Chapter 183 "The Cosmopolitan City" Prototype II.
Saying~
Back at Base 01A, the Guardian of the "Realm of God", I have admired and praised the changes here countless times in the past few days.
First, when he led the caravan to set off, there were not many colorful display screens that could be seen in the western area; Second, many buildings at that time, including many pavements in the West District, had not yet been renovated.
At least for now...
When Wei Lu came home from school every day, he admired the facades of many buildings.
Actually, he didn't understand. The "flower cases" on the walls are the "graffiti" that passes through the crowd and is bored. Of course, there are also some that are uniformly designed.
Another point is the change in Wei Wei's personal experience.
At that time, when Wei Lu was "lucky" to come to the "realm of God", his identity was a prisoner of war! And he was a prisoner of war who had been abused by the goddesses.
Because of the rash "attack" on the Heavenly Realm, Wei Lu's younger brother also lost his life...
You said Wei Lu had resentment in his heart, right?
Not really.
But somewhat, emotionally, he still feels that this realm is not a "home" after all.
But now, after a few months of showing off his majesty, the "merchants" who flaunted their might and all sides returned to this place, and Wei Xuan's heart... He didn't know what adjectives to use to express his feelings!
I guess I feel like I'm coming home...
Again, it's not.
It's not all right to say that there is a feeling of entering a paradise...
Let's think about it again, my parents have passed away, and my only brother is gone; Due to the perennial garrison, his wife died in childbirth, and he couldn't rush back to see him again... There are not many relatives in the clan, and there is little contact...
You say that the realm of God is not home?
At this time, where can it be placed?
In the middle of the night, he lay on his back on an empty mattress, and that's all he thought. So it's normal for Wei Wei to be afraid of feeling alone at home.
Thinking makes people "unhappy", isn't this a necessary stage of life?
So in this rental house of the guard, these days, there are always people who are invited to come to drink and have fun. Visitors, mainly Wei Xuan's cheap enlightenment teacher... That is, Guan Ning's family.
There are also uninvited. For example, if you are ready to learn more about the situation of Xianbei... Bingkun; For example, if you want to inquire about the details of the business... Strict beard.
Anyway, isn't Wei Lu rich!
Anyway, after having money, Wei Lu really doesn't know how to "spend" this money! Just talk to these "seniors".
…
Truly.
The consumption level of Base 01A, in the eyes of the natives, there are too many places that they can't understand and understand. Back then... A few months ago, Yan Su was the one who looked stupid... One.
For the natives, at first glance, there are many consumptions in the 01A base, which they can't reach. Except for a very small number of wealthy natives, ordinary natives really dare not think about it.
However, when it comes to people's livelihood in general, it is different.
Take, for example, the students of the Language Academy. Because they can leave the school.
(In the non-commissioned officer academy, individual cadets with identity and tasks can also be)
The natives know this.
Many students in language academies often do not leave the school, because of the large amount of homework, tight class time, and high pressure of exams... However, many top students often go out to spend.
They became part of the indigenous people who knew the price best.
For example, if they want a change of taste, they don't want to eat the three meals a day provided by the West End canteen, so it's good to take two steps, push the bicycles that can be found everywhere, and go around the shopping street.
By the way, bring it to the younger brother, clan relatives or the same dormitory, pack some new flavors...
So...
What can I eat in the shopping street?
Big restaurants, well-decorated restaurants, they may not be able to afford to eat, or in order to save some money, they don't eat... But they are happy to visit the stalls along the street!
A pancake fruit, with eggs and sausages, only costs 5 coins, 5 yuan; Drink a bowl of white porridge and get a pack of small mustard for only 3 yuan; 3 big white steamed buns are full, and a small bowl of seaweed soup is given for free, only 4 yuan...
The more expensive ones are, what ramen noodles are mixed with noodles, fried noodles and hot dry noodles, and they are only about ten yuan. If you want a meat dish, you can do it, such as red oil stinging skin, clear soup shrimp balls, etc., it's only twenty.
As long as you are not afraid of the cold, the wind is not afraid of noisy, then, sit on the side of the street, wait for a few minutes, and you can eat a good meal.
Even if you have a drink to eat, as long as you don't drink beer or as long as you don't make meat skewers, then a bottle of low-cost liquor, and then some potato chips, green beans, tofu, leeks, eggplant...
Spend one hundred and eighty, and it can be very rich!
Today's commercial street in the West District, in addition to the core 9 streets, most of the surrounding tube buildings, even if they are not renovated, are also in use. It's a bit of the 21st century, around the commercial center, and the food street state dedicated to tourism.
Since the early planning has always been in operation, the business scope of each street in the commercial district is now gradually unified.
In addition, with the increase of the indigenous population, the business that can be made by building a small stall is also attracting more and more people to participate.
So, this directly lowers the cost of consumption for indigenous people.
For example, in the vicinity of the West District, the prices of supermarkets have basically not changed, but the sales of low-priced items have continued to increase in the period after the New Year. The reason for this is that the natives who are familiar with the environment dare to consume!
This can be seen intuitively from the clothing.
As long as the natives who are rich in pocket money are not required to dress uniformly, then their clothing will show their characteristics.
Cheap, warm, loose-fitting, hard-wearing clothing is their first choice.
Those who are a little richer will also imitate the crowd and wear some low- and medium-priced brands (imitations). Trench coats, suits, and other clothing with a sense of design are also appearing more and more on indigenous people.
Especially those who have been "dropped out of school", they have different requirements for dress due to different job positions... The aborigines who work in the commercial street, the way they dress...
It's almost the same as crossing the crowd!
"These clothes were bought for me by my hostess... From the inside out, it was all selected by the proprietress and she taught me how to wear it, and I just did it! ”
…
…
So, in the final analysis, the 01A base is not really expensive.
It's only when it comes to certain areas that prices jump exponentially...
For example, fresh meat and high-quality tropical fruits, which are subject to transportation, will definitely seem "expensive", and the demand for these things is also very large.
There are also types of consumption that are "expensive" because labor is expensive.
To put it more bluntly, it is because the labor that traverses the crowd is too valuable. Especially the "appearance" resources, they themselves are a scarce resource...
And it's not renewable!
As a result, many of the consumption in the 01A base can also be directly classified as "crossing the mass consumption area" and "aboriginal consumption area".
Since January, with the increase of indigenous consumption and the injection of "capital" by indigenous tyrants, many of the original foot massage and sauna bathing stores have also been rapidly iterating.
Some models and beauties have started a business that only targets the public.
The ID card scanning system alone has blocked the indigenous tyrants.
In order to cater to the gap in the market, the original Liuying shop and foot washing shop were simply upgraded to bathing and sauna.
Even...
Many female ** soldiers, female family members, and female security guards simply started a "dancer business"! This kind of business is a bit of the kind of storefront that was prevalent in New York in the 70s.
Anyway, it's also a membership system, but, only for Bumiputera.
Office members send private "cups"... Then, swipe the coin card to see the "Toyi Dance"... Enjoyment... As long as the tip is reasonable, you can still ...
Yes~
Once these "sightseeing shops" opened, they directly connected several game rooms, billiard halls, small movie screening rooms... Half of the customers were snatched away.
In the future, these shopkeepers, they plan to recruit indigenous women to work here in the future! But at present, the main body of the performance is still passing through the women.
…
…
Accompanied by Guan Ning, Yan Xu, and Bingkun, Wei Lu revisited the commercial street. To tell the truth, the changes in the commercial street are really much bigger than Wei Lu's imagination!
The four male natives, in a limited amount of time, walked through most of the entertainment venues they could enter. Finally, settle down in a newly opened "NYG Yao Chi" sauna hall.
The doorman warmly welcomed the four into the second floor.
During the greeting process, the doorman's Cantonese accent indicates that he is from Goguryeo. This means that he is likely to be a slave soldier under Yan Su at that time!
But Yan Su hadn't seen him!
Belch~
Former slave, when he saw the original owner, he was like no one... On the contrary, he warmly called Guan Ning "vice principal"...
Call Bingkun "Teacher Bing"...
Call Wei Lu "Wei Hero"...
The co-authored doorman already recognized them!
But when it came to Yan Su, he only shouted "Mr. please"... After taking a seat, before choosing a woman, Yan Su sighed: "The realm of God, educate the humble, and make the lowly think of people!"
Why...
Lao Tzu is now mixed up as 'Mr.'! ”
