Chapter 940: Chapter 0940: Half a Grain Ticket 2

After closing the door and changing clothes, the two hid inside the house and had a feast.

Rice, lamb soup, the soup was filled with meat.

"Wife, this space of yours is really magical, having hot meals ready. When I was in the army, you used to cook special meals for me from time to time, and we haven’t run out even after so long," Lu Jiang said as he ate.

"Once it’s gone, it’s completely gone," Feng Qingxue said.

Although she had prepared a large amount of ready-to-eat food in case it was impossible to cook during the apocalypse, it was after all, not endless.

Because Lu Jiang liked braised pork, one-fifth of the braised pork prepared in the space had already disappeared.

"Then I should eat less." While saying this, Lu Jiang still soaked his rice with lamb soup and devoured it, "The lamb doesn’t taste as fresh as the lamb in our army, it’s gamey, the meat is a bit fatty, and too soft to provide a good chew."

Feng Qingxue rolled her eyes; the ready-to-eat food she bought was processed, so, of course, they wouldn’t use especially good expensive ingredients.

"If you find the lamb soup too bland, I’ll treat you to lamb skewers!" She first took out a plate and then retrieved some chunks of lamb meat scraped off metal skewers from her space, each chunk as big as a walnut, marbled with fat and lean, and smelling tempting.

Purchased in the Northwest region, they were authentic halal lamb skewers.

Feng Qingxue had a small appetite and was already full. She poured the remaining half bowl of rice into Lu Jiang’s bowl, then pulled out a handful of lettuce leaves, wrapped a piece around the still hot lamb meat, and stuffed it into Lu Jiang’s mouth, "Try it and see how it tastes."

Lu Jiang’s mouth was stuffed full; it took him a while to finally swallow, "Delicious!"

"If it’s delicious, then eat more!" Feng Qingxue remembered a slogan from an advertisement.

Lu Jiang had a huge appetite and swept the table clean of food, barely belching to signify he was full.

Feng Qingxue put away the bowls and chopsticks into her space since there was no water in the room to wash them, then she opened the window to air out the smell, lest the service staff come in, smell the lamb, and report them for eating in secret.

In an era of scarce resources, not everyone could afford to eat lamb.

Half an hour later, when the smell had almost dissipated, Feng Qingxue took Lu Jiang’s hand.

"Let’s go, time is of the essence. We should go for a walk, feel out the area, and take it as a chance to help digest our meal," she said.

With great responsibilities on his shoulders, Lu Jiang naturally had no objections.

The couple locked up their room door, borrowed two nearly-new oilcloth umbrellas from the attendant, and left one after the other.

Indeed, two umbrellas, because male comrades cannot share an umbrella with each other, even if they’re husband and wife.

Shanghai, as always, lived up to its reputation.

Walking along the streets, they could see all sorts of small Western-style houses, very old buildings, and hurried pedestrians. People say that Shanghai’s fashion is the trendiest, but looking at the men and women with or without umbrellas or raincoats, their outfits didn’t seem particularly fashionable. Wrapped in raincoats, it was hard to see what they were wearing beneath.

However, their spirits were high, walking tall and proud, with every other word being "arla" for "I," "yi" for "he," or something like "laobanggua" for an old man.

Lu Jiang, not understanding, quietly asked Feng Qingxue, "Can you understand Shanghainese?"

"I know ’arla’ means ’I,’ ’yi’ means ’he,’ ’ning’ means ’you,’ and ’laobanggua’ seems to mean an old man. Other than that, I don’t really understand much," Feng Qingxue whispered back to him.

In her previous life, she had visited Shanghai and even stayed at a relative’s house for a while, getting to know a bit about Shanghai’s customs and local color.
