At the end of a day''s training, the probationary Island guard ray ter stepped into the department store in Hongshi town with a tired face and went straight to the food area.
As soon as he entered the hall where the food area was located, he saw a huge ice in the middle of the hall, in which a huge sea monster was frozen, and the excited crowd around the ice.
The former is the magic shrimp used by shops for sale. The first batch of magic shrimp captured by the shrimp boat this time was left 13 by the Lord''s government and distributed to nearly 13 departments. The rest were all sold.
The latter are housewives who come to shop, and civilians who come to see the strange news.
In the alien world, although magic shrimp often haunt the coastline, most civilians have not seen them. This time, they heard that a legendary magic shrimp was displayed in a department store. How can they restrain their curiosity.
This is actually the marketing method of the person in charge of the store, using the curiosity of the common people to attract people and promote sales.
Leiter crowded into the noisy crowd and saw a one person high sign standing next to the magic shrimp. The sign was full of words, and the title was a line of common words in capitals:
"enjoy the magic shrimp dinner in spring."
The following is the specific price information. At a glance, Reiter is a bit tongue smacking. There is only one word in his heart - expensive.
"Chilled shrimp meat, 220 pieces per kilogram."
"Chilled shrimp foot meat, 250 pieces per kilogram."
"Chilled shrimp tail meat, 300 pieces per kilogram."
There is no doubt that this is one of the most expensive seafood that Reiter has ever seen.
Compared with the scallop meat which is cheap to 5 tongnals per kilogram, the price of magic shrimp meat is absolutely sky high. Recently, there are a large number of sea fish caught in the shops, and the price of most sea fish is only 5-20 tongnals.
Even some of the more precious fish, the price will not exceed 100 tongnalkg, compared with the price of magic shrimp, it is also cheap.
Leiter can''t help shaking his head. No wonder there are more onlookers and fewer buyers here.
At the same time, he heard voices from the crowd.
“…… It''s said that the Lord cooked a dinner with magic shrimp yesterday. If you can eat the delicious food cooked by the Lord, it will be worth your life.... "
“…… Come on, you don''t want to think about your identity. The Lord''s house banquets are all those high masters. You can only stand by and smell the fragrance at most... "
……
“…… It''s said that the magic shrimp is very delicious. Unfortunately, the price is too expensive. Otherwise, I want to buy a kilogram of it to taste it... "
"Yes, even if it''s the cheapest shrimp meat, it''s not cost-effective to buy dozens of kilograms of fish meat for one kilogram of tongnar."
Rettle smiles, squeezes out the crowd, walks to the counter and joins the buying queue.
The people queuing up here to buy magic shrimp meat are all the rich people in the territory. They are either the rich among the indigenous people, or the high-income people from various factories, or the family members of civil servants.
Three minutes later, Reiter lined up at the counter.
A female shop assistant took a look at his island guard uniform and asked respectfully:
"Hello, sir, what do you want to buy?"
Leiter took out a small metal stamping brand from his pocket, put it on the counter, and said:
"I''m Leiter, a member of the island protection team. This is my soldier''s name plate, No. 746-00168. I got a benefit coupon for magic shrimp meat from the island protection team, and I can buy it at half price."
At this point, he took out a beautiful paper coupon stained with a little sweat and handed it to the clerk.
After a few breath, she nodded and said:
"Mr. Reiter, this is really the store''s welfare coupon. The number on it is consistent with your soldier''s number. You can use this coupon to buy up to 5kg of magic shrimp. Which part do you want to buy "Shrimp meat..."
After hearing the voice of the shop assistant, the nearby customers all looked over and looked at Reiter enviously. There was a low voice in the crowd. From time to time, some people said, "the treatment of the island protection team is really good", "nothing good can do without the island protection team" and so on.
The civilians in the territory know that the welfare of the island protection team is absolutely the top group in the territory, even better than that of the civil servants, only slightly weaker than that of the Institute of Rune.
Whenever new things appear in the territory, such as new goods in the shops, there are always Island guards waving all kinds of coupons to buy them, and the discount range is very large, often 50% off, 60% off, sometimes as low as 30% off or 40% off, which is really eye-catching.
In fact, Renault, a cunning guy, did it on purpose. There are several deep meanings hidden in it.
On the one hand, the island protection team has to fight for his life on the battlefield in the future. It is very risky to fight for his Lord. If the treatment is not good, why should people be willing to work hard?This kind of small favor costs little money, but the effect is amazing. The island protection team has high loyalty to the territory, which is also one of the important reasons.
On the other hand, this way can enhance the attraction of the team, improve the social status of the team members, and make more civilians yearn to join the team.
The reaction of onlookers also fully proves this point.
Otherwise, why don''t Renault send things directly? Why do you want to take off your pants and fart like "fat coupon"?
The purpose of doing this is to show the general public directly. People who often come to department stores often see stupid soldiers waving all kinds of welfare vouchers to buy things, and every time they will attract a lot of envious eyes.
At this time, Leiter naturally felt the eyes of others. He couldn''t help holding his chest and stomach, standing up like a javelin, and then he said with pride:
"I want to buy 5kg shrimp meat..."
There was an uproar around him, and there were more and more eyes focused on him. If these eyes were warm, I''m afraid that he would burn immediately.
The reason is very simple. Even if there is a half price discount with the welfare voucher, you need 550 copper nals to buy 5kg of shrimp meat, that is, 5 silver nals and 50 copper nals, which is equivalent to half a month''s salary of many workers.
With such a large sum of money, Mr. Reiter threw it out without blinking an eye. It can be seen from this that the salaries of the island guards are so rich and enviable.
The slightly attractive salesgirl opened her eyes wide in an instant. She was staring at Reiter tightly. A faint blush appeared on her face with a little freckles, and her voice also had an inexplicable meaning.
"All right, Mr. Reiter. We''ll give you 550 copper nals."
Leiter took out his purse from his pocket, counted out five silver nals and five copper coins with the denomination of "10 copper nals" and put them on the counter.
After checking, the smile on the shop assistant''s face became sweeter:
"please wait a moment, I''ll go to the freezer to get the shrimp meat for you right away..."
Before she finished her words, Reiter said:
"I still have a magic shrimp meat coupon, which is due to the excellent performance in training, the highest officer of the island protection team, the coupon personally issued by Mr. Muse...."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to the other side.
The shop assistant was surprised and took the paper in her hands. She only looked at it once. Her mouth was wide open and her eyes were not right. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she bowed slightly to Reiter and said in a trembling voice:
"Mr. Reiter, it has the signature of Mr. Goodall, the director of the Department of Commerce, and this exchange coupon has With it, you can exchange 15 kilos of magic shrimp for free. You can exchange it once or several times. How many kilos do you want to exchange... "
The people who ate melons were shocked.
We often see welfare coupons, but we''re not surprised. Convertible coupons are very rare. It''s the first time that many people hear this kind of thing, especially the sentence "free exchange for 15kg of magic shrimp meat" in the mouth of the salesgirl, which makes people doubt whether they have heard it wrong.
My God, 15 kg of magic shrimp meat, how many copper nards should it cost?
4500 copper nals, nearly half gold nals!
This is definitely a great reward!
So, what did Mr. Reiter do to get this amazing reward? And I got it from the muse.
At this time, as long as it is not a fool, everyone thought of one thing: This Mr. Reiter, there must be a bright future!
woodlouse''s guess is right. At the end of the monthly training and assessment of the island team, in all the more than 200 quasi reserve Island players, he was the top one and scored far more than second.
As a result, he became the focus of the island protection team. Even the LORD had heard of his name.
Now, everyone knows that as long as Reiter doesn''t make mistakes or die, he will rise to the top of the island protection team in the future.
In the face of the adored salesgirl, Reiter said with an air of complacency:
"take 2 kg of shrimp foot meat first, and 3 kg of shrimp tail meat, save the rest first, and then take it later."
The salesgirl showed her most cordial look and said eagerly:
"OK, Mr. Reiter, a total of 10 kilograms of magic shrimp. I''ll get it right away..."
Then she trotted away from the counter and ran to the cold storage.
Only a minute later, the little gasping salesgirl appeared holding a wooden frame full of ice. She handed the wooden frame to Reiter and rubbed his hand intentionally or unintentionally when he took it.
She looked at Reiter with a pair of watery eyes, and said quickly:
"Mr. Reiter, because you buy more magic shrimp meat at one time, this wooden frame is a gift, and there is no need to return it. Here is a recipe of magic shrimp meat, which is a cooking method from the Lord''s house, please take it.""In addition, you need to pay special attention to the preservation of magic shrimp meat. Every once in a while, you need to add new ice cubes. It is recommended that you buy saltpeter to make ice. Saltpeter is available in the store, and the price is not expensive, but this way can only be kept for 3 days at most."
"If you have any questions, please come to me at any time. My name is Emily..."
With a smile of thanks, Reiter turned and walked out of the hall, leaving behind the reluctant salesgirl.

"Savannah, look what I bought..."
As soon as he stepped into the front door of his house, Reiter began to shout excitedly.
"Dong Dong Dong... "
In the direction of the kitchen, there was a sudden sound, which seemed to be the sound of wood hitting stone.
Leiter could not help showing a trace of sadness. He knew it was Savannah''s footsteps. When she fled the mainland, her right leg was cut off by the black bastard in a bloody breakthrough. Later, she had to install a prosthetic limb.
When a girl with a thin figure appeared in the living room, the sadness on rettle''s face quickly faded away and replaced by a happy smile.
He quickly stepped forward and hugged the girl. Regardless of her continuous protest, he put her on a seat, opened the wooden box in a treasure like manner, took out a piece of white magic shrimp meat, and continued to say:
"Savannah, you see, this is the magic shrimp meat I bought in the department store. I heard that it is extremely delicious and nutritious, and even the Lord praised it Mouth... "
“…… The store also gave you a recipe. Later, I''ll make you a magic shrimp dinner like Lord''s. Savannah, you are too thin. You should strengthen your nutrition. Magic shrimp meat is just right for you... "
“…… Let me tell you something. There''s a complete magic shrimp in the shop. It''s really amazing. I don''t know how the Lord caught it. After dinner, I''ll show you... "
Savannah listens with a smile on her face, and gives out bursts of praise.
It''s obvious that there''s never been a smile hidden in her face since she saw her short legs.
Rettle couldn''t help reaching out and stroking her cheek to tell a story he had heard.
"Savannah, as you know, the big event that happened in the territory a few days ago was that the Lord met a powerful sea monster when he went out to sea and accidentally lost an arm..."
"I overheard a piece of news from Lord Muse today. It is said that there is a magic potion that can regenerate the severed limb. The Lord will find a way to buy this potion the next time he goes to the mainland."
Seeing the huge shock and uncontrollable joy on Savannah''s face, Reiter grabbed her shoulder with both hands and said with a smile:
"Your Highness is a powerful and extraordinary person. His news will never be false. I think that with the strength of your highness, you will succeed in getting this kind of medicine, and there may be extra medicine..."
His voice became firm:
"Savannah, believe me, as long as I make great contributions to your Lord, I can ask your Lord to give me a medicine to cure your leg..."
Savannah''s breathing became rapid, and there was a huge expectation in her eyes, but she soon recovered. She took retel''s hand and said in a low voice:
"retel, I have prosthetic help now, there is no problem in walking, I don''t want to see you take risks..."
Leiter clenched Savannah''s hand with his backhand and said with a confident smile:
"Savannah, the island protection team is now using powerful magic air guns, which are no longer ridiculous cold weapons. The combat risk is much lower than before. Even the awakened black orcs can never stop the volley of air guns..."
"By the way, there is another thing. In today''s examination of gun shooting, my shooting skill is the best. My Lord has heard of my name..."
"I also heard that after a period of time, the island protection team will have a large-scale operation, and the whole island protection team will go out at that time..."
Looking at leitel''s face, Savannah sighed imperceptibly.
