Chapter 057 Chapter 57
A Yan and Zhu Jue looked at the wooden door in front of them. They hadn't seen it for a long time.
The way the wooden door of the convenience store in this dimension appeared was still so bizarre.
The last time it was in a street area in a shopping mall, at least it could be mistaken for an art installation.
This time it appeared directly on the cobblestone path, and it looked like a ghost.
And...Ayan looked back at this moment.
Because this narrow path is not very comfortable to walk on, she and Juejue are the only two people walking on it now.
The door of this convenience store is not opened just for two people, right?
Last week, Ayan was still complaining to Juejue that she had finished her snacks. She hadn't eaten any snacks from the stars for a whole week.
Isn't this the opportunity to replenish stocks?
Ah Yan counted on his fingers and said, "I think it's been about a month since last time, right?"
Zhu Jue nodded, "Almost."
Ah Yan touched his chin and said, "I wonder if this is how often this wooden door appears?"
"Last time, Boss Lu said that only those with a predestined relationship could see it. Since we can see it twice, we are considered to be those with a predestined relationship. Maybe this is the frequency of the wooden door refreshing." Zhu Jue said.
"Well, that makes sense. Maybe it happens once a month for us? Next month, we'll continue to feel out the pattern. The rest of the time, this wooden door might appear in other places."
I don’t know what the criteria are for being a predestined person in this plane canteen. Ah Yan originally thought that if other people entered the plane canteen, they might also buy some snacks and sell them at a high price.
So she searched for keywords like "planet", "mist fruit", and "galaxy cup" on Taobao and Duoduo, but the related content that came up were all the planet cup chocolates she ate when she was a child, or planet ornaments.
But Ah Yan thought again, if there were others who were like them, who inexplicably walked into the wooden door and ended up in another world, they would probably easily think that this was their own "adventure", and would treat it as a secret, and would act very carefully for fear of being exposed.
A Yan took Jue Jue's hand, and she walked forward lightly. She put her left hand on the door handle and opened the door of the plane canteen.
"Guest, welcome." The voice of the owner Lu Chen came.
A Yan and Zhu Jue looked at the shop owner whom they had not seen for a month. Lu Chen's long hair was pinned up with a wooden hairpin. He wore a long gown and a pair of rustic chain glasses on his nose. His whole image seemed unpredictable and mysterious compared to last month.
Of course, to put it simply it's... so pretentious!
Lu Chen was holding a teacup in one hand at this time. He glanced casually towards the door and exchanged glances with two people who looked familiar. The teacup in his hand shook and almost fell.
"Nice to meet you again, Lu Chen." A Yan nodded at him.
Lu Chen carefully put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the customers he was serving for the first time in this world. He felt that this young couple was even calmer and more composed than him.
Since he successfully opened the shop last month with the young couple, business has been good since then.
Customers come and go in the store, including students, office workers, middle-aged rich people, and the elderly.
In fact, even Lu Chen himself doesn’t know how the store screens its customers. What is considered “fate”?
These two young lovers in front of us are obviously destined to be together.
Lu Chen had a very good impression of the two of them, not only because they were the first couple of guests in the modern era and he didn't have any romantic plots, but his impression of the two of them also emerged from the comparison with other guests over the past month.
Looking back to that day last month, the two of them suddenly appeared in the store, but they didn't ask many questions, not a hundred thousand whys.
No one came in and started shouting "fraud, call the police, are you an alien, let me out".
After seeing the magic in the noodle shop, I didn't kneel down on the ground, thinking of myself as a god and begging myself to open the time machine.
There was no intention to destroy the counter and threaten personal safety.
There are many more customers whose names are hard to describe. In short, compared with these "weirdos", Lu Chen now looks at the young couple and finds them more and more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, his current attire is also a hidden boss style that he has figured out after this month of business.
Not only that, in order to demonstrate his own inscrutable nature and the style of the Plane Convenience Store, Lu Chen Guandian learned how to control his facial muscles and expressions by watching videos on the Internet.
His business model now is that of a quiet boss. Lu Chen recalled how he was dressed when he just opened the business a month ago. When he appeared in this look now, the look in the couple's eyes was obviously a bit "strange".
"Cough cough." Lu Chen coughed lightly.
"It's you. Long time no see." He stood up from the counter and took off his chain glasses that he wore to decorate his room.
"All the snacks we had before are gone. We happened to see the door today, so we came to replenish the stock." Zhu Jue said.
Ah Yan nodded. There were still several kinds they didn't buy last time.
At this moment, the two of them no longer needed Lu Chen's introduction and walked directly to the counter.
Lu Chen watched the two people's actions:......
You two are so natural and outgoing. It's obviously only your second time here, but how come you look like old customers and seem to have come to restock your orders so naturally?
"Oh, did you change the goods?" Ah Yan looked at the things in the counter in surprise, somewhat surprised.
Are these products from the new dimension?
These things all look like they are from ancient times! The shop is pretty fast in getting new items.
"Yes, new products have been added. They happen to be the first wave of new goods." Lu Chen finally saw a hint of surprise on the two people's faces, but it was only for a moment, and the two people accepted that the future products in front of them had been replaced by ancient items.
"But we still have some snacks in stock, not much. You can take a look first. I'll go find the snacks. Since you are a regular customer, I'll give you a discount."
The two of them came to restock snacks, and Lu Chen was happy that he could clear out the stock by himself.
Speaking of which, the items currently sold in the Plane Canteen are all interstellar snacks, which are indeed a bit useless.
The problem with this dish is that it is delicious, fun, expensive, and novel, but it has no "special effects".
In the one month since the store opened, the sales volume has increased significantly, and this young couple still buys the most items, and they are repeat customers!
I had just returned from the ancient dimension, and was originally worried about what to do with the interstellar snacks that had not been sold for a month.
"Okay, let's take a look at the new stuff first."
Ah Yan nodded, and she pulled Jue Jue to lie on the counter to look at the new products.
There was a mixture of strange colors in her eyes. This time, all the merchandise in the counter was antique in style.
There are exquisite eight-treasure makeup boxes displaying various jewelry, celadon porcelain, and double-sided embroidered handkerchiefs...
There were no packaging for pens, ink, paper, or inkstones. In the store, there were several mannequins on clothes hangers, all wearing traditional Zhou Dynasty clothing.
Seeing the color and exquisiteness of the clothing, Ah Yan couldn't help but touch it. It looked very expensive.
“It’s so beautiful.”
“Is that gold foil on top?”
"It's embroidered with gold thread." Lu Chen walked to the side of the two people and looked at the goose yellow dress in front of him with great admiration.
"Do you want to try it on? Do I think it's wearable? You won't lose out if you don't buy it."
Lu Chen actually felt a little regretful after buying some local clothes in the ancient dimension, because after he came back to inquire, he found that these exquisite clothes were very expensive in ancient times!
Tailoring the clothes to the body, cherishing the fabrics, and hand-embroidery, these are all the costs plus the sky-high price to sell them.
However, modern high-productivity machine groups and mechanical embroidery printing are too common, and the ancient coloring technology is naturally not as good as today's diverse modern technology.
In modern times, the price war on traditional clothing can reach as high as two or three hundred yuan per set!
He went to an ancient dimension, and the value of the things he brought back was either reflected in the craftsmanship, the rarity, or the relevant history, and all of these require the customer to know the goods and be knowledgeable.
These clothes made at a place called Yun Tailor Shop were all made by Lu Chen, who asked a very tall and well-proportioned woman from the ancient dimension to record her body measurements.
In other words, the sets he made are all size M today.
When Lu Chen was trying to find a way to purchase the goods, he felt that he would definitely make a lot of money. After bringing them back, he was a little worried that he would not be able to sell them.
After all, the clothes produced by Taiyun Clothing Shop are worth one ounce of gold!
Therefore, when he saw Ah Yan was interested, and remembered that this young couple had a strong spending power, he immediately took the initiative to strike up a conversation and pushed the cart.
Ah Yan hesitated for a moment, "I didn't put on makeup properly. I have to do my hair to wear this, otherwise it won't look good."
Judging from Ah Yan's estimation, if this set of traditional clothing was sold in today's shops, it would cost at least a five-digit custom-made fee.
"Your hair is long enough, right?" Lu Chen crossed his arms at this moment.
"You can also use the jewelry in the counter over there. You're probably the only ones here today."
The young couple was the first pair of customers Lu Chen received today. As long as the current customers did not leave, the store would not bring in the next wave of customers.
"Eh? Lu Chen, you are such a generous shop owner." A Yan exclaimed.
"Let's give it a try. We don't have anything else to do anyway." Zhu Jue looked at Ah Yan. She was obviously very interested and now all she needed was her agreement.
"Thank you, owner. You're welcome."
Ah Yan happily prepared to try on clothes. Even if she couldn't own the beautiful clothes, it was nice to try them on. Once she wore them, she would have owned them temporarily.
As Lu Chen pointed, the two discovered that the noodle shop had expanded in size at some point, and a wooden door with a "fitting room" sign on it was nearby.
Ah Yan was still thinking about how to take the clothes off the model when he saw Lu Chen clapping his hands, and the goose yellow dress on the model disappeared.
He looked at A Yan, "Please go into the fitting room. Your makeup box will be delivered. This is a ladies' fitting room. Gentlemen are not allowed." Lu Chen looked at Zhu Jue.
"If you don't mind, let's have a cup of tea together." Zhu Jue nodded calmly.
Lu Chen looked at this handsome guy who seemed somewhat silent and sat down so calmly, and took a sip of the tea brewed by Lu Chen.
The handsome guy was silent.
"What? Not to your taste? I'll change it." Lu Chen was in a good mood today.
This tea was brought back by him from the ancient dimension. Lu Chen was sure that it tasted very good. Even a tea novice like him could taste its goodness. However, his tea-making skills were not very good.
"It suits my taste." Zhu Jue said.
"Mind if I take a dip?"
It stands to reason that one should be merciful to those who eat from others, but Zhu felt a little bit reluctant to see such good tea being wasted.
"You can? Okay, that saves me some trouble." Lu Chen didn't mind.
"Excuse me, where is the restroom?" Zhu Jue asked.
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, snapped his fingers, and another door appeared: "Go ahead."
Zhu Jue opened the door and walked in, without any expression on his face.
This made Lu Chen, who was watching him enter, feel inexplicably unhappy.
Brother, how come you two are so calm?
Zhu Jue went to wash his hands. When he walked out of the door, his hands felt extremely dry. At this time, A Yan also walked out of the fitting room.
She wore a goose yellow dress and tied her hair into a simple bun. She only chose two pieces of jewelry and touched up her makeup with the powder and lipstick in her small bag.
There was a glint of something strange in Lu Chen's eyes. If he hadn't just returned from the Great Zhou Dynasty and knew that this was a live customer in his shop, he might have mistaken this person for a "destined person" from the Zhou Dynasty.
Ah Yan had a smile on her face, her eyes sparkling, and she carefully lifted her skirt and spun around in front of Jue Jue.
“Does it look good?”
A Yan was very happy.
"No one is prettier than you." Zhu Jue spoke, with her in his eyes and nothing else.
Lu Chen hugged his arms silently at this moment. He felt that he might have done something wrong. Were these two really showing their affection in front of him on purpose?
Why do I suddenly feel like I am the outsider in this store?
The three of them sat in front of the ancient table, and Zhu Jue used a covered bowl to make the third cup of tea.
Ah Yan carefully held the porcelain cup in her hand, poured hot tea, and the bottom of the cup cracked instantly, which was quite beautiful. Her hand holding the cup was a little stiff, and she suddenly didn't dare to drink it. If the teacup in her hand came from the kiln she thought of, she suddenly felt that her hand was heavy, and she couldn't afford to drop it if she accidentally dropped it.
Wearing beautiful clothes and taking beautiful photos are essential.
Photography and video recording are strictly prohibited in the Plane Convenience Store to avoid exposing things that should not be exposed, but at this moment, facing the two eager eyes looking at him, Lu Chen acquiesced.
After all, it was he who allowed the young couple to stay and try on clothes and take pictures. A piece of clothing would not reveal anything. There are so many stores selling traditional clothes now. At first glance, the current merchandise in the store is a collection store with a classical style. It seems like a rip-off to sell so many messy things. There is no harm in taking pictures.
Ayan and Juejue quickly took a few photos at the tea table and then changed their clothes. It's not that they didn't want to wear them for a while longer, but Ayan knew that he was a little careless. Food would get on his body when he ate, and he sometimes didn't pay attention to details when he put on clothes. If he was not careful, he might dirty his clothes or get them pulled.
At the tea table, Ah Yan continued to drink the ancient tree tea. The aroma of the tea in her mouth was even stronger than the tea from the century-old tea tree she had drunk before. Considering that this was a new product that Lu Chen had launched, she didn't know what price to sell this tea for.
"Is this tea for sale?" Ah Yan asked.
This time, there were many new things in the plane canteen, many of which she and I thought we could use, which was very exciting.
Not long ago, they had just stocked up on pens, ink, paper and inkstones from Uncle Panxitang in Antique Street, and the quality of the items sold in the canteen in front of them was also good.
The double-sided embroidered handkerchiefs and the jewelry with rare craftsmanship are so attractive that everyone can't wait to buy some and take them home.
"Tea?" The owner Lu Chen was a little surprised.
This tea was a small gift from a guest he received in the ancient dimension, who looked like no ordinary person.
The man was very generous. If Lu Chen had not set a purchase limit, he would have almost cleared out all the small items on the counter.
When linking the accounts, this person also used gold leaves and gold ingots, and also had a large amount of banknotes on him.
The man gave Lu Chen several kinds of tea, but he had no intention of selling any of them.
But looking at the appearance of this young couple, it is obvious that they know what is good.
"I'm keeping this for myself and I'm not selling it." Lu Chen said.
To be honest, he really didn't know how to price this tea. The man didn't tell him the origin of the tea, as if he was sure that he knew it. Naturally, Lu Chen himself couldn't ask about it for fear of being exposed.
Therefore, until now he only knew that this was good tea, but he had no idea how good it was.
Lu Chen looked at the couple's expectant expressions and suddenly felt disappointed. He slowly said, "But if you want, I'll give you some if you spend money today. Just think of it as a gift to a friend."
The tea that the boy in the little couple brewed after taking the tea set from him was obviously much better than the one he brewed himself.
Lu Chen didn’t understand the reason. The tea set, water and tea were all the same, but why was the tea brewed by others so much higher in comparison than his?
Hearing this, he saw the young lovers' eyes light up instantly.
Ayan and Zhujue have been drinking tea with their elders since they were young, from Wuyi rock tea, Anxi Tieguanyin, Fuding white tea, to Mingqian Longjing, and also from unknown barren mountains and ancient trees, as well as the tea mountains of their elders and friends in the mountains, and their own roasted tea...
The two of them didn't dare to say how high their level of appreciation was, and the tea they had tasted might not be that good, but the tongue was very sensitive to tea.
This tea has a rich aroma and a lingering sweet aftertaste. To put it simply, it is "delicious". It is very delicious.
After drinking tea, Ayan and Zhu Jue started shopping in the canteen.
Funds are limited, and considering that they may need money again in the future, it is impossible for two people to overdraw their savings at once. They can only choose carefully and choose what they want most.
Ayan chose a double-sided embroidered handkerchief, which she planned to make into a fan, perfect for going out with her traditional Chinese clothing.
A pair of black glazed teacups, very beautiful. Various high-quality handmade green and blue stone pigments, pure handmade treasures from the ancients.
I bought less this time, but the price was much higher than last time.
In addition to the interstellar snacks they brought to restock, they also bought some tea from the plane canteen as a gift from the store owner. Ayan and Zhu Jue had a fruitful harvest.
But they had just arrived at the beach not long ago, and it would be a bit troublesome if they continued to stroll around the beach after buying so many things.
Is this trip to the beach really in vain? We haven’t even been strolling around for long!
"Lu Chen, if we leave the goods here, is it possible for us to go out and play for a while and then come back? Will the door still be there? Or can you open a random door and flash these goods to our school? Or I can make a phone call and you can open the door in front of me."
Ah Yan thought about it and suddenly felt that this magic door was simply a magic weapon for couriers and delivery guys. It flashed in the blink of an eye.
Because the time in the plane grocery store is stagnant, although they have stayed there for a long time, the time in the outside world has not actually changed. Ayan and Juejue still have plenty of time to stroll by the beach.
Shop owner Lu Chen:?
Are you two too familiar with each other?
"We just arrived at the beach, it might be inconvenient to bring things with us." Zhu Jue added.
After hearing this, Lu Chen understood.
The two of them came out to have fun, and after buying things they wanted to continue playing.
He looked at the two people as if he was looking at some rare animals.
Customers who can buy things in his own store wish they could go directly home through the magic door.
These two really thought they were just going out to have fun and do some shopping. They even had to deposit their stuff and leave after they were done playing.
The corners of his mouth twitched. "Once the wooden door is opened, you won't be back for a short time. I have the location of your last departure. This time I'll make special arrangements for you. When you appear nearby, the door will automatically sense it and open for you to take the goods."
The last location... Ah Yan thought about it. Last month they bought snacks and went straight back to school, so the location was the school path. The specific location was naturally the bench where she and Jue Jue often sat.
"Great, thank you!"
Ah Yan was smiling and happy at the moment. This way he could have fun and all he had to do was pick up the goods when he returned to school.
The two waved goodbye, left through the wooden door, and returned to the cobblestone path by the sea.
Zhu Jue raised his left hand at this moment, and the watch hands that had been stagnant for a long time started to move again.
No one noticed that they had disappeared for a moment.
"The technology in the canteen bathroom was much more advanced than it is now," said Zhu Jue.
He had a strange look on his face, as he had just gone to wash his hands to make some tea, but the hand-washing device alone was automatically flushing, with foamy water spraying in all directions for cleaning.
How should I put it? It's hard to describe the feeling of a robot suddenly extending from a basin to wash your hands and even massage them.
This made Zhu feel like he was not washing his hands, but rather like an object being processed, and there were several steps that he could not understand at all.
Ah Yan opened his mouth as he listened to Rue Rue's narration, "It's so advanced, if I had known earlier I would have gone to take a look."
This sink definitely feels like it came from the stars!
The two discussed the latest changes in the plane canteen, and of course did not forget the main place they went out to play today.
Facing the sea, embracing the blue sky, two people walk along the coastal path and feel the sea breeze. They don’t have to do anything, just being with each other is beautiful enough.
The beach was quite far away, so Ayan and Zhu Jue took a stroll for over an hour and had a meal. Feeling the violent sea breeze, they set out on their way back to school.
...
As a host of the Star Live Room, Ye Pingan successfully survived for a month.
He has been to the tourist spots, shopping malls, and larger parks near the school, but he really doesn't want to continue going out. Early winter is approaching, so he might as well hang out for a while.
However, due to his long-term passive resistance, the Star Live Room gave him a warning, requiring him to appropriately meet the requests of the live room audience.
Ye Ping'an, the host who usually doesn't interact with the audience in the live broadcast room, held a vote reluctantly.
The audience in the live broadcast room votes to nominate the place where they want the anchor to go live.
Ye Pingan originally thought that these interstellar spectators would take this opportunity to expose him and make some very high demands.
For example, the glorious ancient blue planet XXX building in the interstellar era records, and something in the interstellar textbooks.
What he didn't expect was that so many viewers voted for him to broadcast the "new map of the school where I got gangbanged last time".
It’s close and you don’t have to go out. This requirement is simply too simple.
Therefore, Ye Ping'an slept until noon, had brunch, and played a few games before leisurely going out.
He still didn't speak during his live broadcast, but the title of today's live broadcast was [Vote for the most wanted place to see - Blue Star High School Trail]
[The host is finally here again. This map should have been restored and constructed, right? ]
[Hahahaha, it has been built a long time ago, but last time other staff were eating snacks and dressing up, which made me laugh to death. ]
[Am I the only one who is curious about whether the host is from the Ancient Blue Star Ruins Restoration Association? Such a big investment, how many hundreds of millions of Star Alliance coins did he invest? ]
Ye Ping'an closed his eyes and yawned, then when he opened his eyes again he suddenly saw someone in front of him.
You two look so familiar. Why are you here again?
At this moment, Ye Ping'an suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
According to his previous speculation, could it be that the two of them were here to monitor his live broadcast?
He quickly hid behind a tree and blocked the camera. He saw the young couple suddenly stretched out their hands, and suddenly a wooden door appeared in front of them. The two of them stretched out their hands and took out a bag from the door. No one knew what was inside.
After taking the things, the wooden door disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Ye Ping'an's pupils shrank. Is this... the legendary time-space portal?
Zhu Jue and A Yan, are they using the space door to collect supplies?!
