185: "How can it be two silver coins, didn't you say that the new store is open and discounted," a guest slapped the table angrily."
Yes, we're at 20% off.But I also said that you have to swipe the crystal card to spend to get a 20% discount, and what you give me is gold coins, which cannot be discounted. ”The guy explained good-naturedly.The guest was very dissatisfied, "How can there be such a thing, why can't you discount it with gold coins" "This guest, don't be angry, don't be angry, please listen to my explanation," the shopkeeper saw that there was a mess, and quickly moved his fat body to roll out from behind the counter, and said with a smile: "Because we open a store in Guna Town, we have to pay taxes, and every guest who consumes with us, we have to pay a certain amount of food and beverage tax."
However, the mayor of the town issued an order yesterday that within the first ten days of the opening of our commercial street, as long as the consumption with the crystal card can be tax-free, so hehe, guests, we are also operating on a small budget, please forgive me. ”The customers in the tavern suddenly all had a clear expression, the town gave the store tax exemption, and the store gave the customer a discount, so it turned out that this was the case.The shopkeeper saw that the anger on the customer's face had subsided slightly, and then persuaded: "Actually, our street is like this, whether it is a grain store or a fabric store, as long as you use a crystal card, you can enjoy a 20% discount in these ten days."
Either you don't use gold coins, but also use crystal cards, so you can get a discount. ”"But, but I've already taken out all the money in the crystal card and exchanged it for gold coins."
The guest said with a bitter face: "If I knew it, I wouldn't have taken it, or it would be better to keep a little." ”"Well, I really can't help it."
The shopkeeper shrugged, saying he couldn't help it."
Forget it, settle the bill, hey, forty copper coins were wasted."
The customer still had a bitter face, but this time he didn't bother the store again, but walked away with the ninety-eight silver coins he had recovered.Ninety-eight silver coins, a bag full of them, the guest took it in his hand and muttered: "It's really heavy, I knew that it was really better to use a crystal card." ”Seeing that this guest left, the crowd in the tavern began to discuss, everyone first asked the shopkeeper, and after confirming that the use of crystal cards to shop on this street can indeed be discounted, many people said that they simply did not withdraw the money, and all the expenses were directly swiped by the card, anyway, the construction project of this Guna town would be completed for at least half a year, and when it was time to leave, the money would be taken out at one time.Lest you be like the man just now, so a large bag of silver coins, whether hidden in the tent or with him, is inconvenient, you must know that this tent has no door lock.Joseph also hesitated after hearing everyone's discussion, he thought about it for a while, and decided to go back and discuss it with Joanna before making a decision, if Joanna agreed, Joseph also felt that the money could not be withdrawn first.If Joanna objected, Joseph would have lined up in the business district again."
Checkout."
Joseph handed the crystal card over."
Thank you for consuming a total of one silver and fifty coppers, and after a twenty percent discount, it is one silver and twenty coppers, and a discount of thirty coppers."
The guy reported the account, Joseph lowered his head and calculated that there was no problem, and under the guidance of the guy, he pressed OK on a small machine the size of a palm."
Okay, the account has been successfully transferred, this is your crystal card, please take it."
The guy smiled and handed the crystal card back to Joseph.Joseph walked out of the tavern satisfied, and his smiling face lengthened again as he went out, for no other reason than that it was too hot outside.Joseph glanced at the line in front of the ATM again, and there was already a lot less, but instead of leaning over, he turned and walked directly in the direction of his tent."
Joseph, Joseph" Joseph had just walked a few steps when he saw his wife, Joanna, running towards Joseph with an anxious face."
What's the matter, dear, is something wrong" "Joseph, I heard that the town of Guna is not issuing gold coins, but crystal cards" Joanna's face was flushed with sunburn."
Yes, but don't worry, Joanna, this crystal card can be exchanged for gold coins."
Joseph thought Joanna was worried about being cheated."
Joseph, have you taken out the money from this card?"
"Not yet. ”Joanna happily hugged Joseph, "Oh, great, honey, I love you."
Let's go", "Where to go", "Go shopping, don't you know, in this business district, you can use crystal cards to shop at a 20% discount."
I've already inquired, and the prices in Guna Town are the same as those in our Huangsha Town, but you can get a 20% discount here, which can save a lot of money.Joseph, do you know how worried I was that you would take all the money out of the card, and now many people regret it. ”Joanna and Joseph went through every shop on this street together, and Joanna was always excited, "Joseph, you see, we saved forty copper coins on the long bread, and these vegetables and fruits saved thirty copper, plus this, this, and this, it's almost two silver coins, Joseph, I'm really happy." ”Joseph couldn't help but be a little happy when he saw Joanna's smile, but he was a little bitter, poor Joanna didn't have a good life for a few days after marrying him."
Joseph, the mayor of the town posted a notice saying that in the future, the business district of Guna Town will be discounted by different categories every day, anyway, we have to stay here for a while, why don't we go to the residential area to rent a house, and then take our parents over.I've thought about it, the living expenses here are lower than those in Huangsha Town, and when my parents come over, I can ask them to help cook, and I will also go out to find a job, the money from my part-time job is completely enough for us to pay the rent, and there can be some surplus, do you see if this is good" Joseph thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that I have one day off this month and I don't use it, so I will go to the construction site in the afternoon and say, let's go back to Huangsha Town tomorrow." ”With the experience of the workers on the first day, the workers who received the crystal card on the second day did not exchange gold coins, but directly took the crystal card to the commercial area to shop and consume, and this brand-new commercial street with only a dozen shops was suddenly crowded.In addition, a lot of new houses in the residential area are rented, and the workers who have money on hand are not willing to continue to live in tents, and the beautiful and neat small buildings are much more comfortable than the tents made of rags.Even the salaries of the members of the Heavenly Punishment Mercenary Group are also paid by crystal cards, and those new members also know the use of crystal cards, so there is no doubt about the crystal card replacing gold coins.A major crisis passed in such a way."
Haha, Ah Ran, it's better to do it with you, sure enough, no one found out that we actually have no money.I'll take a look, well, yesterday's income exceeded 1,000 gold coins, it's good, being the mayor is really profitable. ”Ji Ran glared at him with a big white eye, "What you just looked at is the total turnover, minus the cost and profit, it is only more than three hundred gold coins."
And do you think this money is earned, it's still your own money, it's just virtual numbers spinning, what's there to be happy about. ”Lu Beibei sat on the side and nodded violently as he ate his grapes, "Yes, yes, even the things you sell in the store now are borrowed from me."
Ah Ran, you owe me a total now" "Don't say it, don't say it" Ji Ran held his head and shook his head, "Don't say that number, I'll go crazy."
Oh my God, tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, Yeyi, I hate you to death. ”Lu Beibei shrugged and said, "How can you escape, and escape won't solve the problem."
Forget it, I don't bother you, you all made an IOU anyway. ”Blankin carefully took back the account book, he didn't want to meet any accidents with his hard work, the deputy head of the regiment has been in a very bad mood recently, and he often picks up something and throws it around."
Where did the crystal card and those strange machines come from, I've never heard of it."
Brankin finally spoke out the long-buried question in his mind.Ji Ran and Lu Beibei glanced at each other, Lu Beibei scratched his head and said, "High-tech things, how can you possibly know."
Oops, don't talk about it, you don't understand it, you just need to know how to use it anyway, right?
Ah Ran, take a good look at your computer, in case someone pulls tens of thousands of gold coins on his crystal card" "Don't worry, I'm not so idiotic, I set a password." ”When choosing towns, Ji Ran had learned about the history, humanities, geography and other aspects of several towns in the hands of Viscount Bai Nanya.The town of Guna is definitely not the best among those towns, and at most it can only be said that the location is good, it is an excellent supply location, otherwise it would not have earned the reputation of the desert bride two hundred years ago.But what really made Ji Ran decide to choose this town was because of a legend here.Legend has it that a well was drilled in the northeast of the town of Guna, but it was a passage to hell, and a black water gushed out of the well, and anyone who touched it would die.After receiving the news, the Holy See of Light sent dozens of priests and patrol envoys to check, and finally united with an earth magic master to seal the area, which saved the people of Guna Town from the fear of the black water.Time passed, and Ji Ran finally saw the black water that had caused the whole town to panic again.Unlike the worries of the people around her, she was very excited to negotiate the price with Lu Beibei.After some arguments, the price was set at one gold coin per barrel, of course, the barrel was a large iron bucket specially found by Lu Beibei, not the small bucket we usually use.After negotiating the price, Lu Beibei left, disappearing in front of Ji Ran out of thin air, as if he had never appeared.Ji Ran looked at the place where she disappeared with a complicated expression, and after a long time, she sighed softly and turned to leave.The next day, the town of Guna began to recruit again, and the job was to fill large iron barrels with a liquid called petroleum, and transport it to the designated warehouse by pulling carts, and get five silver coins for each barrel of oil.A man can transport at least six barrels a day, or thirty silver coins.There are twenty days in a month in this world, which means that the minimum wage is six gold per month.The salary of this job is not high, but there are still very few applicants, and only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't do construction work will come to work here.For no other reason, in the eyes of most people, this black water is an unclean thing, and they are afraid that they will die if they get too close, so no matter how high the salary is, no one wants to come.，，； mobile phone reading,
