Chapter 159 What to do if someone hides and refuses to pay?

After following Jian Yunsang for a short while, Chaochao indeed saw another promotional booth.

This time she didn't go to eat because her father came over in his stroller.

While Chaochao was still curiously looking around, He Nanzhou pushed his cart to line up to be weighed.

The three of them met up and headed straight for the elevator to go upstairs.

Chaochao asked curiously, "Mommy, where are we going?"

“We need to buy a few gift boxes. They’re all upstairs. Let’s go upstairs and take a look.”

Daqi people, "..."

So this floor doesn't represent the entirety of the supermarket?

Is there more upstairs?
Even Emperor Jingxuan was quite surprised, saying, "The supermarkets of later generations are far too big."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the scene upstairs. Compared to the food and daily necessities on the first floor, the second floor was much quieter.

However, the people of Daqi were even more surprised: "Those are all appliances from later generations, right? That washing machine, and the refrigerator, all kinds of pots and pans."

"Why do you have clothes too? Aren't these things only sold in ready-made clothing stores?"

"And the sheets and duvet covers too. Those blankets and pillows look so soft and comfortable."

"Those rows and rows are all shoes, right? You even sell these?"

"And suitcases, the kind that Chaochao and the others push when they travel, and the kind of bags that Miss Jian carries."

"That's a car seat, right? Chaochao sits in it when she's in the car."

"Hey, hey, look, isn't that a cell phone? Yes, it is a cell phone."

The people of Daqi found this utterly unbelievable, and Emperor Jingxuan frowned as he asked his ministers, "Are the general stores in the countryside... also like this?"

Although the ministers did not usually visit grocery stores, they knew that it was impossible for them to sell everything.

They all shook their heads in unison, saying, "Although the general stores sell a wide variety of things, including food seasonings, daily necessities, agricultural tools, and common medicinal herbs, they generally sell things that are durable and would never sell fresh vegetables and fruits that are easily perishable."

"As for clothes and shoes, forget about them, nobody would want to buy those from a general store."

"The supermarket of later generations is like a treasure chest, where you can buy anything."

Before everyone had finished discussing, Jian Yunsang and her family of three had already arrived at the shelf where the gift boxes were packaged.

He Nanzhou looked up and said, "I brought the tea from home for Dad, so I won't buy any more. Now I'll buy some gift boxes for Grandma and Uncle. Take a look and see which one you like."

Chaochao asked, puzzled, "Mom, besides going to Grandpa's house, are we also going to Great-Grandma's house?"

“No, we’ll take the things to your maternal grandfather’s house and have him deliver them to your great-grandmother and the others when he has time.”

Although Jian Yunsang didn't plan to go to her uncle's house, since she was in Wucheng, she still had to show proper etiquette.

After all, her father and uncle were brothers, and she had no conflicts with her uncle; they just treated it as normal visits between relatives. She hadn't been to Wucheng for the past two years during the Spring Festival, and since she had come all this time, she couldn't very well come empty-handed. It was fine for her, but the He family couldn't pretend they knew nothing. As the Jian family's son-in-law, He Nanzhou had to be treated appropriately.

Chao Chao nodded and listened quietly as Jian Yunsang and He Nanzhou selected items.

Before long, the items were purchased, but Chaochao was completely confused.

But Emperor Jingxuan clicked his tongue as if something was amiss, “Whether the things you choose are suitable for the old lady and Uncle Jian is not important, what matters is that they are expensive, am I right?”

The Grand Tutor smiled and said, "When Miss Jian was chatting with her sister last time, she actually revealed that the old lady was probably very concerned about her reputation and was quite talkative. So choosing something expensive might be the most suitable thing for her."

The old lady is quite old; how much food could she actually use? The things that are truly suitable for her are probably all very cheap.

If the He family dares to give away cheap things, the old lady will definitely say that the richer the He family is, the stingier they are.

If Jian Yunsang heard this, she would definitely agree wholeheartedly.

When she and He Nanzhou got married in their first year, she thought about carefully choosing things, selecting the kind of food that the old lady liked to eat. The prices weren't high, but they were definitely the kind of things that she wouldn't normally buy.

Not long after, she overheard the old lady muttering to her father that the He family didn't value her as their daughter-in-law, otherwise why would they be so reluctant to spend money on her?

Even a small leak from the He family would be enough to make Jian Yunsang return home in style, but instead they gave her this thing. Now, Jian Yunsang might have to walk on eggshells in the He family, constantly getting beaten and scolded.

At first, Jian Zhengqing didn't think much of it, but after the old lady said that, he couldn't help but misunderstand. He even had a long talk with Jian Yunsang with great concern, implying that she shouldn't be wronged. Although their family wasn't as rich as the He family, they were still well-off. If the He family treated her badly, then they should get a divorce.

It took Jian Yunsang a long time to convince Jian Zhengqing that she was doing well. After that, Jian Yunsang gained experience and decided to give her grandmother and uncle expensive gifts. She didn't care if they were appropriate or not; if she gave the old lady high-end wine that she never touched, she'd probably be happy.

After browsing through the supermarket, buying gift boxes was actually the fastest way to make money.

After selecting their items, the three went to the cashier to pay.

Chaochao finally understood how the supermarket collected money.

The people of the Great Qi Dynasty still found it a bit unbelievable. "There are so many passageways around, and no one stops them to check if they have anything on them. Anyone can come and go as they please. Aren't they afraid that their things will be stolen?"

"Will people in later generations really be so self-aware?"

Someone else noticed the scanner at the checkout counter and exclaimed in surprise, "I was wondering how the cashier could remember so many prices when they bought so much stuff without any price tags on the packaging. That's amazing! Turns out they use machines for checkout too."

Emperor Jingxuan was genuinely envious of these convenient gadgets from later generations, thinking, "...When will we be able to make one or two of those things?"

Especially with mobile phones, they now know that mobile phones can do much more than just make calls, video chats, and send messages.

It can even take pictures, be used as a book, be used as a navigation device, and be used as a money bag. It's practically an all-purpose device, and he wanted it so badly.

Yu Kang Sheng, “…” Every time Emperor Jingxuan uttered such a remark, he would very skillfully and silently retreat.

If I had known, I wouldn't have come today. Anyway, he's been quite busy lately. His Majesty would have understood if he had asked for leave and sent the Vice Minister of Works instead.

Fortunately, this time Emperor Jingxuan only glanced at him before his attention returned to the sky.

After the three members of the He family paid the bill, Chaochao finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mom, what if someone secretly hides one or two things and doesn't pay?"
