    0100 A small sensation in the shopping mall (1)

    Hua Xuan looked at the crowds of people below with a melancholy look on her face. Her legs rubbed slightly, and the flesh of her flower grotto kept moving. This was not because she was too hungry, but because of Li Yibai’s teasing a few days ago. Since she woke up, she always felt that there was still some grape flesh in her flower grotto that could not be cleaned.

    She is very afraid of death and a very germaphobe. She is afraid that the grape flesh will ferment in her flower grotto, which will produce parasites, and then her entire vagina will rot, and then she… She spread her legs and went to the doctor, and the doctors were all men. They all looked at her with strange eyes, woo woo…

    Hua Xuan’s whole body trembled, and she shifted her attention in fear, staring at the lively crowd below the window.It had to be said that she had not expected that the streets would be empty today. At first, she thought that since the department store was in the suburbs, the aristocrats and people living in the city would not go out of their way so hard. Moreover, today was the last day of spring break, and the wealthy people working outside should also set off. They would spend so much time to visit this wilderness.

    But Hua Xuan was wrong in her estimation. It is precisely because the department store is in the suburbs. Anyone who comes to Beijing will see her towering buildings, not to mention the opening of new stores and the beating of gongs and drums. The nature of the ancients is to join in the fun, so they still want to delay their trip to find out.What’s more, Lan Mingzi is the “good lord” appointed by the emperor. Those dignitaries who want to win over Lan Mingzi will naturally put some effort into cheering him up. They bring their families with them in the hope that the good lord will like their daughter, so that they can get close to the richest man in the capital.

    In fact, the shape of the department store is very simple. It does not have the weird and complicated structures of modern times. It is just a “C” shape, with shops on both sides and a large open-air stage in the middle. Because of the limited technology in ancient times, she also had limited funds, so she could only build two floors, with only twenty shops in total.

    In order to show their support for Hua Xuan, the three men all bought shops in the department store. The most generous of them was Li Yibai, who bought ten shops. According to him, he was in the catering business and had to leave space for customers.

    The other two men didn’t show any signs of weakness and bought two bunks each. Li Yiwen was okay. He opened a small bookstore. He could sell calligraphy and paintings on the first floor and books on the second floor. But she didn’t understand Li Yiwu selling two bunks. He sold contradictions, swords and weapons. One bunk was already too much, so why would two bunks be so wasteful.

    However, thanks to their help, a lot of Hua Xuan’s burden was relieved. Since the department store is located in the suburbs and the floods in the south have just passed, most people are not willing to take risks to invest, so all the shops in this department store are opened with her own funds.

    The first floor is a small restaurant street. Because many southerners were unwilling to go back after the flood, she signed an agreement with them. She provided funds and they provided technology, and then jointly opened a pawn shop. The money earned was divided 50-50. Hua Xuan was also worried that some people with evil intentions would cause trouble, sheA counter was opened directly in various locations in the mall. The counter sold tickets. Customers only needed to hold the tickets representing money to buy items in the department store. The owners of those shops could take the tickets to the counter every day and exchange them for money. Such transactions left a lot of disputes and troubles.

    Because most of the food streets are snacks made by southerners, people who come to the department store are excited to try them, which makes the ticket exchange staff at the counter busy.

    The second floor is full of household items. Because Hua Xuan planned to start a business for the poor in the suburbs from the beginning, she opened a cheap and high-quality cloth shop here. Most of the cloths there were leftover after Luye Pavilion made clothes for the dignitaries. Although it was only a small piece, it was enough to open the eyes of the poor.

    In addition to cloth stores, there are also some shops that buy daily necessities and southern specialties. Hua Xuan feels that those victims have such good craftsmanship. If they don’t use them to make some money, it will really be a waste of her business mind.

    As for the stage in the middle of the department store, Hua Xuan ordered someone to build a large stage in order to stir up the atmosphere. She invited the girls from Hua Pavilion who are good at performing to perform on the stage, and there were a lot of tables and chairs under the stage, so that people could enjoy the performance and retain customers at the same time. It was really the best of both worlds.

    Hua Xuan looked at the noisy voices in the audience, and her eyes reflected all the money. She had invested all her working capital for the department store. Now the shops she invested in were empty shells, beautiful on the surface, but fragile in reality. Only by making money here could she think about other things!

    Without money in her hands, Hua Xuan felt empty in her heart. If all her shops closed down, wouldn’t she have to live on the streets?
