As the bell on the door rang, Anxi walked outside the store.
The town was still shrouded in a thick curtain of darkness, looking strange and weird. The light from the shops on both sides of the street seemed unable to penetrate the glass and shine outside.
Anxi turned on the flashlight hanging around her neck.
Although the flashlight is small, the penetrating power of its light is extremely powerful. It is brighter than the one Anxi brought herself, allowing people to see clearly the electric car on the right side of the store at a glance.
Anxi put the meal into the insulated box placed at the back of the electric car, got on the electric car, inserted the key and turned it.
Start the electric car, press the handle to accelerate, and turn right.
Anxi officially embarked on the road of food delivery.
The road was bumpy and Anxi did not increase her speed.
The headlights illuminated about one meter ahead. Anxi was careful along the way, for fear of colliding with the town citizen and getting herself into trouble.
When she reached the first fork in the road, Anxi took out the map, checked it carefully, and determined that she needed to turn left.
Immediately afterwards, she turned into the intersection on the left and continued driving for about five minutes. The sound of pattering water gradually increased.
Anxi turned on the flashlight and illuminated the source of the water sound. A dirty green pond came into view, with aquatic plants and scattered sawdust floating on the water, and a fishy smell wafting in the air.
There is a wooden fence surrounding the pond, and there is a wooden sign engraved with the word "bubble" on the fence.
This is it.
Anxi got out of the car, took out the meal from the insulator, walked to the fence in a few steps, knocked on the wooden sign, and said, "The takeout has arrived, please come to the courtyard gate to pick it up."
There was no reaction in the pond.
An Qian shouted again: "The takeaway has arrived, please come to the courtyard gate to pick it up."
Several bubbles appeared in the pond, and with the sound of gurgling water, a translucent head emerged from the water. Its texture was like jelly, and its body bounced while swimming.
Its eyes and mouth were three small sunken holes. When it saw Anxi at the entrance of the courtyard, it blinked, swam to the pond, pushed open the fence door, and raised its hand towards Anxi.
Only then did Anxi see its full appearance. It looked like a lizard, but it had no hind legs and only had a big tail slapping the water.
The second rule says that it is Brother Shuipao who comes to pick up the food.
But the identification method given by the rules is too rough. The older brother has bigger hands and the younger brother has a longer tail.
Now there is only one large lizard with jelly texture in the pool. There is no comparison. Who knows which one has bigger hands and which one has longer tail.
"Gulu gulu..." The underwater jelly lizard made a sound urging Anxi.
An Qian didn't move and continued to shout: "The takeaway has arrived, please come to the courtyard gate to pick it up."
"Gurgling...!" Although she couldn't understand it, its purring became louder and faster, and Anxi could feel that it was getting impatient.
Anxi didn't want to waste the correction fluid here. The danger factor of this small town doubled in the dark. She didn't understand the situation on the first day, and she didn't know how many orders would be delivered later.
The store manager Axiong said that the brothers had relatively good-natured personalities, and it didn't matter if she did something rude.
Wait a little longer.
"Gulu...Gulu..." Another jelly lizard swam out, and he swam slower.
Although neither of the two jelly lizards showed their front limbs.
But Anxi could also guess right away that the one that appeared later was her brother.
They move forward by fetching water with their tails. The younger brother's tail is bigger, so he swims faster, so the slower little tail swimmer is the older brother.
Fortunately, the first order was completed easily.
Anxi handed the takeaway to Brother Shuipao.
Brother Bubble opened the plastic sheet, checked the food, nodded with satisfaction, and climbed out of the pool.
Through its translucent belly, you can see it is filled with coins.
It looked up at Anxi: "Gulu?"
Probably asking how much it cost, Anxi quickly replied: "72 yuan."
"Gulu." Brother Bubbles responded, crawling on the ground, and his stomach began to wriggle.
With a few "Gulu...! Gulu...!" I spit out all the coins in my stomach.
