Save the Family Doctor (XI)
Following the system navigation, we soon arrived at the pig trotter shop.
Jiang Yuanshi looked up, pointed at the doorplate and asked the system snake: "How did you know it was a pig's trotter shop?"
It says [xxx Fan Store] on it.
Z01 looked at the host and replied in his mind, "My navigation shows that this restaurant sells pork trotter rice."
Jiang Yuanshi took out his phone, frowned and tapped the screen, then held the screen in front of the snake and said, "Look, even my map and food delivery app are stickers."
At first, I thought it was a bug because it couldn’t be opened no matter how hard I clicked. Who knew I could download it back from the App Store after deleting it? But there is only one map and food delivery app in the store, so it saves a lot of money.
Jiang Yuanshi sighed. If takeout was available, he wouldn’t want to go out at all. He would be so sleepy.
He opened the door of the shop, and the scene inside made his eyes go dark again. In the blank space stood a figure in an apron, probably the boss.
"Can we still eat like this?"
“…Not sure.” Z01 didn’t expect the department to save money to the point of not even selling meals.
Jiang Yuanshi stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, do you sell food here?"
“…”
As expected, there was no reply. Jiang Yuanshi did not stay, but just thanked the humanoid and turned away.
After closing the shop door, Jiang Yuanshi stood there, looking up and thinking about something. Z01: "Host, do you want to go to other shops?"
Jiang Yuanshi shook his head and said, "No need."
"But you need to eat."
"Indeed, but it's not me, it should be this body." Jiang Yuanshi subconsciously tapped the snake's head with his hand, "System, is there anything or any place that Jiang Shi has eaten in the plot, or any place that the protagonists have eaten in the past."
"The original novel simply mentioned that Jiang Shi pays attention to health and will buy food and cook for himself in his spare time. The place where the two protagonists can eat and where the incident happened is - a supermarket."
Jiang Yuanshi sighed and fumbled with his fingertips: "Then let's go to the supermarket and have a look. There should be a model of the place where it happened."
"Okay, I'll guide you there."
"How long will it take?"
"Don't you want to leave?" Z01 asked. Jiang Yuanshi answered sincerely, "Not really. Everything here looks the same. I feel like I'll never be able to leave in this lifetime."
"Okay, please stand still and don't move."
"And then you go buy me some oranges?"
"I will apply to open any door for you."
"Oh, sorry for saying that."
"We are not father and son, or do you really want to eat oranges?"
Jiang Yuanshi's stomach was empty, and he said in a carefree manner: "If you take me home now and give me some delicious food, I will call you daddy right away."
Z01: "It's a pity that I can't do that. I can't be your father."
Jiang Yuanshi: I give in.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Jiang Yuanshi felt that the system had been corrupted by him. The black and red little snake tilted its head slightly. Jiang Yuanshi rubbed the snake's head. A door appeared in front of him. Jiang Yuanshi stretched out his hand to open it. The layout of the supermarket inside the door came into view. It seemed that it existed.
Jiang Yuanshi walked in.
【Welcome to Fanli Supermarket】
The red banner is hung high, and it is hard not to see it.
"So the supermarket is also owned by the main character."
"In the original novel, most of the city's catering services were taken over by the Fandian Group."
"Okay, as long as we can eat." Jiang Yuanshi pulled a cart into the supermarket. He didn't have time and naturally couldn't tell whether it was a weekday, but there were enough black humanoids in the supermarket. People who were extremely hungry didn't care. They pushed the shopping cart across the snack area. When the shopping cart was mostly filled with snacks, Z01 realized something was wrong, "Host, don't you want to eat?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Yes, I'm buying it."
“But these are snacks.”
"The only thing that fills you up is rice. If you want to make it yourself, I'll buy instant noodles."
“But these are not healthy.”
Jiang Yuanshi was really confused at this moment: "But I'm not very good at cooking."
“Maybe you can buy some vegetables as a reward.” Z01 didn’t expect that there would be a day when he would be fooled, but this situation was indeed unethical in the department.
Jiang Yuanshi pushed the cart towards the vegetable market, picked up some vegetables, winter melon, corn, a few pieces of pork and beef, and a bunch of frozen foods. He also bought a small electric cooker. If he couldn't use fire, he couldn't use electricity.
The cart was pushed into a small mountain. Z01 thought the other party bought too much. Jiang Yuanshi said, "Don't you want to eat?"
After saying this, he was also stunned, "I forgot that the system doesn't need to eat."
Z01 didn't say anything. The black and red snake slithered on Jiang Yuanshi's hand. After a long while, he said, "Excuse me, did you buy any coffee?"
Jiang Yuanshi shook his head subconsciously, "What's wrong?"
The system didn't say anything. The little snake pointed at itself with the tip of its tail. Jiang Yuanshi blinked and said a little late: "You want to drink?"
The little snake nodded.
"Okay, let's go."
Jiang Yuanshi's tone was naturally calm, but he pushed the cart a little faster. The little snake circled on the host's finger, lay its head on the nails, looked up at the other person, looked at the other person's soul through the body, and did not speak for a long time.
Jiang Yuanshi raised his hand and held the little snake in front of the shelf, letting the system choose by itself. The system said nothing but tilted its head towards the row of coffee, occasionally stretching its body and sniffing.
Jiang Yuanshi followed the little snake as it sniffed, and finally picked out a favorite instant coffee. However, just as Jiang Yuanshi took down the shelf, the little snake's gaze passed over his hand, and its vertical pupils stared at a corner. Jiang Yuanshi had never seen the system like this, so he followed its gaze and looked over.
A row of brewed milk tea.
Jiang Yuanshi picked up a set of milk tea and asked, "Do you want to drink this?"
It turns out that snakes can also tell what a frown looks like. After a long analysis, the system said, "This is unhealthy."
Jiang Yuanshi smiled and said, "If you say that, coffee is not healthy either."
"But coffee is stimulating."
"But milk tea is more refreshing. Some milk teas contain more caffeine than coffee. If you don't believe me, search your big data yourself."
Z01 ran to search after hearing this and found that it was indeed the case. Jiang Yuanshi looked at the tangled little snake and put the milk tea directly in the car: "Then I'll take it. This is a mixed pack with every flavor. Do you want anything else?"
The little snake looked up at its host, then looked at the milk tea in the car, and finally shook its head.
It looked very calm and human-like, but the tip of its tail was wagging like a puppy, and it patted the back of Jiang Yuanshi's hand from time to time, obviously liking it very much.
When checking out, one person and one snake divided the work, one took things in the front of the cart, and the other wrapped its tail around the wire of the cart and used its body to carry things up from the back. When the snake was picking up things earlier, the human figures had no reaction to this, so the system showed up to help at the instigation of Jiang Yuanshi.
We are all not human, who is scarier than who?
When checking out, Jiang Yuanshi took out the business card given by Fan Dian, but couldn't use it so he switched to mobile payment. I have to say that this world is outrageous, everything is a sticker, only the payment app is not. If you don't work, you will have no money. It's too realistic.
The humanoid took the gold card and swiped it on the machine.
“Ding, payment successful.”
The humanoid handed Jiang Yuanshi a roll of receipts. Jiang Yuanshi took the long receipt and left the counter with the snake, and stopped in a corner. "System, how do we go back? Continue through the portal?"
"Yes, but you need to wait 5 minutes. It takes time to activate the non-emergency mode."
"Okay, let's go somewhere else. There seem to be other stores on this floor of the supermarket." Jiang Yuanshi got the approval and pushed the cart along the floor. There were many food stalls, and the food handed over to the humanoids was actually physical.
Jiang Yuanshi tried to buy some skewers. After successfully swiping his card, he felt like he had found sweet spring water. He turned around to buy two glasses of lemonade, found an empty table and started eating.
The taste of the food eaten alive, the slightly spicy taste stimulates the tongue, extends to the nerves, and brings a feeling of fullness to the stomach.
Jiang Yuanshi shared some with Z01. He couldn't eat spicy food, so he only ordered slightly spicy. However, the slightly spicy food in this restaurant was obviously not very spicy. The spiciness made the rookie Jiang Yuanshi so spicy that he took a sip of lemonade. When he looked up, he found that Xiaoshe was also holding another cup of water in his mouth, and the water level dropped rapidly.
Great, two noobs.
Jiang Yuanshi hissed, his tongue burning: "System, are you okay?"
The system was silent and just kept making the hissing sound.
The man and the snake finished eating while hissing.
Jiang Yuanshi, who had eaten something, came back to life and teased the system while holding a glass of lemonade: "Didn't you say that the system doesn't eat?"
Z01 wrapped around the straw and said, "No, but you can eat it."
"So what have you eaten?"
"I haven't eaten anything."
"Why? Aren't you curious?"
In fact, Z01 didn’t understand why: “I was curious. Eating could help me input data, but my instinct told me that I didn’t need to eat, so I never tried it.”
"Then why did you break the rules today?"
"I don't know. I haven't analyzed it. Maybe it became the snake's appetite after leaving the space."
Jiang Yuanshi propped his arm on the table and held his chin with one hand. The little snake looked small, but it could still swallow a large piece of meat when it opened its mouth. When it drank water, you could see the movement of its throat. It was magical to Jiang Yuanshi, who had never raised a pet. He asked, "So how does it taste after today's experience?"
"…Not bad." Z01 took a few more sips and said, "The scope can be expanded in the future."
"Good idea, but now I have to go back and pretend to cook." Jiang Yuanshi was a little distressed. His cooking skills were only enough for his own survival. "System, can you cook?"
Z01 shook his head: "I haven't done that."
Jiang Yuanshi: "If you haven't done it before, you can give it a try. Maybe you are a cooking genius. It doesn't hurt to have one more skill."
It's a good idea, but Z01 knows exactly what the host is thinking: "You just want me to cook."
Jiang Yuanshi: "If you want to watch me blow up the kitchen, that's fine, but I'm afraid your department doesn't have enough funds. Then we'll have to sleep on the streets. Oh no, there won't even be any streets. It'll be a blank slate."
..., Z01 imagined the scene, forget it, Ta compromised: "I can cook, but you have to eat, no matter it tastes good or not."
Jiang Yuanshi nodded twice and shook his head, "No, if it tastes good, I can eat it, but if it doesn't taste good, I won't eat it. If I get sick from eating it, I'll have to get treatment. Jiang Shi is the only doctor in this world."
"The reason is valid. I agree."
The man and the snake reached an agreement. Jiang Yuanshi stretched out his hand, and Z01 was puzzled but stretched out his tail. Jiang Yuanshi pinched the snake's tail, and the snake's tail wrapped around his fingertips, shaking up and down - the agreement was reached.
