Chapter 227 My name is 'Ding Hai'
In the fresh food section of Yongge Supermarket, there are very few people here. Because there are no 'shopping activities', those who are coerced by desire will not normally do so. Come here.
The frozen ice exudes cold air, the chopping board for chopping meat is full of debris, and the knife is thrown carelessly on the ground.
Pig-headed Lao Wang gasped and stared at Luo Xi.
"I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you would miss me." Luo Xi still relied on Lin Qiqi's ability to talk to Lao Wang through the soul link.
This is the safest way to do it.
Speak freely and talk about anything you want.
"Luo Xi, what do you want to do?" Lao Wang did not refuse Lin Qiqi's touch, which showed that although he was very angry, he did not resist communicating with Luo Xi.
"Reminiscing with you, I thought we were friends, but you left without saying goodbye. I was even worried about your safety and thought you had been eliminated." Luo Xi looked sincere. The words really were what he meant.
"On the day of confinement, nothing can be truly cleared away. No one can do it, not even 'gods'." Lao Wang said suddenly.
"These words are very meaningful. It's not like you can say them." Luo Xi seemed to be joking.
"Yes, because you said this." Lao Wang suddenly smiled.
This time Luo Xi looked stunned.
It wasn't a pretense, he was really surprised.
“Huh, I thought I was an atheist.”
Lao Wang stopped smiling at this time, and the word serious could be seen on his wild boar-like face.
"Luo Xi, I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly. You are stronger than before. This is a good thing, but it may not always be a good thing, because it means that you have entered the danger zone. But if I remember correctly, it has only been a few cycle days since you became a memory collector. Are you really ready?"
"I? I don't know!" Luo Xi said truthfully: "To be honest, I did find out some things in the past, but it was not comprehensive. Most of the time, I just acted on instinct and made some judgments, but this judgment was correct. I don’t know if it’s still wrong or what the consequences will be.”
This is obviously not the answer Lao Wang wants to hear.
He didn't speak and seemed to have fallen into some kind of silence.
Luo Xi didn't speak either.
This feeling was very strange. Lin Qiqi couldn't help but cough softly at this time.
Lao Wang turned to look at her, grinned, and looked at Luo Xi again. This time he stood up, broke away from Lin Qiqi, and said directly: "My name is Ding Hai, and I am in charge of the fresh food area. , this customer, do you have anything to buy? Of course, you can also participate in my shopping challenge game, with generous prizes and a chance to win the grand prize."
At the same time, a few people came over there. A person who collects memories.
It seems that he saw Lao Wang and approached directly.
Luo Xi didn't look back and stood up and said: "Tell me the rules!"
"A new customer has arrived. So, do you want to challenge my game too?"
>Lao Wang's pig face looked at the few memory collectors walking over there.
"What challenge?" a memory collector asked.
“My shopping challenge is called ‘Gourmet’. A qualified gourmet must have a sense of smell and taste that is different from ordinary people. Only in this way can real food be tasted, and meat is undoubtedly the most important thing. Ingredients for the pinnacle of gourmet food”
"I will cook nine kinds of meat separately. Of course, these nine kinds of meat ingredients will be informed to you in advance. When you taste it, you need to arrange the correct name tags in the order of tasting. Whoever guesses correctly will get it. Rewards, of course, if they are all wrong, even if only one is wrong, it will not be considered a win."
"Or, If there is more than one winner, then a second round of competition is required. In the end, only one winner will get 2,000 shopping vouchers, plus a card called [Gourmet]. By the way, [Gourmet] is a numbered card. The card number is 078"
Hearing this, the memory collectors immediately became excited.
Under the influence of [Desire], a person's greed can be increased.
Whether it was 2000 shopping coupons or numbered cards, they were their weak points, and they immediately expressed their intention to participate.
"If you want to participate, you need to pay 200 shopping coupons. This is a little more than other places, but their rewards are not as good as mine, don't you think?" Lao Wang is completely a qualified supermarket worker at this moment. .
At this time, Lin Qiqi approached Luo Xi and grabbed his hand.
"Are you participating?"
"Of course, this is prepared for me."
"What?" Lin Qiqi did not understand the meaning of this sentence: "What about me?"
"Don't waste 200 shopping coupons." "I understand!" If someone else had said this, Lin Qiqi would have slapped her in the face, but if Luo Xi had said it, although she didn't understand it, she still didn't hesitate. agreed.
It was also because Lin Qiqi quickly figured out what was going on.
"Could it be that this pig head wanted to give the shopping coupons and numbered cards to Luo Xi, but he couldn't give them directly, so he used this method in a roundabout way? And it's best to have this method Other memory collectors will participate, so they won't be suspected. Ha, definitely It's so exciting. From their conversation just now, I know it's related to a huge secret. It's so exciting. This is much more exciting than those boring days in the past. "
Business Lin. Qiqi's inner monologue, Lao Wang over there has already started to select meat ingredients.
"You see clearly, all my operations are under your noses, so there is absolutely no possibility of cheating. Moreover, our supermarket has regulations and you cannot mess around. You guys understand this and don't lose to me then." It would be bad for others to complain," Lao Wang said coldly while selecting ingredients.
This is like a warning.
"Don't worry about this. We have been in the supermarket for a long time and we all know the rules. We will not complain to the dummy." A memory collector said. At this time, a dummy wearing supermarket work clothes appeared. Pass by the walkway at the back.
Luo Xi’s face was expressionless.
"It turns out that the purpose of complaining here is to find out what the dummies are, or who controls them? Is it the administrator of the supermarket scene?" Luo Xi knew very well what Lao Wang said. In one sentence, it is completely borrowing the topic. The real purpose is to remind myself.
Dummy, is it the monitor?
To be honest, there is a loophole in what Lao Wang just said. A calm-minded memory collector would most likely realize that Lao Wang was deliberately reminding him.
But fortunately, the longer Xiyi people stay here, the more they will be entangled with various [diseases], [desires] and [greed], which amplify a person's dark side, and people's There is only so much concentration. If you remain relatively rational and are squeezed by desires, your acuity will weaken.
Even Lao Wang’s obviously abnormal ‘speech’ was not noticed by them as a problem.
“These are the meat ingredients I selected, and I have numbered these ingredients from 1 to 9, which are No. 1 rib, No. 2 tenderloin, No. 3 pig ear, and No. 4 head. Meat, No. 5 pork belly, No. 6 plum blossom, No. 7 buttocks, No. 8 pork trotters, No. 9 hind legs. You can observe and note it down!”
Lao Wang 'concrete' all nine kinds of meat ingredients into entities and let several people observe them.
“No problem!” Several memory collectors looked at it and nodded.
Then I paid 200 shopping vouchers respectively.
In their opinion, this challenge will definitely be difficult, but they can tell the difference just by looking at the appearance of the meat, but the taste must be different, especially since these are parts of the pig. It is definitely difficult to accurately distinguish the taste.
But you can still see it as long as you observe some details.
"Since there is no problem, let me start." Lao Wang collected all the ingredients and began to walk to the room inside to cook.
This is a time-consuming thing. You can hear the sound of cooking and frying inside, see the light of the fire, and even smell the aroma soon.
“Damn, I’m hungry again.” A memory collector’s stomach rumbled.
"Haha, no matter what, you can have a big meal in a while, even if you lose, it's not a big loss. Speaking of which, the meat here is not cheap. 200 shopping coupons can buy some meat, but It's all raw meat, but none of it is cooked. It's not a loss if you can have a big meal." Another Yi Yi man also rubbed his belly.
Because [Hunger] and [Desire] amplify this sense, all the people here are not full and hungry most of the time. After smelling the aroma of meat, everyone's stomachs were already churning with greed, and they could no longer suppress it.
The saliva from some mouths also flowed out and dripped down.
So the process of waiting for the food to come out is simply a torture.
Luo Xi found that Lin Qiqi was also swallowing saliva.
I know she is hungry too.
Don't talk about her, even Luo Xi was hungry. Fortunately, Luo Xi could suppress the feeling of hunger, so that it would not interfere with his thinking ability.
Finally, about half an hour later, the cooking movement inside stopped.
But the fragrance is always there.
"Long wait!" Lao Wang came out with a large tray, but when he put down the items on the tray, he realized that there were only nine small plates on it.
The plate is at most the size of a palm.
And what’s exaggerated is that there are only a few meat cubes the size of fingernails on each plate.
After counting carefully, I can see that on each plate, there are 4 pieces of meat, and there are also one to two garnishes, either coriander, green onion leaves, or garlic slices
"There are a total of Four challengers, so I prepared nine pieces of meat for each challenger. Since It’s a challenge, and it must be difficult. You only have one chance to taste it, and then just paste the ingredient numbers you originally wrote down under the dishes you think are correct.”
Hear. Several people who collected memories were already confused by these words.
Because they discovered that the pieces of meat were very small, and the most important thing was that every piece of meat at least looked exactly the same.
