Volume 1 Emerging Edge 0144, Hands-on

At the end of the month, the weather was fine.

Rare good weather.

There were not even clouds in the sky.

Li Xiaofei rode his modified motorcycle, carrying his aunt and Xiaojie, to the rule of law area.

This is the first time Xiao Jie has come to a place in the rule of law area other than the school, and she was very excited along the way, looking at the high-rise buildings around her, and chattering non-stop.

Especially in the business district of the city center.

Wide streets, buildings with glass facades, a variety of oversized screens, naked-eye 4D advertising......

Compared to the slums, it seems to be another planet.

Xiao Jie's eyes widened.

Such a scenery is so wonderful and beautiful.

"It turns out that there is such a beautiful place in the world."

Xiao Jie exclaimed.

Li Xiaofei said: "In the future, our slums will be more beautiful and beautiful than here." ”

Took the two women around the downtown business district.

Then came to the Starry Sky Building.

The shopping tickets that were officially rewarded before were designated at the place of purchase at the 'Star Supermarket' on the basement floor of the building.

The three of them walked around the supermarket.

Xiao Jie's whole person is still excited.

Look at the east, look at the west.

It's like visiting a fantasy playground.

Li Xiaofei took out the shopping ticket and bought two catties of fresh vegetables, half a catty of tomatoes, three apples, and then bought a bucket of ten catties of flour.

Although there is a shopping ticket, it also costs the entire 12,000 Star Coins.

For many middle-class people in the base city, this can be regarded as a hemorrhagic purchase.

After shopping, it was almost noon.

Li Xiaofei originally wanted to have a big meal at the restaurant on the sixth floor of the mall.

But Xiao Jie said nothing and didn't agree.

The little girl forcibly dragged Li Xiaofei out of the Starry Sky Building.

"It's too expensive."

She said resolutely: "Brother, let's not spend that unjust money, if you really want to have a big meal, let's change to a cheaper place, which is affordable and large, and delicious." ”

My aunt also agreed.

"Okay."

Li Xiaofei surrendered to two hard-working and thrifty women.

In the end, the three of them came to a hot pot restaurant on 'Congtai Road' in the outer area of the business district.

"Welcome."

The waiter greeted him as soon as possible and took the three of them to sit down at table 12 in the hall.

"Sihai self-service hot pot, the online evaluation is very good, the amount is full......"

Li Xiaofei said.

To be honest, this is also the first time he has come to eat hot pot since he crossed over.

Take a look at the menu.

Meat is cheap, vegetables are expensive.

Noodles are more expensive.

But the most expensive is all kinds of dipping sauces.

Vinegar, peppers, and crushed peanuts are dozens of times more expensive than meat.

Because in this day and age, it is easy to hunt star beasts, but it is difficult to grow crops.

And it is difficult to grow seasoning crops such as peppers and peanuts.

The limited land and water resources are used to grow real staple foods.

It's not the same as it was 500 years ago.

Li Xiaofei thought that he finally came out once, so he ordered some.

Settle the account.

Boy.

Bowls add up to half of the cost.

"Sir, please pay the money first and then eat."

The restaurant manager came over and said with the bill.

Li Xiaofei said unexpectedly: "Isn't it to eat first and pay later?" ”

The restaurant manager was a middle-aged woman, dressed very exquisitely, with a high-tech face, and an undisguised discrimination on her face, and said, "I'm sorry, sir, please pay the bill before you can enjoy the service of our store." ”

"Then why don't they pay first?"

Li Xiaofei pointed to the tables next to him.

The restaurant manager didn't speak, just glanced up and down at the clothes of several people.

Li Xiaofei did not wear the 'Ming Gentleman' suit, and Xiao Jie and Xiao Auntie were also very plain in their clothes.

It doesn't look like someone who can afford to spend money in such a store.

Damn it.

Discriminated against.

Li Xiaofei didn't want to ruin the good mood that came out today, so he directly scanned the QR code with his optical brain and checked out in advance.

When the restaurant manager saw that he could really afford it, there was immediately a smile on his face, and he said, "The three of you use it lightly, if you need anything, you can call the waiter at any time." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Xiao Jie looked around timidly.

The first time she came to this 'upscale' restaurant, she was a little overwhelmed.

My aunt sat very quietly.

"There's a classmate from our school over there."

Xiao Jie suddenly whispered.

Li Xiaofei looked in the direction she was pointing.

Across the window of the four rows of tables, there is about a family of three.

A middle-aged chubby woman with heavy makeup, a man with a big bald head and strong muscles, and a chubby little girl wearing a pink princess dress, a hairpin, and a pink crossbody bag.

The classmate Xiao Jie said was probably the little girl.

"Going to say hello?"

Li Xiaofei said.

Xiao Jie shook her head and said, "I don't like Kong Xinyue, she often bullies people at school. ”

Li Xiaofei's heart moved, and said, "I bullied you too?" ”

Xiao Jie shook her head again and again, and said, "No, no." ”

Li Xiaofei didn't think much about it, got up and said, "I'll go mix the dipping sauce." ”

He knew very well the tastes of the two, so he took the three bowls and walked towards the spice table in the distance.

Because the seasoning is cheaper than the 'main dish', there are two waiters standing here, staring at everyone who comes to pick up the ingredients with wide eyes, for fear that someone will take more.

Li Xiaofei came to the material table and saw that there were not many varieties.

He had just adjusted the three-point bowl, when suddenly a piercing scream came from the dining area behind him.

Then there was the loud shouting and scolding.

There was a loud slap in the face.

He turned his head to look, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

In the distance, at table 12.

The middle-aged woman with heavy makeup was jumping on her feet and scolding: "Little, stealing my family's things, she didn't admit it, but dropped her new toy, whose child, so without a tutor, where did my parents die?" ”

Xiao Jie covered her face, tears flashing in her eyes: "I didn't fall, it was herself...... I didn't steal anything from you, we bought all these vegetables and fruits ourselves. ”

"It's you, it's you, little poor ghost, you snatched the toy out of my hand and fell to the ground."

The little girl in the pink princess dress looked proud, and said proudly: "Besides, even a poor sour like you, a wild dog from the slums, can you afford vegetables and fruits from the Star Supermarket?" Hmph, you bosom liar. ”

As he spoke, he also started to tear Xiaojie's hair.
