American man fried dough sticks

No. 78, Franklin Street, Manhattan, New York. This is a famous old store with a history of more than ten years.

It was originally a silverware store that was not doing very well. But three years ago, the owner of this store boldly negotiated the price with the decoration company for two hours. Finally, he spent a total of 27,000 US dollars. Later, the store was simply renovated.

First of all, the original dilapidated "Llanlost Silver Shop" sign was taken down and replaced with a new sign. However, unlike the huge letters on the old sign earlier, the new sign was replaced by a long series of letters as big as a fist. The letters are difficult to read unless you stand in front of the store.

This is not because the shop owner is stingy. Not only does he force the decoration company to use the cheapest materials for the decoration of the store, but he also saves costs on his own signboard.

But unlike the original simple store name of "Llanlost Silverware Shop", the store is now officially renamed as "Llanlost Authentic Handmade Silverware and Religious Objects Department Store, which also undertakes various exorcism services."

There is also a row of fonts in the corner of the sign that are so small that they are almost illegible. If you look closely, you will see the words "Children are innocent, fake ones will compensate you for one, please call the complaint hotline 12315".

But by the way, isn’t it popular nowadays to at least pay ten if you get a fake one? When I was shopping online in my previous life, when I saw some merchants advertising fake ones and get five for one, I would turn the page with disdain. These days, I don’t even have the courage to pay ten if I get a fake. No, what else is there to do business with?

He even thought that if he was doing business on his own and had confidence in the source of the goods, he would directly put up a slogan of "if you get a fake, you will lose a hundred" to prove that the goods he was selling were definitely not fakes. Please feel free to buy them. So after thinking twice, he said with a disdainful smile. The slogan "one for every fake" is compensated.

Just kidding, although I repeatedly stated when purchasing goods that I was doing an honest business and only accepted stolen goods and not fake goods, but who knew those "thief stolen goods" that were mostly 12315% lower than the market price? Is it true or not? As for that , haha, just think it is purely funny.

As for where the inspiration for the store name comes from, if you ask the store owner, he will tell you that it comes from the Strategic Defense and Logistics Agency, or S.H.I.E.L.D. for short. The store owner insists that the longer the name, the more awesome the buff is. All parallel and non-parallel universes.

Maybe it's because the price is too high, or maybe the owner himself doesn't like the taste at all. After the simple decoration, the store is not like a modern Manhattan store. The modern feeling that is generally pursued, the interior decoration and furnishings are still the same, well, simple.

The lights in the shop are not bright white, but old-fashioned light bulbs with some dark yellow. If you ask the shop owner why, he will tell you with contempt that it is a tribute to Edison, the great man of the century.

Although the owner of the store, Bank Lanlost, knew how to hand-make all kinds of silver products, after he decided not to just sell monotonous silver jewelry but to get more income from other channels, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and spend $50,000. After counting more than ten times, we carried out various types of distribution.

Sure enough, after three months of decoration and distribution, the store has a completely new look. Compared with the original lack of popularity, it seems to be no different.

This made store owner Bank Lanlost, who spent a total of nearly 80,000 US dollars and had high hopes for the future of this store, heartbroken. This was completely different from what he thought.

This is nothing more than a failure of the gods. This is completely inconsistent with Bank’s earlier idea that the old god is there and the pearl of wisdom is in his hands. He still wants to become a big boss behind the scenes like Boss Li, but now he almost doesn’t even have it. Can't survive.

But life is always full of hardships and ups and downs, right? Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory.

Let’s look back at this store.

Different from three years ago, the layout of this store is no longer monotonous, but the owner obviously doesn't know that too much is too little, and the various items are dazzling and seem a bit complicated.

The glass showcase is filled with various types of totems

There are pillars and some large religious objects, such as huge candles, Buddha statues, wooden relief crosses, Catholic sacrificial vestments, Taoist robes, etc. It seems that the shop owner is not worried about the sky full of gods and Buddhas fighting each other. Religious supplies that have nothing to do with religion are all stuffed in at once.

In the store, there are voodoo dolls, scarecrows, and small ceramic carved lacquer statues of the elephant-headed god Shiva hanging randomly, etc., which looks a bit messy.

The counter has also been removed, and the beanbag with holes in it has been given to the homeless man under the bridge by Bank. In fact, he couldn't afford the labor cost, so he asked others to move it away. Now it has been replaced with a more comfortable one. A cheap lazy sofa with velvet printed on the leather. The sofa faced the door without paying any attention to the impact.

Bank was lying lazily on the sofa, watching the new issue of Playboy with relish, and making comments from time to time. Behind Bank, three store treasures hung on the wall, facing the street.

On the left is a huge silver cross more than one meter long with a embossed crucifix on it. There are also three red, yellow and green dragon-eye-sized gems on the top of the cross. If an expert looks at it, they will definitely be surprised, because this But it's real and it's an antique.

There is a sickle hanging at an angle on the right side of the wall. The sickle is dark in color and slender in shape. It is close to two meters by visual inspection. The handle is bent into a graceful arc near the handle. Three barbs extend from the back of the handle. Under the light, there is a sickle. A black gem-like luster.

In the middle, there is a medium-sized clay Buddha statue, about two feet high. There is a protruding wooden platform below the Buddha statue, equipped with an incense burner. There are three US dollars per stick on the left and right, and the two sticks total five US dollars. Bank's bargaining credit There are fake candles with batteries, but that’s not the point.

The key point is that there is a plate of apples in the center of the wooden table in the shape of a pyramid. There is an apple on the top of the piled apples. To be precise, it is an apple with a spiral pattern.

This was not drawn by Bank out of boredom. If there were other time travelers in this world, they would definitely have their eyes widened and complain, "Oh my god, Devil Fruit! What kind of genius did it actually use Devil Fruit as a gift?" Guo, aren't you afraid that Buddha will come to talk to you about life at night?

In short, these three items are the three holy weapons that Bank calls the treasures of the store. As for the main functions, well, let's just assume that they have no effect.

But it looks very impressive, right? At least that's what Bank thinks. Customers can see it as soon as they enter the door, so it's at least somewhat eye-catching.

"Peggy, what time is it? We haven't opened yet today, right?" Bank asked as he closed the Playboy magazine, picked up the half-eaten Big Mac bunker next to it.

"Yes, Master, it's almost twelve o'clock, and we haven't opened yet today. Not only today, but we only opened two orders yesterday."

A helpless voice came, and following the voice, a stunning face came into view. Paige was wearing a black tight dress, holding a feather duster in her hand, and was cleaning the store.

"But Master, if you really don't consider the suggestions of those scouts, if this continues, we will almost eat instant noodles, we may consider discounting part of the bonds." Peggy said cautiously.

Who knew that when Bank heard this, he was instantly angry, "Instant noodles, hehe, instant noodles, I am the master of desire, the incarnation of darkness, blood and flames are my slaves, my rise is destined to bring flames and pain, please serve me." It will be a supreme honor for me, Lord, and you let me eat instant noodles.”

After saying that, Bank came back to his senses and complained in his heart that the bloodline of the ancestor of the Laoshizi blood clan seems to be easy to use at the moment, but from time to time he makes himself become a god, and he is two out of ten.

When Peggy heard what Bank said, she turned around helplessly and stared at the half Big Mac burger in Bank's hand. Yes, that was Bank's breakfast and lunch today. If breakfast and lunch were separate, Counting a bucket of instant noodles, the price is actually about the same as a Big Mac burger.
