Chapter 445 50
OK.
Lin Su'e separated from the crowd and went to the bookstore alone.
Chinatown is not small, with streets running in all directions. She followed the route and walked for about 10 minutes before a bookstore with both Chinese and Korean fonts came into view.
"A voyage through the sea of books? What a good name."
Lin Su'e exclaimed in admiration and walked in slowly.
The bookstore looks plain from the outside, but inside it is decorated in typical Chinese style, full of elegance.
The owner is an old man with gray hair.
At this moment, he was sitting behind the checkout counter, holding a book in his hand and reading it seriously with a pair of reading glasses. When he heard the noise, he subconsciously raised his head, paused, and said in Chinese: "Just read it."
A group of Chinese people came to Chinatown, and the news spread to everyone during their lunch time.
In this era, there is basically no travel abroad.
Those who immigrated after the Cultural Revolution basically chose Country M and Country R.
Lin Su'e asked with a smile: "Boss, which bookshelf do you put the books related to fashion design, art, and film and television performance?"
The boss pointed in a direction.
Lin Su'e looked over and saw someone in the corner of the store. She nodded, "Okay, boss."
Walk over.
The bookshelf is made of pure wood, exuding a wood fragrance, which adds a bit of charm to the books.
The bookshelf is filled with books, and the dazzling array of books is overwhelming at first glance.
Take a closer look: "Eyes for Famous Paintings Series", "History of Beauty", "History of Ugliness", "Miss Julie", "Wild Duck", "The Maid", "Hypocrite"...
All are in English.
The owner translated the title of the book into Chinese and Korean.
This book is particularly friendly to Lin Su'e, and you can roughly guess what type it is from the title.
She had no interest in the books and immediately started moving.
"How many books should we take? 25 per person, let's take 50 in total!"
Just do it.
In 20 minutes, she picked out 50 books.
They were all placed on the ground, stacked high. It was impossible to move all of them. Ten books were a bit heavy, so she took five books at a time and started moving them to the checkout counter.
Once, twice...
The boss was shocked and couldn't help asking, "You want to buy so much?"
Lin Su'e smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's right."
The boss didn't say anything more and went over to help move the books.
The two of them worked together and finished the move quickly.
Lin Su'e: "Boss, please help me calculate the price."
The boss took out an abacus. Lin Su'e raised her eyebrows and said, "Boss, you actually have this."
The boss was proud: "When I fled, I didn't have time to take a lot of things with me, but this abacus was the first thing I thought of."
Escape?
Lin Su'e heard some of the story, but she didn't ask any further questions.
China was constantly at war at that time, and everyone who left home had a painful past. There was no need to open up other people's scars.
So she gave a thumbs up and said, "The boss is awesome."
The boss chuckled and started calculating.
“Crackle…”
The sound of the abacus was crisp, like playing music. Lin Su'e, who was waiting on the side, did not feel annoyed at all, but instead found it very interesting.
She doesn't know how to use an abacus.
The children all know how to do it. There is a special abacus class in primary schools now.
She remembered that this course would be cancelled in a few years.
Let’s get back to the topic.
The boss stopped calculating and looked at Lin Su'e: "The total is 200,000 won."
Lin Su'e had already exchanged Korean won, so she paid the money without bargaining.
The boss took the money and asked, "How are you going to take so many books away? Do you want me to help you deliver them?"
Lin Su'e shook her head: "No need."
"Boss, I just saw a cart in your store. Can you lend it to me? I'll put it on the cart now."
The boss readily agreed: "Sure, no problem."
