Chapter 127: Buying Rice with Gold
"What currency? Could it be RMB?"
Jingtian was curious.
At the same time, I am also a little worried that if it really is RMB, it will be just like waste paper.
"No, it's gold!" said Wang Lian.
"gold?"
Jingtian raised his eyebrows and quickly asked the system in his mind; "Is gold useful?"
"Of course they are useful. Gold and silver will be necessary for system upgrades in the future. Both the upgrade of the God of War and your own strengthening will require these precious metals." The system responded straightforwardly.
When Jingtian heard what the system said, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The main thing is that the system mentioned his physical enhancement!
“How should I price gold and silver?”
Jingtian knew that the system was very clear about everything happening around him, so there was no need to explain much.
"The system estimates that one gram of gold can be exchanged for one point of energy. The specific external pricing is up to the host to decide." said the system.
"Then I really need to calculate it carefully!" Jingtian raised his eyebrows.
As a top university student, this conversion is not difficult.
But Jingtian soon discovered that the energy points exchanged for crystal cores and the current pricing of food supplies were obviously not a match.
Fortunately, you have the final say in everything here.
"How about this, if you don't have a crystal core, you can buy it with gold..."
"Really? That's great, I want to buy white rice."
"I want to buy some salt."
"And me, I buy meat, but is it really fresh pork?"
Jingtian took the gold as soon as he opened his mouth.
The survivors were excited again, and each of them looked excited and praised loudly.
"Let's write another copy of the price list later."
After Jingtian finished speaking, he explained the pricing .
The little girl nodded quickly.
Tong Yue ran back to the car and soon ran down with a writing board.
This word board was placed side by side with the previous one.
Apparently, food supplies became subject to a dual pricing standard of crystal cores and gold.
"One gram of gold is worth two ounces of rice, one pound of soybean oil is worth ten grams of gold, five grams of gold is worth a bag of salt, meat is worth the same as rice... Fifty grams of silver is worth one gram of gold."
On the surface, the pricing of gold and crystal cores seems to be similar.
But if you look closely, there will definitely be a difference.
There may not be anything at the beginning, but after a long time, there will definitely be people who resell it and make a profit from the difference.
Jingtian could think of this, but he didn't care.
Whoever can make a profit from the price difference is the smart one.
It is only natural that people with brains and courage will live better anywhere.
Once the price tag was revealed, the survivors became excited again.
By the way, is this rice expensive?
Of course it’s expensive!
It’s already sky-high!
In the heyday of the times, gold was 400 yuan per gram, but now it can only be exchanged for two taels of rice.
Then a pound of rice would cost two thousand yuan.
But now is not a prosperous time after all, and gold is not that valuable.
Within the stronghold, there are fixed trading points in the inner city where you can exchange some food and supplies.
However, ten grams of gold can only be exchanged for one kilogram of miscellaneous grains, which are also mixed with soil.
And after working hard all day, you can only get 10 grams of gold as wages!
"I want to buy a pound of rice."
"I want to buy a pound of meat."
"I want to buy a pound of rice and a pound of meat!"
A moment later, the survivors exploded and rushed forward madly.
Yuwen Shang saw that the crowd was about to get out of control and was about to draw his gun.
Jingtian waved his hand, and the crowd that was rushing over was immediately frozen.
Even if the people behind pushed, it couldn't be moved.
"Line up. We have limited staff. Anyone who dares to mess around will be disqualified from purchasing."
Jingtian said lightly.
I have to say that Jingtian’s move was extremely shocking.
Let the survivors calm down quickly.
The survivors who were immobilized turned pale with fear and blinked continuously.
Jingtian waved his hand to lift the restriction.
Now everyone behaved themselves and started to queue up .
Wang Lian and others quickly divided the work.
Wang Lian and Yuwen Shang checked the weight and paid for the goods, while Tong Yue collected the money.
The big boss Jingtian naturally has a lot of free time.
"Jingtian, can I help too?"
Liu Changshui rolled his eyes and asked Jingtian for instructions with a hint of flattery.
"That's great. If you want to stay here, I will give you some supplies, but you have to tell me the news about Lan Ya first." Jingtian said.
"Haha, let's talk about it later. Let's talk about it after we're done."
Liu Changshui said with a laugh, then ran forward to help.
Soon the first transaction was completed.
When the survivor saw the rice in his hand, which was white and very clean, he burst into tears.
Others felt the same way.
It has only been a year since the end of the world , but they feel like they haven't seen real rice for a long time.
When Jingtian saw that the gold that Tong Yue received was actually small gold beads weighing one gram each.
Apparently, the gold currency here has also begun to be formalized.
The survivors bought food excitedly, and then ran away quickly in joy.
They had to hide the food they bought immediately or eat it directly, otherwise it might be stolen.
No one dared to store too much food, as doing so might result in losing both life and money.
One person, two people, ten people, a hundred people...
In just over ten minutes, more than a hundred people had completed their purchase.
And only one bag of white rice was consumed.
After all, the survivors bought it by the pound.
A few people can also buy some sausages and meat.
As for the relatively cheapest soybean oil, no one bought it for a long time.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
This is when the trading is hot and explosive.
Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind the crowd.
Then I saw a group of about twenty people rushing towards this side.
Half of them are people with special abilities, and the other half are gunmen like Yu Wenshang.
