At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xiaoxiao saw that everyone had settled down, so she walked over to the ghost old man and asked him, "Can I order food from the place where you are eating?"
"Of course they can, but they only do business with people they know."
"Are you an acquaintance?"
"Calculate."
"Then take me there, and we can order our meals from him for the next few days."
When the old man heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, he originally wanted to refuse, because he knew that family didn't like to contact with outsiders, but when he thought of the family's difficult life, he finally nodded in agreement.
More than half an hour later, the old man took Lu Xiaoxiao to a dilapidated courtyard. If the old man hadn't said that there were people living in the courtyard, she would have thought it was an abandoned courtyard because the courtyard was so dilapidated.
“Knock knock knock… knock knock… knock knock knock…” The old man stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, then stood at the door waiting for someone to open it for him.
A few minutes later, the ghost old man saw the door open from the inside, so he walked up and whispered a few words to the person who opened the door, then said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Master Xiao, let's go in."
After hearing what the old man said, Lu Xiaoxiao said okay, and then she walked into the yard with the old man.
When she entered the yard, she felt that it looked even more dilapidated. At the same time, she doubted whether it was really habitable.
"Master Xiao, please walk faster." Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao was walking slower and slower, the old man couldn't help but remind her.
After hearing what the old man said, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately came to her senses, and then she quickened her pace to chase after the old man and the others.
When she caught up with the ghost old man, she asked him quietly: "Is there really food here?"
"Yes, you will know in a moment." After the old man finished speaking, he did not speak again, but quickened his pace and walked inside.
A few minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao followed the old man into the basement. She instantly knew where the two men cooked. She said, how could someone still live in such a shabby house? It turned out there was another world inside. She still underestimated the wisdom of people of that era.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you want to eat?" The old man asked Lu Xiaoxiao after ordering his food.
“Can we order food here?”
"Sure, but the way to order food here is a little different from outside."
"Tell me about it."
"Here you can only order a few meat dishes and ingredients, but you can't specify what dishes they are. You can specify rice and steamed buns, but whether they are available or not is up to luck."
After listening to the old man's words, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded in understanding, and then she said to him, "I want one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and a bowl of rice."
"There is no rice today, only steamed buns made from three-grain flour."
"Then give me two steamed buns made of three-grain flour."
"Okay." After the old man finished speaking, he went to order food.
A few minutes later, the old man returned to the table with the dishes they ordered. He then said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "I asked for three steamed buns made of 300 grams of flour for each of Monkey and the others. As for the dishes, there are none left. I can only bring them some in the evening."
"It's okay. I still have two bottles of pickled mustard tuber, which can be used to make steamed buns for them. Let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, we can bring the steamed buns back for them to eat. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will cry out of hunger."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the old man said okay, and then he picked up his chopsticks to eat.
