Urban Sims

Chapter 192

That evening, Gu Naihui went to the city, and when she returned to the hotel, the scene in front of her almost made her think that she had gone to the wrong place.

There are already customers in the store, and there are quite a few. Although there are not as many customers as the Du's restaurant opposite, compared with the day she left two days ago, the business is indeed booming.

And what are those white, blobs that guests eat?It looks very delicious, and most of the guests eat the same thing, and some of them are not satisfied, shouting "one more" from time to time.

"Could it be...is this a new dish?"

Seeing the guy in the chef's uniform walking into the kitchen, Gu Naihui had a flash of inspiration.

He... He actually did it, how is this possible?

But so what, just relying on one dish, still can't save Gu's restaurant, and can't get back most of the passenger flow. Only intelligent kitchen robots can save Gu's restaurant and regain all the customer flow!
"Sister, you are back, come and try the Xiaolongbao made by Brother Qiang, it is so delicious! You don't know how popular Xiaolongbao is today, and many old customers are back today! Brother Qiang is our store lucky star!"

After hearing what her younger brother said, Gu Naihui still had a cold face, ignored him, put down the bag on her shoulder, held it with her hand, and went straight to her room on the second floor.

In the room, she opened the zipper of the bag, and Gu Naihui gently took out the contents of the bag with her hands. There were two main things: a small bottle of anti-wolf spray, and two round, golden-yellow coins.

Looking at the two items on the table that were bought with great difficulty, a longing smile flashed across Gu Naihui's face, and she thought: With these items, I can start tonight. Guys who have been eating and drinking for free for days, it's time to pay their "room bill".

And the smart kitchen robot made by Dongfang Kitchenware Co., Ltd., she is already optimistic about. It has more functions than the one bought by Du's restaurant. It can cook more dishes, tastes better, saves energy by 3%, and is 5 times faster. %, she photographed it on the spot and paid a 30% deposit. Three days later, Dongfang Kitchenware Company will send the machine over, just in time for the harvest day in the town.

She thought to herself: Everything I do is for the future of the Gu family. No one will criticize me, they will only praise and praise me. I have done nothing wrong. If there is some rubbish, I should go to the place where the rubbish is. ...

……

Nine p.m.

After finishing everything, he took off his chef clothes and ate something, Zhou Ming went to the bathroom to take a big shower, washed off the smell of oily smoke, and then dragged his tired body to the third floor. room, get ready for a good night's sleep.

His room was very small, less than ten square meters. It used to be a utility room where sundries were piled up. After it was vacated, a bed was laid on the floor, and he and Da Zhuang slept together. The conditions were relatively simple.

But Zhou Ming is already very satisfied. Compared with the street where he slept for almost a month before, being able to sleep in a house that is sheltered from wind and rain, and being able to sleep in a soft and warm quilt is already a great improvement.

"Whoo~, whoo~"

In the middle of the night, there was only a thunderous snoring in the room.

"Kaz~Kaz~"

A burst of metal banging sound from the inside of the mechanical door lock came from the door. Under the cover of the snoring, the sound was small, but it seemed a bit abrupt.

"Kakaka~"

The originally locked door was opened a crack, and in the darkness, a hand stretched in through the crack, and then there was another sound of "Z~Z~", after more than a dozen times of "ZZ", the door opened again. was brought on.

After 15 minutes, the door was opened in the normal way. After turning on the light, a graceful woman in pajamas, covered her mouth with a towel, came in tiptoe, and saw two men who were unconscious like dead pigs on the ground. Finally, he kicked twice with his feet, but there was no response, and then his face was happy, and he searched and searched in the room.

Apart from a low table, there is no other furniture in the room, let alone a box with a lock. How could the woman in pajamas prepare these for them?So, after searching for a while, she found what she was looking for - money.

Two coins, one of which was hung around Da Zhuang's neck with a rope, opened the photo box at the end of the rope, there was a small photo of a family of three in the box, all the people on it were smiling brightly, the woman in pajamas Wei Wei looked at it for a moment, but still took out the money, and put another coin in it; it took a little effort to find the other one, but the guy didn't have it in his bag or on his body, and finally she relied on an instrument in her hand. , I found this coin in the gap of the chandelier at the top of the room, and it was very strange, how did he stuff it in such a high place?

With all the money in hand, the woman in pajamas left the room with a satisfied expression on her face. After turning off the lights, she slammed the door, completely oblivious to the pair of eyes that had been opened in the darkness.

"Is that really the purpose? But you are the roughest of the 137 thieves who wanted to take my money."

Getting up from the ground, a vigorous figure silently followed the woman in pajamas to the second floor.

……

As the harvest day approached, more and more migrant workers came to Baowan Town, with the number increasing by thousands every day, bringing a lot of lively and noisy atmosphere to the peaceful Baowan Town.

These "pigeon families" have a complex composition, including middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair, strong young men and women, and even some family groups. There are adults and children, laughing and laughing. It doesn't look like they are here. The part-time workers seem to be traveling with the whole family.

However, when a rumbling motorcycle engine sounded at the entrance of Baowan Town, just hearing this unique sound, the whole Baowan Town was instantly shrouded in an abnormal atmosphere.

Especially the pigeon group, as if some kind of spell had been cast in the group, the adults stopped talking, and the children stopped crying. Everyone looked down at the tall, indifferent, special dressed Armor protective gear, a tubular weapon on the waist, and a uniformed man wearing a black armband with a strange pattern and a "zero" printed on his arm. There is an inexplicable fear in his eyes, accompanied by the uniform man. With the rhythmic sound of the boots stepping on the ground, the heart also started beating.

As soon as he appeared, the subdued man became the focus of the entire town.

In the Gujia Restaurant, several guests were talking about it.

"I didn't expect the clearers to rush over so early this year. In previous years, they came after the harvest day."

"Yeah, it's been a few days in advance, those pigeons were caught off guard, I saw someone wet their pants."

"Five were taken away last year, the fewest in history. I don't know how many will be taken away this year?"

"The clearer is here, don't discuss it, don't be targeted by him."

Clearer?
Zhou Ming, who was cooking in the kitchen, paused slightly when he heard the term, and a trace of disgust flashed across his face.

In the city, he was inspected by this kind of thing three times. He didn't expect that there were such lingering existences in the countryside.

Suddenly, there was a burst of crying and screaming on the road outside the store.

"Sir, please, please don't take my child away! I'm just such a child, please show mercy and let him go!"

"Sir! I can give you whatever you want, please don't take my child away, I kneel down to you, I kowtow to you!"

"Ah! No, please don't! Don't take my child away!"

A young woman desperately grabbed the hand of a teenage child, like a tug-of-war, trying to snatch the child back from the armpit of a tall and strong man in uniform. The whole world was full of panic, and the child's father, a skinny young man, also knelt down in front of the man in uniform, hugged his leg, and begged for mercy in an extremely humble tone.

There were more and more people onlookers, all of them couldn't bear it, and Zhou Ming also came out with a cooking spoon. After seeing this scene, his heart ached like a needle.

This is not the first time he has seen this kind of scene. In Yaoxing City, he has seen a similar scene four times. Among them, three times, the people who were taken away were all kinds of people with similar identities as him who came up from the lower area. The champion of the killing competition, because he lost his vigilance and spent money, was quickly "swept away" by the clearer. Another time, the one who was taken away was a 12-year-old cute little girl. Zhou Ming stepped forward to stop him, and even moved But after a shock from the high-energy stun gun, he got up from the ground only 5 minutes ago, and he never did such impulsive and stupid things again.

Money is a currency that everyone in Area 52 must own, and the number of possessions must not be less than 1.

But everyone wants to marry a wife and have children. If a couple has only one coin each, if their offspring don’t have an extra coin to open an account, such a child is a natural child with a zero balance. "Returning to zero" seems to be within the scope of being cleared by the zeroed.

And the top-level designers of this world also saw the unreasonableness of this point, so they stipulated that children under the age of 12 are not within the scope of removal, and the parents of these children are given a long enough buffer period. Years later, if there is no money to open an account for this child, then, what awaits this child is the ruthless sweeping by the clearers.

That's why, during Zhou Ming's stay in Yaoxing City for more than a month, most of those who wanted to steal his money were minors. He fell into the abyss.

In this world, there is no so-called family planning. Those poor families with more children will not care about it except to ask the children to get a piece of money back by any means. Anyway, in their eyes, having a child is a It's like pulling a pile of shit, except for increasing burdens and troubles, it will not produce any benefits.

Those children from better families, after seeing the tragic experience of these peers, think that they are about to turn 12 years old. Those who are usually disobedient, playful, and not serious about studying, just need to hear a sentence from their parents. If you are disobedient, I won’t give you money.” No matter how willful and rebellious a child is, he has to learn to be a good baby, obey his parents, reflect his own existence value in front of his parents, and become mature and sensible.

And the young couple at the entrance of the Gujia Restaurant knelt down and begged, crying so sadly, presumably their children must be very well-behaved at ordinary times, bringing a lot of joy and beauty to the parents, but this originally A happy family, now encountering such a human tragedy, the fault is not that they have no conditions to give birth, but the fault is this cold and cruel world.

Zhou Ming didn't want to listen any more, took the spoon, and silently returned to his kitchen, continuing to fry his dishes.

This may be a kind of escape, he is just an unstable little chef, and he doesn't have the ability to change this terrible world...

"Mr. Clearer, there are two chefs in my store. I found that they have no money on them. They have been hiding in my store for several days. Mr. Clearer, I am very afraid that they will steal the money from the store. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for your valuables, so please take them away as well."

When this voice rang in Zhou Ming's ears, he raised his head and shook his head when he saw the woman with her mouth raised high and her face full of complacency next to the man in uniform.

This woman is really not ordinary stupid!
