Chapter 320: Mushroom Meal
Jiao Bai nodded and said, "Maybe you can also see that it is the first time I have come to Houling Town, and my eyes are black here." In this way, Xu Ping, I hired you to be my guide, and the reward is a bag of rice, what do you think? ”
Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, nodded vigorously, and said: "No problem, I have lived here since the establishment of the station in Houling Town, and I know the roads and shops here very well, and I will definitely be able to do this guide job." ”
Jiao Bai: "You haven't had breakfast yet, let's go downstairs to eat first, and then go shopping on the street." ”
"Okay, thank you, sir!"
After that, Xu Ping respectfully followed Jiao Bai downstairs and entered the restaurant together.
After finding an empty seat and sitting down, Jiao Bai ordered two servings of roasted mushrooms, one braised pork made of mutant beast meat, and two servings of mushroom soup. In fact, Jiao Bai had already eaten breakfast on Earth, and he couldn't eat much now, but he saw that the dishes on the broadcast were relatively unusual, so he ordered one more and wanted to try it.
The grilled mushrooms, which are the staple food, are shaped like elder oyster mushrooms, with very thick stems and coarse fibers, but not too difficult to chew, and taste a bit like toasted bread. The mushroom soup is a kind of mushroom similar to matsutake mushrooms, the whole is golden yellow, very large, and the mushroom soup boiled out is very delicious, and the taste is better than the wild matsutake mushrooms on the earth.
Seeing what to eat, Xu Ping also forgot to be restrained, picked up a roasted mushroom, tore and chewed it in a big gulp, and ate it much faster than burnt white. Occasionally, when she ate violently and choked on mushrooms, she drank a mouthful of soup and sent it down, and then continued to eat. The plate of fried golden and fragrant mutant beast meat, Xu Ping didn't move.
Jiao Bai pushed the braised pork in front of Xu Ping and said, "I'm not too hungry, just drink a bowl of soup, you can eat this plate of braised pork." ”
Hearing this, Xu Ping stopped chewing, looked up at Jiao Bai in surprise, and when he found that he didn't seem to be joking, he looked at the plate of barbecue, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said, "My lord, this is mutant beast meat, very precious, I can't eat it." ”
Jiao Bai smiled and said: "When I stayed in the hotel yesterday, I paid the room fee with a second-level crystal, which was enough to stay for half a month, and I only wanted to live here for three months." I just ordered with the boss, and the balance of the cost was transferred to today's breakfast. I can't eat it, and if you don't eat it, then this plate of braised pork will be wasted. ”
Xu Ping was entangled for a moment, and then said, "Then, thank you, adult!" ”
With a white chin, he took out a mushroom from the soup and asked curiously, "I see that most of the people in the restaurant take mushrooms as their staple food, where do these mushrooms come from?" ”
Xu Ping seems to have not eaten meat for a long time, she eats very seriously, picks up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, puts it in her mouth, chews and tastes it carefully, the expression on her face seems to be enjoying, as if she is moved, and she is a little uncomfortable, her eyes are red, and tears are rolling in her eyes. Hearing Jiao Bai's question, Xu Ping calmed down her emotions for a while, and then replied:
"These mushrooms are provided by the Sea Gang, one of the three major forces in Leizhou City, and their station is a pre-apocalyptic pharmaceutical factory, with a lot of petri dishes and culture liquids for cultivating various fungi. The Sea Gang recruited some biologists and used these petri dishes to grow a lot of edible mushrooms to meet their needs, and sold the surplus in exchange for some supplies they needed. ”
Hearing the Sea Gang again, Jiao Bai was quite surprised. In Wu Qingwan's mouth, the Sea Gang is a selfish and evil-minded evolutionary organization. And here in Xu Ping, Jiao Bai heard the other side of the Haigang, they were able to organize a group of biologists in the bad environment of the last days, and cultivated countless mushrooms to eat and exchange for supplies. This makes the leadership of the Minghai Gang still very far-sighted, not a short-sighted person.
After eating nearly half of a breakfast, Jiao Bai also nibbled on two bites of grilled mushrooms, drank a bowl of mushroom soup, and the rest of the time, he asked Xu Ping a lot of news related to Houling Town. Xu Ping couldn't eat anymore, so she stopped. It's a pity that her meal is not much, and there are at least half a catty of roasted mushrooms left on the dinner table, and most of the braised pork is left.
Xu Ping blushed and was a little embarrassed: "My lord, can I pack and take away the rest of the food?" ”
Jiao Bai bowed his head and said, "Of course you can, staying here is not cheap for others." ”
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness."
Xu Ping stood up, bowed to Jiao Bai seriously, and then took out a plastic bag from the backpack he was carrying, and poured all the roasted mushrooms and braised pork into it. Jiao Bai sat across the table and saw very clearly that the plastic bag was very old, and the handwriting printed on it had long been blurred, but the inside was very clean by Xu Ping. At that moment, Jiao Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This is really a careful woman!" ”
After breakfast, Jiao Bai and Xu Ping walked out of the homesick inn together and came to the street. Xu Ping proposed to send the packaged food home first. Jiao Bai didn't have any specific destination, but he just wanted to wander around the street casually, and when he heard Xu Ping's request, he casually agreed.
Xu Ping was in front and Jiao Bai was behind, and the two walked out along a narrow street together. The location is getting more and more remote, the streets are getting dirtier and dirtier, the people who come and go are unkempt, and there is no longer a single evolutionary to be seen.
Jiao Bai frowned and asked, "Why do you live in such a remote place, it's almost to the edge of the town, it's too dangerous." In case a zombie mutant beast comes, the first one to attack is this side, how can you ordinary people stop it? ”
Xu Ping smiled bitterly and said: "We ordinary people have no money and no power, and our strength is even more scum, it would be good to have a place to stay, how can we still pick a position." ”
The two walked to the end of the street, then turned into an alley, and walked forward for dozens of meters, finally arriving at Xu Ping's house. The house is a three-room stone bungalow, which is not good-looking, but fortunately, when the masonry is built, the adhesive is cement, and the degree of solidity is still guaranteed. In front of the room, a simple courtyard is surrounded by logs more than one meter high, and the simple fence can block the eyes of peeping outside, and there is no protection at all.
"Bingbing, Bingbing, come out and see what Mom has brought you back?"
With Xu Ping's shout, a girl with yellow hair opened the door and ran out. The girl is only four or five years old, very thin, her complexion is not too good, only a pair of eyes, simple and clear.
The girl ran a few steps, and then threw herself into Xu Ping's arms, her eyes were red, and tears fell down her eyes. :,,,
