Plane Supermarket

Chapter 147

Countless commodities were placed on the shelves, and the eldest son of the farmer held the silver coins tightly, his eyes fell on the oil tank, and his eyes were straight.

Salt and sugar seem to lose their appeal at this moment, and there is nothing more attractive than oil in the whole supermarket.

Farmers here do not raise cattle, sheep and pigs. Although every household raises chickens and ducks, they have to be sold for money. Even if it is eggs, if you save ten, your family may not be able to eat one. Animal oil There are too few ways to obtain it. If you spend money to buy it, you will not be able to live at home.

As for vegetable oil, due to limited oil extraction technology and extremely low oil yield, the price of buying it is not much cheaper than animal oil. If it is squeezed by itself, the time and energy cost to farmers is far greater than the harvest.

After all, spending the same amount of time and energy on farming can fill one's stomach, and oil extraction can only see a little oil star when eating.

But people's desire for fat will not be relieved because they can't eat it all year round, but it will become heavier.

The eldest son's gaze had already been locked on the oil tank, and he stared at the tank obsessively, as if it was a temptation that no one in the world could resist.

The farmer followed his son's gaze, and the father and son swallowed in unison.

The peasant woman patted her husband on the back and said forcefully, "Don't look, we are here to buy salt and sugar. If we want to buy oil, we have to sell you."

The youngest daughter whispered, "Maybe it's not that expensive?"

"A pot of salt costs four silver coins outside, but there are only two here. Maybe the oil here is also very cheap."

Peasant woman: "Outside, a tank of oil costs fourteen silver coins. Even if it is half less, it will cost seven silver coins. Do you know how long it will take to save seven silver coins? Let's buy more salt and go back. As long as we keep it, we can use it all the time. What about the oil? "

The peasant woman sighed: "It's not that I won't let you..."

She was inexplicably angry: "Forget it! If you want to buy it, buy it, as long as you don't regret it later."

The eldest son immediately picked up a can of oil from the shelf, carefully carried the can and ran to Feng Ling who was standing aside. He had just stood still, and immediately lowered his head the moment he saw Feng Ling's eyes.

They have never seen a person like Feng Ling before. Her body is clean, there is not a single patch on her clothes, her skin is not as rough as theirs, her face has no freckles, and her raised hands have no calluses.

It's almost the same as the noble ladies in big towns in the rumors.

Because I had never seen it before, I couldn't hide my curiosity and slight fear.

"How many silver coins does this... this tank of oil cost?" the eldest son asked.

Feng Ling replied with a smile: "Five silver coins."

The eldest son's eyes widened in disbelief, only five!Although five silver coins were a huge sum of money for them, compared to fifteen, the cheap ones were like giving away for nothing, and it seemed that they were at a loss if they didn't buy them.

"Five!" The eldest son turned around and shouted at his family, "Mom! Only five silver coins!"

"We'll buy one can of oil, five more salt and one sugar!"

The family looked at each other, but the peasant woman stopped talking and acquiesced to the eldest son's request.

Feng Ling asked: "Is there anything else I need? Besides oil, sugar and salt, there are other things, such as cloth and clothing, various spices and condiments, as well as tableware and various tools. The prices are not expensive. If you’re in a hurry, you can take a look.”

"If you think the price is unaffordable, you won't lose anything just by looking at it."

She had a sincere smile on her face, as if she was not persuading people to consume, but caring for these strangers who met for the first time.

The family looked at the smile on Feng Ling's face.

Just take a look...it should be nothing, right?

Is it okay not to buy it?

There is still so much time, just broaden your horizons.

"Why haven't they come out yet?" The people at the city gate looked anxiously at the supermarket.

After the family went in, no one else went in. They were very cautious, and as time went by, countless conjectures began to emerge.

"Couldn't they have been captured as slaves?"

"Probably not? The slaves are not worth as much as the paintings they send out."

"That's right! I heard that paintings are very valuable, and paints are very expensive. Such bright paints must be worth a lot of money."

"Then... what will they be taken to do?"

People were clamoring, feeling that the family had been killed, yet unwilling to leave, in the bleak hope that what was on the leaflets was true, that they could get their necessities on the cheap.

"Come out!" Someone yelled suddenly.

The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down. Everyone squeezed forward and stretched their necks to see the family of four coming out of the supermarket.

The rattan frame they carried was gone, the cloth bag and the hairband on the girl's head were gone.

But what they lost was nothing compared to what they gained.

Holding them in their arms and holding them in their hands, everyone seemed to have just come out of the dragon's cave, because the things they took out were too many and heavy, and the speed was not very fast.

The whole family had smiles on their faces, their not-so-white teeth showing, and they hugged the things in their arms tightly.

Before they walked out of the city gate, people from a village surrounded them.

"Didn't you just bring twelve silver coins? How could you buy so many things?"

"Are the people inside fierce?"

"How do you buy things? There are so many besides salt and sugar?"

……

Fearing that the things in their hands would be knocked off, the family struggled to protect the jar in their arms. The eldest son shouted: "Go in quickly! There are not many things in it, and you won't be able to buy them if you go late!"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the farmers who asked the question shut up. After two seconds of silence, everyone rushed towards the supermarket.

"Quick! Quick! Come in!"

"Don't be robbed by others!"

·

"It's been a long time since I saw a customer." Ye Zhou was standing in the monitoring room. He was drinking milk tea and watching the video in the monitoring with great interest. The customers who seemed particularly enthusiastic at the entrance of the supermarket just now were all honest after they came in.

It may be that the environment of the supermarket is too strange, and people have turned into docile sheep one after another, and go to the corresponding shelves under the guidance of the shopping guide.

only……

Ye Zhou sighed, and said to Chen Shu who was beside him, "If you earn money at this rate, you probably won't be able to earn enough to leave here in 100 years."

The consumption power of peasant households is limited, and they have nothing of value.

All that was bought was necessities such as salt, sugar, and cloth.

But things that can make money are usually unnecessary luxuries, such as wine and some weird handicrafts that cannot be produced here, but farmers will never buy them, and they have no money to buy them.

Even if he is really a black-hearted capitalist, he can't squeeze out any money from these farmers.

Ye Zhou held his chin and said to Chen Shu: "I feel that money from merchants and nobles is easy to earn."

Ye Zhou didn't want to take the supermarket around. Trouble and tiredness were trivial matters. If he had to deal with the local nobles every time he went, he was afraid that he would become mentally weak sooner or later.

Chen Shu: "When I inquired before, people nearby said that merchants would come to sell things on the last day of every month, but no matter what kind of big merchants they were, they were all small merchants, and they brought very little. Come here to buy goods, and there is no purchasing power.”

Although Chen Shu didn't want to pour cold water on Ye Zhou, although it was peaceful here, it was indeed poor.

The handicraft industry can't support market demand at all, and farmers have exhausted all their energy just farming, and have no financial resources at all.

Jiang Taigong's fishing method is useful in other planes, but not in this plane.

Ye Zhou sat on the chair, and reluctantly agreed with Chen Shu's words: "I guess I'll be here for a while."

Chen Shu quickly came up with a plan: "Why don't you find some people from here and go to other towns to sell goods? You can always catch... No, you can attract rich people."

"This kind of person is not easy to find." Ye Zhou sighed.

After experiencing so many planes, Ye Zhou has gotten used to the natives not wanting to leave the place where they live.

The outside world is unknown, and unknown means countless possible dangers.

People yearn for the beauty of the unknown and fear the threat of the unknown. Even if most people want to go out, they will give up in the end.

Chen Shu: "The young people in the nearby villages are probably willing. I have observed that these villages have more men than women. Most young men cannot marry wives. Marrying a wife requires financial resources, fields, food and houses. If they keep planting land, you will never be able to marry a wife.”

"In order to get married and have children, even their parents will allow them to go out and take risks." Chen Shu.

Ye Zhou looked at Chen Shu with a smile on his face: "Then trouble you to see who is suitable."

Chen Shu said angrily: "I promise to complete the task!"

"By the way, boss, where did Zou Ming and Sarah go? I haven't seen them for two days, and today is the third day?" Chen Shu was a little surprised, "Aren't they on bad terms?"

Ye Zhou: "No, they have a good relationship. I asked Zou Ming to accompany Sarah to look for the duchess."

Chen Shu looked at Ye Zhou incredulously: "Do you think they have a good relationship? Why!"

Could it be that the boss's eyes are covered with gum? !

Ye Zhou also looked at Chen Shu strangely: "Although they used to fight a lot, they all paid attention to propriety. It's normal for good friends to do this, right? It's just that Zou Ming is relatively indifferent, but he is very indifferent to everyone. .”

Chen Shu: "...boss, you really have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering the beautiful side of things."

Ye Zhou was a little puzzled, but still thought it was a compliment, he nodded, and unceremoniously put gold on his face: "Yes, I have always been like this."

Chen Shu sighed silently, not understanding from what angle Ye Zhou looked at people.

She said listlessly: "Then I'll go out first, boss."

Ye Zhou nodded: "Go out and have a good rest, after that you have to choose someone."

After Chen Shu withdrew, Ye Zhou picked up his teacup and took a sip.

On the muddy road outside the town, a family of four couldn't help grinning as they walked towards home.

They talked excitedly about everything in the supermarket, including the employees.

"I thought they were ladies or servants of noble families!" The farmer opened his eyes wide, "Tell me, they look at so many good things every day, can you just take them?"

The peasant woman was speechless: "Can those maids who work in the nobles' homes take the nobles' things casually? They will be hanged!"

"We can eat this salt for several years!" The peasant woman couldn't help raising her voice, "I'll give a jar to my parents, and they won't be willing to buy salt."

The eldest son: "Then you might as well let them bring their own money to buy, so that they can buy more."

It was the first time that the peasant woman didn't scold her son, she nodded: "Yes, that's the way it should be, I'm going to inform my brother and sister to let them buy more too."

"I don't know how long this store will be open."

"There are so many things in it, it should be open for a long time, right?"

"By the way, I found that there were no people in that town at all, and it's now an empty town."

"Could we move to the town?" the younger sister asked, leaning over to her mother.

The peasant woman shook her head: "The town looks good now, what if something goes wrong? It will be too late to leave."

The farmer echoed: "Yes, this is up to your mother."

The eldest son suddenly said: "If we buy something in this supermarket, and then go to a town farther away to sell it..."

His eyes lit up suddenly: "I sell a pot of salt for two silver coins, and sugar for four, so that I can build a new house soon!"

Now that he had an idea, the eldest son immediately pushed his sister away and walked closer to his mother: "Mom."

Peasant woman: "It's too dangerous! There may be robbers on the road, and there may be wild animals! Even if there is no danger on the road, if you go to the town, the merchants in the town may hurt you. What if a noble lord steals your things? The family has run out of money!"

The eldest son was unwilling to give up, and he kept saying: "I'm getting married soon, so Mira and I can't live with you all the time, can we? There are only three rooms in our house, and my room is so small that I can't even fit in the closet..."

The younger sister immediately said, "I can't fit the wardrobe in my room!"

The eldest son glared at her, and continued: "Even if I can squeeze now, what if I have children in the future? Let the children sleep on the roof? Even if we don't have children, our family's fields are only so much. After Mira comes , even if she is able to work, our food will not increase."

"By then we'll all be eating less than we are now."

Eldest son: "You are willing to go hungry, but I am not."

"No!" The peasant woman said firmly, "No matter what you say, I will not agree."

Eldest son: "Mom!"

The younger sister suddenly said: "Then why don't you let my brother go alone? Don't go to the town, just sell it in another village."

The peasant woman was silent.

The eldest son strikes while the iron is hot: "Mom, our house hasn't been repaired for many years. When it rains, I can't sleep in my room at all. So is your room? As long as you have money, you can also build a new house."

"When the time comes, Mira and I will build a house not far from home."

The peasant woman glanced at her husband who had been pretending that he didn't exist: "Say it."

The farmer whispered: "Let him try it. I will accompany him for the first time. You don't have to worry about it when he has experience."

The peasant woman took a deep breath: "Well, for Mira's sake."

The eldest son shouted excitedly.

He will never plant a lifetime!
