After taking a shower, Lan Yamei ignored everyone's concern and closed the doors and windows tightly before sitting on the bed to carefully recall what had just happened.
Just now, as she was rubbing her hair, pondering to the point of near madness, a sharp sound of metal scraping against metal suddenly echoed in her mind, almost rupturing her eardrums. Although there was no actual sound, it exploded in her mind. In that instant, in the clear sky, a bolt of lightning struck down, connecting the spiritual energy in her mind.
The person had no external injuries, only smoke coming from their head, which is what everyone saw on the stairs.
The moment her spiritual connection was established, the image of that old chain supermarket flashed through her mind. It had everything she needed for food, clothing, and daily necessities, but it was owned by foreigners. Now, every city in China has one, with a membership system that requires a hefty fee of several hundred yuan to even have the right to shop there.
I never imagined I'd end up here; it's utterly unbelievable.
I had come here with great enthusiasm before, but was turned away by the membership system, and in a fit of anger I vowed never to come again.
Unexpectedly, the space I could access was this supermarket.
The place was empty, but the shelves were overflowing with freshly prepared goods. There was no shortage of everything, from hot pot base to egg tarts, roast duck, fruit, and snacks.
Lan Yamei wasn't greedy. She found the condiment section, grabbed a packet of authentic Chongqing extra spicy beef tallow hot pot sauce, and then found a jar of chopped chili sauce before leaving immediately.
When she opened her eyes again, she found two more things in her hands. Lan Ya Mei was practically ecstatic! Good heavens! Time travel really does grant special abilities!
This is absolutely awesome! With this ability, it doesn't matter where you are.
However, the hot pot base is packaged in a plastic bag, and the chopped chili sauce is in a glass jar. These things can't be seen by others; it's hard to explain! The packaging needs to be removed.
Lan Yamei took the tea tray, poured the square hot pot base into the tray, covered it with a handkerchief, poured a jar of roasted chili sauce into the teapot, and put the lid on the teapot.
After glancing around to make sure no one was there, I focused my attention, opened the space again, put the packaging waste inside, and quickly left the space.
No, I'm so hungry, I have to have beef hot pot tonight.
Without further ado, Lan Yamei gently knocked on Zhao Zhicheng's door, which opened quickly, as if she had been waiting.
Without saying a word, they simply hooked their index fingers together and the two of them mysteriously slipped into Lan Yamei's room and closed the door behind them.
As soon as he opened the handkerchief and teapot lid on the table, Zhao Zhicheng's eyes widened. "You succeeded?"
"It's a success! How about hot pot tonight?" Lan Yamei really wanted to eat it.
"Absolutely! What should I do?" Zhao Zhicheng was also excited. He decided to try his best to attract heavenly lightning tomorrow so that he could also possess this magical ability.
"You wait in the room, I'll go downstairs to get the pot and charcoal stove." With that, she strode downstairs.
The residents of Longyang Town go to bed quite early, which translates to around 8 p.m. in modern time.
Downstairs, the customers, having finished their meal, greeted each other and went home one after another.
The workers quickly packed up and put things away, preparing to close up shop and go home. Er Gou and his wife took off their aprons and came out of the kitchen, also getting ready to return to their village.
Lan Yamei said to Er Gou and his wife, "Take two pounds of the cooked beef and give it to the children at home."
The two men rubbed their hands together, politely declining, "Manager Lan, we work here and are provided with food and drink, and we earn so much money. How could we possibly take anything from the shop to feed our children at home? Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"
Lan Ya Mei was too lazy to refuse, so she grabbed two large pieces, wrapped them in oil paper, and stuffed them into his hand. "You have a long way to go, so let's set off now."
The couple were extremely grateful. The two pieces of beef weighed more than three pounds. They thought the boss was very generous, which strengthened their resolve to work hard.
As for the few acres of barren land in the village, they will harvest as much grain as they can, but they don't expect to eat from it.
Lan Yamei didn't show favoritism and packed more than two catties of cooked beef for Tie Niu and his six brothers.
The burly, dark-skinned men were quite embarrassed. In the past, they had robbed and plundered, and their families had turned a blind eye, making a living in poverty. Now, they had respectable jobs, ate and drank well, received good wages, and even got beef. They all felt like they had fallen into a paradise and went home happily.
The accountant, having sorted out the accounts, tidied up the ledgers, covered the inkstone, hung up the brush, and prepared to leave work.
He'd only been working there for three days and knew his limitations. So when everyone was getting beef, he didn't join in.
*Snap!* A bag of beef was placed on the counter. Lan Yamei smiled and said, "My husband has some too. Take it home for the kids as a snack."
The accountant paused, a barely perceptible hint of emotion flashing in his eyes, and said softly, "Thank you, shopkeeper. I'll head back now."
After saying that, he nodded politely, took the beef, and walked out.
Iron Head, who was hiding not far from the shop, followed them under the cover of night.
After closing the door, Lan Yamei went straight to the kitchen. She carried a pot and a glowing charcoal stove. Wang Fengyang, puzzled, scratched the back of his head and asked, "Sister Lan, are you hungry? I'll make you some wontons?"
Eager to eat hotpot, Lan Yamei dismissed everyone, forgetting about the little boy in the shop. She turned around abruptly, forcing a smile, and said, "Oh right, the Murong family gave me a dart throwing manual. I can lend it to you to take a look, do you want?"
Upon hearing about the secrets of darts, Wang Fengyang immediately forgot everything and jumped up and down excitedly, "Really?"
Lan Yamei took it out from her bosom and tossed it to him, saying, "I'll lend it to you for three days. How much you learn depends on fate."
Upon receiving the book, Wang Fengyang immediately rushed upstairs, closed the door, and began to study diligently.
It's not that I don't want to take him out for hot pot, it's just that I can't explain it. The hot pot ingredients are all square and neat, and there might even be sliced beef, chicken feet, and kidney slices. It would be hard to explain.
With their mouths watering, Lan Yamei quickly returned to her room, and the two of them excitedly set up a pot and began to stir-fry the ingredients.
