002 Delicious Tomato Juice
002 Delicious tomato juice
It was getting dark.
Anton walked through the cold streets very quickly,
The slums filled with rancid smells and all kinds of noises are almost the most common scenes in the era of ruins.
This is a giant building made entirely of steel and various stone. Its shape is somewhat similar to the tube building before the ruins era, with messy fences and various signs filling the field of view.
The messy antennas crisscrossed and densely locked the entire sky in grids of different sizes.
The Anton family lives on the 8th floor of the tube building. The huge metal winch made a whispering sound. The steel structure elevator in the mesh format had risen to the floor he was going to.
After hearing the knock on the door, the door was opened.
The person who opened the door was a 14 or 15-year-old girl with a pretty face and two black braids. She was wearing a linen long skirt that was not in harmony. The girl was obviously a little malnourished.
I saw Anton standing at the door,
An Xili smiled and the horse cracked his mouth, revealing a pair of white front teeth.
"Brother, come in quickly."
"Anxi, are you the only one here?"
"Well, my parents haven't come back yet, but I'm very hungry."
"Is there anything else to eat at that house?"
"No more, the last piece of bread has been eaten in the morning."
Anton was stunned.
The living room where you enter the door looks very crowded, with only one bedroom left besides one kitchen.
The decorations in the house were also extremely old, and familiar objects were rarely seen. The only thing that made him a little familiar was an old pendulum clock without glass.
The narrow room, with messy pipes on the roof, a spherical boiler connected to these pipes, and the steam flowing inside made a whimpering sound.
Hanging on the wall is a bizarre double-bar hunting rifle, with the rusty windows tightly closed, as if they had never been opened since they were closed.
The chandeliers above our heads emitted a faint light, and the sparks hinted when they were whispering in the spherical boiler, and the filaments made a sizzling sound, as if they would fall into darkness at any time.
Anton suddenly realized that the fight with Frans must be won.
This is not only related to who is stronger and weaker than Frans, but also directly to the issue of survival.
After all, he and the fat little Cohen beat the bets of 10 Newtons and 1,000 Parkers.
His father, as a flower farmer who built flower beds for the damn nobles in the residential area, paid only 2 Newtons a month, while his mother, as a picker on a farm outside the city, paid only 1 Newton a month.
These three Newtons can support all the livelihoods of a family of four in a month, and even have a balance of dozens of parkers.
These 10 Newtons, but he and Cohen relied on various despicable means, saved up enough private money for five or six years.
If you lose this fight, you will return to the era of ruins.
But if you win,
According to the odds of 1 to 3, that is 30 Newtons, which is undoubtedly a huge sum.
"Anxi, we will have something to eat soon, a lot of food."
He reached out and touched Anthy's head, and Anton seemed to have foreseeed the situation where he stepped on Frans under his feet.
Talk to Anxi for a while,
Anton suppressed the obviously aggravated feeling of hunger in his stomach and lay decadently on the narrow double bed.
Until the old iron door with tight stitching was opened, a middle-aged man and woman who looked very tired but were in good spirits came in.
"Ansy, Anton, kids, we're back."
An Yuanye is a tall man, but after years of hard work, his spine is obviously bent.
His face was covered with wrinkles, but he was already half white in his early 40s, and his old suit almost changed color. When he entered the door, he was carrying a loose cloth bag in his hand.
Take out a few pieces of dried bread and half a bottle of leftover jam from it. This is a rare delicacy, although I have eaten only half a bottle left.
This is a small gift from the mistress of the noble employer's home today, and there is also a large piece of mutant pork that looks obviously sold in the butcher shop.
"Dad, I'm almost fainted from hunger."
My daughter Anxi stared at the piece of meat happily, and began to secrete water from her mouth.
Lin Xin patted her daughter's hand away.
"The meat is for Anton."
"oh!"
"Where is Anton?"
"He's sleeping in the house."
"Call him up and have dinner together."
After saying that, he began to take out two half-red and half-blue tomatoes from his pocket, the size of a fist.
This is a small benefit that she only has as a farm picker, two tomatoes that were abandoned by the farmer and were about to be broken.
As a very thrifty hostess, Lin Xin regards such food as the most important after-meal dessert for dinner.
After carefully wiping it with a tablecloth, I carefully picked up a piece of scrap metal blade and cut it into small pieces and placed it on a plate with a corner missing.
The two words "Jingde" are printed on the bottom of the plate, and the other word is so blurred that it cannot be distinguished.
It is said that
This is an extremely ancient name before the Ruins Age, but now it is even older and can only be seen in a complete museum.
Dinner is simple and exquisite.
The tomato slices with sour sauce looked extremely delicious and made people feel very enjoyable. Anxi greedily sniffed the not-so-rich smell in the air, staring at the sliced pork on the plate.
The dried bread is covered with dark red jam and covered with slices of meat. After full fermentation, the rich sauce aroma occupies almost all the sense of smell.
Although each person is only half a palm-sized, it is enough to cheer up Anton, who has been hungry all afternoon.
"Anton, eat more, you have reached the standard of a level 6 warrior in the acquired day, and now you need more nutrition. In the hunting assessment a year later, maybe you can participate, it would be great if our family had a star warrior."
Pushing the plate full of meat slices in front of Anton, Anton shook his head. Star Warrior, An Yuanye really dared to think that the star warriors of the entire Earth Star could count with one hand.
Whenever a star warrior appears, it means that a new noble is born and a new surname appears in the upper class.
Seeing Anton's half-sliced slices of meat from the plate put into his sister Anxi bowl, the couple looked at each other and smiled.
"Dad, how about the job?"
"It's OK, did you go to Mills Arena in the afternoon?"
Anton nodded.
As free people in slums, they must use a specially issued pass to enter the aristocratic area.
Of course, he couldn't get that kind of thing in his capacity. Of course, as An Yuanye, who served the nobles in the aristocratic area, it was okay to use the convenience of his work to ask the kind hostess for two temporary passes for his son.
Despite this, he paid a half-day salary.
"How about it?"
"Very good, Cohen asked me to thank you on his behalf."
"Well, I haven't been to Mills Arena. The fat guy from the old Cohen's house can get tickets. He is more than a little better than him."
Anton immediately smiled.
Naturally, he would not tell An Yuanye that Cohen was able to get the ticket because he promised to help Renault keep him secret of Jennis taking a bath.
As a freelance elite who has been educated by gentlemen since childhood, Renault's love for reputation is naturally better than two ordinary stands.
He picked some of the experiences and briefly said that, and his sister Anxi widened her eyes and listened to the things he had described, with her eyes full of anticipation.
...
Wake up,
Anton found that even though he ate bread and sliced meat, his hunger was still obvious.
Without any sleepiness, I got up and walked around the living room. The metal water tank above my head made a grunt sound.
The heating system uses the pipe to raise the indoor temperature to normal temperature.
In the era of ruins,
Due to changes in geological structures and anti-gravity effects, day and night are longer than before the ruins era, and the temperature difference also increases. Even in early summer, the temperature at night can even drop to freezing point.
If the machine civilization had not been developed to the extreme, it would have become extremely difficult for ordinary people to resist low temperatures.
Relying on the mechanical elevator to return to the ground, the cold wind blew from the empty street into the corridor, and Anton couldn't help but tremble.
He hugged and drilled into the warehouse not far away, and Anton was suddenly stunned.
He saw a cloth bag in the corner of the wall where he often used to put clothes. Anton walked over and lifted the cloth bag skeptically, and his eyes suddenly became wide open.
