Meng Lan was so frightened that she almost fell off the bed. After blinking several times, Meng Lan was sure that it was not her eyesight, but her golden finger.
Fortunately, there is always a path, and God did not forget that she was wearing a book, and sent her the system as usual. Although Meng Lan's system was late, it was still delivered.
With excitement, Meng Lan pointed at the few lines of small words in front of her eyes with trembling fingers and read them carefully.
Supermarket system manual:
1. The number of supermarket products is refreshed at zero o'clock every day, and the product type and quantity limit increase as the level increases;
2. There is no limit to the number of times you can enter the supermarket every day, and the cumulative time is 60 minutes. The time can be increased as the level increases;
3. The supermarket is a one-time system, bound once and valid for life;
4. There are lockers in the supermarket to store players' personal belongings. The storage space expands as the level increases.
After reading the supermarket system manual, Meng Lan was overjoyed and had a strong idea in his mind: How to upgrade the supermarket?
As if sensing Meng Lan's thoughts, the supermarket system manual in front of him disappeared, replaced by the supermarket upgrade rules.
Supermarket upgrade rules:
1. Membership is divided into five levels: bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond. Bronze is the initial membership level. Each level of membership has different benefits.
2. Membership is upgraded to a points system, and every penny spent is equal to one point.
3. The supermarket provides long-term stored-value consumption services to members. Recharge 100 Wen and get 10 Wen. There is no cumulative upper limit. Stored value is non-refundable and points will be calculated in advance.
4. Supermarkets will hold consumer activities from time to time, such as holidays. All members are welcome to actively participate.
Note: The right of specific interpretation belongs to this system.
After reading this, Meng Lan basically understood the supermarket system. She now wanted to go to the supermarket. As soon as this thought came to her mind, Meng Lan found that the environment around her immediately changed, and it was exactly the same as the supermarket she opened before!
The vegetable area, fresh produce area, grain and oil area, and seasoning area are currently the only four areas that are lit. It seems that only these four categories are open.
As for the fruit area, dessert area, seafood area, snack area, cooked food area, daily chemical area and other areas, they are still black and white, and Meng Lan couldn't get past it even after trying it. It is estimated that it will be unlocked after upgrading.
Meng Lan visited the supermarket and found that the supermarket was called Huimin Supermarket and it really benefited the people. According to the prices in this book, brown rice outside is 5 Wen per catty, polished rice is 20 Wen per catty, chicken is 15 Wen per catty, and pork is 35 Wen per catty.
But in the supermarket system, it’s only half price. Meng Lan couldn't help but rub her hands when she looked at the supplies in the supermarket. Having enough food and clothing is not a dream. She will be well-off next year.
Meng Lan, who was very hungry, looked at the large amount of goods in front of her, her desire to shop became stronger, and a few lines of words appeared in front of her eyes.
[Member name: Meng Lan]
[Level: Bronze Member (0/10000)]
[Stored value amount: 0]
[Available balance: 5210 Wen]
Meng Lan stared at the line "Available Balance" and immediately realized that this should be the original person's deposit. She didn't realize that the original person actually had more than five taels of silver saved. She thought that this poor family only had a savings of eighty cents.
But soon, Meng Lan settled the matter. When I married three daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter received a bride price of fifteen taels from each other, and the third daughter even received a high-priced bride price of fifteen taels.
After all, buying a girl at this time only cost five or six taels of silver. Meng Lan thought to herself, if they dare to ask for it, they will give it to them!
Although the total amount of betrothal gifts for the three girls is as high as forty-five taels, there are so many places to spend money!
Marry the eldest daughter-in-law for five taels, the second daughter-in-law for five taels, and the third daughter-in-law for eight taels, which makes it eighteen taels. Thirty-five taels of silver were spent, and eighteen taels were left.
In addition, Meng Lan's youngest son He Tianci studied at the town academy every year, and He Tianci would ask Meng Lan for money every now and then. After so many years, these seventeen taels were almost spent.
The eldest brother He Chuanzong and the second child He Chuanjia work in the fields on weekdays and go out to look for work during slack periods.
Sometimes the two brothers would go to carry sacks and earn one or two hundred cash in a day. Sometimes when the tea plantation needed hired workers, the two brothers would go there and earn sixty cash in a day. During the Chinese New Year and festivals, they would also go to the town to find a place to kill chickens for others, and they could only earn eight cents from killing one. Anyway, as long as they can make money, the two brothers He Chuanzong are willing to do any dirty work.
In addition, she was originally an old lady who raised several chickens. She kept the eggs they laid for her grandson He Guangzu to eat and sold the rest for money.
The rice eaten at home is the lowest quality brown rice. The old lady always buys old rice to save money. The side dishes are the wild vegetables that her second granddaughter He Pandi digs in the mountains every day.
Through the memories of the original person, Meng Lan sharply found out the problem, that is, the little son He Tianci was a worm!
If it weren't for subsidizing him, the family, with two men in their prime, He Chuanzong and He Chuanjia, wouldn't be living so hard haha.
Over the years, Meng Lan subsidized all the money earned by the eldest and second child to the three-fang family, and he also tightened his belt to live a hard life. Not only did Meng Lan not understand the original person's behavior, she was also greatly shocked.
"Dong dong——"
Meng Lan was still standing in the supermarket when she heard a knock on the door. She quickly left the supermarket and lay down on the bed.
"Who is it?" Meng Lan asked outside the door, imitating her original tone.
"Mistress, Mom asked me to call you to unlock the door. She is going to cook." The person speaking outside was Meng Lan's second granddaughter He Pandi.
"Okay, I got it." Meng Lan agreed, got up from the bed, opened the door, took a look at He Pandi, and walked towards the kitchen.
The original body has always been on guard against the wives at home. She has locked up the food she usually eats. Only when it is time to cook, will she open the room where the food is stored and stare at the wife who is cooking. I was afraid that she would put in an extra grain of rice.
Meng Lan did not go directly into the kitchen, but took out a key from his body and opened the small room next to the kitchen where food was stored.
Meng Lan's eldest daughter-in-law, Tian, was cooking at noon today. When she saw Meng Lan unlocking the door, she walked over tremblingly with the pot in hand, preparing to go in and fill it with rice.
Meng Lan, like her original self, stood there and watched Tian's rice. Tian stopped after filling two ladles, then came out with the pot and went straight to the water tank, scooping a few large ladles of water into the pot. Meng Lan knew from her posture that she was preparing to make rice porridge, but this was inevitable. A little too...shabby.
"Do you still eat rice porridge with wild vegetables for lunch?" Meng Lan asked Tian.
Tian Shi trembled when she heard Meng Lan's voice. She thought her mother-in-law blamed her for putting too much rice. Seeing that Meng Lan was just asking an ordinary question, Tian Shi answered her honestly.
"Mom, it's still rice porridge and wild vegetables, as well as the pancakes made yesterday."
"How many pancakes are left?" Meng Lan continued to ask, she frowned and didn't know what she was thinking.
Mrs. Tian felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, and her mind was quickly thinking about how many thick flour pancakes were left in the kitchen. But the more anxious she was, the less she could remember, and she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be angry if she answered too slowly, so in the end she could only speak stumblingly.
"Mom, there are eight or nine pancakes left, which should be enough for two or three days."
After saying that, Mrs. Tian lowered her head without even daring to take a breath, for fear that Meng Lan would get angry the next second.
