In the evening, the American delegation went to visit the business district of the Steel Fort.

What makes David and others sigh is that this place is really lively!

After the end times, and the days of hiding in Tibet all day in the past, people today prefer to join in the fun.

And after strengthening, the ability to resist cold is also stronger.

So even on a cold night in January, many people are willing to go out shopping.

You must know that there are a lot of fun and delicious things in the business district.

Vendors setting up stalls on the streets are everywhere. Many of them are self-employed vendors, and some mercenary groups sell what they find outside.

There are a wide variety of products, such as pickled frozen meats, frozen fruits, sugar gourds, popsicles, clothing, old electrical appliances, old furniture, old toys, game software, DVDs, and all kinds of snacks.

People who pass by stop to look at their favorite products from time to time.

And in heated malls, it's even more lively. It is the go-to place for young people to date.

As in the past, there are high-end designer clothing, jewelry, perfume counters, high-end restaurants, large department stores, and even a children's playground.

The high-end clothing, jewelry, and perfumes sold here are all pre-apocalyptic products brought back by the logistics department and mercenary groups of the Steel Ciep when they went out to collect supplies. Jewelry and perfumes, in particular, are not currently available for production in these steel forts.

These things, if placed in areas where food and clothing cannot be satisfied, may not be worth much.

In the face of the severe cold, in the past, there were hundreds of thousands of off-the-shoulder dresses, which were even inferior to a dirty and old ragged cotton clothes.

Diamonds and perfume are not a substitute for bread to fill the stomach.

But here in the Iron Castle, people have a stable life again, and food and clothing are not a problem.

The beauty of human beings is once again revealed, and the demand for high-end clothing, jewelry and perfumes has returned to life.

So these things are now in the Iron Castle, and they often sell for a high price. Reclassified as a luxury item.

But of course, the price is still much cheaper than in the past.

In the past, platinum diamonds that could not be used for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, can now be bought in the Steel Castle for only one or two hundred contribution coins.

It's like buying a toy.

In the past, a dress of more than 100,000 yuan can now be bought in the Steel Castle for only a few hundred to a thousand contribution coins.

And there are many types of restaurants. There are Western restaurants, Chinese restaurants with various tastes in Sichuan, Lu, Yuehuai, Japanese and Korean cuisine, and even French cuisine. It can meet the taste needs of different people.

At this time, it was also a place to eat, and David and the others could see that many people were eating in these restaurants. There are even people waiting in line outside the more famous restaurants!

Regis couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "Chen, there are so many rich people here! ”

But Chen Yuan asked, "Why do you say that?" Who are the rich people you are referring to? ”

"Of course, I mean those who come here to eat!" At a time like this, to be able to come to such a high-end place to consume, aren't you rich people here? ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Haha! Not necessarily. Although the level of consumption in these restaurants is higher, it is not to the point where only the rich can come. Chen Yuan spread his hands and said to Regis and the others as a matter of course: "Ordinary workers can also afford to consume." ”

"How is this possible!" Regers was even more surprised: "Your ordinary workers can also eat so well? ”

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded: "As long as you don't eat it every day!" Of course! ”

Then he explained: "The monthly salary of an ordinary worker here is about 2,500 contribution coins. It's not that high, but it's not expensive for their daily needs! For example, we have an ordinary one-bedroom house with a kitchen and bathroom, and the monthly rent is only about 500-700 contribution coins. In addition, other daily expenses, such as food, water and electricity, transportation, clothing, etc. The monthly expenditure is about 1500 contribution coins. And a meal in a restaurant here is generally between 100-200 per person. Of course, you can consume it. You know, nowadays people don't have much pressure to see a doctor, even if it's an incurable disease, a dose of treatment is fine. So you don't have to save a lot of money. ”

"I see!" David nodded from time to time, but his heart was already turbulent.

Although Chen Yuan said it simply, it is not so easy to make ordinary people afford such a good life.

Even the United States of the past was only at its most glorious. Adequate supplies are needed to ensure it.

This is fundamentally different from the false prosperity of the past.

In the supermarket, the shelves of goods are full.

All kinds of goods, the variety is comparable to the big supermarkets of the past. You can buy almost all daily necessities and food here.

You can even see a lot of fresh vegetables.

Seeing that Davy, Regis and the others couldn't help but envy the people who lived in the Iron Castle.

***********

"Oh! OMG! Chen, you guys are so prosperous here! How did you do it! And even a bar! I really want to sit down when I have time! ”

Indeed, there are bars in the business district of Steelcastle, which makes Regers yearn for it.

Chen Yuan replied with a smile: "Yes! ”

He looked at the time and continued: "It's only half past eight, and our visit for today is almost over. Next, if you are not tired, I can accompany you to sit down. We have shops and bars that are usually open until half past eleven in the evening. ”

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "But we have a certain amount of drinks per person per day here. You also know that today's people have all the strength, and it is difficult to control it if they drink too much and make trouble. So I can't ask you to drink too much. ”

The bars in the Iron Castle are currently officially run and very formal, which makes it easier to control the amount of alcohol consumed per person per day. And every alcohol consumption is recorded, but don't want to drink this one and then change to continue drinking.

Regers' eyes lit up, but he didn't respond to Chen Yuan's words immediately, but glanced at David first. After all, he was the leader of the delegation, and Regers, as a security officer, naturally needed his consent to leave.

David smiled and nodded, "Go Regess." Anyway, the Iron Castle is safe here, and you can relax in the evening. ”

"Haha, that's great!" Regers then said to Chen Yuan: "Chen, I worked hard for you that night!" ”
