The first food stall in the wasteland

Shen Lu smiled and said nothing. She was very confident in her craft, but she was not arrogant enough to crush everyone.

The reason why Bai Wanwan said this is probably because of the filter.

"The King of Kitchen Competition will start in a while. Will you sign up?" Bai Lei suddenly said, "You should be able to sign up. Basically, all restaurants in the imperial capital will participate in this competition."

"No." Shen Lu is not interested in competitions or anything like that. She just wants to keep a low profile and make money by doing tasks and maxing out the store's defense as soon as possible.

It's better to avoid things that make people want to be in the limelight.

"Ah? Why?" Bai Lei was ready to support Shen Lu when the time came, to see if he could have some food and drinks, but he didn't sign up.

Bai Wanwan: "If Xiaolu doesn't go, he won't go. There's no reason why."

"I'm very busy and can't get away." Shen Lu explained.

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to speak, a maid came and knocked on the door, saying that Miss Li's family was here.

"Sister Qin is here?" Bai Wanwan was very surprised and stood up quickly, "I'll be down right away."

Bai Wanwan ran into the cloakroom in a hurry, then turned around and pulled Shen Lu with her, "Quickly, let's change clothes and go down."

Shen Lu didn't want to move, "I'm your guest, so I don't need to go down."

"Stop dawdling, hurry up."

Bai Wanwan insisted, and Shen Lu had no choice but to do as he pleased. The two of them changed clothes, tidied their hair a little, and went downstairs to meet the guests with Bai Lei, who had also changed clothes.

When he saw the woman sitting on the sofa, Shen Lu was stunned for a moment.

"Sister Qin, I thought you wouldn't be able to make it." Bai Wanwan held the other person's hand affectionately.

Li Qin smiled and said: "Today is your birthday, of course I have to say happy birthday to you in person."

She turned her head and saw Shen Lu, who was two steps behind.

"Have you...have I seen you?"

Bai Wanwan, who was about to introduce Li Qin, exclaimed, "This is my friend Shen Lu. Do you know Sister Qin?"

Shen Lu stepped forward, "It turns out to be Researcher Li. I have been to the research institute before."

"It's you!" Li Qin remembered, "You are actually Wanwan's friend."

Shen Lu smiled and nodded. Bai Wanwan curiously asked about the process of their acquaintance. Li Qin briefly explained.

"I haven't even been to a research institute!" Bai Wanwan pouted.

"That's not a good place." Li Qin said.

Bai Wanwan: "But I'm curious."

The importance of the Research Institute in the survival base of the Imperial City cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. It is no exaggeration to say that the food, clothing, housing and transportation of everyone in the Imperial City are closely related to the Research Institute.

Li Qin only asked for two hours of leave. Excluding the time on the road, she didn't have much time to spend at Bai's house. After all, it was a rare trip and she had to go back to see her parents.

How could Shen Lu waste this opportunity and ask if he could exchange contact information with Li Qin?

Li Qin did not agree immediately, but just smiled lightly.

Shen Lu was not surprised. She and Li Qin had a close relationship, and it was normal for the other party not to exchange contact information with her.

"It's like this. I accidentally planted a pot of spring onions some time ago." Shen Lu clicked on a picture and released the permission so that everyone could see it. "They sprouted, but they grew very slowly. I have never planted them before. After going through this, I’m afraid that something might go wrong later, so I want to leave a contact information with Researcher Li so I can ask about it then.”

The picture was accidentally taken two days ago when Shen Lu was basking in the sun in the yard in the afternoon. Under the warm sunshine, the thin green stripes in the flowerpot looked particularly weak against the earthy yellow background.

The optical brain photo will automatically record the time and location. Li Qin looked at the footnote and saw that it was a recent photo, and the location was Pinjin Street·Xiaolu Food.

"You planted this?" Li Qin asked.

"Yes."

Li Qin did not believe Shen Lu immediately. After all, the time and place could not be changed, but the other party was Bai Wanwan's friend, so the possibility of lying was very small. After careful consideration, she chose to leave her contact information with Shen Lu.

"If you are free in the next two days, you can bring your pot of spring onions and come to the institute to see me."

Whether it was true or not, she would know it with her own eyes.

Shen Lu's inner villain clenched his fists and yelled bingo, and he exchanged optical brain numbers with Li Qin with a very respectful look on his face.

Great, she finally has a legitimate reason to sneak into the institute!
And it’s not a one-time thing, and it doesn’t have to be stuck in a research institute.

After sending Li Qin away, Bai Wanwan and Bai Lei looked at her with meaningful eyes.

Shen Lu picked at his fingers, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Tell me the truth, did you get this dirt from that supplier?"

Only the soil from the research institute can grow things. The various planting bases in the imperial capital have to buy soil from the research institute every year to grow vegetables.

The price of soil is very high. Some people have tried to prepare their own soil, but all failed.

Seeds are not so evil. After all, biological cloning technology has developed to a certain stage here, and breeding seeds is very mature.

The government also encourages citizens to try planting more, so the price of seeds is quite cheap.

"No, I picked up the soil and flower pots that others didn't want and bought the seeds randomly." Shen Lu said half-truthfully.

"Can't you tell, you can also grow vegetables?" Bai Lei looked at the person from head to toe, "Shen Lu, how many things do we still don't know about you?"

Shen Lu spread his hands: "I don't know how to grow. I'm just giving it a try. I'm a restaurant owner. Isn't it normal for me to grow my own vegetables and sell them myself?"

"I believe you will succeed, especially with the help of Sister Qin." Bai Wanwan patted her shoulder, "Sister Qin is very powerful, she is very knowledgeable in botany."

"maybe."

"Stop talking, Shen Lu, I'm still not full." Bai Wanwan touched her belly, "After eating something sweet, I want to eat something salty."

Bai Lei: "Listening to what my sister said, I'm a little hungry too."

Shen Lu: ...

It's really worthy of being sisters and brothers.

Shen Lu was in a good mood, rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen. She saw some small potatoes on the ground, washed them and dried them, and made a large portion of crispy potatoes.

The fragrant and spicy little potatoes came one bite at a time, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Bai Wanwan and Bai Lei rushed to eat them, and even quarreled over the last little potato.

The result was of course Bai Wan Wan Sheng.

Bai Lei said: "Shen Lu, can you do a little more."

The stomach of a young boy is like a bottomless pit, and he will eat endlessly if he encounters something that suits his appetite.

Shen Lu yawned, "I'm sleepy."

Bai Lei couldn't force it.

Early the next morning, when Bai Wanwan was sleeping soundly, Shen Lu had already gotten up.

Father Bai and mother Bai also got up very early and were waiting for breakfast in the living room. They were surprised to see Shen Lu come down.

"Miss Shen got up so early?" Bai Mu asked.

Shen Lu said hello to the two of them, "I have to go back to the store to prepare. Uncle and aunt, I was too annoying last night."

At Bai Mu's insistence, Shen Lu had to take a bag of bread and milk and get into the Bai family's car.

When she returned to Xiaolu Food, Zhao Qian's vegetable truck also arrived.
