Chapter 105 The 1980s: The Male and Female Protagonists' Deaths (31)
A foreign trade import store opened across the street.
They specialize in selling novelty items imported from abroad.
Xiao Wang rushed into the store excitedly. Jin Shu was sitting at the cashier doing accounts. The ledger in her hand was getting thicker and thicker. The abacus in Jin Shu's hand was making a "clattering" sound. Her slender fingers moved quickly, so fast that Xiao Wang could not see her fingers.
"Why are you still using an abacus? I already bought you a calculator."
"I'm not used to this one, this one is much more comfortable to use."
Jin Shu was an innkeeper for a while. At first, she just wanted to cope with the long lifespan. Unexpectedly, the birds and beasts on the nearby mountain absorbed the spiritual power emanating from Jin Shu and all of them cultivated into spirits. The name of the immortal mountain spread from there, and the inn at the foot of the mountain became more and more popular.
Because of her aloof nature, Jin Shu only runs the inn. When business is good, the ledgers can be stacked up to a person's height. In order to handle these ledgers, Jin Shu learned to use an abacus.
So much time has passed, I never thought I would be able to pick up this craft again.
"Oh, don't even think about it. We can just hire an accountant when the business gets bigger. Besides, I can do all that. Come with me to see the shop across the street. It's huge and impressive. They even have a piano inside!"
This city is indeed a large city, and its development is at the forefront of the country. Xiao Wang believes that he has gained a lot of knowledge since coming here, and he will never feel embarrassed when he goes out.
But when she looked at the foreign trade mall across the street, she felt like a country bumpkin in the city. Everything inside was so new and exciting, and many of them were things she had never heard of before.
"There are a lot of people watching the excitement outside. Hurry up, or we won't be able to squeeze in."
Jin Shu slowly and methodically finished calculating the accounts at hand.
"If you want to see it, go ahead and do it. Why are you dragging me along?"
"No, I wouldn't dare to do it alone. You're richer and more confident than me, and you're from the city, so you must have a broader perspective than me."
Xiao Wang dragged Jin Shu over, and sure enough, almost all the shops on the street were gathered outside, and there were already quite a few people inside. Everyone was full of curiosity about this suddenly opened shopping mall.
"This is privately owned, right? Who's the owner? It's a five-story building!"
"Who knows? Anyone who can open such a big shopping mall must be a big boss."
With Jin Shu by his side, Xiao Wang instantly felt more confident and casually walked in, pretending to be relaxed, despite the smiling faces of the two greeters at the door.
Wow! It's so soft here!
A huge red carpet was laid out at the entrance; it was so soft that my legs felt weak under my feet.
Before you is a two-story high hall with an artificial fountain in the center, where water flows gently from all directions, accompanied by melodious and soothing music.
Xiao Wang was dazzled and overwhelmed.
"Look, there's a piano here, it looks so expensive."
There was a price tag next to it, and Xiao Wang curiously went over to take a look.
The next second, she rubbed her eyes and looked again.
"Is this labeled incorrectly? How much is it?"
Xiao Wang lowered his head and began to count.
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... six hundred thousand?!!"
Six hundred thousand?!
This thing costs 600,000?!
This is an astronomical figure that Xiao Wang could never have imagined.
Six hundred thousand could buy all the shops on this street.
"Who would buy something so expensive?"
There are more rich people than you think, and they are richer than you think.
