Chapter XII
The door of the convenience store was pushed open, and a crisp wind chime sounded.
Walking in, a young man with a slightly dark-skinned and thin body, with a round head with a shaved size, shuttled back and forth through the shelves a few times, and finally slowly moved to the front of the cash register.
His eyes went back and forth several times at the cash register, where there were bits and pieces, chewing gum, chocolate bars, lighters, and so on.
Seeing that the little girl at the cashier was staring at him intently, he asked a little crampedly, "How can this be sold?" ”
"You say this?" Luo Wan pointed to something in a plastic cylinder. "6 yuan a piece."
His eyes widened suddenly: "6...... 6 bucks...... One?! ”
"It's the price of the sale, and it's packaged." Luo Wan took out a golden-yellow carton from the shelf behind her and said, "If you want to give it away, it's best to buy a box, and it shouldn't matter if you eat it yourself." ”
"How much does this box cost?" He asked cautiously.
Luo Wan was amused by his expression: "This box of 98 has a total of 15 grains in it. ”
His eyes began to roll again: "A grain costs 6 yuan, why do 15 grains cost 98?" ”
Luo Wan shrugged: "I didn't set the price, I just helped people work." ”
"It's so expensive......" he muttered two words.
"This is a soft chocolate candy imported from Switzerland, I heard that it tastes very good, and there are a lot of people who buy it, and some customers will bring some back every time they come."
"How can there be so many colors? Does each color taste different? He grabbed a handful of plastic buckets and pulled out a handful of colorful candy.
Luo Wan shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't eaten such expensive sugar, but I think it should be, ordinary candies will use different colors of candy paper to distinguish the taste." ”
He let go of his hand, and the candy fell back into the plastic bucket.
Luo Wan showed a friendly smile: "Buy one and try it." ”
"No...... No. He withdrew his hand. It's too expensive. ”
"You look familiar, don't you work in the bar across the street?"
"Eh, you...... Do you know me? ”
"I think I've seen you a few times, I didn't recognize the wrong person, right?"
"Well, I work in the back kitchen of a bar."
In 5 minutes, the date on the calendar will start to jump, and the whole street will be silent, and occasionally there will be a few roars of vehicles passing by and pedestrians playing and scolding.
At this time, there was no one else in the convenience store, and Luo Wan was rarely interested in chatting with the customers who came to buy things, not to mention, seeing that the young man didn't seem to be averse to doing this, probably he hadn't said so much to anyone for a long time.
He looked very young.
Where are you from? He said a city somewhere in the southwest. How long has it been here? More than three months, I got married in my hometown and came here after another year. Oh, so you won't be able to go home until next year's New Year, right? Yes, it costs a lot of money to make a round trip. You're homesick, right? He laughed twice, embarrassed to speak. However, some people come here and make it their home, and do everything possible to stay, don't you want to? I don't want to, and I ...... Can't stay. I didn't see that you were quite sober.
What about you? Where are you from? Luo Wan also said a city somewhere in the southwest. Heck, I've been to you guys, and I'm half a fellow! How long have you been here? I go to school here. School...... Well, it's good to go to school, where do you go to school? Medical University. Wow! You're going to be a doctor in the future! Not necessarily. Why? Because I didn't learn the art of healing and saving people. Yes? So what did you study? I learned the art of making money, and I can only survive if I make money. Alas, you're right, you have to make money first...... It turns out that all of you who have the skills are thinking about how to survive...... The more capable people are, the more they think about how to make money, their life is to make money, and making money is life...... Oh, I see, but no matter how many rich people have more troubles, they can't have more than we poor people, so no matter how much it is, it's all false, and we still have to make money......
"What's your name?" Luo Wan asked.
"Li Haixing."
"My name is Luo Wan."
It was another cold and lonely night, and only the faint white light from the glass of the convenience store barely tore a hole in it. Luo Wan sat alone at the small dining table in front of the window, staring at the empty street outside in a daze, until a familiar figure stepped out from the opposite side.
She gave him a kind smile. Li Haixing also saw her, but he was not as natural as Luo Wan, so he subconsciously shrunk his neck and wanted to dodge.
Probably because he realized that his behavior was too impolite, he paused, then squeezed out a smile and nodded to Luo Wan.
"Ding-" The wind chimes at the door rang.
"Haven't left work yet?" Luo Wan sat on the high stool and dangled her legs, and when she saw Li Haixing walking in, she asked casually.
"I'm about to leave, what about you, what time are you going up?"
"Someone will come and pick up my shift at 6 a.m."
"That's four hours away."
"Yes, I have to stay up for 4 hours, just to earn two or three hundred yuan, and many times the things sold in one night are not worth the salary paid to me by the boss!"
Li Haixing opened his mouth: "In that case, why do you still open the door at night?" Isn't this a loss-making deal? ”
Luo Wan didn't care about this, and chuckled: "I'm a worker, what do I worry about for the boss?" Maybe it's because you have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it, and you want to spend money to have fun with others. If it were you, would you earn this money? ”
Li Haixing was stunned, not understanding what she meant. "Have you ever watched the live stream?" Luo Wan asked, and Li Haixing nodded. How's that, is it good-looking? Li Haixing nodded again, but for some reason a shy smile appeared on his face.
"Have you ever given a tip to those beautiful female anchors?"
"I don't have the money to do this!" Li Haixing hurriedly said: "I didn't look at those originally, a master who worked with me loved to watch them, and I sometimes followed him to look at it twice, and he also gave money to the people there, and then the woman danced for him, and it was gone for a few hundred yuan in a few minutes." I asked him if this dance was just for you to see, and he said no, everyone could see it. I said, isn't that just like setting off fireworks, everyone can see it when a family sets it off, you just wait to see other people's homes, why spend this unjust money? ”
Luo Wan sighed half-jokingly: "So, people who think like us may never be rich." ”
"What's wrong? Are rich people the ones who spend their money in vain? Li Haixing was not convinced.
"Hey! No! You say the opposite, I mean that only rich people are qualified to spend unjustly money. What do you think? Do you want to see cheap fireworks? Luo Wan smiled slyly, opened a live broadcast software on her phone, found a list of real-time online anchors, and scrolled down several pages.
She found an anchor with only double digits of popularity, the broadcast content of this channel is late-night ghost stories, anecdotes, etc., the anchor's accent is a little strange, and the reading is also very jerky, it may be a newcomer who has just tried to do this business, and there are only a few people online in the live broadcast room at this time.
Luo Wan pointed to the reward list and said to Li Haixing: "Look, this person has rewarded 2 yuan 8 cents and 8 cents, and he is already the first on the list, as long as your bid is higher than this, you have the final say in this live broadcast room." ”
Looking at Li Haixing's suspicious eyes, Luo Wan asked again, "Which song do you like?" ”
The sea and the sky are wide, Li Haixing said.
Luo Wan typed a 2.88 yuan over, and then wrote in the dialog box: "Anchor, stop reading the story, sing me a song about the sea and the sky." ”
The voice on the other side of the screen stopped for more than ten seconds, and then began to apologize to the few people in the live broadcast room, and after a while, he found a musical accompaniment on the Internet and began to sing about the sea and the sky.
After singing a song, Luo Wan was the only one left in the live broadcast room, and Luo Wan played another 2.88 yuan.
"It's too ugly to sing, so don't sing it. You turn on the camera and let me see what you look like. The other side was a little hesitant at first, unable to stand the money offensive of the "big brother on the list", and finally cooperated with the opening of the camera, so a young man with long bangs, what he looks like, can only be said to be able to see it with the blessing of the beauty filter.
In these lonely nights like snow, in order to fill the loopholes of spirit and human nature, there are countless absurd and unruly things happening, and they are thousands of times more absurd than the absurdity that Luo Wan just did, this number can be two thousand eight, or twenty thousand eight. As for the prices of 280,000 and 2.08 million, they are beyond the Three Realms, and they are no longer in the Five Elements, just like a thing called the audit mechanism, which cannot be described.
