Chapter 676: Successful people who lick the candy paper once and throw it away
Since the recruitment of Old Man Jia, the development of Breakfast Village has been changing with each passing day.
In addition to the record number of residents and villagers, the scale of the bazaar is also getting bigger.
Old man Jia led people to set up simple standard stalls, stipulating the size of the land occupied by each stall, stipulating the time of stall and the time of collecting stalls, and also began to collect the management fees of the stalls.
And the sugar of the manor has become the hard currency of the blue stone leaf inner star, a large number of people come every day, and the flow of people also represents business opportunities, many forces, and even set up a sentry near the breakfast village, and recently there has been a rudimentary form of bulk material trading.
Around Breakfast Village, Old Man Jia led the villagers to reclaim a large piece of land and planted it with local crops from the Blue Stone Leaf Inner Star.
Farmers have an instinctive ability to distinguish between crops, and they seem to know which crops can be grown and produce high yields by simply tasting them.
And on the periphery of the fields opened up by the farmers, there are still a large number of homeless gatherings, divided into more than a dozen large and small gathering places, although simple, but also trying to imitate the rules of the breakfast village, old man Jia did not drive them, but trained a few apprentices, to help them establish order, establish organization, Zhuang Buyuan felt that if he was not careful, he would spark the prairie fire.
And the biggest wish of these homeless people is to be able to join the breakfast village and rush to do all the hard work, but Old Man Jia is not treating them harshly, at least he can ensure that they have enough to eat.
According to Old Man Jia's estimates, the population gathered near Breakfast Village, plus the floating population, has reached tens of thousands.
The huge flow of people has also given rise to more trading demand.
These nomads were originally poor and white, with no long belongings, let alone manor coins, not even a single slag of manor coins, and generally speaking, transactions could only be bartered.
But their supplies were too poor, and if they wanted to eat a bird's egg, they had to change from firewood to socks, from socks to straw hats, from straw hats to slippers, from slippers to tree fruits, and from tree fruits to roots.
Maybe if you change it, you will be so hungry that you can't stand it when you change it, so you just eat the straw hat, and you can't even hold on to the tree fruit.
A waste of energy, and a waste of physical strength.
Recently, Zhuang Buyuan sold the sugar from the blue stone leaf inner star, which has enriched many varieties.
However, the people of the Age of Exile are still in the initial stage of eating sugar, and the demand for sweetness comes first, and the purer the sugar, the more popular it is.
So in addition to sugar cubes, the most popular is a brown candy cube wrapped in a simple candy cardboard, which is probably the kind that children don't eat now.
For homeless people, eating sugar is a very luxurious thing, a piece of sugar, even if it is eaten up, the candy paper is not willing to throw away, and when you are hungry, you will take it out and lick it.
And this candy paper is colorful, especially beautiful, and when you collect it, even if you look at it, you are in a happy mood.
I don't know when, all of a sudden, candy wrappers became popular, and I don't know who started exchanging items with candy wrappers, but before I knew it, candy wrappers became the general equivalent, that is, currency.
A piece of candy wrapper can be exchanged for two small bird eggs, a small bundle of firewood, a brand new straw hat, and half an old sock......
Old man Jia only discovered this spontaneous currency one morning when a homeless person was buying meat from candy paper, and he felt that this exchange method was very suitable for implementation in the breakfast village.
So he immediately made an official endorsement of this currency and launched the "Sugar Paper for Sugar" campaign.
Ten pieces of candy paper for one sugar cube, which is equivalent to the value of the candy paper to one-tenth of a sugar cube.
Old man Jia is not an economic expert, he just did it subconsciously, but this also happens to be in line with the development trajectory of the currency itself.
Candy wrappers, as a currency, also have their advantages.
First of all, plastic itself is tough and not easily damaged.
Secondly, the plastic candy paper made by the Earth, the Age of Exile cannot be faked.
Third, the total amount of candy paper is limited, and Old Man Jia's activity of "collecting sugar paper for sugar" also appropriately recycles the excess sugar paper circulating in the market.
Although it also has disadvantages, such as the fact that it is actually a commodity in itself, a packaging and add-on to sugar cubes, gold is also a commodity in itself, which does not affect its circulation.
After the "sugar wrapper" became the official currency of the breakfast village, the whole breakfast village, just like the rural children when the supplies were scarce decades ago, frantically collected the candy wrappers, they carefully put away the candy wrappers, flattened them and hid them in wooden boxes, pressed under the stones, some people saved enough ten, they couldn't wait to exchange them, and some people enjoyed the joy of the sugar wrappers accumulating more and more, getting thicker and thicker.
However, there must not be only one currency, it must have different denominations to facilitate circulation.
To date, the two currencies in circulation during the Age of Exile, the Blood of Time and the Manor Coins, are extremely large in face value and completely unsuitable for circulation.
Now that we already have the subject matter of "sugar paper", we can naturally continue to improve it on this basis.
During the Age of Exile, the purchasing power of a candy wrapper was about one dollar if converted into state currency.
It doesn't have to be complicated at first.
On this basis, add another "five yuan" or "ten yuan", and it can be easily circulated.
But this time, you can't use candy paper as currency so casually, it must be more recognizable, more reflective of the characteristics of the breakfast village, and reflect the style of the manor, in other words-
"No matter what, I have to print my handsome side face on it!" Zhuang is not far away!
……
In the morning, the leader of the expeditionary force in Songlin Town, Mao Wei, held a candy in his hands and licked it while walking into the breakfast village.
Beside him, many people looked enviously at the candy in his hand.
Ever since he got the candy, the once ambitious Ao Wei had forgotten that he was here to find the Blue Stone Leaf Manor.
In other words, he finally recognized his own strength, with the strength of Pine Forest Town, it was impossible to take advantage of the final battle, rather than smashing his own family on the battlefield, it was better to enjoy the delicious sugar.
Every day holding a candy cube and being happy, drunk and dreaming of death, rolling around, he feels that sugar makes the world a better place, and he likes this wonderful world.
In order to exchange for more sugar, the people of Pine Forest Town, near their original station, set up camp, built a large number of buildings, worked diligently, and continuously transported all kinds of bird eggs and materials to the breakfast village, exchanged them for delicious sugar cubes, and transported them back to the station of Pine Forest Town, and even back to Pine Forest Town, which was far away in the era of exile.
And Songlin Town was also the first force to build a sentry station outside Breakfast Village.
After eating a piece of candy, he licked a handful of candy paper handsomely, and then threw it away.
The colorful candy wrapper, fluttering, was snatched up by a small farmer before it fell into the air, and he couldn't wait to lick it on the candy wrapper.
"Boy." Mao Wei hugged his shoulders and looked at him triumphantly: "Work hard, one day, you will be like me, the candy paper will be licked once and thrown away!" ”
The little peasant looked at him with sparkling eyes, his eyes full of envy.
This is a successful person!
Feeling that his little vanity had been satisfied, he walked into the sugar shop in the center of the breakfast village: "Boss, I'm here to buy candy again!" ”
"Oh?" Zhuang Buyuan was sitting behind the counter eating, and when he heard the words, he said: "Mao Wei is here again, do you want to buy spot or get sugar tickets today?" ”
"Sugar ...... Ticket? ”
What is that? Is it a new sugar?
