"Look at the way he looked just now. If he had any backbone and courage, he wouldn't have been able to stop him, right?"
Jiang Zhan raised his chin, "Then why are you still talking nonsense? Do you want to gamble or not?"
Cheng Sinian sighed, "Now that we've come to this, how can we not gamble?"
Cheng Sinian stretched out his arms, placed his hand on Luo Zhenzhen's shoulder, and said with a sly smile, "Let's bet! The two of us will bet two hundred! We bet he won't take it!"
Luo Zhenzhen pursed her lips and weakly tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Actually... I want to bet that they will bring it..."
Qiao Yu burst out laughing when he heard that.
Cheng Sinian was so angry that he pinched Luo Zhenzhen's cheek, pinching her mouth into a pout, and threatened with gritted teeth: "No, you can only gamble with me!"
"Well... I got it! I got it! I'll go with you..." Luo Zhenzhen flapped her arms and clapped Cheng Sinian's hands desperately.
"Hmph!" After getting the assurance, Cheng Sinian snorted and reluctantly let go of Luo Zhenzhen.
"Then let's wait here for a while!" Qiao Yu chuckled. "When they come out, we'll know the answer by seeing if they have any biscuits in their hands."
So Qiao Yu and the other three walked to a slightly farther location, from where they could just see the entrance of the store.
"But why didn't I see Tang Ran today?" Cheng Sinian leaned against the wall, looking puzzled.
How could a girl like Tang Ran, who wishes to be surrounded by people all the time, miss such a good travel opportunity?
Qiao Yu was also puzzled.
Before, Tang Ran could be said to have never left the team, so why is it that now he doesn’t even follow us when we go out?
Although Qiao Yu was not very familiar with the members of Shengshi Dynasty, he could tell from a quick glance that they were the entire team.
A bold hypothesis suddenly popped up in Qiao Yu's mind.
Could it be that... Tang Ran has quit the team?
