Ren Xiaosu looked at the packets of broken cigarette boxes and felt a little heartache, according to the twenty yuan cigarette money in Wang Fugui's store, how much is the cigarette in this store worth?

What's more, Ren Xiaosu on this street roughly estimated that there were at least five or six cigarette hotels.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu converted the price, thinking that the human race before the catastrophe was really rich......

In a hurry, Ren Xiaosu didn't realize that in fact, tobacco before the catastrophe was not a scarce material. Ren Xiaosu turned his head to look at the wine placed on the wall in the back row of the store, the outer packaging boxes of those wines were long gone because they were not protected by plastic, and they were all bare wine bottles.

Some of the wine bottles seemed to be scattered on the ground and shattered because of the earthquake, and some were still placed on the cabinet, but Ren Xiaosu opened it casually and found that the wine inside was long gone.

I don't know how long it has been since the catastrophe, but all the wine in the bottle has volatilized.

Ren Xiaosu muttered: "Didn't the previous winery know how to make the sealing better?!"

He shook the well-preserved wine bottles one by one, and the result was that the wine in it was long gone.

In fact, this kind of wine needs to be reprocessed with special preservation techniques, such as sealing wax and the like, otherwise it is common for only half a bottle to be left after 50 years of aging.

Nowadays, the most expensive things in the market town are actually cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs, especially alcohol, which is contraband at all, but the people in the market town are more urine, and the more prohibited things are, the more valuable they are.

Originally, Ren Xiaosu thought that he had found a huge treasure when he saw these shops, but now he suddenly realized that his previous fantasies were all nonsense.

Time and catastrophe are like a huge knife, cutting off the old and new civilizations, Ren Xiaosu said that tobacco and alcohol are like this, let alone medicine.

He had just seen a pharmacy that was about to explore it, but now it seems that he doesn't need to explore it.

Ren Xiaosu walked out on the street and thought seriously, what is there that has no expiration date? Or can the shelf life be as high as hundreds of years?

He suddenly saw a store next to him whose name was Family Planning and Health Care, but Ren Xiaosu didn't go in, after all, in his opinion, this should be a store that sells health care products, but no health care products can be stored for so long.

He once again confirmed that the attention of the Qing Consortium had not shifted to his side, so he regained his peace of mind, and at this time, Ren Xiaosu could still hear the gunshots on the periphery, which made him very puzzled, was that experimental subject so powerful?

But then he suddenly thought of something...... Isn't it metal that can be kept from decaying for hundreds of years?

Ren Xiaosu turned his head suddenly, he heard Wang Fugui say that there is a gold shop in the barrier, so the scale of this city is so grand, there must be one!

Ren Xiaosu, who was still a little depressed before, regained his fighting spirit!

Gold was still a hard currency in these years, and Ren Xiaosu once asked Zhang Jinglin curiously, why did gold be needed as a hard currency after the currency issued by Qingshi Bank?

Zhang Jinglin smiled and replied to him: "Because Qing's Bank is not the only one issuing currency, maybe your currency can still be used on the territory of the Qing's Foundation, but it can't be used when it comes to other barriers." At this time, there is a need for something that is easy to measure and easy to value, to replace the use of paper money. ”

In fact, currency is also a way for consortia to control the barriers of refuge, they make people accustomed to the convenience and speed of paper money, but they have the final say on how much money to issue.

This is the real lifeblood of the economy, one of the fundamentals of a consortium.

However, Zhang Jinglin explained: "Now because of the problem of currency circulation, several consortia have formed a currency management committee, and everyone has strict regulations on the issuance of currency, so there will be no chaos in the world." But now that everyone is amiable, who can guarantee that it will be like this in the future?"

At this time, Ren Xiaosu thought back to Zhang Jinglin's words, and felt more and more that Zhang Jinglin was not simple, no one knew where this Mr. Xuetang came from, and he stayed in the market town outside the No. 113 barrier for many years.

Ren Xiaosu made up her mind that she must observe Zhang Jinglin carefully when she goes back this time.

He explored the past farther away from the Qing Consortium, trying to find an existence like the gold shop, if there was a gold shop left, wouldn't he be developed?

......

In the backyard of the Jizhen Academy, Zhang Jinglin had just returned to the yard after a day's lesson, and he saw Yan Liuyuan, who had already walked out of the house and was basking in the sun, and smiled: "Okay, right?"

"Well," Yan Liuyuan nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. and Sister Xiaoyu for taking care of you during this time." ”

At this time, Yan Liuyuan was in a particularly good mood, but he was not because of his condition, but because he knew that since his condition had not deteriorated, it meant that there were not many places where Ren Xiaosu could use "luck", that is, Ren Xiaosu did not encounter any real danger.

Sister Xiaoyu walked in from outside with a basket at this time, and when she saw Yan Liuyuan, she was pleasantly surprised: "Liuyuan, are you cured, come into the house, don't be blown by the cold wind." ”

Yan Liuyuan smiled very cutely: "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm fine, don't worry, what are we going to eat tonight?"

"I'll scramble you an egg and a little green cabbage," Sister Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I just went to the market town and cut a little fat, I can boil oil for you to stir-fry, so that you can taste the meat." ”

"Okay," Yan Liuyuan agreed, but he said as he walked out, "I'll go out, and I'll be back before dark!"

Sister Xiaoyu just wanted to stop him, but when she turned around, Yan Liuyuan was gone.

She stood at the door of the school worriedly and waited, Zhang Jinglin said in her heart, didn't you prepare to cook just now, when is this waiting, but he was embarrassed to speak......

In Zhang Jinglin's opinion, Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan, the eldest and younger brothers, are not the masters who can suffer casually, and after they go out, they should worry about others.

Just now, Zhang Jinglin clearly saw Yan Liuyuan hiding the kitchen knife in his arms, who do you say will bring a kitchen knife when he goes out? Can this be a serious child?

But Yan Liuyuan really came back before dark, Zhang Jinglin and Sister Xiaoyu didn't know where Yan Liuyuan went, and he didn't say anything when he asked him, just smiled and pulled the topic to another place.

There are three rooms in the backyard of the school, but one is the kitchen, one is where Zhang Jinglin lives, and the other is the room of Yan Liuyuan and Sister Xiaoyu.

At night, Sister Xiaoyu would make up the bed for Yan Liuyuan, and she slept on the ground, at this time it was almost winter and the ground was very cold, but Sister Xiaoyu never said anything.

After extinguishing the kerosene lamp, Sister Xiaoyu suddenly asked Yan Liuyuan: "Do you say your brother is safe now?"

Yan Liuyuan said with a smile: "Definitely safe, don't worry." ”

Sister Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't know why Yan Liuyuan was so determined.
