According to general logic, if a person suddenly comes to a different world, where the rules are different and everything has not been seen before, he will usually have an unreal feeling like a dream, and then slowly start to accept the reality. But Twenty-Seven is just the opposite - with extraordinary calmness, he immediately accepted everything around him as soon as he woke up. And now, as the day and night passed, he began to feel a little unreal and ethereal.
Until the beauty across the table took a chopstick of meat from the red pot and put it on his plate: "Try this, fat beef."
Having tasted the best chili peppers in the world at noon, Twenty-Seven felt that he could bear it. As for why half of the red soup in the Yuanyang Pot was so red, he did not think deeply about it because there were too many spices in it that he had never seen or understood.
So out of politeness, he stuffed the piece of fat beef that Ruan Qing gave him into his mouth.
The next second, Twenty-seven's expression became very exciting.
How could the ancients imagine that the spicy dish at noon was just a way to explore. It turns out that "spicy" things can be so spicy that they kill people.
Ruan Qing quickly pushed the ice coke over: "Here you go!"
Twenty-seven didn't say anything, and just took a big mouthful, and then another big mouthful, and another big mouthful. The burning feeling was finally suppressed.
He glanced at the Coke in his hand, it was a magical antidote to spicy food!
Looking at Ruan Qing again, Ruan Qing was suppressing a smile.
Ruan Qing reminded him: "It's the opposite."
This woman is beautiful, but she is also naughty and bad.
"Two, seven, one?" Twenty-seven followed suit this time, "Two hundred and seventy-one?"
When the excitement subsided, Twenty-Seven raised his eyebrows: "Miss Ruan, don't you want to take a bite?"
"Just call me Ruan Qing." Ruan Qing smiled broadly, "Don't be so outspoken."
Twenty-seven put away the phone and thought, one thousand yuan is a lot to spend, and this much is spent on just one meal.
WeChat wallet balance: 729 yuan.
In front of twenty-seven, she took a chopstick of fat beef in red soup and put it into her mouth. She chewed it briefly and swallowed it. Then she took a small sip of Coke and looked at twenty-seven with a smile.
Although it didn't stop Ruan Qing from eating the red soup pot, the rice combination was not good enough, and the taste was not satisfying enough.
When eating hot pot, you have to eat it with rice like this to make it delicious!
After finishing eating, Ruan Qing said, "You pay the bill, using the QR code."
Twenty-seven called up the payment code under her guidance. The waiter scanned it with the code scanner and paid with a beep.
He also thought that the meal just now was quite luxurious. The decoration, environment, and store staff were all very dark and elegant, not to mention that almost everything on the menu was meat, and the desserts and fruits after the meal were all things he had never seen before.
Ruan Qing added the quantifier: "RMB. 271 yuan, or 271 yuan."
"It's just so-so." Ruan Qing pretended to be modest, "Nothing is too hot or too spicy."
She also taught him her experience: "Just eat more. The more you eat, the more spicy you can eat."
She was actually very happy. Because Zhao Hao can't eat spicy food and is very timid. Every time he goes out to eat, he always makes white soup. Occasionally, chopsticks will be used to pick up pieces of meat from the white soup, and they will be gently rinsed in the red soup to satisfy the taste.
Twenty-seven had to bow his head: "I'm willing to admit defeat."
But she saw that although Twenty-Seven was an ancient man, he had the potential to eat spicy food!
"Come on!" She encouraged him.
But I thought maybe it was just occasionally, maybe because Ruan Qing wanted to entertain him.
Twenty-seven lived up to her expectations. Although he inhaled frequently and drank Coke in large swigs, he took down his chopsticks faster and faster.
Twenty-seven looked at the display on the phone interface: "One...seven...two?"
After eating, Ruan Qing said, "I'll take you to the supermarket now."
It’s a new word again, so naturally Twenty-Seven has to ask: “What… what is a supermarket?”
"It's the abbreviation of 'supermarket'." Ruan Qing said.
In fact, it did not solve Twenty-Seven's confusion, because the word "super" in Twenty-Seven's era meant leapfrogging or leapfrogging.
So what is a supermarket? Is it a market that only the rich can visit
With confusion, Twenty-Seven was taken to the B1 floor of the mall by Ruan Qing.
Twenty-seven quickly intuitively understood what a "supermarket" was.
"This supermarket is not the largest in Jiangcheng, but it is the largest in the urban area." Ruan Qing said, "There are larger warehouse-type supermarkets in the suburbs. Everything is packaged in large items. Even the soybean curd comes in three bottles per pack."
But the largest supermarket in the urban area was enough to shock the ancients.
The richness of items and the dazzling array of shelves have never been seen before.
Twenty-seven stayed for a long time before letting out a long breath.
Ruan Qing teased him: "How do you feel, senior?"
"The prosperous age." Twenty-seven said with certainty, "It must be a peaceful and prosperous age now, right?"
Ruan Qing must praise: "Incisive."
"You have come to a good time." Ruan Qing told him, "If you had gone forward eighty, ninety or one hundred years, it would have been miserable, and there would have been a war. No, no, it would not have been like this four or fifty years ago. Well, it’s all developed over the years.”
She took out a shopping cart and handed it to Twenty-Seven easily: "Actually, now that we have the Internet, you don't need to go to the supermarket in person to buy things. The main purpose of coming here today is to let you know about the prices and the price level of a place. , I probably have an idea of my future life.”
Twenty-seven took the shopping cart easily, and the two shoe bags were placed inside it, which was very convenient. He found many small details here to be so convenient and pleasant.
Hearing Ruan Qing's words, he suddenly realized: "No wonder you rushed to teach me how to read numbers before going out." "If you don't learn Arabic numerals, you can't even press the elevator button." Ruan Qing checked the shopping cart and pointed in the direction, "Let's go , start shopping here.”
The ancients were really eye-opening this time.
The abundance of items is incredible.
In the same market, you can buy all kinds of food, clothing and supplies. Twenty-seven even saw a TV.
And for the same type of goods, there are a huge variety of optional products. The category "beverages" alone occupies four rows of shelves. Snacks are classified more carefully and occupy more shelves. "Chocolate" alone occupies a whole row.
Ruan Qing skillfully took two boxes and threw them into the shopping cart.
The box looked familiar. It was exactly what Twenty-Seven had eaten this morning while watching TV alone at home.
Nianqi has been looking at prices all the way. He will no longer make the mistake of turning left and right, and he is already familiar with Arabic numerals. A quick glance at the price tag revealed that what Ruan Qing picked up was the most expensive one in the row.
He looked up and asked strangely: "Imported? Why is it specially marked as imported? Isn't it eaten by mouth?"
Ruan Qing chuckled: "The port refers to the port, and the import means that it is sold from other countries to our country. It is called import. If our country's goods are shipped out and sold to other countries, it is called export."
So that’s it. Twenty-seven asked again: “Is imported stuff more expensive than local stuff?”
"The observation is very careful." Ruan Qing praised him, "Generally speaking, the products we import from foreign countries are of relatively good quality. In addition, there are tariffs, so the price will be expensive."
Twenty-seven nodded.
She followed Ruan Qing while pushing the cart and observed silently. It soon became apparent that Ruan Qing liked to buy imported things, or even if they were not imported, the things she threw into the shopping cart were often the most expensive or even the most expensive ones on the shelf. The more expensive one.
It is not difficult to see that this woman is not stingy with money and likes to enjoy life.
Ruan Qing didn't buy anything big. She said, "It's too troublesome to carry it back. I can just buy it online and have it delivered to my home."
Most of what she threw into the car was snacks.
But Twenty-Seven saw that there were people selling vegetables and meat in the supermarket, and he asked: "Can I also buy vegetables 'online'?"
"Okay, they will be delivered directly to your home." Ruan Qing said.
"Then it's time to buy some food." Twenty-seven reminded her, "I think there is nothing left at home."
If you don’t buy it today, you may not have anything to cook tomorrow.
Ruan Qing was walking in front. Hearing this, he turned around and asked him, "Did you see me making breakfast this morning?"
Seeing it, using some kitchen appliances that he had never seen before, a quick breakfast was ready in a few minutes, although it tasted weird.
Twenty-seven was about to give a polite compliment when Ruan Qing continued, "That's all my cooking skills."
Twenty-seven: "..."
The words of praise came to a sudden stop on his lips.
Ruan Qing admitted honestly: "I only know how to bake toast, fry eggs, bacon, and oh, I can also cook noodles."
Other than that, no more.
Twenty-seven asked in surprise: "What about eating on weekdays?"
"Although my job doesn't require me to work, I'm not at home every day. When I'm out, I eat out," Ruan Qing said. "When I'm at home, I order takeout. Just like at noon."
Twenty-seven asked: "How much does it cost for us to have a meal for lunch?"
Ruan Qing took out his phone and glanced at the order at noon: "175."
According to her level of spending, one thousand yuan is really something she can't help but spend.
"You don't have to worry about money." Ruan Qing comforted him, "I will take care of your life until you can become independent."
It can be seen that she seems to be very profitable, and she even raised Zhao Hao before. But Twenty-Seven pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I know a lot about cooking. Since I have kitchen pots and pans at home, why not let me try it?"
"Eh?" It was Ruan Qing's turn to be surprised at last, "Isn't he a gentleman who is far from the kitchen?"
"I am a man who works hard for a living, so what kind of gentleman can I be? A scholar is a gentleman." Twenty-seven laughed and explained, "It's very uncomfortable when you are traveling outside and only eat dry food. If you want to eat something hot in the wilderness, you have to do it yourself. Make a fire and cook."
"Is that okay?" Ruan Qing was doubtful.
Night clothes, a bloody long knife, and a handsome face. If he made his debut, he would be able to play the villain as the second male lead in an ancient puppet show. He said he could cook, but Ruan Qing was skeptical.
"There must be a lot of things I haven't seen or know. But I can learn." Twenty-seven said, "Sooner or later I have to learn how to use the kitchen. Even if I leave you in the future, I may not be able to afford takeout every time. Is there anyone here? Can everyone have takeout?"
Driving all the way, he saw roadside stalls on the roadside. It was obviously dirty and messy, and some people bought food and ate it standing on the roadside.
Of course, he is not as calm as Ruan Qing sitting in a dark restaurant ordering food, which shows that even in the prosperous times, people are still divided into rich and poor. Twenty-seven doesn’t believe that in a thousand years everyone will be able to afford takeout like Ruan Qing.
"That's not true..." Ruan Qing held her face and thought for a moment before being convinced, "What you said makes sense. Let's go buy some food."
They bought vegetables and meat, and finally, Nian Qi reminded Ruan Qing: "Chili, don't forget to buy chili."
