Jiang He found a suitable place, opened a supermarket, and changed the recording on the loudspeaker:
"Breaking News! Breaking News! Everyone, please come and look here! Shuguang Supermarket has a lot of great products waiting for you to buy!
What to do if your child is thirsty? The supermarket has clean mineral water and various iced drinks for you to choose from!
What should you do if your children are hungry? Just come to our Shuguang Supermarket. Here we have rice balls, bread, boxed lunches, hot pots, instant noodles, and eight-treasure porridge. A huge amount of food will allow you to satisfy your hunger and be yourself again!
..."
Listening to the supermarket's shouts, little Liu Zihao clutched his stomach and looked up pitifully:
"Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat some bread~"
Qiao Zhen's eyes were full of heartache, and she immediately promised him: "Eat, your father and I will definitely let you eat bread from the supermarket!"
After saying that, she and Liu Yue rummaged through the drawers and cabinets at home, finding everything that could be exchanged for points.
Before, they had only heard of the existence of Shuguang Supermarket, but many residents did not believe it, and even thought it was a lie made up by the leaders above.
The purpose is to prevent them from giving up hope and to artificially fabricate a belief that is worth persisting in.
Liu Yue and Qiao Zhen didn't take this matter seriously. They just thought of it as a story and naturally wouldn't go out to collect gold and silver jewelry.
Only when I happened to see things like gold rings and silver bracelets on the ground while doing a mission, would I pick them up with some subtle psychology and stuff them into the corner of the dormitory.
The couple picked up some jewelry by chance, but no matter how many times they counted them, they still couldn't find ten pieces.
Liu Yue frowned, feeling extremely regretful. "Tsk, if I had known earlier I would have picked up more. Now the outside is flooded and there is nowhere to pick up anything."
Qiao Zhen also felt regretful and patted the man on the back to comfort him: "Husband, don't think about it. Let's take our son downstairs quickly. If we are late, we won't even be able to grab a small bread."
The family of three changed into long sleeves and long pants, and wrapped the exposed skin with towels twice to make sure everything was safe before quickly opening the door and going downstairs.
Jiang He's parking skills are amazing. The entrance of the supermarket is facing the windowsill on the seventh floor. Residents line up inside and can go directly into the supermarket when they come out without worrying about being attacked by mutant snakes.
Qiao Zhen had a towel wrapped around her face and was sweating profusely in just a few minutes.
They lived on the ninth floor and left the house quite quickly, with more than twenty people queuing ahead of them.
When the team reached the seventh floor, the couple realized that their protective measures were completely unnecessary.
Shuguang Supermarket is so clean that it seems like another world. It is no exaggeration to say that the paradise they yearn for should look like this.
While waiting in line, the family of three stared at the goods on the shelves, and no one said a word from beginning to end.
All the customers entering the store today are new ones, and the Welcoming Bear is very busy. Sometimes he works as a shopping guide, and sometimes he has to run to the door to greet customers.
Welcome to Shuguang Supermarket!
Beautiful lady, handsome guy, please come in~"
Qiao Zhen and Liu Yue held their son's hand and walked into the supermarket in a trance, as if they had arrived in a paradise in a dream, with their feet feeling light and unreal.
Jiang He's eyebrows curved, and she maintained a friendly smile on her face: "New customers, please come to me to apply for a card first before you can come to shop."
The family of three followed the instructions and each of them applied for a points card.
Qiao Zhen, who was in charge of the family finances, divided the gold and silver jewelry among them and loaded them into each person's card.
As expected, the points earned from those jewelry only added up to about two thousand.
Qiao Zhen was so poor that she felt very disappointed.
Their family was clearly well-off before the end of the world, but when they moved, they didn't take any valuables with them. Now, look what happens, they have become a very poor family.
Jiang He pointed to the medicine bottles on the cash register and tried to sell them as usual:
"Want to buy a bottle of snake repellent powder? It's effective in repelling mutant snakes, and only 100 points a bottle. Super cost-effective!"
This product is sold in limited quantities, and anyone who can buy it is lucky.
Without saying anything, Qiao Zhen took the initiative and took three bottles.
She spent 300 points at once, which made her frown with pain.
But there is no other way. Snake repellent powder is what they urgently need now. After buying this, they can sleep much more peacefully at night.
I used the remaining thousand points to buy my son the small loaf of bread he had been longing for, and some essential medicines, and there was nothing left.
Leaving the shopping to his wife, Liu Yue stood in front of the big screen and carefully studied the information on it.
Catching the words "animal bones, animal skins", his eyes rolled, and he hurried to the cashier, asking excitedly:
"Boss Jiang, can mutant snakes also be exchanged for points?"
Hearing this, Jiang He nodded slowly: "Okay, but the specific number of points requires you to bring the items to the supermarket before we can give you an estimate."
Liu Yue's eyes lit up, and then another question came to his mind: "Do we need to process the mutant snake's skin and bones before sending it over?"
The supermarket has not yet purchased any animal bones or hides. Jiang He confirmed this with the system before looking up and answering him:
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s processed or not, but the price of processed ones will be slightly higher.
If you are not sure how to handle the skin and bones of the mutant beast, then I suggest you send it here directly.
Severely damaged animal bones and hides will also be discounted in price.”
Not everyone can make the profit from the price difference, it definitely requires some skills.
Liu Yue smiled brightly, as if he saw countless points waving at him, "I understand, thank you, Boss Jiang!"
After paying the bill, Qiao Zhen sighed helplessly as she saw the balance, which had not even warmed up yet, instantly become zero.
Xiao Zihao pulled her hand and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to sit on the stool."
Among the plastic bags that contained supplies for the family of three, only one bag of bread was edible, so there was actually no need to leave it in the supermarket dining area.
But Qiao Zhen couldn't bear to reject her son. She hid her negative emotions, touched his little head, and said softly:
"Okay, I'll take you to the bench."
Sitting down at the dining table, Qiao Zhen helped her son tear open the bread bag and let him eat it slowly in his hands.
When I turned around, I found that the man next to me was staring at something with his eyes wide open, and he was completely distracted.
"Husband, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Yue withdrew his thoughts, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at his wife who had been worrying about the points.
"I figured out how to earn points."
Seeing Qiao Zhen's confused face, Liu Yue immediately told her what had just happened.
After hearing this, Qiao Zhen frowned, feeling somewhat worried: "Wouldn't it be too dangerous to catch mutant snakes? There are so many of them, what if they all crawl up and attack you?"
Liu Yue reached into the plastic bag, took out the white medicine bottle, and shook it in the air.
"With the snake repellent powder from Shuguang Supermarket, everything you mentioned is not a problem!"
