Chapter 104
Along with the popularity of the cinema, the new shopping street in Dore City also opened in a bustling manner.
The new shopping street is located in the new city area after the expansion of Dore City, which is far away from the old shopping street. The opening of the new shopping street has greatly facilitated the daily needs of the residents in the new city area, especially with the loud sign of the cinema. Soon, new shops moved in one after another.
Most of the shops sell the same things as the old shopping street, but there are also many new shops with special features. The dwarves found a store in the new shopping street and sold various electrical appliances and tools based on electricity that they made themselves. The new residents who moved into Dore City brought the characteristics of other cities. The elves reached a cooperation with the fruit and vegetable shops in the new shopping street and provided them with vegetables and fruits grown by themselves. The fruits and vegetables grown by the elves are big and good, and are very popular.
Jiang Li also took the opportunity to rent two stores. Now
that we have a cinema, how can we miss a milk tea shop and a fried chicken shop?
Milk tea and fried chicken are the perfect match for watching movies!
He posted a notice at the door of the new store and soon found suitable employees among a large number of applicants. Whether it is milk or chicken, you can find a stable supplier in the other world. The remaining tea leaves, sugar, fried chicken seasonings, etc. are sold in supermarkets. After teaching employees with ready-made recipes, Jiang Li's milk tea shop and fried chicken shop opened in a bustling manner.
On the opening day, the customers who rushed in after hearing the news almost broke the door.
When have they ever been disappointed by the food produced in the supermarket? With new products, of course they can't miss it!
Although instant milk tea powder is sold in supermarkets, the taste of instant milk tea made from powder is completely incomparable to fresh milk tea. The silky milk is as soft as satin, not to mention the unique small ingredients such as pearls, taro balls, and jelly, which are sweet and chewy, adding flavor to the sweet milk tea. Every person in the other world who drinks milk tea can't stop drinking it.
There is also fruit tea with unique flavor, which uses only fresh fruits just picked from the trees. Different fruits are matched together, and the taste is completely different. It is fresh and delicious, and even elves can't put it down. Especially in the increasingly hot summer, refreshing fruit tea is more popular than sweet milk tea.
In addition, there are unique smoothies, which are made by crushing ice cubes with milk or yogurt. Eat them quickly before they melt. A mouthful of ice will cool you down from your throat to your stomach. In the hot summer, it feels like you are in the coolness of ice magic.
When watching a movie, enjoying a wonderful movie and holding a cup of delicious milk tea is simply the ultimate enjoyment.
There is also a fried chicken shop. People in the other world are not unfamiliar with fried chicken. There is a local dish that deep-fry chicken, but the newly opened fried chicken shop in Jiangli is a little different from what they remember.
The soft and juicy chicken is wrapped in a crispy shell. When you bite it, the batter is so crispy that it falls apart. The gravy is locked in the batter, and the meat is extremely tender. It is paired with the store's special flavor dipping sauce, whether it is sweet and spicy sauce or honey mustard, or cumin powder, sweet plum powder and other seasoning powders, all kinds of flavors, each with its own deliciousness.
The two small shops supply diners from the entire Dolei City. There are long queues in front of the door every day, and the employees of the milk tea shop and fried chicken shop are busy.
As for the boss Jiang Li himself, he sat leisurely in the supermarket and enjoyed the air conditioning.
He is just an ordinary supermarket owner. His main responsibility is, of course, to open a supermarket.
"Ding Dong~"
The door prompt sounded, and a customer stepped into the door of the supermarket.
"Welcome... huh?" Jiang Li looked at the adventurer in front of him. He hadn't seen him for a long time. The adventurer's beard had grown longer, but he still recognized the familiar face quickly. This was a regular customer of the supermarket: "You are not..."
"Yes, Boss Jiang Li, I am back to Dolei City again." The adventurer took off the heavy backpack behind him. "I originally embarked on the journey to defeat the Demon King, but I didn't expect that Dolei City is too far away from the Demon King's City. Halfway through the journey, I heard the news of the demons surrendering. After this happened, our team that was assembled to defeat the Demon King was disbanded on the spot, so I returned to Dolei City again."
Actually, it was a peace talk. Jiang Li thought. However, in the mouths of humans and demons, "peace talks" have another way of saying it.
Yes, the familiar customer in front of him was one of the adventurers who were going to attack the devil. Before setting off, he came to the supermarket to replenish his supplies.
"I haven't thanked you yet. After setting off, when we were packing our backpacks, we found that there were a lot more things in our backpacks. Thank you for your generous gift." The adventurer patted his backpack and said helplessly, "Because I prepared too many supplies, I haven't finished eating yet."
"But since we are in the supermarket, of course... Boss Jiang Li, give me a grilled sausage!"
Jiang Li took a grilled sausage from the grill and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"It should be the same as before, fighting monsters outside the city. Although the demon king has surrendered, the number of monsters outside the city has not decreased at all, and there are still as many as before. Well, the grilled sausage tastes the same!" The adventurer ate grilled sausages and said, "However, the city of Dolei has changed a lot. When I entered the city today, I almost didn't recognize it. That thing called a movie is so exciting! This time when I come back, I want to watch all the movies in the cinema in one go. By the way, I also want to try writing a story... Although I didn't defeat the demon king this time, I encountered a lot of interesting things on the way. I have to write it down before I forget it."
"Write a story?"
"Yes, maybe it can be made into a movie in the future! I heard that everyone is looking for excellent stories to make into movies. My story is no worse than others. When it is released in the cinema, Boss Jiang Li, you must remember to come and see it."
Jiang Li agreed immediately: "I will definitely go."
After eating the grilled sausage, the adventurer put on his backpack again, waved to him, and left the supermarket.
There are many people like this adventurer.
When the actions of the Demon King's Legion became more frequent and the king summoned heroes from all over the world to attack the Demon King's Castle, many people responded to the call and left Dore City. Most of these people were homeless and wandered around. After peace came, some of them returned to their hometowns, some passed by other cities and were attracted to stay, and there were more who, after going around in circles, finally chose to return to Dore City.
The engineering team of Dolei City has never rested. The new city area accommodates the new residents of Dolei City, but more people continue to come to Dolei City. Mayor Dean had to order the engineering team to work overtime to speed up the construction progress so as to accept more new citizens.
Especially after the peace talks between the demons and humans, more people came to Dolei City. The peace talks proposed by the demon king included the supermarket. For a while, the supermarket became famous. In places outside Dolei City that Jiang Li didn't know, countless people speculated that it was the owner of the supermarket who defeated the terrible demon king, and the medal of bravery awarded by the king proved the reliability of this rumor. Countless people came to Dolei City for the title of brave.
Jiang Li sat at the door of the supermarket, watching the passers-by coming and going in the shopping street. Some of them were obviously people who came to Dolei City for the first time, and they were curious about everything.
For example, this unfamiliar new customer who just entered the supermarket was obviously visiting Dolei City for the first time. He stopped at the entrance of the supermarket and compared the address in his hand with the very conspicuous sign at the entrance of the supermarket - the succulent tree. After confirming it several times, he took a deep breath and walked in.
The new customer looked at the decoration inside the supermarket nervously. Whether it was the bright incandescent lights, the novel refrigerators, the floor tiles that could be seen through the light, or the rows of neat shelves, every thing that was different from common sense was lingered by his eyes.
Is this the legendary supermarket?
Then... the new customer looked at the black-haired young man standing at the cash register. He looked very young and handsome. Is this the owner of the supermarket who defeated the devil in the legend?
Receiving the nervous gaze of the new customer, Jiang Li took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, what would you like to order?"
Jiang Li introduced: "The supermarket sells everything, snacks and drinks, daily necessities, everything is available, you can pick whatever you want."
"Anything is fine?" the new customer asked.
Jiang Li replied: "What do you want to buy?"
"Well..." The new customer glanced at the note in his hand and asked: "I want to buy a pack of hot pot base, and... and an electric fan."
The new customer hesitated and took out five gold coins from his pocket: "But these are all I have, is it enough?"
Jiang Li: "Of course!"
Jiang Li's otherworldly supermarket is also open for business today!
