Seeing that she was silent, Bai Lu wondered whether he was making her unhappy, so he gritted his teeth and continued, "We have been neighbors for many years. Although you have a weird and domineering temperament, you have a good heart. I love money. But I don’t want you to die either.”

Zhong Ran still didn't speak.

"Think about it again." As if he was afraid that he would change his mind, he turned around and left.

"The words I speak are like spilled water and will not change. I will marry him even if he tries to suppress his wife."

Bai Lu paused in his steps and walked quickly without turning around.

Zhong Ran smiled and returned to the cabin.

I have lived in the apocalypse for thirty years. During this period, I have raided many supermarkets, shopping and wholesale cities. They have everything from needlework to sports cars, and countless solid wood furniture.

She chose several sets of simple solid wood furniture. The master bedroom was a step-down bed, which was large enough to sleep at least five people. It also had a dressing table, chairs, a washbasin stand, and a sofa. The second bedroom had bunk beds for the children. Available in various styles of strollers.

There is a long table on the wall facing the entrance of the living room for worship, a square table and six chairs in the middle, and two sideboards on each side.

There was no earthen stove in the kitchen, but a stainless steel movable firewood stove. Afraid that the stainless steel material would be seen and questioned, she couldn't answer, so she painted several layers of paint, gray, red, and black, which looked like rust. of iron.

Two rows of wooden shelves and a wooden square cutting table.

Looking at the well-packed wooden house, Zhong Ran nodded with satisfaction.

Because they are all solid wood and have simple styles, there is nothing special about them at first glance. Unless you are a carpenter, you won’t be able to tell the difference at all.

When it was almost dawn, Zhong Ran tidied up the wooden house and it looked like a warm home.

I boiled water, took a hot bath, and got into a soft bed to sleep.

Yuncheng city center.

It was lunch time, but the business of Kemanhong Restaurant was bleak. There was not a single customer in the more than 100 private rooms on the three floors of the restaurant.

More than twenty shop assistants stood at the door of the restaurant eagerly looking forward to it, all with sad faces.

When the restaurant business stopped improving, the shopkeeper laid off employees, and the family's husband, children, and children were all waiting for them to support them. If the times were bad, they couldn't lose their jobs.

God willing, let's have a few tables of guests.

Lin Jiao, the shopkeeper, held her abacus in her arms, stretched her head and looked at the deserted street where few people could be seen, and could only sigh.

She couldn't help but get tears in her eyes as she fiddled with the abacus beads with her fingers.

Snow disasters, civil strife in the dynasty, and covetous efforts from other countries have left Qingshang's land devastated and on the verge of collapse. The restaurant that has been passed down from generation to generation will also be defeated by her.

In such a bad situation, who would come to the restaurant to eat and drink?

Lin Jiao slowly turned around and sat down on the bench, feeling sad alone.

"Hey! Why aren't there any customers?" The woman's cheerful voice came from the door of the restaurant.

She took off the white rabbit fur hat on her head, brushed off the snow on it, took off her gray cloak and shook off the snowflakes, and sat down on the bench opposite Lin Jiao, with one foot directly on the chair. Unrivaled domineering.

Immediately, a waiter poured a bowl of hot water for her and called Sister Ran attentively.

Zhong Ran smiled and thanked the man, his eyes swept around the empty restaurant several times, and finally landed on the dejected Lin Jiao, and joked.

"I'm afraid your restaurant is about to close. There aren't even any customers."

Lin Jiao was about to cry, "Sister Ran, please stop irritating me. If you don't have a bad mind at this stall, who would come out to eat in a restaurant?" She knew in her heart that the restaurant business was for rich people and pawns. Official.

I heard that the city lord has gone to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. Who is not afraid of death and comes to the restaurant?

Zhong Ran didn't answer, still smiling lightly, and told the waiter the name of the dish, "Two pounds of cold beef, braised pork ribs, a large bowl of noodles, a plate of peanuts, and a jar of wine." After that, he added, "Hurry up. ,starving."

The waiter stood still, looking at the shopkeeper with a troubled expression.

Lin Jiao sighed deeply and said, "Sister Ran, don't tell me that my shop can't make these dishes, even the restaurants in the entire Yuncheng can't make them. They only have peanuts and wine." After saying this, he glanced at her cautiously.

Zhong Ran drank a bowl of hot water and became even hungrier. He understood in his heart, "A huge restaurant actually told me that there was no meat. You must be lying. Are you afraid that I won't have enough money to pay the bill?"

Lin Jiao scratched the tip of her nose awkwardly, but did not refute.

There was a clang and a piece of gold hit the table.

Zhong Ran said impatiently, "I didn't go to the gambling house today. I can afford your meal, so hurry up and do it. I'll give you a big deal after eating."

She went to the city every once in a while, and always had a big table for lunch, but had to pay for dinner on credit, because after lunch she went to the gambling house and lost not a penny. The credit for this dinner will be settled when we come for lunch next time.

In normal times, this was the rule, but under the special circumstances now, Lin Jiao did not have the capital to dare to borrow money, because the city gate could be breached at any time, and the restaurant would be gone.

The current business is to make money as much as possible and never take credit.

Lin Jiao's eyes widened and she hurriedly said to the guys, "Quick, quick, quick, tell the kitchen to rush to prepare Sister Ran's dishes. Hurry up." All the guys rushed to the kitchen.

God opens my eyes, they don't have to be fired.

Lin Jiao had put on a warm smile, brought out a jar of wine and filled a large bowl for Zhong Ran, "As expected of my sister Ran, you are so domineering." She couldn't help but touch the big gold.

Zhong Ran snorted and ignored her.

The cunning of a businessman is engraved in his bones.

What restaurant has no meat? She has survived for so many years in the last days, and she deeply understands the truth that all disasters are for the poor and have nothing to do with the rich and powerful.

I still remember that there was a year of drought in the last days. The sun was like a fireball, and the ground was smoking. People who died of thirst piled up on the road, and the senior officials of the base were actually having a pool party.

Lin Jiao's restaurant has been passed down for five generations, and the savings and connections she has accumulated will not allow her to fail so easily. The reason for selling so hard is because she does not want to give her credit.

The food was served very quickly. Zhong Ran simply put his feet on the bench and squatted to eat. A bowl of hot plain noodles mixed with beef was ready in a few minutes. The busy waiter brought another bowl.

She finished the meal with braised pork ribs and soup, then burped, took the last sip of peanuts and a sip of wine, and tasted it slowly.

Lin Jiao stayed with her all the time. After she finished drinking the soup, she gave her a clean handkerchief to wipe her mouth. After making sure that she had eaten and drank well, she dared to pick up the gold ingot and weighed it in her hands. Twenty taels.

"Sister Ran, you can't use this ingot of gold for this meal. You must have other things to do."

Zhong Ran didn't show off and said directly, "I'm getting married. I plan to cover twenty miles of red silk and entertain the whole city for a month."

Bang.

It was the sound of Lin Jiao falling from her chair.
