Chapter 62: This Is a Place for Commoners?
The commoners poured into the Supermarket right after Liu Feng went inside. They had long heard about the Supermarket, but it had previously always been closed. They had heard knocking, striking, and screaming sounds from the Supermarket from time to time. After that, there were rumors about how the Supermarket was a place that everyone wanted to go to and that once they went there, they would not want to leave. When they do leave, they would always take something away with them.
That was a simple form of propaganda. Many civilians worked in the Supermarket, and they were stunned by it when they were being trained the previous day. The commoners were taken aback when they saw the four beastkin guards, and they even became a bit quieter.
Carter and Fez were also taken aback, thinking, Does Liu Feng not have anyone left to use? How could he let beastkins work here? To let the vulgar beastkins work here, this place definitely isn't good. But they couldn't walk back out because of the crowd, and they could only walk into the Supermarket along with the crowd. When they got in, they were stunned.
The floor was smooth and made out of concrete, There were several counters in front of the gate surrounded by people. Most of them were children. From time to time, some of the children left the counters and ran to their parents to ask for money to buy candy. There were shops on both sides of the road that sold different things. Many of them were close as they didn't have enough products to open. There were benches for resting on both sides of the road. There were also wooden barrels spread all over with the words "trash can" written on them.
The commoners were stunned and thought that they had come to the wrong place. They felt that the place should be for nobles, not commoners.
In addition to waiters, there were professional guides that began to introduce the place to them.
"Welcome to the Wooden Fragrance Pavilion. There are wooden bowls carved by carpenters here," a woman in fine linen clothing said as she led a woman in coarse linen clothing inside a shop. The woman in coarse linen clothing was very restrained and didn't even know where to put her hands. She looked at the items on the wooden shelves in a daze.
Liu Feng couldn't bring too many things from Earth, as his storage space was only two cubic meters and he could only travel once per day. As such, he had to do things the way that was most suitable for this era.
The Agricultural Products Section was extremely lively. There was meat sold on many platforms. Before, it cost a dozen copper coins to buy a kilogram of meat, but now, they could use one copper coin to buy a few kilograms of meat.
They also didn't have to purchase meat by the kilogram anymore, because there were weighing tools that could measure the weights of items accurately. They can measure from about 50 grams to a few kilograms.
The tools were produced by the Department of Scientific Research and had the City Lord's Mansion symbol on them. The citizens believed Liu Feng, so when they saw the symbol, they believed that the tools were accurate.
Liu Feng was using the Supermarket to slowly set the rules of the life in Xi Yang City. In the future, the people that had come to the Supermarket would have to use products with the City Lord's Mansion's symbol on them. Because without the symbol, no one would buy the item.
