There are no supermarkets in the outer city, only small grocery stores. Due to the economic level and simple folk customs of the outer city, putting up shelves for random items may lead to zero-dollar purchases.
Qin Jiandan has never been to a supermarket before, but he is not unfamiliar with supermarkets that often appear in old movies.
There is no essential difference between the supermarkets in Huanshi City and the Earth Age, except that the staff's clothes are thicker and use bulletproof fibers and fireproof materials to resist various unexpected attacks. Cashiers are also shackled behind the counter to prevent them from leaving their posts.
The supermarket staff pretended to smile and bowed their heads to say hello to every customer who passed by. Qin Jiandan heard that the camera on the ceiling would calculate the angle at which the staff bowed their heads. If the angle was not up to standard, wages would be deducted.
After Mu Yue entered the supermarket, she went straight to the women's aisle to choose sanitary products. She also showed an attitude of not allowing strangers to enter, obviously not welcoming Qin Jiandan and Valei to follow.
Qin Jiandan and Valei had to stand a little further away and wait for Mu Yue to pick something. Qin Jiandan whispered:
"I heard from Tom Chen that Mu Yue was very violent when she came to arrest him. He shot through two door locks in a row. Does it have something to do with her period?"
Valei shrugged: "The Furui people's period is not the same as the human period, so I don't have sanitary products to lend to Mu Yue. Mu Yue has to buy them herself."
After a pause, the expression of the white-haired and black-skinned dog-eared lady became gloating:
"Little Muyue is on her period. Even if your proposal succeeds, you won't be able to sleep tonight. Are you feeling disappointed?"
Qin Jiandan expressed disdain for Valei's low quality:
"I said what I want to capture is Mu Yue's heart! As long as Mu Yue accepts my proposal and lets me kiss her, I will earn it!"
Valei was a little disappointed that she failed to dampen Qin Jiandan's enthusiasm. She suddenly changed the topic:
"Jiandan, is this your first time coming to a supermarket in the inner city? How do you feel about it?"
Although he saw strange phenomena such as the staff's feet being shackled, Qin Jiandan, who was ready to propose, still subconsciously replied:
“It’s not bad in the supermarket.”
Valei put her hand above the dog's ear, as if she didn't hear the answer clearly, looked at Qin Jiandan, and asked again with a smile:
"What do you think of the supermarket?"
Only then did Qin Jiandan realize that Valei was making fun of him. He wanted to deduct money for the homophonic joke. He really should deduct the salary of this perverted dog for this.
So Qin Jiandan replied lukewarmly: "I always think it should be more interesting in the supermarket."
Mu Yue didn't know that Qin Jiandan and Valei had a "heart-to-heart" relationship there. She bought more sanitary products than she could use, and only after her hands were full did she realize that she didn't push the shopping cart.
Qin Jiandan pushed the shopping cart over with a flattering look on his face. Mu Yue put the sanitary products in the shopping cart, but still did not take the initiative to talk to Qin Jiandan.
The group of people began to move towards the beverage shelves. Mu Yue had something on her mind and walked slower and slower. Qin Jiandan and Valei were also happy to hang out with their lovers.
Passing by the frozen food section, Qin Jiandan was curious to find the 100% chicken cell animal puree used in Lao Wang Fried Chicken Restaurant, but what was in front of the freezer was all formed cold meat, and there was no trace of the animal puree at the moment.
A hanging TV above the freezer plays advertisements repeatedly:
"? Didi da la la ~ "Taimei" brand black-footed broiler chickens are scientifically fed, with delicious meat, unique, and a noble choice from vertical farms! "
On the screen, there is a cartoon black-footed broiler playing basketball. It dribbled past NBA stars based on "Jordan" and "Kobe", and performed an extreme dunk amidst the cheers of the audience!
Not to mention, this chicken is quite cute. Since the company banned the creation of new animation works, many children fell in love with the black-footed chicken in the advertisement and nicknamed it "Little Blackfoot." Zhu Shengzhi once produced inferior figures of Little Blackfoot and made a fortune by selling them to the inner city.
If Qin Jiandan has any fondness for Little Blackfoot, he can only say that he has eaten inner city fried chicken made from Blackfoot broiler.
How can I put it, the meat quality is indeed more layered than animal puree, but the fried chicken masters in the inner city lack Lao Wang's quality of excellence, and are not as good as Lao Wang in terms of control of heat and salt distribution.
"Let's go!" Valei greeted Qin Jiandan who paused:
"Are you a three-year-old child? What's so good about advertising animations!"
After being reminded, Qin Jiandan pushed the shopping cart and followed.
Valle, you don’t understand my love for fried chicken... ingredients. When I unify the Stone City and let Lao Wang use Blackfoot Broiler Fried Chicken for everyone to eat every day, you will understand why I stopped here today!
There are indeed many strange things in the inner city supermarket. When Qin Jiandan followed the team to the deli shelves, he saw "peeled and vacuum-sealed bananas" on the road.
The three of them approached a sushi window. The picker behind the window did not have shackles on his feet because he had to walk back and forth. But the window itself was sealed to him, and if he wanted to go to the toilet, he had to call the intercom to ask for permission from his superiors.
Mu Yue seemed to see her own embarrassment in the picker's predicament, and she spoke slowly:
"Sword Pill..."
The picker immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, we don't sell omelettes here. Can we do tamagoyaki sushi?"
Qin Jiandan never expected that his name would also be used as a homophonic joke. He glared at the picker, who did not dare to speak.
Leaving the sushi display window, Qin Jiandan gradually pushed the shopping cart and walked side by side with Mu Yue. Valei trailed a little further behind knowingly, looking left and right, never missing out if there was a tasting event.
Qin Jiandan's plan was to wait for Mu Yue to buy the soda, carry the soda to the trunk of the police car, and then propose in the parking lot while Mu Yue's mood improved.
A parking lot isn't the ideal location, but it's better than a busy supermarket.
Mu Yue, who had no idea about Qin Jiandan's plan, was sighing inwardly because of Xiaoxia's incident. She finally plucked up a little courage:
"Jiandan, do you prefer the inner city or the outer city?"
Qin Jiandan felt that this was a trap question. If Linlin (or a drone) was nearby, answering "I like the inner city" would trigger a "girl nuclear bomb"; if she answered "I like the outer city", she would face Mu Yue's long-awaited questioning.
In just a moment, Qin Jiandan found the safest and closest answer to what he was thinking:
"What I like is you, and it has nothing to do with the inner city and the outer city!"
Qin Jiandan's frequent expressions of love for Mu Yue made her a little embarrassed. Mu Yue originally wanted to ask, "You like the outer city because you like the rules of the outer city." Three or two sentences would lead to the common practice of taking concubines in the outer city.
As a result, Qin Jiandan avoided the trap, and Mu Yue had no choice but to ask another question:
"If you had never met me, who would you most likely marry?"
The trap meaning of this question was even stronger. Qin Jiandan asked himself, if they had never met the police chief, maybe with the strong help of their master, they might marry Linlin in the future.
After all, Qin Jiandan didn't want to make his sister sad. As long as he didn't have a clear goal of liking her, living dependently on Linlin for the rest of his life was not an option.
But now the situation has changed, and such thoughts must not be mentioned to Mu Yue.
There was loneliness in Qin Jiandan's eyes. He had indeed imagined a world where he and Mu Yue had never met:
"I may end up alone like Master, but my martial arts will be improved."
Qin Jiandan said that he would "widow" Mu Yue, which made Mu Yue speechless. She didn't want to take the initiative to bring up the matter of "Xiao Xia" and "concubinage". She wanted Qin Jiandan to mention it so that she could get angry, but Qin Jiandan refused to mention it.
Mu Yue gritted her teeth. She had to say something unbecoming of a police chief:
"You...you can go to whoring without marrying a wife, right? Aren't the related industries of the Luo Ying Group prosperous? Wouldn't they give half the price to the Young Master of the Night Dragon Society?"
"Eh? Mu Yue, who do you think I am!" Qin Jiandan was emotional:
"If I wanted to do that, I would have done it a long time ago. Why would I wait until now? I am not a lower animal. I will not sleep with someone who has no feelings for me!"
This confession is actually a bit watery. Qin Jiandan's attitude is so determined because Linlin has just warned her brother that if he dares to call the chicken, he will film it with a drone and hack into the TV station to broadcast live to the whole city.
Qin Jiandan didn't want Mu Yue and Valei to be eating in the police canteen when "Young Masters of the Night Dragon Club: Dragon of the Night Special" suddenly started playing on the canteen TV.
Mu Yue dug a lot of language traps, but Qin Jiandan jumped over them all without any injuries. Mu Yue suspected that Valei had revealed the question to Qin Jiandan, so she turned around and glared at Valei who was lagging behind.
Valei spread her hands with an innocent look on her face, and Mu Yue silently turned on the "super vision mode" in her right eye.
By analyzing local heat changes on the face surface, the super vision mode can function as a lie detector, but it must be very close to the other person, which has great limitations.
Qin Jiandan did not show any flaws in the polygraph analysis, and he did not lie in the first place. Although he avoided Mu Yue's trap, his answers were consistent with his own wishes every time.
The super vision mode began to consume the sugar in Mu Yue's body. She became even more flustered because she was sure Qin Jiandan was not lying, so she had to take the initiative herself!
"Jiandan, what do you think of Xiaoxia?"
"Xiaoxia," Qin Jiandan smiled bitterly, "This guy has a screw up in his head. If it weren't for Fengjian's assistant, he wouldn't be the leader of the Luo Ying Group."
Mu Yue obviously didn't ask whether Xiao Xia was competent in the guild. She just wanted to know whether Qin Jiandan thought Xiao Xia was attractive.
"She seems to like you."
The hunger caused by the sugar being taken away forced Mu Yue to make a straight shot.
Qin Jiandan showed human calm:
"She just likes my status as a young master and wants to use this to seek benefits for the Luo Ying Group. She doesn't really like me. She will kick me away when I lose power. Instead, I have to guard against the Luo Ying Group's rebellion. .”
There seemed to be a hint of jealousy and resentment in Mu Yue's tone:
"But as long as you remain strong, won't the Luoying Team and Xiaoxia keep bowing to you? She is willing to do anything to gain your favor, but I won't. Some of your absurd dreams can only come true with Xiaoxia. "
Qin Jiandan was planning to propose marriage today. The person he proposed to proposed repeatedly mentioned other women, and he had to express his attitude to dispel Mu Yue's doubts:
"A dream that cannot come true in you means nothing to me! You are the only wife I have in this life!"
It's a pity that such a promise still doesn't reassure Mu Yue. The phenomenon of polygamy in the outer city is very serious, and "one wife" doesn't mean much.
Mu Yue stopped and reached to the top of the shelf to grab something casually to cover up her uneasiness:
"Xiaoxia is quite beautiful. Do you want to try marrying her as a concubine?"
