Chapter 5: Get a 20% Discount
The fragrance of fresh fruits and vegetables rushed to his face, and Han Lin's fatigue of the day was also swept away, and his whole body was instantly full of vitality.
Meng Ci didn't come, Han Lin remembered that Meng Ci said that she would definitely go back to the supermarket every day when she got off work, so Han Lin decided to work normally today, and she must talk to Meng Ci about the supermarket when she gets off work.
As soon as he changed his clothes, Han Lin heard the wind chimes in front of the door ringing.
"Welcome to Fairy Supermarket, do you need something..."
Han Lin was immediately stunned when he looked up, looking at the customer in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a while.
In front of him stood an old man covered in dirt, his clothes were tattered, his face was dark, he couldn't see clearly, and his eyes were sunken like skeletons; The hair was shaggy, the beard was disheveled, and he was lame on one leg, which was full of rotten sores; The old man limped to the cash register with a dirty stick under his arm.
"It seems to be a beggar passing by, it's really not easy in the middle of the night" Han Lin took pity on the beggar, and just wanted to take out some money from his pocket, when he suddenly saw the three lights on the top of the supermarket, and the red light turned on.
Premium customers! This beggar-looking old man turned out to be a high-class customer!
Han Lin was suddenly shocked, he began to wonder if the supermarket's identification system was broken, but it was not appropriate for him to rashly treat people as beggars, so he had to ask tentatively.
"Uncle, what do you need to buy?" Han Lin said with a smile.
"I'll go around..."The old man replied to Han Lin hoarsely, and then limped towards the supermarket with a crutch.
As soon as the old man turned around, he was carrying a gourd more than half a person tall and the thickness of a bucket behind him, and a red rope was tied to the gourd, which was automatic and fluttering slowly without wind, which made Han Lin even more strange.
Why are you carrying a gourd on your back at such an age?
Han Lin was afraid that the old man would fall, so he hurriedly ran over to help.
"Hey... The young man has a good heart... I don't need to be helped," the old man said with a smile, still limping with his crutches.
Han Lin saw that the old man insisted on going by himself, so he had to say: "Okay, then let's do it, uncle, you put down the gourd behind you and I will keep it for you, and I will give it to you after you finish buying."
The old man waved his hand and smiled: "Forget it, my gourd is not heavy, it is not in the way... By the way, young man, do you have any shoes in this supermarket? β
Han Lin lowered his head and glanced at the flip-flops that the old man was wearing that could no longer see the color, and couldn't help but feel sour.
"Of course there is, I'll take you there, you slow down"
The old man refused to let Han Lin help, so he had to slowly lead the way in front and took the old man to a row of shelves specializing in selling shoes in the clothing area.
"Uncle, look, this row of shelves is full of shoes, all types of shoes, sandals, travel shoes, sneakers, casual shoes... You can choose whatever you want, and you can try the right one."
The old man nodded, he put one arm on crutches, and with the other hand took out a pair of shoes from the shelf and looked at them, shook his head and put them back, took another pair and looked at them, and then put them back again.
"Hey... I said, young man, your supermarket is very expensive...", the old man said helplessly.
Han Lin looked at the shoes on the old man's feet, and he really didn't feel good in his heart, so he took the initiative and said: "It's okay, uncle, you have taken a fancy to those shoes, I'll give you a discount."
The old man was happy when he heard this, he pointed to the top of the counter and said, "Hey, I'll take a fancy to the old emperor's cloth shoes on the top."
Han Lin looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and suddenly had a black line on his face - the old emperor's cloth shoes were a special commodity!
"Old Imperial Capital cloth shoes, comfortable fabric, breathable and soft, dredged meridians, wear-resistant and durable, price tag: 300"
After reading the explanation, Han Lin sighed in embarrassment and said, "Uncle, this is a special commodity in our supermarket, and the price is relatively expensive, are you sure you want to buy it?" β
The old man seemed to be hesitating about the price, he picked up the old imperial capital cloth shoes and looked at them, and said to Han Lin: "I really want to buy them, it depends on how much discount you give me, young man."
This made Han Lin difficult, Han Lin really wanted to help this old man, but Meng Ci didn't tell him about the discount, and what was marked on it was definitely not the amount of money, and Han Lin didn't know what the scope of the discount was.
Out of pity for the old man, Han Lin decided to make his own decisions and give the old man a discount, and the big deal was to deduct his salary.
"That's it, uncle, I'll give you a 20% discount and calculate 240 for you!"
"Bang dang!"
The old man was so shocked that the crutch fell directly to the ground, and Han Lin quickly picked it up and put it under the old man's arm.
"What do you say! Give me 240? The old man asked in disbelief with a neck of green tendons.
"Hmm... Yes, you think there are fewer discounts, do you? Han Lin said embarrassedly.
"Hahaha! No, no, you misunderstood, I think there are too many discounts, I'm embarrassed! I bought these shoes! β
Han Lin breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the old man's happy face, Han Lin also felt very relieved, but now he really wondered what the price tag at the back of the supermarket meant, he felt that this old man must be an old man, but he could afford to buy special goods with a high price tag, what the hell is going on?
Han Lin took the old man to the cash register, he entered 240 on the machine, and then the old man took out a beige card from his pocket and swiped it on the machine in front of the cash register, and Han Lin saw that his points changed from zero to 2.4.
"Young man, you have a good heart, in order to repay you, I have decided to bring my friends to you tomorrow to spend money, what do you think?" The old man asked with a smile.
"That's great, thank you, uncle," Han Lin said respectfully.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, I should thank you."
After speaking, the old man put the old imperial cloth shoes he had just bought on his feet, and Han Lin was shocked to find that the rotten sores on the old man's legs seemed to have been sucked away, receding like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, the rotten sores of the old man's lame legs disappeared without a trace.
"Comfortable! It's comfortable! The old emperor's cloth shoes dredge the meridians, and they really live up to their reputation! Hahaha! β
Han Lin's eyes widened and he rubbed his eyes in disbeliefβhe was sure he wasn't mistaken.
"Young man, we'll have a meeting later," the old man smiled and walked out on crutches.
Han Lin came back to his senses and looked at the old man's flip-flops, and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle! You forgot to take these slippers! β
"I'll leave it for you as a memento! Hahaha! β¦β
After the old man left, Han Lin endured the sour and smelly smell, picked up the slippers and put them in the shopping basket at the door of the supermarket, thinking that he would take them out and throw them away when he got off work for a while.
"Vigorous spicy strips, after eating, the power is titanic; The old imperial capital cloth shoes, put on the meridians and channels... It seems that as long as it is a special commodity, then the effects of the gods will be realized, is this supermarket opened by a superpower department? Han Lin muttered in his heart, he was now waiting for Meng Ci to answer the doubts in his heart as soon as possible.
β¦β¦
Time passed minute by minute, and Han Lin kept staring at the time on the wall and outside the supermarket, eager for Mengci to come back quickly.
Since the old man dressed like a beggar left, there were no more customers to buy anything, so Han Lin stood in front of the cash register until the sky was dawning, and looked at the time on the wall, it was already 4:40.
"Jingle Bell~"
Han Lin heard the wind chimes ringing and quickly looked up, it was Meng Ci who pushed the door and walked in.
"Sister Mengci... You look tired today..."
Han Lin saw that Meng Ci's face was haggard today, and the snow-like skin looked very thin and weak, as if he was overworked.
Meng Ciqiang squeezed out a smile, then pulled a chair and sat at the door of the supermarket, with both hands on the back of the chair, his head on his hands, his eyes slightly squinted, as if he was resting.
Han Lin didn't dare to disturb Meng Ci, so he had to stand quietly aside.
The long hair like a waterfall hangs down on the chair, and the two ears peeking out slightly through the hair, which looks very cute, and the blue dress worn by Mengci, the whole scene is like a painting, so flawless.
After a few minutes, Meng Ci lightly opened her lips, sighed heavily, looked at Han Lin with her eyes slightly open, and said lightly: "Xiao Lin, if there is nothing to do, you can get off work..."
Han Lin nodded, he took off his work clothes, and then remembered that he wanted to ask Mengci about special products, but when he saw Mengci's haggard face, he couldn't bear it for a while.
Meng Ci looked at Han Lin standing in front of the cashier with a tangled face, and said, "Xiao Lin, look at how you are so preoccupied?" You have something to tell me."
Han Lin looked at Meng Ci's smiling face, hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "Well, yes, I do have something... Sister Mengci, I found out that our supermarket... Something is wrong..."
When Meng Ci heard Han Lin say this, she sat up with great interest and said with a smile: "Oh? Why? β
"Because the spicy strips I exchanged yesterday will really be powerful after eating them! There is also a strange old man who came today and put on the cloth shoes of the old imperial capital to really dredge the meridians, and the rotten sores on his legs are gone! Is it what the special product says at the back, and it will really take effect after use? β
Hearing this, Meng Ci narrowed her eyes softly and nodded with a smile.
"So why is that? Do these goods have superpowers? Han Lin continued to ask.
"Xiaolin, I know that you have countless doubts in your heart, but now is not the time for you to know the truth, when the time comes, I will naturally tell you everything, you just need to do what I say now" Meng Ci said softly.
"But..."
"Okay, it's time for you to get off work, what's the matter tomorrow, today's 2.4 points have accumulated for you" Meng Ci said and pouted like a child and pushed Han Lin.
"Well... Wait a minute, I'll throw these shoes away... It's too stinky..."When Han Lin was pushed out of the supermarket by Mengci, he quickly took out the old man's flip-flops.
β¦β¦
Standing at the intersection of the Three Realms, watching the sun rise, Han Lin took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, although he had doubts in his heart, it didn't matter to him, so Han Lin stopped asking for troubles.
"There are too many unusual things in the world, not to mention that I only came here to work to earn pocket money, whether he has special commodities or not, let's work hard..."
Han Lin crossed the road with the old man's dirty flip-flops, and he was looking around for a trash can, but he suddenly felt a sinking in his hands.
Han Lin looked down and suddenly jumped up in fright.
"What is this?"
