Section 223 Jade
In the evening, Chen Xing drove the gun truck back to the edge of the city's ruins.
Fearing that the bones would be ambushed near the truck, Chen Xing asked Cassie to stay in the car to protect the girls, and he got out of the car and walked into the ruins to investigate.
The orange-red sunset shone obliquely on the collapsed building, adding a bit of loneliness. Looking at the table below, it is now five o'clock and ten o'clock, and there are still two hours of sunshine. Climbing up a half-collapsed high-rise building, Chen Xing observed with a telescope for a while, and after making sure that there was no danger, he continued to walk.
Sure enough, General Bones stayed near the supply truck. It was hidden behind a boulder, but it revealed half of its bony feet wearing cloth shoes, allowing Chen Xing to find out.
"Click!"
Chen Xing loaded the bullets, aimed at the bones and feet, and launched a charged shot. The bullet hit the bone foot, and the skeleton general rushed out of the bunker, and the big sword in his hand swung in the direction of Chen Xing, and the bones hidden everywhere poured out.
Chen Xing put away his gun and ran, and the bones chased after him for a while, and left without seeing him. Then, Chen Xing ran back to the outside and drove in the gun truck, repeating the trick. Machine guns and cannons, running while fighting. Perhaps annoyed by him, or perhaps the little wisdom he had left to work, two rounds later, the Skeleton General left with his troops.
After making sure it was safe, Chen Xing drove the gun truck to the side of the material truck.
"The circuit is burning."
After some inspection, Cassie determined that the circuit board was short-circuited due to overheating. Second-hand goods are unreliable and break down at any time. However, the truck is a diesel vehicle, which cannot drive the fire with electric energy, and can also be operated manually. Flip out the starting lever in the toolbox, open the lid, insert it into the rotating hole, and stir vigorously. The engine made a "thud-thump" sound and spun around.
Then the group drove back to the relative safety of the wasteland.
It was late in the night, and the five women prepared dinner, and Chen Xing and Cassie overhauled the machinery to replenish ammunition and fuel.
More than 3,000 rounds of machine-gun bullets and more than 40 shells were fired today, half of which was consumed. The result was that the fastest cavalry was defeated, the archers and samurai killed a third, and the general did not knock out a single one.
The defensive ability of this skeleton general is really terrifying, and it is difficult to eliminate unless there is a strong man at the town guard level, or a mecha squad. However, halfway through the matter, there is no reason to give up, so you can only bite the bullet and consume it slowly.
The smell of meat wafted over, and when he turned his head, Su Muzhu was holding his waist with one hand and a big scoop in the other, stirring the messy stew in the pot. There are cabbage, tofu, mushrooms, luncheon meat, chili peppers, etc., and the soup is reddish and fragrant.
Chen Xing couldn't help but think that in fact, it was not bad for their mother and daughter to open a restaurant, and there was no need to do this skin and meat industry at all. Su Muzhu's cooking skills are still good, and she ate a lot in Nuanxinlou some time ago. But then again, the income of the cook is only ten or twenty gold coins a month, which is not as good as the income of the warblers who open their thighs for a night.
Although thinking so, Chen Xing still leaned over and said his thoughts, "It tastes good, when you get to Monitor Lizard City, you can consider opening an Eastern Continent restaurant." ”
"Open a restaurant?" Su Muzhu glared at Chen Xing, "Do you invest?" ”
Chen Xing blinked, "How much?" ”
"Transfer fees, rent, half a year's deposit, decoration fees, kitchen equipment, management fees, ......" Su Muzhu stretched out five fingers, "at least five thousand gold coins." ”
"Is it that expensive?" Chen Xing was a little unconvinced. On Earth, 5,000 gold coins is 5 million.
"That's monitor lizard city, the capital of the principality, and the house price is three times that of Raven City." Su Muzhu sighed and looked down at the messy stew in the pot, "And at my level, it's okay to cook for you prodigals, and it's ...... for those rich people."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Chen Xing also understood. The people living in monitor lizard city are all from the wealthy class, how can they be used to eating this kind of country cuisine. Even if Chen Xing is particular about eating, it is only the way to eat at the bottom. You know, he didn't make much money in his first two lives, and there was too little to eat.
He has also heard that the best food in the world is the swim bladder of the Dead Sea white shark, the cartilage of the deep-sea electric eel, the meat of the abyssal fire cow, the liver of the black swan, the claw of the great snow bear, the honey of the desert bee, and the skin of the rocky mountain python......
But he had never seen any of this except in magazines. Su Muzhu, who was born in the wilderness, how could he do it? Of course, these middle-class people may not be able to afford to eat, but to open a restaurant in Monitor Lizard City, Su Muzhu's level is definitely not enough.
Chen Xing suddenly remembered if he could introduce them to the Beiqiao Group and help Hua Beidou cook. But he quickly denied it, not to mention whether Su Muzhu would agree, or whether Yeyang Bailiu would be jealous, the Beiqiao group went south and north, how could ordinary women stand it?
Besides, this is not the life that their mother and daughter want. Some time ago, he also heard Su Xuefei say that he hadn't played the piano for a long time and missed her Hualoz piano very much.
"It's time to eat!"
Su Muzhu roared at the top of her throat, and the picnic began. The canvas ripped from the car was laid on the floor, the long baked noodles were packed in rattan baskets, butter and jam were placed next to them, fresh fruits and vegetables were served on large plates with white salad dressing, and canned tuna, braised pork, and so on.
The big messy stew is served in its own food box, and the broth has a faint aroma. Chen Xing washed his hands with water, broke half of the bread, and ate it with broth, which was very appetizing.
"It's been a hard day, let's eat some fish." Su Xuefei sandwiched a piece of tuna for Chen Xing, but Su Muzhu glared at her and lowered her head.
Chen Xing casually took out a few pieces of jade jewelry from the backpack placed next to him, and threw them one by one.
"What did this come from?" "It looks so pretty." "It's very good." The three warblers fiddled with the jade ornaments, looking very curious.
"It's really useless, a few broken stones can trick you around." Su Muzhu said disdainfully, but secretly stuffed the one assigned to her into her pocket.
"What is this?" Looking at the emerald pea pendant in her palm, Su Xuefei turned her head and asked puzzledly. The one assigned to her was the most beautiful, although she had never seen it before, and she didn't know the value, but she instinctively gave birth to a feeling of affection.
Just like when foreigners crossed the ocean and arrived in Guhua, they saw jade for the first time. Like the artifacts of the legendary Mayan civilization, human beings have an interconnected concept of beauty. But anything valuable, even if it comes from a completely alien civilization, will still be loved.
"It's jadeite." Chen Xing said.
"Emerald?" Su Xuefei muttered.
"This thing needs to be put away, it may not be able to sell for a price now, but it will be very valuable in the future." Chen Xing said seriously.
"Really?" Su Muzhu looked suspicious, took it out of her pocket, and looked at it carefully. It was a jade copper coin, green and yellow, carved dragon and phoenix, and the workmanship was extremely fine.
"Believe it or not." Chen Xing said angrily, he was really kind to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
"Well, I believe you." Su Xuefei said obediently, attracting a roll of her mother's eyes. The three warblers snickered and put away the jade ornaments.
"Hey, hey, Mr. Qin, what's going on with mine?" The little black man asked anxiously, everyone has it, but he doesn't.
"Wait until you get in, find it yourself." Chen Xing waved his hand, acting like chasing flies.
"Mr. Qin, I found out that you are a bad guy who is heavy on sex and light on friends, you really ......" Cassie said very unhappily.
