After a day's work, Heshia ushered in the time to get off work.
"Okay, I've been playing with you all day. Now just stay in the nest." The girl stood in front of a tree branch in the jungle and pressed her hand on the raised white-scaled snake in front of her. .
After speaking, the girl raised her head and looked around. The time was close to 6 o'clock, and the simulated sky above her head slowly turned into blue-purple twilight.
It's time to go back, she thought to herself, but she still took a few steps inside and found the big spider squatting in the box.
The box was temporarily placed by Butisi, and it had a weak effect in helping to gather the Ajika particles. Although it was not strong, it was still effective in helping the big spider to converge the spilled magic power.
After touching this big guy who was in a much better mood, Heshia left the jungle at this time.
She arrived at the dressing room on the 38th floor, changed into her usual clothes, and then left.
On the way home, Hesia thought that today seemed to be Friday, and Lisha would also come to stay with Grandma He.
Let’s buy some delicious food on the way, the girl thought to herself, now it’s not as tight as it used to be.
Passing by the supermarket, she walked into the bright store from the dim street and continued to select and look as usual.
[T6 grade white-lined japonica rice, 6.53 federal coins/500g, T6 grade snow-patterned cabbage, 5.04 federal coins/200g, T6 grade fresh red meat, 22.12 federal coins/500g, T5 grade white strawberry, 39.52 federal coins/200g, T5 grade Snow sugar lychee, 35.06 federal coins/500g, T5 grade yellow jade watermelon, 15.31 federal coins/500g...]
The prices of basic rice and vegetables have not changed much from the past. Some seasonal fruits have begun to appear on the market. The white strawberries she likes have increased a bit more than before. High-quality watermelons are not as expensive as they thought.
After thinking for a few seconds, Heshia decided to buy a box of strawberries and two boxes of lychees, which cost about 162 federal coins. Then she bought a bottle of T6 weak-electricity drink, which cost 15 federal coins.
[Welcome, check out for you now...]
Text is displayed on the AI's display screen, and then the robotic arms on both sides load the bags for Heshia, display the prices one by one, and enter settlement.
[We will charge you a total of 177.37 federal coins. Because you are a long-term customer, we will give you a discount, and finally charge you 162.41 federal coins. ]
"Thank you." The girl stretched out her white wrist, approached the position of the detection chip, and then beeped, the settlement was completed.
In order to retain long-term customers, these small supermarkets often offer certain discounts, ranging from 10% to 95% off.
Returning to the house where Grandma He was, Hesia opened the door and walked in.
"I'm back." She now lives in two houses. Sometimes she comes to Grandma He's place, and sometimes she goes back to her own home. If she doesn't come to Grandma He's place, she will tell her in advance.
"Hexia is off work." Grandma He walked out of the kitchen. She was directing and adjusting the kitchen's automatic AI to cook.
Nowadays, the kitchens of federal residents are equipped with AI machines that automatically cook. However, they will easily get tired of cooking after eating for a long time. People will make temporary adjustments when cooking according to their own preferences, such as adding more or less salt, and frying better. Be more familiar with it and wait, and you will have the fun of DIYing it yourself.
However, some high-end restaurants or hotels still have chefs who personally operate the food, and their extraordinary abilities bring about many changes. Some extraordinary professionals can use special means that machines do not have to process food to make it more unique in flavor.
For example, after the ingredients are cooked and flavored, the moisture in them is instantly dried without letting the ingredients become mushy, making them crispy and delicious. Another example is to make the meat slices extremely thin, control the flame to lick them delicately, and then sprinkle in spices to make the meat slices very thin. Its flavor is excellent, etc. These operations would become very difficult or even impossible if done by machine.
"I'm back. Where's Little Lisa? She should have a day off today."
"She probably still knows how to do it. I heard there are activities at school today." Generally speaking, Friday is a time for intensive activities in elementary schools.
"Then let me help grandma cook first." Hesia walked over.
"It's okay. I'll get it done soon. But you've been working all day and now that you're off work, just watch TV or take a rest." Grandma He said no.
Heshia couldn't resist, so she took out the purchased fruits, washed them, and put them into a glass basket.
Back in the living room, the TV was turned on. Heshia put the glass basket on the table and ate the white strawberries she just bought.
Compared with the T6 standard red strawberry, the T5 white strawberry has an improved taste. The small leaves are also thoughtfully removed before packaging, and can be eaten whole after being washed.
"With the end of June, the corrosiveness of the poisonous rain has weakened, and the northern districts have reopened. As the hot summer vacation approaches, travel has become a hotly discussed topic..." The picture in the news switches between scenic spots, attracting people in front of the TV. audience.
Although traveling across the star field is a better option, considering the economic situation of most federal residents, it is a good choice to be able to travel around several nearby districts.
After preparing the meal, Grandma He also sat down with Hexia and waited patiently for her family to come back.
The time was approaching seven o'clock, and after a sound of the door being opened, a bright conversation sounded outside the door, followed by Lisa's cheerful shout.
"I'm back, grandma~" She came to the living room with brisk steps and found that Heshia was also there today.
"Hello, Sister Heshia~" She jumped into the girl's arms, held Heshia for a while, and then let go.
"Lisa is very happy today. She won third place in the event." Walking in behind was Lisa's mother, He Cheng's sister, He Xiang.
The couple put down their things, put on their shoes, and then came to the living room. Several people talked about Lisha's performance in school, which caused bursts of laughter from time to time. It was around 7:30 before dinner started.
"Didn't He Cheng tell you what time you'll be back?" He Xiang asked about his brother at the dinner table.
"He said he might be late tonight, so we could just leave him a meal."
"It's still so hard, alas." He Xiang shook his head.
Although He Cheng makes good money running a transportation business, it is also very tiring and unstable, unlike her current job in a company.
At that time, Grandma He raised two siblings. Due to the difficult economic situation, only her elder sister He Xiang went to high school, while her younger brother He Cheng started working after graduating from junior high school. During this period, he was rotated several times and tried various professions before finally working in The transportation business has stabilized.
The couple were only low-level employees of the company and could not help He Cheng find a good future. They could only provide some suggestions and help.
Ordinary people's lives don't have so many ups and downs. They are more of boring repetitions. Maybe only the children at home can bring a little laughter.
Heshia watched this scene silently, thinking that if she had the opportunity in the future, she would still like to help Grandma He's family. Unfortunately, she had just graduated and would still have at least a few years to truly enter the society.
Just be patient for a while, you have to grow up quickly, whether it's to help the people around you or to figure out the mysteries left by your parents.
————
In the following week, Heshia officially started the operation of the exclusive bar.
…
"...So, the young man rode on the white dragon and flew to the distant sky, leaving behind the princess who had deceived him and the ignorant and hateful residents."
"There is no more salvation, no more salvation. When darkness comes for the second time, there will be no brave men with sharp swords to cut through the thorns and save this fallen country."
"Tears turned into a sea of lamentation, people drank the consequences of past deceit and shortsightedness, and the crawling monster drowned the entire country and sank into the bitter abyss."
The story slowly ended, the lights in the room slowly turned on, and the girl sitting on the chair like a flower trellis slowly closed the book, and the lingering sound seemed to be lingering in her ears.
There was a burst of applause, although it was not enthusiastic, but there was also a kind of admiration from the heart, feeling that the story was deeply rooted in people's hearts, like falling into a dream.
There were about ten people in the audience in this small library, but half of them were children.
After finishing business for the day, Heshia was surrounded by children asking for signed cards, and the adults behind them also looked at this scene with joy.
"I got Sister Danterian's third signature card!" A child held up the card with the white dragon and boy printed on it, happily.
"I must collect 12 of them and then decorate them." After that, several more children happily ran back to their adults after receiving the cards.
“That’s it for today’s business, thank you everyone for listening~”
In the end, Hesia stood in the library holding the picture book and bowed to everyone, and then the curtain slowly closed.
After waiting for everyone in the small library to finish leaving, Heshia rearranged the scattered tables and chairs, and then waited for the cleaning machine at her feet to automatically clean up the dust and food debris.
Sitting on a high chair, she was about to lean on the back of the chair to take a nap, when a small snake head poked out from behind her.
"Okay, don't disturb me now." Heshia took off the little snake that was caressed by her ear, put it in her arms, and then continued to take a nap with her eyes closed.
Just like that, after taking a nap for about half an hour, the floor, tables and chairs in the library were cleaned by the automatic cleaning machine, and she jumped down from the high chair.
The advantage of having an exclusive bar or business is that after finishing today's work, it is basically free time. Although it is only about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, she no longer has to be busy with other things.
Putting away the picture book in her hand, Heshia returned the cabinet drawer and locked it before walking out of the quiet little library.
"Is it over, Danterian~" Several maids in 'Liu Li Meng' saw Hesia coming out, greeted her with a smile, and then asked about today's business situation.
…
"It's great. Danterian's business is slowly getting back on track. It's a bit like a fairy tale witch, hehehe~" several people said jokingly.
At the beginning, no one expected that Danterian's business would be so popular with children, because most of the people who come to the store are adults.
Perhaps because the adults wanted to sit down and talk, but they couldn't leave their children in an unsafe place, they asked them to come to Danterian's fairy-tale-like library to listen to stories.
Although it was an unintentional move at the beginning, because the effect was so good, some parents later took the initiative to bring their children to listen to stories.
"How should I put it? Adults also have a lot of troubles, but many of them cannot be explained clearly. They can only look for occasional relaxation or some kind of enlightenment and relief."
The same fairy tale may be just a fun and interesting story in the eyes of children, but to adults, they can vaguely sense the meaning and comfort behind the story, and each can appreciate different beauty.
"Besides, Danterian's small promotions are also good." A maid said jokingly.
In order to attract long-term customers, Heshia also prepared a set of postcards that resemble picture book illustrations. Every time after telling a story, he would handwrite blessings and signatures and send them to the guests present.
Each card has a different painting and story. Today's card is the white dragon flying in the blue sky, and the boy on the white dragon's back. Below it is black and beautiful handwriting, "I wish you to break free from the shackles like the white dragon. Fly to the real sky~"
If someone can collect 12 pictures, Heshia will give him a picture book as a gift.
In this way, she can be considered to have her own group of loyal audiences. Although the number is not large, the atmosphere is very good, without too much noise and complexity from the outside world.
After communicating with several maids in the store, Heshia took the little snake to the outside of the White Feather Church of Rabbi Dede not far away. After a moment of observation, Heshia found that all the customers inside had finished, so Heshia walked in. .
In the circular compartment, some of the birds were preening their feathers, some were chirping, and some of them flew down in front of 'Rabbi Dec' and pecked at the food in her hand.
"Woo~" Perhaps it was because his palms were itchy or a little painful, so Rabbi Dec placed the birdseed on the small white round table for them to enjoy freely.
"Is Danterian here?" Hearing familiar footsteps, she looked up and saw Hesia walking in.
The two of them knelt and sat in front of the table, and the small white-scaled snake swam out from Heshia's sleeve, coiled up on the table, and looked at the various birds pecking in front of her.
"Don't attack others~" Hesia held the snake's body, stroked its head with her fingers, and warned this naughty little white snake.
Perhaps understanding what Hesia meant, the white-scaled tree viper retreated a short distance, but still looked curiously at the pecking birds from a distance.
"It's so good and can understand what you say." 'Rabbi De' looked at the little snake with its head raised, feeling a little curious and envious.
Although she also raised a lot of birds, they were not extraordinary animals after all. They had limited intelligence and could not do very complicated things. She could only occasionally let them help her lift her hair or the hem of her skirt, or act cool.
"I can understand it, but sometimes I can be naughty." Heshia commented.
"Was it raised in the 'Butis' jungle?"
"Well, there are a lot of extraordinary poisons there, and there was a big spider recovering from its injuries recently." Hesia thought for a while.
"I've heard about this. People also say that Danterian is the second person in the store besides Butis herself who can get along with those animals so easily."
"There have been bold maids who entered the jungle before, but they were bitten, and then no one went in." 'Rabbi Dec' said what she knew.
"Did you get bitten?" Hesia thought back carefully. It seemed that it was easy for her to go there for the first time. Maybe she was lucky.
"Later, if you are bitten, you should need to detoxify in time."
"Well, the store always has serum. This is what the manager asked Butis to prepare in advance. Otherwise, we definitely can't keep these guys in the store." 'Rabbi De' said as he took out a small piece of gummy candy. Shaking in front of the little snake, it seems to be trying to attract its attention.
"Yeah~"
The little tree viper suddenly sprang out and bit the gummy candy. This startled Rabbi Dec and he let go of the gummy candy in his hand.
Fortunately, this little guy knew the rules and didn't bite Rabbi Dec's finger, otherwise he would have learned a lesson today.
"I'm scaring others again." The girl knocked the snake's head and helped it swallow the gummy.
After eating the good food, the little snake became a little sleepy and curled up on the table.
"It's pretty good-looking." Rabbi Dec rested his chin on his arm and looked at the little snake in front of him. The tree viper's scales were quite ornamental. If it weren't for its poisonous nature, many people might keep it as pets.
After entering the interstellar age, human pets have also become diversified. In particular, the IQ of extraordinary creatures will generally increase, allowing many animals that were previously untamable to be artificially tamed and become safer.
When Heshia and Yilin went shopping last weekend, they saw jellyfish in a clothing store.
In the tall blue large glass box, fluorescent jellyfish swim from time to time, which is very beautiful.
After sitting together with Rabbi Dec and talking a lot, Heshia returned to her quiet little library, sitting on the high chair and practicing the violin, with the melodious sound, until she got off work.
After the last party, Hesia's life seemed to have slowly entered a peaceful and stable state.
After finishing all the work during the day, I would practice piano in my free time and occasionally communicate with my peers. During holidays, I would get together with my former elementary school classmates and gradually become as familiar as before.
In this way, June slowly ends, July slowly comes, and the poison of the raging rain slowly weakens and gradually becomes harmless.
At this time, the northern districts also became active and open again.
