Chapter 3 Supermarket

Liang Feng looked at the young man dressed as a beggar with a scrutinizing and strange look.

Ever since this place was rebuilt into a film and television base, not only people dressed as beggars, but there are even people dressed as Terracotta Warriors who come to buy medicine.

He was speechless for a moment: "If you want to buy rice, go to the supermarket next door. This is the pharmacy."

There was a hint of disgust in his tone, as if he was asking you to cause trouble.

Jun Qiulan left in embarrassment, but fortunately the boss did not notice that anything was wrong with him.

This undoubtedly gave him a certain amount of courage.

Zhang Li, the extra from before, obviously felt that the 150 yuan was too little. The crew also provided meals, and he originally thought that the 150 yuan might only be enough to buy one or two kilograms of meat.

When he was still the prince, he also visited the people. For ordinary people who went out to work, if the boss provided meals and paid wages on a daily basis, the wages were generally only enough to buy two kilograms of cheap pork.

A day's wages, and you want to see a doctor? I'm afraid you can't even get into the clinic.

Unexpectedly, the medicine here is so cheap. He secretly opened the box and took a look. There was quite a lot of medicine in it, several small packets, enough for three or four days.

Jun Qiulan didn't know how effective the medicine was, so he held the money and pondered for a while.

Meat and oil are expensive, but rice and noodles should be affordable, right?

There are only three boxed lunches, and there is no idea what to eat for tomorrow.

Food to fill your stomach is imminent.

Supermarket? The owner of the drugstore just now said he wanted to go to the supermarket to buy rice?

I don't know what the word "supermarket" means. Shouldn't I go to the grain store to buy rice and noodles? Looking around, he saw the words "Youyou Affordable Supermarket" next to the pharmacy.

This must be the place.

Perhaps it was because his outfit was not too strange on this street, or perhaps it was because the experience of buying medicine just now was too simple.

Jun Qiulan didn't hesitate this time and walked into the supermarket carrying the pharmacy bag.

The entrance of this supermarket is similar to the pharmacy just now, but the inside is much more spacious. Even in the middle of the night, it is still brightly lit, and the shelves inside are full of goods.

Jun Qiulan marveled at the wonders of this world countless times, and then said to the lady at the counter, "Sister, do you have rice? How much is a pound?"

He spoke in a casual tone, trying his best to pretend that he was a regular customer of the supermarket, but this ended up surprising the lady at the counter.

Jun Qiulan was nervous, but kept smiling.

The supermarket lady was speechless for a moment: "We have both bulk and bagged rice. Basically, we have all the rice at regular prices on the market. You can go and see for yourself."

Jun Qiulan was slightly embarrassed, but the elder sister didn't seem to notice anything was wrong with him, so he mustered up his courage and walked into the supermarket.

The shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods, and the merchandise on them is something you have never heard of or seen before.

He was like a child who came to the city for the first time, curious about everything he saw.

Fortunately, the characters in this world are just incomplete, and by considering the context, we can basically understand the general meaning.

The numbers in this world are crooked and do not look like Chinese characters, let alone the formal words on coins. He really cannot understand them, so he cannot understand the price on the label.

No matter how curious Jun Qiulan was about the goods in this world, he only wasted a few minutes. His mother was still waiting for him to bring back the medicine, so he must not delay any longer.

The supermarket was really big, and he observed carefully that the girls wearing uniforms should be the staff of the supermarket. After asking several times, he finally found the place to buy rice.

Seeing this, he almost couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He had just seen crystal clear rice in the pharmacy and thought it was because of the packaging. Only now did he realize that rice in this world is so snow-white and every grain is crystal clear.

It was better than the special rice he had eaten when he was still the crown prince.

This made Jun Qiulan afraid to move.

How much does such good rice cost per pound?

But he just couldn't understand the numbers in this world.

There were quite a few customers in the supermarket, and there were also quite a few people in the area selling rice and noodles. He noticed that most of the customers bought whole bags of rice, and few people scooped out the bulk rice from the cabinet themselves.

He pretended to be casual and asked an auntie who was carrying rice but was obviously wearing rather old clothes, "Auntie, how much is a bag of your rice? I think my family also eats this kind of rice, but I still don't know how much it costs per bag."

The old lady was stunned for a moment. She spoke in broken Mandarin and said, "This is relatively cheap. 29.80 yuan a pack."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Jun Qiulan for a second longer. "You're out here to work as an actor, right? You didn't manage a household before, so you don't know how expensive food and fuel are, right? If you want to buy cheap rice, you can buy it in bulk over there. There's also local rice for two yuan a pound, but it's not very tasty. Also, after nine o'clock in the evening, the vegetables in this supermarket are on sale. If you want to save money, you can come here at this time."

The old lady kindly shared her life experience.

Jun Qiulan also listened carefully, and a storm of emotions arose in his heart.

He originally thought that this kind of rice would cost at least thirty to fifty yuan per catty, but he didn't expect it to be only two or three yuan per catty. This was beyond his normal understanding.

In other words, the money earned by being an extra in a day like Zhang Li can buy 40 to 50 kilograms of rice. If you mix dry rice with porridge, it is enough for an ordinary family of three or four to eat for one or two months.

What's more, the rice is of such high quality.

This world is really like a dream, could it be a paradise on earth?

After the old lady finished speaking to him, she enthusiastically took him to see the bulk rice. "Look, this is our local rice. It certainly doesn't taste as good as the rice produced in the Northeast, but we all ate this kind of rice when we were young. It costs 1.98 yuan per pound."

Jun Qiulan nodded, "Thank you, Auntie."

He followed his previous observations and tore off a packaging bag, gently twisted it open, and then scooped two spoonfuls of rice into it, estimating that it was only about two pounds.

The old lady even joked cheerfully, "For a young man of your age, this amount of rice is only enough for two days at most. But I seem to have heard that your crew will provide boxed lunches."

Jun Qiulan nodded obediently and said, "Let's buy it and try it first."

The old lady was right and even taught him how to use the self-service weighing machine. "You're really accurate. It's exactly two kilograms. If you can't get used to it, you can always buy this from me in the future. Ten kilograms is only about thirty yuan."

Jun Qiulan humbly learned and asked, "Is there any salt for sale here? I want to buy some salt."

The old lady pointed him in a direction and said, "Over there are spices. Go and see for yourself. It's not easy to make a living on your own."

Jun Qiulan thanked her again, saying that this lady was quite nice.

As for the seasonings, Jun Qiulan was even more dazzled. After finally finding the salt, he remembered that he didn't know the numbers at all.

Salt has been a strategic material controlled by the imperial court since ancient times.

The price of salt was only affordable for ordinary people, and it was still coarse salt, or even salt stone. Refined salt was something only the powerful and wealthy could afford.

People cannot live without salt, and he has deeply felt this during this period of time.

He looked at the rows of salts in different quality packaging, each with a price tag underneath.

Jun Qiulan recalled the place where he had bought rice just now. There was a red sign on the rice cabinet that read: Special price 1.98.

The lady just now said that this kind of rice costs one yuan and ninety-eight cents per pound.

I looked at the label on the rice again: 3.96.

He took out another banknote that was already soaked with sweat. The red one was one hundred yuan, and the remaining seven yuan was the change given to him by the pharmacy.

Two green banknotes with "one yuan" written on them, and a 1 on top, which means the same thing as the 1 on the one hundred yuan.

The purple one has Wu Yuan written on it, which corresponds to 5.

He searched the price tag and saw familiar words.

He still couldn't recognize the other numbers, but he already knew 1.3.5.6.9.8.

Then he remembered that the old lady said that the rice in her hand was 29.8 yuan a bag, so he hurried back and found the rice in the same package as the old lady's hand, and saw the words 29.8 at the bottom.

Very good, he learned another number 2.

As for the point in the middle of the number, should it be the division between integers and zeros?

Jun Qiulan was happy about her cleverness, and finally returned to the seasoning area and accurately picked up a bag of 2.5 well salt.

I sigh again that not only rice and flour are cheap in this world, but salt is also so cheap.

However, Jun Qiulan still didn't plan to buy more. He didn't have much money left, so he had to save it. In case his mother's illness was not cured yet, he would have to come again to buy medicine.

He had to be careful with the little money he had.

No matter how good the other things were, he didn't look at them any more. He just followed other customers and went to the supermarket entrance to queue up to pay.

He calculated and found that the things in his hand were less than seven yuan. When it was his turn to pay, he gave out exactly seven yuan in change.

The girl collecting the money didn't even look up. She operated something he couldn't understand, then said, "I don't have any change now. Can I give you five candies?"

Forced buying and selling?

Jun Qiulan didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he took two kilograms of rice, a bag of salt, and five candies and left the supermarket.

"It's really strange. Can this candy be used as money?" he muttered.

However, candy is an expensive item. He made a profit by exchanging small change for five colorful candies.

Jun Qiulan didn't waste any more time and turned around several times before returning to the dark alley without street lights.

He was worried that he couldn't go back, but he thought of his family and the cowshed, and in just a moment, the scenery in front of him became what he had in mind.

Jun Yu and Jun Shuwan were still holding lunch boxes in their hands, but it seemed that they had not eaten a single bite. Only when they saw Jun Qiulan appear did they finally put their minds at ease.

Seeing this, Jun Qiulan said nothing more, "Dad, little sister, you can eat in peace now. I brought the medicine back."

Jun Yu sighed, "Lan'er, next time you have something to do, could you please let Dad know in advance? You suddenly disappeared again just now, and scared your little sister and me."

The author has something to say:

----------------------

Jun Qiulan went to the supermarket: I laughed at myself

Friends recommend: Gloomy little pretty in the bloody text as a cannon fodder follower [Quick wear] by Xingxing Chaoyu

Copywriter: The charming little angel shou vs. various slices gong

Su Ti was sent to be the cannon fodder follower of the protagonist in the melodramatic novel. He was timid, gloomy and taciturn, and was the least noticeable one among the protagonist's lackeys.

But even so, someone still kept an eye on him.

World 1: The Oral Master

Su Ti works as a follower behind the most powerful young master, following orders to bully a top student from a poor family. His task is to clean up the mess.

But every time he searched the pockets of the top students for valuables, the top students would always look at his tightly pursed lips with sticky eyes, and slightly stiffen their lips to show respect.

Suti was very scared.

Later, when Su Ti learned that the young master he was helping was a fake and the real young master was the top student he was afraid of, he became even more afraid.

Fake Young Master: My original self was arrogant and domineering, and bullied my adoptive parents. My biological son was abandoned by them. After traveling through time, I clung to the real young master, and lived a life of idleness and waiting for death, reaching the peak of my life.

The real young master's strong and powerful arms held Su Ti's dodging body tightly, licking his red and soft lips with satisfaction, and kissing the salty tears on his trembling eyelashes. "Baby, if you take the initiative to kiss me, I will let you eat and wait for death, okay?"

World 2: White Moonlight Reading Minds

Su Ti is the assistant follower of the stand-in boss. He follows orders to discredit the white moonlight shared by the three bosses. His task is to give the white moonlight an aphrodisiac.

But he could always hear Bai Yueguang's strange thoughts.

"It's got a red mouth, so cute."

"Even tears can be very tempting."

"It would be better if it was ***"

…

Su Ti was so scared that she wanted to run away, but what happened to the chain on her feet? Where was the Gaoling Flower?

Substitute: As long as I bind the voice system and let the bosses hear the hypocritical and vicious voice of Bai Yueguang, they will find that I am the beautiful and kind person who deserves to be owned.

Bai Yueguang's slender jade-like fingers slowly unbuttoned Su Ti's shirt and gently stroked his thin white collarbone, which was covered with goose bumps. Her eyes were thick and dark. "As long as baby tells me what I'm thinking now, I will let him go, okay?"

World Three: Prince

Su Ti is the half-brother and follower of the eldest brother who is the Prince's tutor. He follows orders to cover up for his eldest brother when he goes out to meet secretly. His task is to marry his eldest brother to the unpopular prince.

But he really couldn't bear the endless love affairs. The mottled and messy red marks on his snow-white skin took a long time to fade away, and his whole body was covered with sticky water marks.

Su Ti could only try her best to please the prince in order to get a chance to rest.

Eldest brother: In my previous life, I married a rebellious prince and was hacked to death by the imperial guards. My half-brother married a poor scholar whom I looked down upon, but he unexpectedly picked up the top scholar and eventually became the wife of a first-rank prime minister. This time, I will take back what belongs to me.

The prince's strong chest pressed Su Ti to the bed and whispered lovingly, "My wife, I promise this is the last time. Just one more time and then we'll go to sleep, okay?"

World 4: Hearing-impaired straight men

Su Ti is the good friend and follower of the fishing gay. He follows orders to assist him and the straight man. His task is to say friendly words to the hearing-impaired straight man using sign language.

But every time he signed, the straight man would stare at him. When he got tired of signing, the straight man would lower his dark eyes and rub his wrist.

Su Ti felt strange.

Fishing-style gay: I was reborn as the lowly bottom in a scumbag novel. The lowly bottom couldn't get the love of his straight childhood friend, and he worked as a bootlicker for many years before he succeeded in getting the top. I want him to fall in love with me and chase him to the crematorium to vent my anger on the original owner.

The hearing-impaired straight man took off his hearing aid in the charming and hot atmosphere, gently inserted it between Su Ti's fingers, and pressed it on the bed without any refusal. "Baby, what are you gesturing? I don't understand. Let's get down to business first, okay?"

World 5: Dual Personality Long Aotian

Su Ti is Xiao Baihua's stepbrother and follower. He obeys orders to be his stepbrother's guardian. His mission is to stop Long Aotian's pursuit of his stepbrother.

But why did he feel that Long Aotian changed so much between day and night?

Su Ti could only stay close to the normal Long Aotian during the day and stay away from the fanatical Long Aotian at night.

Little White Flower: In my previous life, I gave everything for my family, but in the end, the one who treated me the best was Long Aotian who forced me. In this life, I will definitely abandon my vampire family and love him well.

Bai Tianlong Aotian looked coldly at Su Ti, whose neck was covered with kisses from other men, and who was still clinging to him. He felt pain and struggle in his heart. He grabbed Su Ti's slender wrist and said sternly, "As long as you break up with other men, I can forgive you for everything in the past."

In the dark night, Long Aotian skillfully unbuttoned Su Ti's pajamas, and his scorching palms penetrated from the hem, caressing Su Ti's warm skin and sighing obsessively, "Baby, why are you approaching that loser? Can he satisfy you like me?"

World 6: The Sadistic Eunuch

Su Ti is a colleague and follower of the awakened slut. He follows orders to attract the perverted eunuch to follow the line. His mission is to become the eunuch's "godson".

But the eunuchs' "godsons" are not just godsons, they also need to satisfy some of their perverted desires. The senior eunuchs especially love torture, and they like the look of palace maids covered in blood, terrified and desperate.

Su Ti could only play the game of blindfold and tag for the little palace maids and eunuchs to accompany the foolish and lustful puppet emperor, and stay on duty in front of the emperor to avoid the eunuchs.

"I used to live in a sadomasochistic romance novel. The eunuch framed my family to get me, and he was madly in love with me. I tried to escape three times, but he dug deep to find me. Now I've woken up. As a descendant of a Qing official, how can I be so corrupt as to associate with eunuchs? I'd better give this "favor" to someone else as soon as possible."

In front of the emperor, the chief eunuch found Su Ti dozing in the corner and gently carried her out. His voice was shrill, and his smile was not quite reaching his eyes. "This little fellow is my son, whom I just recognized a few days ago. I love him dearly. But he behaved inappropriately in front of the emperor today. I will definitely take him back and discipline him properly."

World 7: Real Male Ghost Little Sun

Su Ti is a follower hired by the heir of a Taoist priest family who is born with the ability to see ghosts and spirits. He follows orders to screen out incidents involving real ghosts. His mission is to prevent other Taoist priests from resolving the issue before the heir arrives.

Su Ti would meet the same person in various strange scenes every time, and became good friends with this sunny and cheerful boy.

However, Suti discovered that his good friend always had a gloomy expression when no one was paying attention, but when he looked over, his expression would turn into a warm and enthusiastic smile, which Suti found very strange.

Successor of the Heavenly Master: The Yin-Yang eyes I was born with are all fake. The reason why I am so powerful is all thanks to the help of the barrage that appeared out of nowhere. As long as I kill the evil ghost in human skin, I can successfully get the position of successor.

The evil ghost liked his new human friend very much. He could not help but secretly shed his human skin and sneak into his house, lying quietly beside him, watching him sleeping quietly and well-behaved all night long.

But he still wasn't satisfied and wanted to be closer to this human friend. It would be even better if Suti didn't wear pajamas to sleep. He would be able to see more, look here and there, remember all the characteristics of Suti's body, and understand him a little better.

The evil ghost slapped himself hard for the filthy and out-of-bounds thought that had arisen in his mind. How could he treat his friend like this? However, the corners of his mouth grew wider and wider, and excitedly stretched to the back of his ears. "Fuck! How can you do this?"
