Chapter 227 My name is 'Ding Hai'

Chapter 227 My name is 'Ding Hai'

There are very few people in the fresh food area of ​​Yongge Supermarket. Because there is no "shopping activity", those who are overwhelmed by desire will not come here under normal circumstances.

The ice used to freeze fresh food exuded a chill, the chopping board was covered with crumbs, and the knife was thrown carelessly on the ground.

Pig-headed Old Wang was breathing heavily and staring at Luo Xi.

"We haven't seen each other for such a long time, I thought you would miss me." Luo Xi still relied on Lin Qiqi's ability to communicate with Lao Wang through the soul link.

This is the safest way to do it.

Speak freely and talk about whatever you want.

"Luo Xi, what do you want to do?" Old Wang did not reject Lin Qiqi's touch, which meant that although he seemed very angry, he did not resist communicating with Luo Xi.

"I wanted to catch up with you and I thought we were friends, but you left without saying goodbye. I was even worried about your safety for a while, thinking you had been eliminated." Luo Xi looked sincere, and these words were truly what he thought in his heart.

"During the days of confinement, nothing can be truly cleared away. No one can do it, not even God." Old Wang suddenly said.

"That's very profound, it doesn't sound like something you would say." Luo Xi seemed to be joking.

"That's right, because you said this." Old Wang suddenly smiled.

This time Luo Xi looked stunned.

He wasn't pretending, he was genuinely a little surprised.

"Oh, I thought I was an atheist."

Old Wang restrained his smile 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, which is a good thing, but it may not be all good, because it means you have entered the danger zone. But if I remember correctly, you have only been a memory collector for a few days. Are you really ready?"

"I don't know!" Luo Xi said truthfully: "To be honest, I did find out some things in the past, but it's not comprehensive. Most of the time I just acted on instinct and made some judgments, but I don't know whether this judgment is right or wrong, and what consequences it will cause."

This was obviously not the answer that Lao Wang wanted to hear.

He didn't say anything and seemed to be in some kind of silence.

Luo Xi didn't say anything either.

This feeling was very strange, and Lin Qiqi couldn't help but cough softly.

Old Wang turned his head to look at her, grinned, and looked at Luo Xi again. This time he stood up, broke away from Lin Qiqi's contact, and said directly: "My name is Ding Hai, in charge of the fresh food area. Customer, do you need to buy anything? Of course, you can also participate in my shopping challenge game here. The prizes are generous, and there is a chance to win the grand prize."

At the same time, a few people who were looking for memories came over there.

It seemed that he saw Lao Wang and came towards this side.

Luo Xi didn't look back, and also stood up and said: "Tell me the rules!"

"A new customer has arrived. Do you want to challenge my game?"

Old Wang turned his pig face to look at the few people who were recalling their memories who were walking over there.

"What challenge?" asked a person who was looking for memories.

"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 one taste the real gourmet food. Meat is undoubtedly the ingredient that stands at the pinnacle of gourmet food."

"I will cook nine kinds of meat separately. Of course, I will tell you about these nine kinds of meat ingredients in advance. When you taste them, you need to put the correct name labels in the order of tasting. Whoever guesses correctly will get a reward. Of course, if you get them all wrong, even if you get only one wrong, you will not win."

"Or, if there is more than one winner, then a second round of competition will be held. In the end, only one winner will be chosen, and he or she will receive 2000 shopping vouchers and a card named [Gourmet]. By the way, [Gourmet] is a numbered card, numbered 078."

Upon hearing this, the few people who were recalling memories immediately became excited.

Under the influence of [desire], a person's greed can be increased.

Both the 2000 shopping vouchers and the numbered cards were their weak points, and they immediately expressed their desire to participate.

"If you want to participate, you need to pay 200 shopping coupons, which is a little more than other places, but their rewards are not as good as mine, don't you think?" At this moment, Lao Wang was completely a qualified supermarket staff.

At this time, Lin Qiqi came to Luo Xi and grabbed his hand.

"Are you going?"

"Of course, this is for me."

"What?" Lin Qiqi didn't understand what this meant: "What about me?"

"Don't waste 200 shopping coupons." "Understood!" If someone else said this, Lin Qiqi would definitely slap him, but if Luo Xi said this, although she didn't understand, she agreed without hesitation.

It was also because Lin Qiqi quickly figured out what was going on.

"Could it be that this idiot wanted to give the shopping voucher and numbered card to Luo Xi, but couldn't give it directly, so he used this method in a roundabout way? And this method would be best if other people who have recalled memories participated, so that it would not be suspected. Ha, this must be the case. So exciting. From their conversation just now, I know that it is related to a huge secret. It's so cool. This is much more exciting than those boring days in the past."

Without mentioning Lin Qiqi's inner monologue, Old Wang had already started selecting meat ingredients.

“Look carefully, all my operations are under your noses, so there is absolutely no possibility of cheating. Moreover, our supermarket has regulations and you can’t mess around. You have to understand this clearly, otherwise you will lose to others and then have to complain.” Old Wang said in a cold voice as he selected ingredients.

It was like a warning.

"Don't worry about that. We have been in the supermarket for a long time and know the rules. We won't complain to the dummy." A dummy said. Just at this moment, a dummy in supermarket work clothes passed by from the back walkway.

Luo Xi had no expression on his face.

"So, the purpose of complaining here is to find out what the dummies are, or in other words, who is controlling them? The manager of the supermarket scene?" Luo Xi knew very well that Old Wang was just taking advantage of the situation when he said this, and his real purpose was to remind him.

The dummy, is it a monitor?

To be honest, there was a loophole in what Lao Wang said just now. If someone with a cool head were to recall the past, he would probably realize that Lao Wang was giving a deliberate reminder.

Fortunately, the longer the memory-collecting people stay here, the more they will be entangled by various [diseases], [desires] and [greed]. These magnify a person's dark side, and people have limited concentration. If they remain relatively rational but are overwhelmed and squeezed by desires, their sensitivity will be weakened.

Even Lao Wang's obviously abnormal "speech" was not noticed by them.

"These are the meat ingredients I selected, and I have numbered them from 1 to 9. They are No. 1 ribs, No. 2 tenderloin, No. 3 pig ears, No. 4 head meat, No. 5 pork belly, No. 6 pork belly, No. 7 buttocks, No. 8 pig trotter tendons, and No. 9 hind legs. You can observe and take note!"

Old Wang materialized all nine kinds of meat ingredients into entities and let several people observe them.

"No problem!" Several people from Shiyi looked at it and nodded.

Then they paid 200 shopping vouchers respectively.

In their opinion, this challenge will definitely be difficult, but they can be distinguished just by observing the appearance of the meat. However, the taste will definitely be different, especially since these are parts of the pig. It is definitely difficult to accurately distinguish them by taste.

But if you observe some details, you can still see it.

"Since there's no problem, I'll start." Old Wang collected all the ingredients and went to the inner house to cook.

This is a time-consuming process. You can hear the sounds of cooking and frying, see the flames, and soon even smell the aroma.

"Damn, I'm hungry again." A person who was remembering memories began to feel his stomach growling.

"Haha, no matter what, we can have a big meal soon, so even if we lose it's not a big loss. The meat here is not cheap. We can buy some meat with 200 shopping coupons, but it's all raw meat. There's no cooked meat. It's not a loss if we can have a big meal." Another person who recalled the past was also rubbing his stomach.

Because of [hunger], coupled with [desire] that magnified this sense, all the people here were in a state of hunger most of the time. After smelling the aroma of meat, their stomachs were already churning with greed, and they could no longer suppress it.

Some people even had saliva flowing out of their mouths and dripping down.

So the process of waiting for the delicious food to come out is simply a torture.

Luo Xi discovered that Lin Qiqi was also swallowing her saliva.

I know she's hungry too.

Not to mention her, even Luo Xi himself was hungry. Fortunately, Luo Xi was able to suppress the feeling of hunger so that it would not interfere with his thinking ability.

Finally, about half an hour later, the cooking noise stopped.

But the scent is always there.

"Sorry for the long wait!" Old Wang came out with a large tray, but when he put down the tray, he found that there were only nine small plates on it.

The plate is at most the size of a palm.

What’s even more exaggerated is that there are only a few fingernail-sized pieces of meat on each plate.

If you count carefully, you will find that on each plate, there are 4 pieces of meat and one or two side dishes, such as coriander, green onion leaves, or garlic slices.
"There are four challengers in total, so I have prepared nine pieces of meat for each challenger. Since it is a challenge, it must be difficult. You only have one chance to taste it. Then, you can stick the number of the ingredient you wrote down under the plate of the dish you think is correct."

After hearing this, several people in Shiyi were already confused.

Because they found that the meat grains were very small, and most importantly, each grain of meat, at least, looked exactly the same.
