Thousands of people blocked the entrance of the supermarket, and the long queue even reached the base. Every household sent people who did not have to go to work to line up. They even brought their own small mats and benches, and some even brought tents and sleeping bags.

The entire base was almost mobilized, except for those with permanent jobs, everyone else was here.

The elderly can't stand in line for so long, but they will come to watch the excitement.

For them, shopping in the supermarket is like a festival, a rare ripple in the boring life of several years.

Although the supermarket is large, there are tens of thousands of people in the base no matter what, and the supermarket has too few employees. If not enough people are brought in each time, the efficiency will be low.

And they snapped up the purchases too fast, Wu Yan and the others exhausted all their energy just to replenish the stock.

Although the goods in the supermarket can be purchased from the system, they cannot be automatically replenished to the shelves. The goods distributed to the warehouse by the system can only be sorted and loaded manually.

It may be the same as the protective cover, and the automatic replenishment will not be opened until a certain turnover is reached.

It was not easy for Cao'er and the others. Not only did they have to answer various questions, but they also had to lead the way and help Wu Yan and the others to load goods.

Everyone was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. Within half a day, almost everyone was hoarse.

After all, there are so many people, talking basically depends on shouting.

Others were not idle either.

Zou Ming, Chen Shu, and the others acted as cashiers—they have force value, and they don't worry about someone who doesn't want to pay and force their way out.

Ye Zhou also asked Sarah to watch the monitor with him.

In case of some petty theft.

"The rice is gone!" Cao'er shouted, "Wait until we can restock!"

After Cao'er finished yelling, Wu Wife not far away also yelled: "The cabbage and tomatoes are gone!"

The residents did not disperse because of this, fearing that they would leave at this time, and they would disappear when they came over later. They all waited around the rice bucket. .

Not many people even want to buy cornmeal to earn the difference, and only rice is on their minds.

Many young people have not eaten white rice several times since they were born.

Even if the supplies were sufficient before, when they could buy tickets, only those who worked in factories could afford them, and they could buy some to go back and improve their meals.

But people's desire for rice is still imprinted in their bones.

They can always hear the old people say that in peaceful times, almost every household in the south used rice as their staple food.

Obviously, the rice has no taste, but after steaming, the plump, crystal clear, steaming rice grains seem to be able to soothe people's hearts in an instant, and all the sufferings of the past can disappear with the hot steam.

Cao'er was panting, she couldn't squeeze out a smile now, even if she managed to squeeze one out, it would be uglier than crying.

She pointed in one direction, and someone rushed over and said, "The fresh meat is over there, the frozen goods are over there, and preserved products like sausages are over there."

As soon as she finished speaking, another person had already walked in front of her.

Cao'er could only continue to show the way.

She could lead the way before, but now she can only point.

There are so many people that it becomes difficult to walk in the supermarket.

"There are still ready-made clothes!" Someone shouted.

"And shoes!"

Although the factory is still producing cloth, there are not many factories that make ready-made clothes. Residents used to buy cloth and go back to make it themselves, or pay a little money for someone to process it. The color of the cloth cannot be chosen, and the factory only produces the most readily available. The cloth dyed by the dye has only those colors back and forth.

When there is no choice, people certainly don't care about the beauty and ugliness of the clothes.

But now some people have chosen, and they are still so cheap, many people who have already bought rice, vegetables and meat rushed to the daily necessities area.

——But the clothes sold in the supermarket are all clothes bought by the catty. The quality is very average, but there are definitely many colors and patterns.

Just like Cao'erniang's beach skirt, it was something Ye Zhou felt would be a loss if he didn't get in, and it would definitely be a bargain in his original plane.

"If recruiting people, I don't want to be a soldier." Ye Zhou drank milk tea and looked at the monitor. "The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious."

The advantage is that all soldiers are disciplined, and orders are prohibited, and they will not have crooked thoughts, or they will be cleared out quickly if they have crooked thoughts.

But the downside is that the soldiers will inevitably monitor them when they come in.

If something happens, I will tell Yang Guoqin.

Ye Zhou didn't want to be stared at.

Sarah nodded, she understood Ye Zhou's concerns, she turned her head and asked, "Do you want to invite the children who came first?"

"Judging from their appearance, they probably haven't been out of the base much, they are relatively simple."

Ye Zhou hesitated: "They are not yet adults..."

Isn't this child labor?

Sarah: "In extraordinary times, you cannot abide by the laws of peaceful times. You are not oppressing them by giving them jobs, but helping them."

Sarah gave an example: "For example, in ancient times, production capacity was low. If every family waited for their children to turn eighteen before letting them work, how many people would starve to death?"

"Do you find it strange that many people in ancient times became apprentices at the age of twelve or thirteen?" Sarah said, "No way, you have to consider your social background."

Ye Zhou sighed: "It's not a question of whether I accept it or not. I understand the truth, but the base has their regulations. Under 15 years old is considered a minor and cannot work."

Sarah: "...I forgot."

The two looked at each other.

"By the way, they can work part-time, work-study, and don't pay them wages." Ye Zhou said suddenly.

Sarah looked at Ye Zhou, speechless for a moment.

She didn't expect that the boss would become a profiteer so quickly, and he didn't even want to give out his salary.

Ye Zhou noticed the look in Sarah's eyes, and he quickly explained: "It's not that we don't really pay wages. We can pay for food and live to see them, but we don't give money, but directly give equivalent goods."

"In fact, other employees are similar. Although they have points, they can only be consumed in supermarkets."

Sarah understood: "That's fine, I don't know when they will come next time, and whether they can come out."

Ye Zhou didn't care about this: "They can't come out, we can go in. I haven't entered the base yet, so I'm a little curious."

He was curious about what the inside of the base looked like, and how it was different from the peaceful city he was in.

Maybe not much difference?

After all, the technological level of this world before the end is about the same as his plane.

"I guess I can earn a lot today." Ye Zhou chatted about a light topic, "The turnover may have been relatively high in the previous week, and it will gradually decrease, and then stabilize."

Ye Zhou: "I didn't expect much, I'm satisfied if I can earn hundreds of thousands a day."

Because the base often has no electricity, the price is high and the profit margins are high. Electrical appliances, such as microwave ovens and induction cookers, are neglected and no one buys them.

Instead, someone asked the shopping guide if there was a generator - of course not.

And if there is, where do they buy fuel?

For solar generators, supermarkets do not sell them either.

"How long will it take to let us in!" The people still waiting in line saw the people with big and small bags coming out, their eyes were red with envy, "They bought so many things, there will be more when it's our turn." No?"

"That's right! They buy less! They're done buying, what should we buy!"

The people behind are looking at them with reproachful eyes.

People who just came out of the supermarket can only shout: "There is no shortage of goods! They have been replenishing! It's just a little slow!"

"What are you looking at me for?! I didn't buy much! Someone bought [-] catties of rice just now!"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd erupted: "Eight hundred catties?! When will he eat it?!"

"Is he crazy?!"

"He ate so much?!"

"Why don't supermarkets limit purchases!"

They all think that supermarkets are run by the government, and there is a shortage of government supplies. If there is no limit on purchases, if the people in front buy it, what will the people behind do?

"Where is that man?"

Someone has already asked through gritted teeth.

The customer who bought [-] catties of rice was standing at the back door of the supermarket. He never dared to go out from the main entrance. For the [-] catties of rice, he even put on a mask, and while holding a cigarette for Zhou Wen, he said, "Friend, I'll just wait here, and my friend will come over later."

"I don't want these rice myself." The customer sighed, "There are many relatives and friends, and my wife is still working in the factory at Changfeng Base. I plan to bring some to her when there is a convoy, and the child is also with her. .”

Changfeng base is much safer than Luoyang.

After all, they are not on the front line.

Zhou Wen took the cigarette—he had seen others smoke it, and although the boss told them that cigarettes were not a good thing, he was still curious.

Zhou Wen put the cigarette in his mouth like a customer, took a lighter, and then—then there was no more, he didn't know how to smoke.

Customer: "How did you get hired? You used to be a soldier?"

Zhou Wen shook his head. He was not good at dealing with people, so he thought for a while and said, "No, the boss took us in."

He will always remember that it was the immortal who gave him a morsel of life.

That morsel of grain was enough to buy his life, but the immortal never regarded them as slaves, so he was terrified and anxious to give all he could.

The customer was shocked: "Isn't it an official job?!"

He was so shocked that he didn't even notice that the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground, and he grabbed Zhou Wen's hand excitedly: "Brother, your supermarket must still be short of people?! What do you think of me?! Can you go talk to your boss? Say?!"

"As long as I can apply for the job, I will give you all my first three months' salary, no, I will give you all my one-year salary!"

"Brother, I have seniors and juniors! I don't have a stable job yet!"

"Are you married? Let me introduce you to someone? Many people in the building where I live are still unmarried!"

"Do you like men or women?"

"Still transgender?"

The customer wished he could be a matchmaker for Zhou Wen right now.

It would be best to send Zhou Wen to the bridal chamber now.

Zhou Wen was also dumbfounded, he said dryly: "I'm a man, and I have..."

Before he finished speaking, the customer: "I know you are a man! What is your orientation?!"

Zhou Wen: "..."

orientation?What is orientation?

He knows that he is a man, and he wants to introduce a man to himself?

Is he a monster?
