In the evening, Chen Xing drove the artillery truck back to the edge of the ruins of the city.
Worried that the skeleton would be ambushed near the truck, Chen Xing asked Cassie to stay in the car to protect the girls, and he got off the car and walked into the ruins to investigate.
The orange-red sunset slanted on the collapsed building, adding a sense of loneliness and loneliness. I looked at the watch and saw that it was now ten past five, and there were still two hours of sunshine. After climbing up a half-collapsed tall building, Chen Xing observed with a telescope for a while, and after confirming that there was no danger, he continued moving forward.
Sure enough, General Skeleton stayed near the supply truck. It was hidden behind a huge boulder, but half of its skeletal foot wearing cloth shoes was exposed, allowing Chen Xing to discover it.
"Crack!"
Chen Xing loaded the bullet, aimed at the bone foot, and launched a charged shot. The bullet hit the bone foot, and the skeleton general rushed out of the bunker. He waved the otachi in the direction of Chen Xing, and the bones hidden everywhere poured out.
Chen Xing put away his gun and ran away. The skeleton chased him for a while and left after losing sight of him. Then, Chen Xing ran back outside, drove the artillery truck in, and repeated his old tricks. Machine guns and cannons, fighting and running at the same time. Perhaps he was tired of being beaten by him, or perhaps the little wisdom he had left came into play. After two rounds, General Skeleton left with his troops.
After ensuring safety, Chen Xing drove the artillery truck to the side of the supply truck.
"The circuit is burned out."
After some inspection, Cassie determined that the circuit board was shorted due to overheating. Second-hand goods are unreliable and may misfire and break down at any time. However, the truck is a diesel vehicle and cannot use electricity to drive the fire. It can also be driven manually. Take out the starter lever in the tool box, open the car cover, insert it into the rotating hole, and stir it hard. The engine made a "chugging" sound and started to rotate.
Then everyone drove back to the relatively safe wilderness.
It was getting late at night, and the five women were preparing dinner. Chen Xing and Cassie were overhauling machinery and replenishing ammunition and fuel.
Today we fired more than 3,000 rounds of machine gun bullets and more than 40 rounds of artillery shells, half of which were consumed. The result of the battle was that the fastest cavalry were wiped out, a third of the archers and samurai were killed, and the general was not knocked down even once.
The defense capabilities of this Skeleton General are really terrible. Unless there is a strong guard-level man or a mecha squad, it will be difficult to eliminate him. But when things are done halfway, there is no reason to give up. You can only bite the bullet and wear it out slowly.
The smell of meat wafted over, and when she turned around, she saw Su Muzhu with one hand on her hips and a large ladle in the other, stirring the stew in the pot. There are cabbage, tofu, mushrooms, lunch meat, peppers, etc. The soup is reddish and full of aroma.
Chen Xing couldn't help but think that in fact, it would be good for mother and daughter to open a restaurant, and there was no need to engage in such a flesh-and-blood business. Su Muchu's cooking skills are pretty good, and she ate a lot at Nuanxinlou some time ago. But then again, the cook's income is only about ten or twenty gold coins a month, which is not as much as what the orioles earn in one night with their legs spread open.
Although he was thinking this, Chen Xing still leaned over and expressed his thoughts, "It tastes good. When we get to Dragon City, we can consider opening an Eastern Continent restaurant."
"Open a restaurant?" Su Muchu glared at Chen Xing, "Are you investing?"
Chen Xing blinked, "How much does it cost?"
"Transfer fee, rent, half-year deposit, decoration fee, kitchen equipment, management fee..." Su Muchu stretched out five fingers, "At least five thousand gold coins."
"Is it so expensive?" Chen Xing didn't believe it. On earth, five thousand gold coins would be five million.
"That's Lizard City, the capital of the principality, and the housing prices are three times that of Crow City." Su Muzhu sighed, looking down at the stew in the pot, "And at my level, I can cook for you sluts. , just give it to those rich people..."
She didn't say the next words, but Chen Xing understood them. The people living in the Lizard City are all wealthy people, how can they be used to eating such country cuisine. Even though Chen Xing is particular about eating, he is only at the bottom level. You know, he didn't make much money in his first two lives, and there was really little he could afford to eat.
He has also heard people say that the most delicious things in the world are the swim bladder of the Dead Sea white shark, the cartilage of the deep-sea electric eel, the meat of the abyssal fire ox, the liver of the black swan, the claws of the snow bear, the honey of the desert bee, and the nectar of the stone mountain python. Skin……
But he had never seen these except in magazines. How could Su Muchu, who was born in the wilderness, do this? Of course, these middle class people may not be able to afford it, but if they want to open a restaurant in Dragon City, Su Muchu's level is definitely not enough.
Chen Xing suddenly thought of whether he could introduce them to Beiqiao Group and help Hua Beidou cook. But he quickly denied it, not to mention whether Su Muchu would agree or whether Ye Yang Bailiu would be jealous. How could an ordinary woman endure the Beiqiao group traveling all over the country?
Besides, this is not the life their mother and daughter want. Some time ago, he heard Su Xuefei saying that she hadn't played the piano for a long time and missed her Waloz piano.
"dinner time!"
Su Muchu shouted at the top of her lungs, and the picnic began. The floor was covered with canvas torn from the car, and long baked bread was packed in a rattan basket with butter and jam beside it. Fresh fruits and vegetables were served on large plates with white salad dressing on them, as well as canned tuna, Canned braised pork, etc.
The stews are served in their own food boxes, and the broth has a faint aroma. Chen Xing washed his hands with water, broke off half of the bread, and ate it with the broth. It was very appetizing.
"You've worked hard today, let's eat some fish." Su Xuefei gave Chen Xing a piece of tuna, but Su Muchu glared at her and lowered her head.
Chen Xing casually took out a few pieces of jade jewelry from the backpack beside him and threw them one by one.
"What did this come from?" "It looks so beautiful." "The workmanship is very good." The three Orioles were playing with the jade ornaments, looking very curious.
"You're really worthless. A few broken stones can fool you all." Su Muchu said disdainfully, but secretly stuffed the portion given to her into her pocket.
"What is this?" Looking at the green pea pendant in her hand, Su Xuefei turned her head and asked in confusion. The one given to her was the prettiest. Although she had never seen it before and didn't know its value, she instinctively felt fond of it.
Just like when foreigners traveled across the ocean and arrived in ancient China, they saw jade for the first time. And just like the artifacts of the legendary Mayan civilization, human beings have a common concept of beauty. But any valuable thing, even if it comes from a completely unfamiliar civilization, will still be loved by the heart.
"This is jade." Chen Xing said.
"Emerald?" Su Xuefei murmured.
"You have to keep this thing. It may not be worth the price now, but it will be very valuable in the future." Chen Xing said seriously.
"Really or not?" Su Muzhu looked suspicious, took it out of his pocket and looked at it carefully. It was an emerald copper coin, green and yellow in color, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, and the workmanship was extremely fine.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Chen Xing said angrily, his good intentions were treated like a donkey's heart.
"Well, I believe you." Su Xuefei said obediently, earning another look from her mother. The three Orioles snickered and put away the jade ornaments.
"Hey, hey, Mr. Qin, where's mine?" the little black man asked anxiously. Everyone has one, but he doesn't.
"When you get in, you can look for it yourself." Chen Xing waved his hand like he was shooing away flies.
"Mr. Qin, I found that you are a bad guy who values sex over friends. Really..." Cassie said unhappily.
