Nanyang Department Store, the core area of Jinjikou. The entire building is a department store described by Lan Fong, a sovereign colonial company headquartered in Pontianak City, Borneo, which is a highly meritorious company. This department store in a prime location is also a showcase for Lanfang's exploits.

As soon as you enter the door, the air conditioner with full power will reduce the temperature to the most suitable 24°C. The air-conditioning curtain at the door hung down from the doorway, and it made my back a little cold.

"Oh~~" Shang Luo seemed to have something interesting inside: the first floor of the department store was as dazzling as a temple. It's just that shrines tend to be molded in a sacred golden yellow, while department stores are molded in a warm yellow.

The warm yellow color comes from the sun. There was no thought of shading here, and the glass dome above was shining in strong sunlight. Straight into the center of the hall on the first floor. It was a flower house where coconut palms, palm trees and other South Sea plants grew in the sweltering heat. The flower room was spotless, and even through the framed glass, you could see the green leaves swaying in the artificial wind.

The entire atrium is open, and the glass room is the same height as the whole building. Layers of Nanyang plants create viewing platforms on each floor, allowing each floor to see the greenery. The contracted stores of various franchise departments are stratified according to categories, and the floors are connected by escalators. It's not the first department store, but it's the first.

Although in the "original era" of Shangluo, the era of belonging to department stores has passed. But at the beginning of the beginning, the department store was one of the atomic flashpoints of an entire consumer era.

Like other department stores, Nanyang Department Store has participated in the great transformation of commodity consumption. For the first time, department stores are bringing together high-quality goods. Dolls dressed in fashionable clothes in glass vitrines and warm glow create a realistic wonderland. And the items that can be purchased are placed on the shelves, so that everyone can touch and touch them with their hands, and imagine what it feels like to own it.

The first floor sells the most ornate furs and folding fans, and the second floor is a silk counter and a place for custom-made clothes. The third floor sells sparkling jewellery and watches, the fourth floor is ready-to-wear, the fifth floor is perfume and other daily necessities, and the sixth floor is the food and beverage department.

The whole system is complemented by professional and beautiful sales girls, dressed in fashionable narrow clothes and small curly hats, to provide professional advice to passing customers. This service is still the signature of various department stores, and there are several genres - Shangluo, which I saw from the newspapers. The Nanyang Department Store represents a relatively new style.

It is common to see in newspapers that sales girls are holding a thick catalog to introduce products to customers and recommend them to customers with their professional knowledge. But here, the goods are all on the shelves as much as possible, where everyone can touch them. There is no "counter" here, where the sales lady and the customer communicate directly face-to-face.

This is actually more in line with Shang Luo's habits. Because the business model he is familiar with is a supermarket, online shopping and specialty store system, not such a department store system. Outside of the specialty store, he sometimes just wants to wander around and doesn't want to receive too professional advice.

"It's the winter that's the hardest part here." Qi Yuan looked inside, "I wasn't born at that time, but my dad remembered that Nanyang Department Store opened in winter. At that time, he was a child, it was snowing heavily, but the heating inside was 24°C, and there were green South Sea plants in the greenhouse in the atrium. Well, there was an Araucaria tree that went straight to the sixth floor in the middle, but it was removed because it was not very safe and replaced with vines and metal cages. ”

"Oh~~" Shang Luo looked up, and the layers of golden escalators and glass corridors stretched up like the kingdom of heaven depicted in the church. It's really dangerous to be that tall.

"Lan Fang Pavilion is on the top floor, right? Escalator or lift? ”

"Let's lift it, we don't have to buy anything else. Walk this way on the elevator. Qi Yuan led the way in front - she spent more time in the department store than several others, and Shang Luo felt that it was indeed the right time to invite her.

Several people sat on the elevator to view the view, and the scenery of the glass flower room passed in front of them layer by layer. When the door of the elevator opens, there is the sign of Lan Fang Pavilion directly opposite.

He showed the meal voucher at the front desk, and the waiter at the front desk took them directly to the window booth and brought the menu.

The waiter flipped the menu from back to front to the last page of the menu.

"You can specify the main course, two main dishes, four side dishes, as well as drinks and snacks in these catalogs. Soft drinks can be refilled for an unlimited time. For more information about the dishes, please refer to the previous table of contents. ”

"Hmm." Shang Luo nodded, this was the way he was familiar with ordering.

However, as soon as he looked at the main course, he had a sense of déjà vu:

Steamed tall crab

Purse shark fin

Eight treasure yellow croaker

Steamed abalone in the East China Sea

This is a classic high-end dish of Nanci: a collection of luxurious ingredients that can be caught in the sea. There is no such complex name and complicated method as the nine-turn large intestine or the fried double crispy, it is a simple and pure ingredient impact. Although it does not occupy people, it can be eaten all over the world with this "geographical advantage".

"Huh?" Lu Liang on the opposite side raised his head first, "Is it so advanced?!" How is it similar to the menu on the Hercules? It seems to be more luxurious. ”

Qi Yuan was already stunned: "What have you been doing this month?" Why did you suddenly become rich? No, I didn't know how rich you were, you couldn't have been rich in the first place. ”

"Ah, it's a big brother. I'm going to eat this, this, and this. Han Xingzhi had already started ordering directly.

The dishes were ordered, the menu was taken away, and several people had a feeling that it was not quite real. Is it possible to eat something so expensive without money? Shang Luo himself also felt strange, when he got the meal ticket, Zhu Xianene was indeed just fluttering, and he didn't think it was so powerful.

Suddenly, the jade card in his hand vibrated for a moment, and it was a call from Zhu Xianen.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Shang Luo, why didn't you take the meal coupon away? Your meal voucher is still at the head of the bed, and I just found out when I was cleaning up the bed. ”

"Huh? But I'm already eating. ”

"Did you pay for it yourself?"

"No, I have a stack of meal vouchers in my bag. Oh, it doesn't seem to be the same as what you gave me earlier. ”

"What do you eat?"

"It says a special selection of the number of days. Senior brother, what are you giving? ”

"Good fellows! All I'll give you is an all-you-can-eat set, just keep you full. That's just employee welfare, where is this kind of package, that thing is at least a few dollars per capita, and I would have eaten it myself a long time ago if it was so good. ”

There's another chapter for a moment
