Chapter 227 The Power of Money

Just like that, time passed day by day.
Life is always uneventful.
There are no disasters, no disputes, just busy and fulfilling work.
This made Lu Yuan quite uncomfortable.
Perhaps, this is an ordinary day in Pangea.
A time of disaster that comes every few years is gone forever.
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Yuan's experiences in the first half of his life were too thrilling, and it seemed that disasters in Pangea were too frequent.
But in fact, it seems that it is not that exaggerated, otherwise no civilization could develop.
Occasionally, Lu Yuan would look at the blue sky and "collapse" for a while.
Deep in his heart, there is still a glimmer of hope to return to his distant, beautiful hometown...
Perhaps, everyone is looking for childhood throughout their lives.
Lu Yuan still wanted to see his parents in his lifetime and chat with them about everything that happened to him.
As for the Sky City's rise plan, the long progress bar has finally... moved a little bit? About one percent?
The owners of more than 300 divine skills are indeed very diligent, learning and working at the same time, and growing in practice.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as there are a few hundred talents who stand out, the entire civilization will be driven by a small group of people to make better and faster use of the legacy of green civilization.
It's like a snowball.
There must be a small push at the beginning, and then the snowball will get bigger and bigger.
.
And today is an important step in the snowballing process - the official opening of Luyin Supermarket!
"Wei Hao Wei, Luyin Supermarket is offering a big opening discount! All products are 20% off!"
A loudspeaker is hung at the entrance of the supermarket and broadcasts continuously.
"If you pass by, don't miss it."
"Abide by order and line up!"
"Stealing in a supermarket is a crime of theft!"
And the door was crowded with a dark crowd, everyone was eagerly looking forward to it and discussing.
"Where did the food come from?!"
"How much does it cost per pound?"
There are just too many questions.
The term "supermarket" has been the most popular word in the past month.
But what exactly is it? Everyone only knows it is a place to sell things and a place where you can spend money.
【Green Supermarket】, these four gilt characters are shining brightly in the sun.
"There's nothing new in the market." Sha Sanli waved the fan in his hand helplessly and said harshly, "You young people are just ignorant... When the empire was digging gold mines here, there weren't many markets.
What? Everyone is setting up street stalls on the roadside."
"Elder, this time is different, it's really different." The intellectual, Sha Mo, gave up and said with a smile: "This supermarket is opened by Mr. Lu, and there are so many things. You can buy whatever you want, as long as
You have money."
"What... there are so many things? The next batch of grain is not yet mature. How can it be conjured out of thin air? How much can he grow by himself?"
Of course, as he kept mumbling, he definitely wanted to take a look.
Because, just today, Sha Sanli just got his first "civil servant" payment - 200 yuan!
In order to promote "compulsory education", he was so worried that he turned gray!
At least he had some popularity, and with the intimidation of force, he managed to do this job well.
200 yuan...200 kilograms of grain!
He is going to...buy all the food!
What is held in the hand is real!
Money is useless!
.
As for other people who have some money on hand, it is obvious that they think the same way.
They were really frightened of hunger and all they wanted to do was store food.


"Will it succeed? I'm a little nervous..."
“Can a large supermarket change people’s ideology?”
Conch has indeed worked too hard these days and has become a bit thin.
Lu Yuan asked her to rest, but she was unwilling to do so. She kept nagging "Why do people need to sleep and rest?" and "Why can't we play all the time?" - maybe it was because her previous soul state did not require sleep?
In the end, Lu Yuan used the reason that "if you don't sleep, your skin will get worse, aging will be accelerated, and C will turn into A", he finally scared her into having a normal schedule.
Lu Yuan was very grateful to her. Without conch, the situation might have been a hundred times more difficult than it is now.
"Don't worry, this is proven by history."
"During the earth's time, there used to be a country called the Soviet Union." Around the noisy square, Lu Yuan talked about the past history to his friends.
He has been looking forward to this day for a long time and works overtime every day, isn't it just for this moment?
A little tired, but also a little excited.
"The collapse of the Soviet Union was, to a certain extent, due to supermarkets."
"Why?" The old cat shook his head.
"Although the Soviet Union was a country with a strong military, the people's lives were not rich, and there were even many famines... They implemented a ticket supply system, and the supplies they supplied were limited."
"And their opponents, the Americans, carefully arranged a huge supermarket when their leaders visited."
"It includes everything you can have in daily life, in addition to food and drinks, there are also a large number of modern, automated leisure and entertainment products, including books, magazines, fruits, cans, as well as furniture such as washing machines and electric fans."
"In other words, as long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want, and there is an unlimited supply of supplies!"
"At that time, the leader of the Soviet Union, named Yeltsin, visited the United States."
"The leader and his entourage came to a newly opened supermarket."
"Looking at the dense crowds and dazzling array of products in the supermarket, the top leader of the Soviet Union was severely mentally shocked, thinking about the famine and poverty in his country... With such a powerful military, the people could not have enough to eat."
"His faith disappeared and he had no illusions about his country's system. He believed that the Soviet Union could not defeat the United States and should move closer to the West."
"And a few years later, this once great country collapsed with the disappearance of the belief of its top leader."
"You see, changing your thinking changes everything."
Lu Yuan spread his hands. In fact, he was a "Su fan" before, so he naturally understood the corresponding history.
People in Dadong Kingdom have a fascination with Big Brother - provided that Big Brother is dead. The dead Big Brother always helps to step into many pitfalls.
"The economy always determines a lot."
"And today is an important moment to correct their values!"
"Lvyin Supermarket is officially opened!"
"Boom"!
The supermarket door is opened!
The enthusiastic crowd was just about to swarm in when they saw two ferocious creatures guarding the door!
Those are two newly hatched "worms"!
Level 2 extraordinary life is not considered strong.
They look like a mantis, with their compound eyes reflecting human faces, and their two front legs are like sickles - of course, these two insects have no intelligence and will not attack rashly.
They are controlled by Lu Yuan and serve as free security here.
“Get in line!”
"Enter in an orderly manner!" The immortal giant turtle, as the security captain, roared loudly.
This old brother enjoyed it and couldn't help himself.
The crowd lined up interestingly.
Sha Sanli, as a prestigious old man in the village, was naturally at the front of the queue.
"I want to exchange all the money for food... There is no need to buy other things!" He squeezed the money tightly.
"Money has no use."
Immediately afterwards, he stepped into the supermarket door.
Then, hold your breath!
He saw.
A...a very big wooden barrel with mountains of corn kernels on it!
Every kernel of corn is extremely plump and exudes an attractive grain aroma!
Two good-looking young girls in uniforms stood guard next to the big wooden barrel, and there was a scale next to it.
"Isn't this Guo Cuicui and Guo Pingping? Can you sell the corn to me cheaper?" Sha Sanli tried to sell face.
The little girl smiled and said: "Uncle, I'm just a waiter, not a shopkeeper. We don't bargain here. Just buy as much as you want, weigh it, and then pay."
There are only a few staff in the supermarket. Guo Cuicui and Guo Pingping, two poor girls without parents, are considered to be the fastest to pass the literacy and arithmetic exams, so they were placed here.
No matter what, you have to be literate and arithmetic before you can apply for a job, right?
"How much?" Sha Sanli asked tentatively.
"Elder, corn is 1 yuan per catty."
"It's really 1 yuan per pound."
"A person can only buy a hundred catties a day, so don't buy too much." The girls looked at the dazed crowd and smiled as standard in the service industry.
"One hundred kilograms is enough, haha, I don't have much money either."
Next to it is a larger metal bucket filled with...flour?
A little more expensive, 1.5 yuan per pound.
Next to it, there is a box full of potatoes, too many to count.
The price is cheap, eighty cents per pound!
There are also breadfruit fruits, which I have never eaten before, and they cost 2 yuan a pound.
Just for a moment, Sha Sanli was stunned!
His eyes were wide open.
“This, this, this…where did so much food come from?”
"Why are you eating cactus when it's so cheap?!"
"Elder clan, was the market like this in the past?" asked a villager nearby.
Sha Sanli is a little embarrassed, could you please stop asking?
This scene profoundly explains that the essence of currency is a credit relationship. When the anchor of currency, food, appears, credit is stable enough, and everyone tends to hold the currency and wait and see.
With two hundred dollars in hand, which one should I buy?!
He felt that his heart was beating rapidly and he couldn't make up his mind.
Forget it, let’s see again!
No rush.
Sha Sanli threw the idea of ​​"buying all grain" out of the window.
Taking a few steps forward, he saw...scissors, kitchen knives, and many, many metal tools!
"Skinning knife: 28 yuan/piece"
"Chop knife: 29 yuan/piece"
"Scissors: 22 yuan/pair"
"Rake: 33 yuan/piece"
"Pitchfork, nail rake: 21 yuan/piece"
"Stainless steel washbasin: 18 yuan/piece"

Chapter completed!
