60: Daily Shop 2

"Magnifying what?"

Just then, another voice interjected.

Xu Bai and Aunt Wang both looked up simultaneously, realizing it was Aunt Su, the owner of the restaurant next door, walking over.

"Aunt Su, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be preparing dishes right now? Or is your family taking the day off today?"

"Oh dear, I came to buy a knife. My husband was chopping bones in the kitchen just now, and the blade flew off."

"It flew off!" Aunt Wang and Xu Bai were both very surprised.

"Aunt Su, did it flying off injure anyone?" Xu Bai asked.

"That's terrible! Was anyone hurt? Where's your husband? He hasn't been sent to the hospital already, has he?"

Aunt Wang asked anxiously; she was the office director of this street, and someone getting injured was a big deal.

Hearing their urgent questions, Su Zisu knew they were overthinking and explained, "It's fine, it's fine, no one was injured. The knife flew off and hit a large winter melon piled in the back, it didn't bounce back. You see, I'm here, unhurriedly buying a new knife. If something serious had happened, I'd be looking for a doctor, not buying a knife."

"It's good that no one was hurt. How long have you had that knife? Why did it fly off? What brand is it?"

Knowing that no one was hurt, Aunt Wang relaxed, then started gossiping, also worrying if her own knives would have problems.

"Now that you ask, I just remembered, this knife has been used for eleven or twelve years. You see, we run a restaurant and use it frequently, so it's actually quite durable."

"Indeed, that's not bad."

"Alright, enough about my business. I just heard you two talking about something that could magnify?"

At this moment, Xu Bai was finally able to interject:

"Aunt Su, it's a Magnifying Glass, it can show things magnified."

"Oh, I know, it's the champion from last year's competition, right?"

Aunt Wang patted Su Zisu's shoulder. "What champion? It won first prize."

"Yes, yes, first prize." Su Zisu nodded, "How much does this cost? My husband and I are having trouble reading the newspaper now; we wanted to buy one back then, but couldn't find it anywhere."

"Yes, I want to buy one too. Our eyes are a bit blurry, and we can't see the newspaper clearly anymore; the characters are too small."

"Aunt Su, a one-star cards is 240 yuan each, and a two-star cards is 500 yuan each." Xu Bai immediately inserted himself into their conversation, preventing them from getting too chatty in front of his shop, "Auntie, would you like to try one?"

"Alright, for the Magnifying Glass, I'll take one two-star and one one-star cards directly." Hearing Xu Bai's words, Su Zisu immediately decided to buy two.

For the sake of reading the newspaper, Su Zisu was quite determined; money was for her to spend, and she was quite generous with herself.

The reason she bought two was that the two-star cards was for herself, and the one-star cards was for her husband.

Aunt Wang, hearing Su Zisu buy so decisively, didn't want to be left behind and also said, "Little Xu, give me one two-star and two one-star cardss as well."

After speaking, she hesitated a bit, then clapped her hands and changed her mind. "Never mind, Little Xu, just give me three two-star cardss. The two-star ones must be better; if I'm going to use them, I might as well use good ones."

"Alright, here you go. Don't worry, if you have any problems, you can come find me."

"Okay, Little Xu, Auntie (or Aunt) will come find you if there are any problems."
