Chapter 5 Three Years
78 Franklin Street, Manhattan, New York, is a famous ...... with a history of more than ten years Old shop.
Earlier, it was a silverware shop that was not doing well, but three years ago, the owner waved his hand and ...... and the renovation company killed the price for two hours, and finally, after spending a full 27,000 dollars on the flesh, the store was simplified.
First of all, the original dilapidated "Lanroster Silversmith Shop" sign was removed and replaced with a new signboard, but unlike the large letters on the old signboard, the new sign was replaced with a long list of fist-sized letters, which are difficult to read without standing in front of the store.
This is not because the shopkeeper is stingy, not only forcing the decoration company to use the cheapest materials from the interior decoration, but also saving costs on his own signboard.
Instead, instead of the original simple name of the "Lanroster Silversmith Store", the store is now officially renamed "Lanroster Authentic Handmade Silver and Religious Objects Department Store (in addition to various types of exorcisms)".
There is also a row of fonts in the corner of the signboard that are so small that they are almost unreadable, if you look closely, you will see that it reads "Tong Suo is not bullied, fake one pays one, welcome to call the complaint hotline 12315".
But in other words, isn't it popular to pay at least ten fake ones now, when shopping online in the previous life, when I saw some merchants flaunting fake one to lose five, I would disdain to turn the page directly, and I didn't even have the courage to lose ten fake ones this year, so what kind of business do you have?
He even thought that if he was doing business by himself and had confidence in the source of goods, he would directly make a slogan of one fake and one hundred to prove that what he was selling was by no means fake, please rest assured to buy, so after thinking twice, he smiled disdainfully...... Marked with the slogan of fake one pays one.
Just kidding, although I have repeatedly stated when I buy the goods that I am doing honest business, and only accept thieves and not fakes, but who knows whether most of those "thieves" who are 60% lower than the market price are true or false, as for the 12315, hehe, you should be purely funny.
As for where the inspiration for the name came from, if you ask the owner, he will tell you that it comes from the Territorial Strategic Defense and Logistics Support Agency, or S.H.I.E.L.D. for short, and the owner of this store insists that the longer the name, the more awesome the buff permeates all parallel and non-parallel universes.
Maybe it's because the bargaining is too bad, or maybe it's because the owner himself is not good at that bite, after the completion of the simple decoration, the store does not have a modern Manhattan store, the general pursuit of modernity, the interior decoration and furnishings are still so, well, simple.
The light in the shop is not white, but a little dull yellow old-fashioned light bulb, and if you ask the owner why, he will tell you with disdain that it is a tribute to Edison, the great man of the century.
Although the owner Banker. Lanloster, who knows how to create all kinds of silver products by hand, but after deciding that he will no longer only sell monotonous silver jewelry and want more channel income, he has to grit his teeth again, take out 50,000 US dollars, and after counting more than ten times, carry out multi-type distribution.
Sure enough, after three months of renovation and distribution, the store has a new look, and compared with the original popularity, it is completely ...... Doesn't seem to be any different?
This led to the owner Banker, who spent nearly $80,000 in total and had high hopes for the future of the store. Lanloster was heartbroken, this was completely different from what he thought!
Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes is nothing more than this, this is completely inconsistent with Banker's earlier idea that the old god is here and Zhizhu is in his hands, he still wants to become a big boss and a rich man like Boss Li, but now he almost can't even support himself.
But life is always full of hardships and ups and downs, isn't it? Life is not satisfactory 9.9999 out of ten.
Let's take a look back at this store.
Unlike three years ago, the layout of this store is no longer monotonous, but the owner obviously does not know the reason for the excess, and the variety of items is dazzling and a little complicated.
The glass windows were filled with various types of totem poles and some large religious objects, such as huge candles, Buddha statues, and wooden relief crosses, as well as Catholic sacrificial robes, Taoist robes, etc., as if he was not worried about the gods and Buddhas fighting each other, and the shopkeeper stuffed all these religious articles that had nothing to do with each other.
Inside the store, voodoo dolls, scarecrows, and small lacquered statues of Lord Shiva are hanging at random, making it a little messy.
The counter has also been removed, and the broken lazy sofa, which was given to the homeless man under the bridge by Banker (in fact, he couldn't afford the labor cost and asked someone else to move it), has now been replaced with a more comfortable velvet...... The cheap lazy sofa printed on the sofa leather is facing the door without paying any attention to the impact.
Banker was lazily lying on the sofa, looking at the new playboy with relish, and making comments from time to time, behind Bank, three treasures of the town store were hanging on the wall, facing the street.
On the left is a large silver cross with a crucifix carved in relief, more than one meter long, and the top of the cross is also inlaid with three longan-sized gems of red, yellow and green.
On the right side of the wall hangs a scythe, the scythe is dark and slender, nearly two meters on the eye, bent in a graceful arc where the handle is close to the handle, and three barbs extend from the back of the handle, which has a black jewel-like luster in the light.
In the center, there is a medium-sized lacquered Buddha statue, about two feet high, with a protruding wooden platform below the statue, an incense burner for incense, and two false candles with batteries for three dollars on each side and two batteries for a total of five dollars (thanks to Bank's bargaining), but that's not the point.
The point is that the center of the wooden table is in the shape of a pyramid for a plate of apples, and a ...... is placed on top of the stacked apples An apple, to be precise, is an apple with a spiral pattern.
This is not something that Bank is bored to draw, if there is another traverser in this world, he will definitely widen his eyes and complain, Wu Cao, Devil Fruit! What genius actually uses the devil fruit as an offering fruit, aren't you afraid that the Buddha will come to you at night to talk about life?
In short, these three are the three holy weapons that Banker called the treasure of the town, as for the main role, well, let's just think it has no effect.
But it looks imposing, right? At least that's what Banker thinks, and customers can see it as soon as they walk through the door, at least with some eye-catching effect...... bar.
"Peggy, what time is it, we don't seem to open today, right?" Bank closed the Playboy magazine, picked up the half-nibbled Big Mac double-decker next to him, and asked.
"Yes, master, it's almost twelve o'clock, we haven't opened today, not only today, but even yesterday we only opened two orders."
A helpless voice came, and following the voice, a stunning and moving face came into view, Peggy was wearing a black tight dress and holding a feather duster in her hand, cleaning the store.
"But master, if you really don't take into account the advice of those scouts, if this continues, we will all be about to eat instant noodles, and we may consider discounting some of the bonds." Peggy said cautiously.
Who knew that as soon as Bank heard this, he was instantly annoyed, "Instant noodles? Hehe, instant noodles? I am the master of desire, the embodiment of darkness, blood and fire are my slaves, my rise is destined to bring fire and pain, and it will be the highest glory to serve me as Lord! You let me eat instant noodles? ”
After saying that, Bank came back to his senses, and complained in his heart, the bloodline of the ancestor of the Raush blood clan is easy to use, but from time to time he makes himself a god, and he is very middle-two.
When Peggy heard Bank's words, she turned her head helplessly and stared at the half of the Big Mac burger that Bank was holding in his hand, that's right, that is Bank's breakfast and lunch today, if breakfast and lunch are each counted as a bucket of instant noodles, then the price is actually about the same as a Big Mac burger......
