Chapter 5 What a long dream
"Oh, this potato was just picked from a farm in Kyoto two days ago and flown in. It weighs about four hundred and seventy-five carats. "The shopping guide is very professional and introduced to Promi.
Still picking, the potatoes are obviously dug out of the soil, and what are you talking about picking, it's really funny. It's not like I haven't done farm work. Promi muttered to herself.
"The price is ...... Oh, I saw it. As soon as Promi looked up, he saw that the electronic quotation board behind the counter was very eye-catching, and the price of potatoes today was 97.5 yuan. The unit is, of course, carats.
Promi nodded, one gram is equal to five carats, and potatoes that look less than two or two pounds will almost sell for more than 40,000 yuan. I can only get 5,000 yuan after working in the hospital for a month. I can't afford even a single potato.
The world is terrible.
Returning from the Tianjiang City Shopping Center, Promi's heart was a little sad.
Supposedly, the world is pretty good. The work is so easy, and I have my family to take care of me. However, all I could eat was that lunch bag, and it didn't taste at all. It's just unbearable.
If there are no vegetables in this world, no condiments, then forget it. simply broke off this idea, but there was another one, but the price was frighteningly high, so with his own salary, he saved half a year's money, and it is estimated that he can barely make up a plate of fried shredded potatoes. And it's the kind that only puts salt and no chili peppers.
Now think about it, what a charming place the vegetable market of that world was.
When I got home in the evening, my mother had already returned from work. Dinner, as expected, was much the same as lunch at noon. It's just that the dinner is the "Intermediate Dinner Pack Family Edition", which is a little more affordable. But it's still the same tasteless, the same bad taste, the same color.
Promi's mother eats with her head down, as if she is knitting a sweater or doing some kind of housework.
"Are you okay going to work? Mom asked him.
"It's fine. Promi said.
He ate a few bites of dinner, but he couldn't eat it anymore. He pushed the plate away and said he was full.
"You've just recovered, so it's better to eat less. ”
Mom said. She spoke as if eating was a task that an adult had to complete. It's only because of Promi's illness that you can make an exception and eat less.
"Mom, when will our family eat vegetables?" asked Promi before leaving the table. He couldn't believe that he was going to eat like this for the rest of his life.
"Didn't we eat vegetables once last year? Mom said with a smile.
"Oh, I remember. ”
Promi said, extracting relevant information from his memory.
It was eaten at a wedding reception last year, and each person had about one-eighth of a potato with a little salt. Everyone here treats it as a delicacy. Almost every woman took more than nine photos from different angles and posted them to her circle of friends to show off.
It can be seen that in this world, eating vegetables is such a face-saving thing.
After dinner, it only took a few minutes for Promi's mother to put away all the things on the plate. There is no porridge, soup, rice, vegetables, and no greasy plates, and there are pots stained with rice grains, dripping from the table of vegetable soup. All the utensils for dinner were clean and could be cleaned up with little to no cleaning.
This may be the only advantage when you eat poorly.
While Promi's mother was cleaning up the cups, plates, and chopsticks she had eaten for dinner, Promi was watching TV on the couch. By the way, there is no kitchen in the world here, only a simple cooking station, which is about the same status as a shoe cabinet at home.
There's nothing to see on TV, and of course there won't be food shows, and it's rare to see ads about food.
The more popular programs include "I Am a Poet", which is mainly a live poetry writing and poetry recitation program, as well as "Biwa Sculpture Conference", which is mainly a live competition sculpture program, and "Biwa Good Voice", which is mainly a music talent show. Biwa is the name of the country where Promi is located in this world.
"This year's festival will not receive gifts, only the foot bronze will be accepted! This year's festival will not receive gifts, only the foot bronze ...... will be accepted."
Unexpectedly, the advertising in this world is also so boring.
"Mom, is this foot bronze useful?"
Promi asked. He thought that his body was relatively weak, and he would see if he could make up for it. Anyway, boiling bone broth, stewing old hens and other methods to replenish the body, these are all things that don't need to be thought about, there is definitely no one.
"This kind of useless is not as good as the health tonic in your hospital. Take one tablet a day to slowly recuperate your body. Promi's mother said.
"Yes, I'll buy some when I go back. Promi said.
"No, you've already bought a big can, and it's in your room. You don't remember?" said Mom.
"Oh, I almost forgot ......," Promi said.
After chatting with her mother for a while, Promi went back to her room and went to sleep. Sure enough, on the table in his room, there was a large jar of health supplements, which were also small capsules. The packaging of the jar is plain and looks like a very ordinary medicine.
Promi mobilized the information in his memory, and then remembered that this golden health tonic would only be taken by adults when they were weak. The price is also very cheap, and it is sold at any hospital. Normally, it is enough to take one at regular intervals. Because Promi's body is relatively weak, he bought a large can and put it in the room to eat.
This is also the advantage of working in a hospital, any medicine can be easily purchased.
Thinking that he was going to live alone in this other world that he had traveled through, Promi felt a little unwilling. As the saying goes, "Die before you get out of school, and the hero will be full of tears".
Originally, he wanted to work hard in his original world and live the life he wanted to live.
For example, to open a small restaurant, it doesn't have to be very big, it's just a small restaurant with few customers and few dishes. However, people who come to eat will be very fond of the food they have prepared with great care.
Another example is to be a food detective yourself, secretly going to various restaurants to taste food and independently express your opinion on their food.
For another example, find a girl who is pleasing to her eyes, and the two of them can cook dinner together in the kitchen every night, and she appreciates her cooking skills very much. After dinner......
Unexpectedly, he actually crossed into this world by accident. Now, all the good dreams are in vain.
In this world, work is easy, but my life suddenly has no purpose.
But what is even more difficult to accept is that even the pleasure of eating is gone. It's a shame to have no food and still have a sense of taste. Or rather, there is simply no meaning in such a life.
Thinking of this, Promi shook his head helplessly. I took a tonic for the body, and after taking it, I fell asleep.
"Jingle Bell ......"
The alarm went off. Luo Sixiu skillfully reached out his hand, turned off the alarm clock, and sat up slowly. In front of me is the scene of room 502 of the rental house in Guiyuandong Village, which I am extremely familiar with.
"Alas, what a long dream. Luo Sixiu sighed.
