The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 165 Long-lost fireworks

"What's your name bro?"

Zhang Su took out his cigarette and handed one to the man, and asked.

"My surname is Zu, a relatively rare surname with the character Meng. I am forty-five this year and much older than my brothers. It is not nice to call me Laozu. You can just call me Lao Meng. This is my sister, Zutong. He's younger than me, he's thirty-three this year, what's your surname?"

"My surname is Zhang, Zhang Su."

"Boss Zhang, let's stop talking here. Let's take a walk and sit in the yard. I have delicious food and drinks there. Let's chat while eating. Please tell me what's going on outside."

Zu Meng was very enthusiastic and tried his best to invite Zhang Su and others into the B&B to talk.

"Don't panic..."

Zhang Su pushed Zu Meng's hand away without leaving a trace and said, "I still have some friends down the mountain."

"You still have friends? Oh, that's great. Boss Zhang, call all your friends. Our place hasn't been so lively in a long time. Sister, go and notify Xiao Chen and Master Liu. We will entertain the guests later. , prepare a sumptuous table, eh, by the way, Boss Zhang, how many people are there in total?"

Zu Meng seemed to be back to the normal business of the farmhouse. He warmly entertained the guests, asked about the number of guests and informed them of meal preparations.

Standing in the parking lot before, he had not heard the sound in the depths. After walking a few yards inside, he heard the sound of chickens and ducks playing. It was a paradise scene, and it was really disappointing to think of the desolate life in the city. People yearn for it.

"Oh, it's so strange to say that those chickens and ducks all fainted after the disaster broke out, and they suddenly woke up again after the heavy rain a few days ago."

"Haha, Lao Meng, 10% or 20% of the hard work fee is not much, but why should I pay you to just take over this place? Aren't everything ours?"

The four of them, Zhang Su, looked at each other in confusion. The owner of this farmhouse and B&B had a really strange mind. He didn't forget to do business even in the end of the world. It was really weird.

"Lao Meng, do you even raise chickens and ducks here?"

Zhang Su pulled out the walkie-talkie and said: "It's okay. There are some B&B owners here. Show them your weapons. You all can come up."

"Brother Su, brother Su, I heard gunshots, what's the problem?"

Zhang Su patted the rifle on his chest.

Zu Meng was as eager to receive guests as he always was.

Zhang Su said with a slight smile, while carefully observing the other person's expression.

"Okay, let's trust you for once, don't try to play any tricks!"

As he was talking, Lu Yubo's voice came from the intercom in his breast pocket.

"Sister, go quickly and tell them to prepare meals for twenty people. Twenty people will have three tables, hahaha."

Zu Meng smiled sarcastically and said: "Brother Zhang is right, but I don't think these people are perpetrators of evil. Besides, if you are carrying guns and really want to rob us, how can you talk to me here for a long time? , that’s not a waste of effort, right?”

"Hehehehe..." Lao Meng rubbed his hands and said, "Boss Zhang, we are not inviting you to dinner. There are twenty of you, so you must have brought a lot of supplies with you. We charge 10% or 20% more for the ingredients provided. Do you think the hard-earned fee is reasonable?"

Hey!
While talking, Zhang Su turned on the safety and pulled the trigger to fire a burst, directly opening an eye on the nearest signboard.

"Twenty people."

Zhang Su didn't see any clues, but the more this happened, the more he felt there was something wrong, so he asked: "Old Meng, you should know that supplies are becoming more and more scarce now, and food is eaten less. Many people in the city are You wish you could eat human flesh, why are you so generous in inviting us to dinner?"

In an antique courtyard, Zhang Su was sitting on a bamboo chair. There were exquisite tea sets on the tea table in front of him. The fragrance of tea lingered and was refreshing.

The sudden gunshot startled Zu Meng, his slightly fleshy face trembled, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no!"

Zu Meng played with the tea set skillfully, and it could be seen that he was a person who knew how to enjoy himself before.

"By the way, didn't the heavy rainstorm a few days ago affect you?"

Speaking of animals waking up, Zhang Su suddenly remembered the heavy rain.

Zu Meng smiled confidently and said: "The boss didn't know something. The boss of this scenic spot was too arrogant at the time because there was someone behind him, and he was punished. The inspection was very strict, and the fire and flood prevention measures were completed beyond the standard, which can be regarded as an advantage for us." These are business people, haha.”

"Old Meng, you guys are awesome. You have water, electricity, and modern life. You don't know how miserable it is in the city now... Oh, no, electricity relies on solar panels. Where does the water come from? I don't know. See the well!”

Zhao Dezhu watched Zu Meng playing with the two tea sets in his hands and couldn't help asking questions.

"There is a reservoir on the mountain. The water for our farmhouse comes from that reservoir, which saves a lot of money. This was a big gimmick for attracting investment in the scenic spot, haha. Alas... that was all in the past. .”

After talking about it, Zu Meng felt a little sentimental. He set out teacups and poured a cup for each of them.

"Brother Su."

"Brother Su, Sister Xue and Xiao Pang are guarding the car."

At this moment, a group of people who drove up the mountain walked into the courtyard under the leadership of Zu Tong, making the originally spacious courtyard suddenly crowded.

"Hahaha, there are so many customers. If this happened in the past, I would have made a lot of money."

Zu Meng rubbed his hands with great excitement and kept moving stools to invite everyone to sit down.

"We won't let you do business at a loss now. We haven't had a decent meal for a long time. As long as your cook satisfies us, we will give you 20% of the reward!"

Zhang Su picked up the teacup and smelled it, then took a piece of dried meat from the plate and threw it to Good Luck. She ate it happily, it was so beautiful.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Boss Zhang. I'll go and supervise it personally. If the food doesn't taste good, slap me!"

After saying that, Zu Meng greeted everyone politely and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Su called Zu Meng and said to the people around him: "We are not in the habit of sitting and waiting for food. Zhuzi, Lao Tan, and Xiao Shuai, let's go together and help the master!"

"okay!"

The three of them stood up immediately after hearing this and nodded understandingly. "It's so majestic for the bosses to enter the kitchen with guns on their backs. Hahaha, let's go, I'll lead the way."

Zu Meng naturally knew why Zhang Su sent people to go with him, so he didn't waste any time.

"Well, I won't hinder the bosses from chatting here. Please feel free to eat and drink here."

Zu Tong was so busy that he was sweating on his forehead. He seemed to notice that the atmosphere was slightly awkward and quickly left.

"go Go."

Zhang Su waved his hand and was about to talk to his companions. He didn't want outsiders to be around. After he could no longer hear the footsteps, he asked, "What do you think of this place?"

"It's simply too good!"

"There is water and fields, and I saw there are greenhouses for growing vegetables. Let's go to the village to get some seeds and put them in the fields. We will not have to worry about food and drink."

"There is only one way up the mountain. It shouldn't be difficult to defend. It's a rare and good place."

"I see there is a two-story B&B over there. If there are survivors worth absorbing in the future, there will be a place for them."

Everyone spoke one after another, and they all felt that Tianma Island was impeccable.

Lu Yubo winked and said, "Everything else is pretty good. It's just those farmhouse owners who always seem weird to me. Brother Su, do you feel this way?"

"I think Zu Meng drank this water before, so there is no problem." Zhang Su poured a cup of hot water after pouring the tea away. After drinking half the cup, he said, "Bo Zai, don't tell me, I feel the same as you." , but so far I haven’t found a problem.”

"Maybe we have seen too many ghosts and are not used to seeing people..."

Zhang Ya murmured.

"There are only four of them. It's really hard to manage such a large area. It's understandable that we hope there will be survivors to come and develop together. At least they shouldn't have the guts to go against us?"

As Master Jia spoke, he also patted the rifle on the back of his shoulder. The meaning was obvious. We have a large number of people and carry guns. Normal people would choose to please us.

"The old meng brother and sister are like real businessmen. Again, I don't see the problem for the time being, but we shouldn't take it lightly. Persecutory paranoia is very useful in today's world. We can prevent it as much as we can. Investigate They’ll talk about it after a while!”

After Zhang Su said this, he took out the walkie-talkie and asked Zhao Xue and Pang Pangkun to be more careful.

When Zhang Su put down the walkie-talkie, Liu Tianji smiled and said: "Brother Su, are we planning to set up camp here?"

Zhang Su took a look at the scattered B&B houses and said, "Let's wait and see after tonight. I hope everything is peaceful!"

After living in a stable and harmonious society for more than twenty years, it only takes more than twenty days of unrest lingering on the lifeline to make people's sense of security shattered. Even if the beauty is right in front of them, they still dare not relax their vigilance.

Everyone didn't wander around, just waiting in the courtyard for dinner.

Smoke rises, and the smell of fireworks fills the air...

Three-quarters of an hour later, three Eight Immortals tables were set up in the courtyard. Except for the two people guarding the car, Zhang Su invited the Zumeng brothers, sister and two chefs to dine together. There were more than 20 people in total, which was very lively.

Zhang Su also met Chen Minwen and Liu Da, who had been working in the kitchen.

According to Zu Meng's introduction, Chen Minwen used to work as a pastry foreman in a hotel, responsible for the production of Chinese pastries. Liu Da was so good that he served as a chef in a prestigious hotel in Qincheng.

"Boss Zhang, with such a good dish, do you want some wine to go with it? We don't have this very good wine. We still have ordinary Luzi and Guzi. If you like the fresh fragrance and the fifteen-year-old blue and white, hehe."

Zu Meng held two bottles of wine in his hand to promote.

Zhang Su smiled and waved his hands and said: "There is no need for wine, let's have some drinks!"

If there were no outsiders, everyone could still have a drink or two at their own discretion, but in this situation, no one dared to relax. Even Zhao Dezhu and Jia Shiqin who wanted to have a few sips could only watch the drinks go away helplessly.

"Okay! Coke, Sprite, haha, everything is available under the Assam hawthorn tree."

Soon, Zheng Xinyu and Zhao Dezhu helped Zu Meng bring the drinks to the table.

Even though Zhao Dezhu and others participated in the kitchen work together, Zhang Su waited for Zu Meng and others to use their chopsticks before letting everyone enjoy the food on the table, and also sent it to Zhao Xue and Pang Pangkun who were guarding the car. Had a sumptuous meal.

After the first chopstick dish was put into the mouth, there was a brief silence.

There was a long-lost sense of happiness in everyone's hearts. It has been almost a month since the disaster broke out and they haven't had a bite of food full of fireworks. It was touching.

There were eight dishes on each table, with both meat and vegetables being served hot or cold. When Tan Huajun was busy in the kitchen, he even fished out two large chicken drumsticks for good luck. He was lying at Zhang Su's feet and his mouth was filled with oil.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very quiet. Zu Meng wanted to chat and liven up the atmosphere. However, Zhang Su and his party were all busy eating. The rice in the two commercial rice cookers was basically wiped out. The dishes and plates on the table were also clean. There was some left in the drink.

"Oh, if we had seen this scene before, we would have checked ourselves whether the portion of food was too small, haha."

Zu Meng looked at the piles of clean empty plates and smiled from ear to ear. Unknown, he thought he had really made a lot of money.

Zhang Su has been secretly observing the four of them. The ancestral brother and sister are very friendly, while the two chefs are relatively quiet. These are normal, and no problems have been found from beginning to end.

When he saw Zu Meng and others starting to clear the table, he said, "Old Meng, is today's meal of fifty kilograms of rice and twenty kilograms of vegetables enough?"

"Fifty pounds..."

Zu Meng rolled his eyes and calculated, and said with a smile: "The rice and vegetables are definitely enough, but the meat..."

"What kind of meat is meat? Can't rice be used to feed chickens? Chickens lay eggs and eggs produce chickens. Isn't it just meat? How interesting!"

Zhao Dezhu was very clear about the inventory in the car. There was a lot of rice, noodles, vegetables, etc., but there was a lack of meat.

"Yes, yes, that's what Boss Zhao said."

Zu Meng was startled by Zhao Dezhu and nodded repeatedly without daring to say anything.
