A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

After calling home to let her know she was safe, Jian Qingyi wasn't in a hurry to go to the military headquarters.

Using her crossbody bag as cover, Jian Qingyi pulled an apple out of the small island.

"Crunch" and take a bite.

It has a wonderful aroma.

After observing for a period of time, Jian Qingyi discovered that the things on the island actually had regenerative capabilities.

It's like she took a few apples out of the refrigerator yesterday, and when she went in today, the refrigerator was full of apples again.

Moreover, according to her observation, even the shape of the apple was perfectly replicated.

At first, she hesitated, worried that she might get sick from eating it.

after all……

Things that appear out of thin air are not guaranteed at all.

But after she mustered up the courage to take a bite, she couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of creation.

There were also pastries and candies on the plate.

Jian Qingyi thought it would spoil and go bad, but half a month passed in a flash, and the pastries were still sweet and soft, and the candies showed no signs of spoilage.

She then realized that the entire island was a natural preservation cellar.

Do not!

To be precise, the island is better than the cold storage.

For example, the eggs her scumbag father gave her were lukewarm when she put them in the morning, and they were still lukewarm when she took them out in the afternoon, without any change at all.

For this reason alone, the island is far superior to a cold storage facility.

From then on, Jian Qingyi felt free to enjoy everything on the island.

After finishing the apple, the No. 19 bus arrived.

She threw the apple core into the nearby trash can, took the change, and got into the car.

When she left home in the morning, her scumbag father stuffed another fifty yuan into her pocket, saying something like, "A poor family needs to be frugal on the road..."

I was almost moved to tears by her.

Looking at the vintage billboards on both sides of the street, Jian Qingyi once again had the illusion that she had accidentally wandered into the filming location of a period drama.

As a proponent of materialism, she would find it hard to believe in time travel if she hadn't experienced it herself.

These days, the streets are narrow, and both sides are lined with a dazzling array of billboards.

Appliance repair, hot pot, local snacks, beef noodles...

Jian Qingyi looked so hungry.

Especially when she saw the bright red candied hawthorns by the roadside, Jian Qingyi couldn't help but swallow her saliva several times.

When the bus stopped in front of the Yunlai Hotel, Jian Qingyi felt like she had swallowed her fill of saliva.

Yunlai Hotel is a twelve-story building. Judging from the color of the tiles on the outside, it must have been built in the last few years.

Jian Qingyi thought for a moment, then turned onto a side street, and after many twists and turns, finally entered a secluded and deserted alley.

When she came out again, Jian Qingyi was carrying a large basket on her back, and she was several shades darker. Even her arched willow-leaf eyebrows were drawn up to look like Guan Yu's eyebrows. Paired with the freckles she haphazardly did with an eyebrow pencil, she looked exactly like a rural woman who had suffered the ravages of time.

Jian Qingyi bought this basket at the farmers' market for five cents each.

Jian Qingyi waved her hand and bought two hundred of them.

They were originally planning to make a big splash, but...

There are still 195 on the island.

And this was done after cutting open the one on her back.

Didn't you say that even pigs could take off when they arrived?!

Jian Qingyi complained as she walked inside.

"Auntie, we don't sell steamed buns or porridge here." A slender figure in work clothes blocked her way.

“I’m not here to eat, I’m here to…” Jian Qingyi smiled politely at her.

"This is not a place for you," the slender waitress interrupted her in an unfriendly tone.

The gaze directed at Jian Qingyi was filled with undisguised contempt and disdain.

Knowing the saying that it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings, Jian Qingyi took out several large crabs that had already been put in a net bag from the basket behind her and stuffed them into the waitress's hand.

"Little girl, these are crabs that we raise ourselves. They're very plump. Take a few and have a taste."

"I can't accept that," the waitress said, but her hands betrayed her true intentions as she took the net.

After finishing, he even weighed it in his hand, saying, "Your crabs are pretty good, this one must weigh about three ounces, right?"

“Five ounces is a fair weight,” Jian Qingyi said with a forced smile.

"You want to sell it here?" The waitress saw through her intention at a glance.

"Little girl, please help your aunt! We're barely making ends meet trying to feed them. We adults are okay, but the two poor kids are starving and barely recognizable..." Jian Qingyi said in a low voice, pretending to be embarrassed.

The waitress hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Then come with me!"

"However, let me make this clear first: I'm just taking you there. Whether it works out or not depends on your own abilities."

Jian Qingyi naturally thanked her repeatedly.

The waitress handed the crab to a hostess in the lobby and led Jian Qingyi to a side door.

Judging from its appearance, it should be the employee passage.

"Our Director Xu is a very busy man. When you go in, just say what you need to say and don't beat around the bush. He doesn't like people playing mind games with him," the waitress kindly reminded her.

“Yes,” Jian Qingyi readily agreed.

Coincidentally, she also doesn't like people playing mind games with her.

After walking through a long corridor and turning several corners, I finally arrived at an office.

The waitress had previously said that Director Xu was a very busy person, but Jian Qingyi didn't believe it. How busy could a hotel director be?!

But seeing men and women, young and old, coming and going at the office door, Jian Qingyi finally believed her when she said she was very busy.

The waitress whispered a few words to the staff at the door, then pointed at Jian Qingyi.

The staff member at the door glanced at Jian Qingyi in the direction she was pointing, frowned, and nodded very reluctantly.

Jian Qingyi knew that she had agreed, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that there were still quite a few people standing at the door, Jian Qingyi moved to the side and put down the basket on her back.

Only after everyone waiting at the door had left did the staff lead Jian Qingyi inside.

The office is small, only about ten square meters, with a large desk in the middle and a row of filing cabinets behind it.

Director Xu stood in front of the filing cabinet, seemingly looking for something. Hearing footsteps, he uttered a sentence without turning his head.

"Take the things out."

To make it easier to create something out of nothing, Jian Qingyi covered all four sides of the basket with gauze.

She reached out and pulled, revealing the large, dark green crab.

Whether it was because they were suddenly exposed to the light or because they were frightened, the large crabs scrambled around wildly, baring their teeth and claws.

The collision produced a piercing sound.

Upon hearing the noise, Director Xu turned his head, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

Mr. He was worried about not having a good Mid-Autumn Festival gift...

I really feel sleepy and I give you a pillow.

He casually caught a crab and weighed it in his hand.

Nod with satisfaction.

Crabs at this time of year are at their peak maturity, and their weight and plumpness are absolutely exquisite.
