Plane Supermarket

On a rare sunny day, Ye Zhou sat in the sun outside the supermarket, with a small wooden table in front of him, with tea and snacks on it.

Cao'erniang moved out a recliner from nowhere, and Ye Zhou was lying on the recliner, wearing sunglasses, and fell asleep after a while in the sun.

Ye Zhou was very satisfied with the long holiday. The closure of the supermarket did not affect the base. After all, the whole supermarket is thriving now. Everyone is very busy. They are busy looking for jobs and going to work, let alone even if they want to shop. , and no tortillas.

Apart from corn cakes, the only supplies left in the Luoyang base that could be exchanged were guns.

And those who could be changed were also changed by Yang Guoqin.

Now the arsenal of the Luoyang base can be described as empty.

The entire base was hollowed out by Ye Zhou - but he couldn't be blamed, it was because the base was too poor.

When Chen Gang came to look for him, Ye Zhou never thought that Chen Gang's family would have such an idea. After all, the base is developing in a good direction, so there is no need to abandon this life and go to an unknown place to work with him. .

What's more, it's still a family, and the elderly and children are brought along. How much determination does it take?

Chen Gang didn't come empty-handed. He brought a box of homemade snacks, including glutinous rice cakes, pumpkin cakes, and salted peanuts. These small dishes are made by himself, and there is always a heart.

Ye Zhou looked at Chen Gang's face.

Chen Gang lowered his head, and Ye Zhou sighed: "Why do you want to go with me, at least I have to give a reason for my belief."

Chen Gang hemmed and hawed for a while, and finally said: "My parents and parents-in-law are not in good health. My wife said that if I go to the supermarket, my health will get better, and there will be no disease or disaster."

"They are actually only in their 50s today. Before the end of the day, they would still be considered middle-aged, not old people." Chen Gang explained eagerly, "They don't need wages, and they can do a lot of work in normal times."

Ye Zhou frowned: "It doesn't matter what the salary is."

After all, two adults work for him, and it is not difficult to provide for the elderly and children. After all, the food in the supermarket is cheap, so just buy less snacks.

"It's mainly your two children who won't go to school anymore?" Ye Zhou felt that Chen Gang and Qian Lan were not very smart about being parents.

Ye Zhou didn't mention to them that time doesn't flow when doing business.

This is actually not a good thing, it may be fine for men, women and old people, but for children, it means they will never grow up.

The children in the supermarket now, after a while, they still have to be sent back to Daliang Dynasty.

They cannot be deprived of the opportunity to grow up.

Chen Gang let out an "ah" and said in a daze, "Now the base school only teaches literacy and basic mathematics."

In his view, this level of knowledge can also be imparted by parental teaching.

In the past, the base lacked teachers, and ordinary children had no chance of receiving education at all. What's more, what the base needed was more labor force, not intellectuals and scientists, who could be trained, but not spread the net.

Basically, only a small number of children of intellectuals can receive high-end education.

It's not fair, and it's not that no one has complaints, but everyone can understand it.

Because social resources are no longer enough to support everyone to receive education equally, but human society needs such high knowledge as scientists, so resources can only be tilted.

Chen Gang is not a scientist, so his daughter is destined to not get any education. If she can recognize common characters and can add, subtract, multiply and divide without any problems, she can graduate. In the future, she will either enter a factory or become a female soldier.

After Chen Gang said this, Ye Zhou was silent for a while.

Although he can understand the base's approach, he also feels that this kind of resource allocation sounds irritating.

But Ye Zhou still said: "There is another problem, that is, the supermarket can't accommodate people."

What Ye Zhou hopes most now is that there will be an option to build staff dormitories in the system - the warehouse is big, but it can't always keep the goods, and there is a time difference in the system, and the goods also appear in the warehouse.

There is still a lot of stock in the warehouse now, and Wu Yan and the others have much less room for movement.

"Well, there are too many people in your family now. If you can find a way to build a staff dormitory before I leave, I invite you to come here." Ye Zhou shrugged and sighed helplessly.

The supermarket is very short of people now. More than ten employees seem to be a lot, but for a large supermarket, it is barely enough for the number of employees in two or three areas.

It was almost entirely dependent on the personal will of the employees to survive the busy time before.

Originally, Zou Ming and the others should not have participated in the work of the supermarket, but they were also arrested by Ye Zhou, so they barely managed to survive.

Now that Ye Zhou has some capital in his hands, he really wants to hire some people. If the next plane is also busy, the people will not be hired in vain.

If there are not many customers in the next plane like Daliang Dynasty, then he will be dismissed and sent back after paying a sum of compensation.

In short, he no longer has to worry and think about things like before.

Chen Gang thought that Ye Zhou had declined him politely, so he gave an embarrassing "hmm" and didn't continue to fight.

Looking at the back of Chen Gang leaving, Ye Zhou also sighed.

In the past, he was worried that if there were too many people invited, they would have their own ideas, which might endanger his safety.

After all, people are separated from each other.

But now he's no longer afraid of it, and he has money, but he's stuck in the staff dormitory - and to be honest, he doesn't want to live in the lounge now either.

The purpose of the lounge was to give him a place to take a nap when he was working overtime, not for living.

Ye Zhou wants the living room, kitchen, balcony and bathroom.

"What did you say? Didn't let them stay?" Sarah came out of the supermarket, she sat next to Ye Zhou, squeezed Ye Zhou into the recliner, and ate with a bag of spicy potato chips, "He did a good job .”

Ye Zhou: "He wants to take care of his family, but his family has too many people and has no place to live."

Ye Zhou sighed: "I can't let people leave the elderly and children alone and work for me alone. That's outrageous."

And if only single men are recruited, then Ye Zhou is not at ease.

People who have no worries, once they have bad intentions, it is difficult to give up the idea. Anyway, they have nothing to lose, so why not take a gamble?

Ye Zhou doesn't think that all single men are bad people, but for his own safety, he would rather miss a few good employees than ask for trouble.

"It would be best if the couple only had children." Ye Zhou sat up halfway, reaching for the water glass, "But let the old man be left in the base? I can't say it. By the way, can the system repair the staff dormitory? ?”

Sarah hesitated for a moment: "It seems possible? I've seen it before, but how do I unlock it?"

"There is no reminder from your side now, which proves that the lock cannot be solved for the time being, at least not in this plane."

Sarah finished eating a bag of potato chips, took out two millet peppers from the bag, and turned to Ye Zhou, "Do you want to eat?"

When Ye Zhou saw the red hot pepper, he started to salivate involuntarily, he shook his head quickly: "Don't eat it."

Sarah threw one into her mouth: "When are we leaving?"

Ye Zhou: "Let's go tonight. After night, there will be less movement."

"Boss." A few half-grown children came out from the corner, and they brought gifts. Although they were all from the supermarket, they knew that Ye Zhou didn't need them, but they really didn't have anything to sell. I can bring these here.

Ye Zhou smiled at them, feeling a little worried.

Half-grown children can't even be registered as employees, even if he wants to take them away.

They were all orphans, with no adult relatives, and they couldn't take advantage of any loopholes they wanted.

These children didn't come to ask Ye Zhou to take them away, but asked Ye Zhou if he could take Feng Ling away.

"Feng Ling is an adult." They were afraid that Ye Zhou would not agree, and they looked at Ye Zhou with pleading eyes, "She just has a heart problem, and she doesn't usually get sick."

Ye Zhou was a little helpless: "Where did you know that?"

The half-grown children looked at each other, but they knew they couldn't hide their lies, so they could only say, "We heard Aunt Qian and Sister Cao'er talking."

They are not stupid, and they can understand after a little thought.

Compared with them, Cao'er's body is much better. She looks so thin, but every time she gets tired, she can eat something and be alive immediately. Her strength is also stronger than theirs, and she doesn't suffer from headaches at all.

The fact that a supermarket can produce a photon cannon proves that it must have something extraordinary.

It may be normal to keep people free from disease and disaster?

The children don't expect everyone to go, not to mention they don't want to leave the base, they don't yearn for the outside world very much, but they think Feng Ling should fight for it.

If she stays at the base all the time, she definitely won't live long.

Ye Zhou didn't refuse outright either: "Feng Ling is not yet of age, is she?"

When the children saw the play, they immediately said: "She has grown up! She turned fifteen yesterday!"

Ye Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and he suddenly thought that fifteen years is considered an adult here. Can the adult calculated by the system be adjusted according to the plane, or should it be strictly followed?

"I can't answer you now, you let Feng Ling come to me by herself, before three o'clock in the afternoon."

The children breathed a sigh of relief and put down the fruit snacks they were carrying before leaving.

"I guess they came here without telling Feng Ling." Ye Zhou said to Sarah, "I'm afraid I will refuse, so come here to find out."

Sarah said to Ye Zhou a little bit, "Feng Ling can."

Ye Zhou was stunned: "You only met her once."

Sarah was serious: "One time is enough. Some people's temperament can be seen without time to figure it out."

Ye Zhou smiled: "Really? Then what kind of temper is she?"

Sarah leaned back and leaned her back on Ye Zhou's shoulder. She didn't feel too flustered, and she tilted her head and said, "He is a flexible person, and he doesn't insist too much. He is very clever."

After all, he is an orphan and his health is not good. If he doesn't use his brain well, he will have to suffer a lot in the process of growing up.

Whether it can grow up smoothly is a question.

"Okay, wait for her to come to me."

Although a group of people can't accept it, it's still not a big problem for one person.

·

"Do you want milk tea?" Sarah asked Feng Ling who was sitting in a daze in the rest area.

Feng Ling looked up in confusion and said "ah", she rubbed her hands together, she couldn't believe that she really came, and she couldn't believe that she really applied for the job.

No matter how enthusiastically she talked to her companions before, she knew that she was a burden to her companions.

Her heart disease requires medicine. Once she leaves the service center, the base will no longer pay for her medicine and treatment, and her life will become extremely difficult.

No matter how hard she works, she may barely make ends meet—if a factory is willing to take her.

As for setting up a stall?Everyone knew in their hearts that it was just a vain dream.

Where is anyone willing to buy processed food these days?There are too few people buying, and setting up a stall may not even earn back the cost of medicine.

Feng Ling even thought that if she couldn't find a job, she simply wouldn't look for it and didn't take medicine. She already had a lot of problems, so why waste resources and drag others down while living.

But when she was dragged over by her partners and stood in front of the supermarket owner, she still failed to break the jar.

She nervously introduced herself to the other party - she is not stupid, she is very smart, although the school does not teach much, but she will go to the library to study by herself and borrow a lot of books.

If you look at her educational background before the zombie virus appeared, she must have at least a high school diploma.

It was the first time in Feng Ling's life that she boasted about herself. Although she was ashamed and wanted to find a hole in the ground, she still finished.

She looked at the boss's expression anxiously, her heart rose to her throat.

Although she knew that there was a high probability that she would not be hired, Feng Ling couldn't help fantasizing about the only possibility.

When the young and handsome boss nodded to her with a smile, she suddenly realized that she had applied for the job.

It felt like a dream at that moment.

Feng Ling held the milk tea that Sarah handed her, she pursed her lips, and asked as if she had done something bad: "Is it really worth it if the boss invites me? I can't do any heavy work."

She had already applied for the job and signed the contract, so she could finally worry about the boss.

Sarah: "Just wait for another place, Cao'er was in worse health than you before."

Cao'er, who came out to get snacks, heard Sarah mentioning herself, leaned over her head and said, "I used to be so thin that only a handful of bones remained!"

She was quite proud: "It's dark and thin, and it looks very scary."

"Do you want to see photos? My sister has taken photos of me."

Feng Ling didn't realize that the sister Cao'er was talking about was Sarah, and she couldn't refuse the enthusiastic colleague, so she could only nod to look at the mobile phone that Cao'er handed over.

Feng Ling held the mobile phone and didn't know how to use it - touch-sensitive mobile phones have long been "eliminated". Now people's demand for mobile phones is that they can talk and send text messages, and they are not easy to break.

Therefore, except for people with work needs who can be equipped with brick phones, most people use walkie-talkies.

Feng Ling had heard about this kind of mobile phone, but she had never used it. She held it carefully and didn't even dare to touch it.

It was Sarah who brought up the photos to show her, and Feng Ling couldn't help exclaiming: "So skinny!"

It's just a bone, with a dangling head on it, and it's still grinning at the camera.

But this smile will not move the audience, it will only make people feel scary.

Cao'er thought that Feng Ling had entered the supermarket, and if she wanted to go with them tonight, she would be her own, and she would stay together every day in the future, so naturally there would be no secrets between each other, so she said without hesitation: "Immortal It is said that the next place to go is Minzel Continent, this name is really strange."

"Is that piece of land called Minzier, or the country on that piece of land called Minzier?" Cao'er couldn't figure it out, she handed a jelly to Feng Ling, and said very generously, "Take it, I Please."

After the result, Feng Ling said with some embarrassment: "Thank you."

Sarah: "I think the land is called Minzel, maybe it used to be the name of a dynasty, and when the dynasty dies, it becomes the name of the land."

Feng Ling was confused and didn't know what they were talking about, but she grasped one of the words keenly, but she didn't dare to interrupt Cao'er, and she didn't ask until Cao'er stopped talking: "You just said fairy?"

Fairy?

Fairy?

Cao'er nodded: "Yes, the boss is a fairy, he can travel through countless small worlds, the world you are in is one of the countless small worlds, three thousand worlds! Maybe there are more than three thousand."

Cao'er pointed at herself: "The small world I live in is different from yours, there are no monsters outside."

"But there is no such tall house." Cao'er, "There is no two-wheeled car."

Sarah reminded: "That's called a bicycle."

Cao'er nodded.

Feng Ling was dubious: "Are you from ancient times?"

Cao’er already understood the meaning of modern and ancient times through Sarah’s popular science, so she said confidently: “To us, that’s modern! We are not a small world, so we can’t count according to your calculations.”

Feng Ling: "..."

Makes sense.

Sarah saw that the vaccinations for Feng Ling were enough, so she patted Feng Ling on the shoulder: "I'm leaving tonight, it's best not to sleep the whole night, you should know that when we first came here, we fell directly into the On the face of a zombie?"

Feng Ling shook her head stiffly.

Sarah blinked: "...Oh, yes, I forgot, it seems that Yang Guoqin ordered not to spread this matter. Anyway, if we are lucky, the place where we landed is not dangerous. If we are not lucky, we may run into danger head-on .”

Sarah: "You have to learn a lot in the future, not only how to work in a supermarket, but also how to shoot a gun."

"The treatment given by the supermarket is not bad. If you like reading, the boss can even search for online courses for you. As long as you complete the work you should do."

"After signing the contract, you can't go back on your word. The boss should have told you about this. If you resign, you have to say hello one month in advance." Sarah looked like Feng Ling after speaking, "Do you have any questions?"

Feng Ling opened her mouth, but asked an irrelevant question, she asked in a low voice, "Little sister, how old are you?"

This serious look doesn't look like a child imitating an adult at all, it's not cute, it just makes one's scalp tingle.

Cao'er: "My sister is over 400 years old, she is a monster."

Feng Ling blinked.

She won't be in the den of mental patients, will she?

I have never heard from my companions that the employees in the supermarket have mental problems!

Feng Ling didn't dare to provoke Cao'er and Sarah, but her body was leaning against the wall, as if she could run if something went wrong.

"Let's go." Sarah took Cao'er's hand, and the two of them didn't look at Feng Ling any more, leaving her space and time to slowly digest what she had just done.

Feng Ling thought it was very strange here.

And no one had ever told her it was so strange here.

After Cao'er and Sarah left, Feng Ling hurriedly walked towards the gate of the supermarket—but she stood in front of the gate, but she didn't open it to go out.

What can she do after going out?Go back and continue to be a drag on your friends?

Feng Ling stopped, and her face was reflected in the glass.

Fear and bewilderment were written all over his face, but he gradually returned to calm.

So what if they are all mentally ill?Is she better than a mental patient?She may not be able to do what the patient can do.

In short, since she has come, she is not going to go back and continue to be a burden.

Feng Ling walked into the warehouse with the water basin - she also had her own bed in the warehouse, surrounded by curtains on all sides, using cloth that can block light, which can be regarded as keeping a little privacy for everyone.

The water basin and toiletries are all distributed by the supermarket, free of charge, and there is no need to deduct points.

The warehouse is very large, and there is a unique smell of goods inside, like the smell of cardboard boxes. The old people often clean it when they are free, so the warehouse is kept very clean.

Feng Ling didn't dare to talk to other people, she got into the curtain but didn't sleep, she just stared blankly at the lamp above her head.

The chatter of other people came from outside the curtain.

"I don't know what the next small world will look like."

"The fairy said that there might be monsters everywhere!"

"And said they might all look like Sarah, with blond hair and blue eyes."

"Maybe red hair, green eyes, too."

"Only monsters can grow so many colors."

"But I see young people here also dye their hair."

"Last time I saw a young man whose hair was dyed green. If it weren't for his eyes being the same color as ours, I would have thought he was a monster."

……

Feng Ling listened to them talking, and the more she listened, the more frightened she became - the tone of their chat was so strange that they didn't look like people here at all.

Sometimes he speaks too fast with a strange accent.

She felt like Alice, except that instead of falling into Wonderland, she fell into some strange world.

Feng Ling hugged her legs, her chin rested on her knees, and the face of the boss appeared in her mind.

The boss's words seemed to ring in his ears again.

"You should read the notes carefully, and don't rush to sign." The boss emphasized several times when he handed over the contract to her.

Feng Ling took out the copy of the contract under the pillow.

She didn't look carefully when she signed the contract - she just wanted to have a job and something to eat, and don't keep it as a burden.

What's more, her companions have worked in the supermarket for so long and have told her what kind of person the boss is.

He was tolerant, not very angry, and it may be that no one has touched his bottom line yet.

Although he doesn't get in touch with employees often, he has never given a variety of benefits.

Such a person is hardly a bad person.

Feng Ling opened the contract and looked at the precautions on the second page. The first line under the title of the precautions was:

[Please note: This supermarket is a plane supermarket. Employees voluntarily agree to jump to the plane after signing, and can only return to the original plane after the employment contract is terminated. 】

Feng Ling's eyes widened, but before she could smack the words carefully, she heard a voice from outside the curtain: "This is the beginning!"

"Look at the window! I didn't look carefully last time!"

……

Feng Ling carefully opened the curtain and looked at the window.

If there was nothing wrong with her eyes and no one was playing mischief outside the window.

What she saw at this time was the ever-changing scenery outside the window in milliseconds.

Feng Ling put her hand on her face, and she squeezed it.

Hey, it doesn't hurt, are you dreaming now?

"You don't pinch it hard enough." Cao'er approached with a kind face, "I'll help you."

After speaking, he pinched Feng Ling's left cheek.

Before Feng Ling had time to say thank you, she screamed like ghosts and wolves.

Not dreaming.
