Chapter 27
Lin Chengrui: [What difficulties have you encountered? ]
Lin Chengrui: [Is there a problem with your supermarket? ]
Lin Chengrui: [What did you do? Why are you short of money? Did you get scammed? ]
Jiang Li didn't have time to reply, and the other party had already sent a long string of messages.
Seeing that the other party's speculation was getting more and more outrageous, he quickly typed: [No, nothing happened. ]
Lin Chengrui: [Really? ]
Lin Chengrui: [If you have any difficulties, remember to tell me, don't be polite to me! ]
There are problems, but it is not convenient to tell anyone about the things in the other world. He can't tell others that his supermarket can travel to the other world every day, bring modern goods to the other world to sell, and it is very popular and makes a lot of money. In that case, his friends might really call the anti-fraud center.
However, Jiang Li was still deeply moved by his friends' concern for him.
The two chatted for a few sentences and were relieved when they confirmed that he really hadn't encountered any problems.
Lin Chengrui: [A friend of mine owns a hot spring hotel that will open in a while. It's not far from your city. Do you want to go together?]
Lin Chengrui: [Last time during the National Day, a group of people in our dormitory went out to travel. We asked you to go out, but you didn't agree. You can't be busy this time, right?]
Jiang Li calculated the time. It happened that the hot spring hotel opened during the winter snow festival in Dolei City. He had already promised Augustus that he would attend, so he couldn't break the promise.
Jiang Li could only reply apologetically: [I have other things to do. It's not convenient. Let's go next time.]
Lin Chengrui: [...Okay.]
...
Dolei City.
The much-anticipated Winter Snow Festival has not yet arrived, but the residents of the city are in full swing of preparation.
Early this morning, Jiang Li opened the door and found that someone had erected a snowman at the entrance of the supermarket, with a long carrot stuck on its head. The shopping street where the supermarket is located was also decorated with Winter Snow Festival decorations, which spread to the end of the road, and even the succulent trees were hung with colorful flags.
It snowed heavily again last night. The owner of the second store on the left was clearing the snow in front of his store. When he saw Jiang Li coming out, he stopped and greeted Jiang Li: "Mr. Jiang Li, I heard that you will also come to participate in the Winter Snow Festival?"
"Yes." Jiang Li replied casually: "Augustus invited me."
"That's really great."
The second store on the left is a bakery. Every day, the bakery smells the sweet fragrance of baking bread. The owner of the bakery is a chubby aunt. At this moment, her round face is full of gentle smiles: "I have prepared a new bread specially for the Winter Snow Festival. It will only be sold at the Winter Snow Festival booth. You must come and try it when the time comes."
"The Winter Snow Festival booth?"
"Yes."
"Do you also have a booth at the Winter Snow Festival?"
"Of course." The bakery owner said cheerfully, "On the day of the Winter Snow Festival, people from all over the city will participate, and business will be much better than usual. Not only me, but Pete and his friends will also set up stalls during the Winter Snow Festival."
Jiang Li thought about it and it was true. On Earth, during holidays, the business of street vendors would be particularly good.
"Mr. Jiang Li, do you want to come?"
"Me?" Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
"If it's your stall, it will definitely be very popular." The bakery owner reminded gently, "However, if you want to set up a stall, remember to register at the central square. There are limited stalls there. If you go late, there may not be any seats. The stalls during the Winter Snow Festival are very popular."
"Okay, I'll go later."
Jiang Li also swept the snow at the door to prevent customers from slipping. .
However, he has started to learn magic, and no longer needs to use a broom like before. Coincidentally, he just learned a fire magic two days ago, but has not applied it yet, so he doesn't know how effective it is.
Feeling the flow of magic power in his body, Jiang Li soon had a fireball in his hand.
The bakery owner noticed it and immediately exclaimed "Oops".
Jiang Li carefully controlled the fireball. After his practice, he no longer released too much magic power at one time, causing the magic to get out of control. He flicked his hand lightly, and the fireball solidified by magic power floated out lightly, moving as he wished.
The fireball flew low over the snowy ground, and wherever it passed, the snow melted, revealing the gray slate ground underneath. It carefully passed the snowman at the door. As the owner's nervousness subsided, it gradually became more skilled in driving. The fireball flew faster and faster, and its size became larger and larger.
Soon, the fireball flew around the shopping street, and the snow on the entire street melted. When the snow removal work was completed, the fireball turned into magic again and dissipated in the air bike.
After seeing this, the shop owners of other shops came out and looked at the wet ground and sighed: "It's so convenient to have magic."
"Thanks to Mr. Jiang Li's help, otherwise it would take a lot of effort."
"Unlike the magicians in the Magicians Association, they are always very arrogant and even raise their chins when buying things."
"Haha, other magicians are really overkill for snow removal."
Jiang Li hung a sign of temporary suspension of business at the door, and before the customers came, he went to the central square first and reserved a stall for himself according to what the bakery owner said.
He didn't come too late, and the stalls at the Winter Snow Festival were not fully booked.
Knowing that he also wanted to set up a stall, the person in charge was very active and found a best location for him among the remaining stalls.
"You came at a perfect time. A store just happened to be reported for selling poisonous monster meat and its stall was disqualified." The person in charge said eagerly, "This location is at the entrance of the square, which is a very good location! After paying the rent, this stall is yours."
The price of a stall at the Winter Snow Festival is not cheap, especially for a good location, but it is a drop in the bucket for Jiang Li, so he paid the rent happily.
The staff actively helped him register and asked, "Mr. Jiang Li, what do you want to sell?" " Food
, right?"
"Food?!" The staff's eyes lit up: "Is it the goods sold in the supermarket?"
Other staff members nearby also pricked up their ears.
Jiang Li: "No, it's some cooked food."
"Oh——!" The staff became more excited and registered faster.
Although the food in the supermarket is delicious, they can also be bought on weekdays, and of course they want to try something different!
I wonder what kind of cooked food it will be? Hot pot? Barbecue? No, no, no, it must be something more special, right?
This year's Winter Snow Festival has become particularly exciting!
...
After returning to Earth, Jiang Li bought some equipment and materials for setting up a stall.
These things can be easily purchased through the omnipotent online shopping. He doesn't plan to make it too complicated, and one person can't handle it, he just wants to join in the fun.
If his supermarket can't be opened, then he can still set up a stall in another world! Jiang Li thought happily: My stall leads to another world?
The express delivery was very fast. In a few days, all the things he bought arrived.
An unexpected guest also came with him.
When Jiang Li saw his roommate at the door of the supermarket, he was stunned.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Chengrui stood at the door dragging his suitcase and waved at him: "Aren't you busy? I happened to be on a business trip nearby, so I came to see you."
Lin Chengrui looked him up and down and said jealously: "How come you have become more handsome after not seeing you for half a year."
Unlike him, he used to be a little handsome, but in the past six months he neglected his appearance because of his busy career. The loss of hair and the increase in weight made his already limited handsomeness even worse.
Jiang Li smiled and invited him in.
After entering the door, Lin Chengrui first looked around the supermarket calmly. The interior was bright and clean, and the shelves were full of goods, a scene of prosperity. Although there were not many customers, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, there seemed to be no problem on the outside.
It was true that he was on a business trip, but the road was not smooth at all.
The relationship between their roommates has always been good. Since graduation, they have had less contact with Jiang Li. They don’t know what he is doing. He is mysterious every day. He can’t be found in the morning, and occasionally he says one or two strange words. Since Jiang Li’s parents passed away, Jiang Li has been very depressed. When he graduated, he refused all opportunities to go back to his hometown. Now he has become like this again, and he also acts like he is short of money.
Everyone knows that Jiang Li's parents left him some inheritance, so it's impossible for him to be short of money, which makes people have to worry.
Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was fine and the supermarket was fine, Lin Chengrui felt relieved.
"By the way, do you have any vacant rooms?" Lin Chengrui asked.
"Yes."
Jiang Li's home is a two-and-a-half-story building. The first floor is a supermarket, and the upper floor is a living room, which is also very spacious. Jiang Li cleaned up the guest room and invited him to live in it.
"How many days will you stay here?"
"Three or four days first." Lin Chengrui: "I came here from a long way and want to play with you for a few days. You don't mind, right?"
Jiang Li certainly didn't mind.
It's just that there are guests at home, so it's not convenient to go to the other world for the next few days.
Fortunately, the goods that should be delivered have been delivered, and closing the store for a few days will not cause any impact. While Lin Chengrui was not paying attention, Jiang Li quickly found an opportunity to turn the hourglass over and hung a sign at the door of the store saying that it would be closed for a few days. In this way, customers who come tomorrow will see it at a glance and will not make a wasted trip.
Just after returning from the other world, Jiang Li heard Lin Chengrui calling him from upstairs: "Jiang Li? Jiang Li——"
Jiang Li quickly responded: "What?"
"You are downstairs?" Lin Chengrui poked his head out from the staircase: "I just came downstairs to look for you, but I didn't see you. I called for a long time but no one answered. Where did you go?"
Jiang Li said calmly: "I just went out for a while."
"Oh."
Lin Chengrui nodded, without thinking much, just asked: "Where are the succulents we have raised for several years? Didn't you bring them back?"
Thinking of the towering succulents that had moved to the other world, Jiang Li said tactfully: "It's a little uncomfortable with the climate and soil, I put it somewhere else."
Lin Chengrui understood.
Well, it died.
...
The next morning, Jiang Li woke up on time.
He wanted to get up and go to the other world to open a supermarket, but after sitting up, he regained consciousness and remembered that his friends were visiting and he had put up a sign saying he was closed.
It was a rare morning of rest, so he lay in bed and thought for a long time, then got up to make breakfast.
He couldn't do much else, but he could still cook two bowls of noodles.
He first fried the eggs, and then used another pot to boil water and cook the noodles. He turned on the faucet, and a thin stream of water flowed out of the faucet. It was only connected to the bottom, so the water flow turned into drops, which dripped for a while, and then there was no water at all.
Jiang Li:?
The faucet was turned on and off several times, and there was only a gurgling sound in the water pipe, and not a drop of water came out.
He was in a fog. He took out his mobile phone and found that he had received a notice yesterday about the water pipe inspection in this neighborhood. The Jiang family's small building is an old house, and there are frequent water and electricity inspections.
However, this does not stump Jiang Li. He is now a magician and can easily create water.
Just like using a fireball, he only needs to mobilize the magic elements in his body, transform them into water elements, and then control the magic power and release it...
"Jiang Li?"
Lin Chengrui also woke up. Hearing the movement in the kitchen, he got up sleepily and looked for someone: "Are you making breakfast? I..."
His footsteps stopped and his words suddenly stopped.
The two looked at each other, and the water ball in Jiang Li's hand was still surging.
Jiang Li: "..."
Lin Chengrui: "..."
Jiang Li: "..."
"Damn it." Lin Chengrui closed his eyes tightly, turned around and walked back, muttering to himself: "Why am I still not awake?"
