Chapter 834 Customs
Shang Jianyao stood up and ran to the window, looking for where the bell came from.
He looked excited and unabashedly curious.
This made Jiang Baimian always feel that this guy was only about ten years old.
She followed to the window, judging from the reactions of pedestrians on the road, the bell should be a common occurrence for the residents here, not worth the fuss, and be highly vigilant.
However, she didn't turn her head away and ordered Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to turn on the lights to dispel the darkness brought to the room in the evening.
She was still standing there, following the bell and looking at its source like Shang Jianyao.
This is the self-cultivation of a folklore scholar.
Soon, Jiang Baimian confirmed that the bell came from Gerst Castle, and as the tallest building here, it seems to have a large clock installed on the top floor.
Not long after the bells subsided, bicycles rushed out of the factory area and into the streets and alleys of the settlement.
They are like white doves that have escaped from the cage, but the color is not so uniform.
On these bicycles with different styles, workers are either happy, full of desire to go home, or happily communicate with the riders around them.
Compared with their peers in the "First City", they have the same dark skin, many traces of sun and rain, smoke and fire, and they are also unable to hide their tiredness.
After the bikes came out, the tidal crowd left the factory area on foot.
Their clothes were either gray or blue, with a very rough texture, full of smudges and sweat marks, and their expressions were as different from those of the cyclists, and few of them looked depressed.
"It turns out to be the bell ...... get off work" Shang Jianyao suddenly realized.
Speaking of this, he, Long Yuehong, and Jiang Baimian, who were born in "Pangu Biology", are no strangers at all.
At the same time, some elderly residents and obviously disabled people rushed to the gate of the castle, where a soldier dressed in thick linen clothes carried out black bread and other food, ready to be distributed.
"There are fewer elderly people than I thought." Jiang Baimian muttered to himself thoughtfully.
She originally felt that with the style of the "White Knights" who often relieved the poor and was good at biological and medical research, there were at most fewer elderly people over fifty years old in Gerstburg than the "Pangu creatures".
But now it looks like it's similar to the original city.
"The factory should be quite hard." Long Yuehong has her own explanation for this.
Charging Gnawa Timely Plug:
"Before the destruction of the Old World, this area occupied by the 'White Knights' was not suitable for planting and grazing."
"I also heard that the living conditions of the 'White Knights' are relatively poor when I was in the 'First City'." Bai Chen nodded and added, "It all depends on the abundance of mineral resources and the development of biotechnology to exchange for materials that meet basic needs."
At this time, Shang Jianyao withdrew his gaze, touched his stomach and said:
"The 'White Knights' are distributing food, and it's time for us to think about what to eat at night."
He used body movements to indicate that he was hungry.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:
"Lao Ge continues to charge, let's go downstairs to ask the front desk to see what food we can get in the hotel, and try not to go out."
The hotel, called "Fire and Iron", does not have a wired telephone in the room, or most places in Güsterburg do not have this condition.
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao took the lead in going out.
He stumbled from the third floor to the ground floor and asked the man at the front desk:
"Can I order?"
"Order?" The person didn't seem to understand why he ordered at the hotel, "Shouldn't we look for a restaurant?"
"You guys!" Shang Jianyao was heartbroken, "How can such a service develop and grow? In the Old World, in Elsewhere......
He talked a lot, and finally let the front desk understand what ordering service is.
The blonde man shook his head and said:
"None of our hotels here have such a service."
He had no intention of improving at all, but persuaded Shang Jianyao:
"It's boring and boring to stay in the room all the time, so it's better to go to a restaurant or café.
"If it weren't for the cold weather now, I wouldn't be willing to do this job, carrying a shotgun, hunting on the ice field, and looking for ruins by the way, which is what the descendants of the knights should do."
I can't say everything, but it should represent a certain ethos of the "White Knights"...... Jiang Baimian nodded quietly and asked before Shang Jianyao:
"What restaurants are around here, can I order by phone?"
"There is no phone." The front desk shook his head again.
In Gersterburg, there are only a handful of places where telephones are installed.
This area of people living here, whether small or big, is twenty to thirty minutes enough for a healthy person to go to any destination.
"Then you can only go out to eat." Jiang Baimian frowned, "Or go to the car and move some canned food and deal with a few meals?"
Thinking of eating canned food again, Long Yuehong instinctively showed an embarrassed expression.
Shang Jianyao said solemnly:
"There is a problem with the latter plan."
"What's the problem?" Jiang Baimian asked amusedly.
Shang Jianyao glanced at the front desk and walked a few steps towards the door of the hotel.
When Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen followed, he suppressed his voice and said:
"There is not much food left, and if you consume a few more meals, you will definitely hit the bottom.
"At that time, we have to go out to buy supplies, with Xiaohong's fate, this is also easy to cause accidents and cause a chain reaction, and if this forces us to leave Gerstburg, then not only will we not run out of batteries, but we will not have any food, and it will be even worse!
"So, we have to make sure that the food is above the safety line."
"It's obviously your destiny......" Long Yuehong retorted in a grunting way.
In addition to this, he actually felt that what Shang Jianyao said made some sense.
Jiang Baimian, who was seen by Shang Yao attacking his shield with his spear, was speechless for a while.
Although the food left in the "Old Tune Group" is not as little as Shang Jianyao said, after so many days of consumption, it is indeed not too much.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Baimian sighed and said:
"Hey, go upstairs and tell Lao Ge to recharge with peace of mind, and we will find something to eat nearby."
"Okay!" Shang Yao was happy to see it.
Based on caution and fear of causing accidents, the "Old Tune Team" found a restaurant nearby on the street of the "Fire and Iron" Hotel.
It's called "Old Henry", and there are only two lights in the store, so the light is very dim.
Shang Jianyao and the others were looking for seats when they suddenly saw the waiter serving four dishes to a table of guests.
One of the guests with pale yellow hair and hooked nose pointed to the strangely shaped flesh in front of him and said:
"Is this a steak?"
"Sir, it's indeed a steak, but you should know very well that most of the steaks you can eat in Gerstburg are aberrants, and the price also speaks for itself." The waiter replied quite calmly.
"Aberration?" The hook-nosed guest was startled.
Can this thing be eaten?
The waiter suddenly showed a wary look:
"Aren't you a member of our 'White Knights'?"
The hook-nosed guest was stunned for a few seconds and said:
"We are from a ranch in the south, and I just joined your 'White Knights' recently, and I heard that there are many job opportunities in Gusterburg and I can earn a lot of supplies, so I came over."
The "White Knights", like other major forces, can only rule those towns on the transportation arteries, and there are still large and small human or sub-human settlements in the mountains, wilderness, and Gobi in this area.
The waiter's expression eased:
"No wonder you don't know about aberrations.
"A long time ago, there was a kind of cow that was aberrated and became suitable for the environment here and could reproduce better. It has a lot of meat and is cheap, making it the first choice for most people."
"Why is it cheap?" The hook-nosed guest asked.
The waiter smiled and said:
"Eating too much can easily cause yourself to become abnormal and get various malignant diseases.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem if you only eat it a few times, when you find a job, save enough money, and can buy genetic improvement potions, you will not be afraid, the cheapest X-3 potion will allow you to gain the ability to fight this kind of aberration......"
Not only did this make the guests look at each other, but even Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen all looked at me, I looked at you, there was a wonderful sense of magic.
In terms of biotechnology, the "White Knights" and "Pangu creatures" seem to be moving in different directions due to different environments.
The four of us hesitated for a moment, but we found a table and waited for another waiter.
——There are many people from other places in the "White Knights" here, and the restaurant business is not bad, and they can afford to hire three or four people.
Jiang Baimian suppressed Shang Jianyao's idea of trying aberrations, and ordered a bunch of food with normal meat quality, all of which were not low.
After she finished it, Shang Jianyao, who finally found the opportunity, looked at the waiter, suppressed his voice, and asked mysteriously:
"You guys, do you have that?"
The waiter's expression changed, he glanced left and right, bent down, and asked in a very low voice:
"That's what you are talking about?"
