Small supermarket welcomes visitors from all directions

Chapter 2: Shortage of Vegetables in Chang'an
"Isn't that a small glacier? Don't scare me!" Wang Yue looked scared, but then she reacted immediately: "Oh! No, isn't this extreme climate global? How come we don't know about it?"

Prince Fu, who had not said a word from beginning to end, was very excited when he heard Wang Yue mention the little glacier. He walked in front of Wang Yue and asked, "Girl, what is the little glacier?"

Wang Yue saw that Prince Fu's anxious face did not seem fake, and felt that things were serious. It turned out that these two people were not here to investigate her, and this might be true.

"How did you get into the store? And who are you?" Wang Yue asked seriously.

At the back door, Wang Yue saw a transparent door. Through the introduction of Prince Fu and his son, he knew that they came from here. Wang Yue passed by here countless times every day and never saw it. Now it suddenly appeared. Anyway, this cannot be explained by the knowledge on Earth.

Prince Fu formally introduced them to Wang Yue: "I am Tang Pei, Prince Fu of the Ming Dynasty, and this is my son Tang Qiao."

"I'm the owner of this supermarket, my name is Wang Yue." Wang Yue asked, "Which Ming? What's the emperor's surname?"

"Riyueming, our Majesty's surname is Tang, but it is not convenient to say his full name. He is my brother, and my name is Tang Pei." Prince Fu answered one by one.

"Oh!" Wang Yue thought to himself that it was indeed not the Ming Dynasty in history.

Prince Fu was more anxious: "Girl, please tell us about the little glacier!"

"I don't know much, I just know it's related to volcanoes. The volcanic ash floating in the air blocks the sun's light and heat, causing the ground to cool down rapidly. I heard this from hearsay, so don't take it as the truth." Wang Yue thought for a while and said.

"Ah! So that's how it is!" This is unexpected yet reasonable, and perhaps it is the only explanation that makes sense.

Wang Yue quickly said, "I'm not a scientist, so I can't be sure. I didn't even learn this in school. You need to ask an expert in this field for an accurate conclusion. I think the main thing now is to figure out how you got here."

Tang Qiao nodded quickly: "Yes! We walked from our backyard to your supermarket, how did we connect?"

"I roughly know what's going on. Let's go and confirm it now." Wang Yue took the father and son to the cashier and asked them to wait for her.

This morning, when Wang Yue was playing a small game on the cash register computer, an icon popped up. She thought it was a spam ad, so she wanted to delete it without even looking at it carefully. But there was no delete icon, and she couldn't drag it to the recycle bin. Then she looked carefully and found that the icon was called "Plane Supermarket". She wanted to click it to see what it was. But she couldn't click it, and she didn't care about it anyway because it didn't interfere with the cash register.

Now the icon was jumping wildly. Wang Yue clicked it and saw

Supermarket
Host: Wang Yue

Age: 25 years old

Wang Yue picked up the information that was useful now and looked at it, then said to the father and son: "The space-time channel connects your home and this supermarket. You can return at any time."

Tang Qiao said, "Can we come again next time? Can we buy things from your supermarket? Is it okay if we buy more?"

Wang Yue said, "You can still come over. I'll give you a doorbell to carry with you. When you go to the place where you traveled before, ring the bell and you will appear through the door. As for the things in the supermarket, you can buy them at any time. If the quantity is large, we will have to buy them from outside. Now you can see what you need to take back?"

The two of them walked around the supermarket, looking at everything they wanted to buy. In the end, Prince Fu decided to take away all the vegetables, as well as two bags of salt and two bags of sugar. Tang Qiao thought that the two of them could take something else.

Prince Fu said, "You go back alone. I'll ask Miss Wang to introduce me to an expert here. It would be best if there is a clear explanation. My brother and I have looked up so much information but to no avail. And someone here knows. I must find out before I go back."

Prince Fu bowed to Wang Yue and said, "Miss Wang, can you recommend an expert in this field to me?"

Wang Yue agreed readily: "Sure! But the things I have to deal with here need to be reported to the higher-ups, and let them handle these things. This matter is too big for me to handle by myself. Oh! And Tang Qiao, when you come here, bring some things we don't have here, so that you can be more convincing, such as the four treasures of the study, preferably the ones you are using now."

Tang Qiao nodded: "Okay! I'll take care of the arrangements."

Wang Yue helped them pack the vegetables into several plastic shopping bags, and then asked, "Tang Qiao, why did you take so many vegetables? Is there such a serious shortage of vegetables now?"

"That's right. It has been scarce for a long time. There are only radishes and some dried vegetables on the table these days. I heard from the manager that even radishes won't be available in a few days. The people are even more angry. Even the food is almost gone. The emperor's uncle dare not open the granary to release the grain. No one knows when it will end." The originally young and handsome face was now filled with sorrow.

Even the royal family could only eat radishes, so you can imagine how precious vegetables were. Thinking of this, Wang Yue asked Tang Qiao not to leave yet, and ran upstairs to the kitchen to get two bunches of water spinach, packed them and gave them to Tang Qiao.

Wang Yue didn't dare to buy those delicate vegetables because she knew that the supermarket business was not good. The supermarket only had carrots, eggplants, bitter melons, taro and other things that were easy to preserve and would not go bad even if they were kept for ten days or half a month. As for the two bunches of water spinach, she bought them for her own consumption, but now she let Tang Qiao take them away.

After Wang Yue and Prince Fu sent Tang Qiao away, Prince Fu stopped Wang Yue and said, "Miss Wang, how much do the dishes we just ordered cost? We came in a hurry and didn't prepare any money. Do you think this can cover the cost?" As he spoke, he took out a golden rabbit as big as his index finger, which he usually used to reward people of higher status.

Wang Yue fell in love with the rabbit as soon as it came out. She had seen all kinds of rabbits, but golden rabbits were relatively rare. If they were solid, they would weigh at least 10 to 20 grams or more. If one gram cost 500 yuan, 20 grams would cost 10,000 yuan. It's not that she couldn't afford it, but no one would spend 10,000 yuan to catch a rabbit for fun.

Wang Yue said, "Those bags of vegetables are not worth much." But she took the rabbit and started playing with it.

Prince Fu would definitely not take it seriously: "Girl, you can't say that. If I sell those bags of vegetables in Chang'an City, I won't sell them even if I add a few rabbits. There are no vegetables in the whole Chang'an City. Vegetables are now in short supply in our city, so these vegetables are not expensive no matter how much they are sold for."

This Prince Fu is indeed a very successful person in the court. After a few words, Wang Yue almost believed him: "Then I will accept it!"

Thank you for your corrections. I check twice every time I finish writing, but there are always some mistakes that slip through the net.
