The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Going to Be the Hero Saved by a Beauty

Shen Lu pictured the scene and thought it was indeed quite bizarre.

She clicked on each piece of kitchen equipment to check. For now, there weren’t many she could combine. Besides the one-touch washing machine and the one-touch vegetable chopper, the super all-purpose food cart could be combined with the sweet egg waffle maker. The malatang machine could also be combined with the food cart, but the malatang and egg waffle machines couldn’t be combined with each other.

Combining wasn’t as simple as just wanting to do it. Besides Star Coins, she also needed quite a few materials.

Fortunately, the materials were all common. Shen Lu didn’t have to figure out how to get them herself; she could just have the Wang sisters and Fang Ming go gather them.

The next day, while Shen Lu was eating breakfast, she suddenly saw a news report on TV about high-level government officials departing for the Zhunan Survival Base.

She was very surprised to see Lei Li, her expression stern and cold, standing behind the officials.

’Isn’t that Xue Can’s girlfriend? Is she part of the security detail for this visit?’

’Wait, I seem to remember the people from the Gale Mercenary Corps mentioning when they came to eat that they’d recently taken a big job protecting high-level officials on a visit. Could it be this one?’

’In that case, wouldn’t Xue Can be going with them?’

’Oh, right. The female lead has already transmigrated here, so of course, Xue Can has to go and be the hero saved by a beauty.’

’Does this mean I’ll get to meet the female lead in a little while?’

’It’s actually kind of exciting to think about. I never expected that a cannon fodder character like me, who was supposed to have died and turned to dust long ago, would get to meet the female lead!’

’I definitely have to latch onto someone with a protagonist’s halo. Then I can get a front-row seat to watch all the drama unfold—the love triangles, love squares, love pentagons... I love watching that stuff.’

Shen Lu’s eyes burned as she scanned the screen for any sign of Xue Can, but the camera moved quickly. It was mainly focused on the high-level government personnel, and the mercenaries in charge of security were only caught in passing, with few of them shown.

After breakfast, the vegetables from Zhao Qian arrived.

The delivery was made by an inconspicuous truck with no identifying marks. The driver was a bald man who was absolutely jacked—the kind of tough guy who looked like he could take on ten men at once.

Shen Lu signed for the delivery and called people over to move the ingredients inside.

Cai Su looked at the produce. "These vegetables don’t seem as good as yesterday’s?"

The main issue was that the quality of the vegetables varied. It wasn’t like the deliveries from the Bai Family, where they always picked out the best ones to send over.

Shen Lu grunted in agreement. "We switched suppliers."

Shen Lu could understand why. After all, Bai Wanwan had ulterior motives regarding her, so naturally, she would be more attentive.

Zhao Qian was different. He was only willing to sell vegetables to her as a favor to Xue Can, and the terms of the contract were all clearly spelled out.

Song Zhigao lifted his eyes, his gaze probing.

’Switched ingredient suppliers again?’

’The vegetables for the past few days were all from the Bai Family. So who’s the new supplier now?’

Song Zhigao silently went over to help sort the vegetables. He could tell the quality of the ingredients as soon as he touched them.

In this batch, the good produce was very good, but the bad produce was laughably terrible.

Song Zhigao frowned slightly. The ingredients from the major agricultural bases each had distinct characteristics; you could tell them apart if you paid close enough attention.

But he couldn’t identify which base these ingredients Shen Lu had procured came from.

Song Zhigao reined in his thoughts and focused on the task at hand. When he had a free moment, he sent out a message.

Elsewhere, it was already noon by the time Master Luo saw the message.

Life had been too easy for him lately. He’d been staying at the casino until the early hours of the morning and usually wouldn’t wake up until noon.

After reading the message, he hurried to see Boss Jin to report the latest news.

"Alright, I understand," Boss Jin said, his expression impassive, betraying no emotion.

As soon as Master Luo left, Boss Jin immediately had his assistant look into who had delivered vegetables to Shen Lu that day.
