Chapter fifty-eight local customs
Shang Jianyao stood up and ran to the window, looking for where the bell sound came from.
He looked excited and curious.
This made Jiang Baimian feel like this guy is only about ten years old.
She followed her to the window and judged from the reactions of pedestrians on the road that the bell should be a common thing for residents here, and it is not worth making a fuss and be highly wary of it.
However, she did not turn her head around and instruct Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to turn on the lights to dispel the dimness brought to the room in the evening.
She was still standing there, following the sound of the bell and looking at its source like Shang Jianyao.
This is the self-cultivation of a folk scholar.
Soon, Jiang Baimian confirmed that the bell sounded from the Gust Castle. As the tallest building here, it seemed that a large bell was installed on its top floor.
Not long after the bell sounded, bicycles after bicycle ran out of the factory area and entered the streets and alleys of this settlement.
They are like white doves that have escaped from the cage, but their colors are not so uniform.
On these bicycles, workers are either happy and full of desire to go home, or are happy to communicate with the riders around them.
Compared with their colleagues in "Zhuchu City", their skin is darker, with traces of sun, rain, smoke and fire, and it is also difficult to hide their fatigue. Sweat will slide down their cheeks from time to time, but it is more "vibrant" and without numbness.
After the bicycle came out almost, the tide of people walked away from the factory area.
Their clothes are either gray or blue, with a rough texture, full of stains and sweat marks. Their expressions seem to be different from those of cycling, and few look depressed.
"It turned out to be the bell for getting off work..." Shang Jianyao suddenly realized.
Speaking of this, he, who was born into a "Pangu creature", is not unfamiliar with Long Yuehong and Jiang Baimian.
At the same time, some elderly residents and obviously disabled people flocked to the gate of the castle, where a soldier wearing thick linen clothes brought out black bread and other food and prepared to distribute it.
"There are fewer elderly people than I imagined." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully to himself.
She originally felt that with the style of "White Knights" that often saves the poor and is good at biology and medical research, there are at most few elderly people over fifty years old than "Pangu" in Gestburg.
But now it looks similar to the original city.
"The factory should be quite hard," Long Yuehong had his own explanation.
The charging Gnava interjects in time:
“Before the old world was destroyed, the area occupied by the White Knights was not suitable for planting and grazing.”
"When I was in the 'First City', I also heard that the living conditions of the 'White Knights' were relatively poor." Bai Chen nodded and added a few words, "It is entirely up to the rich mineral resources and the advanced biotechnology to exchange for materials that meet basic needs."
At this time, Shang Jianyao withdrew his gaze, touched his stomach and said:
"The White Knights are distributing food, so we should consider what to eat at night."
He used physical movements to indicate that he was hungry.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:
"Laoge continues to charge. We go downstairs to ask the front desk to see what food can be obtained in the hotel, and try not to go out."
This hotel, called "Fire and Iron", does not have wired telephones in the room, or in most places in Gestburg, this condition does not exist.
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao took the lead in going out.
He came from the third floor to the bottom floor and asked the man at the front desk:
“Can you order food?”
"Order?" The man didn't seem to understand why he ordered in the hotel. "Isn't this supposed to find a restaurant?"
"You guys!" Shang Jianyao was heartbroken, "How can such a service grow and grow? In the old world, in other places..."
He said a lot, and finally let the front desk understand what ordering service is.
The blonde man shook his head and said:
“None of our hotels here has such services.”
He had no intention of improving this at all, but instead persuaded Shang Jianyao:
"It's boring and boring to stay in the room all the time. It's better to go to a restaurant and a cafe.
"If the weather wasn't quite cold now, I wouldn't be willing to do this job. Carrying a hunting rifle, going to hunt on the ice field, and looking for ruins, would be what the descendants of the knights should do."
Although I can't say everything, this should represent a certain atmosphere of the "White Knights"... Jiang Baimian nodded quietly and asked before Shang Jianyao:
“What restaurants are there nearby? Can I order food by phone?”
"There is no phone number." The front desk shook his head again.
In Gestburg, there are only a few places where telephones are installed.
This area where people live here is small or large. Twenty or thirty minutes is enough to allow healthy people to reach any destination.
"Then you can only go out to eat." Jiang Baimian frowned, "or should I move some cans in the car and deal with them for a few meals?"
Thinking of eating canned food again, Long Yuehong instinctively showed a embarrassed expression.
Shang saw Yao and said righteously:
“There is a problem with the latter plan.”
"What's the problem?" Jiang Baimian asked with a giggle.
Shang Jianyao glanced at the front desk and walked a few steps towards the hotel entrance.
When Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen followed, he said in a low voice:
"There is not much left, so if you spend a few more meals, you will definitely see the bottom.
"At that time, we have to go out to purchase supplies. With Xiaohong's fate, this is also likely to cause accidents and cause chain reactions. If this forces us to leave Gestburg, we will not only not have enough batteries, but also have no food, and it will be even more miserable!
“So, we have to ensure that food is stored above the safety line.”
"It's obviously your fate..." Long Yuehong retorted in a muttering way.
In addition to this, he actually felt that what Shang Jianyao said was quite reasonable.
Jiang Baimian, who was attacked by Shang Jianyao with his spear, was speechless for a moment.
Although the remaining food in the "old tuner group" is not as small as Shang Jianyao said, after so many days of consumption, it is indeed not too much.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Baimian sighed:
"Hey, go upstairs and say to Lao Ge, so that he can recharge with peace of mind, let's go to the nearby area to find food."
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao was happy and looked at him.
Based on the cautiousness and fear of causing accidents, the "old tuner group" found a restaurant nearby on the street of "Fire and Iron" Hotel.
It is called "Old Henry". Only two lights are turned on in the store, and the light is very dim.
Shang Jianyao and others were about to find a seat when they suddenly saw the waiter delivering four dishes to a table of guests.
One of the guests with pale yellow hair and hooked nose pointed to the strange-shaped flesh in front of him and said:
“Is this steak?”
"Sir, it is indeed a steak, but you should be very clear that most of the steaks you can eat in Gesterburg are distorted species, and the price also shows the problem." The waiter replied quite calmly.
"Abnormal species?" The guest with the hook nose was startled.
Can this thing be eaten?
The waiter immediately showed a look of vigilance:
"Aren't you from our White Knights?"
The guest with the hook nose was confused for a few seconds and said:
"We are from a ranch in the south. We just joined your "White Knights". I heard that Gestburg has many job opportunities and can earn a lot of supplies, so I came here."
Like other major forces, the "White Knights" can only rule the towns on the main traffic line. There are still large and small settlements of human or secondary people in the mountains, wilderness, and in the Gobi.
The waiter's expression calmed down:
"No wonder you don't know the aberrant species.
"A long time ago, a cattle had a distortion and became suitable for the environment here and could reproduce better. Our White Knights used this model to cultivate this cattle using genetic technology. It has a lot of meat and is cheap, which is the first choice for most people."
"Why is it cheap?" asked the guest with a hook nose.
The waiter smiled and said:
"Eating too much can easily cause distortion and cause various malignant diseases.
"Don't worry, you won't have any problems if you only take it a few times. When you find a job, save enough money, and buy genetic modification potions, you won't be afraid. The cheapest x-3 potion will allow you to gain the ability to fight this kind of distortion..."
Not only did the guests look at each other, but even Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen look at me and I look at you, and I feel a wonderful magical feeling.
In biotechnology, the "White Knights" and "Pangu" seem to be heading in different directions due to different environments.
The four of them hesitated for a moment, but they found a table to sit down, waiting for another waiter.
——There are many people from other places in the "White Knights" here, and the restaurant business is pretty good and can afford to hire three or four people.
Jiang Baimian suppressed Shang Jianyao's idea of trying out distorted species and ordered a bunch of foods with normal meat, but the prices were not low.
After she finished it, Shang Jianyao, who finally found the opportunity, looked at the waiter, pressed his voice and asked mysteriously:
"You guys, do you have that?"
The waiter's expression changed, he glanced left and right, bent down and asked in a low voice:
Chapter completed!
