Chapter 346 Raincoat, Umbrella, and Other Goods
Chapter 346 Raincoat, Umbrella, and a Department Store
Su Ming walked in the rain. The streets of the small town were filled with rain and inexplicably became much more spacious.
Before, it took less than a minute to cross the street, but this time, I walked for ten minutes straight and still couldn’t see the end.
The falling rain began to become turbid, and then changed from being almost transparent and colorless to a light red like diluted blood.
When the rain falls on your body, you feel sticky, warm, and have a smell of rust, which makes you feel uncomfortable from the bottom of your heart.
At this time, a green figure appeared in front of him. The other party noticed him and moved towards him.
He was a young man wearing a green raincoat and holding a green umbrella.
There was enthusiasm in his voice: "Brother, did you go out without an umbrella?"
"Where are you going? How about I give you a ride?"
Su Ming walked under the green umbrella very naturally: "Thank you, brother. I was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring an umbrella."
The young man in the green raincoat: "Don't be polite, it's my duty. When we go out, we should help each other! Where are you going? I'll take you there!"
Su Ming: "I want to go to a department store. It would be great if you could take me there."
"Hey! That's a coincidence!" The young man in the green raincoat said with deep joy, "It just so happens that I am a clerk in a department store and I am working over there. We are on the way, so I can just take you there."
Su Ming: "Thank you, you are such a kind person."
Young man in green raincoat: "You're welcome~ That's what I was going to do anyway. It's just on the way."
"Besides, when you shop in our store, you are also helping our business! The boss often tells me that customers are God, and we must be enthusiastic enough to treat God..."
"Brother, you don't look like a local! Are you from outside, here to travel? Or are you here to visit relatives?"
"I said, you are not from here. If you were, you would definitely bring an umbrella with you when you go out."
"After all, the weather here is terrible. It might rain at any time. If your clothes get soaked, it will be troublesome."
"What kind of trouble is that? I have to change clothes and take a shower. If I'm unlucky and catch a cold, I have to buy medicine. Tell me, is this troublesome or not..."
The young man in the green raincoat told Su Ming that his name was Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei was in high spirits and couldn't keep quiet, talking to Su Ming frantically. The information of his own name was included in a bunch of words with very little information and were completely useless.
……
There is a department store. Although it has the word "department store" in its name, it is not a big store. It is just an ordinary small shop. However, it can be regarded as the largest small shop in the town.
As soon as they walked in, they saw the man sitting at the cashier desk suddenly stand up from the desk and said in a bad tone: "Damn it! Xiaofei, you are finally here!"
"Do you know that you were half an hour late? If you had arrived half an hour earlier, I would have returned home instead of being trapped in this damn place in the heavy rain!"
Xiao Fei's face showed some apology: "I'm sorry, I overslept and the alarm on my phone didn't go off. It's all my fault."
"Why don't you stay here for a while and leave when the rain stops."
The man's name is Da Zhuang, and he is Xiao Fei's colleague. They are both workers, working shifts in this department store.
There is a department store that is not very big, but it is open 24 hours a day.
Xiaofei, Dazhuang and the boss work in three shifts to keep the shop busy around the clock.
This was the boss's request. He had a strong obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard. He was very worried that if there was no one in the middle, the gods who would have consumed money would not consume it here. This was something he could not tolerate.
Da Zhuang: "You don't need them anyway, so just lend me your raincoat and umbrella."
Xiao Fei didn't hesitate and nodded directly: "No problem."
"But when you leave, can you give him a ride?" "He is a customer who wants to buy something in the store. I brought him here just now."
Da Zhuang showed deep impatience on his face, scratching his head desperately: "Xiao Fei, are you mentally ill?"
"Even if you help him attract more customers, old Grandet won't give you extra money."
"Less trouble is worse than more trouble. Why do you have to cause trouble for yourself?"
As a worker who just wants to get by and get paid, Dazhuang really can't stand Xiaofei, who is a self-driven ox.
This will make him look like a jerk.
Su Ming said, "That's not necessary. I can just buy a raincoat and an umbrella."
"Didn't Xiaofei just say that this is a necessity? It just so happens that I don't have it yet."
Xiao Fei showed a surprised smile on his face: "Ah! That's great! Thank you!"
Da Zhuang scratched his hair desperately, looking like he couldn't stand him: "Again! You do it again! That's the tone, it's so disgusting!!"
"I can't stand it anymore! I must resign as soon as possible and get out of this damn place! I'm the only normal person here! If I stay any longer, I'll be infected by you guys!!"
After venting his anger, Dazhuang put on Xiaofei's raincoat, opened his umbrella, and left the small department store without looking back.
Disappeared in the increasingly heavy rain outside.
Xiao Fei said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Da Zhuang is just like that, his words are not very nice, but he is still a very nice person."
"Whether it's something the boss has assigned him or something a customer has asked him to do, he can always complete it, but he doesn't like to take the initiative to do extra things."
Su Ming nodded: "It's understandable. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. We must learn to evaluate a person from multiple perspectives."
Xiao Fei clapped his hands vigorously: "Oh! You are so right! That's what I thought, but I don't know how to express it."
"As expected of someone who comes from outside, you really have a wide range of knowledge. You must have read a lot of books!"
Su Ming: "Thank you for the compliment. Actually, I'm not a person who likes reading very much."
While chatting, we walked around the store and soon came to the shelf selling umbrellas.
On the shelf, there was only one set of raincoats and one set of umbrellas left, both bright red in color, and looked like a set.
Xiao Fei said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I only have one set of raincoat and umbrella left."
"Recently, there are more people coming to town from outside, so the inventory is sold out faster. We are contacting suppliers for supply."
"Look, is this set okay?"
According to the barber's instructions, on rainy days, one should stay away from people wearing red raincoats.
This means that the person wearing the red raincoat is some kind of dangerous person.
The only raincoat here is red.
The character Xiaofei did not remind anyone of this taboo.
This is normal, because the taboos in the small town only need to be reminded once, and there is no need to tell every plot character you meet.
If other players came here, they would definitely be conflicted, after all, a wrong choice could mean extreme danger.
Su Ming, however, already knew everything, and said, "Then let's take this one. I want both the raincoat and the umbrella."
