"Alas... Dad is so ashamed of you. He has never taken you to a restaurant. He doesn't even know how much the food in the restaurant costs. Alas..." Tang Linde sighed with shame, took out a pack of low-quality cigarettes and started smoking.
.
"Our island is surrounded by sea. Is seafood so expensive? It is more expensive in inland areas without sea, because it requires transportation and labor." Tang Wen was stunned.
"There is indeed a lot of seafood in the sea, but the sea is too dangerous.
If you ask the fishermen, something happens every time. In fact, no one on the boat can come back.
Therefore, when you go fishing at sea, you need to be equipped with many things. For example, the workers must be strong and in good health, and they must also be equipped with some pills, which are very expensive.
Sea beasts, sea monsters, whirlpools, undercurrents, and some inexplicable unknown things often appear in the sea.
Over the years, fishermen have become afraid. Therefore, in order to save their lives, they have to strengthen their equipment.
Boat owners with big families can hire a security company, but how can ordinary fishermen afford it?
Therefore, these equipment and powerful workers are not cheap, keeping the price of seafood high.
A sturgeon weighing half a catty can be sold for four to five thousand yuan, and I can only buy two with my monthly salary.
A pound of nine-knot shrimp costs 20,000 yuan, and a two-pound mandarin fish costs 50,000 yuan. They can’t afford it." Tang Jiayin sighed.
"There are dangers in the sea, so we can just breed them artificially. There are no dangers in the pond?" Tang Wen said.
"It's easier said than done. It's very difficult to raise fish and shrimps. Maybe they will all die if climate change occurs.
Also, for example, if a fish-eating monster sneaks in, they will all be eaten.
In the end, everything was lost.
I have personally seen a large number of people engaged in breeding go bankrupt. Now, this business is getting harder and harder to do," Tang Linde said.
"Seafood is very expensive, can we eat freshwater fish?" Tang Wen asked.
"Same, it's difficult to raise. It's hard to catch wild fish, and there are monsters in big rivers, so they're not safe either." Tang Linde shook his head.
"Then we can only eat meat. Just eat more pork." Tang Wen said.
"Where can I get meat? A pound of ribs costs 500 yuan, and a chicken costs 3,000 yuan. I can only buy a dozen pounds of ribs in a month of delivery."
Therefore, our family has no choice but to eat meat only once a week, and it’s all my fault.” Tang Linde’s eyes turned red as he spoke.
"Our Star Fantasy Empire is so technologically advanced, why can't we solve these small problems? We can't even solve people's livelihood problems, so what are the big shots doing?" Tang Wen was a little angry.
"This is due to the general environment. The environment we live in is too harsh.
It looks beautiful, but in fact, there are many dangers hidden in it.
Just ask your brother, they patrol the city.
We are often attacked by monsters, and people often die," Tang Linde said.
"Yeah, what's the use of high technology? Those monsters move so fast that they can't be caught at all.
Moreover, they are more ferocious than their strength.
You can't just throw an 'ion bomb' into the sea, what's the use of that?
I encountered it once last time. Fortunately, Si Li gave me a "running pill" on my body.
Swallow it quickly and run fast, otherwise, it will be eaten by monsters." Tang Jiayin said.
It seems that I have lost a lot of memories that I have devoured.
For two days and two nights, Tang Wen did not leave the room. He checked various information on the Internet to improve his knowledge of the Star Fantasy Empire.
I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, because this place didn't produce gold, not even silver.
There is no record of such products as gold and silver in various magazines of the empire.
It's simply impossible to make real money here, because they don't have such a thing at all.
And the gold and silver I brought with me are probably useless. Apart from decoration, these things don't seem to be of much use.
The Star Fantasy Empire doesn't have this thing at all, so if you show it to people, they won't know what it is and won't pay attention to it at all.
If I had known that chicken, duck, fish and meat were so expensive here, I would have made a lot of money by bringing more food.
As for the spirit stones, there is no record of them in the Imperial Magazine, and I'm afraid there is none either.
What made Tang Wen even more angry was that the tobacco and alcohol here were actually expensive.
I thought I could make a lot of money, but their brewing and manufacturing techniques are very advanced, and the nicotine in the cigarettes contains very low levels of nicotine, which is not harmful to the human body.
Therefore, the cigarettes and alcoholic beverages you brought were defective products and were simply substandard and no one bought them.
The various laws and regulations in the empire are very complete and even harsh.
All items must pass inspection before being put on the shelves, and must have a certificate of conformity issued by the empire before they can be put on the shelves for sale.
The certificates of conformity all bear the trademark ‘Ion, Quantum’ and no one can imitate them.
Therefore, there will be no counterfeit goods at all.
As for the large number of mirrors, lipsticks, perfumes, etc. that I brought with me, other people’s ones are more high-end and more practical.
These gadgets in my void bag can’t get certificates at all.
Therefore, after much thought, the only way to make money was to sell fresh food from Chu State or Yunhai City.
However, now that he is here, he must bring something that is not available in other planes to make a fortune. It is not Tang Wen's nature to return empty-handed.
Tang Wen discovered that the batteries here were very high-end.
A battery that is only three fingers wide can store thousands of kilowatt hours of electricity.
Therefore, this kind of micro battery is installed in every house and every room, and there is no need to pull wires at all.
Therefore, in the streets and alleys here, there is no such thing as wires being tangled like spider webs.
To be clear, there are basically no exposed wires. No matter whether they are wires, closed lines, or communication lines, etc.
Therefore, there is no power supply station here, and the power is transmitted wirelessly.
There are a small number of wireless charging piles and other equipment on the earth, but they have become popular here. Moreover, high-power high-voltage electricity can also be transmitted directly wirelessly.
It seems that batteries are a huge business opportunity.
For example, if these high-energy batteries are returned to Yunhai City, they can be installed on new energy luxury trams.
An electric car sold for millions has a range of six to seven hundred miles, and the battery takes up most of the body area and weight.
The current battery capacity of mainstream electric vehicles in Yunhai City is around 50 or 60 kilowatt-hours. For example, the battery capacity of Desi New Energy is 55 kilowatt-hours and the battery capacity of Kitty Eagle is 60 kilowatt-hours.
Biradi uses ternary carp batteries, which only have a few tens of kilowatt-hours, and their cruising range is only about 400 to 700.
As a result, people who drive trams are often in a state of anxiety. They are worried about being stranded in the middle of a long trip because the cruising range is not enough.
If the batteries here were transferred to Yunhai City, an electric car would only need a battery three fingers wide to drive it for thousands of kilometers.
Some car owners who use less cars only need to charge the battery once a year. Even luxury cars can turn on multiple on-board cameras throughout the year to monitor everything around them at any time.
With it, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will probably have to be retired.
Because a battery the size of an eight-wheel truck is enough to travel around the world several times.
Subsequently, the battery capacity is smaller, which can free up most of the space in the car for other things.
However, to purchase batteries, you must first have Star Magic Coins.
A three-finger-thick battery used at home requires 50,000 or 60,000 star magic coins to be fully charged, which is equivalent to more than half a year's salary of an ordinary worker here.
However, Tang Wen believed that if he took it back to Yunhai City, he would be asking for one million, and someone should want it.
After all, there are still many rich people in that world.
Because this thing is easy and fast to use, does not require pulling wires, and is much more beautiful.
The most important thing is that for wealthy people, they don’t have to worry about power outages, let alone being stranded on the road.
And some outdoor activities require it even more, such as scientific research, exploration, etc.
Even taking it back to Chu State is of great use. The function of the wind turbine is to charge it, and this can be moved around.
Those wealthy locals can install one in each house and it will last them a year. The market prospect is huge.
However, if you only earn 10,000 star magic coins a month by working, it is simply impossible to buy back a large number of batteries.
Therefore, Tang Wen had to make a lot of money in the shortest possible time.
Tang Wen also thought about setting up a martial arts gym, but there are no martial artists in this world, let alone immortal cultivators.
Practicing martial arts is very hard work, and most of the citizens of Xinghuan Kingdom probably cannot bear the hardship of practicing martial arts.
Even if someone is willing to practice, it is difficult to achieve results all at once. It is easier to give yourself a "strengthening drug", so it is difficult to be convincing.
Because the world's research and development of human biological drugs has reached its peak.
However, compared with martial arts training, their medicine is still difficult to overcome the threat of sequelae.
It seems that the spiritual stones and elixirs brought by me in Chu State or Yunhai City, including the Xuanwu Domain, are not very profitable here. Of course, except for food.
"Brother, look, Luo Feng has won six games in a row, and he will advance to the second round after just a few more games." At this time, my sister Tang Yu pointed at the game on TV and screamed with excitement.
Tang Wen took a glance and found that a boxing match was being held on TV.
The younger sister Tang Yu was obviously a fan of the player named Luo Feng, she was jumping, shouting and yelling.
"What's the second round? Isn't there a third round?" Tang Wen responded casually.
"If you can make it to the second round, you are a strong person. If you advance to the third round, if you can win the top three, you can be called a junior boxing champion." Tang Yu said.
"What if we win the final championship?" Tang Wen asked casually.
"That is the boxing champion of our Star Fantasy Empire." Tang Yu said.
"Does the boxing champion get a bonus?" Tang Wen asked.
"Of course, the little boxing champion will be rewarded with five million star magic coins." Tang Yu said.
"What about the boxing champion?" Tang Wen suddenly became short of breath.
"The heavyweight boxing champion, like 'Guppy', has a bonus of up to 50 million." The eldest brother Tang Jiayin, who was sitting next to him, replied.
"Fifty million, that's a lot of money." Tang Wen was a little moved.
"Of course it's not small. I only earn over 100,000 yuan a year. I will have to work for hundreds of years and several lifetimes." Tang Jiayin said.
"Brother, if you have 50 million, how do you plan to spend it?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
"I want to buy a lot of sturgeons, lobsters, abalones, Barbie dolls, and mechanical warriors..." Tang Yu said excitedly.
"With fifty million, I will definitely buy a 180-square-meter mansion first.
By then, everyone in our family will be assigned a room.
By then, you won’t bother me anymore when I snore.
I want to buy a car for the rest..." Tang Jiayin said dreamily.
"You kid, stop dreaming. Finding a wife is a reality. You are almost thirty and you don't even have a girlfriend. Just dream about it," Tang Linde scolded.
"Who wants to be friends with you if you don't have a house? You can't let people sleep on the street." Tang Jiayin blurted out.
Suddenly, Tang Linde's expression changed and he lowered his head, "When the time comes, your mother and I will sleep in the living room and free up the room to be your new house."
