A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Chapter 473 Instant noodles can be used to offset accommodation costs

Cheng Ying had eaten a lot of instant noodles and didn't find them particularly appealing, but for these ancient people, the taste of instant noodles was simply too tempting.

Although she cooked instant noodles in the village chief's house yesterday using a borrowed kitchen, the other families followed suit because they trusted the village chief's decision.

But because of this, those families, after tasting the instant noodles, were very glad to have made the same decision as the village chief, feeling that the noodles were simply heavenly.

One family cooked two packets of instant noodles. After enjoying the taste of the noodles, they thought they could sell them for a good price outside, so they took them to a wealthy landlord.

After tasting it, the landlord thought it tasted very good, so he asked how many were left. The family originally had ten bags, but they ate two bags themselves, leaving eight bags. The landlord then wanted them all.

Moreover, the landlord's family didn't treat them badly with those eight bags of instant noodles. They gave them a considerable amount of money and even said that if they had such good stuff again, they could come back to their house to sell it.

When this family returned home and told Village Chief Qin about it, the news spread, and the other families who had instant noodles, except for the village chief's family, all took them and exchanged them for money.

This time, they not only got to eat delicious instant noodles, but also received more money than the cost of their lodging, truly killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, Cheng Ying and the others were unaware of these things, and they hurried towards Jingzhou!

Two days later, in the afternoon, they passed through a small town. They stopped and found an inn to rest and prepare to continue their journey the next morning.

After settling in, they prepared to go out for a stroll. As soon as they came downstairs, they saw a group of people at a table in the lobby talking animatedly about something.

Cheng Ying and her group found it interesting and were drawn in, so they stopped there, wanting to hear more.

Everyone else in the inn was watching the talkative guest, curious about what they were discussing.

The guest said in a loud voice, "These are some new items I brought from Jingzhou. Brothers, look what they are!"

"Let's see if you recognize this." He took out a small wooden box, which looked very simple, but the intricate patterns on it made it look very noble.

The intricate patterns on this wooden box are very eye-catching, and there are also some words on it.

The people sitting at the same table with him went up to take a look, but they all shook their heads and said they had never seen him before!

The man said smugly, "You bunch of bumpkins, let me tell you, this is called a lighter!"

Others asked, "What's a lighter used for?"

"Yeah, this lighter looks pretty, but what use is it?"

The man said mysteriously, "Watch closely, brothers, I'm going to show you its functions."

He flicked the lid with his hand, and with a crisp click, everyone's eyes lit up. They found the sound very pleasant, and the man's movements were also very elegant!

Then he turned a ceramic wheel with his hand. The ceramic wheel and a stone-like object on it rubbed against each other and sparked. Then, with a soft bang, a blue-yellow flame rose up.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! This lighter can actually produce a flame! It's like a flint and steel!"

One of them said, "Brother Fang Tong, what do you think are the words carved on this?"

The man named Fang Tong said, "The words on this are 'Planet Hazel.' According to the shop owner over there, it's the name of a brand, and they engrave this name on every lighter they sell."

Some people asked in confusion, "What does 'Planet Hazel' mean?"

"Yes, why write such a name? It's a bit of a tongue twister!"

Upon hearing this name, Cheng Ying and Liu Haoyang were understandably shocked. Their emotions were overwhelming, a mixture of shock, surprise, and a multitude of other feelings swirling within them.

Liu Haoyang couldn't help but say, "Junior sister, did I hear that right? They were saying..."

Cheng Ying was even more direct. She didn't answer Liu Haoyang's question. Instead, she stepped forward, pushed through the crowd, and snatched the lighter from his hand.

Cheng Ying looked at the words on the lighter and, after confirming that they really were the words "Planet Hazel," she finally felt relieved.

Fang Tong stared blankly at his empty hand for a moment before realizing that his lighter had been taken.

He turned around and saw that a little girl, only a few years old, had taken it. He then suppressed his anger, smiled, and extended his hand to Cheng Ying, saying:

"Little girl, don't be naughty. This is your uncle's stuff. Give it back to your uncle."
