After waiting for a while, the dishes ordered by Xu Nanxing were all served. The portion of each dish was quite large, and they were all packed for her in plastic bags.
Seeing Xu Nanxing ordered so many things, the people around him couldn't help but look sideways.
After Xu Nanxing calmly paid the bill, he left the tea restaurant carrying all the things.
After finding a secluded corner and putting all his things into the space, Xu Nanxing walked towards a crowded and bustling place.
Hong Kong is indeed an international metropolis!
Now is still the era of the "Four Asian Tigers", and you can imagine how prosperous Hong Kong is!
This commercial center is full of tall buildings and many foreign tourists travel here.
There were also many cars parked on the roadside.
Xu Nanxing activated the map of Hong Kong and could find her location very accurately, but she couldn't figure out the bus routes here.
There was no other choice, so Xu Nanxing ran to the newsstand and bought a map of Hong Kong.
Sure enough, all the bus stops in Hong Kong are listed below the map.
With this map, she can take the bus conveniently.
Of course, it would be more convenient if she could get a driver's license and drive herself.
Never mind, that’s something to consider later.
After putting away the map, Xu Nanxing went to the department store in the commercial center.
There was also a doorman at the entrance of the department store who was dressed like a British guard. The most important thing was that the black bearskin hat on his head was very tall!
Xu Nanxing felt a pain in his neck just watching this.
Turning his head to look at the gate, the old revolving glass door, Xu Nanxing had encountered this kind of door for a long time.
She found this kind of door very inconvenient.
The first time she walked through this kind of door, she almost got turned out.
It almost made a fool of itself.
Xu Nanxing followed the customer in front of him and went through the revolving door.
Fortunately, no jokes were made this time.
The first floor of this department store is very empty!
But there are so many foreigners!
The few counters also sell jewelry, watches, and clothing from well-known foreign brands.
When Xu Nanxing saw several watch counters, his eyes lit up!
When I got closer, I saw that they were indeed some foreign luxury watch brands, including Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Piaget, Cartier, Rolex, etc.!
Not to mention other brands, Patek Philippe and Rolex are very collectible!
But looking at the price, any watch costs several thousand or even tens of thousands.
Sure enough, even in the 1970s, luxury goods were still luxury goods, which ordinary people could not afford!
However, if you buy it now, its value will increase to tens or even millions in the future!
Unfortunately, Xu Nanxing only had a pitiful 500 yuan in his pocket.
Where can I afford it?
Think about the snack stalls in ordinary street markets, where the items sold are only a few cents, while a dish in a tea restaurant in a busy area costs several dollars.
As expected, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge in any era?
With these few hundred dollars in his pocket, Xu Nanxing thought he could live a comfortable life for a long time?
But when she wanted to buy a watch, she was slapped in the face!
Sure enough, making money is the kingly way!
Perhaps it was because Xu Nanxing had been staring at it for too long, and the person who saw through it didn't look like someone who could afford it, so the lady at the counter muttered disdainfully, "Another one who only looks and doesn't buy! If you can't afford it, don't look, or you'll keep thinking about it!"
Xu Nanxing looked at the salesgirl speechlessly. Why are all the salesgirls in this luxury store so bad-mannered?
Xu Nanxing was not going to suffer such a loss and immediately retorted, "You talk as if you can afford it!"
The lady at the counter choked. How could she, a working woman, spend money on such an expensive watch? In Hong Kong, she could buy a very good watch for one or two hundred dollars. She would never spend such money.
If she can't even afford it, then this little girl in front of her can't afford it either, right?
The lady at the counter didn't dare to scold the customer here, no matter whether the other party could afford it or not. Insulting the customer would affect the image of their brand. If that happened, the manager would think it was her fault and would deduct her salary in the end.
It’s not worth deducting wages for such a person!
The lady at the counter glared at Xu Nanxing fiercely, turned her head and ignored her.
Xu Nanxing looked around and was sure that he couldn't afford it at the moment, so he went straight upstairs.
After a walk around, I found that there were not many people shopping, most of them were socialites and the like!
They were all dressed very luxuriously, which made Xu Nanxing, who was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, look very out of place.
Xu Nanxing didn't care about these people's opinions. Before entering the department store, she put a pinhole camera on her clothes, mainly to record the situation in the department store, especially the prices of the goods sold there!
The things here are very expensive, and most of the items sold are worth thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.
Xu Nanxing had previously checked online and found that the wage level in Hong Kong in the 1970s had reached HK$2,500.
Of course, this is the income that only comes from having a stable job.
Many of those at the bottom of society who cannot find jobs can only apply for government relief to survive.
The protection for the lower classes in Hong Kong is quite good.
Xu Nanxing walked around and saw that most of the brands in the department store were foreign brands, and there were very few local brands.
She had seen enough and couldn't afford to buy anything anyway, so she planned to go back. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she almost bumped into the person behind her.
