When Ah Shang heard the movement, he had already stopped, walked back a few steps, and said to Xiao Ji: "This is an ice layer formed by years of extreme cold weather, of course it is stronger than your head."

Xiao Ji pouted, got up, touched his dry belly, and said, "Let's go on."

She continued to skate behind Ah Shang, and fell a few more somersaults, and then she slowly mastered the technique and her movements became smooth.

I don't know how far I slid, Ah Shang stopped.

"The cafeteria is in front." Ah Shang pointed with his finger.

Follow Ah Shang's fingers to look over, and you can see a one-story house with a large area, painted blue and white, and you can vaguely see a big signboard, on which is written "No. [-] Public Canteen" in gilt characters in official script .

Looking at the signboard, Xiao Ji imagined the fragrance of the food in his mind.

She swallowed and urged, "Then let's go there quickly."

She was starving to death.

"No hurry, let's exchange for food stamps first."

Ah Shang didn't rush forward, but led Xiao Ji to the side, leading him to a small house.

Xiao Ji looked in through the glass door, and saw a neat row of seats, and a neat row of mirrors in front of the seats.

Several people were sitting on the seats, and several people were standing beside the seats, and the standing people were brushing the hair of the sitting people.

Xiao Ji asked puzzledly: "Isn't this a barber shop? How to exchange for food stamps?"

Ah Shang looked at her sympathetically again, sighed, and said, "Let's go in first."

Xiao Ji followed Ah Shang into the barbershop, and a barber walked up to him. Seeing Ah Shang, the barber asked strangely, "Why are you here to cut your hair?"

Ah Shang pushed Xiao Ji out and said, "This is a new novel, she wants to cut it, not me."

The barber shifted his strange gaze from Ah Shang to Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji squeezed his palm nervously.

The barber looked at the top of Xiao Ji's head and asked, "You just came out of the hatch?"

Xiao Ji nodded.

The barber sighed, and also showed a sympathetic expression: "Don't you have to publish three chapters before you can break out... You have accumulated three chapters, and you only have such a small number of words... How cruel is the author..."

"Word count? How do you know my word count?" Xiao Ji was a little confused.

She doesn't even know her word count yet, how did the barber know?

Ah Shang coughed and explained: "Every time the author updates, our hair will grow longer according to the number of updated words. The more authors there are, the longer our hair will grow. Therefore, we agreed to use hair instead The number of words can be exchanged for food stamps, as much hair can be exchanged for as much food."

A thick layer of ominous premonition floated in Xiao Ji's heart, she slowly raised her hand, and touched the top of her head cautiously.

Very soft to the touch, like stroking newly sprouted grass.

Very soft and short.

Xiao Ji's heart went completely cold.

"Cut it for her first. Short hair is also hair. At least I can get something to eat." Ah Shang said to the barber.

The barber smiled and said, "It's so short that I can't cut it, I have to shave it."

Xiao Ji blinked numbly, she felt that no matter what blow she received next, she would not feel any more.

She sat on the seat under the guidance of the barber, and the mirror in front of her reflected her appearance.

It was the first time she had seen herself since hatching.

In the mirror, there was a small fair face, two gray eyes, and a thin layer of gray hair on top of the head.

thin.

She sniffed.

How could the author do this to her?

Ten minutes later, she finished shaving her head. In the mirror, she became bald like Ah Shang. The top of her head was bald and ugly.

I saw the barber collected all her hair with a magical instrument and put it in a bowl-shaped container.

The barber handed the bowl of hair to his assistant and said, "Go and evaluate how many words it is worth, and then exchange it for food stamps."

The assistant left for a while, and soon came back, holding a small ticket with a barcode printed on it that she couldn't understand.

She took the receipt and looked at Ah Shang blankly.

"Let's go, we can go eat." Ah Shang said, leading her to go outside.

Hearing the word "eat", Xiao Ji swallowed unconsciously.

She followed closely behind Ah Shang, and entered the public cafeteria painted in blue and white.

There is a strong smell of food coming out of the nostrils, including stewed lotus root, tomatoes, beef stewed potatoes, and...

She took a few deep breaths. Although she hadn't eaten food yet, her cognitive ability from birth told her that these foods were very, very delicious!

"gurg gurg"

The belly rumbled again.

Xiao Ji rushed to a window and stuffed the food stamp into the identification port with trembling hands.

A mechanical voice came from the window: "What would you like to order?"

At the same time, the smart bracelet recognized the signal from the cafeteria window.

The ordering option appeared in Xiao Ji's consciousness.

【What would you like to order?】

a. Beef Brisket with Potatoes and Rice

b. Rice with pickled cabbage and fish

c. Red Oil Chao Shou

d. Sauce-flavored Xiao Long Bao

Xiao Ji chose option a without hesitation.

"Potato beef brisket rice bowl is ready for you, please take the meal, I wish you a happy meal~~"

A plate was slowly spat out of the window.

Xiao Ji held his breath and stared at the plate.

I saw a piece of fingernail-sized potato and bits of diced beef lying quietly on the plate.

There is also a handful of white rice under the potatoes and beef. If you look closely, you can count how many grains there are.

Xiao Ji lowered his head heavily.

Even though she was mentally prepared, she still felt a deep despair.

She drooped her head, took a plate and found a seat to sit down.

In less than five seconds, there was nothing on the plate. Xiao Ji licked the plate three more times, making sure that there was no residual smell on the plate, and then reluctantly put down the plate.

My stomach is still hungry.

Xiao Ji wanted to cry a little.

"Hey, seeing how pitiful you are, let me give you some."

I saw Ah Shang sitting across from her with a bowl of dumplings.

The white dumplings are floating on the red oil soup, which is very attractive.

The amount is not much, but it seems to be enough to barely eat.

"Aren't you bald, where do you get your hair for food?" Xiao Ji swallowed and asked in confusion.

"I'm finished. Although the finished article's hair won't grow any longer, we can receive the completion subsidy, and the food coupons will at least ensure that every meal is full." Ah Shang explained patiently.

After hearing this, Xiao Ji looked at Ah Shang with envy.

The highest level of wish in my heart has changed from "I hope the author will update more" to "I hope the author will finish it soon".

Ah Shang brought her three dumplings and said, "I can only give you three dumplings, and this is the last time. You can figure out what to do in the future, after all, I have to eat."

Xiaoji thanked him gratefully.

One dumpling bite at a time, and ten seconds later, the plate was empty again.

Although I was still not full, my stomach was not so uncomfortable.

"You still can't afford to rent an independent house. I'll take you to a charity shelter later, and get some sleep for a few days." Ah Shang said to her while eating dumplings.

"Okay." Xiao Ji lowered his head, not daring to look at the dumplings in Ah Shang's bowl, and prayed in his heart that Ah Shang would finish eating quickly.

The scent of red oil lingered on the tip of his nose, and Xiao Ji buried his head even lower.

Ah Shang explained many things to her, and Xiao Ji learned a lot.
