An 80-gram can of canned beef costs 500 yuan per unit.
A pack of 40 grams of vacuum horse meat jerky costs 300 yuan per unit.
Lu Ping had a total of 1,200 yuan, which he just bought a can of canned beef and two packs of horse meat jerky. The remaining 100 yuan planned to buy 20 portions of synthetic food puree on the way back to keep at home as a regular ration.
The clerk of Liaoyuan Food is a short-haired girl wearing a British-style school uniform. She has a small uniform suit on her upper body, a pleated skirt on her lower body, and a bright logo on her chest that she doesn't know what it is. Even though he is sitting behind the glass counter, his back is still straight, his shoulders are naturally stretched back, and his shoulders and neck form an elegant stretch line. It is easy to see that it is the attitude of a well-educated and well-trained person.
Even though Lupine was dressed in shabby clothes and looked like she was from a poor family, she did not show any disdain and wore a decent smile throughout.
The shopping was quick. After coming out of the food store, Lu Ping stood on the street and couldn't wait to tear open a pack of horse meat jerky and put it in his mouth to chew.
It's dry, salty, hard, and doesn't seem to have any meaty flavor...
This was Lupine's first feeling.
He felt a little strange, but still convinced himself that in today's world, most places are not suitable for the survival of earth creatures. These dried meats are probably produced by some distant farms and transported thousands of miles... In order to facilitate transportation and To extend the shelf life, it is inevitable to make this kind of salty and hard jerky.
But when he swallowed, Lu Ping's expression changed slightly.
[Obtain 17% of the "soybean" gene...]
[Acquire 2.2% of the "potato" gene...]
[Acquire 1.6% of the "mouse" gene...]
Looking at the series of prompts on the interface, Lu Ping frowned deeply.
No horsemeat gene?
He didn't quite believe that there was an error in the game system. In other words, this was not horse jerky at all, but a mixture of soy protein, potato starch and a small amount of mouse meat?
Artificial meat?
Lupine did not eat another piece of "horse meat jerky", but opened the can of beef with a "sizzle". The 80g canned beef contained only about four or five slightly moist cube-shaped pieces of soft meat... He picked up a piece, put it into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.
Lupine also ate beef in his previous life, but this time he tasted nothing.
[Acquired 9.5% of the "soybean" gene...]
[Obtain 3.1% of the "cockroach" gene...]
[Obtain 0.7% of the "black pepper" gene...]
"Ahem..." Lu Ping retched and coughed several times, but he couldn't spit out what he had swallowed.
Lu Ping turned around suddenly and looked at the bright facade of Liaoyuan Food Store, with indignation in his eyes.
"Crash", the store door was pushed open.
The shop assistant girl still looked over with a smile: "Sir, do you need anything else?"
"The two things I just bought from you are not real meat." Lu Ping put the canned beef and horse meat jerky on the counter and pushed them directly in front of her.
"That's impossible," the girl, the clerk, shook her head and laughed without even looking, "Our products are all certified by the food quality department."
"But there is no beef or horse meat in it! This is fraud and I want a full refund."
"The package has been opened and cannot be refunded... Besides, what basis do you have?" The girl in the store shrugged, "If I remember correctly, you just bought it a few minutes ago. Did you just take a few bites? Have you come to a conclusion? Oh, I forgot to remind you that this kind of original high-end food is different from those cheap synthetic food purees. If you are used to the taste of artificial flavors, you will indeed feel like this kind of original food. The taste is slightly off…”
"But this imperfect taste is the essence of original ecological ingredients..."
Looking at the confident and eloquent girl, Lu Ping felt as if he had heard a big joke.
If he was really the Lupine of the past and had never eaten "high-end food" in his life, he might really be deceived by the other party and believe in such rhetoric as "original ingredients have this taste".
But now he knows very well that the other party is just talking nonsense!
Lupine has eaten much more raw food than any upper class person in this world.
"Are you sure you don't want to withdraw? The stuff is still there. If I go for a test, it can be easily proven..." Lu Ping narrowed his eyes.
"Then you can call the police, or go to any institution for testing." The smile of the clerk girl finally disappeared, replaced by a cold and sarcastic expression, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, if it is finally verified that it is your problem , then our store will also pursue you for the reputational damage caused!... I hope you can afford it."
Lupine raised his eyebrows slightly.
According to his character, he was naturally unwilling to give up, but he still suppressed the idea for a second before touching the electronic bracelet.
Because he finally remembered the virtues of the upper class in this world.
The police, various official agencies, and businessmen are all inextricably linked...
Money can make everything go round, but without money it's hard to move forward!
Looking for an agency for testing? Not to mention that the test fee is not a small sum, and even the test results may not be objective and true...
Call the police? That's even more embarrassing. The police officers don't even bother to go to cases where poor people die, let alone such a trivial matter?
If he really calls the police, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a kind of teasing and provocation. At the least, the operator will scold him on the phone, at worst, he will be labeled as disturbing the social order, and it is not impossible to handcuff him directly...
"My thinking still hasn't changed..." Lu Ping sighed secretly.
It is normal to buy fake goods before traveling and ask for a refund or even compensation.
But in this world... Looking at the coldness and anger in the eyes of the shop assistant girl, Lu Ping realized that maybe the other party really thought that the polite smile she gave him at the beginning was already a great "gift", and he If you still dare to come back and ask for a return, you don’t know the heights of the world!
"There's nothing more to say." Lu Ping put away the two items, took a deep look at the store, and then strode away.
Might makes right...since this is the rule of this world.
Then one day, we can use the rules of this world to solve the problem.

After Lupine left, a fat hand patted the clerk girl's shoulder.
"Dad?" The girl turned around and shouted in surprise.
Behind her stood a short, chubby, middle-aged man with a smile, like a naive panda.
"My good daughter, are you angry?" The fat boss smiled and rubbed the girl's head, "Are you offended by that untouchable boy?"
The clerk girl pouted and said nothing.
"My good daughter gave up a comfortable and luxurious life to come to the Lower Tenth District to be with me. How could I let you suffer any more injustice... Don't worry, I will teach that boy a 'profound' lesson." The pudgy boss He tapped on the electronic bracelet and quickly made a call and said a few words.
The girl then smiled.
Both of them quickly put what just happened behind them.
On the street not far away, Lu Ping threw the remaining "high-end food" directly into the trash can, and bought 20 boxes of synthetic food purees of different flavors from a roadside stall, a full 10kg, and used one Carrying the bag.
On the way home, I passed through a dark alley and suddenly noticed five or six shirtless young men with tattoos and strange eyes appearing at the intersection in front of me.
When I turned around... there were several figures behind me holding baseball bats and butterfly knives, slowly approaching with malicious intentions.
"Am I... blocked?" Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat.
He turned out to be a low-key and cowardly boy, with no enemies, and he didn't look like a rich man... He wasn't seeking revenge, nor was he seeking wealth. Most likely, the other party was here for him.
Is it the Liaoyuan Food Store just now?
Or...the group of people in the underground clinic?
Lu Ping's mind was spinning rapidly, and he looked up at the same time.
This is a typical garbage alley, which is very common in the Lower Ten Districts. The original camera has been deliberately smashed by someone who is interested. In such a dark and chaotic place, it is strange that the cameras can remain intact, and the authorities seem to have no intention of wasting money on installing new surveillance cameras in such a place.
