The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Upon reaching the stainless steel shelf, Zhang Ying's eyes sparkled. She vigorously wiped her hands, making sure she wouldn't get the stainless steel lunchboxes dirty, before reaching out to touch them. She exclaimed in amazement, "These bowls are made with such excellent craftsmanship! These must be very valuable!" She felt that one silver dollar couldn't even buy one of them.

“I set the price, so take as much as you want. Take 28 servings. If these stainless steel lunch boxes aren’t enough, we’ll use some large bowls instead.” After saying that, Ruan Mianmian saw Zhang Ying’s amazed expression and, remembering her earlier exclamation, smiled and said, “As for the technique, it’s indeed much better. Come on, let’s grab some more chopsticks and spoons and then go get the food.”

Zhang Ying stammered, "This, only two silver dollars, can it really buy this much?" The high-ranking leader had said that one should not take even a needle or thread from the masses, and she felt extremely uneasy about the young girl in front of her giving her so much.

She had been thinking about this issue when she got the quilt, but because she was too worried about Chen He, she didn't say much.

She felt it was wrong of her to take so much rice and sugar earlier and then take so many unnecessary bowls.

She wasn't being deliberately nagging; she just didn't want to take advantage of anyone, nor could she.

Ruan Mianmian repeated, "I'm the shop owner, if I say it's okay, then it's okay." Seeing that Zhang Ying still looked uneasy, she said softly, "Do you remember those tables at the entrance? Those are the cash registers. If the value of an item exceeds one dollar, an alarm will sound and the door will not open."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ying recalled that when she took the quilt out earlier, Ruan Mianmian had indeed thrown a silver dollar into a small opening as she passed the cashier, and the door to the counter immediately opened. She breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Ruan Mianmian decided to completely dispel this idea, and then said, "Besides, although we in the Western faction say we can't take even a needle or thread from the masses, we are willing to accept donations and aid, aren't we? Just consider it a donation from me. If it weren't for the fact that you have to buy things with money and you can't carry all these things, I would give you everything in this mall!"

As she said this, her gaze swept over the abundant supplies around her, and then she looked at Zhang Ying: "In our eyes, you are the founders of the great Dongda Kingdom. It is because of your sacrifices that we have our happy life. So, I am willing to give you these."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ying trembled with excitement, her eyes reddening: "So, it was our Western faction that led us to the final victory and carried on the Western faction's principles and spirit. Isn't that right?"

Ruan Mianmian nodded seriously: "That's right!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Zhang Ying wiped her eyes, but her face was beaming with a bright smile.

Ruan Mianmian knew that she was excited, so she didn't disturb her. Instead, she led her to get some chopsticks, spoons, forks, and other utensils.

Zhang Ying had no objection and followed Ruan Mianmian to get the spoons. Seeing how exquisitely made the spoons were, she sighed in admiration once again.

Seeing that the spoons, forks, and chopsticks had been taken, Ruan Mianmian waved her hand and said, "Let's go get some food." She led Zhang Ying to the deli section, looked at the bucket of preserved egg and lean pork congee, and saw that there was only half a bucket left. She then told Zhang Ying to lift the whole bucket onto the shopping cart.

Upon arriving in this area, Zhang Ying, who was dreaming about the future, was brought back to her senses by the aroma of food. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Before climbing the snow mountain, she had eaten something, but only half of it, about half a fist-sized piece of black noodles. She left the other half for her thirteen-year-old comrade, Heidan. So now, she was extremely hungry, and couldn't help but drool at the smell of food.

While helping to lift the porridge bucket onto the shopping cart, she exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "There are also steamed buns, mantou, and twisted rolls. Let's take more so that the soldiers can have a full meal!"

After hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, Zhang Ying felt relieved and nodded as she helped carry the steamer onto the shopping cart.

After packing the steamed buns and mantou, Ruan Mianmian led Zhang Ying to the meat section and went on a shopping spree—4 roasted chickens, 28 roasted chicken legs and wings, 3 large braised pig's feet, and 7 braised pig's heads.

She actually wanted to take more, but there were only so many baked ones, so she could only take these for now.

Seeing the glistening, fragrant roasted meat, Zhang Ying's mouth watered again. But seeing that Ruan Mianmian had taken all of it, she quickly advised, "Take only one of the chicken, pig's trotter, or pig's head. We still have soldiers behind us who need to climb this snow-capped mountain. Leave some for them."

Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll grill some more later." As she spoke, she urged Zhang Ying to continue shopping.

This time, I took half of each of the cold dishes.

She didn't know how to make sauces, so she simply added a little of everything. When she got to the chili peppers, she asked, "Can you guys eat chili peppers?"

Zhang Ying nodded: "Yes, we can eat. We can eat anything when we're hungry." She paused and then brought up the trip across the snow-capped mountains: "When we crossed the snow-capped mountains, the villagers told us to prepare chili water and ginger water, saying that if we got too cold, we could drink it to save our lives. Everyone drank some, more or less."

Ruan Mianmian felt extremely distressed upon hearing this, and her throat tightened.

At this moment, I should have said something, but I couldn't utter a single word.

Once the lump in her throat had subsided, Ruan Mianmian extended her hand to Zhang Ying and said, "Comrade, my name is Ruan Mianmian. May I ask your name?"

Zhang Ying reached out and shook hands with Ruan Mianmian, smiling as she replied, "Hello, Comrade Ruan. My name is Zhang Ying, and I was born in the year of Xinhai."

When Ruan Mianmian heard "the year of Xinhai", she was taken aback at first, and then said: "This is a very meaningful year."

“I’ve always been proud of this,” Zhang Ying said with a proud expression.

After packing the cold dishes, Ruan Mianmian led Zhang Ying towards the fruit section.

She didn't know what fruits were suitable for the soldiers to eat, but apples or bananas, which are common in the south, would definitely be fine.

Given that bananas don't take up much space, bananas were ultimately chosen.

Zhang Ying was speechless as she looked at the various fruits emitting a fragrant aroma.

Is this the future of prosperity and abundance?

90 year later...

Unfortunately, she probably won't live to see that day.

Ruan Mianmian was worried that the soldiers were starving and couldn't think of anything else they needed, so she said to Zhang Ying, "Let's take some food out first."

Zhang Ying suppressed her sigh, nodded, and pushed the shopping cart hard, following behind Ruan Mianmian.

As they approached the checkout counter, Ruan Mianmian noticed that there was still room in the shopping cart, so she added two more boxes of milk. Seeing the sausages, she stuffed them into the gap between the two shopping carts, aiming to fill them completely without leaving any space.

When paying at the cashier, Ruan Mianmian, who originally planned to throw in two silver dollars, had a change of heart and only threw in one silver dollar.

With the remaining dollar, we can use it to cover any remaining expenses before buying anything else!

However, she glanced at the KFC at the checkout counter and mentally called out to the system: "Baby, the soldiers are all at the checkout counter. What will happen if I let them eat without paying and then leave?"

If there are no problems, she'll let the soldiers exploit this bug and eat whatever they want!
