Chapter 41 Eating alone
"Bai Lei, get out of class is over, let's go have dinner together."
"I won't go today, I have an appointment."
Bai Lei declined politely I accepted the invitation from my classmates, put away my protective gear and walked out of the gym quickly.
He took a taxi and told the driver to go to Pinjin Street.
The driver was a middle-aged man about forty years old. Hearing this, he glanced at him in the rearview mirror.
“It’s noon, not many shops are open on Pinjin Street.”
Bai Lei hummed and didn’t say anything. The driver didn’t talk nonsense. He stepped on the accelerator and at the checkpoint After showing the relevant documents, I passed smoothly.
Bai Lei only glanced outside, then withdrew his gaze without interest.
The Xiacheng District is just like what was broadcast on TV, dilapidated and messy, with a sense of desolation.
The road was bad and bumpy, making his butt hurt.
Had it not been for the fact that he felt much better after eating the egg waffles Bai Wanwan bought the day before yesterday, Bai Lei would never have come to Xiacheng District.
Arrived at the intersection of Pinjin Street, Bai Lei paid and got off the car. Dressed in neat and elegant clothes, he was incompatible with the whole street.
It seemed that he stepped on something sticky under his feet. Bai Lei closed his eyes in despair and controlled his powers to get rid of the sticky thing on the soles of his shoes.
The rainwater on Pinjin Street is treated well, but the streets around it emit a strong smell, so it is inevitable to be contaminated.
Bai Lei put on the gas mask he had prepared and walked quickly on the street.
He just wanted to find Shen Lu’s stall as soon as possible and return to Shangcheng immediately after buying the things.
Xiacheng District is really not a place for people to live.
After walking a few steps, Bai Lei discovered a brightly colored food truck. Under a big umbrella, the person with ponytails and a simple mask lowered his head to think was strange yet familiar.
But the sign on the food truck said Xiaolu Food, Bai Lei knew he had found someone.
"Shen Lu!"
Bai Wanwan and Shen Lu have been in love since they were young. Bai Lei is also familiar with Shen Lu. He is two years younger than Shen Lu and they always call him by his first name.
Hearing someone calling her name, Shen Lu looked up in confusion and saw a tall and strong young man standing in front of the stall.
Judging from the way he is dressed, he should be from the upper city.
But he was wearing a mask and couldn't see his whole face. Shen Lu couldn't match the person in the original owner's memory.
"Who are you?"
Bai Lei pretended to cough twice to avoid her question, "I'm here to buy something."
"Oh, What do you need?" Shen Lu didn't pursue the matter. The other party obviously knew her, but he didn't want to reveal his true identity, so there was no need for her to hold on to him.
Anyway, she had no intention of relying on anyone to return to Uptown.
Even if she has to go back to Shangcheng, she has to rely on her own ability.
"We have new products today, egg fried rice and egg fried noodles, priced at 60 star coins each. The first ten customers can get a free side dish."
Fried rice and fried noodles with 60 star coins each are not cheap, but this It's a wasteland world, so it's already very cheap.
If Shen Lu was more evil-minded, it would not be too much to mark him with 100 star coins.
Bai Lei's style is the same as Bai Wanwan's. Whatever he chooses, he wants it all.
"Can I buy them all?" Bai Lei said seriously, "I want to buy them back and give them to my family and friends to try."
Shen Lu refused skillfully, "Sorry , the stall is limited to purchase."
"Okay." Bai Lei didn't bother, ordered one of each, and then took out a huge lunch box from his pocket.
It’s no exaggeration, it’s really huge, half as big as a table.
"Just put it in here."
Bai Lei had already made a plan. He didn't want to eat in Xiacheng District, so he might as well bring a lunch box to take away.
It's a pity that there was a leak in his sister's information transmission, and she didn't say that Shen Lu was still selling drinks.
But it’s not a big problem, he can buy it with the cup.
Shen Lu Kuku gave him a meal, one egg fried rice, one egg fried rice noodles, one egg waffle. Malatang has many varieties and flavors, so Shen Lu made a new rule: buy the most 100 star coins, among which the meatballs are the most expensive, costing 20 star coins each.
Bai Lei loves to eat meat, so he only paid 60 star coins for the fish balls, and paired with a portion of radish, kelp, konjac and bean curd, he just made up 100 star coins.
I didn’t order cabbage balls today, not because I didn’t want to, but because Shen Lu wouldn’t let me.
Finally, put the radish skins on top, and Bai Lei's meal is ready.
"Including the iron cup, the total is 300 star coins. Thank you for your patronage."
Bai Lei took out three star coins, put away the lunch box, and returned as quickly as possible with mint water. Got home.
Usually Bai Lei doesn't eat at home during school days, so Bai Wanwan was a little surprised when she saw him at home.
"Where have you been?" Bai Wanwan glanced at the gas mask on his face and the iron cup in his hand in confusion, her eyes lit up, "You are not going..."
Bai Lei made a gesture of silence, "If mom knows, you and I will be dead."
Bai Mu didn't dare to let her baby eat at a roadside stall in the city. You know, neither brother nor sister can escape a scolding.
Bai Wanwan said OK, and the two siblings sneaked up to the second floor and entered Bai Lei's room.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, you must have packed your bags and come back, right?" Bai Wanwan shouldn't be too aware of her brother's bad temper. Although he is a boy, he is a bit mysophobic and will never eat in Pinjin Street. "Give me the cup, you take off the mask first."
Bai Lei avoided his sister's hand grabbing the cup and took off the mask with one hand.
"It's okay, I can pick it off with one hand."
"That's right." Bai Wanwan rolled her eyes at him. She was no longer a biological sibling, so she was so guarded against her?
Bai Lei brought the cup on the table and gave half of the mint water to Bai Wanwan, "This half cup is for you."
"What about the others? I want half of it too."
"Sister, I haven't had lunch yet, I'm very hungry." Bai Lei said as he took a sip of mint water. As soon as the cool and pleasant mint water entered his mouth, Bai Lei was stunned.
The spiritual sea of superpowers is always rioting. For example, the Bai family can send Bai Lei to the hospital regularly for relevant treatment, but the cost is quite expensive and the effect is not ideal.
But without treatment, it will be even more uncomfortable.
The last time Bai Lei ate half an egg waffle, he felt very comfortable mentally, even more comfortable than the treatment in the hospital.
If it hadn't been for this reason, Bai Lei wouldn't have gone to Xiacheng District.
What surprised him was that not only egg waffles had this effect, mint water could also soothe the spiritual sea.
Do other foods have the same effect?
Bai Lei couldn't wait to take out the big lunch box and opened the lid.
"Huh? Are there new products today?" Bai Wanwan spotted egg fried rice and egg fried noodles with sharp eyes. There were chopsticks and spoons in the lunch box. Bai Lei picked up the spoon, and Bai Wanwan had to pick up the chopsticks.
"Sister, wait a moment." Bai Lei blocked her with a serious face, "Don't eat it yet, I want to do a test."
"Test?" Bai Wanwan looked suspiciously .
"Let me eat all these things first. This is very important to me."
Bai Wanwan's face darkened, "If you want to eat alone, just say so. What a big deal, or I'll beat you up!"< br>
I really didn’t expect it. I stretched and twisted my waist...
