Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

"Good boy, let me see what you are eating. I felt like something was wrong with you. You were talkative just now, but now you are like a saw-mouthed gourd." Yi Gen couldn't help but dropped his chopsticks and ran over.

"Yes, there is none. Don't come over here." The man who was buying food looked as if he was facing a great enemy, as if someone was trying to snatch his food from him.

But that's what he really thought in his heart. After all, his own lunch box would indeed be coveted by others.

The guy who came over to watch would not easily believe what he said. He squinted his eyes and stood up to see the contents of the lunch box clearly, but the other party covered it up tightly. Finally, the guy seemed to have no choice but to aim at the man's armpit and launched a surprise attack.

"Ah!" The man didn't expect the other party to do this. He was so scared that he almost dropped the lunch box to the ground.

The attacker quickly opened the lunch box that the man had not eaten much of. Although the rice and vegetables in the box were all messed up, the smell was deceptive, especially after opening it, the aroma of the vegetables was even stronger, and you could also see the rice covered with shiny soup.

You should know that except for the high-end lunch boxes sold at high prices in good restaurants, the other ordinary lunch boxes in the base basically do not contain much oil. After all, cooking oil is expensive in the market now. A barrel of freshly squeezed peanut oil can be sold for almost 300 points, and even the most common corn oil costs 150 points. Moreover, the oils nowadays are not very fragrant, and even have a stinky smell.

The so-called stinky oil smell is like the smell of peanuts after being left for a long time, whether they are fried or stir-fried. Even other blended oils cannot avoid this smell. Some people can't stand this smell. The dishes cooked in this way are okay if they are only used for frying, boiling or deep-frying, but they are particularly unpalatable if used for cold dishes or stir-fried vegetables.

However, the lunch box in front of him obviously did not have that strange stinky oily smell, and he could even faintly smell a hint of peanut oil.

Actually, what Gu Tongwan used was a batch of blended oil that she had stockpiled in supermarkets and department stores during the zero-yuan shopping spree. It was not that there was no slightly better peanut oil, but she wanted to keep it for herself. After all, there were only a few hundred barrels of oil in the entire space. If she kept using this oil to make fast food, it would be a waste and would also increase the cost. But if she used base oil, it would have a strange smell, and base oil is only suitable for frying.

However, the space mall has recently launched peanut seeds. She thought that if she could harvest a batch of peanuts and take them to the grain and oil processing shop in the base to be pressed into peanut oil, she would not have to worry about the oil in the space being exhausted.

Despite this, she still planned to use the base oil and try to filter out the strange smell. Even if it was not as fragrant as peanut oil, the dishes would taste a little better if the stinky oil smell could be removed.

I used up almost 2L of oil to make thirty boxes of fast food last night. I felt really bad about it, mainly because eggplants consume a lot of oil. I felt the pain in my heart while making them last night, but I felt a little better when I remembered that I was only using the cheapest corn oil.

Speaking of the "Sailing Guild", the man's lunch box did cause quite a stir.

Especially after they found out that this guy had been hiding something, they were immediately "scolded" by everyone in the guild.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything. I bought these at the vegetable store near the community downstairs. I just happened to see one selling boxed lunches so I took one."

"A vegetable store? I heard from the girl next door that there's a vegetable store near us. They also sell fruit, but the prices don't seem cheap. A pound of Red Fuji apples costs forty or fifty."

"Oh my god, this price seems to be much more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Yes, it's much more expensive. I remember the Red Fuji apples from the supply and marketing cooperative were only over 30 points per pound, right?"

"Those things sold at the supply and marketing cooperative are also called Red Fuji. They don't taste like apples at all, and they're not crispy. Anyway, if I spend that money on fruit, I might as well buy a glass of juice. At least juice is drinkable."

Seeing the others complaining one after another, another buddy couldn't help but frowned and said, "Okay, we're getting off topic." Then he turned his attention to the man who bought the lunch box and asked, "How much did you spend on this lunch box?"

"Twenty-two points, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. But to be more precise, it should be two and a half meat dishes and one vegetable dish. After all, minced meat and eggplant and scrambled eggs with tomatoes can't be considered full meat dishes."

"Twenty-two points, that's about the same as in the snack street, but the quality of the dishes seems good, just like those cooked in a big restaurant. The eggplants and tomatoes here seem to be fresher, too." The guy who asked the question said thoughtfully as he looked at the greasy eggplants.

The man who bought the lunch took his lunch box back in his hand and was about to continue eating when he realized that everyone's eyes were on him. He couldn't help but said, "Okay, stop staring at me. It makes me lose my appetite."

"Hey, I said, can you give me a taste?"

"Hey, good brother, I want to try it too."

Seeing everyone's malicious looks, the man leaned forward, holding his lunch box tightly with his whole arm, and said unhappily, "Go away, I don't have much lunch left. If you want to eat, just go buy it yourself. There was still some left in the store when I bought it."

Seeing the hesitation in everyone's eyes, the man added slowly, "Oh, by the way, it seems that this store's lunch boxes are special. The boss lady said that they are not available every day, and only 30 boxes are currently on sale, while stocks last."

As soon as the words fell, the guy closest to the door immediately ran out. The others saw this and shouted angrily, "Damn it, you actually ran out early, you are such a dog!"

After Xu Hang came to his senses, he also ran out with the group, cursing: "Damn it, you guys just said you didn't want to eat, but now you're running so fast. Where's your face, where's your face!"

"Xu Hang, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Besides, eating is the most important thing in life. Do you know that food and bed are the only things in this world that cannot be shared with good brothers?" A buddy who was running in the front shouted, but his pace did not slow down at all.

By the time they arrived at Gu Tongwan's shop, the group of people were already out of breath. It was 1:40 in the afternoon, and Gu Tongwan felt a little sleepy. He was used to taking a nap at noon, and would feel particularly sleepy at noon, so he took out a cup of iced American coffee and took a leisurely nap when there were not many customers at noon.

As a result, before she could take a nap for five minutes, she heard a noise coming from outside, accompanied by the shouting of a man swearing.

As soon as Gu Tongwan raised his head, he saw an enlarged face appear in front of him. He was so frightened that his whole body shuddered and all his sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

"Boss, still, still..." Probably because he was running so hard and had some obvious side stitches, the man couldn't catch his breath and could only speak separately. "Do you have any more boxed lunches for sale?"

It turned out that he came here to buy a lunch box, but he shouldn't be that anxious, right?

But when Gu Tongwan saw seven or eight other people with equally anxious looks running up behind the man, they all swarmed in front of Gu Tongwan's cashier counter.

Perhaps because he found out that the so-called vegetable shop owner was a young girl, he suddenly realized the rashness of his behavior. The smile on the first man's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. "Sorry, boss lady, we just want to buy lunch boxes."

Gu Tongwan certainly wouldn't refuse a business that came to his door, so he smiled and nodded, then raised his chin and pointed to the shelves in the fast food area, "Today's fast food is all over there."

The others quickly followed his gaze and noticed a large foam box on a chair next to the shelf.

Gu Tongwan exchanged this foam box with a bag of fruit from an old man who was picking up rags nearby. She thought that the foam box could also provide temporary insulation.

Xu Hang, who was following behind, felt that the girl in front of him looked very familiar, but he was not sure where he had seen her before. In addition, he was anxious about not being able to grab the lunch box, so he shouted to the other side: "Hey, leave one box for me, I haven't eaten yet."

There are eleven or twelve people in this group, and the lunch boxes are actually enough. In fact, only five or six boxes were sold today. Although there are many people buying vegetables, because the lunch boxes are packaged, the main people coming to the store are housewives, and only occasionally some people who are too lazy to cook will consider buying lunch boxes.

Before Gu Tongwan could react, several more hands appeared at the cashier counter, with brand-name cards stretched out in front of her, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to pay.

Gu Tongwan glanced at the foam box and found it was empty.

At this moment, Tutu in the corner raised his eyelids and yawned, and the group of people saw that there was a giant mutant dog with white fluff lying at the foot of the cash register.

Aoao and Tutu always attract attention wherever they go, but the two dogs have always been dismissive of the outside world's attention. Gu Tongwan has long been accustomed to taking the two dogs with him to activities, so he doesn't care about what others think.

Gu Tongwan counted the number of lunch boxes. There were still twenty-three boxes in total. If they could be sold out at once, there would be no problem of selling them slowly later or the taste going bad.

"It's a total of 506 points, but I'll just count it as 500 for you. Can I just use one card? It will be more convenient for me this way."

"Yes, yes, no problem." Boys generally don't care too much about these issues. Besides, they have a group where they can transfer points to each other. However, this function is currently only available to friends on the chat software. When making normal purchases in the store, they still need to use their own brand-name credit cards.

Before leaving, Xu Hang couldn't help but ask, "Madam Boss, should we..."

Before Xu Hang finished asking, Gu Tongwan nodded calmly, then smiled and said, "You exchanged rice and flour with me before."

Hearing this, Xu Hang's eyes lit up immediately, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "So it's the young lady from that time. I was wondering if she looked familiar. Did you open a shop here?"

"Yes, I want to do some small business to make some money." Gu Tongwan replied.

"That's great. If it's your store, the quality of the products will be absolutely impeccable. The rice and flour I exchanged with you last time were particularly good. They didn't smell moldy or spoiled. I've been at the base for so long, but this is the first time I've eaten such fragrant white rice."

"The crystal core you exchanged with me is also good. Our transaction is equal and we both enjoy the cooperation." Gu Tongwan didn't hate Xu Hang, so she rarely spoke more to him.

After Xu Hang and others left, Gu Tongwan checked the vegetables on the shelves and found that the sales of the goods on the shelves were indeed very good.

At present, more than half of the tomatoes and apples on the shelves have been sold, and two-thirds of the vegetables are left. As for the chives and coriander that can be used for seasoning, they were sold out when the store just opened in the morning. It is estimated that they will need to be replenished later.

Although I could predict that business would be good after the store opened, the speed was still a little beyond my expectations. If it continued at this speed, I would probably have to close the store early in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, just as Gu Tongwan had expected, around three o'clock, some middle-aged women holding eco-friendly bags came into the store to make purchases. Probably because it was the last day of the new store promotion, there were a lot of people buying things, all hoping to get an extra pound of fruits and vegetables for free.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, there was nothing left on the shelves. There was only a handful of sweet potato leaves and a few Red Fuji apples. The last customer who came into the store was a young-looking girl who bought some. Gu Tongwan even gave her a 20% discount.

At 4:45, Gu Tongwan pulled down the shutter door and went home. Today's turnover has exceeded 21,000, and after deducting the costs, the net income can be around 15,000.

If this continues for a long time, the business of this small shop will only get better and better. After all, the products here are unique and produced in her space.

What Gu Tongwan didn't know was that not long after she closed the shop and left, seven or eight young girls rushed towards the shop in a hurry, and were surprised when they saw the rolling shutter door had been pulled down.

One of the girls with short hair complained to the other girl in disappointment: "Didn't you say that this store closes at 5:30? If we come at 4:30, can we still buy some discounted fruits?"

The girl being questioned did not expect the store to close so early today. Usually, she would see the boss closing the shutter at least at 5:30 when she passed by after get off work. She felt upset because she could not buy anything, so she could only purse her lips and said, "Maybe the boss's business is too good and he sold out the things early."

The other girls looked disappointed and couldn't help complaining: "The store closed too early. I still want to buy some apples. I was so hungry after eating the one Xiaohong gave me this afternoon."

"No, I decided to sneak out tomorrow. I don't believe I can't buy it." One of the chubby girls was as determined as a hero cutting his wrists.

At this time, in a small circle near the commercial and residential building, more than a dozen chat groups were discussing strange terms such as "incredibly delicious lunch boxes" and "super sweet Red Fuji".
