It is said that people are timid when close to home, and it is true. Wang Qirui is indeed a little uneasy in his heart. He wonders if his parents and brothers are all well?
Wang Qirui and Xia Kai did not go to the official exchange. Most of the products sold there were weapons. They had already seen it yesterday, and today they would go around the various private trading markets in the safe zone to see if there was anything they could match. thing.
When wandering around noon, Wang Qirui and Xia Kai were both a little hungry. There happened to be a restaurant with red lanterns hanging on the roadside. People came in and out from time to time, and it seemed that business was very busy.
The official relief food distributed by the Xitang Safety Zone is very limited, but it provides cheap weapons to the survivors in the safety zone. The policy also encourages survivors to bravely leave the safety zone and go to the outside world to obtain food sources, such as hunting, gathering or even Fish to feed themselves and store food.
At the same time, business was encouraged and relying on cheap finished weapons attracted many private caravans from other places who came to prospect for gold. Because of the large floating population, there were all kinds of shops.
The restaurant that Wang Qirui and the others entered was bustling with people and excitement. When they walked into the restaurant, the aroma of the food mixed with the mellow wine was refreshing.
There are many slender young women in cool clothes walking back and forth in the dining room holding exquisite wine bottles. They are like light and beautiful butterflies. Their soft and gentle words of persuading wine are so sweet that it is hard for most of the rough and bold diners to resist. The temptation of beauty and wine.
Wang Qirui and Xia Kai glanced at each other, "The food here must be very expensive!" Xia Kai muttered in a low voice, who would have thought that a restaurant that looked inconspicuous from the outside would be like this inside?
Wang Qirui smelled the aroma of food coming from the dining room, "Now that you're in, let's take a look at the menu. If it's very expensive, the worst we can do is order less."
Xia Kai and Wang Qirui had just chosen a remote location near the corner to sit down, when a waiter brought over a menu. There were two menus, one was a meal made with pre-apocalyptic ingredients, and the other was a meal made with post-apocalyptic ingredients. .
Steamed buns, rice, steamed buns, dumplings, even soy milk, fried dough sticks, tofu, all kinds of common home-cooked dishes before the apocalypse are all available. Of course, they are expensive. The cheapest white-flour steamed buns cost 20 work points each, and stir-fry dishes such as eggplant and pepper are expensive. Starting at 100, Wang Qirui was speechless.
Relatively speaking, the prices of the dishes on the other menu are much cheaper. Most of them are made from the meat of different types of monsters. A plate of barbecue only costs about six or seven minutes, and a large bowl of fragrant meat is filled with diced meat. Wild vegetable soup is only one work point.
In fact, monsters that have reached a certain level contain spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to the human body after being eaten. However, most of the monsters that can be easily hunted are those that have not yet entered the level, or are only first-level monsters, which have limited spiritual energy in their bodies and cooking methods. If not done properly, the spiritual energy will be lost, and there are endless monsters to kill in the wild. The sources are abundant. The fruits, vegetables and food that people were used to eating before the end of the world are now very rare, resulting in a huge price difference.
Wang Qirui and the others had five to six hundred work points in total. Each of them ordered two steamed buns, three plates of different types of barbecue, two portions of wild vegetable soup, and a plate of wild fruit called black pine cones.
"Kaikai, the taste of this barbecue is not as good as yours." Wang Qirui said with some disgust after eating a piece of barbecue.
"That's the good taste created by the barbecue ingredients given by Sister Rong. It's not my fault." Xia Kai bit into twenty-one white flour buns and ate them slowly.
The steamed buns are soft, sweet, and very delicious. Unfortunately, they are very small and can't be seen when pinched with your hands. For two adult men, eating two of these steamed buns is just a taste. Not enough to fit between teeth.
The waiters in the shop have the ability to observe people's emotions. Seeing that the two of them looked calm, their clothes were clean and tidy, and the weapons on the table were quite extraordinary, they paid special attention to them.
Seeing that they didn't seem very satisfied with the barbecue, he came over and asked, "Do you two have any other needs?"
"Bring me the menu from earlier!" Wang Qirui stood up and said when he saw someone at the next table looking over.
Xia Kai looked at Wang Qirui in surprise. They had just ordered two steamed buns each and had already spent 80. The total money they had on them was only more than 600.
The waiter agreed with a smile and went to get the menu.
"Arui, you..." Xia Kai frowned and looked at Wang Qirui.
"The plate of dumplings I saw just now is only a hundred. It's fifty for each of us. It's not expensive. Just come and try it. Besides, even if it's all spent, the worst is to go out to hunt monsters tomorrow. We have the ability. Are you still worried that you won't be able to make any money?" Wang Qirui said with a smile.
"..." Xia Kai was speechless. Did Wang Qirui forget that the two of them were not capable of teaming up alone to go out of the city to hunt monsters.
Wang Qirui not only ordered a portion of dumplings, but also ordered a portion of spicy and sour potato shreds, which cost them both half of their money.
Xia Kai felt a little distressed. He also wanted to buy some weapons and gifts for his family. It felt like it was not worth spending so much for a meal. However, Wang Qirui ordered it. He couldn't say that he should pay for it alone. .
After a while, steaming hot dumplings and a plate of evenly thick, oily shredded potatoes were served. Along with the food, there was a big red booklet.
Wang Qirui curiously opened the big red booklet.
"What is this?" Wang Qirui just opened the booklet, blushed, and immediately closed it. Even his voice was a little strange.
"What?" Xia Kai curiously went to get the booklet.
"Dignified customers who spend more than 300 yuan at a time in our store can choose any girl from this book to take away and return it after three days!" The waiter came over and said softly.
Xia Kai had just seen a portrait of a woman on the brochure, and when he heard the waiter's words, he shrank his hands in fright.
"Are you openly buying and selling people?" Xia Kai asked with an ugly face.
"How is that possible? This is a safe zone, under military control. Who dares to do such illegal things?" The waiter said with a smile without showing any signs of anger.
"Then what do you mean by what you just said?" Wang Qirui asked.
"Everyone in this brochure is voluntary. They are all free. No one is forcing them. Can you two understand this?" the waiter said politely.
"..."
"In this world, everyone has their own way of survival. Not everyone has the courage to step out of the safe zone and face the dangerous world outside." The waiter added.
