Chapter 1 The Strange Shopkeeper
May 31, 2018
Jiangzhou City, Fanxing Park.
By the artificial river, a simple and elegant building is located on the riverside, and a large flag flutters in the wind at the door, which is against the noisy streets in the distance, but it is also quiet and fragrant, gentle and elegant. If it weren't for the word "shop" written on the flag, maybe this place could really soothe the mind and become a rare place of tranquility in the downtown area.
"Hey, boss, add some water, you've drunk all the tea, and you don't add water, how do you do business." I saw a man in his thirties frowning and his tone with a hint of displeasure.
"Do you have no eyes or long legs, and you don't see what is written on the table?" came a lazy voice under the flagpole, and anyone could hear the disdain in his tone.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and immediately looked at the desktop, only to see a line of small words written in the lower right corner of the desktop, which read: "The product is sold, no after-sales; if necessary, please take care of yourself; if you don't take care of yourself, go out and turn right; if you want to be crazy, the stick is waiting." (*^_^*)”
The four words that did not meet the service standards of modern people at all came into everyone's eyes, making the people who saw it suddenly have a soaring blood pressure and a look of anger, especially the smiling face behind these four sentences, as if it was a silent ridicule.
"Take care of yourself? A grocery store owner is still dragging like this, you just do the work of serving people, you know. Phew, what the hell, if it weren't for your place close to the attraction, you thought it would come to you, it's really unlucky!"
The man's words were filled with rage, like a powder keg about to ignite.
"Hey, look what you can do. If you don't want to, you can go out and turn right at any time, don't talk nonsense with me here, it's good to talk nonsense with you for so long, and I didn't charge you another chat fee. ”
The lazy, disdainful tone, coupled with the sinister words, suddenly made the surrounding air condense, and a strange aura permeated here.
"Hey, little comrade, what you said is not right, how can it be reasonable to open a store to do business to drive customers out, besides, it is just to let you add some water, young people should not be so lazy, but I don't know that you are lazy now, and the years will double the reason. ”
Feeling the thick smell of gunpowder in the air, an old man in his sixties who had come to travel opened his mouth to reconcile, trying to ease the current situation.
"Hey, this old man, what you said is really right, this kind of service is simply to discredit the nearby attractions, and it is not worthy of the image of Jiangzhou, an international city, if international friends come, I am afraid that this face will be lost abroad." ”
Hearing that someone was helping, the middle-aged man's confidence instantly became sufficient, and he even began to speak in an official tone.
"Hey, I am still an international friend, but I am not worthy of the image of an international city. Besides, I'm a self-care shop, so I'm not happy to let you take care of yourself?"
"When you eat, how do you know how to take care of yourself? How do you know that you pick up water when you take the train, and how do you know how to go to see a scenic spot instead of finding someone to see it on your behalf?"
"And you, old man, you are very reasonable when you say that you are lazy. But you have to know that everything needs a premise, you say I'm lazy, then do you know why I'm lazy? Do you know what I did before I was lazy? You don't know anything, and you use your thoughts to measure a person here, but you don't know that what you see with your own eyes may not be true?"
The shopkeeper's fluttering words came from under the flagpole again, and there was a thick disdain in his tone.
"Oh, it seems that my old man is wrong, so I wonder if you have any excuse for being lazy?"
The old man's eyebrows raised, and his tone couldn't help but increase a little. In his heart, the shopkeeper is just making excuses for being lazy, what is it to work hard at a young age, what is it to be tired, who is not from this stage. If you can't even endure this little suffering, then it will be difficult to achieve great things in the future.
"Hehe, why should I explain so much to you, even if I do, I'm afraid that in your old heart, I still think that I am just making excuses, you have preconceived things, why should I talk nonsense with you. Again, take care of yourself or get out. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head slightly, and his tone became even more unkind.
"You.... You...."
The middle-aged man's face was already full of anger at this time, and even the old man who was helping was full of anger at this moment. If the shopkeeper's previous words were just passively explained, then what he said just now has become an active expulsion.
"Haha, Su Hao, you kid is shooting again?"
Just when the two were in a dilemma, a hearty laugh broke the awkward atmosphere, but the words that followed made people look nervous. Because from this sentence, everyone understood one thing, that is, these two people are very familiar, and the name Su Hao should be the name of this strange shopkeeper.
"Old man Xue, why don't you keep your old shop, which is known as a century-old inheritance, and come to me again?"
Su Hao's voice came from near the flagpole, and he was still so polite.
"Hey, your kid's hospitality is still the same as always, plus your strange store rules, no wonder you will become a famous strange shopkeeper on the Internet. Haha"
As the voice fell, an old man wearing a Tang costume and short silver-gray hair appeared in everyone's field of vision energetically.
"Hey, Su Hao. In fact, I am also very curious, why every time I see you, you are in a lazy state, but from what you have done, I can see that you kid is definitely not a lazy person and is not what others say is difficult to achieve. What's the matter? I'll tell the old man today, and let me see the old man for a long time!"
Ignoring everyone's gaze, the old man surnamed Xue asked with a deep curiosity as he walked.
On the recliner under the flagpole, Su Hao turned his head for the first time to look at the old man who was walking towards him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his head again, while also spreading out the books in his hand and covering his face.
"Old man Xue, you have to know that curiosity kills cats, in this world, there are always some things that science can't explain, and there are always a few people who are mavericks. While you are curious and envious of others' past, you don't know that others are also envying you. If ......"
Before he finished speaking, Su Hao suddenly remembered his experience, shook his head with a wry smile, and did not continue.
"What if?"
Hearing the two words, Old Man Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smelled a trace of unusual breath from these two words.
"If you don't hurry up and buy something and get out, I'm afraid that your treasure of the town store will be sold by your stupid son. ”
Su Hao's head is still buried under the book, and even the position of the book has not changed. The crowd just heard the words coming from the bottom of the book, and once again refreshed their understanding of the relationship between the two.
"Hmm, the town ...... that sells Lao Tzu"
Before he finished speaking, Old Man Xue's walking body suddenly stopped, and he looked at Su Hao under the flagpole with a somewhat nervous expression.
"The 8th on shelf 3, take it yourself. ”
Hearing Su Hao's words, Old Man Xue and the surrounding tourists shifted their eyes to the shelves of this store, only to see a bottle of pale green drink in the 8th position of the No. 3 shelf, but when everyone saw the trademark, they immediately felt crying and laughing, because there were two big characters clearly written on the trademark - Fanta.
"This.... Really can ....."
Old Man Xue's tongue began to tremble, and he eagerly walked to the shelf and held the bottle of "Fanta" firmly in his hand. There were tears in his eyes.
"Old man Xue, I remember telling you how to use it. Pay the money and you're good to go. ”
Su Hao's tone of voice remained unchanged, and it seemed to be a normal thing in his eyes.
I saw the old man Xue, tremblingly took out his mobile phone, opened the mobile banking tremblingly, found a familiar account number in the transfer record, and began to transfer.
"Ding" A text message prompt message came out of Su Hao's trouser pocket, Su Hao put aside the books on his face, took out his mobile phone and looked at the content of the prompt message, and nodded with satisfaction. However, in the next second, Su Hao's face was full of horror.
"The Enlightenment Essence has been successfully sold, and the door of time and space has been opened!"
