Chapter 21 "Boss Shen, it's me."
The rain stopped the next day, but the sun still didn't come out, but the temperature rose. The entire imperial capital was like a huge steamer, hot and humid. .
As soon as Shen Lu opened the door, he was hit by hot moisture all over his face. After taking two steps, he started to sweat on his forehead.
“This weather is so weird, isn’t it?”
Shen Lu couldn’t help but complain, using his little hand as a fan to keep fanning himself.
Arrived at the No. 3 garbage dump, the strong smell of rust made his nose itchy. Shen Lu sneezed several times in a row before stopping.
“It’s really terrible.”
Shen Lu muttered, covered his mouth and nose, picked up his tools and entered the garbage dump.
After she knocked down a metal tower yesterday, all the towers in that area fell down, and the appearance of the garbage dump changed slightly.
Shen Lu did not change places, but was digging through garbage in the area of the collapsed metal tower.
Perhaps to reward her bravery yesterday, within half an hour, she found a lump of tin and a platinum ring.
The platinum ring was removed from a robotic hand covered with simulated human skin.
There is very high-end medical technology here. If your physical condition permits, you can replace it with artificial mechanical prostheses, whose flexibility and rigidity far exceed those of the original human body.
However, this technology can only be enjoyed by powerful people.
For someone like Fucheng, he can also be replaced with artificial mechanical prostheses, but he does not have the conditions for surgery. The riots in the spiritual sea, the uncontrollable mental toxins flowing around, even the step of anesthesia can't survive but.
Shen Lu checked the manipulator specifically and found that there was no major problem with its function. He didn’t know why it was thrown away as garbage.
Judging from the degree of corrosion of the simulated human skin, it has been discarded for a long time, at least more than a year.
Maybe you think this hand is not good-looking? Replace it with a better-looking one?
Because you are too rich, you also threw away this platinum ring?
The world of rich people is probably so simple and wasteful.
The good luck didn't seem to last long. In the next hour, except for the steel plate, Shen Lu could not find any other decent metal.
It is too uncomfortable to stay in the garbage dump in this weather.
The smell here is unpleasant, coupled with the smell of rust caused by the heavy humidity, even if you wrap your mouth and nose with a cloth, you can't completely isolate it.
Shen Lu was about to faint from the smoke. For safety reasons, she had to stop picking up garbage early and returned to the rental house.
“It’s so annoying, I have that rusty smell all over my body.”
Shen Lu asked about his arms and shoulders. After he returned to the room, the smell on his body was still very strong.
I really want to take a bath...
In the past few days, she only scrubbed briefly, didn't change her clothes, and didn't wash her hair. It was really uncomfortable.
Shen Lu gritted his teeth and decided to be extravagant and get some water to wash himself with today.
But there is no bathroom in the rental house, and Fucheng is lying here, so she can't take off her clothes in front of him.
Shen Lu went to Granny Jin to ask about the bathroom.
“There is no bathroom.” Grandma Jin looked at her funny, “Not only do I have no bathroom here, but other people’s homes also don’t have bathrooms.”
“Don’t everyone take a shower?” Shen The deer was shocked.
“There is a bathhouse, just in the 15th block. There is a bathhouse, but there is no water in it. There is only an ultrasonic bathhouse. In addition to the comfort of washing without water, you can wash it very clean.”
Water is very precious, how can it be used for bathing?
Shen Lu thanked Granny Jin, took the money and went to find a bathhouse in the 15th block. On the way, he bought a set of clothes from inside to outside, which he could change into after taking a bath.
The location of the bathhouse is easy to find, and Shen Lu found it without much effort.
The cost of bathing is very low, you can get it for 5 star coins.
Shen Lu took the sign handed over by the boss and went to the bathroom exclusively for female guests.
Lifting the door curtain and stepping into the bathroom, it was a bit noisy inside.
The structure of the bathroom is very simple. There is no dressing room or a place to take a shower. There is just a large room with five ultrasonic shower cabins.
There are people queuing up in front of each ultrasonic bath, holding their own clothes in their hands, waiting for the person from the previous bath to come out, and the next one to go in. Shen Lu looked at the sign in her hand and saw the number 5 written on it. She guessed that it meant that she should go to the No. 5 bathhouse to queue up for a bath.
After waiting in line for about twenty minutes, it was finally Shen Lu’s turn.
She opened the door and stepped in.
The bathroom is not big, just one square meter, with silver-white walls and a slight mirror effect.
This is Shen Lu’s first time here, and he doesn’t know what the procedure is. Fortunately, there are instructions on the door, so you just have to follow them step by step.
Take off all clothing and raise your arms above your head.
A slight wind blew. Shen Lu looked around curiously, but could not find where the wind was coming from.
After a minute, there was a beep from the speaker, signaling the end of the bath.
Shen Lu touched his skin and grabbed a handful of hair. There was really no sticky feeling at all, and he felt refreshed and refreshed.
How amazing.
While sighing, she put on the newly bought clothes, opened the door and walked out.
You can also wash clothes in the bathhouse. It is also an ultrasonic washing machine, priced at 2 star coins per bucket.
Shen Lu paid quickly, and five minutes later, the clothes he changed were clean.
Leaving the bathhouse refreshed, Shen Lu expressed that he was very satisfied and the price-performance ratio was extremely high.
Before she came here, she thought it would cost hundreds of star coins, but she didn’t expect that it only cost 7 star coins.
To do this, she must come and wash once a day.
She doesn’t have much money, so she can still spend 7 star coins a day.
Shen Lu hummed a song and went back, happily starting to prepare the ingredients for the stall.
After getting the mint water and egg waffles ready, Shen Lu exchanged five large radishes, a pound of kelp, half a pound each of tofu skin and konjac tofu, and 50 grams of spring onions.
Peel the skin when it’s time to peel it, and change the knife when it’s time to change it.
There are still two flavors: clear soup pot and spicy pot, but this time she used four grids, two grids for each flavor.
Put the ingredients into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer slowly to let the flavor soak through.
At this time, the system released today’s task.
[Ding Dong~ Posted a task: Please sell 30 cups of mint water, 20 egg waffles, and 20 portions of Malatang. 】
Shen Lu touched his chin. It seemed that the workload would increase every day, and would be slightly adjusted based on the actual quantity of ingredients.
Quite humane.
At this time, Shen Lu had not yet realized that this was just the novice stage, and the tasks were relatively simple and relaxed.
When the novice period is over, the system will start to stop being a human being.
But these are still far away for Shen Lu now.
She filled herself a bowl of spicy food and happily sprinkled it with chopped green onion.
Sure enough, with chopped green onions, the taste of Malatang is even better.
After lunch, Shen Lu fed Fucheng eggs soaked in water.
No way, this is the easiest.
As for whether Fucheng is willing to eat it or not, it is not within her scope of consideration.
Just after feeding, there was a knock on the door.
“Boss Shen, it’s me.”
