Chapter 154 Shiqiao Town
However, Si Yuan and Mu Wanwan had done so much for the people of Ruilan, and the emperor was in his prime, so the civil and military officials had no objection to the two of them going out for fun.
As for the people, although the supermarket has closed, they are not affected at all because of the transaction machines.
Instead, the things sold by the Crown Princess made their lives more convenient.
........................
A strange thing happened in Shiqiao Town today. Li Shu and his family of three found a shop called "Wanwan Grocery Store" at the entrance of the town.
They fled to Shiqiao Town from other towns. After living here for a few days, they became familiar with the layout of the town.
In this world, when money is no longer in circulation, how can one still open a shop?
The decoration style was something they had never seen before. The windows were all transparent, like glass, but clearer than glass.
Through the glazed windows, you can see rows of shelves filled with colorful goods.
A woman as beautiful as a fairy walked out of the store with a few people, claiming to be the owner of the store.
Judging from the way these people are dressed, they are obviously not ordinary people.
In their current situation, even the current emperor is so hungry that he is pale and thin. How can anyone maintain such a wealthy appearance?
The sudden appearance of the shop made the Li Shu family a little bit unbelievable.
But their stomachs were growling with hunger, and they didn't care much even if the owner of the shop was a goblin.
If they can't find food, they will starve to death, so they might as well go in and try their luck.
"Miss, is there any food for sale here?" Li Shu asked courageously.
Mu Wanwan and the others saw someone lingering outside the door from the supermarket surveillance camera, so they went out to greet them.
These people were wearing tattered clothes, had messy hair, and their faces were covered with dust. It was obvious that they had experienced a lot of hardships.
"Our store has everything. Gold, silver, and jewelry can all be exchanged." Mu Wanwan smiled slightly and motioned them to enter the store.
"Shu'er, wait, there might be something strange about this store." Li Shu's mother grabbed her arm.
Gold and silver are no longer in circulation, yet this boss actually says that only gold and silver can be exchanged for food.
I'm afraid they're being treated as food! She's seen everything in this world!
"Mom, I'll go in and take a look. You wait for me outside! If anything happens, I'll run out immediately!" Li Shu comforted Li's mother. If she continued to be so hungry, her mother might not be able to bear it.
"But..." Li's mother wanted to stop him, but she had no strength in her body and could only lean weakly on Li's father's shoulder.
"Shu'er, be careful!" Father Li supported Mother Li, his eyes filled with worry.
"Dad, take good care of Mom." Li Shu left a word and turned to step into Wanwan Grocery Store.
As soon as Li Shu stepped into the store, he was dazzled by the goods in the store.
Those products were in packaging she had never seen before. Just as she was about to go in and take a closer look, Xiaoyou stopped her.
"Miss, welcome to our supermarket. You need a membership card to enter. Please follow me."
Li Shu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what membership was, but still followed Xiaoyou to the membership machine.
"Girl, please face this black round hole." Xiaoyou pointed to the camera on the membership machine.
Then he asked Li Shu to blink and shake his head left and right according to the prompts of the membership machine.
After asking for Li Shu's name, she entered her personal information into the system.
Although Xiaoyou and his friends have learned a lot of modern knowledge, they still have only a vague understanding of pinyin input.
For this purpose, Taotao has updated its system, and now both membership machines and transaction machines support handwriting input.
"Miss, the membership card has been processed. Do you want to recharge it now? Our supermarket will recharge gold and silver into this card and exchange it for electronic currency. In the future, you only need to show your membership card when shopping." Xiaoyou explained patiently.
This is their first customer in this time and space, she must treat him well, the supermarket's publicity depends on these customers!
Li Shu was completely bewildered, having never seen a high-tech product like a membership machine before. "I only have this bracelet on me. Do you think it's okay?"
She took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, opened it, and revealed an exquisite jade bracelet. One could tell it was worth a fortune just by looking at its quality.
"Of course. You put the jade bracelet here." Xiaoyou pointed to the scanning area of the membership machine.
Li Shu put the bracelet on carefully, and a string of text appeared on the screen of the machine.
[A jade bracelet of excellent quality and pure texture, of unknown age. Convertible electronic currency: [Do you want to exchange?]]
Mu Wanwan looked at Xiaoyou with satisfaction. Xiaoyou's business skills were getting better and better.
Seeing the number on the transaction machine, I was also shocked. This jade bracelet is actually worth so much electronic currency!
Some people in Ruilan Dynasty had exchanged jade articles on the membership machine, but they had never seen such a large amount of currency exchanged.
"My wife, our ring is more valuable than this!" Si Yuan whispered in Mu Wanwan's ear. Looking at Mu Wanwan's money-loving look, he knew what she was thinking.
Mu Wanwan glared at Si Yuan and touched the ring on her hand. The value of their wedding ring could not be measured.
Nothing could compare to the ring on her finger.
Li Shu didn't know what this number meant. This bracelet was left to her by her grandmother. If it weren't for her parents, she wouldn't have taken it out.
Things like gold and silver have long been unusable, so naturally they didn't bring anything with them when they fled.
Li Shu bit his lower lip tightly. Although he was reluctant, he knew that this was the only way.
"Please help me exchange it." She raised her head and looked at Xiaoyou firmly.
"Girl, just click here to redeem it." Xiaoyou pointed to the 'yes' under the line of words.
Li Shu pressed his finger lightly on the screen.
[Redeem successful]
After the redemption is successful at the membership machine, the jade bracelet disappears instantly.
"Miss, this is your membership card!" Xiaoyou handed the membership card to Li Shu with a smile, "You can go in now and choose the items you want. When you're done, come back here and I'll help you check out. In addition, this supermarket provides meals and accommodation.
"If you need anything, you can come to me!" Xiaoyou kindly pointed to the location of the restaurant.
The restaurant's door is inside the supermarket. Taotao opened a door on the side of the supermarket and converted the shop next door into a restaurant.
"I just want to buy some food now, I don't want anything else!" Li Shu didn't know if the money in his membership card was enough for a meal.
She might have liked this place very much before the natural disaster, but now, she just wanted to find some food to fill her stomach as soon as possible. Any other enjoyment was a luxury to her.
