Chapter 42

As the bald heads regained their youth, winter passed quietly.

The streets and alleys of the earth began to liven up, and festive red lanterns were hung everywhere, and the malls began to play songs with a strong festive atmosphere. When Jiang Li was asked by Grandma Chen whether the supermarket would be open during the Chinese New Year, he was stunned for a moment.

"The Chinese New Year is next week? So soon?"

"Yes." Grandma Chen said, looking at the young man in front of her for a second. As a neighbor, she knew the family situation of the Jiang family best. She said, "Xiao Jiang, if you have no plans for the New Year, why don't you come to my house?"

Jiang Li came back to his senses, lowered his head and continued to scan the code: "No, grandma, I have somewhere to go."

"Really?" Grandma Chen looked at him suspiciously, thought for a while, and asked, "Is it the friend who came to see you last time?"

"... Um." Jiang Li said, "Another friend."

"That's fine."

Grandma Chen took out money from her pocket to pay the bill. The New Year is coming soon, and there will be many relatives and children coming to the house. She bought a lot of snacks to entertain guests today. Before leaving, Grandma Chen earnestly reminded: "Xiao Jiang, if you have anything, just tell me."

"Okay, grandma."

Because the New Year is approaching, Lian Jiangli Supermarket's business in modern times has improved a lot. He bought some snack gift packs, which were very popular with the children. The arrival of the New Year also made his hometown, a small city, lively.

The New Year was coming, and all suppliers were going to have holidays. Just in case, Jiang Li made a special phone call to order more goods to cope with the future business.

In fact, Lin Chengrui also sent him a message, asking him if he wanted to go to his house for the New Year this year.

The hot sales of hair growth drugs made Lin Chengrui very confident at home. What's more, the products he sold also solved a big worry for the elders in the family. Not only the uncles and aunts of the Mediterranean, but also the brothers and sisters of the same generation benefited. He suddenly became the most proud person in the family and was praised by everyone.

And he can have what he has today, all thanks to the hair growth drugs provided by Jiang Li. Therefore, Lin Chengrui extended an invitation enthusiastically.

Jiang Li politely refused: [No thanks.]

Lin Chengrui: [Really? This year our family plans to go to the island for the New Year, and my parents also said they want to get to know you.] Jiang

Li: [I have somewhere to go.]

Lin Chengrui did not insist, but before the express delivery stopped during the New Year, Jiang Li received his New Year gift, which was seafood packed in several large foam boxes. When the lids were opened, they still had the fishy and salty smell of sea water. Because the quantity was too large, the freezer area in the kitchen refrigerator could not completely fit it.

The quantity was too much for him to finish it all by himself. Jiang Li was in a dilemma.

So, on this day, every customer who came to the supermarket saw something strange at the door of the supermarket.

"Is this a fish? Such a big fish, could it be a monster?"

"This thing looks so strange, it must be a monster!"

"What is this?"

"Boss Jiang Li, what did you put here?"

The winter in Dolei City is very cold. The outdoor area is a natural cold storage. The seafood is placed outside with the foam box, and even the ice inside for preservation will not melt. At the same time, it also attracted a lot of people's attention.

In less than half a day, the residents of Dolei City had heard the news and rushed over, and visited the monster corpse placed at the door of the supermarket.

Even the adventurers who have been fighting monsters for many years can't explain it. But a person who recently moved to Dolei City to settle down said: "This seems to be... seafood!"

"Seafood?"

"My hometown is in the easternmost part of the mainland, a city by the sea. There are tsunamis all year round, and there are also terrible monsters in the sea, so we had to leave our hometown and find a new place to live." The man said nostalgically: "The fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea are very delicious. We rely on those foods for a living, but they will die soon after leaving the sea water, and they cannot be transported long distances. After leaving my hometown, I have never eaten seafood again."

The man's eyes lit up and his face was full of expectation: "I didn't expect to see it here, Boss Jiang Li, can you sell this?"

Jiang Li shook his head: "No, this is given to me by someone else."

The customer was immediately disappointed.

Hearing that it was a delicious thing, other guests came forward one after another, curiously looking at the thing called seafood in the foam box. Except for the fish, they all looked strange, including shrimps longer than hands, shellfish as big as palms, and giant lobsters with long whiskers staring with lifeless eyes. Especially the king crabs in one of the boxes, which were bigger than human heads, with sharp claws and scary appearance.

Can such ugly things be delicious?

Everyone was skeptical.

Soon, the figure of a silver-haired elf appeared at the street corner.

He just came from the tofu shop, drank soy milk, and held a piece of tofu in his hand, which was the ingredients for today's lunch. Before he approached the supermarket, Messenner paused and frowned slightly.

"The smell of corpses."

The seafood was placed carelessly at the door. Messenner took a look and quickly looked away. He asked Jiang Li: "Why put the corpses at the door?"

Jiang Li argued: "Teacher, these are all delicious ingredients!"

Unfortunately, seafood is not on the elves' recipes. The elves cannot understand the human's love of eating animal corpses, but they respect it.

However...

He took out his staff, a small magic that can eliminate odors, and the smell of seafood at the supermarket door soon disappeared. Although this small magic has nothing to do with combat, it is very practical. When walking on the Lalan Continent, as the current situation often happens, it has helped him many times.

After the smell disappeared, Messenner's brows relaxed, "What are you going to do with the bodies?"

"Those aren't... Never mind." Jiang Li said, "In fact, I invited Augustus to come and taste these seafood together."

Dore City is located inland, far away from the sea. There is no seafood here because of limited transportation conditions. Even the young city lord Dean, who was born in a noble family, has only tasted ordinary river fish. Therefore, when Jiang Li asked someone to bring him a message, he agreed immediately.

Messenner had no objection.

He just came here to teach students as usual.

When there were no customers in the supermarket, it was his teaching time.

But today he keenly noticed that Jiang Li seemed absent-minded. The magic power that had been close to stability after many days of practice became a little uneasy, and the magic elements around him were also particularly active, just like the mood of the master.

"Seafood, then are you still eating it?" Messenner guessed.

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment. There

is no Spring Festival in the other world, and Jiang Li could not explain to him how modern people feel when encountering the Spring Festival. When the earth is bustling and welcoming the New Year, life in the other world is as usual.

Although he has not told anyone, he has already decided in his heart that this year's New Year will be spent in the other world.

Jiang Li thought for a moment: "Teacher, do you want to buy new clothes?"

Messenner: "Hmm?"

"Or, do you want to eat a big gift pack of snacks? The kind sold in supermarkets recently."

Jiang Li pointed it out to him. The potato chips that are usually loved by elves have changed their packaging. The content has not changed much. The new packaging is an enlarged potato chip packaging. There are several bags of potato chips with different flavors inside. The fancy appearance is very attractive to children.

Messenner: "Hmm..."

"You can't eat seafood, but I can buy vegetables." Jiang Li pondered. Although the seeds of the other world have not been planted yet, he can go to the modern world to buy vegetables. Of course, the more people there are, the more lively it is when eating New Year's Eve dinner. "By the way, I plan to grill the seafood. The vegetables in the grill are also very delicious."

Messenner paused: "Grill?"
