Chapter 238 One more question: What kind of oil is this? (2/2)

"Sigh, nothing is easy these days. We're just trying to make a living."

As the proprietress cleared away the tableware, she said, "You two aren't locals, are you? You don't seem to be. To be honest, we originally ran a restaurant in Jincheng."

After arriving at the base, the staff there approached us and asked us to continue running the restaurant, albeit on a much smaller scale than before.

They provided us with the shop and the goods; all we had to do was pay them rent each month. Without their support, we wouldn't have been able to do this.”

There was some truth and some falsehood in what they said, but Chu Moqing and Ye Boxuan both had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Ye Boxuan asked the proprietress, "Are there many people eating here?"

"No way, everyone is reluctant to eat it."

The proprietress looked at the two of them and said, "I've really met a few people as generous as you two."

Chu Moqing: "Who were the people we encountered the previous few times?"

The proprietress thought for a moment and said, "Like you, they're also from out of town. They're all wearing designer clothes I've never seen before, which look very expensive. They're generous; they not only pay quickly but also give us tips."

The tip was an earth-elemental crystal core. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting you follow their example and give tips; I'm just telling you how generous they were back then.

Ye Boxuan and Chu Moqing looked at her without responding, not even giving her any extra expression.

Even the usually thick-skinned proprietress was embarrassed by their expressions. She gave an awkward smile and said, "Anyway, we haven't run into each other many times."

Chu Moqing asked, "Where were the survivors who froze to death here sent? What are they being dealt with?"

"I don't know."

Even if I know, I can't say anything.

The proprietress fell silent, afraid that if she continued speaking, her heart wouldn't be able to take it.

These two don't look like good people. If they accidentally let something slip, they'll be the ones who suffer.

Ye Boxuan took out a water-type crystal core and placed it on the table: "If the answer is satisfactory, this is yours."

When the proprietress and the proprietress saw the crystal core, their eyes couldn't help but look at it.

The proprietress quickly came over and said with a smile, "I heard that the bodies were taken to a processing plant outside, but I really don't know what they were used for."

She reached for the crystal core as she spoke, but Ye Boxuan grabbed it and pressed it down: "The proprietress doesn't think that one crystal core equals one answer, does she?"

The proprietress chuckled awkwardly, "Then ask a few more."

Ye Boxuan: "Are those people you just mentioned still at the base?"

"They should be here. I saw them go out with a few people yesterday, but I didn't see them before the door closed."

Ye Boxuan asked a few more tricky questions, and finally gave her the crystal core.

Before long, eight bowls of noodles were served. The owner smiled and said, "Although it's vegetarian noodles, we still have vinegar and chili sauce."

He turned around and went to the kitchen to get chili sauce and vinegar.

Chu Moqing smelled the noodle soup: "Boss, what kind of oil do you use?"

"Mutton fat, what's wrong with it?"

Chu Moqing put down her chopsticks and looked at him: "I'm giving you one last chance. What kind of oil is this?"
