Chapter 14 Self-service QR code scanning? Chinese supermarkets are so convenient!
After seeing the prices in the fruit section, the audience in the live broadcast room were shocked again.

Especially the netizens in Korea, their defenses were completely broken.

[This watermelon costs one yuan per pound? It’s ten times cheaper than ours! ]

[That person actually took four dragon fruits at once! I usually hesitate for a long time before buying one! ]

[Oh my god, this price actually exists! ]

[The Japanese have never seen this, right? In China, watermelons are used to feed pigs! ]

[Feed the pigs? Stop feeding the pigs, feed me instead. I am willing to go to China and be a pig! ]

"Chen, there is a comment saying that China feeds pigs with watermelons? Is that true?"

Chen Lu nodded: "It's like this in some places. Watermelons are only sold for a few cents per pound, which is not enough to cover the round-trip shipping fee, so they are simply fed to pigs."

Feeding watermelon to pigs?
Korean netizens are furious!
With them, an ordinary watermelon can be sold for 100 Chinese Yuan!
If you bring a hundred yuan to China to buy watermelons, you can eat them until you die!

[Ah, bastard! Feeding watermelons to pigs, the Chinese are so wasteful! ]

[Do you know how to do business? Bring a truckload of watermelons to the country of kimchi and earn tens of thousands of dollars in a few minutes! ]

[Really? The Chinese are so stupid! ]

[Is it possible that there are too many watermelons in China to eat? ]

[Why don’t you donate some money to our country of kimchi? Do you understand the harmony between neighbors? 】

[Who the hell do you think you are? I won't even give you little bastards food to eat even if I'm feeding them to pigs! ]

In fact, watermelons in China were not cheap at the beginning.

The person who changed all this was Academician Wu, who spent three years traveling to all the melon fields in Northwest China and collected data on more than 40 local melon varieties.

After intensive research, they developed a watermelon variety with extremely high yield and strong adaptability.

Since then, China's watermelon production has soared, and the price has been falling all the way, truly entering thousands of households!
Academician Wu has been engaged in the watermelon industry for more than 60 years!

It took more than 60 years of unremitting efforts to enable the Chinese people to eat cheap and delicious watermelons.

There are many great people like her in China. . .

Chen Lu bought some fruits, some snacks, and some daily necessities.

This supermarket is very big and has a wide variety of items.

Anna is curious about everything she sees, like a curious baby.

As long as she showed interest in something, Chen Lu would put it in the shopping cart.

The little princess who comes from afar must be pampered.

Moreover, he had just obtained 100,000 Chinese Yuan, which he could not spend all. He simply could not spend all!
Show China through Anna's lens, gain recognition points, and get rewards.

Perfect closed loop!

In the end, the two of them bought a whole cart of things.

Chen Lu took Anna to the supermarket and prepared to check out.

"Chen, why is there no cashier?"

Anna was very surprised. In their country, there were relatively few supermarkets and there were often long queues at the checkout counters.

Especially on weekends, it will take more than ten minutes to complete the checkout.

"No need for a cashier, just self-checkout."

“Self-checkout?”

Chen Lu nodded and walked in front.

I saw two rows of self-service checkout machines neatly arranged, and several people were scanning codes.

[Self-service checkout machine? What the hell is that? I've never heard of it!]

[Do supermarkets in China no longer need cashiers? 】

[So many products need to be scanned, but this one machine can do it all? 】

[The Chinese are so confident in their customers? Can’t they just take the goods and run? ]

[I suggest that Heige be banned from talking in the live broadcast room, as he only thinks about buying for free all day long! ]

The audience opened their eyes wide and stared at the self-service checkout machine.

I want to see how this Chinese boy operates.

Like Anna, they had never seen this thing before.

I don't even know what self-checkout is.

"Look at me."

Chen Lu went over and turned on the machine, picked up a bag of apples and pointed it at the scanning port. "Beep!"

The screen displays the quantity, unit price and total price of apples.

Anna was stunned.

"It's amazing! I want to try it too. Can you let me try it?"

Chen Lu handed her a bag of bread and held Anna's soft and boneless little hand.

"Aim at this scanning port and let the machine scan it."

"drop!"

Bread also appears on the screen.

"Amazing!"

Anna felt a sense of accomplishment and scanned the codes one after another, not letting Chen Lu interfere at all.

When I swept the potato chips, I tried several times but it didn't work.

"Chen, there's something wrong with this machine!"

"It's not the machine that's at fault, it's the barcode that's at fault."

Chen Lu took the potato chips and entered the number on the barcode.

With a beep, potato chips also appeared on the screen.

Everything is scanned.

Chen Lu checked carefully to make sure there was no problem with the quantity of items and chose to pay.

A QR code appears on the screen.

He took out his mobile phone and scanned the code, which showed the payment was successful, and a receipt was automatically generated.

[This, is this QR code payment? Every supermarket in China has QR code payment! ]

[We in the United States haven’t popularized QR code payment yet, but they in China have? 】

[Who can tell me who is the developed country? ]

[Isn’t this machine amazing? It’s fully self-service, supermarkets won’t need people anymore! ]

[If I had this thing, I would never have to queue up at Walmart again! ]

[I will send an email to President Dai Ying, asking him to immediately popularize QR code payment and self-service checkout machines! ]

The audience all felt the convenience of self-service checkout and QR code payment, and some even turned on their computers and started sending emails to the president!

However, there are also people who attack China from a different angle.

[It is undeniable that this thing is very convenient, but have you ever considered the feelings of the elderly? ]

[Yes! Those old people definitely won’t be able to use such advanced things! ]

[Not only the elderly, but also all the homeless people, what should they do if they don’t have a mobile phone? ]

[Don’t these people deserve to enter the supermarket? This is indeed a country without human rights! ]

It was as if it was well organized to discredit China from every angle.

However, Chen Lu's words immediately slapped them in the face.

"If you don't know how to operate it, the clerk will help you throughout the process. It doesn't matter if you don't have a mobile phone. The traditional checkout method is also available. You just need to walk to the side for a dozen meters."

There is an old lady with white hair over there.

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he looked confused at the self-service checkout machine.

Just as Chen Lu was about to step forward to help, a female clerk came over.

"Auntie, can I help you?"

"Thank you for your help, little girl."

"It's okay, I should do it."

The female clerk smiled and helped her scan the items in the cart one by one.

When it comes to payment, tell her in detail how to pay.

The old lady has a bad memory and entered the password incorrectly several times.

The salesgirl didn't show any impatience.

Finally, I helped her deliver the things to the door.
