At 11:17 p. M., Shen Mo parked his electric car next to the plastic shed at the entrance of "Old Street BBQ".
The rain had just stopped, and the ground was wet and reflected the light of the street lights. He took out his phone, and the battery level in the upper right corner of the screen showed thirteen percent. The notification sound of the Meituan Rider APP "ding dong" sounded, and a new order popped up.
Pickup location: Lao Cai BBQ.
Delivery location: No. 144, Qinghe Road, Building 7, Room 304.
Delivery fee: 23.5 Yuan.
The silent thumb hovered on the screen for half a second and clicked "Accept Order". At this point, half of the street lights in the old community over Qinghe Road were broken, the corridors were dark, and climbing the stairs was tiring. But twenty-three and a half yuan is almost enough for tomorrow's lunch plus a pack of cigarettes. He locked the car and pushed open the glass door of the barbecue restaurant.
