Chapter 14 How long has it been since she saw such a lively little girl
Pour water into one of the compartments of the spicy hot pot machine, choose a spicy soup base, drag it in, and turn up the heat.
The red soup base is boiling. Shen Lu puts the hard-to-cook beef balls and bean paste in first and cooks them. When they are almost cooked, he adds the vermicelli and lettuce.
The aroma of Malatang is not as overbearing as the egg waffles, but more exciting. The aroma floats out along the doors and windows, and the residents living nearby are once again hit hard.
“Damn it, who is eating delicious food at home every day?! How can you still have money to eat such good food when you live in the 17th Street District?”
“No. It’s so unreasonable!”
“Fuck, I can’t stand it anymore, I’m going to find this person!”
“Okay, didn’t you see it’s getting dark outside? ? Forgot about the death last night? You don’t want your own life anymore?”
……
Shen Lu didn’t know what kind of trouble he had caused, but she knew. It wouldn't matter if she died, she would be popular based on her own ability, and they could do it if they had the ability.
Anyway, it’s not that there is no food here, it’s just that the cost of cultivation is very high and the price is so expensive that ordinary people can’t afford it.
There are a lot of ingredients, and there are two big bowls of it.
Shen Lu overestimated her appetite. She was full after just one bowl, and spicy food was not easy to feed Fucheng.
She thought for a moment, put the extra Malatang in the bucket, and closed the lid so that others could not see it and also covered most of the smell.
Shen Lu went out with an anti-wolf stick in his left hand and a bucket in his right hand. Several street lights outside were broken and no one had repaired them. Fortunately, the moonlight was strong and did not delay his walking.
Turn left and walk less than ten meters, Shen Lu gently knocked on the door.
"Grandma Jin, are you there?"
There was a faint light in the room, and after a few seconds, Grandma Jin's voice sounded.
“Is something wrong?”
“Well, can I come in?”
The door opened, and Granny Jin's old face with deep grooves appeared, "Come in."
Shen Lu entered the house, and Granny Jin immediately closed the door.
"It's late at night, why don't you stay in the house and come out to seek death?"
Shen Lu didn't care too much about Granny Jin's dissatisfied tone. She also knew she shouldn't come out at night, but this It's not that close, it won't even take a minute if you walk faster.
"I want to give you something."
"No, you keep it for yourself." Granny Jin refused without even thinking. She vaguely guessed what Shen Lu was thinking, which was nothing more than thanks. Morning thing.
Shen Lu opened the lid of the bucket, and the spicy aroma suddenly rushed out, "I made too much, and my brother and I can't finish it. If you don't mind, you can have a taste."
Grandma Jin looked at the bucket in disbelief, and then slowly moved her gaze to Shen Lu's face: "Who are you?"
She could tell from Shen Lu's dress that she was not ordinary. The girl who lives in the 17th neighborhood must have encountered a big change.
But she had no intention of finding out.
As people get older, they no longer gossip like they did when they were young. The only thing she thinks about now is to hold on to her rental house and spend her old age without illness or disaster.
“Me?” Shen Lu tugged at his lips, “A person who works hard to live a good life.”
“Do you know how many star coins this bowl of stuff can sell for?” Grandma Jin unconsciously raised her voice and said, "A green leafy vegetable costs thousands of stars, let alone other food. You..."
Why do you still live here when you can afford such expensive food? Seventeenth Street?
Grandma Jin had the illusion that she was being tricked.
But Shen Lu had no reason to play tricks on her. They didn't know each other before.
The original owner had never been to the vegetable market. Shen Lu had just entered this world and had been wandering around the 17th Street Street. He didn't know the vegetable prices.
She knew that ingredients would be expensive here, but she didn’t expect them to be so expensive.
"I just want to thank you." Shen Lu said about his original intention, "Grandma Jin, you don't have to feel burdened."
"Then I'm not welcome." Jin The mother-in-law bent down and took out the spicy hot pot. Speaking of which, when was the last time she had decent food? Ten years ago?
Or twenty years ago?
So long that she can’t even remember it.
Grandma Jin found the metal chopsticks that had not been used for a long time, wiped them casually with the hem of her clothes, and picked up a meatball.
The beef balls are exuding heat, mixed with the aroma of meat and spicy flavor, which is particularly tempting.
Grandma Jin blew on it and took a bite. The soup wrapped in the meatballs burst out and burned the roof of her mouth.
But more of the beef is delicious.
Even if it was hot, Grandma Jin did not spit it out. She endured the burning sensation and chewed and tasted it carefully.
Shen Lu sat down opposite Granny Jin, held her chin in her hands and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
She had tasted it herself, and it tasted quite good. material, it will be even better.
But Shen Lu didn’t buy it. It was harmful. If you can save it, save it. It’s not that it’s not delicious.
“It’s delicious.” Granny Jin’s eyebrows widened. She didn’t expect to have a mouthful of fresh and hot food at this age. “Thank you.”
“As a courtesy, if it weren’t for your help this morning , I don’t even know how to deal with those people.”
“No need to deal with it.” Granny Jin blew her balls a little longer this time, “You may not know that the bodies were also recovered.”
"Huh?" Shen Lu was surprised, "Recycling the corpse?"
Grandma Jin didn't mind discussing this during the meal, "Yes, according to the research report of the Imperial City Institute of Biology, the corpse has been decomposed and fermented. It is a very good fertilizer. Plants cannot be grown in the wild land, but the soil carefully cultivated by the research institute can. The fertilizer made by fermenting corpses can replenish the elements that the soil lacks. I don’t know the details. I have only heard about it occasionally. One ear. "
Shen Lu's eyes widened, and his outlook was severely impacted.
Who dares to eat vegetables grown with fertilizers made from corpses?
But people here not only dare to eat it, they even sell it at a high price.
“Haha.” Grandma Jin was amused by her appearance, “Is this kind of thing difficult to accept?”
"Hmm..."
"Then do you know what the earthy nutrient solution is made of?" Granny Jin suddenly had a bad taste.
"You won't tell me what it is made of, right?" Shen Lu frowned more and more.
"That's not true." Granny Jin asked the fans, "Do you know about white maggots?"
Shen Lu not only searched his own memory, but also searched it together with the memory of the original owner. Tried it again, but found nothing.
They are all maggots after all.
Shen Lu shook his head: "Grandma Jin, I can't be out for too long, uh... I mean, my brother may need me."
How could she have thought that Grandma Jin was a serious person before? Where is the lonely old lady?
Isn’t this naughty!
Grandma Jin smiled and said nothing. Instead of exposing her lie, she walked her to the door in person.
"Go back quickly. It's best not to wander around the 17th block at night. It's not safe."
"I know."
Shen Lu picked up the bucket and ran back to the rental house. Room.
Grandma Jin watched her enter the room before closing the door. She sat back at the table, looked at the steaming Malatang and sighed softly.
As soon as the little girl left, the room immediately became lonely and cold.
Think about it, it’s been a long time since she saw such a lively little girl.
