Chapter 387: Happiness is a contrast
After eating.
Fang Xinwu and his entourage wandered around the Taunggyi City.
Before they knew it, everyone walked into the supermarket of the Home of Abundance, to learn about a place, and to go to the farmer's market where they could see the real side.
Since Homo sapiens did not exist as a farmer's market and a small supermarket, the functions of a farmer's market and a small store were all covered by several large supermarket chains.
So just go straight to the supermarket.
As soon as you enter the supermarket, it is a cool air conditioner.
This made the big fat man Zhang, who was already afraid of heat, feel relieved, and while fanning the wind, he complained to everyone: "Homo sapiens are good anywhere, but the weather is too hot, and a fat person like me can't stand it!" ”
Li Shengkai glanced at the shopping area guide: "The first floor is food, do you have anything you want to buy?" ”
Mr. Zhang waved his hand: "Just go shopping, you don't have to buy it." ”
The first shelf area is the vegetable area.
There is a dazzling array of vegetables, a large part of which is packaged, and there is a waiter who is specially packing things.
Looking at the many plastic boxes and plastic packaging, Li Shengkai asked in surprise: "Didn't Mr. Fang say that Southeast Asia is the most seriously affected by Tokyo fungi?" Why do supermarkets still use a lot of plastic? ”
"Because these are fast-moving consumer goods, the sales period will not exceed a week, so naturally there is no need to worry about fungal corrosion." Fang Xinwu understood the key in an instant.
After the vegetable section, there is the fruit section.
It is several times larger than the vegetable area just now.
There are 15 varieties of tomatoes alone, and Li Shengkai picked up a box of tomatoes with light purple lines: "0.3 yuan per kilogram......"
"Huhu...... Why are there so many varieties of fruits and vegetables here? Mr. Zhang asked Fang Xinwu curiously.
Fang Xinwu thought for a moment: "It should be preservation technology and transportation technology, or production nearby, which is convenient for transportation." ”
In fact, he guessed correctly.
The reason why there are so many varieties is mainly due to technological upgrading and proximity to production, and five of the affiliated cities of Taunggyi are specialized agricultural cities, which produce a large number of vegetables and fruits.
Nowadays, many varieties of vegetables and fruits are improved, giving priority to storage and transportation, which will weaken the flavor of vegetables and fruits.
According to the requirements of the headquarters, several large agricultural groups such as Haitian Agriculture have adopted the principle of proximity to establish vegetable and fruit production bases for each metropolitan area.
And these vegetable and fruit production bases are to produce those vegetables and fruits that cannot be transported over long distances, so that everyone can eat fresh and delicious food.
For example, many of the 15 varieties of tomatoes in front of us are ripe before they are picked and marketed, which can only be enjoyed around the place of origin.
Li Shengkai, who has been to Australia to study, has also seen the kind of vegetables and fruits produced by local farms, but the prices are relatively high.
But this 0.3 yuan a kilogram of purple tomatoes really made him a little broken.
Although it is equivalent to about 4.8 Chinese yuan per kilogram from the indirect exchange rate, this is a variety that is not resistant to transportation.
Just now he saw the kind of hard red tomatoes in the vegetable area, and it was only 0.11 yuan per kilogram.
He did not believe in evil, and he looked at other fruits.
In fact, his head is a little confused, and comparing the price of fruit with the tropics, it is simply boring to be self-deprecating.
Mr. Zhang saw the change in this guy's mentality, and deliberately stimulated the other party: "Virtuous nephew, do you want to have some cherries." ”
Seeing the box of big cherries of 0.43 yuan per kilogram, Li Shengkai's mind exploded directly: "Why is it so cheap?" Southeast Asia shouldn't produce cherries, right? Can imports be so cheap? ”
Fang Xinwu explained: "The Ministry of Foreign Trade of Homo sapiens will adjust the price, and this imported fruit is usually sold with subsidies, and it must be retailed according to the import price, and the price is about 3 yuan per kilogram." ”
"Subsidies? How much does this cost a year? "Li Shengkai's people are almost numb.
Fang Xinwu casually said a data: "According to the communiqué in the first quarter of this year, the Ministry of Foreign Trade of Zhiren subsidized 372 kinds of imported agricultural products, with a total subsidy amount of 48.1 billion gold yuan. ”
"......" Li Shengkai was silent, even if he was biased towards the West in his heart, he felt powerless in the face of such a fierce material offensive.
People with Dong Yongzhen's consciousness and belief are a minority after all, and the vast majority of people are just fake fanatics.
In the face of the overwhelming sugar-coated cannonballs of Homo sapiens, this false fanatic believer will soon be revealed.
After all, the material foundation is the foundation that determines everything.
Homo sapiens can artificially subsidize the price of imported agricultural products by relying on their own industrial chain and technological advantages, and keep the retail price down to about the same as the place of origin, which is obviously not possible elsewhere.
How does happiness come about?
That is, you buy a kilogram of cherries for 50 yuan, but I can buy a kilogram of cherries for only 4.8 yuan.
Many people's happiness is contrasted.
This is also why human beings are keen to compare and pretend to be X.
The reason why Li Shengkai directly broke the defense was that he couldn't eat such cheap cherries in Australia and his hometown, while the employees of Renjia Homo Sapiens could enjoy low discounts.
Immediately, Fang Xinwu's other words made the little sense of superiority in Li Shengkai's heart directly shattered.
"Mr. Zhang, don't take it around! We do not have a discount for this imported product. ”
"What?" Mr. Zhang put down the cherries in his hand: "This thing is still priced by people?" ”
"Well, see that purple triangle symbol? The products with this symbol are all imported, and the discounts of these products are only eligible for the employees of Homo sapiens. ”
Mr. Zhang glanced at the box, and there was indeed a purple triangle symbol on it, and there was a number 4.5 next to it, which means that the real retail price of the product is 4.5 gold yuan.
And Li Haoyun, who has been silent, did not enlighten his son or anything like that.
In fact, he deliberately arranged to come to the supermarket, colluding with Fang Xinwu and Mr. Zhang, the purpose was to combat his son's Gaohua mentality from Australia, so that he would be sober and sober, so as not to lose the family business in the future.
As for whether his son will collapse because of the explosion of his mentality, Li Haoyun has no choice but to treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Li Shengkai, who was hit, became silent in the next stroll.
However, he was still unwilling, and kept scanning the prices of various products on the shelves.
But the more he looked at it, the more powerless he felt to refute it.
From vegetables and fruits, meat, eggs and milk, to daily necessities, household appliances, skin care products, textiles, and decorations, the cost performance of Homo sapiens is overwhelming the world.
What LV, Chanel luxury bags, there is no market within Homo sapiens at all.
Because in the supermarket of the Rich House, there are a lot of similar products, which are more than a dozen yuan of goods.
What sense of well-being?
That's happiness!
After getting used to the cost-effective products of Homo sapiens, a strong sense of dependence will be formed, and it will be impossible to extricate itself.
The reason why the vast majority of those who have come to live in the territory of Homo sapiens choose to stay is not such a strong gap.
As soon as I returned to my hometown, looked at the price tags on the shelves, and then looked at my wallet, many people were spoiled by the cheap and good quality of Homo sapiens, and they couldn't accept the reality of high prices and low quality at all, and then ran back to Homo sapiens.
Even if ordinary people from Europe and the United States come over, they have to explode in their mentality.
Li Shengkai, who has a mine at home, can't bear it, let alone ordinary people with pitiful incomes.
