Qu Lixin was very lucky; of all the others, he was the only one who discovered the black market.
Meanwhile, Ni Hongying's live stream, which featured her as a saleswoman at a state-owned store, also garnered significant attention.
"Girl, some brown sugar, please."
"Auntie, we're out of brown sugar."
The old woman looked a little disappointed, but didn't dare to get closer to the counter. "Young lady, please take another look. My daughter-in-law just gave birth, and I finally managed to borrow the tickets."
Ni Hongying was about to search again when the saleswoman at the same counter next to her leaned against the counter without moving an inch. "I said I don't have it, and I can't conjure it up no matter how much I search."
Ni Hongying looked at the old woman's figure, somewhat moved, "Sister Wang, let me go find her."
Sister Wang rolled her eyes. "You're so kind." But she didn't stop Ni Hongying from searching.
The old woman's eyes filled with tears as she repeatedly thanked Ni Hongying, saying, "Thank you, young lady, you are a good person."
Sister Wang ate the "flawed" candy, looked at the old lady, and said, "Hmph, I'm not a good person."
The old woman was at a loss, but she thanked Sister Wang as well.
Even though she knew that Sister Wang and the old lady were NPCs, Ni Hongying still felt her fists harden.
[Tsk tsk, what's wrong with this sales clerk?! She's bullying an old lady!! What kind of attitude is that?! I'm reporting her!!]
Look at the banner behind the sales clerk: "No hitting or verbally abusing customers!" Who is this banner for?! If reporting it would be effective, why bother putting up this kind of banner?!
I'm starting to understand why being a sales clerk was a good job back then. Everyone had a good work ethic, and if something displeased you, you could just yell at it. Unlike now, where service industry workers are treated like servants, and customers are still dissatisfied.
[I've been here all morning. This Sister Wang is really skilled. You didn't see how Ni Hongying didn't even know how to use the old-fashioned lever scale when she first came, but Sister Wang can just grab the weight the customer wants with minimal error. Weighing it is just a quick glance.]
[Oh, I see Ni Hongying was all flustered this morning, and I thought Sister Wang was just sitting there slacking off. Turns out she's so fast and accurate!]
[No, everyone, shouldn't you be looking at Sister Wang's bad attitude?]
[But we're definitely out of brown sugar. Ni Hongying even checked the warehouse, and there wasn't any. Sister Wang only said that because she knows the inventory. Besides, didn't you notice that everyone who came this morning was asking about brown sugar?]
[Back then, brown sugar was indeed scarce. Thinking about that, I made myself a cup of brown sugar water (image.JPG). I didn't really want to drink it; I just looked at it, and it smelled so good.]
