The first food stall in the wasteland

Chapter 14 How long has it been since she saw such a lively little girl?
Pour water into one of the compartments of the spicy hotpot machine, choose a spicy soup base and drag it in, then turn up the heat.

The bright red soup boiled, and Shen Lu put the difficult-to-cook beef balls and bean puffs into it to cook first, and then put vermicelli and lettuce when it was almost cooked.

The aroma of Mala Tang was not as overbearing as the egg waffles, but it was more exciting. The aroma wafted out of the doors and windows, and the residents living nearby were hit hard again.

"Damn, who the hell eats delicious food at home every day?! They all live in the [-]th block, how can they still have money to eat such good food?"

“It’s unreasonable, it’s really unreasonable!”

"Fuck, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to find this person!"

"Okay, don't you see it's getting dark outside? Have you forgotten about the death last night? You don't want your own dog's life anymore?"

……

Shen Lu didn't know what kind of disturbance she had caused, but she would be fine if she knew it, she could eat and drink hot food by her own ability, and they could do it if they had the ability.

Anyway, it's not that there are no ingredients here at all, but the cost of cultivation is very high, and the price is too expensive for ordinary people to afford.

There were a lot of ingredients and there were two big bowls of it.

Shen Lu overestimated her appetite. She was full after just one bowl, and spicy food was not easy to feed Fucheng.

She thought for a while and put the extra Malatang in the bucket and closed the lid so that others could not see it and also covered most of the smell.

Shen Lu held a wolf baton in his left hand and a bucket in his right hand to go out. Several street lights outside were broken and no one repaired them. Fortunately, the moonlight was so strong that it did not delay walking.

After turning left and walking less than ten meters, Shen Lu gently knocked on the door.

"Grandma Jin, are you there?"

There was a faint light in the room, and after a few seconds, Granny Jin's voice sounded.

"Is something wrong?"

"Um, can I go in?"

The door opened, and Granny Jin's old face with a deep ravine appeared, "Come in."

When Shen Lu entered the house, Granny Jin immediately closed the door.

"It's late at night, you don't stay in the house, come out to seek death?"

Shen Lu didn't pay too much attention to Granny Jin's dissatisfied tone. She also knew she shouldn't go out at night, but it wasn't close. It wouldn't even take a minute if she walked faster.

"I want to give you something."

"No, you keep it for yourself." Granny Jin refused without even thinking about it, she vaguely guessed Shen Lu's thoughts, it was nothing more than thanking him for what happened in the morning.

Shen Lu opened the lid of the bucket, and the spicy aroma rushed out, "I made too much, my brother and I couldn't finish it, if you don't mind, you can taste it."

Granny Jin glanced at the barrel in disbelief, then slowly shifted her gaze to Shen Lu's face: "Who are you?"

She had already seen from Shen Lu's dress that she was not an ordinary girl. She must have encountered a big change when she lived in the [-]th neighborhood.

But she had no intention of finding out.

As people get older, they no longer gossip like they did when they were young. The only thing she thinks about now is to hold on to her rental house and spend her old age without illness or disaster.

"Me?" Shen Lu tugged at his lips, "A person who tries hard to live a good life."

"Do you know how many star coins this bowl of food can be sold for?" Granny Jin unconsciously raised her voice, "A green leafy vegetable costs thousands of star coins, let alone other foods. You..."

Why live in Seventeenth Street when you can afford such expensive food?
Granny Jin has the illusion of being played by someone.

But Shen Lu had no reason to play tricks on her. They didn't know each other before.

The original owner had never been to the vegetable market, and Shen Lu had just entered this world, and had been wandering around the Seventeenth Street area, not knowing the price of vegetables.

She knew that ingredients would be expensive here, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.

"I just want to thank you." Shen Lu talked about the original reason for coming, "Grandma Jin, you don't have to feel burdened."

"Then I'm welcome." Grandma Jin bent over and took out the spicy hot pot. Speaking of which, when was the last time she had decent food?

ten years ago?
Or 20 years ago?

It's been so long that she can't remember.

Grandma Jin found the metal chopsticks that she had not used for a long time, wiped them with the hem of her clothes, and picked up a meatball.

The beef balls are exuding heat, mixed with the aroma of meat and spicy flavor, which is particularly tempting.

Grandma Jin blew, took a bite, and the soup wrapped in the meatball burst out vigorously, scalding her palate.

But more is the beef flavor.

Even though it was hot, Granny Jin didn't spit it out. She endured the burning sensation and chewed and tasted it carefully.

Shen Lu sat down opposite Granny Jin, held his chin in his hands and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"

She also tasted it herself, and the taste is quite good. If some small ingredients are added, it will be even better.

But Shen Lu didn't buy it, it's bad, if you can save it, it's not bad.

"It's delicious." Granny Jin stretched her eyebrows, she didn't expect to be able to eat a mouthful of fresh and hot food at this age, "Thank you."

"Reciprocity, if it weren't for your help this morning, I don't know how to deal with those people."

"No need to dispose of it." Granny Jin blew the balls a little longer this time, "You may not know that someone also recovered the body."

"Huh?" Shen Lu was surprised, "Recover the corpse?"

Granny Jin didn't mind discussing these at all during the meal, "Yes, according to the research report of the Imperial City Institute of Biology, corpses are decomposed and fermented, and are good fertilizers. Plants cannot be grown in the wild land, but the soil carefully cultivated by the institute Yes, and the fertilizer made by fermenting corpses can replenish the elements that the soil lacks. I don’t know the details, but I have only heard about it occasionally.”

Shen Lu's eyes widened, and his three views were severely impacted.

Who dares to eat vegetables grown with fertilizer made from corpses?

But people here not only dare to eat it, but even sell it at a high price.

"Hehe." Granny Jin was amused by her appearance, "Is this kind of thing hard to accept?"

"Um……"

"Then do you know what the earth-flavored nutrient solution is made of?" Granny Jin suddenly had a bad taste.

"You won't tell me, is that what you did?" Shen Lu frowned more and more.

"That's not true." Granny Jin said to the fans, "Do you know about white maggots?"

Shen Lu not only searched in his own memory, but also searched the memory of the original owner, but found nothing.

It's all maggots after all.

Shen Lu shook his head: "Grandma Jin, I can't come out for too long, uh...I mean, my brother may need me."

Why did she think Granny Jin was a serious and lonely old lady before?

Isn't this naughty!
Granny Jin smiled and said nothing. Instead of exposing her lie, she walked her to the door in person.

"Go back quickly, it's best not to wander around the Seventeenth Street at night, it's not safe."

"Know it."

Shen Lu picked up the bucket and ran back to the rental house.

Granny Jin watched her enter the room before closing the door. She sat back at the table, looked at the steaming Malatang and sighed softly.

As soon as the little girl left, the room immediately became lonely and cold.

Thinking about it, she hadn't seen such a lively little girl for a long time.
