Chapter 10

In the following days, Jiang Li saw the figure of the blond nobleman in his supermarket every day.

Every time he came, he would take away a lot of snacks. At first, it was ice cream and drinks, the second time it was chocolate and bread biscuits, and later it was dried beans, potato chips, cheese sticks... It seems that there is nothing on the supermarket shelves that he doesn't like. According to Jiang Li's observation, he likes sweets the most, and the most purchased thing is chocolate.

In other words, there is no guest from the other world who doesn't like sweets.

Sugar is a precious seasoning in the other world, but the drinks and snacks in the supermarket are relatively cheap. Maybe it's because of the hot weather. In addition to convenience foods, sweet and cold ice cream drinks have become the second most popular products in the supermarket.

It is unknown since when, customers who patronize the supermarket also started to buy other snacks. Jiang Li did not need to find anyone to promote it. People would ask directly when they entered the store.

Jiang Li asked casually and found out that it was actually popular from the City Lord's Mansion. It is said that it was because the young city lord first tried these snacks and was fascinated by them, which gradually attracted the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, and then spread from the City Lord's Mansion to the outside.

According to the casual chat with the guests, Jiang Li learned that his regular customers were very popular in Dore City.

Not only because of his superior background and handsome appearance, Augustus Dean himself was also very powerful. He was an excellent swordsman who led the soldiers to resist several attacks by monsters and protected the safety of Dore City. He was a hero in the hearts of the residents of Dore City and a reliable city lord in the future.

Jiang Li understood.

This is what celebrities do when they promote products!

So, after seeing Augustus buy spicy strips and come back to buy them the next day, Jiang Li enthusiastically recommended spicy hot pot to him.

There are several kinds of hot pot bases on the shelves of the supermarket, but the most popular ones are clear soup and tomatoes. It’s not that the guests from the other world hate chili peppers, but Jiang Li doesn’t dare to recommend them. According to his understanding, although there are spicy spices in the other world, the spiciness is not high, and it can’t be compared with the spiciness of spicy hot pot.

But for Jiang Li’s taste, the most delicious is still spicy pot.

However, the next day after recommending spicy hot pot to Augustus, he didn’t show up again. I heard from other guests that a group of monsters appeared outside the city again, and the young city lord took the soldiers out of the city to encircle and suppress the monsters.

Jiang Li felt a little regretful: he wanted to know how the people in the other world would accept chili peppers.

Fortunately, the siege went very smoothly. After a few days, he received news that Augustus had returned safely with his soldiers.

While the residents of Dore City were celebrating, Jiang Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in this alien world with magic and monsters, he was just a powerless civilian who couldn't even arm wrestle with an adventurer like Chris, let alone face the ferocious monsters outside the city with his bare hands. Although he had a golden finger, he could only travel through two worlds. If something happened in Dore City, he would not be able to survive in this alien world.

His supermarket has just started in this alien world, and Jiang Li doesn't want to give up so quickly.

In order to celebrate the success of the encirclement and suppression of monsters, the residents of Dore City came to the supermarket to buy and prepare a sumptuous lunch. And Jiang Li also ordered milk tea.

When he returned to Earth to order takeout, he left the order at the door without making a phone call. Half an hour later, he returned to the alien world with milk that had not yet melted.

Just as the straw was inserted, a familiar carriage stopped at the door and a blond nobleman pushed the door open.

"Jiang..." Augustus paused, his azure eyes suddenly became sharp, and his eyes fell on the milk tea in his hand.

Jiang Li, who had just taken a sip, said: "..."

During this period of time, the blond nobleman visited the supermarket repeatedly, and every time he came, the two would say a few words, so Jiang Li quickly became familiar with him and exchanged names. After getting to know each other, the relationship between the two became much closer, and they were no longer as polite and respectful as when they first met.

Jiang Li swallowed the pearls in his mouth without changing his expression, and handed over another cup of milk tea in the bag: "Here you go."

Augustus' face showed visibly joy, and he took it with both hands: "Is this specially prepared for me?"

Jiang Li: "...Yes."

In fact, one cup would not be enough to add up to the delivery fee, so he ordered two cups, and originally wanted to drink them all by himself.

Jiang Li said calmly: "I heard that you eliminated the threat outside the city and protected Dore City once again. Congratulations on your victory."

The white lie made Augustus's face even happier. He thanked him excitedly, then skillfully inserted the straw into the cup and carefully took a big sip.

The smooth milk flowed down his throat into his stomach, and the sweet taste filled his mouth. He also tasted the taste of tea in it, but with the neutralization of milk and sugar, the bitterness of the tea soup was completely covered, leaving only a faint fragrance in the milk tea. Gulp, gulp, Augustus sucked a mouthful of pearls.

He chewed the pearls, which were very elastic and chewy, making people very addicted.

"What is this?"

"Pearl milk tea."

"Pearls? Can this be made into food?" Augustus exclaimed: "Pearls, tea leaves, sugar... Is this a new product in the supermarket? I believe it will be very popular."

The pearls in the milk tea were not the pearls he thought.

Jiang Li thought about it, and without explanation, he shook his head and answered: "This is not it."

Augustus was stunned, and then ecstatic: "Is it specially prepared to celebrate my victory?! This... this... is such an honor!"

Jiang Li hesitated: "..."

Originally, I ordered the milk tea for this reason. If you think so, there is nothing wrong with it.

"If I could drink this delicious bubble tea on a regular basis, I would be more powerful when fighting monsters!"

Although supermarkets don't sell freshly made milk tea, there are substitutes - instant milk tea powder, and there are many flavors.

So, this time, Augustus took away a lot of instant milk tea powder.

After paying the bill, he was not in a hurry to leave, but said to Jiang Li seriously: "Since spring, the activities of monsters in the forest outside Dore City have become more and more frequent, and traces of monsters have begun to appear in places that should have been safe areas."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why he told him this specifically, his mood inevitably became solemn when he heard the news.

Although he is not a native resident of Dore City, after running his supermarket here for a while, he has already met many friends from other worlds, adventurers, neighbors in the shopping street, and the blond nobleman in front of him.

If the monster destroyed Dolei City, Jiang Li could return to Earth and continue to live a peaceful life, but he did not want to let the people he was familiar with suffer such torture.

"However, Duolei City is still very safe. Although there are more and more traces of monsters, the adventurers in Duolei City are enough to deal with them, and everything outside the city is under our surveillance at all times." Augustus put his hand on the long sword at his waist, and his blue eyes flashed with bright and resolute light: "I will never let those ugly things step into Duolei City!"

The Dean family has guarded Duolei City for generations, and each generation of city lords has been obliged to stand at the forefront of the battle against monsters. At this moment, the young Dean in front of him has inherited the fighting spirit of his ancestors, and he has also won glory for himself with the sword in his hand.

At this moment, Jiang Li also felt the mood of the people in Duolei City, and he said sincerely: "I believe you."

Augustus looked slightly relaxed and showed an obvious smile.

Then, he changed the subject, took out an exquisite invitation from his pocket, and handed it to Jiang Li.

"My father wants to invite you to the castle in three days."

"Earl Dean?" Jiang Li took the invitation. The wax seal with the gold stamped outer seal had the family crest of the Dean family. Thinking of what the blond noble had just said, he hesitated: "If it's about the monsters, I'm afraid..."

"No, no, no."

Augustus explained quickly: "I just want to invite you to have a meal. As for the monsters outside the city, this is the responsibility of the city lord. Of course, it won't bother you."

Jiang Li thought about it and accepted the invitation: "I will visit on time in three days."
