Natural Disaster: After hoarding hundreds of millions of supplies, I lay down and won

Chapter 209 Food is hard currency
Zhang Cheng walked in front and helped open the door.

After entering, the light inside is not very bright.

Whether it is the light or the decoration style, it is somewhat biased towards the retro wood style.

This kind of decoration, let alone in the apocalypse, can be regarded as a very good decoration even before the apocalypse, and the price will not be cheap.

Just looking at this decoration, Nan Ci became more and more certain that this base must have existed before the end of the world.

As soon as I walked in, before I took two steps, a male waiter in his 20s came up to him.

This male waiter is not very handsome, but he has good facial features, is clean and neatly dressed, has a friendly smile on his face, and speaks in a gentle voice.

Just one face-to-face experience made people feel very good about him.

I didn’t know if Zhang Cheng was acquainted with him or if he really knew him, so he just smiled and greeted him.

"You two distinguished guests, don't you want a quieter seat?"

"Of course, how about the window on the second floor?"

Zhang Cheng did not answer this time, but turned to look at Nan Ci and asked for Nan Ci's opinion.

Nan Ci nodded slightly, "Okay!"

When the waiter heard this, he led them upstairs.

Along the way, Nan Ci also observed the situation in the store.

Probably because it wasn't a meal, there weren't many people eating in the store.

There were only two or three tables on the entire first floor, and the seats were spread out. In addition, the lights were dim, so not only could they not hear their conversations, but they could not see their faces clearly.

When we came to the second floor, the light was better than that on the first floor because of the windows.

Sitting in the booth next to the window, there is no need to turn on any ambient lights at all, just natural light is enough.

Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest sat down on the same side. Zhang Cheng stood opposite them with his body bent and did not sit down immediately.

Seeing that he didn't sit down, Nan Ci pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down too, how can you eat while standing?"

"Thank you beauty."

Zhang Cheng nodded and bowed before sitting down carefully.

The male waiter stood aside and saw all this, but the expression on his face did not change at all, and he did not say a word.

It wasn't until Nan Ci looked at him and asked him for a menu that he handed the menu to Nan Ci.

The menu is extensive and exquisite.

Both the menu design and the dishes on it are no different from the mid-to-high-end Sichuan restaurants before the apocalypse.

Nan Ci quickly flipped through the menu, ordered three dishes, and handed the menu to the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest turned it over again and added one vegetable, one soup, three portions of ice powder, and the staple food was rice.

The waiter stood aside to take notes and did not leave after taking the menu.

Zhang Cheng, who had been silent all this time, stood up again with a cautious smile on his face.

"Beauty, it's like this. The situation now is quite special. If you want to eat, you have to pay the bill first. You see..."

Zhang Chengyue spoke in a lower voice, with a cautious expression on his face, as if he was afraid that Nan Ci would get angry.

Nan Ci was not angry at all.

From the moment she walked in, everything in this store gave Nan Ci a feeling of being before the end of the world, which even made her doubt the authenticity of the end of the world.

It was only now that she saw Zhang Cheng's cautious expression and heard him say that he had to pay first before eating, that Nan Ci felt that this was indeed the end of the world.

Nan Ci smiled and said, "It's understandable. I pay the bill with food."

As he spoke, Nan Ci opened the backpack on his side and took out a bag of vacuum-packed Wuchang rice.The five-pound package of rice is intact, the date is one year ago, and the shelf life is three years.

This kind of rice, bought in supermarkets or shopping malls before the end of the world, would cost dozens of bags.

By now, the price is probably not as simple as increasing several times.

Nan Ci clearly noticed that after she took out the bag of rice, the waiter and Zhang Cheng both breathed heavier.

Just from the reactions of the two people, we knew that this kind of rice was still in short supply in this base.

Just as Nan Ci was thinking about it, he heard the waiter say, "Two bags of this kind of rice are enough to pay for the meal."

Although the waiter's attitude was very good from the moment they walked in.

But Nan Ci still heard it. When the man spoke, his voice was more respectful than before.

After experiencing so many natural disasters, there are also many man-made disasters.

He can still have food in his hand, and he still packs food of this quality in this way. You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.

Maybe he was a powerful person, otherwise he wouldn't be so wealthy.

Such a person, not to mention licking, but his attitude must be the best.

Nan Ci fully accepted the slight change in the waiter's attitude.

Let alone in the bedroom, this kind of thing was very common even before the end of the world.

This is human nature, there is no need to worry about it.

Nan Ci took out another bag of rice from his backpack, gave both bags to the waiter, and said, "Serve the food faster."

"Okay, don't worry."

The waiter agreed, then turned around and left with two bags of rice.

He could obviously carry a bag with one hand, but he still wanted to hold the rice in his arms. Just from the way he popped the rice, you could tell how much he treasured these two bags of rice.

Nan Ci only stared at the waiter's back for a few seconds, then looked away.

Only then did I realize that Zhang Cheng, sitting opposite, was still watching the waiter's leaving figure.

It wasn't until the waiter came down the stairs and disappeared completely that Zhang Cheng turned his head reluctantly and still lingering.

As soon as he turned his gaze, Zhang Chengcheng directly met Nan Ci's smiling eyes.

Zhang Cheng was obviously taken aback, and the smile on his face dropped, "Beauty, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I accidentally looked too fascinated."

Nan Ci smiled, "It seems you like it very much! I still have rice like this here -"

When Nan Ci said this, he deliberately did not continue, but instead prolonged the ending.

Zhang Cheng understood instantly and immediately patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, beauty! As long as it's a question you ask, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

As the old saying goes, money can make the world go round.

In this apocalyptic world full of hunger and death, food is the absolute hard currency.

In most cases, you can basically get what you want by using food as a lure.

Nan Ci stopped talking in circles and said directly, "Before the food is served, please tell me the general situation of this base."

Zhang Cheng subconsciously sat up straight, clenched his hands into fists and placed them on his knees, sitting in a regular posture, like a primary school student.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Cheng slowly spoke.

"Actually, there was no base here before, and there were no houses like these. It was just a deserted Gobi Desert, with no human habitation for hundreds of kilometers..."
