Chapter 139 Going to the Market
After the apocalypse, being beautiful has become a woman's biggest weakness—or, in other words, the biggest difficulty in survival.
Similarly, women who are beautiful and can live well are all smart people.
And smart people will know their status very clearly!
There are three women around Qin Shiyuan, one is a concubine of Sequence Ninety-Four, and the other two are the wives of a military man who is close to a Sequence level powerhouse. These three people have a deep understanding of what to do when facing this handsome man in front of them. A gesture ---- no matter how respectful and cautious it is.
Arthur, on the other hand, ignored the three pretending RBQs, and walked to Qin Shiyuan's side while holding a gift box on the coffee table.
The "best friend" who had been sitting next to Qin Shiyuan gave way to Arthur with a wink.
"How did you come back?"
"The battle is over, I'll come back and have a look."
Arthur pulled the gift box on the coffee table and pushed it in Qin Shiyuan's direction.
"Look, what I gave you."
"what?"
"A little thing from the material reserve... Although I am not a member of the military, the military still gave me a lot of rewards for this battle."
Qin Shiyuan slowly opened the gift box, and what was placed inside was a set of exquisite and gorgeous jade jewelry.
Gently rubbing the items in the gift box, Qin Shiyuan's eyes showed joy.
Jewelry looks gorgeous and noble, but in fact, in the last days, the real value of this expensive decoration may not be as good as a piece of jerky.
What Qin Shiyuan likes is nothing more than the intention contained in the jewelry...
After carefully looking at it, Qin Shiyuan closed the gift box and asked Arthur with a smile.
"Didn't you bring anything for Nicole? Be careful she's pestering you again~"
Arthur shook his head with a wry smile, and took out a brand new big doll from the space ring.
"By the way, where's Nicole?"
"Sleep upstairs."
Arthur knew the real situation. It was nothing more than dislike of the three women around him being too noisy.
And the three RBQs are also very self-aware, they looked at each other and interjected.
"Yuanyuan, let's go first."
After speaking, the three turned around and were about to leave.
"wait."
Arthur opened his mouth and stopped the three women.
"Come again tomorrow, and I will accompany you to the market to have a look."
After speaking, Arthur gently grabbed Qin Shiyuan's hand.
"If you want to go, go there, I think, Qin Tian probably won't say anything."
…
At this time, Qin Tian, just like Wen Yu, was constantly wandering in the treasure land of the City of Eternal Sky.
In the previous wars, Qin Tian also played a significant role. Although Qin Tian was not in the hands of the military, Lin Haifeng did not give Qin Tian any benefits because of this. Instead, he decisively granted Qin Tian access to the treasure land.
For Lin Haifeng, it is a permanently open treasure land anyway, it doesn't matter how many people go in, and it is common sense to open a permission to give a favor.
Although there are not many rewards in the treasure land, for Qin Tian, it is better than nothing, it is better than doing nothing.
After Qin Shiyuan and Arthur finalized their date to go to the market tomorrow, Qin Shiyuan still told Qin Tian the news.
Originally, Qin Tian refused, but after hearing that Arthur would protect Qin Shiyuan's safety, he reluctantly agreed.
My younger sister is not a vase that I keep in captivity. It is good to go out to relax, let alone Arthur.
As for the relationship between Arthur and Qin Shiyuan, Qin Tian didn't have any intention of forcibly intervening - his sister had already reached the age of marriage, and Arthur, in general, was considered a more suitable candidate... ..
Thus, a small matter that no one would care about, like wandering in the street, happened quietly under everyone's noses.
And this is also the beginning of Lin Haifeng's "Sea King Control Plan".
…
the next day.
Arthur came to Qin Tian's residence early in the morning.
And Qin Shiyuan got up earlier than Arthur, she finished dressing up early, and sat in the living room with five "ladies" who came earlier, chatting nonsense.
"Where's Nicole?"
Arthur ignored the friendly expressions of the five "ladies" standing up and nodding, and asked Qin Shiyuan.
"Still upstairs, she doesn't want to go."
Arthur nodded.
"It's fine if you don't want to go, so let's go now?"
After finishing speaking, Arthur stretched out his right hand like a gentleman, and at the same time lowered his head, making an inviting gesture to Qin Shiyuan.
Qin Shiyuan pursed her lips and smiled softly, ignoring Arthur's etiquette, stepped forward and directly took Arthur's arm, and said with a blue breath.
"Have you brought enough money? I have to buy a lot of things today..."
Seeing Qin Shiyuan's natural expression and movements, Arthur knew that Qin Shiyuan had already had a very high recognition of himself, so he grinned immediately.
"Of course the money is enough, but we agreed in advance that we are only allowed to shop until five o'clock in the evening..."
"why......"
Qin Shiyuan pursed her mouth, pretending to be angry on purpose like a spoiled child.
Arthur lowered his head, put it in Qin Shiyuan's ear, and said softly.
"At five o'clock in the evening, I booked a restaurant. It is said that it has a good reputation in the Yanjing gathering place. I thought... Maybe we can have dinner together? You, me, just the two of us ..."
Hearing this, Qin Shiyuan covered her mouth and laughed lightly, and when she looked at Arthur, something extra suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"That depends on your performance today."
…
Going to the market is a way of behavior handed down by Chinese people since ancient times.
Originally, in the big cities before the apocalypse, things like going to the market had gradually disappeared, replaced by large shopping malls that were open all year round, but after the apocalypse, the activity of going to the market reappeared in the Yanjing gathering place.
One is that profiteers suppress prices too hard, which greatly reduces the harvest of some scavengers--for this, scavengers will definitely not do it, after all, it is something they bought with their lives.
Second, after the end of the world, no one except the military has the ability to afford large-scale comprehensive shopping malls.
The third is that war may happen at any time, and the military's management of various markets is quite strict.
The most critical point is that the supply of goods is unstable, and there are not many people with spending power.
Moreover, the sales and purchase of goods are not targeted.
The superimposition of various factors made things like going to the market reappear in the sight of the survivors.
Every Sunday, scavengers, merchants, and professionals who want to buy items and props will gather in a certain street in the outer city of Yanjing gathering place to choose to sell or buy items and props, and the military also acquiesces in this kind of activity. The existence of trading methods, every time this time comes, military forces will be dispatched to supervise the regulation and security of the entire market.
This formed a seemingly chaotic but orderly market, seemingly dangerous but actually safe, uncertain trading methods but extremely lively bazaars.
This is the origin of the Yanjing Gathering Place.
And this time the episode...
It was after the opening of the Gate of the Demon Realm that the outer city bazaar was held for the first time. Under the operation of "certain people with good intentions", the scale of this bazaar can be called the largest ever.
Of course, for Arthur and Qin Shiyuan's group, the bigger the market, the more people there are, and the more lively it is. Under the protection of Arthur and the soldiers brought by the "ladies" behind them, trouble and danger No, on the contrary, the more lively it is, the happier Qin Shiyuan is shopping.
After all, women.
I always like to go shopping and spending in lively places...
