Chapter 90
In the morning, Jiang Li had just opened the door of the supermarket when a long-awaited red figure rushed in.
Serego slapped a bag of gold coins on the cash register and said confidently, "I want to buy those appliances in your house."
Serego had been eyeing those appliances for a long time.
In the whole city of Dolei, no one would not know Jiang Li's home, which was located near the central square. Every night, the house would always be lit with soft lights, and everyone had heard about the various household appliances in this house.
Whether it was an air conditioner or a refrigerator, or various convenient and fast kitchen appliances, the solar panels on the roof alone were very eye-catching. Unfortunately, Jiang Li refused to sell those appliances even when the young city lord of Duolei City asked to buy them as a friend.
But now it is different.
Yesterday, many people saw the dwarves leaving the supermarket with small appliances. With the electricity in Duolei City, people's hearts are full of hope.
Since the dwarves can buy them, can they buy them too?
They have wanted those appliances for a long time!
Not only the rice cooker that can make delicious stewed rice without watching the fire, but also the microwave oven that heats food in a few seconds, or the electric kettle that can boil water with one button... There are many tools that are convenient and fast, and dragons want them when they see them.
In response, Jiang Li just said: "Okay, it's on the shelf, please choose it yourself."
"That's not what I want." Serego said: "Those dwarves only bought some small things, I want something else."
Jiang Li: "Other things?"
"For example..." Serego looked around and pointed to the large freezer containing frozen foods: "I want that one."
Jiang Li blinked: "That's not for sale."
Serego was furious: "You are willing to sell it to those dwarves, but not to me?!"
"That's not a product sold in the supermarket." Jiang Li said helplessly: "I run a supermarket, but I can't sell the shelves to you."
Serego looked back at the freezer full of frozen foods and asked reluctantly: "Then what can you sell to me?"
"It's on the shelf over there."
"Isn't that exactly the same as those dwarves?!"
Jiang Li asked back: "Don't you want it?"
"I want something different, better and bigger than those, like the one in your house." Serego emphasized: "I have money."
Jiang Li: "Sorry, those are not sold in the supermarket."
Serego: "..."
Smart home appliances are sold in large supermarkets, but Jiang Li only runs a small convenience supermarket, and the electrical appliances sold are only some small appliances, which are relatively cheap. Refrigerators and air conditioners are certainly not products in a small convenience supermarket. However,
in the future, we can import some products in this area to enrich the content of the supermarket.
But this is something that will happen in the future. At this moment, Jiang Li asked: "Then do you still want it?"
Serego: "...Yes."
The dragon came excitedly, and finally left with a displeased expression on his face holding a few small household appliances.
In addition to Serrego, Jiang Li sold a lot of small household appliances this morning. Naturally, the nobles and rich people in Dore City would not miss the new products in the supermarket. Among them, Brian was the fastest runner. After learning that dwarves could buy electrical appliances in the supermarket, he immediately came over and took away a complete set. The convenience of home appliances also attracted many commoners to buy them, especially adventurers with ample funds.
These things are not consumables, and they are not sold in large quantities on ordinary days. Jiang Li did not prepare much inventory at all, resulting in the small household appliances on the shelves being sold out in just half a morning, and even the inventory in the warehouse was emptied.
Jiang Li had to hang a sign at the door, writing in the common language of the mainland that the household appliances were sold out.
When the Demon King entered the human city, he saw people holding boxes
of household appliances in high spirits. He looked at the cardboard boxes in the hands of the people a few more times, which were printed with patterns of household appliances, but the use of these items could not be seen from the appearance. Those who bought household appliances passed by him, and they were still excitedly muttering words like "electricity".
Electricity?
Is this the secret of human transformation?
Thinking of this, Nekonos couldn't help but look a few more times.
Perhaps his gaze was too obvious, and the adventurer on the other side was offended and looked over here. When their eyes met, they were stunned for a moment. Chris, who was standing in the middle, was the first to shout: "Ah! You are that...that..."
The devil looked at him blankly.
"I accidentally bumped into you that day, have you forgotten?" Chris and his companions came over: "Later, I looked for you several times, but couldn't find you. Don't you live in Dore City?"
"Yes." Nekonos said, "I live somewhere else."
"No wonder!"
Chris patted the box in his hand: "Then you must be here to buy electrical appliances? Unfortunately, you came too late and they have been sold out."
Nekonos asked: "What is this?"
"It's a rice cooker." Chris said proudly: "We grabbed the last one. As long as we ask the dwarf craftsman to install a socket in our house, we can eat delicious rice anytime in the future."
Nekonos knew that rice was delicious.
But...
"What is electricity?" he asked, "Is it a new weapon for mankind?"
Chris and his companions: "..."
"Electricity is that!" Irene pointed to a street lamp not far away: "Dore City has electricity, and electric lights are powered by electricity. Don't you know that?"
Nekomus shook his head.
He asked again: "Last night, the thing that was as bright as fire in this city, was it electricity?"
"Yes."
The devil asked: "Is this also sold in the supermarket?"
Chris shook his head and looked at his companions: "So, it is..."
After all, everyone knew that it was Mr. Jiang Li who taught the dwarf Eugene about electricity.
The devil nodded and strode into the supermarket.
He pushed open the glass door, walked to the cashier, and solemnly put forward his needs to the owner of the supermarket: "I want to buy an electric light."
Jiang Li: "..."
Jiang Li raised his head, and the man in front of him was wrapped in a black robe, with black hair and a pale face. Because he hadn't seen him for a long time, Jiang Li was stunned when he saw him, and it was only by relying on the impressive scarlet eyes that he recognized him.
"The supermarket doesn't sell electricity." Jiang Li said helplessly: "If you want an electric light, go to the dwarf craftsman, he will connect the wires to your home. The electrical appliances have been sold out, and it will take a few days to get them."
Nekomis frowned: "Electric wires?"
Jiang Li walked out and pointed to the power generation device at the easternmost end of Dore City. It was made by the dwarves together, and it was so big that it didn't even block the roof of the shopping street.
"Did you see that? Electricity is generated by that device and then transmitted to various places through wires. Only when there are wires connected can the lights turn on."
The demon king's eyes also lit up.
This is really interesting!
The demon king's castle has no sun all year round, but the demons do not need light. In addition to the lights, other electrical appliances are also very interesting. At least, Nekonos has never seen them before.
"By the way, I remember that you are not from Dolei City." Jiang Li reminded: "Currently, only Dolei City has electricity. If you live in other cities, you still can't use it. If you can't use electricity, many electronic products that need to be plugged in or charged cannot be used."
Nekomus: "..."
Nekomus suddenly remembered something: "Could it be that even games..."
"Yes." Jiang Li told him: "Because of the restrictions, we could only give you battery-powered game consoles before. In fact, most game consoles are rechargeable models, but even if they are sold to you, you can't use them."
"However, if you wait slowly, other cities will gradually have electricity."
As far as Jiang Li knows, after Dolei City was powered on, this matter was reported to His Majesty the King of the Royal Capital. His Majesty the King attached great importance to this and sent a whole team of craftsmen to exchange ideas. They were on their way from the capital.
If His Majesty the King promotes it, I believe that electricity will soon be available in every city on the mainland.
Jiang Li comforted him, "As long as your city also has electricity, you can also use those electrical appliances."
The Demon King, who lives in the Demon King's City and borders humans but will never cooperate with them, said: "..."
