Chapter 676 A Successful Person Who Licks the Candy Wrapper Once and Throws It Away
Since recruiting Mr. Jia, the breakfast village has been developing rapidly.
In addition to record highs in resident population and villagers, the size of the market is also growing.
Mr. Jia led people to build simple standard stalls, stipulated the size of each stall, the time for stall opening and closing, and also began to collect the management fees of the stalls.
The sugar in the manor has become the hard currency of Blue Stone Ye Neixing. A large number of people come here every day. The flow of people also represents business opportunities. Many forces have even established sentries near the breakfast village. Recently, large quantities of supplies have appeared. The prototype of the transaction.
Around the breakfast village, Old Man Jia and the villagers reclaimed a large area of land and planted local crops on the Blue Stone Leaf Star.
Farmers have an instinctive ability to distinguish crops. By simply collecting them, they seem to know which crops can be grown and produce high yields.
On the periphery of the fields opened by farmers, there were still a large number of homeless people gathered, divided into more than a dozen large and small gathering places. Although they were simple, they were trying to follow the rules of the breakfast village. Old Man Jia did not drive them away, but instead After training several apprentices and helping them establish order and organization, Zhuang Buyuan felt that if he was not careful, a spark would start a prairie fire.
The biggest wish of these homeless people is to join the breakfast village and compete to do all the hard work. However, Old Man Jia does not treat them harshly, at least he can ensure that they have enough to eat.
According to Mr. Jia's estimate, the population gathered near the breakfast village, including the floating population, has reached tens of thousands.
The huge flow of people also creates more transaction needs.
These vagrants were originally poor and had nothing to live with. Not to mention manor coins, they didn't even have a scrap of manor coins. Generally speaking, transactions could only be done by bartering.
But their supplies are too poor. If they want to eat a bird egg, they have 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. This was finally the late bird egg.
Maybe after changing the straw hat, I would be so hungry that I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ate the straw hat directly, and I couldn't even hold on to the fruit.
A waste of energy and a waste of energy.
Recently, Zhuang Buyuan has sold Blue Stone Ye Neixing’s candies, which have been enriched in many varieties.
However, people in the Exile Era are still in the early stage of eating sugar, and their demand for sweetness is the first priority. The purer the sugar, the more popular it is.
So in addition to sugar cubes, the most popular one is a kind of brown candy wrapped in simple sugar paper, which is probably the kind that children don’t eat nowadays.
For homeless people, eating candy is quite a luxury. Even if you eat up a piece of candy, you will not throw away the candy wrapper. If you are greedy, you will take it out and lick it.
And these candy wrappers are colorful and very beautiful. After collecting them, even just looking at them makes me feel happy.
I don’t know when candy wrappers suddenly became popular, and I don’t know who started exchanging candy wrappers for items, but before you know it, candy wrappers became a 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...
Mr. Jia discovered this spontaneous currency one morning when a refugee used candy wrappers to buy meat. He felt that this method of exchange was very suitable for implementation in the breakfast village.
So he immediately officially endorsed this currency and launched a "collecting sugar paper in exchange for sugar" activity.
Ten candy wrappers are exchanged for one sugar cube, which equates the value of the candy wrappers to one-tenth of a sugar cube.
Old Man Jia is not an economic expert. He just did it subconsciously, but this coincides with the development trajectory of currency itself.
Sugar wrappers also have their advantages as currency.
First of all, plastic itself is relatively tough and not easily damaged.
Secondly, the plastic candy wrappers made on Earth cannot be counterfeited in the Exile Era.
Third, the total amount of candy wrappers is limited, and Mr. Jia’s “collecting candy wrappers for sugar” activity also appropriately recycles the excess candy wrappers circulating in the market.
Although it also has shortcomings, for example, it is actually a kind of goods itself, a packaging and add-on for candy bars, but gold itself is also a commodity and does not affect its circulation.
After "candy wrappers" became the official currency of the breakfast village, the people in the breakfast village, just like the rural children decades ago when supplies were scarce, frantically collected candy wrappers, and they carefully put away the candy wrappers. , hidden flatly in a wooden box, pressed under a stone. Some people have accumulated ten pieces and can’t wait to redeem them, while others enjoy the joy of accumulating more and more candy wrappers and getting thicker and thicker.
However, there cannot be just one currency, it must have different denominations to facilitate circulation.
So far, the two currencies circulating in the Exile Era, the Blood of Time and the Manor Coin, have extremely large face values and are completely unsuitable for circulation.
Now that we already have the subject matter of "candy paper", we can naturally continue to improve it on this basis.
In the era of exile, the purchasing power of a candy wrapper, if converted into state currency, was about one dollar.
It doesn’t have to be too complicated in the beginning.
On this basis, adding another "five yuan" or "ten yuan" can be easily circulated.
But this time, we can no longer use candy wrappers as currency so casually. It must be more recognizable and reflect the characteristics of the breakfast village and the style of the manor. In other words -
"No matter what, you have to print my handsome profile on it!" Zhuang Buyuan said!
…
In the morning, Zhuo Lei, the leader of the Songlin Town Expeditionary Force, held a candy in both hands and licked it while walking into the breakfast village.
Beside, many people looked at the candy in his hand with envy.
Ever since eating the candy, the once ambitious Zhuo Lei had forgotten that he was looking for 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 in the final battle. Instead of smashing his family fortune on the battlefield, it was better to enjoy the delicious candy.
He holds the candy bar in his hand every day and rolls it around in a drunken state. He feels that candy makes the world better, and he likes this beautiful world.
In order to exchange for more sugar, the people of Pine Forest Town set up camp near their original residence, built large-scale construction projects, and worked diligently. They continuously transported various bird eggs and materials to the breakfast village and exchanged them for delicious sugar. The pieces were transported back to the Pinewood Town station, and even back to the Pinewood Town in the Exile Era.
Songlin Town was also the first force to build a sentry station outside Breakfast Village.
After finishing a piece of candy, Zhuo Lei handsomely licked a handful of candy wrappers and then threw them away.
The colorful candy wrapper was fluttering in the air. Before it fell into the air, a small farmer grabbed it in his hand and eagerly licked it on the candy wrapper.
"Boy." Zhuo Lei hugged his shoulders and looked at him triumphantly: "Work hard, and one day you will be like me, only licking the candy wrapper once and then throwing it away!"
The little farmer looked at him with shining eyes, full of envy.
This is a successful person!
Feeling that his little vanity was satisfied, Zhuo Lei walked into the candy 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. Hearing this, he said, "Zhuo Lei is here again. Do you want to buy cash today or get candy coupons?"
"Candy...votes?"
what is that? Is it a new kind of sugar?
