Chapter 22: The first store

A small cafeteria at the end of the world

So where is it? Please give me an address!

The passengers on the train were like watching three episodes of a suspense drama in a row, nervously waiting for the truth to be revealed.

Snap—

Enter the advertisement.

Someone turned around and asked the person who had just spoken: "You said you knew this place, where is it?"

Many people were still staring at the screen, paying a little attention to the person being questioned.

The young man replied, "It should be the snack bar on the 99th floor of the Paradise in Area A."

"snack bar?"

"Is the food in the store really edible? Like these people in the video?"

The young man scratched his head and frowned, "I don't know. This store is so popular that my friends and I went there several times, but each time it was sold out and closed. I was just about to go there again today, but I didn't expect to see the advertisement on the train."

The snack bar actually cooperated with the train conductor. Her products were already hard to buy, and now it's probably even harder.

The young man who was speaking became more and more depressed the more he thought about it.

There was an uproar in the crowd.

"Ninety-ninth floor, do you want to go take a look?"

"Isn't it fake?"

"I want to go see it! I want to eat!"

"Is that last clip true? Can the food in that store cure amnesia?"

"Isn't amnesia an incurable disease? Even Paradise can't help."

“How do you explain the patient’s reaction in the video?”

No one guessed it was the actor, because it is impossible to act out a state in which a person is losing his soul power and is on the verge of death.

Yu Cai and Mo Cheng's eyes met, and both of them were moved.

This snack bar is very interesting, I want to check it out!

As the discussion became increasingly heated, a new picture suddenly appeared on the small screen with two big red words at the top - Easter Egg.

There is also a line of small words below - We got the staff meal at the snack bar. The content is a bit long, please hit me if you don't like it~

The sense of smugness overflowed the screen.

The next second, Gao Yang's delicate and handsome face appeared on the screen.

"Conductor! He's going to eat at this restaurant too?"

"The train conductor actually appeared in person. This is really impressive."

When the train first came out, the response it caused was no less than that of today's snack bars.

Gao Yang is known as the "Father of Trains" in Dreamland and is very famous.

The elevator door opened and Gao Yang walked out first. The camera once again captured the snack bar standing in front.

As the camera slowly zoomed in, everyone finally saw the entire snack bar - a two-story building with fresh and bright colors.

It is like a small boat floating on the gray ocean, clear and bright.

On the huge blue sign above the door were five big white characters - Lu Yao Snack Shop.

It was getting late in the evening and the shop was closed.

Gao Yang walked over and knocked on the door. The door opened and a purple-haired boy appeared at the door. "You're here quite early."

He noticed the camera set up behind him and frowned slightly: "Why are you holding the camera? Are you taking pictures while eating?"

Gao Yang said, "I want to record my friendship with the store owner, but you won't let me take a photo?"

Purple-haired boy: "Wait a minute, let me ask."

The passengers found it magical that the conductor was actually standing at the door waiting obediently.

After a while, Xiao Qie appeared again and opened the door directly. "The owner is still busy. Please sit wherever you want."

Gao Yang walked in and went straight to the kitchen, and the camera captured the entire interior of the snack bar from his perspective.

In the kitchen, Lu Yao was slicing fish and Quan Shengju was helping.

Because there were so many people, she bought three big grass carps.

At the market, I asked a helpful stall owner to help me kill and remove the fish bones, and then I came back to fillet the fish myself.

Bai Ming, Xingzi, Qi Chen and Xiaoqie, who had just returned from closing the shop, lined up in a row and leaned against the window to watch curiously.

Gao Yang walked over and silently joined the crowd of onlookers, his eyes fixed on the owner's actions.

The camera naturally turned and focused on Lu Yao's hands.

Her hands were as white as jade, and the pale blue blood vessels beneath the skin could be seen through the camera. Her finger bones were slender and long, and her movements of cutting fish were quick and delicate. Slices of fish meat of even thickness soon filled the large white porcelain bowl.

Wash the sliced fish with beer and salt to remove the fishy smell and increase the tenderness.

After draining the water, add a little salt, starch and egg white, knead evenly and set aside.

Lu Yao's movements were quick and smooth. He heated the oil in a pan, stir-fried the fish bones, boiled the soup, filtered the residue, added the fish fillets, and fished it out, all in one go.

Place the blanched bean sprouts and bamboo shoots in the bottom of the casserole in advance, put the fish fillets in, and then top it with minced garlic, dried chili segments, and both green and red dried peppercorns.

Lu Yao also found a bag of vacuum-packed fresh peppercorns from the refrigerator.

The round peppercorns have green skin, and when the bag is loosened, the refreshing peppery and numbing smell spreads in the air.

She took out half of it, cleaned it, put it on the fish fillet, poured boiling hot oil on it, and sizzled—

The white mist dissipated, and the hot oil in the black casserole was still boiling. The bright red chili segments and green peppercorns made the slightly curled fish fillets underneath look snow-white and tender. The violent aroma seemed to have floated to the nose.

Lu Yao casually grabbed a handful of chopped green onions, coriander and cooked sesame seeds and sprinkled them on top, then pushed the casserole to the window. "The boiling fish is ready, let's eat."

The sound of people swallowing saliva could be heard one after another in the carriage. This boiling fish looked so delicious.

The food in this restaurant is not an illusion at all, it seems to be made of real ingredients.

The owner is very skilled and just watching her cook is a pleasure.

Four long tables were put together to form a large table. A large pot of boiling fish fillets only occupied a corner of the table. In the middle was an electric grill pan, and around it were all washed and processed ingredients ready to be grilled, including fresh shrimp, beef, and beef brisket fat...

Eating fish is not enough, they also want to have barbecue.

This is so luxurious!

There seemed to be stars twinkling outside the window, and everyone in the store was sitting together.

Gao Yang picked up a piece of fish fillet first. The fish meat was tender and smooth. The freshness burst out as soon as the tip of the tongue touched the meat, and the aroma of spicy chili peppers fried in oil rolled up. The tongue felt tingling and numb, which was refreshing and satisfying.

Xiao Qi and Ren Min couldn't stop eating, scooping fish meat into the bowl piece by piece.

This fish fillet is absolutely amazing. Although it is made with a lot of spices and seasonings, and is heavy in oil and spicy, it does not cover up the original flavor of the fish. It has a crispy and tender texture, and is full of freshness and fragrance.

The shop assistants were a little more polite than the three guests, but they were definitely not slow in eating.

At first there was polite conversation, but later the only sound was the clinking of cutlery and the slurping of food.

The baked food on the baking tray was emptied one after another, and the big pot of fish was gradually empty.

The Easter egg is indeed very long, almost half an hour.

At the end, the train conductor and two colleagues came out of the snack bar leaning against the wall, their ears and eyes red.

They got so excited during the meal that they even opened some wine.

The last frame finally showed the name and address of the snack bar.

Passenger: “…”

The carriage was very quiet, and everyone seemed indifferent to the contents of the Easter eggs.

The strange silence lasted for a few minutes until the train suddenly stopped at the station.

This station is a transfer station with two routes, one to Area A and the other to Area C next door.

The door opened, and the passengers woke up as if from a dream and rushed to the door frantically.

"Make way, I want to get off!"

"I want to transfer to Area A. I want to go to the snack bar on the ninety-ninth floor!"

"Can you please stop pushing me? I want to get off too!"

Mo Cheng and Yu Cai finally squeezed off the train, but were stuck at the platform entrance, unable to move forward.

The train station would not be so crowded at this time on weekdays because everyone has a clear destination in mind - Lu Yao Snack Shop on the 99th floor of Area A.

The situation in other areas is similar to that in Area D. Everyone who sees the train advertisement is curious about the snack bar and wants to go and see the store immediately.

K zone.

Areas without open theme parks are more dependent on trains than other areas, and more people take the trains for entertainment than other areas.

In the morning, the small screens on both sides of the train suddenly lit up, almost instantly attracting the attention of all passengers on the train.

Meng Qin sat near the door, his elbows resting on the armrest, his brows furrowed, staring at the screen without blinking.

Xiao Qi and Ren Min were eating, the spring scenery was beautiful outside the window, and the four people on the second floor were leisurely enjoying afternoon tea... These fresh and vivid scenes caused a strong reaction among the passengers, but Meng Qin just watched quietly, motionless.

It was not until the scene where the amnesiac patient ate the snack bar’s delicacies was broadcast that the laziness in Meng Qin’s eyes disappeared and he sat up straight without making a sound.

Can the food in this restaurant cure amnesia

The live broadcast signal did not cover the area, and there was no theme park or cinema in Zone K. Compared with other areas, it was almost isolated from the outside world and the news was severely blocked.

After watching the advertisement, most passengers had confused expressions on their faces, not understanding whether this was a live broadcast of a game or if there really was such a small shop

It was not until the easter egg was over that they suddenly realized something, and almost everyone was ready to switch to area A to take a look.

Before the subway station was completely paralyzed, Meng Qin hurriedly got off the train and changed direction to Area J.

The situation in Zone J is similar to that in Zone K. There are too many people transferring lines, and each platform is overcrowded.

Fortunately, the place he wanted to go was not far away. Meng Qin’s destination was the only theme park in District J.

The park is open only to patients with amnesia, but visitors are allowed.

Meng Qin registered at the gate and walked into the park.

He went to the theme park first, but didn't find anyone there, so he went to the cinema opposite the theme park to look for someone.

After searching both places, he couldn't find the man. He stood blankly in the middle of the open space with a heavy and painful expression.

"Meng Qin, why are you here?"

A gentle female voice came from behind. Meng Qin turned around abruptly and saw that person slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Ning Yun, you are still here."

He couldn't find her anywhere, and he thought she had...

Ning Yun walked towards him slowly, "I was basking in the sun on the rooftop. Why did you come here suddenly?"

Meng Qin did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you feel better?"

Ning Yun had a faint smile on his face and shook his head slowly.

She is very thin, but she has a nice smile.

Just like... just like the row of little succulents he had just seen on the train, strong yet cute.

Ning Yun said: "Games with too low difficulty are useless, and I can't stand games with too high difficulty. I feel like vomiting when I enter. I watched a lot of live broadcasts, but it didn't help."

She also wanted to get better and be with him forever, but once she got this disease, she would never be cured.

She currently has only mild symptoms, but they will be eroded away soon.

Meng Qin stepped forward and held her hand. "If you can't bear it, don't force yourself. I found a place where you can get better without going to paradise. Come with me."

Ning Yun didn't understand and grabbed him, "How can there be such a place? Is it a sanatorium?"

Meng Qin shook his head, eager to take her out, "You'll know once you get there, but we have to hurry, many people are rushing there."

Meng Qin took Ning Yun out of the park, drove a black car out of a nearby warehouse, and drove Ning Yun straight to Area A.

The car was made by Meng Qin himself. Trains are more convenient for traveling in this world, and he seldom drives himself.

Today was an exception. The train station was already jammed with traffic. In order to take Ning Yun to the snack bar as soon as possible, he chose to drive.

He was extremely grateful that when he sent Ning Yun to the paradise, he had arranged a new residence nearby and even prepared a car.
