You must know that after the territory is promoted and the area is expanded, many people have to walk hundreds of meters to see the crowd gathering place of the territory when they return to the territory.

But now it's different.

Not only the taverns near the city walls have opened, but there are also several shops scattered in the commercial street next to it, and in front of these shops, there are crowds of people, all queuing up to buy something, and instantly bringing those who have come back into the hustle and bustle.

And when they came back, someone immediately greeted them.

"We opened our new store today, and all products are 20% off, are you interested in going and seeing?"

"Let's eat at our noodle restaurant! Jajang-miso noodles, beef noodles, consommé noodles, fried noodles, bibimbap noodles, you name it, it's a taste that you can't eat in restaurants."

"Our carpentry workshop is also open today, and if you buy 10 silver coins, you will have a chance to draw a lottery, and you will have a chance to get silver equipment."

"Hamburger, Chicken Fries, Miss? Exit the package price, only 20 copper coins, 20 copper coins! Don't miss it!"

「……」

All kinds of marketing advertisements blurted out from their mouths, directly making the returning people dream back to modern times, which is also a bit dazzling.

The shopping street and pub that only come out in the morning are opened in the evening.

This is too efficient!

However, after being stunned, many people became hungry, and the taste of memory began to attack the taste buds.

New store and new food, absolutely support!

"Let's go, let's see."

"It's been a long time since I've eaten noodles, so I'll go have a meal first."

"You order some noodles for me, and I'll buy a beer."

"Bring me a drink too, I haven't had it in a long time."

"I can eat them one by one, noodles, hamburgers and fries, children make choices, adults want everything!"

"Finally, I can eat more and more normal and delicious food."

"I'm just curious, is the taste much different from before?"

「……」

Hooking the corners of their lips, everyone walked to different shops according to their needs.

And the excitement of the residents has also clearly affected the n'n in the territory.

Although they don't need to eat, they hope that the food in the village is much better than what they ate when they were alive, so they occasionally go to restaurants to eat something to satisfy their hunger.

Because of the excitement here, they couldn't help but come around.

The undead n, led by Bayer Heidi, basically joined in without hesitation after watching it for a while, and then quickly circulated in the store with the flow of people, and they knew how delicious the food in Hope Village was.

If there is a new trick, they will definitely try it.

Unlike the undead, the orcs are recognized as picking doors in the territory, and they live their lives quite roughly, and they can spend money without spending money every day, so they never run to the shops and trading areas, because they can be out of sight, for fear that they will accidentally spend too much money.

But now, they were reluctant to move away, especially the fragrance that was not far away kept coming to the tip of their noses.

For the first time, I hated such a keen sense of smell.

O'Neill and the others spurned themselves fiercely in their hearts, forcing themselves to twist their way in the direction of home, and then hypnotized themselves in their minds to eat animal meat to fill their stomachs.

….

After all, if you accidentally eat too much, it will cost you a lot of money!

As if seeing their intentions, the staff in the crowd rolled their eyes, and then went back to the store to get the fried fries, which were served with ketchup, and stopped at O'Neill Lucas and the others.

"Today's price is very good, and most importantly, it is definitely food that you haven't eaten before, you can try it first, no money." The staff said enthusiastically.

Smelling the domineering smell in the distance, and then looking at the food in front of him that didn't need money, several pairs of paws stretched out.

"Just dip it in sauce and eat it."

O'Neill and the others did so and waited

When the food is eaten, I instantly feel a taste that I have never eaten before, sweet and sour, a little unaccustomed, but unexpectedly delicious.

"It's been a long time since the last time I ate, and it's okay to treat yourself to making so much money, haven't you saved a lot of money during this time?" Lucas couldn't help but say to O'Neill, convincing him, as if convincing himself.

"Okay! Let's go and see." O'Neill looked at the fries in front of him and followed without the slightest resistance.

Seeing this, the staff instantly enthusiastically led them over.

French fries + tomatoes, before the apocalypse, they were a perfect match, and now even more.

No one can resist their temptation.

A moment later.

A group of orcs also threw themselves into the arms of food.

"Burgers, give me ten more."

"Fried chicken, I want ten."

"Give me the fries...... Ten, no, twenty."

「……」

"Boom, I've eaten a lot of money."

"It's the same."

"Then will you come back tomorrow?"

"Forget it, let's eat! It's a big deal to fight some Warcraft in the future, as long as I make money quickly, it means that I don't spend any money."

「……」

The orcs who slammed the door also knelt down in front of the delicacies of the territory and sang and conquered.

I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth!

**

It was at this time that Zhou Bai came back.

Looking at the lively appearance of the territory, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.

But she was already mentally prepared.

Because after the store opened, she received the so-called tax from the territory, and along the way, there were constant reminders.

At that time, the official shops and trading areas of the territory were not able to have taxes, and she thought that the tax rate was a decoration, but she did not expect that it would be fulfilled in the commercial activities of the commercial street in the end.

On the commercial street, a total of five stores have opened at this time, and they are also the first five to rent shops, judging from the speed at which they opened stores, it is obvious that they have been prepared for a long time.

Thinking about it, Zhou Bai looked at the names of these five stores.

The first: the woodworking workshop.

The second room: noodle shop.

The third room: a burger joint

Fourth: Equipment shop

The fifth: convenience hall

In the first four rooms, Zhou Bai understood what their store was opening when he looked at the name, but in the fifth room, Zhou Bai really didn't guess it.

After thinking about it, Zhou Bai went to the fifth store.

As soon as you enter, you will see a variety of dried meat, vegetables, and dried fruits on both sides of the counter, and in addition to the whole portion, there are also those that are placed next to it for people to try.

….

And the most eye-catching thing should be the thing wrapped in a wide dry leaf in the middle, and it is impossible to see what is inside, but there are three words engraved on the wooden board on the side.

#方便面#

Awesome, my inhabitants.

seemed to have noticed Zhou Bai's gaze, and a clerk came over to greet him.

"Hehe, it's instant noodles, although the seasoning can't be compared with the previous ones, but with our boss's exclusive recipe, there are also vegetable packets, as long as you add a little hot water, you can mix and eat outside, you can also eat hot, the taste is absolutely good, if you want to save time and don't go back to eat, or go out to do things, this is a must, plus a little jerky, that's the best, the jerky in our store is also a unique secret recipe, all kinds of flavors are ......."

Under the fanciful touting of the clerks, Zhou Bai, who really missed the taste of instant noodles and hadn't eaten snacks for a long time, bought a lot directly, and then was sent out of the door in a daze.

The moment I went out, I reacted when I heard the clerk enthusiastically introduce another person who had just entered the door.

Then he laughed.

took out the jerky and nibbled on it, feeling the different taste and chewiness, Zhou Bai was not far from the shop

Waited in the distance.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw Ding Qiurou coming out of the territory, and the moment I saw Zhou Bai, I walked towards her and smiled, "I heard that several shops are opening here, so I thought about coming to the city gate to wait for you to eat with your father."

"I knew you were coming, so I'm waiting for you here." Zhou Bai also smiled.

Although now with everyone's busyness, there is less time together, but this meal in the evening, there are no special circumstances, they are all eaten together.

The two mothers and daughters looked at each other and smiled, and Zhou Bai then took out the jerky he had just bought and handed it to Ding Qiurou.

Ding Qiurou ate a slice, her eyes lit up, "This skill is good!"

"There are a lot of flavors! You can go buy some snacks when the time comes."

"Okay." Ding Qiurou took a sip.

And just as the two were chatting, Zhou Zhengping and his party came back.

At first glance, I also noticed the change in territory.

They had experienced a surprise outside, and they didn't expect to come back with an even bigger surprise.

Listening to the excitement of the chatter in the soldiers, Zhou Zhengping's eyes searched the crowd, and when he saw the two mothers and daughters waiting for him, a bright smile appeared on his face.

When I came back from a hard day, I felt that the fatigue was gone.

"I'm going to find my wife and daughter, you can do it yourself." Leaving Li Xingteng and the others, Zhou Zhengping walked towards Zhou Bai happily.

Looking at his figure, Li Xingteng's tears were a little envious, and then a little gloomy, and finally looked at the soldier beside him and said, "Let's go!"

A group of people instantly walked towards the shop with a sigh of rage.

It's a sight to kill them!

And Zhou Bai's family, who successfully gathered, discussed it and went to the noodle restaurant together.

The noodle restaurant is overcrowded, and in front of the window, several people are even more busy.

One person was making noodles on site, while two were cooking in front of two windows, and several others were entertaining guests on site.

There are several iron buckets in front of the two people in front of the window, and the fire is obviously burning below, several of which are boiled broth, exuding a strong fragrance, and the rest are buckets of clear water, throwing down the noodles that have been made, and then taking out the different flavors of soup from the side and pouring them on, with some various meats and side dishes that have been made on the table for a long time, a bowl of steaming noodles is baked.

….

Of course, in addition to the noodle soup, you can mix the noodles directly, which will be cheaper.

As for those who want more meat pieces, you can buy them extra.

It's no different from a pre-apocalyptic noodle shop.

The family of three couldn't wait to order a meal, and Zhou Bai ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles.

The clear soup noodles are boiled directly with bones and lean minced meat, and the soup is very white, but it is also very tasty.

Tasting the noodles, Zhou Bai's expression was indescribably satisfied.

After the noodle restaurant came out, Zhou Bai's family of three bought some food at the hamburger restaurant next door, and after packing, they didn't leave in a hurry, but wandered around the woodworking workshop and equipment store.

Obviously, even if there are still few shops now, it does not delay them from enjoying this long-lost shopping time.

"In the future, there will be more and more shops, and even if you don't go out, you will have a way to go, and the night in the territory will be lively in the future." Ding Qiurou said, also looking forward to it.

Just as the words fell, Zhou Bai received several notifications one after another.

[Dear host, your shops 1-10 have been rented out. 】

[Dear host, your shops 1-12 have been rented out. 】

【……】

Looking at the taverns and shops that were still very lively, Zhou Bai guessed why he suddenly rented out so many shops.

It's all stimulated by these!

Zhou Bai chuckled, and then said in a low voice: "No need to do it later, there will be a big wave tomorrow, just a short time, more than a dozen shops have been rented."

"That's just right, I'll have to go shopping even more in the future! Speaking of which, though

, there are really a lot of talents in the territory! Jerky, ketchup, burgers...... It's all handiwork, and I can't get it anyway, but before the stalls could sell it, and no one seemed to sell these foods, and they were mainly daily necessities."

"Maybe there wasn't a good time before! First it was a territorial war, and then it was a big guy who was promoted to a professional, and after he finally got on the right track, it snowed again, and everyone couldn't go out, and then the snow was over, and it was a territorial promotion, and it was a beast tide test...... Now that it's all over, and the territory has provided them with opportunities, it will naturally spring up like mushrooms after a rain." Zhou Zhengping glanced at Zhou Bai on the side and said, recalling, he really pinched a cold sweat for Xiaobai.

The doomsday game has come for a month, and it is really busy, and there is no relaxation for a moment.

Zhou Bai listened, and also felt that the past month had been so difficult, but fortunately, it had all passed.

Before, they were all trying to survive.

Now, when the needs of survival are basically satisfied, it is natural to want a higher level of enjoyment.

The appearance of these shops is really the right time and place.

So, it's worth the hard work this month.

At the point where it is now, even if the novice protection period ends tomorrow and there is a new impact, she feels that both the territory and the residents in the territory should be able to withstand the changes.

I just don't know, what will be the change tomorrow?

A summer of joy
