The first food stall in the wasteland

Chapter 2

To put it bluntly, you have to pick up trash.

Shen Lu cheered himself up, let's try it first, there are not many other things here, and there are mountains of discarded metal garbage.

There is a No. [-] garbage dump not far from the [-]th block. Shen Lu got up on his knees and walked towards the garbage dump in a shaded place.

Walking out of the crooked and narrow streets, there is a sharp wind and sand blowing head-on.

Shen Lu was inexperienced, before he could close his mouth in time, he was fed a mouthful of sand, and pissed twice, but didn't spit it out.

After a dozen more steps, we arrived at the No. [-] garbage dump.

Different from the garbage dump in Shen Lu's original world, there is no leftovers here, let alone abandoned furniture, only cold metal.

The disgusting smell of rust penetrated into the nostrils violently, and the irritating Shen Lu felt refreshed.

Two stooped middle-aged men passed by her and looked at her curiously.

It was even more shocking to meet a girl in a lace princess dress at a junkyard than to see a girl in a lace princess dress on Seventeenth Street.

Lace skirts are a symbol of upper-class citizens, and only they can afford exquisite and expensive lace skirts.

How could such a person come to the garbage dump?

Shen Lu ignored their monkey-like looks, tore off a relatively clean piece of skirt lining, used it as a mask around his mouth and nose, and entered the garbage dump with unwavering steps.

I thought that as long as it wasn't broken copper and iron, the system would be able to collect it. Shen Lu didn't know many types of metals, so he tried to pick some metal parts that looked good for the system to see.

[Host, the black filamentary metal in your hand is tungsten, 1000 grams can be exchanged for ten liters of pure water. 】

Shen Lu was shocked: "How much? How much do you say for ten liters of pure water?!"

[1000 grams, the host. 】

Shen Lu: "You're just kidding me!"

She searched for an hour to find a tungsten wire the length of a palm, less than 40 grams.

What is the concept of 1000 grams? She had to find 25 tungsten wires of this length to get 1000 grams!
According to her current efficiency, she won't be able to find 25 tungsten wires in a day, okay? !

Anger turned into anger, Shen Lu continued to bury his head in looking for metal that could be used for ingredients.

Three hours later, Shen Lu couldn't hold on any longer and walked out of the garbage dump in disgrace. He exchanged half a bucket of water, a handful of mints and half a fingernail's worth of candy from the system.

The system is quite conscientious, the bucket is free, metal texture, with a lid, Shen Lu is very satisfied.

Pat the mint hard a few times, throw all the mint and sugar into the water, then close the lid of the bucket and shake it twice, soak the mint water for a while and the water is ready.

Yes, Shen Lu decided to set up a stall to sell mint water.

After all, she is penniless now, and she doesn't even have a place to live, let alone light a fire to cook.

Mint water does not need to be fired, it is easy to get, and in this world where food resources are extremely scarce, there is no need to worry about selling it.

When leaving, Shen Lu conveniently brought a one-foot-long metal plate, and carried the bucket back to the Seventeenth Street.

I have already thought about where to sell Shenlu.

Next door to Seventeenth Street is the most famous Jinjin Street in the Imperial City.

The whole street is full of dizzying feasts, a paradise for the middle and lower classes, and even the upper classes get a little bit involved.

Different from the dilapidated and desolate Seventeenth Block, Pinjin Street is resplendent and lively and prosperous as if it were in the same time and space, giving people an unreal feeling of traveling through time.

Shen Lu didn't go too far and found a shaded place to put down the bucket.

She took out a piece of broken iron and crunched to write on the metal plate.

Scratch off the rust, revealing the light-colored inside, and soon there are a few big crooked characters on the metal half - Deer Food.

Shen Lu put the metal plate in front of the bucket and patted the dust on his hands.

OK, the signboard is there, the products are there, and this is her stall. Although it is extremely simple, no one stipulates how luxurious the stall should be, as long as it can be used.

Shen Lu urged the system to quickly accept the task with his mind.

[Ding dong, food stall 1/1 has been detected and named successfully. The task has been completed and a lottery ticket will be awarded. 】

Shen Lu exclaimed: "Can we still draw a lottery?"

[Yes, host. 】

Shen Lu: "Then let's give it a shot, what's in the prize pool?"

A translucent interface unfolded in front of Shen Lu, and a huge square lottery tray appeared.

This is very similar to the blind box lottery machine that Shen Lu saw in the mall in his previous life, except that there are more grids, hundreds of them.

[The host can start the blind box lottery machine just by saying the lottery silently, the prize pool is rich in items, and there are many surprises. 】

Shen Lu silently recited the lottery draw, and the blind box lottery machine immediately flickered and beeped three seconds later.

[Congratulations to the host for winning the blind box prize No. 3: a permanent ice cup. 】

[Permanent Ice Cup: No matter when and where, the Ice Cup will look like it was just taken out of the refrigerator. The drink poured into it will immediately cool down to 0°, bringing a cool and pleasant experience! 】

[Ding dong~ Task released: Please sell 10 cups of mint water. 】

Shen Lu's eyes are shining, this prize is very useful, it is tailor-made for her.

She just happened to be worried about not getting a suitable container to hold water, so she picked up a metal part similar to a water cup to replace it.

The metal parts were covered with rust spots, and Shen Lu just pretended not to see them.

Anyway, the food that many people eat is also dirty and unclean, so they won't get sick after eating it.

Now with the permanent ice ice cup, it is great to keep it clean and cool down.

Shen Lu is full of confidence in her small stall. She sells a glass of mint water for 20 star coins, and half a bucket of water can have more than 20 cups, that is, she can earn more than 400 star coins!
Based on the prices here, she can rent a cheap rental house in the [-]th block and still have a little balance. She can buy some handy tools to improve her efficiency in picking up garbage tomorrow.

And by the way, you can get a lottery ticket for completing the task. I don't know what prize I can get from this time.

Shen Lu pursed his lips, and had some expectations for the future.

But there are pedestrians coming and going, and no one is willing to stop to buy mint water.

Shen Lu also tried to shout, but it didn't work at all.

Inadvertently, Shen Luzhong saw his own reflection on the silver-white metal outer wall opposite, and suddenly realized.

Her hair was disheveled, and there were not a few clean spots on her body. She was no different from a beggar.

No wonder no one came to buy mint water. Her image was too bad. She looked more like a deceitful little beggar than a mint water seller.

Just wash your face.

Do you use peppermint water?
Shen Lu was not very willing, because she didn't like to make her face smell of mint, and she had two scratches on her face, so it was not suitable for her to use mint water.

She suddenly remembered that Fucheng had something called a foldable medical kit on his waist. In addition to medicines, it also contained a small amount of gauze and saline, which was more than enough for washing her face.

Shen Lu quickly made up his mind, took the bucket and the signboard and went back to the Seventeenth Street District, and found Fucheng.

Fucheng was lying on the spot, but he was worse than before. Someone tore his gauze into a mess, and his bright red flesh was exposed to the air, emitting a bloody smell.

As he got closer, Shen Lu was even more surprised. There were actually a few mice gnawing on Fucheng's severed limbs, squeaking and squeaking as they gnawed, as if they were communicating.

Good guy, what about eating human sashimi here?
