The sky was just getting light. Lu Yao lowered his head. Under his feet were neatly laid bluestone slabs to form a five-step staircase. Opposite him was a row of tiled houses with red columns and gray bricks and quaint styles. There were signs with the words "teahouse" and "bookstore".
The words on the signs were still not the simplified Chinese characters that Lu Yao was familiar with, but she could recognize them accurately and knew their meanings.
From afar, there were faint calls of hawkers, with long tones and occasional dog barking.
It was early morning, and it was late at night in the shopping street. The time on both sides was different.
Lu Yao stepped out of the threshold and closed the door casually.
The facade of the cinema in this world was also a tiled house with red columns and gray bricks, but there was no plaque yet, and the top of the door was bare and not very nice.
On the left side of the store is a Rongxi Bookstore, the door is closed and has not yet opened.
On the right side is a teahouse called "Chunxi House".
Chunxi House has three floors and is very imposing. It seems to have just opened its
doors to welcome guests, and the aroma of tea is wafting in the air. Lu Yao stood at the door for a while, and estimated that it was still early, so he continued to walk forward.
Pawnshops, gold and jade shops, cloth shops, rouge and powder shops, pen and ink shops, pharmacies... There are many shops, all of which are antique, but most of them are not open yet.
Walking further, it becomes lively.
Meat buns, noodle stalls, cake stalls, wonton stalls... The shouting is continuous, and there is an endless stream of early customers.
Occasionally, passers-by would see Lu Yao, stare at her, raise their arms, and cover their faces with their sleeves, looking frightened, and muttering in a low voice.
"Don't look at what's inappropriate! Don't look at what's inappropriate!"
"Oh, why did this woman go out with her hair disheveled!" Lu
Yao stopped in front of a small stall selling duck blood vermicelli and looked down at her body.
It was midsummer in the shopping street and Alexandria, and the temperature in the snack bar and Eden Sea was suitable. She had been wearing shorts or dresses when she went out recently, but people here, regardless of gender, wore long shirts and long skirts, and were very scared to see her.
Cultural shock!
Lu Yao hesitated for a moment. Should she go back and change clothes first?
But she was afraid that she couldn't find suitable clothes at home. There was a ready-made clothing store on the roadside, but she had no money.
Lu Yao thought for a while and calmed down again.
It's just a short-sleeved shirt. When the cinema opens in the future, it will open up a new world. It's better to get used to it in advance.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao prepared to continue shopping.
The lady who was selling duck blood vermicelli next to her hurriedly came over and pulled her, "Girl, come here quickly."
Aunt Zhu pulled Lu Yao to the back of the stall and covered her with the bib she usually used, "Why are you running out like this? Where are your family members?"
Lu Yao was a little stunned. It seemed that she couldn't continue shopping.
Aunt Zhu saw that the girl looked a little silly, so she pushed her to a corner and brought out a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup: "You sit here and eat first."
The duck blood vermicelli was topped with a few pieces of fresh duck blood, a little duck intestines, duck liver, and a handful of emerald green onions. The vermicelli was crystal clear, half lying in the steaming duck soup, and the fresh and fragrant smell went straight into her nose.
Lu Yao touched her stomach. Although she had eaten a lot of food at night, the smell was too fresh. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva and picked up the chopsticks. After
a mouthful of vermicelli, Lu Yao blinked her eyes, tasted a mouthful of duck blood, which was a bit fishy, but fresh and tender, and picked up the bowl to drink the soup.
She had experienced four different worlds and tasted too many strange delicacies.
This bowl of noodles has a simple taste, but it is just the right amount of fresh, especially in such a busy morning. It is really fresh and satisfying.
Lu Yao finished a bowl of noodles and looked up but didn't see the lady selling noodles.
The diners around him didn't dare to raise their eyes. Lu Yao felt around and took out a handful of pearls from his portable storage and put them on the table.
There were still a lot of ordinary pearls left after making the mooncake box from the ordinary pearls that the water drop seal gave her.
Although they have no special effects, they are of good quality, round and bright.
Aunt Zhu hurriedly came back with the patrol team. Not long after Lu Yao left, she anxiously asked the diners.
The girl was disheveled and looked silly. Liangjing is a bustling city with all kinds of people. Don't let her be fooled away.
Some people said that the girl left after eating and put a handful of beads on the table.
Zhang Cheng, the captain of the patrol team, picked up a pearl from the table and examined it carefully. "This is a mermaid pearl, and the quality is so good. Aunt Zhu, you must have seen it wrong. How could a girl who can afford such a mermaid pearl be a fool? Since there is nothing else, we will leave first."
Having said so, Zhang Cheng still asked Lu Yao in which direction she left, and took the team to take a look at Song'an Street. Lu
Yao ate and strolled back to his shop.
On the way, he met many teenagers carrying cloth bags and wearing cloth scarves. I heard that they were going to Song'an School at the end of the street to attend classes.
The eleven or twelve-year-old boy was also surprised when he saw the owner, and he didn't know how to react. When he saw her enter the shop that had been vacant for a long time, he stared at her for a long time.
Lu Yao returned to the store, sat down and started to modify the drawings.
Half an hour later, she handed the modified drawings to the system, "Decorate it like this, and change the name of the sign a little bit."
After scanning the drawings, the system hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Why do you want to decorate it like this? Doesn't it make it even more out of place with this street?"
The new drawings changed the original slightly plain decoration to a fashionable and avant-garde one, using faceted black tiles to cover the walls, changing the background color to black and gold, and installing transparent glass so that people from outside can see the entire layout of the store.
It was too different to be placed in the middle of a row of antique shops on Song'an Street.
Lu Yao: "What I want is something new!"
She only took a quick look at the nearby streets. The streets were clean and wide, with many shops, a market, and schools. This was a very prosperous city.
The shop began maintenance, and Lu Yao left the shop.
The new sign should be hung tomorrow.
Even though she already has four shops, she is still looking forward to the opening of a new shop.
I wonder what identity Xiao A will have when they meet this time.
She has a hunch that he will show up.
Silver hair and red eyes should be very conspicuous in this era.
Thinking of this, she looked forward to it even more.
It was still late at night in the shopping street. Lu Yao took out his mobile phone and sent a few messages.
They were all a little surprised: "Have you decided what to buy?"
Lu Yao's cinema was probably a private cinema, different from ordinary cinemas.
She didn't need to worry about the written documents and procedures. How to run the store depends entirely on the owner's plan.
The films broadcast in the cinema must be copyrighted, and it may be necessary to delete clips or re-dubbing.
She looked up the information and found that some old films or low-budget films could buy copyrights for hundreds of thousands to millions.
Before, she was unsure of the background of the store location, so she collected some topics of interest and screened out several options. At this time, she had already made a decision in her heart.
Lu Yao: "Let me ask about the price first."
The system is a little depressed: [... When did you start preparing? You didn't tell me anything. ]
Lu Yao: "I was too busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Besides, I have been hesitant. It costs too much to open a cinema. I don't have much money in my pocket. The investment risk is very high."
System: [Then why did you make up your mind in the end? ]
Lu Yao: "You are still here, right? Since you are the dream-fulfilling system, you hope that I can realize my wishes. If there are any problems, you will definitely help me, right?"
System: [... Of course. Within the scope of the task, everyone should do their best to help the store owner. ]
Lu Yao: "You are my confidence."
The system felt a little awkward for some reason, and a hint of joy rose in its heart.
The next morning, Zhou Su came to work and carefully parked her electric donkey next to the Cadillac, next to the store owner's electric donkey.
The parking lot is a bit small, and it is usually not available when customers come.
Those customers all drive luxury cars, and she only feels safe when she parks her electric donkey next to the store owner's electric donkey.
When Zhou Su approached, she saw Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin, uncle and nephew, standing and sitting, as if
they were looking at the furry shop. When Zhou Su first learned that Ji Zhixin couldn't walk, she was very surprised, because he was no different from a normal person in the store.
But at that time she had already joined the company, and it was too late for her to run away, and she was a little reluctant.
Once you accept some things, they gradually become no different from daily life.
"Good morning. What are you looking at?" Zhou Su walked over and greeted the two colleagues familiarly.
Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin didn't look at her, but looked up at the huge sign.
Zhou Su was shocked when she saw it: "'Lu Yao's Trans-Time and Space Cinema', is this a new store?"
It looks like they are planning to open a movie theater, but who would come to watch movies in this remote place?
Then she realized that the customers of the shopping street are rarely from this world, and the customers of the new store must come from other places.
So what kind of world is this time?
Zhou Su suddenly became very curious.
In fact, Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin were also curious.
Lu Yao came out of the nail salon, saw the three people, crossed the small road, and stopped behind them.
The sign has been hung up, and it is almost as she expected, grand and eye-catching.
Ji Zhixin turned around and saw Lu Yao, and couldn't help asking: "Owner, where are we this time?"
Lu Yao: "A world called the Dawu Dynasty."
Zhou Su was excited: "Ancient times? No wonder it is called the 'Super Time and Space' Cinema, it's so interesting. Owner, can we go into the cinema?"
Lu Yao: "It's still under renovation, probably in the afternoon."
Ji Zhixin couldn't help asking: "Owner, do we have any regular film sources?"
Lu Yao: "I'm going to buy them."
Ji Feiming lowered his head and glanced at Ji Zhixin when he heard that.
Ji Zhixin said, "If the owner has any projects he likes, please let me know. Maybe I can help."
Lu Yao was slightly surprised, "Do you know someone?"
Ji Feiming took over the conversation, "The Ji family does a little bit of everything. In the early years, they tried their hand at investing a lot of money in the film and television industry. Zhixin has been helping the family run their business in the past few years and knows a lot about this."
This was a complete surprise.
Lu Yao immediately wanted to push Ji Zhixin to the furry shop, "Come on, let's go to the shop and chat. Little Ji, please bring breakfast over."
Ji Feiming: "Okay."
Ji Zhixin: "..." Zhou
Su immediately followed him, her eyes shining. While eating breakfast, she listened to her colleagues talk about the past when they were scurrying around in the mall and being rich in a wealthy family. Not to mention how exciting it was.
At the same time, it was noon in the Dawu Dynasty.
After school at Song'an School, students were carrying cloth bags on their way home. When they passed Rongxi Book House, they saw many people gathered there, seemingly watching something lively.
