Chapter 159 What if I hide and don’t pay?
Chao Chao followed Jian Yunsang for a while and sure enough, they saw another promotion counter.
This time she didn't go to eat because her father came over pushing a cart.
Just when Chao Chao was still looking around curiously, He Nanzhou pushed the cart to queue up for weighing.
Now that the three of them had met up, they headed straight for the elevator to go upstairs.
Chao Chao was surprised, "Mom, where are we going?"
"We need to buy some gift boxes. They are all upstairs. Let's go take a look upstairs."
Da Qiren, "..."
So this floor is not the entire supermarket? ?
Is there anything upstairs? ?
Even Emperor Jingxuan was surprised, "Supermarkets in later generations are too big."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the scene upstairs. Compared with the food and daily necessities on the first floor, the second floor seemed less noisy.
However, the people of Daqi were even more surprised. "Those are all electrical appliances from later times, right? The washing machine, the refrigerator, and all kinds of pots."
"How come there are clothes too? Aren't these things only sold in clothing stores?"
"There are also sheets and quilt covers. The quilts and pillows look soft and comfortable."
"Those rows are all shoes, right? Do you even sell these?"
"There are also suitcases, the kind Chao Chao and her friends push when they travel, and bags like the kind Miss Jane carries."
"That's the safety seat, right? Chao Chao was sitting in it when he was in the car."
"Hey, hey, hey, look, is that a cell phone? Yes, it is a cell phone."
The people of Daqi found it incredible, and Emperor Jingxuan frowned and asked the ministers below, "Are the grocery stores of ordinary people... also like this?"
Although the ministers did not go to grocery stores on weekdays, they knew that it was impossible for them to sell everything.
They all shook their heads in unison. "Although the things sold in local grocery stores are quite diverse, covering food seasonings, daily necessities, agricultural tools and commonly used medicinal materials, they are generally long-lasting and will never be sold in stores. Fresh fruits and vegetables like these will never spoil easily."
"As for clothes and shoes, no one would want to buy them in a grocery store."
"This supermarket in the future is like a treasure chest. It seems like you can buy anything in it."
Before everyone finished discussing, Jian Yunsang and his family of three had already arrived at the shelf where the gift boxes were stored.
He Nanzhou looked up and said, "I brought the tea leaves for dad from home, so I won't buy any more. Now I'll buy some gift boxes for grandma and uncle. Take a look and see which one is better."
Chao Chao was a little confused, "Mom, besides going to grandpa's house, do we also have to go to great-grandmother's house?"
"No, I'll bring the things to your grandpa's house and let your grandpa deliver them to your great-grandma when he's free."
Although Jian Yunsang had no plans to go to his uncle's house, since he had come to Wucheng, he still had to observe the proper etiquette.
After all, his father and uncle are brothers, and she has no conflicts with her uncle, so it's just a normal visit between relatives. She hasn't been to Wucheng during the Chinese New Year in the past two years. It's a rare opportunity for her to come here empty-handed.
It's okay for her to say so, but the He family can't pretend they know nothing. As the son-in-law of the Jian family, He Nanzhou still has to have what he should have.
Chaochao nodded and listened quietly to Jian Yunsang and He Nanzhou choosing things.
After a while, the things were bought, and Chaochao was still confused.
But Emperor Jingxuan was puzzled. "Whether the things you choose are suitable for the old lady and the uncle of the Jian family is not important. What matters is that they are expensive. Am I right?"
The Grand Tutor smiled and said, "Last time when Miss Jian was chatting with her sister, she actually revealed that the old lady must be very face-conscious and talkative. So choosing the expensive one might be the most suitable thing for her."
The old lady is very old, how many foods can she really use? Maybe the foods that are really suitable for her are very cheap?
If the He family dares to give cheap things as gifts, the old lady will definitely say that the richer the He family is, the more stingy they are.
If Jian Yunsang heard this, she would definitely agree with it.
When she and He Nanzhou were married for the first year, they thought about choosing things carefully and chose the food that the old lady liked to eat. Although it was not expensive, it was definitely the kind that she would not be willing to buy on a normal day.
As a result, not long after, she heard the old lady muttering to her father, saying that the He family did not value her as a daughter-in-law, otherwise why would they be reluctant to spend money on her?
If the He family could have given Jian Yunsang a little bit of the gift through their fingers, Jian Yunsang would have returned home in glory, but they ended up giving him this thing. Maybe Jian Yunsang would have to be very cautious and tread on thin ice all his days in the He family, and get beaten and scolded at every turn.
Jian Zhengqing didn't think much about it at first, but after hearing what the old lady said, he couldn't help but think wrongly. He had a long talk with Jian Yunsang with great concern. His words implied that she should not be wronged. Although their family was not as rich as the He family, they had enough food and drink. If the He family treated her badly, they would get a divorce.
Jian Yunsang explained for a long time before Jian Zhengqing believed that he was living a good life. After that, Jian Yunsang had experience. When giving gifts to grandma and uncle, he just chose expensive ones. No matter if it was appropriate for her or not, giving the old lady a high-end wine that she never touched would probably make her happy.
After shopping around the supermarket, buying gift boxes is actually the fastest option.
After selecting their items, the three of them went to the cashier to pay.
Chaochao finally understood how this supermarket collected money.
But the people of Daqi Dynasty still found it a little unbelievable. "There are so many aisles nearby, and no one stopped them to check if they have anything on them. Anyone can go in and out. Aren't they really afraid that their things will be stolen?"
“Are people in later generations really that self-aware?”
Someone else noticed the scanner at the cashier counter and looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "I was thinking before, they bought so many things, and the packaging didn't even have the price tag on it, so how could the checkout guy remember so many prices? That's amazing, it turns out they also use machines to check out."
Emperor Jingxuan was really jealous of these convenient gadgets of later generations, "...When can we make one or two of them?"
Especially mobile phones, they now know that this phone can do more than just making calls, video calls and sending messages.
It can take photos, be read as a book, be used as a navigation, and even be a wallet. It is truly an all-purpose thing, and he wants it so much.
Yu Kangsheng: "..." Every time Emperor Jingxuan expressed such emotion, he would retreat silently and experiencedly.
If he had known earlier, he would not have come today. He has been very busy lately anyway, so His Majesty would understand if he asked the Minister of Works to take a leave and let him come.
Fortunately, this time Emperor Jingxuan just glanced at him and his attention returned to the sky.
After the three members of the He family paid the bill, Chao Chao finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Mom, what if someone secretly hides one or two things and doesn't pay for them?"
