Looking at the counter, Su Nian felt somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Su Nian frowned and thought about it seriously, then he remembered.
Isn’t this the counter used to store mobile phones in the mobile phone stores of the past?
When these counters were built, no one probably imagined that one day they would be used to display food.
Perhaps because it was too early, apart from the young woman sitting behind the counter, Su Nian and Jing Mo were the only ones in the room.
The woman looked quite good, with a fair face and delicate features. She was wearing a red long-sleeved dress with many flowers embroidered on it, which looked quite delicate.
The woman had makeup on her face and even had her nails done.
To judge whether a person is living a good life, you cannot just look at his face, it is more important to look at his hands.
People who work hard all year round will definitely have rough hands.
But this woman's hands were very white and tender, and her fingers were slender, and you could tell at a glance that she had never done any work.
Before the end of the world, such people can be found everywhere.
But it has been several years since the end of the world, and she is still able to maintain her hands so well and sit here dressed so exquisitely. She must either have outstanding abilities or a strong background.
Although I don’t know whether the woman in front of me is the former or the latter, it doesn’t matter.
Grandma Su and Jing Mo stood in front of the counter, motionless and silent. The woman sitting there was not in a hurry at all. She just looked at them with a smile, her affectionate eyes seeming to want to say something but unable to, as she looked Su Nian and Jing Mo up and down.
Of course, Su Nian didn't just look at the women, he also looked at the food on the counter and their prices.
There are quite rich varieties of grains, including rice, white flour, millet, black rice and glutinous rice.
There are also corn flour, sweet potato flour, sorghum flour and mung bean flour.
There are also several kinds of beans and peanuts.
In addition, Su Nian also saw wheat bran and rice bran.
In the past, these were used to feed poultry and would never be displayed in this kind of counter and sold together with other grains.
But now, even wheat bran and rice bran are sold as grains with clearly marked prices, and the prices are not cheap.
From the prices marked on those small cards, Su Nian also knew what the currency of the second base was.
The common currency of the first base is contribution points, while the common currency of the second base is credibility points.
For fine grains like rice and flour, you can buy one kilogram for five credit points.
For things like wheat bran and rice bran, you can buy a pound of them with one credit point.
There is really a huge difference in price!
After watching for a while, Grandma Su and Jing Mo decided to leave.
After all, they didn't really come to buy food, they just came to check the prices.
The woman, who had been silent the whole time, chuckled when she saw the two people were about to leave.
"You two came in and stood here for a long time, just to take a look?"
Her voice is soft and gentle, which is actually very consistent with her appearance.
Su Nian looked at the woman and asked, "Can't you leave without buying?"
"Of course not."
The woman laughed again and said, "I'm opening a business, not a robber. How could I do such a thing as forced buying and selling?"
Hearing the woman's words, Su Nian nodded, said nothing more, turned around and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, the woman spoke again, "Is this your first time at the base? Don't you have any credibility?
Judging from the way you are dressed, you should have enough supplies. If you want to settle down at the base, I can help you apply for a citizen card."
"You help?"
Su Nian looked over in confusion, "Can't we just get a citizen card if we want to?"
The boss lady told them that as long as they provided enough supplies, they could apply for citizen cards of the corresponding level. Why would they need women’s help?
“It seems that you have learned some information, but you definitely don’t understand it comprehensively.
Don't you want to go into the inner city and take a look?
The outer city is full of shops, so how prosperous and lively must the inner city be?
I can tell you that even the metropolis before the end of the world is not as good as the inner city now."
Su Nian, however, did not have the slightest yearning, but only looked at the woman suspiciously, "Why do you want to help us?"
"It's not like I'm completely helping you. I'm just providing you with an opportunity. Whether you can seize the opportunity and move directly into the inner city depends on your own choice."
Su Nian didn't like people being mysterious, so he just asked directly, "What is it?"
"Don't be anxious! Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly.
Lord Star-Lord of our inner city is selecting his fifth wife. With your qualifications, I think you will definitely be chosen.
By then, don't even think about being a first-class citizen stuck in the inner city. You will be respected and sought after wherever you go.
By that time, I might even ask you to do things for me and depend on you for my living!"
The woman's words revealed so much information that Su Nian couldn't sort it all out at once.
After going over the woman's words again in his mind, Su Nian asked the first question.
"Who is Lord Star-Lord?"
The woman covered her mouth and giggled, "Even Star-Lord didn't know about this. It turns out this is his first time at the Second Base.
Our base has been able to develop so well, all thanks to Lord Star-Lord.
Citizen card and credibility points were all proposed by Star-Lord.
Although Lord Star-Lord is not the commander of the base, he is the one who has the final say in the base.
If you can become Lord Star-Lord's fifth wife, it would be a great success for everyone involved.
You lived in the small base before, right? As long as Star-Lord likes you enough, he can make everyone in your base settle in the second base.
Even if it's impossible for everyone to live in the inner city, there's no problem with being a second-class citizen."
Su Nian's face was expressionless. "Why are you so sure?"
"Why am I so sure?" The woman laughed, "Of course it's because Star-Lord's third wife came from the small base!
Like you, she also came to the Second Base to buy food and was spotted by Star-Lord by chance.
Wow, if one person succeeds, everyone in the family will benefit!
There were about a hundred people in their small base, and they were all starving to the point of being skin and bones.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and now they have all settled in the second base.
The third lady’s relatives all now live in the inner city, and everyone else is also a second-class citizen, with separate houses to live in and jobs arranged for them.
In just a short time, everyone has gained a lot of weight. Their life is really too good!
How about it? Are you excited?
If you are willing, I will take you into the inner city and help you run for election.
I don’t ask for much. When you are chosen, don’t forget me. Just lend me a hand when I need it!”
