Chapter 6 Filling one's stomach is the most important thing
The first ray of sunlight in the morning came through the window and shone directly on Shen Lu's eyelids.
"Well..."
The girl groaned and reluctantly opened her eyes.
The air was filled with an inexplicable unpleasant smell, and the narrow, simple, dilapidated and dark iron house, well, the dream did not come true, she was still in this wasteland world.
After sleeping on the sofa all night, with soreness oozing from the joints of his bones, Shen Lu stood up and briefly moved his muscles, then went to the bathroom to wash up out of habit.
When her fingers touched the door handle, she paused.
Wash her with a hammer. Where is there clean water here for her to wash?
And this rental house has only one room and no bathroom at all.
Shen Lu hissed, and his understanding of the world became deeper.
Not to mention the original owner, she couldn't live a poor life, so she had to seize the time to make money and improve her living conditions.
Shen Lu pulled his hair, combed it with his fingers, and went out.
She was too tired yesterday. She went to bed directly after renting the house without buying tools. She woke up early today and happened to go buy tools to pick up more garbage and exchange for more ingredients.
When he arrived at a shabby grocery store, Shen Lu spent 50 stars to buy a few handy tools and casually asked the boss if there was a place to buy food nearby.
“Buying groceries?” The boss smiled, “Are you kidding me? How can there be a place to buy groceries in the 17th block?”
Only in the upper city are there places to buy groceries. In this place, only the upper class have the ability to buy groceries.
Shen Lu just gave it a try to see if there was another way to get the ingredients.
The original owner has always lived in the upper city area, which is the area where the upper class citizens live. He has never been to a place like the 17th Street Block, and he does not understand the situation here.
It seems that apart from picking up trash, she has no other place to get food for the time being.
Shen Lu took the tools, covered his mouth and nose with the skirt he tore off yesterday, and plunged into the No. 3 garbage dump.
Because I came early, there were not many people at the garbage dump.
Shen Lu turned on the detection tool and carefully explored the piles of metal garbage.
Among the tools I bought, the most expensive one is this detector, which can detect some relatively precious metals, such as gold, silver, tungsten wire, magnesium strips, etc.
Steel plate systems with good quality are also available, but the value is low. 10,000 grams can be exchanged for three kilograms of flour.
Shen Lu has already thought about what he will sell today. He must have mint water, and he must also use the egg waffle machine he just got yesterday.
There is a special egg powder in the mall. The system says that 500 grams of tungsten wire can be exchanged for two pounds of egg powder.
One pound of egg waffle powder can make ten egg waffles, and two kilograms is twenty. Shen Lu plans to sell one for 40 star coins, and twenty is 800 star coins.
This business without capital is quite fun, and the profit earned is the net profit.
Shen Lu was in a good mood, and his movements of picking up garbage became much brisker.
With the help of tools, the efficiency was greatly improved. In less than three hours, the metal Shen Lu picked up was replaced with half a bucket of water, a handful of mint, a fingernail's worth of sugar, and a two-pound bag of Egg powder, and a plastic basin for making batter.
Shen Lu first stored the ingredients in the system's temporary backpack, then symbolically picked up a few pieces of iron and left the No. 3 garbage dump.
Returning to the rental house in a hurry, Shen Lu carefully closed the doors and windows, and took some water to wash himself briefly. He did not throw away the waste water, but poured it into an iron bucket that was already in the house.
Make the egg waffle batter and set it aside to rest for a while. Shen Lu patted the mint, threw it into the bucket, sprinkled it with sugar, and the mint water was finished.
Taking out the egg waffle machine, Shen Lu read the instructions. This thing is quite high-tech and can be charged by solar energy, which saved her a lot of trouble.
After leaving it on the window to dry in the sun for five minutes, the red light of the egg waffle machine turned to green, indicating that charging was complete.
The egg waffle batter has also rested. Shen Lu happily poured some batter onto the heated egg waffle machine, closed the lid and waited for the egg waffles to become cooked.
Within two minutes, the rich sweet fragrance filled the whole room and slipped out through the crack in the door.
People living nearby smelled the aroma and sniffed involuntarily, with surprise on their faces.
“Is someone making food?”
"How is this possible? People who live here don't have any star coins to buy ingredients. An egg costs 100 star coins!"
"It's... the smell of egg waffles." A white-haired man The old man showed a nostalgic look, "When I was a child, I once had it. It was fragrant and sweet, and it was especially delicious with chocolate sauce and fruit..."
Shen Lu waited patiently for the egg waffle machine to come out. With a ding sound, you open the lid. The round shape is particularly plump and cute.
Shen Lu's stomach growled immediately. From the time she passed through to now, he drank two glasses of mint water and didn't eat anything to fill his stomach.
Now that the first egg waffle is out of the oven, of course I eat it myself, but also try the new product to see if there is anything that needs improvement.
He took a glass of ice and scooped out a glass of mint water. Shen Lu took a sip first. The cool mint flavor instantly exploded in his mouth, which was particularly refreshing and refreshing.
After blowing on the steaming egg waffle, Shen Lu tore off a piece and couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.
The slightly crispy outer shell, the soft inside, and the strong aroma of the cake spread out, which is particularly warm to the heart and soothes the empty stomach.
Shen Lu finished one egg waffle in three strokes, five by two, and immediately made the next one.
Put aside making money first, filling your own stomach is the most important thing.
After eating another half, Shen Lu was finally full. It was hard to sell the remaining half. She thought about it, soaked the egg waffles in mint water, and fed them to Fucheng bit by bit.
“I feed you because you saved my life yesterday.”
“It’s also a shame that I’m so courageous and won’t be fooled by you. The mutilated appearance was frightening.”
“Fucheng, if you succeed in the future, you must remember my kindness.”
Shen Lu rambled and said something. No, it was basically just a mouthful, and I didn’t expect Fucheng to hear it.
After all, she had never seen Fucheng open his eyes, so she guessed that he was unaware of what was happening now.
"Okay, I've finished feeding." She put down the cup, "Logically, I should send you to the hospital for treatment, but I don't have that much money now, so I can only do this for now."
"You just lie down in the room today, I'm going out to make money."
Shen Lu picked up the bucket, put away the ice cup, took the iron bench and the egg waffle machine and went out. Just as she opened the door When he was sleeping, the man lying on the bed raised his fingers slightly.
He heard it.
He heard every word of what Shen Lu said.
Fucheng wanted to answer her. He would remember her kindness and if he could survive, he would definitely repay her.
Also, what exactly was the thing that Shen Lu fed him? It tasted weird, but it was delicious, and it had a certain soothing effect on his spiritual sea, otherwise he wouldn’t be here. Time to withdraw from semi-sleep state.
