The door of the convenience store was pushed open, and a crisp wind chime sounded.
A young man with dark skin and a thin build walked in. He had a round, shaved head and walked back and forth among the shelves several times, and finally moved slowly to the cashier.
His eyes looked back and forth several times at the items on the cashier table. There were some scattered small commodities, chewing gum, chocolate bars, lighters, etc.
Seeing the little girl at the cashier staring at him intently, he asked awkwardly, "How do you sell this?"
"You mean this?" Luo Wan pointed to the contents of a plastic cylinder. "Six yuan a piece."
His eyes suddenly widened: "6...6 yuan...one?!"
"This is the retail price, and it's also packaged." Luo Wan took out a golden carton from the shelf behind her and said, "If you want to give it to someone, it's best to buy it in a box and eat it yourself. If so, it shouldn’t matter.”
"How much does this box cost?" he asked cautiously.
Luo Wan was amused by his expression: "This box is 98, there are 15 pills in total."
His eyes started to move around again: "One pill costs 6 yuan, why is 15 pills 98?"
Luo Wan shrugged: "I didn't set the price, I just worked for others."
"So expensive..." He muttered two words.
"This is a soft-core chocolate candy imported from Switzerland. I heard it tastes very good. A lot of people buy it. Some customers take some back every time they come."
"Why are there so many colors? Does each color taste different?" He grabbed a handful in the plastic bucket and took out a handful of colorful candies.
Luo Wan shook her head: "I don't know. I have never eaten such expensive candy, but I think it is. Generally, candy wrappers of different colors are used to distinguish the taste."
He let go and the candies fell back into the plastic bucket.
Luo Wan showed a friendly smile: "Buy one and try it."
"No...no." He retracted his hand. "too expensive."
"You look familiar. Do you work in the bar opposite?"
"Hey, you...you know me?"
"I seem to have seen you a few times. Did I recognize the wrong person?"
"Well, I work in the back kitchen of a bar."
In 5 minutes, the date on the calendar will start to jump. The whole street has become silent. Occasionally, there are the roar of vehicles passing by and the shouts and curses of pedestrians playing and playing. There are actually birds singing in the mountain. A more secluded mood.
At this time, there was no one else in the convenience store, and it was rare for Luo Wan to be interested in chatting with the customers who came to buy things. What's more, the young man didn't seem to object to doing this. He probably hadn't said this to anyone for a long time. Too many words.
He looks very young.
Where are you from? He talked about a city somewhere in the southwest. How long have you been here? More than three months later, I got married in my hometown and it took another year. Oh, then you have to wait until next year for the Chinese New Year to go home, right? Yes, it costs a lot of money to go back and forth. Do you miss home? He chuckled twice but was too embarrassed to say it. However, some people call this place their home when they come here and try their best to stay. Don't you think so? I don't want to, and I...can't stay. I didn't see that you were quite sober.
And you? Where are you from? Luo Wan also mentioned a city somewhere in the southwest. Oops, I've been to your place before, so I can be considered half a fellow countryman! How long have you been here? I go to school here. Going to school... Well, going to school is good. Where do you go to school? Medical University. Wow! You want to be a doctor in the future! uncertain. Why? Because what I learned is not the ability to treat illnesses and save people. ah? So what did you study? What I learned is the ability to make money. Only by making money can I survive. Alas, you are right, you must make money first... It turns out that all you capable people 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 their life... Oh, Is that so? But no matter how many troubles rich people have, they can't have more troubles than poor people like us, so no matter how much they say, it's false. We still have to make money...
"What's your name?" Luo Wan asked.
"Lee Hae-sung."
"My name is Luo Wan."
It was another deserted and lonely night, with only the faint white light coming from the glass of the convenience store barely opening 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 walked 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. He even subconsciously shrank his neck and tried to hide away.
Probably because he realized that his behavior was too impolite, he paused, then forced out a smile and nodded to Luo Wan.
"Ding——" The wind chime at the door rang.
"Not off work yet?" Luo Wan sat on a high stool and swayed her legs. When she saw Li Haixing walking in, she asked casually.
"We're getting ready to leave. What time are you going to stay?"
"Someone will pick me up at 6 a.m."
"Then there are still 4 hours."
"Yes, I have to stay up for four hours just to earn two to three hundred yuan, and often the things I sell in one night are not even worth the salary my boss gives me!"
Li Haixing opened his mouth: "In this case, why do you still open the door at night? Isn't this a loss-making business?"
Luo Wan didn't care about this and chuckled: "I'm a working man, why should I worry about my boss? Maybe I just have too much money and have nowhere to spend it, so I want to spend money to make people happy and have fun. If it were you, Do you earn this money?"
Li Haixing was stunned, not understanding what she meant. "Have you watched the live broadcast?" Luo Wan asked, and Li Haixing nodded. How is it? Does it look good? Li Haixing nodded again, but for some reason a shy smile appeared on his face.
"Have you ever tipped those beautiful female anchors?"
"How can I have the spare money to do this?" Li Haixing said quickly: "I didn't watch those things originally, but a master who worked with me liked to watch them. I sometimes followed him to take a look, and he gave them to the people inside. After I paid him, the woman danced for him, and in a few minutes I was gone for a few hundred dollars. I asked him if this dance was only for you, and he said no, everyone can do it. I saw it. I said, isn’t it just like setting off fireworks? If one family sets it off, everyone can see it. You can just wait and see other people’s fireworks. Why spend this unjust money?”
Luo Wan sighed half-jokingly: "So, people who think like us will probably never be considered rich."
"What's wrong? Are rich people the ones who waste their money?" Li Haixing was unconvinced.
"Hey! No! You said the opposite. I mean only rich people are qualified to spend money. How about it? Do you want to watch cheap fireworks?" Luo Wan smiled slyly and opened a live broadcast on her mobile phone. software, found the list of real-time online anchors, and scrolled down several pages.
She found an anchor whose popularity was only in double digits. The content of this channel was late-night ghost stories, anecdotes and the like. The anchor's accent was a bit strange and his reading was jerky. He might be a newcomer who had just tried this industry. Live broadcast There were only a few people online at this time.
Luo Wan pointed to the reward list and said to Li Haixing: "Look, this person has rewarded 2 yuan and 80 cents, and he is already number one on the list. As long as your bid is higher than this, you have the final say in this live broadcast room." .”
Seeing Li Haixing's doubtful eyes, Luo Wan asked again: "Which song do you like?"
The sky is brighter, Li Haixing said.
Luo Wan made a payment of 2.88 yuan, and then wrote in the dialog box: "Anchor, stop reading the story and sing to me a song of "Broad Sea and Sky".
The voice on the other end of the screen paused for more than ten seconds, and then began to apologize to the few people in the live broadcast room. After a while, he found a musical accompaniment online and began to sing "Boundless Oceans and Sky".
After finishing the song, Luo Wan was the only one left in the live broadcast room, so Luo Wan made another 2.88 yuan call. .
"It's too ugly to sing, so I'd better stop singing. Turn on the camera and let me see what you look like." The other party was hesitant at first, unable to withstand the money offensive of "Big Brother on the List", but finally cooperated and turned on the camera. So for a young man with long bangs, I can only say that with the help of beauty filters, he looks pretty good.
In these lonely snowy nights, in order to fill the gaps in spirit and humanity, countless absurd and unruly things are happening, and they are thousands of times more absurd than what Luo Wan did just now. This number can be two thousand Eight, or twenty-eight thousand. As for the prices of 280,000 and 2.08 million, they are beyond the Three Realms and are no longer among the Five Elements. They are the same as something called an audit mechanism, which is indescribable.
