Fang Xinwu and his party wandered around Taungzhi City.
Unknowingly, everyone walked into the supermarket of Fengfeng Home. To understand a place, the best way to see the real side is to go to the local farmer's market.
Since farmers' markets and small supermarkets do not exist in Homo sapiens, the functions of farmers' markets and small stores have been taken over by several large supermarket chains.
So just go to the supermarket directly.
As soon as I entered the supermarket, I was greeted by the chilly air-conditioning.
This made Mr. Zhang, a fat man who was afraid of heat, relieved. While fanning the flames, he complained to everyone: "Homo sapiens are good everywhere, but the weather is too hot. Fat people like me really can't stand it!"
"
Li Shengkai took a look at the shopping area guide: "The first floor is food. Is there anything you want to buy?"
Mr. Zhang waved his hand: "Just take a stroll, you don't have to buy anything."
The first shelf area is the vegetable area.
The reason why Li Shengkai directly broke through the defense was that he could not get such cheap cherries in Australia or his hometown, but employees of the Homo sapiens company could enjoy low price discounts.
The reason why there are so many varieties is mainly due to technological upgrading and nearby production. Among the cities affiliated with Taunggyi City, five are specialized agricultural cities that produce a large amount of vegetables and fruits.
Then Fang Xinwu said another sentence, which directly shattered the sense of superiority in Li Shengkai's heart.
However, he was still unwilling to do so and kept scanning the prices of various products on the shelves.
From vegetables and fruits, meat, eggs, and milk to daily necessities, household appliances, skin care products, textiles, and decorations, the price-performance ratio of Homo sapiens is the best in the world.
But the more he looked at it, the more he felt unable to refute.
Several large agricultural groups, such as Haitian Agriculture, adopt the proximity principle according to the requirements of the headquarters to establish vegetable and fruit production bases specifically for each metropolitan area.
Nowadays, many vegetable and fruit varieties are improved to give priority to storage and transportation resistance, which will weaken the flavor of vegetables and fruits.
For example, many of the 15 varieties of tomatoes in front of us are already ripe before being picked and put on the market. This can only be enjoyed around the place of origin.
"Huhu... why are there so many varieties of fruits and vegetables here?" Mr. Zhang asked Fang Xinwu curiously.
That is, you spend 50 yuan to buy a kilogram of cherries, but I only need 4.8 yuan to buy a kilogram of cherries.
Mr. Zhang saw the change in this guy's mentality and deliberately provoked him: "My dear nephew, would you like some cherries?"
Fang Xinwu explained: "The Ministry of Foreign Trade of Homo sapiens will adjust the price. This kind of imported fruit is usually sold with subsidies and must be retailed according to the import price, which is about 3 yuan per kilogram."
"Because these are fast-moving consumer goods, the sales period will not exceed one week, so there is no need to worry about fungal corrosion." Fang Xinwu understood the key in an instant.
Many people's happiness comes from comparison.
In fact, his mind is a little crazy. Comparing fruit prices with those in tropical areas is simply asking for trouble.
There is no market for LV or Chanel luxury bags within Homo sapiens.
Because there are a lot of similar products in Fengshuojia supermarket, which only cost more than ten yuan.
This is why humans are so keen on comparing and pretending.
There is a dazzling array of vegetables, most of which are packaged, and there is a waiter who is specifically packing the items.
Fang Xinwu casually mentioned a data: "According to the communique in the first quarter of this year, the Ministry of Foreign Trade of Homo sapiens subsidized 372 types of imported agricultural products, with a total subsidy amount of 48.1 billion gold yuan."
"What?" Mr. Zhang put down the cherries in his hand: "Is there a price for this thing?"
"Subsidy? How much does this cost per year?" Li Shengkai was almost numb.
Looking at the numerous plastic boxes and plastic packaging, Li Shengkai asked in surprise: "Didn't Mr. Fang say that Southeast Asia is the most severely affected by Tokyo fungus? Why do supermarkets still use a lot of plastic?"
As for whether his son will never recover due to an explosive mentality, Li Haoyun has no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Li Shengkai was shocked and became taciturn during the rest of the stroll.
Once you get used to the cost-effective products of Homo sapiens, you will develop a strong sense of dependence and become unable to extricate yourself.
Seeing the box of big cherries that cost 0.43 yuan per kilogram, Li Shengkai was immediately excited: "Why are they so cheap? Southeast Asia shouldn't produce cherries, right? Can imports be so cheap?"
In fact, his guess was correct.
This is happiness!
After all, the material foundation determines everything.
There are 15 varieties of tomatoes alone. Li Shengkai picked up a box of tomatoes with lavender lines: "0.3 yuan per kilogram..."
And Li Haoyun, who had been silent all the time, did not enlighten his son.
Fang Xinwu thought for a moment: "It should be preservation technology and transportation technology, or production nearby to facilitate transportation."
Although calculated from the indirect exchange rate, it is equivalent to about 4.8 Chinese yuan per kilogram, but this is a variety that cannot withstand transportation.
What happiness?
Not believing in evil, he looked at other fruits.
In fact, he deliberately arranged to come to the supermarket, colluded with Fang Xinwu and Mr. Zhang, and the purpose was to combat the high-spirited mentality that his son had acquired from Australia and make him sober up, so as not to ruin the family business in the future.
Where does happiness come from?
Mr. Zhang took a look at the packaging box, and there was indeed a purple triangle symbol on it, and there was a number 4.5 next to it, which meant that the real retail price of the product was 4.5 gold yuan.
"Well, have you seen that purple triangle symbol? The products with this symbol are all imported. Only employees of Homo sapiens are eligible to enjoy the discounts on these products. Foreigners like us can only buy them at the original price."
Homo sapiens can rely on its own industrial chain and technological advantages to artificially subsidize the price of imported agricultural products and drive down the retail price to about the same as the place of origin, but other places obviously cannot do this.
People who have Dong Yongzhen's consciousness and belief are in the minority after all, and the vast majority of them are just fake fanatics.
After passing the vegetable area, there is the fruit area.
Faced with the overwhelming sugar-coated bullets from Homo sapiens, such false fanatic believers will soon be exposed for their true colors.
Just now he saw the kind of hard red tomatoes in the vegetable section, which cost only 0.11 yuan per kilogram.
It is several times larger than the vegetable area just now.
These vegetable and fruit production bases are designed to produce vegetables and fruits that cannot be transported over long distances, so that everyone can eat fresh and delicious food.
"Mr. Zhang, please don't take it randomly! We don't have discounts on imported products like this."
"..." Li Shengkai fell silent. Even though his heart was biased toward the West, he felt helpless in the face of such a fierce material offensive.
Li Shengkai, who has studied in Australia, has also seen the fruits and vegetables produced by local farms, but the prices are relatively high.
But this purple-striped tomato costing 0.3 yuan per kilogram really put him off guard.
Why most of those who came to live in Homo sapiens territory chose to stay? It was not because of this strong gap.
As soon as I returned to my hometown, I looked at the price tags on the shelves and then looked at my wallet. Many people were spoiled by the low prices and good quality of Homo sapiens. They simply could not accept the reality of high prices and low quality, and then ran back to Homo sapiens.
.
Even if ordinary people from Europe and the United States come here, their mentality will explode.
Li Shengkai, whose family owns a mine, can hardly bear it, let alone ordinary people with pitifully little income.
