Jiang Yan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw a trace of light coming from the small door. He looked around at the surrounding shops and then looked at the sign on the door. There was no problem with the street sign - this should be the candy shop Dong Bo mentioned.
That's right.
An old man opened a shop, why didn't he close it so late? Jiang Yan was confused and walked towards the candy shop.
Anyway, his main purpose of coming here all the way is to see where he works, so that he can walk faster in the future. He had already made plans to recognize the house number and leave, but he didn't expect that the door was open now - just right.
Come in and say hello.
However, we are old people after all, so we should not lose our etiquette. Jiang Yan thought this way, straightened his clothes and knocked on the door:
"Mr., are you still in business?"
"...The door is unlocked." An old and dull voice came from inside the door. Jiang Yan gently pushed the door open. Even though he was very careful not to make any noise, the old wooden store door was still in disrepair.
A heart-wrenching sound that only appears in horror movies.
Jiang Yan looked inside the door. The warm light from a dim old-fashioned desk lamp was the only light source in the house. It was placed on a conspicuous long counter. Behind the counter was an old-style but seemingly extremely comfortable chair.
There was a stooped and old figure, with his back turned to him, and his face could not be distinguished.
Are you asleep? Why aren't you moving? Jiang Yan lowered his voice and apologized: "——It's really disturbing. I heard that people are hiring here to do part-time jobs, so I planned to go here first to get acquainted with the way. I saw the light here.
Dengcai..."
"It doesn't matter." The shadow on the chair moved a little, and made a groan unique to the elderly. He looked at the desk lamp, and then looked to his side - only when he looked did Jiang Yan realize that there was another side of the store.
There was a huge display window. The old man murmured softly: "Is it so late..." while slowly getting up.
He turned around to face Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan was startled by this sight. Then with the faint light, he could clearly recognize the old man's appearance. He blurted out:
"Master Splinter?"
The old man raised his eyebrows, "I don't have that name, and I can't be called a master... What's wrong?"
Jiang Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "Uh, no, it's just... you are a bit similar to someone I know."
If you are an ordinary person without any psychological preparation, or a person who has never come into contact with real orcs, seeing the old man's face may scare you to a heart attack. Thanks to Officer Doug who works in City A, he entered the city twice.
The palace and some internship cooperation allowed Jiang Yan to gradually get used to the kobolds, and thus gradually got used to the Terran race with many orc-like appearances.
For example, people from the Lupo tribe may look like wolf-eared girls with wolf ears and wolf tails; they may also be Fury-shaped, with thick hair on their bodies, like werewolves standing up like beasts. Different appearance characteristics may even
It appears among relatives of the same generation, such as brothers; it is also possible that the father and son of a family have completely different appearance characteristics.
In one sentence: This old man is a mouse.
The white hair that was combed very smoothly and the long and thick beard extended from his chin to his chest. It may be due to the hunchback caused by old age. After the old man stood up, he still held a very impressive and carved with both hands.
The dragon-headed crutch. The black coat he was wearing had a blue lining and a long green scarf. Jiang Yan noticed that there was a white velvet coat hanging on the back of the chair, which looked like some kind of animal skin.
It's a luxury item, probably worn when the weather is cold.
He is such a grand and personable old man. He is a mouse: with a long face and a sharp mouth.
Almost as soon as he saw him, Jiang Yan remembered his childhood memories, the famous IP "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on Earth. The old man's face was almost exactly the same as Master Splinter, the master of the four Teenage Turtles. In addition,
The old man's attire and quiet self-confidence made him look like someone who had stepped out of a movie.
He was even a little worried that a Raphael or Leonardo da Vinci would suddenly pop up from behind the counter, but there was no need to worry like this. Jiang Yan quickly realized his rudeness and said quickly:
"I'm sorry to disturb you so late. My name is Jiang Yan. I heard that someone is hiring people here to do part-time jobs. I want to come and apply - Uncle Dong recommended me to come here."
"Someone recommended you to come here? Let me see..." The old man slowly took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen. He was stunned: "...the little girl quietly pressed mute for me again. There are several missed calls.
"The old man put away his mobile phone, cleared his throat, and said:
"I already understand the situation - the surname Jiang means Jiang, river, lake and sea, and the name is only a single character, right?"
Feeling the old man's blade-like gaze sweeping across his body, Jiang Yan couldn't help but straighten up: "Yes, the word "偊" refers to a person who controls floods by himself and Dayu next to him."
"...What a good name." The old man looked away and said, "I'm sorry, I have an old problem with my eyes. I can't see people clearly if I don't use some effort. If you feel uncomfortable, I hope you can be more considerate.
.”
"My surname is Lin, and I'm an old acquaintance with the Uncle Dong you mentioned. Since he recommended you to come work, I will accept you. It's getting late now. Please help me close the store and close it."
Just go back. You can come whenever you want, and your salary will be paid at any time."
After saying that, Mr. Lin moved to the chair with his crutches and turned on the lights in the store. Only then did Jiang Shao realize that this candy store was completely unique:
There was a dazzling array of products, stacked on shelves after shelves, including candies of various price points from various regions. Jiang Yan even saw the Victoria fruit candies that Jessica usually shared with everyone, which he could never afford to buy himself. Leaning on
The candies displayed in the window are also colorful. I am afraid that children will lie on the window and be unable to walk after just one look.
It seemed that the old man knew this well. Jiang Yan took a look at the environment and asked the old man: "Mr. Lin, what should I do?"
"Let me see... just replenish the goods and then sweep the floor. There are spare goods at the top of each shelf. Fill up the contents of each box to above the scale line drawn with a knife."
Jiang Yan got the order and started to work. He picked up the cargo boxes from the shelf - to be honest, there were not many kinds of these boxes. It seemed that Mr. Lin really had some inconvenience in his hands and feet and his strength was weak -
Mine... Jiang Yan was driving while replenishing goods. The originally easy picking and placing work changed because of a sudden heavy box: he almost failed to pick up the box!
Jiang Yan quickly stepped on his feet and slowly took down the cargo box. He was relieved that nothing happened. What could pack such a heavy box? He curiously looked inside the box, but did not notice that Mr. Lin changed slightly.
