母蜂的复仇

However, would anyone really buy these things? Du Yue carefully observed the shops along the way. In the end, she came to a conclusion—many of the shops here were about to close down. Only some shops that sold daily necessities could keep themselves afloat.

After all, at this time, people did not have to wear new clothes or dress up, but they needed many daily necessities. The most common items in the shop were the daily cleaning and sanitary products. Du Yue had many toiletries in her space, so she was naturally not interested in them.

The two of them walked down three streets before they finally found a store that sold food. Seeing that Du Yue had stopped in her tracks, He Xing asked her, “Shall we go in and take a look?”

Du Yue nodded. “Sure, let’s go in and take a look! She was also a little curious about what kinds of grains the grain stores here had and what the prices were.”

There were four strong men standing at the entrance of the grain store. They were chatting, but their eyes were always on the people passing by the grain store. One look and one could tell that they were the bodyguards hired by the grain store. If anyone was bold enough to come and steal the grains, they would be beaten up badly by these guys.

Du Yue glanced at them out of the corner of her eye, then walked into the grain store with He Xing. The shop was about 80 square meters. As soon as they entered, they could see that there was a cashier counter directly opposite the door, and a scale was placed next to the cashier. On both sides of the shop, there were all kinds of woven bags containing food. There were labels on the bags, on which the prices were written.

Perhaps it was because it was early in the morning, but other than the woman at the cashier, there were only Du Yue and He Xing in the shop. The woman had a very young face, and her features were delicate and outstanding. She was wearing a sleeveless denim top with a white dress that had ruffled edges. She looked like an exquisite doll. The woman’s face was covered in makeup, and even her fingernails were painted with red nail polish.

In order to judge a person’s living conditions, one had to look at their hair and hands in addition to their face. People who worked hard all year round would have rough hands and dry hair. However, this woman’s hands were very fair and soft, and one could tell at a glance that she was someone who had not endured hardship. Her hair was also lustrous and shiny. It was obvious that she had been carefully taking care of her appearance.

Before the apocalypse, such a delicate girl could be seen everywhere. However, it was now three years after the apocalypse, but she was still able to maintain her beauty. Her hair and nails were done meticulously. She either had extraordinary skills or an extraordinary background. Although Du Yu and He Xing could not tell which one applied to her, it did not matter.

Du Yue and He Xing stood in the store for a long time without saying what they wanted to buy. The woman at the cashier was not in a hurry either. She just smiled and looked at them quietly. Her pair of beautiful eyes revealed an indifferent yet charming gaze as she sized up Du Yue and He Xing.

Of course, Du Yue was not only looking at the woman. She was also looking at the food and prices on both sides of the shop. There were many types of grains here. Other than the most basic rice and flour, there were also glutinous rice, millet, and sorghum rice. There was also quite a lot of flour, such as sweet potato flour, corn flour, sorghum flour, and mung bean flour. There were also several common beans and peanuts. In addition, Du Yue also saw wheat husks and chaff.

These two things were used to feed livestock before the apocalypse and could only be bought in feed shops. They were not seen in grain stores. Now, not only were they being sold in the grain store as food, but they were also not cheap.

From the prices written on the labels, Du Yue also knew what the common currency here was. The common currency of the first base was contribution points, but here, it was integrity points. For fine grains like white rice and flour, one catty of it cost five integrity points. For things like wheat husks, rice husks, and chaff, one catty of it cost one integrity point, which was a good price. The prices varied. After a while, Du Yue and He Xing decided to turn around and leave.
