006 Artificial meat
An 80-gram can of canned beef costs 500 yuan per unit.
A pack of 40 grams of vacuum horse meat jerky costs 300 yuan per unit.
Lu Ping had a total of 1,200 yuan, which happened to buy a can of canned beef and two packs of horse meat jerky. The remaining 100 yuan planned to buy 20 portions of synthetic food puree on the way back to keep at home as a regular ration.
The clerk of Liaoyuan Food is a short-haired girl wearing a British-style school uniform. She has a small uniform suit on her upper body, a pleated skirt on her lower body, and a bright logo on her chest. Even though she is sitting behind the glass counter, her back is still straight and her shoulders are naturally back.
The shoulders and neck form an elegant stretched line. It is easy to see that it is a posture that has been well educated and trained.
Even though Lupine was dressed in shabby clothes and looked like she was from a poor family, she did not show any disdain and wore a decent smile throughout.
The shopping was quick. After coming out of the food store, Lu Ping stood on the street and couldn't wait to tear open a pack of horse meat jerky and put it into his mouth to chew.
It's dry, salty, hard, and doesn't seem to have any meaty flavor...
This was Lupine's first feeling.
He felt a little strange, but still convinced himself that in today's world, most places are not suitable for the survival of earth creatures. These dried meats are probably produced by some distant farms and transported thousands of miles... In order to facilitate transportation and
To extend the shelf life, it is inevitable to make this kind of salty and hard jerky.
But when he swallowed, Lu Ping's expression changed slightly.
[Obtain 17% of the "soybean" gene...]
[Acquire 2.2% of the "potato" gene...]
[Acquire 1.6% of the "mouse" gene...]
Looking at the series of prompts on the interface, Lu Ping frowned deeply.
No horsemeat gene?
He didn't quite believe that there was an error in the game system. In other words, this was not horse meat jerky at all, but something made from a mixture of soy protein, potato starch and a small amount of mouse meat?
Artificial meat?
Lu Ping did not eat another piece of "horse meat jerky", but opened the canned beef with a "sizzle". The 80g canned beef contained only about four or five slightly moist cubes of soft meat... He pinched it
Put a piece into your mouth, chew it twice and then swallow it.
Lu Ping also ate beef in his previous life, but this time he tasted nothing of it.
[Acquired 9.5% of the "soybean" gene...]
[Obtain 3.1% of the "cockroach" gene...]
[Obtain 0.7% of the "black pepper" gene...]
"Ahem..." Lu Ping retched and coughed several times, but could not spit out what he had swallowed.
Lu Ping turned around suddenly and looked at the bright facade of Liaoyuan Food Store, unable to conceal his anger in his eyes.
"Crash", the store door was pushed open.
The shop assistant girl still looked over with a smile: "Sir, do you need anything else?"
"The two things I just bought from you are not real meat." Lu Ping put the canned beef and horse meat jerky on the counter and pushed them directly in front of her.
"That's impossible," the girl, the clerk, didn't even look at it, shook her head and laughed, "Our products are all certified by the food quality department."
"But there is no beef or horse meat in it! This is fraud and I want a full refund."
"The package has been opened and cannot be refunded... Besides, what basis do you have?" The girl in the store shrugged, "If I remember correctly, you just bought it a few minutes ago. Did you just take a few bites?
Have you come to a conclusion? Oh, I forgot to remind you that this kind of original high-end food is different from those cheap synthetic food purees. If you are used to the taste of artificial flavors, you will indeed feel like this kind of original food.
The taste is slightly off…”
"But this imperfect taste is the essence of original ecological ingredients..."
Looking at the confident and eloquent girl, Lu Ping felt as if he had heard a big joke.
If he was really the old Lupine who had never eaten "high-end food" in his life, he might really be deceived by the other party and believe in such rhetoric as "original ingredients have this taste".
But now he knows very well that the other party is just talking nonsense!
Lupine has eaten much more raw food than any upper class person in this world.
"Are you sure you don't want to return it? The stuff is still there. If I go for a test, it can be easily proven..." Lu Ping narrowed his eyes.
"Then you can call the police, or go to any institution for testing." The smile of the clerk girl finally disappeared, replaced by a cold and sarcastic expression, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, if it is finally verified that it is your problem
, then our store will also pursue you for the reputational damage caused!... I hope you can afford it."
Lu Ping raised his eyebrows slightly.
According to his character, he was naturally unwilling to give up, but for a second before touching the electronic bracelet, he suppressed the idea.
Because he finally remembered the virtues of the upper class in this world.
The police, various official agencies, and businessmen are all inextricably linked...
Having money can make everything go round, but having no money makes it difficult to move forward!
Looking for an institution for testing? Not to mention that the testing fee is not a small amount, and even the testing results may not be objective and true...
Call the police? That’s even more unpleasant. The police officers don’t even bother to call the police when a poor person dies, let alone such a trivial matter?
If he really calls the police, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a kind of teasing and provocation. At the least, the operator will scold him on the phone, at worst, he will be labeled as disturbing the social order, and it is not impossible to handcuff him directly...
"My thinking still hasn't changed..." Lu Ping sighed secretly.
It is perfectly normal to buy fake goods before traveling and ask for a refund or even compensation.
But in this world... Looking at the coldness and anger in the eyes of the clerk girl, Lu Ping realized that maybe the other party really thought that the polite smile she gave him at the beginning was already a great "gift", and he
If you still dare to come back and ask for a return, you don’t know the heights of the world!
"There's nothing more to say." Lu Ping put away the two items, took a deep look at the store, and then strode away.
Might makes right...since this is the rule of this world.
Then one day, we can use the rules of this world to solve the problem.

After Lupine left, a fat hand patted the clerk girl's shoulder.
"Dad?" The girl turned around and shouted in surprise.
Behind her stood a short, chubby, middle-aged man with a smile, like a naive panda.
"Good girl, are you angry?" The fat boss smiled and rubbed the girl's head, "Are you offended by that untouchable boy?"
The girl who was the clerk pouted and said nothing.
"My good daughter gave up a comfortable and luxurious life to come to the Lower Tenth District to accompany me. How could I let you suffer any more injustice... Don't worry, I will teach that boy a 'profound' lesson." The pudgy boss
He tapped on the electronic bracelet and quickly made a call and said a few words.
The girl then smiled.
Both of them quickly put what had just happened behind them.
On the street not far away, Lu Ping threw the remaining "high-end food" directly into the trash can, and bought 20 boxes of synthetic food purees of different flavors from a roadside stall, a full 10kg, and used one
Carrying the bag.
On the way home, I passed through a dark alley and suddenly noticed five or six shirtless young men with tattoos and strange eyes at the intersection in front of me.
When I turned around... there were several figures behind me holding baseball bats and butterfly knives, slowly approaching with malicious intent.
"Am I... blocked?" Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat.
He turned out to be a low-key and cowardly boy, with no enemies, and he didn't look like a rich man... He wasn't seeking revenge, nor was he seeking wealth. 80% of the time, the other party was here for him.
Is it the Liaoyuan Food Store just now?
Or...the group of people in the underground clinic?
Lu Ping's mind was spinning rapidly, and he looked up at the same time.
This is a typical garbage alley, which is very common in the Lower Ten Districts. The original camera has been deliberately smashed by someone who is interested. In such a dark and chaotic place, it is strange that the camera can be intact, and the people in power do not seem to waste it.
