I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 276: Mr. Ling Ya traveled thousands of miles just to eat a bowl of noodles?

Summer.

Anxi Province.

According to the Anxi people, Anxi Province is the western gate of Daxia, leading to the eastern region of the Dongzhou continent.

Since the cold wave disaster struck, due to its geographical location, Anxi Province and several neighboring provinces have been hit harder than other provinces.

Even more snow monsters are born there than in other places.

Morning time.

Yang Fan appeared on the streets of Xijing City, the capital of Anxi Province, with a brand new face and wearing thick cold-resistant clothes.

of course.

This is not me.

But it is a clone.

However, for Yang Fan, the clone is merely a carrier, and the main body and the clone share the same soul.

So whether it is a clone or the main body, there is actually not much difference.

by the way.

Since receiving the highest national medal, he asked the country to help him get several new identities in order to facilitate his activities in the country.

Each identity has a very detailed resume, all kinds of files are available, and all are officially certified information.

In short.

This is a completely legal identity.

Only a very small number of departments with extremely high confidentiality levels know the true details of these identities.

The current identity of the clone is named Zhang Xuan.

According to official files, Zhang Xuan is a senior intelligence officer affiliated with the Daxia Security Intelligence Agency.

A normal senior intelligence officer is usually only responsible for one aspect of the matter.

This identity is not normal.

Zhang Xuan has the authority to investigate all matters related to Daxia, whether they are economic, livelihood, or official affairs.

The information sent out by Zhang Xuan will be delivered directly to certain important figures at the fastest speed.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

Yang Fan walked slowly on the snow.

Due to the cold temperature, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets.

Yang Fan turned his head and looked around, looking at the thick snow on the road, and shook his head slightly.

In Linjiang City.

Whenever there is heavy snow, the entire city will carry out a large-scale snow-clearing campaign the next day, and every street and alley will be swept clean.

But Xijing City is different.

In many places, the snow was even more than two meters thick, which was obviously not something that happened in a day or two.

It can be seen that in terms of urban maintenance, the City Hall of Xijing City seems to be far less attentive than that of Linjiang City.

More than ten seconds passed.

"Om~"

A buzzing sound came from the sky.

A row of small black dots quickly passed by from above.

Yang Fan subconsciously stopped and looked up.

This is a fleet of drones that patrol the city regularly.

In order to deal with the occasional snow monsters, the military has now deployed a large number of drones in various cities to closely monitor every corner of the city.

Xijing City is no exception.

Yang Fan muttered quietly, "Three drone formations have passed by in such a short time. The military in charge of Xijing City is quite attentive."

He was just about to take a step when he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky again.

I saw a drone break away from the formation and fly towards this side quickly, with its flying altitude constantly decreasing.

soon.

The drone flew a few meters away and remained in a hovering state.

A male voice came out: "Mr. Zhang Xuan, do you need any help?"

The face was not obscured and could be easily identified by facial recognition systems, so the military knew his name.

The other party saw him walking alone on the street and was worried about his safety, so he came up to him and asked.

Yang Fan smiled and shook his head: "No need!"

The male voice did not persuade him any further: "Snow monsters have appeared more frequently recently, please be sure to pay attention to your own safety."

Yang Fan nodded politely: "Thank you!"

"Buzz!"

The vibrations immediately intensified.

The drone quickly took off and flew away.

Yang Fan watched the drone fly away: "Since they knew there were so many snow monsters, why didn't the city hall organize people to clean up the city in time?"

He sighed quietly: "Are you going to keep it to raise the snow monster?"

Yang Fan’s mind moved, and he “saw” a magical existence in his mind.

This is a mark shaped like a snowflake.

When he was in the ancient skeleton space, he obtained the regular objects in the space.

Later, with the help of Xiao Ya's world power and the catalytic effect of the astrological traces, he transformed the rule object into this snowflake mark.

Yang Fan called it the Ice Seal.

This is a power on the same level as the power of the world.

He extended a wisp of his spirit and quietly touched the Ice Seal.

next moment.

The law seal emitted a faint white light.

Yang Fan instantly felt that the whole world had become different.

A snowflake mark flashed across his pupils, and his brows furrowed slightly: "In half an hour, it seems that a snow monster will be born nearby."

This is the magical sensing power bestowed by the seal of law.

Finding the birth patterns of snow monsters and predicting their appearances are ongoing research in Daxia and even the whole world.

so far.

No country, including Daxia, has solved this problem.

With the Ice Seal, Yang Fan was able to do it effortlessly.

He turned his head to look at a pile of snow not far away and whispered softly, "It seems to be here."

In his vision.

I saw tiny streams of energy gathering towards the inside of the snow pile.

obviously.

A yeti is in the making.

Yang Fan stretched out his right hand and made a "pulling" gesture.

The law seal flashed again.

A strand of supernatural cold energy was drawn out, condensed into a small ice bead, and appeared in the palm of his hand.

The yeti, which had not yet been born, was strangled in its infancy.

Now that he has encountered this incident, he will naturally not sit idly by.

Yang Fan put away the ice beads and muttered, "It seems that there seems to be a small problem in Xijing City."

If the snow is cleared in time, even if a snow monster appears, the damage it causes will not be too great because there will be no replenishment of snow.

on the contrary.

A yeti can quickly grow to enormous size, with the potential to cause incredible damage.

Giant snow monsters of huge sizes have been born in many countries on the Blue Star, and there are many related videos circulating on the Internet.

The largest snow monster among them is a super snow python that appeared in the Duchy of Fontaine, with a body length of an astonishing 50 meters.

The country's military dispatched bombers and dropped more than ten tons of bombs before killing the snow python monster.

*
five minutes later.

Near a residential area, Yang Fan pushed open the door of a ramen restaurant and immediately felt a burst of hot air.

There weren't many customers in the noodle shop. There were only eight or nine people sitting at the dozen or so tables.

The waiter stood behind the counter and just smiled and said "Welcome" without asking "What would you like to eat?"

Yang Fan looked up at the menu hanging on the wall and felt a little sad.

The noodle shop's menu only has five options.

Compared with the dazzling menu in the past, it can only be described as "shabby".

The cheapest ramen on the menu costs fifteen yuan.

Considering the average income of Daxia people is 2,500 yuan, this price is really not low.

That's why there are so few customers in the noodle shop.

So the clerk didn't ask "What do you want to eat?" because he had seen many customers just look at the menu and turn around and leave.

After all, fifteen yuan can buy several packs of noodles at Daxia Shangtong, and you can cook noodles yourself and have them for many meals.

These days, most people have to be budget-conscious.

In fact.

Due to comprehensive material control, the catering industry has undergone a thorough reshuffle.

Countless restaurants closed down and people working in the restaurant industry lost their jobs.

But the industry hasn’t completely disappeared.

In order to meet the needs of ordinary people, there are now many restaurants in various cities. After all, not everyone is willing to cook at home every day.

Since there is a demand, the state will try its best to meet it.

These restaurants usually belong to several different brands and are operated in a chain manner.

They are either fully controlled by the government or jointly operated, and there is a certain degree of competition among them to avoid a situation where one company dominates the market.

The restaurants Yang Fan saw in Linjiang City mainly sold breakfast items such as steamed buns and steamed buns, or fast food such as boxed lunches and hamburgers.

There is not a single restaurant that mainly serves noodles.

Among the six major restaurant chains in Xijing City, as many as three are noodle restaurants.

This is considered the regional characteristic of Daxia.

The above is the ecology of the catering industry in the era of natural disasters - it doesn’t matter whether you live well or not, as long as you are alive.

At this moment.

Yang Fan looked at the clerk and stated his request: "A bowl of braised pork ramen."

This is the most expensive noodle in the noodle shop, costing as much as 40 yuan. Since it contains meat, the supply is limited.

The clerk immediately raised his head and looked at Yang Fan in surprise before asking, "Are you sure this is braised pork ramen?"

Yang Fan nodded: "Yes."

The clerk asked again: "Do you have a voucher?"

In today's China, anyone who wants to buy something needs both coupons and money.

Consumption vouchers are purchasing qualifications, which are often more valuable than money.

Yang Fan nodded again: "Yes."

The clerk picked up a barcode scanner and said, "Sir, please show me your consumption code!"

"drop!"

Just hear a soft sound.

The payment is completed.

Yang Fan glanced at the mobile phone interface and saw a "99+" icon in the consumption voucher column.

I just deducted a consumption voucher, but the amount displayed is still “99+”.

When he got this identity, the military sent him this confidential mobile phone. He checked the account and found 9999 consumption coupons in it.

This is a number that is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

The clerk tapped the keyboard and asked, "Sir, you are here on a business trip, right?"

Yang Fan asked curiously: "How do you know?"

The clerk's tone was tinged with envy: "Business trips can be reimbursed, so all of you who are on business trips are very generous."

Yang Fan smiled and said nothing more.

He couldn't help feeling a little emotional again.

It turns out that in the minds of ordinary people, a mere bowl of braised pork ramen can actually be considered extravagant.

Only three minutes had passed.

The waiter brought the ramen up and said attentively, "Sir, please enjoy your meal!"

It’s so fast, obviously a pre-prepared dish. All you have to do is cook the noodles and heat the seasoning packet and pour it in.

Before the Age of Natural Disasters, there was a lot of debate about pre-prepared meals.

When the Age of Disasters came, all arguments died down.

After all, these days it’s good enough to have something to eat, who cares about whether pre-prepared meals are healthy or not?
on the other hand.

The pre-prepared meal model can maximize the use of food resources and minimize waste.

Yang Fan picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, tasted it, and nodded slightly.

Although there are various additives, the taste is still good!

He took another bite of the tender braised pork and suddenly had an idea: "Daxia has 600 to 700 million people who mainly eat wheat. Maybe we should put wheat cultivation on the agenda."

He has been committed to the cultivation of rice and has achieved many results.

Now he thinks that in order to cater to the tastes of hundreds of millions of Daxia people, he can try wheat breeding.

Yang Fan muttered secretly: "Let's set a small goal first, and lower the price of ramen."

Thousands of kilometers away.

Beijing.

Lingcrow Office.

This office was officially established after Daxia awarded two of the highest national medals.

Although it is called an "office", it is actually a fairly large six-story building.

There are more than a hundred people in the building, serving Mr. Ling Ya.

This is a special treatment arranged by Daxia for the top domestic powerhouses.

at this time.

In an office.

A staff member suddenly shouted: "Report! Just now, Mr. Ling Ya ordered a bowl of ramen in a noodle restaurant in Xijing City, Anxi Province, under the identity of Zhang Xuan."

The guy paused and described the information more accurately: "A bowl of braised pork ramen."

An official nearby was surprised when he heard this: "Wasn't Mr. Ling Ya still in Hedong Province last night? Why did he suddenly appear in Anxi Province today?"

No one answered.

The official ordered: "Check immediately to see how Mr. Ling Ya got to Anxi Province."

He emphasized again: "Everyone, this is the first time Mr. Ling Ya has appeared in other cities in the country. There must be some reason. I need you to get all the information clear."

soon.

Someone reported the result: "Deputy Director Zhang, we checked and can confirm that Mr. Ling Ya did not use any means of transportation such as airplanes."

What this means is that Mr. Ling Ya went to Anxi Province on his own way.

There's a lot of information here.

Another staff member couldn't help but ask, "It's more than 2,000 kilometers from Hedong Province to Anxi Province. How did Mr. Ling Ya get there?"

Deputy Director Zhang recalled something and said, "Mr. Ling Ya has the ability to send a tree spirit from Da Xia to the Arctic ice sheet. It shouldn't be difficult for him to travel 2,000 kilometers."

Another staff member asked, "Doesn't this mean that as long as Mr. Ling Ya is willing, he can go anywhere on Canglan Star at any time."

Deputy Director Zhang nodded and said, "Even if it's not, it should be similar."

He waved his hand and said, "If Mr. Ling Ya hadn't gone to Anxi Province, we wouldn't have known that the boss was so powerful. Let's report this matter."

"understand!"

Deputy Director Zhang asked again: "By the way, what is the name of that noodle shop?"

The subordinate checked and replied, "Xidu Noodle House Huichang Road Branch."

Deputy Director Zhang muttered quietly, "Is the braised pork ramen in this restaurant really delicious? Did Mr. Ling Ya come all the way here just to eat a bowl of noodles?"
