"And..." Liu Ren continued,
Li Shimin raised an eyebrow and asked softly, "And what?"
Liu Ren frowned, "And this shopkeeper has terrifying strength."
"These things require five of us to carry back, and we're all exhausted."
"But the owner of Ruyi Supermarket, with just one hand, can lift these hundreds of pounds of goods effortlessly."
Li Shimin furrowed his brows without speaking.
This kind of strength could be considered innate divine power.
Even Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, who followed him in conquering the world, didn't have such great strength.
Liu Ren continued, "By the way, Your Majesty, the shopkeeper also said that there will be new goods on the shelves in his supermarket tomorrow."
"New goods?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up. "Tomorrow, you must go over and see what kind of exquisite items there are."
"Also, you must quickly investigate the identity of this shopkeeper and report back to me. I want to see who this person who emerged from nowhere is..."
Liu Ren nodded heavily.
Looking at the matches scattered all over the ground, solar-powered night lights, and fish tofu.
Li Shimin couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva...
Oh no, he entered contemplation. How should these things be used?
**The next day.**
Liu Ren was waiting outside the Ruyi Supermarket early in the morning.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky, and the whole street began to bustle, that the door of Ruyi Supermarket slowly opened.
"Boss, why did you sleep so late?" Seeing Lin Shen looking a bit sleepy, Liu Ren's tone was somewhat helpless.
He had never seen someone doing business like this.
In the business world of the Great Tang, people opened their shops as soon as it was barely light, fearing they might miss customers.
Opening a little later could mean earning a little more money.
But looking at Lin Shen, he seemed to have slept until he naturally woke up, having a good night's sleep...
Lin Shen stretched lazily, "If I don't sleep enough, I won't feel good. Why did you come so early?"
Liu Ren scratched his head, "You said there would be several new items on the shelves today, so my master asked me to come early and see what kind of things they are."
"Your goods are all so novel..."
Lin Shen pointed to a shelf on the side, "They are all there, go and take a look yourself."
Liu Ren walked over to take a look.
On that shelf, in addition to the three items he bought yesterday, there were three new items.
The leader was a square box with simple characters printed on it.
Soap (Fresh Mint Flavor).
This puzzled Liu Ren.
He knows what mint is, it's a chewing gum used for leisure.
But now that there's fish tofu, he prefers to use fish tofu to pass the time during breaks, rather than chewing mint leaves that can wear out his teeth.
Liu Ren casually opened the box and took out the contents.
It was a somewhat dry but very delicate piece.
He couldn't tell what this thing was for.
Liu Ren held up the item and asked Lin Shen, "Boss, what is this thing?"
Lin Shen looked up and casually explained, "That thing is called soap, used for cleaning. It's much better than soapberry and wood ash, cleans well, and has a fragrance."
"But let me tell you, if you open that, you'll have to buy it."
"One or two silvers per box."
Hiss—
Liu Ren took a deep breath.
Such a small thing costs one or two silvers?
He really suffered a big loss due to his own curiosity!
Liu Ren carefully placed the soap aside. For a one or two silver item, he must cherish it and use it sparingly.
He reached out and picked up the kitchen knife placed next to the soap.
It was heavy in his hand.
The smooth blade could almost reflect his figure.
Beautiful snowflake patterns adorned it.
This caught his eye.
He was an expert in knives. As soon as he held it, he could tell the quality of a knife.
This peculiar-looking knife was no worse in quality than his personal weapon.
The knife he had was crafted by a master of the forging bureau.
Although it couldn't compare to the famous knives and swords in the world.
But it was a top-notch quality knife.
