Chapter 3: Escape from Longevity Island (3)

The clerk jumped three feet high, screaming louder than Xu Zhao, and the clerk had two or three other customers, who panicked when they heard the shouting.

Just wait for this moment!

Xu Zhao quickly took out the garbage bag, put the pile of concealer inside, and smoothly brought in the pile of beauty makeup next to him.

"What are you doing?"

Worst.

was discovered.

The clerk rushed to Xu Zhao, and Xu Zhao hurriedly stuffed the garbage bag into the cabinet next to him.

The clerk pointed at her, "What do you have in your hand?" ”

Xu Zhao mobilized his consciousness, and the garbage bag containing a pile of cosmetics disappeared, and then he showed her his hand covered with white paint, "I'll just help pick it up,"

The clerk was attracted by her white hand, "Your hand ......"

Xu Zhao stood up, put his hand in his pocket, and said indignantly: "My brother's prank." ”

As she spoke, she walked out, and the clerk called out to her again, "Madam, your twenty bottles ......."

Xu Zhao had already walked to the door, "I forgot to bring the money, I'll go back and get it now." ”

When he left the clerk's sight, he ran away.

Faintly hearing the clerk behind him shouting to catch the thief, Xu Zhao ran faster.

As the night darkens, residents are returning home to rest, but the street restaurants are still lively.

Xu Zhao dragged his hungry legs to a restaurant called Changshou Restaurant.

When she saw the word longevity, her eyes lit up.

Longevity Restaurant, Longevity Island, should be related, right?

She might be able to find some clues.

The longevity restaurant is very lively, the seats are full, the tables are set at the door, and the owner of the restaurant greets the guests while urging the staff to hurry up.

Xu Zhao watched for two minutes, and after observing which one was the boss, he pinched his thighs suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes, and he went straight over.

"Boss, Iβ€”Can I help you for two hours and then change to a bowl of noodles?" I was kicked out by my stepmother and starved for a day......"

As he spoke, Xu Zhao's tears fell.

She is tender-faced, and it is not reluctant to say that she is a high school student.

The boss looked at her thin arms and legs with some disgust, "What will you do?" I don't want to help you. ”

Xu Zhao's family background is ordinary, she used to work as a summer vacation worker in school, and twice worked as a waiter in a restaurant, she has a little experience.

She didn't talk nonsense, she saw a table of guests next to her finish eating, so she went over to clean up, pulled the cart, and packed the dishes on the table into the cart in a few clicks, and changed the dinner cloth.

The boss nodded, "Yes, you clean up the table and serve the food." ”

Xu Zhao cleaned up the two tables and returned to the kitchen, and asked the chef for two steamed buns to eat, before he felt alive.

Pretending to tidy up the trays, she went to see the finished dishes, including chicken porridge, steamed fish, fried pork slices, iron plate shrimp, fried noodles, etc., and found that all of these dishes had a taste of red vegetables mixed in.

"Look, hurry up, bring the food out." The head chef glared at him, "Longevity dishes should be eaten while they are hot." ”

Xu Zhao hurriedly responded, read the list, and served the food quickly.

"Guest, the longevity lobster, longevity seafood porridge, longevity seafood cake you ordered......"

At this table sat two men and a woman, dressed in strange fashions, one with strips of cloth wrapped around his arms and neck, one man in a women's blouse and women's mopping pants, and a woman in a long trench coat that was bare from head to toe on a hot day.

Xu Zhao glanced at their hands vaguely, two of them were wearing gloves, and one was dyed black.

"Beauty, can your longevity dishes here really make people live longer?" The man wrapped in the cloth called out to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao didn't know where she knew, but she didn't show it, and smiled: "Of course, otherwise why would so many people come to eat." ”

"This is a longevity dish? Where does longevity grow in longevity? The cloth strip man asked, pointing to the red vegetables.

Xu Zhao also thought that this was a longevity dish, but she didn't dare to guarantee it, she learned to draw the little boy, and looked at the cloth man fixedly: "You are not a local?" ”

The woman in the dress glared at the cloth man, and hurriedly explained: "We are locals, he just drank too much, nonsense, of course we know where the longevity food is." ”

Didn't even drink too much?

There is no doubt that these three people are outsiders.

Xu Zhao took the tray and left.

He turned around and returned to the three men, pricking up his ears to listen to them as he cleaned up the table next to him.

"Brother Zhao, I think there must be clues here." The woman said in a low voice.

"Be quiet, didn't I tell you that sometimes NPCs kill people, and Lin Gang was reckless just now." Brother Zhao is a woman dressed as a man, he first made a prestige, and then said: "Wait a minute, let's pretend that we don't have the money to pay, stay and pay off the debt with work, and then find a chance to find the purchase order of longevity vegetables." ”

Lin Gang, the cloth strip man, whispered: "We don't have any money. ”

Brother Zhao glared at him.

Lin Gang quickly closed his mouth, Brother Zhao had already entered the copy twice, and it was right to listen to him.

"Who is that, the kitchen is not staffed, you go in and help wash the vegetables." The boss walked over and said to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao could only give up eavesdropping and returned to the kitchen.

The content of the chat between the three people, she only vaguely heard a few words, and put it together, the three of them are also gamers.

It stands to reason that she's a newcomer who doesn't know anything other than the topic of a dungeon, and she should join a group with other players.

However, reason told her that it was better not to, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention this kind of life and death game, at a critical time, it is not impossible to be pushed out to prevent disasters.

Xu Zhao, who has worked for two years, already knows that the world is sinister.

The dishes that the boss asked to wash were mainly longevity dishes, and Xu Zhao finally saw the prototype of this dish.

This dish is as long as a finger, from the rhizome to the leaves are red, the roots and vegetables are with a lot of sand, it is difficult to rinse directly clean, and it has to be manually cleaned one by one.

From this, it can be seen that this longevity vegetable grows in the sand.

There are also two eldest sisters who wash this longevity dish with Xu Zhao.

first talked about his tragic life experience with the eldest sisters for a while, and then cut to the chase.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I still want to go to school, but my family doesn't give me living expenses, so it would be nice if I could go picking longevity vegetables with me......"

She looked at the menu just now, and the dishes in this restaurant include longevity dishes and those without longevity dishes, and the price of longevity dishes is ten times higher than the price of not adding longevity dishes.

The bun Xu Zhao ate just now didn't add longevity dishes, and it tasted good.

The dishes with longevity dishes are added, and the boss is reluctant to give them to the employees.

Xu Zhao thought that he was penniless and couldn't even eat.

I also quietly hid some buns, beef jerky or something, and put them in the garbage bag in my consciousness.

Far from it.

"Where to pick longevity vegetables manually? You're not afraid of being bitten either, and now it's all on machines. If you dare to take a chance, you might as well catch longevity fish. A long-faced eldest sister said.

What? Another longevity fish?

And this long-lived fish sounds dangerous.

Xu Zhao's face was hesitant and tangled.

Another round-faced eldest sister said: "Don't instigate Xiao Xu, you have to take this life if you don't do it." ”

"High risk and high reward, my neighbor's young man made a longevity fish not long ago, and immediately booked a house in the Sunshine Community." The long-faced eldest sister said.

Xu Zhao was excited when he heard this, "I, I want to try it too, I don't know if anyone is willing to take me?" If he succeeds in catching a long-lived fish, I will give him a 20% reward. ”

The round-faced eldest sister advised: "Xiao Xu, don't think about the benefits, how many people die on Longevity Beach every year?" It's not that you don't know. The sand there is red, and it is said that it is all stained red with human blood. ”

The long-faced eldest sister's eyes flashed slightly, "That's a person who has no way to do that, and my neighbor's young man has a way." ”

Xu Zhao was like a young man who was dazzled by money, and hurriedly asked the long-faced eldest sister for contact information.

As soon as she wrote down her phone number, there was a commotion outside, and someone shouted "hit someone".

Xu Zhao immediately thought of the three players, and they were alive.
