Jin Er talked nonstop about all kinds of bizarre things that happened that night, such as 16 green lights in a row and four red lights at the same time at an intersection. Snowy used this time to collect enough fans' opinions, and then posted a new blog post.
"Live broadcast preview:
"Location: Amazing Fate Pet Shop.
"Specific time: To be determined. Everyone will be notified before the live broadcast.
"Theme: The magical parrot in the pet shop."
The Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped on the side of the road, and Jin Er reminded, "Snowy, it seems that we have arrived. Is this the second-hand shop that you want to go to?"
Snowy took back her gaze from the phone screen, looked out through the window, and happened to see the "Back to the Old Days" sign.
"Yes, this is the place. Thank you, Uncle Jin. "
Snowy put on her gloves and woolen hat again, got out of the car, and thanked Uncle Jin.
Good-for-Nothing barked at her, as if reminding her, "Don't forget me!"
She smiled and waved to Good-for-Nothing, "Good-for-Nothing, when you remove the bandage seal, I will bring Snowball to play with you."
Good-for-Nothing's body suddenly twitched. It seemed that the continuous defeats against Snowball had left a psychological shadow in its heart …
"Do you need me to wait for you for a while?"
Jin Er looked around. This was a slightly deserted alley. The alley itself was quite spacious, but there were few pedestrians. He was a little worried that Snowy would be in danger if he left her alone. He was the one who brought Snowy out, and if anything happened to her, Jin Er would be in big trouble. If it was another girl of the same age, he would not be worried, but Snowy had been pampered since childhood, and was protected by her parents. She did not understand the dangers of the society, and he was really worried that she would be deceived.
"No need." Snowy waved her hand, "Uncle Jin, take Good-for-Nothing to check and remove the bandage. I will be fine."
"Well, if there's anything, you can call me directly," Jin Er said.
"I know. Don't worry, Uncle Jin." Snowy smiled.
Jin Er said goodbye to her and told the driver to drive away.
Once they left, Little Snow raised her head and examined the antique two-story shop.
In front of the shop, there was a red lacquer door with brass nails. On both sides of the door were a pair of red lacquer pillars as thick as a water bucket. On top of the door was a blue plaque with gilded gold, with the words "Back to the Old Days" written on it. It looked quite proper, but the only flaw was that these things were too new. They had not been weathered by the wind and rain, nor did they have a sense of obsolescence. Obviously, this shop had opened not long ago.
The red lacquered door was wide open, and the interior of the shop was a little dim.
"Is anyone here?" Snowy knocked on the door and stepped over the high threshold.
The interior of the shop was unusually messy. From the floor to the walls, there were all kinds of strange things. It was a feast for her eyes, but at the same time, she felt a little strange.
A figure flashed in the depths of the shop, and a thin old man wearing an old-fashioned cotton robe walked out. He held a long feather duster in his hand and walked over leisurely. As he walked, he dusted off the debris around him, looking relaxed and carefree.
When he got closer, Snowy saw that the old man had a grizzled goatee, and his eyebrows and hair were half white. He looked to be about 70 years old, and he was quite energetic. He looked at Snowy with a smile and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Well, are you the shop owner?" Snowy asked.
The old man nodded slightly, "Yes, I am the shop owner. Is there anything you are looking for? The shop is not big, but there are some rare things. You can look around freely. If there is anything you need, just let me know. "
"Well … actually, I am a live streamer," Snowy said hesitantly. Every time she explained to older people, it was very troublesome. They did not understand what a live streamer was, and often confused her with a TV reporter.
The old man said, "Oh, I have heard of a live streamer. Is it the kind of live broadcast on the Internet?"
Snowy breathed a sigh of relief. This old man was quite fashionable. He actually knew what a live streamer was, which saved a lot of explaining.
"Yes, but I am a small live streamer." She playfully stuck out her tongue, "Can I do a live broadcast here? It is very good for attracting business. "
As soon as Snowy entered the door, she found that there were no customers in the shop, which meant that the business of the shop was quite bleak. Although it was also possible that it was an antique shop that did not open for three years, once it opened, it would eat for three years. However, after a few casual glances, she found that although the things in the shop were novel, they were not from a long time ago, and probably could not reach the huge profits of antiques.
The old man smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. But I opened a shop here for the sake of tranquility, and also to have a place to put my things. If I attract too many customers, I will lose my original intention. "
What? His answer made Snowy very surprised. There was actually a shop owner who thought that there were too many customers?
"Don't you want to sell things to make money? How can you make money without customers? "she asked in surprise.
The old man stroked his goatee, squinted his eyes and said indifferently, "Make money, everyone wants to make money. However, it is better for customers to follow their fate. When they pass by here, they suddenly have the idea to come in and have a look, and they happen to like something. Isn't that good? "
Snowy took a deep breath. If it was in the past, she would definitely not understand this matter, but since she went to the Teahouse in Hidden Fog with Zhang Zian, she knew that some people did not open a shop to make money, but to express their feelings, or simply to kill time. The old man in plain clothes in front of her was probably also a low-key nouveau riche, and she was afraid that he was even better than the female shopkeeper of the Teahouse in Hidden Fog!
The name "Back at Dusk" sounded more stylish than "Teahouse in Hidden Fog." The person who came up with the name must be a knowledgeable person. In addition, the Teahouse in Hidden Fog was located in a remote area, while Back at Dusk was located in a secluded alley in the city. It vaguely implied the artistic conception of "building a hut in the human territory, without the noise of carriages and horses".
She had some doubts in her heart. It was reasonable to say that such a real nouveau riche should be very rare. Why did she meet one after another? Was this the mutual attraction between the nouveau riches?
But on second thought, she understood. The shops opened by these real nouveau riches were often very unique. They did not hesitate to decorate, and the things they sold were more expensive than the best. It was a playful nature, and they did not care whether people came to buy it or not. Such a maverick shop, coupled with an outstanding owner, would often become famous. Enthusiastic netizens who heard the news would tell Snowy and ask her to come and explore on behalf of everyone. In this way, it would make sense.
She thought it through, but she was worried. She had planned to come to this shop to do a live broadcast today, but as the owner of the shop, the old man clearly refused to do a live broadcast here. However, many netizens were already waiting in the live broadcast room, looking forward to the start of the live broadcast. If she suddenly stood them up … Although they would understand, she could not bear to do it.
Snowy hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the Amazing Fate Pet Shop to do a live broadcast today.
"Sorry, I just came to do a live broadcast today. I don't have anything to buy … It's really a bother." She slightly bowed to the old man to express her apology and was about to leave.
She turned around and was so scared that she took half a step back.
In the corner of the door of the shop, there was a strange-looking cat squatting.
