Chapter 67: Delicious Rice Noodles

  " Flying saucer, this house-building robot is too powerful! I don't know how long it will take to build this factory? And why didn't I notice that it carries building materials? Building a house doesn't require steel and concrete, does it?" Li Yang asked doubtfully.

  "This robot uses the Gildersleeve Planet's Violet Light Conversion technology to vaporize an entire mountain on the ground into building materials stored in its cargo hold, and then spits them out according to my instructions. It will weave high-strength steel mesh inside, and it will take about five or six hours to build this workshop. This construction mode is similar to your 3D printing technology on Earth, but instead of printing objects, it prints houses."

  "I'm dizzy! I just realized that this factory is built under a mountain! It has actually eaten up such a tall mountain! If we look at it this way, can't he also print out a skyscraper like printing out a factory?"

  "Of course, as long as you set it to define the style of house you want to build, it can build any shape building according to your meaning."

  "Wow! That means I can build countless high-rise buildings without paying labor costs and construction materials? If that's the case, I'll develop real estate in our southeastern city. If I sell houses at the cost of buying land, maybe there will be 3,000-yuan-per-square-meter houses appearing in front of consumers, what a scene it would be! Flying saucer brother, quickly build me 100 such construction robots!"

  "Li Yang, you'd better think carefully. I spent a huge amount of superconducting metal and diamonds to build this robot. Just the diamonds alone took tens of tons. Do you want me to waste those diamonds on making such toys?"

  Tens of tons of diamonds?

  This thing is useful, but it also costs too many diamonds.

  Saying that real estate is not that simple, even if you can build a house, you need to have a place to build it. Having a place to build it, how to explain this awesome robot to everyone is also a big problem.

  Li Yang thought carefully, if he really built such a house, not to mention letting countless migrant worker brothers smash their rice bowls and feeling a little unbearable in their hearts, those real estate developers would also be forced to jump off the building!

  This kind of thing is a whole body movement when one hair is pulled, it's obviously not worth the effort, so I won't consider it for now.

  Li Yang lingered on the construction site of the superconducting car factory for a full hour before reluctantly leaving.

  Looking at the efficiency of this construction robot, it's estimated that it will take only half a month to complete the entire factory. Just thinking about his superconducting car being unveiled soon, he couldn't help but feel excited.

  Five minutes later, Li Yang drove a QQ car to the bank and withdrew 600,000 cash. He then drove to a secluded area where the QQ car transformed into a Dongfeng heavy truck, slowly driving to the largest food wholesale market in Southeast City, followed by a crazy shopping spree.

  He pulled a full load of goods outside for a lap, letting the mining ship collect the goods into the warehouse, and then continued to drive to the food wholesale market to continue buying goods. From morning till 8 pm when the market closed, he spent only 700,000 yuan out of the 6 million cash in his hand, purchasing a total of 16 truckloads of instant noodles and nutritional express lines, almost depleting the market's stock of these two items.

  Then he transported these goods to Mars and handed them over to Qiao Tong, letting them distribute them evenly among their own people. This time, all 360,000 Martian people ate instant noodles and nutrition express, finally bidding farewell to that disgusting cockroach porridge!

  That night, after transporting goods all day, Li Yang was exhausted mentally, although not physically. He was simply worn out from mental exertion.

  After busy, he carefully calculated that the average cargo per vehicle was either 40,000 bottles of nutritional express or 40,000 packages of instant noodles. Sixteen vehicles would be 640,000 individual items. Calculated this way, his 360,000 people on average got very little food, and it's estimated that many people got a package of instant noodles but no nutritional express, or got nutritional express but didn't get any instant noodles!

  It's just a meal, if they eat three meals a day, even if the wholesale market is open 24 hours and Li Yang goes to Mars to transport goods non-stop, it's still impossible!

  Damn it! Li Yang rubbed his own dark circles and sighed repeatedly!

  Are they going to continue eating those little Qiang corpses?

  No way! Since I've become the King of Mars, I must ensure they have enough food and clothing!

  Xiao Qiang's stuff, as a garbage collector, barely managed to get the job done, but as food, it was shockingly unqualified. Li Yang secretly made up his mind that no matter what method he could think of, he would make sure these Martians wouldn't eat this kind of thing again.

  To solve the problem of Martians eating, Li Yang thought of many ways.

  He thought of secretly moving into someone else's warehouse and putting in a large amount of cash, but this was petty thievery and he quickly dismissed it.

  He also thought of going to the sea to catch a few whales, bringing them back to let them eat whale meat, which is much more delicious than Xiaoliang's terrifying corpse. However, thinking that whales are now endangered animals, this approach would not work.

  He even thought of letting Fenghua Superconductor Company, which was owned by Li Yao, be in charge of purchasing a large amount of food and transporting it to one place, then he would take them away with his mining ship. However, that way, even if he could deceive the food distributors, he couldn't deceive the people inside the superconductor company. A large quantity of goods disappearing into thin air would drive them crazy.

  As the saying goes, "people regard food as heaven", the problem of eating on Mars has made Li Yang rack his brains, but he can't think of a better way to solve it. Seeing that the sky is already late, Li Yang turned the mining ship into a QQ car and drove to a bustling snack street, ready to solve his own eating problem first.

  There are only two days left before the college entrance examination. Li Yang still has one day and one night to solve his troubles. He walked aimlessly on the street, thinking deeply with his head down.

  Before long, he saw a small noodle stall at the corner of the street. The small shop was clean and tidy, with a forty-year-old boss who looked neat and tidy, seemingly doing good business. Four small tables were filled with diners. He found a small stool without hesitation and sat down, ready to casually get through a meal.

  "Boss, a bowl of rice noodles, more vegetables, less chili peppers." Li Yang whispered.

  "Alright, wait a moment, it'll be ready soon." The noodle stall owner's wife replied with a gentle smile. Although there were many white hairs on her forehead, she had a pretty face, fair skin, and regular features, making her a middle-aged beauty.

  She quickly pulled out a handful of rice noodles and a small handful of rape from a large bamboo basket, twisted them into a small bamboo steamer, and then put the small bamboo steamer into a high soup pot to cook.

  While waiting for the noodles to cook, the female boss turned her head and asked Liyang: "Classmate, are you from Deyang Middle School?"

  Liyang, who was lost in thought, slightly startled and said softly: "Yes."

  "Oh, how many years has it been?"

  "It's our senior year, graduation class, and we're about to take the college entrance exam." Lei Yang replied casually.

  "Mei Yu is also in her third year of high school, but she attends high school in our town. De Yang High School is great, it's a key high school with a very high graduation rate." The boss's wife smiled and said.

  "It's all the same, as long as you work hard and read books, it's the same wherever you go to school." Li Yang smiled.

  "Yes, my daughter Yu Ying is very sensible and studies hard. She's always the top student in school! She keeps saying she wants to attend Tsinghua University. Classmate, your noodles are almost ready."

  She took out the small bamboo basket from the pot, poured the rice noodles into a large white ceramic bowl, added some diced chicken and quail eggs as well as other seasonings, ladled in the superior broth, and quickly handed it over to Li Yang.

  "Thank you!" Li Yang gave her a brilliant smile and started eating with his head down.

  Just as he was about to take a bite of the rice noodles, Li Yang discovered that what should have been two quail eggs were actually four. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Auntie, this is..."

  "Classmate, your Gaokao is coming soon, I've added two quail eggs for you to nourish your body, eat up, it's fine." The female boss said with a warm smile.

  Although the two quail eggs were worth little money, Li Yang felt a strong warmth in his heart. He nodded at the boss's wife with a pleasant mood and started eating eagerly.

  This rice noodle is really good, rich chicken soup, smooth and chewy noodles, fresh shrimp, crispy chicken, and a few stalks of delicious oilseed rape, accompanied by flavorful quail eggs, it's really delicious. Li Yang nodded while eating, growing up like this, he had never eaten such delicious rice noodles before.

  He quickly finished the whole bowl of rice noodles like a whirlwind sweeping away the remaining clouds, and stood up with an unfulfilled intention.

  "How much is it, boss?" Li Yang said, reaching into his pocket, only to find that he had left his wallet behind!

  "Five yuan. Are you full, classmate?" The female boss asked with a smile on her face.

  Li Yang looked embarrassed and said: "I'm full, but I forgot to bring my wallet!"

  "It's nothing, this meal is on me. You can go, classmate." The female boss's face fell, although she was a bit unhappy, but still waved her hand with a good attitude.

  "I left my wallet in the car, boss, wait a minute, I'll go get it." Li Yang said apologetically.

  The female boss smiled and said, "Classmate, it's okay, you can go. It's just five yuan. You and my daughter Yuying are both senior students, who knows, maybe one day you'll be studying at the same university together. Consider this bowl of rice noodles on me."

  Li Yang quickly ran off and turned back to say: "I'll be right back with the money in two minutes!"

  After finishing speaking, he ran far away.

  In a state of panic, Li Yang ran as fast as he could, just like when he was running away to avoid paying for his meal, causing the few diners beside him to shake their heads slightly.

  A few young people with messy hair put down their bowls and stood up to leave, but the female boss immediately pulled one of them back, saying: "Hey comrade, you haven't paid yet!"

  This young man with super large nostrils and a nose ring, who had long hair, shook off the female boss's hand and slapped her: "Didn't that stinky little kid just eat and not pay? You guys let him go, didn't you? I forgot to bring money today too. What's it going to be? Are you daring to not let me go home?"
