Small supermarket welcomes visitors from all directions

Chapter 144 Life in Yuanbao Village
Qi Nan and Pei Zongze returned home and quickly moved everything into the house. Pei Zongze urged Qi Nan to cook quickly: "Xiao Nan, hurry up and cook all the beef. I haven't eaten beef for a long time."

"Don't even think about it. Let's eat it in the evening!" Qi Nan was unwilling.

"What? You don't want to eat it?" If Qi Nan didn't want to make it, he should be able to make it himself, although it wouldn't taste as good.

"Who doesn't want to eat? I can't help drooling when I see raw beef. But if I do this, the whole village will know about it. By then I will have to explain to them before I even eat it. How can I still eat after they mention the matter of the Plane Supermarket?" Qi Nan explained to Pei Zongze.

"It seems so! Then what are we going to eat for lunch?" Today's meal must be delicious!

"Luncheon meat, I prepared a lot for you. You go out a lot, and you don't eat well or sleep well outside. This luncheon meat is the most convenient." Qi Nan raised the luncheon meat in his hand.

"Then hurry up and do it! After dinner, go tell the villagers about the supermarket, otherwise we really won't be able to eat."

As he was talking, Pei Zongze helped Qi Nan light a fire. Fortunately, when they moved in, the villagers said they were used to burning firewood, so the village uniformly built earthen stoves. Otherwise, where could they buy natural gas in this remote place?
"When uncle and auntie first came, they didn't know how to light a fire. Now they can cook rice in an iron pot."

Pei Zongze thought about the various difficulties that Qi's father and mother had to adapt to when they first crossed over. In the entire Yuanbao Village, only these two people were pure city people, and they didn't know how to cook with a clay stove or farm.

Others who have traveled through time just cannot access the internet or go shopping. Everything else is pretty much the same as before, they all farm, so the villagers have adapted well.

"Yes, we went to plant potatoes with Aunt Zhang and others today! I don't know how it went." Qi Nan was a little worried that his parents would not be able to adapt to farm work.

"Don't worry, they are in good health. Otherwise, I'll go and take a look." Pei Zongze put down the watering can in his hand and was about to go out.

"Don't go. You're tired too and you'll be back soon. If they really can't do it, they will stop. They won't go against their own bodies." Qi Nan understands his parents.

"Yes, there's no rush. I talked to our boss today and asked him to help get some large machines. When the time comes, running the machines for a day will do the same amount of work as the whole village does in a day."

"What you said sounds good, but where can we find the oil?" Qi Nan felt it was unrealistic.

"Just take it from the supermarket. They are supporting us anyway. We can find oil and refine it ourselves in the future. By then, all the cars in our village can go out for a ride." Pei Zongze said.

"How long do we have to wait? I think these cars are useless here. It would be better to sell them through the supermarket and buy a few tricycles!"

"You're right. Nowadays, every family has a car. Some of them are new, not to mention they've been in use for years. It's a shame to leave them here. After today, I'll go to the supermarket to discuss it. Tricycles and bicycles are more convenient here."

"Nannan, what delicious food are you cooking?" Qi's father's voice came from outside the house.

"Dad, you're back. Come into the house quickly. The food will be ready soon." Qi Nan replied.

Qi's father and mother changed into their farm work shoes outside. When they entered the living room, they saw a pile of things, as if they had gone to a supermarket to do some shopping.

But it has been a month since they came here, and Qi's father is sure that no family can still take out an unopened bag of rice. But there are still two bags of rice and one bag of flour piled here.

"Nannan, where did these things come from?"

"Hurry up and wash your hands. Let's talk about it later when we eat. The food is ready." Qi Nan saw that his parents were in good condition, but their clothes were a little muddy. So he called them to eat. Pei Zongze had already brought out the dishes. The two of them set the food, and Qi's father and mother also cleaned themselves up. Everyone ate together.

After traveling through time for so long, there are no more vegetables at home. The usual dishes are wild vegetables that Qi's father and mother learned to dig from the villagers.

There were two plates on the table today, which was unprecedented. Upon closer inspection, there was a plate of luncheon meat and another plate of stir-fried water spinach.

"Where did this luncheon meat come from? And how did you get these things in the living room?" Qi's father was still very calm. He didn't eat the meat even though he saw it, but wanted to find out what was going on first.

It seems that I have to talk about things before I can have a good meal.

"I encountered a time-travel portal today, traveled through time to a supermarket and brought these things back. This afternoon I am organizing the villagers to go shopping there. That's what happened." Qi Nan explained the situation in a few words.

"Is Nannan Earth? Can we go back?" asked Qi's father.

"Look, these things are what we often use, so they must be from our Earth. Which province is Nannan from?" Qi's mother didn't say much but she observed carefully.

"It's the Earth, which belongs to the neighboring province. As for going back, forget it. I've already asked, and it's already very good that we can go there to buy things." Qi Nan said.

"We can go shopping too. I haven't been to a supermarket for a long time. I used to live above a supermarket and I disliked it being noisy. This time I don't have a supermarket to go to, and I miss it a lot." Qi's father said.

"I told the villagers this afternoon that only one person from each family can go, otherwise the supermarket will not be able to handle the needs. There are now a thousand people in our village, with more than 270 households. The supermarket will be a little crowded just to handle these 200 people. So only one person from you can go this afternoon. Otherwise, don't go today, and I will take you two there separately another day." Qi Nan discussed with his parents.

"That's right! If we go, there will definitely be a lot of people. Is the supermarket over there big? Can it accommodate so many people?" Qi's mother was worried about the crowds there.

"The supermarket is still very big, but it's still very crowded if people from our village go there."

"How about letting them go in batches?" Qi's father suggested.

"Don't do that! This is something that will offend people. As for the crowds, everyone will overcome it. This is not shopping in a supermarket, this is buying supplies, daily necessities." Qi's mother analyzed.

"That's right! If someone asks me to go only next time, I will definitely be angry with him." said Qi's father.

"What? You still want to go to the supermarket in the afternoon?" asked Qi's mother.

"Didn't Nan Nan say that one person from each family could go?" said Qi's father.

"That means Nan Nan from our family won't go, and we ask you to go. Can you greet the villagers well?" asked Qi's mother.

"That's right!" Qi's father was a little unhappy.

"I'm going there this afternoon, and Aze is going too. His comrades are in that supermarket. When we want to apply for something, he will need to communicate with the country. Only he can do this. Some things can't be understood even if they are told to us!" Qi Nan said.
