Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe
Chapter 23 Undercurrent surging
"Xiaohong, Xiaoxiang, it's Xiaohong Elephant~ Xiaoxiang, Xiaohong, it's Xiaohonghong~"
As the sun set, Xue Xi hummed a cheerful song as she rode the little wolf to the small county town. There were no herds of beasts lurking around, but instead there were scattered warrior camps, making it look like a wasteland market.
Xue Xi let the little wolf run wild while she wandered around. When she came to a material trading point, she curiously asked a middle-aged warrior who was processing monster materials, "Uncle, why are you opening a market here? Wouldn't it be more convenient to go to the military base?"
The middle-aged warrior answered without even looking up: "It's because of the reputation of the Cat Ears Restaurant. Now a large number of warriors from different forces come here to eat every day. There are more people than in the military base. In addition, the owner has taken a leave of absence, so we have nothing to do. So we decided to transform this place into a small supply base, which will be convenient in the future. The official has agreed and supported this."
Xue Xi didn't expect this uncle to be so talkative. He started talking like pouring beans. Her eyes lit up: "Uncle, can you get more ingredients to trade here? I promise to come and buy them every day!"
Is there anything happier than opening your own shop with a vegetable market right next to it? Xue Xi put forward what she thought was a reasonable request.
The middle-aged warrior was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Do you even need to think about this? Those with business acumen have already put the food in the market, waiting for the restaurant owner to buy it. Oh, by the way, why do you have to buy ingredients every day?"
The middle-aged warrior looked up, rubbed his eyes, and immediately shouted: "Damn it! The owner is back, brothers, quickly push Lao Zhang out and have a drink!"
Xue Xi was stunned by the shout. She saw a large group of people rushing out of the tent behind the middle-aged warrior and surrounding her. Among them was a person in a wheelchair, who was holding on to his armrest and staring at her excitedly: "Shopkeeper Xue Xi, I want to buy your wine, the barley wine that can heal physical injuries!"
The surrounding camps came over after hearing the noise, all saying they wanted to buy some wine, which annoyed Xue Xi. She took a deep breath, gathered her energy in her throat, and used her mental power to spread the words out: "Everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to me!"
The voice was not loud, but it was very effective. The surrounding warriors were all stunned. Xue Xi only felt that her ears had become quiet. Then she responded to the eager eyes around her: "It will take another day to successfully brew the new wine. Please be patient. You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. That's it. The restaurant will continue to operate the day after tomorrow, and there will be enough wine by then."
After saying this, he stopped wandering around, and used his telekinesis to gently push away the crowd and walked out. The people around him had no choice but to disperse and go about their own business.
In a newly renovated room on a high-rise building in the distance, a burly warrior with a centipede-like scar on the corner of his eye was staring at the scene that had just happened. On the sofa next to him, a voluptuous woman wearing tight armor was leaning on the back of the sofa with one hand, shaking a goblet filled with a little red wine with the other.
Vinina took a sip of the red wine and said, "Yao, the latest news is that the owner of the Xuexi store showed up at the War God Palace this morning. Regardless of whether the Extreme Martial Arts Hall and the Chinese military support her, based on her own strength as a high-level War God, do we still have to proceed as planned?"
The cup in Li Yao's hand couldn't withstand the huge grip and shattered. Ignoring the wine flowing in his hand, Li Yao turned around with a ferocious look and roared with red eyes: "What can we do! That old man Yan Hai doesn't want to show up himself, and we have so many handles in his hands. If we don't do what he says, won't those hypocritical people in the War God Palace tear us to pieces?"
Standing up and twisting her waist like a water snake, Vinina put down the wine glass and leaned against Li Yao's chest. Her slender fingers slid across his chest and she whispered in Li Yao's ear: "Yao, I support you unconditionally. After this order is completed, we will take Xiao Wei back to the family for retreat. When you break through to the planetary level, we will no longer be constrained by others. How do you think?"
Li Yao was calmed down by the beauty beside him. He looked at Venina firmly, and his rough hands touched her delicate face. He promised, "Okay, I'll do as you say. We'll leave after this is done!"
Vinina looked at the little wolf going away, with a ruthless look in her eyes: "Yao, I have an idea, we can do this..."
On the other side, a team of white warriors also reported Xue Xi's intelligence to their superiors: "Captain Mike, the woman who destroyed the Water of Life market has entered the surveillance range. Should we take action immediately?"
A deep voice from the other end ordered, "Stay where you are. The target has the strength of a high-level war god. Wait for the so-called highland barley wine to be sold. If the effect is as advertised, I will ask the Speaker for instructions!"
The seemingly peaceful small county town was actually undercurrents. Xue Xi returned to the area within a kilometer of the restaurant. There were many warrior vendors selling monster meat, and some weirdos drove a big truck with a cold chain warehouse filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
Xue Xi's eyes lit up. She had never tasted any fruit since she came to this world. In her previous life, she was a big fruit lover and had almost no dietary restrictions. In the summer, she would squeeze fruit juice, add a few ice cubes, and drink the juice while reading a book on the balcony in the afternoon.
He quickly ran to the fruit stand to start picking. When the boss saw the real owner coming, he immediately smiled and introduced the fruits to Xue Xi: "Hey, Boss Xue is back! Come and have a look. These are all wild fruits picked from the wilderness. They are guaranteed to be free of agricultural damage. However, these are all paid for with the blood of my brothers, plus the transportation and storage costs, so the prices are a little high."
Xue Xi wiped a pear clean and couldn't wait to take a big bite. The sweet juice instantly filled her entire mouth and Xue Xi felt extremely satisfied.
"I understand. Please give me a price, stall owner. These pears are quite sweet." She asked the stall owner for a price nonchalantly. Now she was a high-income person with a stable job and a monthly salary of 100 million yuan. How could she go bankrupt by eating some fruit?
"Sincerely, 10 each."
"Pfft~ cough cough cough, how much did you say?" Xue Xi coughed due to choking, and thought she had bitten a bite of the spirit of plants. Holding an ordinary fruit in her hand which was just a little sweeter, she tilted her head and asked the innocent-looking stall owner with an expression of disbelief.
"10? What's wrong? Aren't the prices in your store the same? Besides, I'll use the money I make to buy your food when you open. You won't lose money!"
Xue Xi felt that she had good upbringing. If she had been a little more radical and heard such shameless words, she would have killed this speculator with one stroke. Xue Xi didn't want to dirty her hands.
Xue Xi, who was so angry that she laughed, put the fruits in the shopping bag back, took out her phone and transferred 10 yuan to the QR code. Then she ignored the excited fruit vendor and shouted to the vendors around her: "Although I am not short of money, I am not stupid. If anyone cheats me like this person in the future, I'm sorry, you will be on the restaurant's blacklist for a long time!"
Then he took a photo of the stunned fruit stall owner with a black and white background and uploaded it to the notification board of the Ares Palace store: If this person appears in the store in the future, the restaurant will be closed for a day immediately. We hope that all customers will supervise.
Xue Xi felt so disgusted that she lost her appetite. She temporarily gave up the idea of eating fruit and turned back to the restaurant.
The fruit vendor, who was still a war general, naturally had no idea what was going on, but a moment later several angry war gods rushed over, beat the vendor up with a bang, and then threw him out of the county like a dead dog.
Suddenly, everyone around was silent, and they kept saying in their hearts: It seems that we can no longer bully Boss Xue just because she is young. We must be careful in the future!
