Chapter 8

Before coming to the supermarket to investigate, Augustus had already retrieved all the documents related to this store and read them one by one.

This supermarket suddenly appeared in Dore City, replacing an old store that had closed down and had not yet found a new tenant. When Augustus flipped through the deed of the shopping street, he found that there was an extra copy of the lease of the shopping street without anyone handling it, and it was an unbreakable magic contract.

Just as the origin of the supermarket was mysterious, Augustus guessed that the owner behind this supermarket must be a mysterious and powerful magician, who could quietly bypass the heavy defenses without attracting anyone's attention.

As powerful as the court magician of the royal capital, he was enough to destroy a city-state with his own strength. It was not a good thing to offend such a magician. Therefore, Augustus did not act rashly, but only asked people to observe the recent situation of the supermarket. On the contrary, as long as the magician had no ill intentions, he was very happy that such a strong man appeared in Dolei City.

After the supermarket appeared in Dolei City, there was no excessive action. It opened and operated in a low-key manner. Over time, Augustus let go of his tension. Perhaps, it was just a great magician who suddenly wanted to open a magic store, and it just happened to be opened in Dolei City. He was not interested and did not disturb it.

Until he tasted the food called hot pot.

It was obviously a magic store, but it was first famous for its food.

Although he had never heard of these delicacies, they were still amazingly delicious.

Similarly, it was those foods that made him determined. Selling convenient and delicious food to the residents of Dore City at such a low price of five silver coins, this great magician is not only powerful, but also very generous and kind. Therefore, it is of great benefit to Dore City to make friends with him.

Augustus walked into the supermarket.

The moment he stepped into the door, a cool breeze blew on his face, and the heat from the outside dissipated at once.

It was so cool.

Although he had heard rumors about this supermarket from the servants, Augustus was still surprised when he really stood here.

Being able to set up such a huge magic circle and keep it running all the time, as the future lord of Dore City, even the lord's mansion would not have such a luxurious arrangement.

His eyes swept across the bright lamps on the roof, the clean walls, the clean floor, the neat shelves...Finally, they stopped at Jiang Li behind the cash register.

Hair as mysterious as the night, eyes as bright as obsidian, handsome features, but too young. If Augustus had not inquired about it long ago, he would never have thought that the mysterious owner of the supermarket was such a young and handsome man.

Is this the great magician?

Strange, he did not feel the fluctuation of magic elements in this owner.

However, this is understandable. Augustus quickly figured it out: for a powerful magician to control magic elements is as easy as breathing. Perhaps because he is too weak, his eyes cannot detect the true identity of this great magician.

Augustus's eyes stayed on the shopkeeper for a moment before he looked away modestly, fearing that his rudeness would offend the great magician.

"Welcome."

Jiang Li was also observing the new guest.

Unlike the adventurers who often patronized the shop and the ordinary residents of Dolei City, this new guest with blond hair and blue eyes was obviously dressed much more luxuriously than the others. Jiang Li guessed that the visitor should be a noble. Occasionally, cooks from noble families would come to his supermarket to buy things, but it was rare for nobles to come here in person.

Thinking of the arrogant and aloof nobles mentioned by Chris, Jiang Li was not interested and did not disturb them.

Augustus did not go straight to the shelves of instant noodles and hot pot bases like the others, but strolled slowly in the supermarket.

The supermarket sells a wide variety of goods. In addition to the convenience foods he already knows, there is also a whole shelf of magic potions, various magic instruments, exquisite porcelain, exquisite glass products... There are also many bottles and jars that he does not recognize and has never seen before, and even more are packages with unknown pictures and texts. Augustus cannot identify the contents inside just by looking at the appearance.

Maybe he can ask the owner for advice. Augustus thought.

Just as this idea came into his mind, a new customer came to the door.

"Boss, I'm here again."

Jiang Li greeted: "Good morning, Mr. Chris."

Augustus turned around from the gap in the shelf and saw an adventurer walking in from outside.

Jiang Li asked, "Miss Irene, aren't they with you?"

"The weather is too hot, so they went out of town." The forest outside the city is much cooler than the one inside, and they can also catch monster meat for lunch. Chris wiped his sweat and exclaimed, "It's really cool here, magic is so convenient."

It's not magic, it's air conditioning.

He and his supermarket traveled through time, but it was still connected to the electricity meter on Earth, so the electricity in the supermarket was functioning normally. Jiang Li didn't know the principle, and likewise, he couldn't explain what electricity was to the residents of the other world.

Just treat it as magic. Jiang Li thought.

"Are we having hot pot today too?" he asked.

"That's right." Chris skillfully took out a silver coin from his pocket: "Closing soup and tomatoes, both."

Seeing Chris skillfully take two packets of hot pot base, Jiang Li couldn't help asking: "You eat hot pot every day, don't you get tired of it?"

"Such delicious food, of course you won't get tired of it." Chris asked again: "No luncheon meat?"

"Yes, it's sold out."

Chris had to take more ham and bacon, and then he looked at the shelf of vermicelli noodles, which was also empty. He couldn't help but sigh: "This is sold out too fast."

"Thanks to you guys for promoting my business, my business has become so good." Ginger said, "I'll treat you to a popsicle."

"Really?" Chris said in surprise, "Thank you, you're so generous!"

Wait, what is a popsicle?

Augustus suddenly raised his head and looked at the door with burning eyes.

He had never heard of it!

Ginger walked out from behind the cash register, took out a popsicle from the big freezer next to him, and handed it to Chris. After thanking him, Chris opened the package and took a bite.

Crack!

The sound of the popsicle breaking reached Augustus' ears clearly. With his excellent eyesight, he could clearly see the white mist lingering on the food called popsicle.

Ice?

If there is ice magic, it is not difficult to make ice cubes in the summer. There is also a store in Dore City that sells smoothies in the summer. The smoothies are topped with cut fruits. Although the price is expensive, they are very popular.

But...

Chris exclaimed: "No matter how many times I eat it, this chocolate ice cream is as delicious as ever."

Augustus' eyes widened: What is chocolate!

"Oh, by the way." Jiang Li said: "I just bought some hot pot meatballs. They are also delicious in hot pot. Do you want to try them? But they can't be kept for a long time. They must be eaten immediately."

"Of course!" Chris answered very quickly: "Please help me pack some."

Meatballs that will taste good in hot pot? !

Augustus' eyes lit up: He has never eaten it either!

Jiang Li opened the freezer and put some of each type of meatballs in a bag, about the amount for Chris and others to eat in one meal. He didn't dare to take more for fear of spoiling them. After watching Chris check out and leave, he turned back to the cashier.

As soon as he entered, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps. The blond nobleman who had just walked into the supermarket walked up to him quickly and looked at him eagerly: "That... that thing called popsicle..."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment and pointed to the location of the freezer: "There, please choose whatever you like."

Augustus then noticed a row of large freezers against the wall. As soon as he pushed open the glass door on top, he could feel a cool breath coming out from inside. He was shocked when he realized what this was.

Such a huge ice box? !

Augustus remained silent and took the one that the adventurer had just tasted from the many varieties inside.

After unpacking, he stared at the dark brown chocolate ice cream in front of him carefully until water droplets appeared on the surface of the chocolate crisp shell due to the alternating hot and cold. He then took a careful bite. So

sweet!

How can ice be so sweet? !

No, this is definitely not the taste of ice.

The slightly bitter chocolate in the sweetness is sandwiched with chopped nuts. The bitterness and sweetness blend perfectly. Inside is ice cream the same color as milk, but the taste is very soft. After melting, it flows on the tip of the tongue, as smooth as satin. Wrapped in the innermost is another whole piece of chocolate!

Augustus quickly and carefully finished a whole chocolate ice cream bar, and then took another one from the freezer in a different packaging.

This time it was not chocolate, but a popsicle with a rich fruity aroma. The shell tasted like cantaloupe, the ice cream tasted like milk, and inside was a kind of square, crispy and elastic particles mixed with jam... Delicious!

He took another one. The soft and cute glutinous rice cake, the outer skin was a sticky mochi skin, and the inside was wrapped in soft and sweet ice cream, and inside was a whole large piece of fruit flesh. He bit down half of it, and the softness filled his mouth.

This one is delicious! That one is delicious too!

Jiang Li stared at the blond nobleman who ate one popsicle after another in an elegant but extremely fast manner. He took a breath and couldn't help but feel a toothache.

As if noticing his gaze, the blond nobleman slowly wiped the ice stains from his lips, walked over and said elegantly: "This food called popsicle is really delicious."

Jiang Li: "...Thank you."

Augustus said: "I want to buy it, but my ice box is too small. Can you please send the popsicle to my home?"

Jiang Li blinked and was about to agree, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He asked tentatively: "How much do you want to buy?"

Augustus turned around and pointed to the row of large freezers, and drew a circle in the air with his fingers, encircling the ice cream. He said firmly: "All!"

Jiang Li: "..."
