Chapter 389 Life Should Not Be Based on Obsessive Tradition

Since finding Doro's message in a bottle, Pina has traveled a long way to the capital to meet the Doro people. She always makes a profit every month while working at Donas's boxing gym.

Meals and accommodation provided, monthly salary of 3000 yuan, and no personal income tax required.

You can't spend it all!

There's more than you can spend!

By setting up a gold investment plan through a payment app, Pina has now accumulated tens of thousands of dollars in savings, making her wealthier than most adults.

With money and confidence, Pina showed her payment code faster than she asked about the price.

Even the oblivious Donas could tell that Pina genuinely liked that incense burner!

However, what happened next startled Pina.

The shop assistants all managed a professional smile.

She first gave a brief introduction to the product.

Then came the unexpected price tag for the doro fans.

"This is a bronze incense burner in the style of Chenghua red enamel scrolling pattern. If you like it, the price after discount is only 1288 yuan."

"A ten-piece aromatherapy tool set will be included as a bonus."

"In addition, we are also including five types of our insect-repelling agarwood powder."

The female shop assistant was about 25 years old, with a pleasant voice and a pretty face.

Judging from the appearance alone, the saleswoman seemed nice. However, the price she quoted for the incense burner was simply unacceptable to me!

Pina hurriedly turned off her phone screen, her mouth agape, her ears pressed back, too surprised to speak for a long time.

Doro stood beside Huang Musong.

The little paws are holding people's hands.

She was also shocked by the price of the incense burner as explained by the shop assistant.

With his chin drooping into an exaggerated V-shape, Dorothy looked up at Huang Musong, then at Su Qingyao, and finally turned his gaze to Dorothy.

Dorothy gently poked Dorothy's lower back, then leaned close to her ear, widening her eyes and asking in a dazed voice, "What exactly is a copper stove? It's so expensive! Over a thousand dollars, that's enough to buy a dozen baskets of fresh Oolong!"

Using oranges as the unit of measurement,

Based on the prices in the capital city, it is roughly 3 yuan for one large orange.

The incense burner, priced at 1288 yuan, could be converted into at least ten baskets of large oranges, enough for Doraemon, Dorothy, and Donas to eat for the entire winter!

Doraemon felt that

Even if some items are very expensive

It can't possibly cost more than ten baskets of O-Runji, right?

Dorothy is knowledgeable and well-read; she learned about the concept of "antiques" while reading novels.

Recalling the story from the novel, Dorothy adjusted her glasses and explained to Doraemon meticulously, "A bronze censer is an incense burner made of bronze. Its purpose is to burn incense to produce fragrance, and different fragrances have different effects. Aromatherapy is said to be calming, and high-quality aromatherapy can even nourish the meridians of cultivators..."

Dorothy's explanation of the first two sentences is quite apt: an incense burner is used to burn incense to release fragrance.

In the last few sentences, perhaps having read fantasy novels, Dorothy applied the function of the incense burner from online novels to the incense burner in the real world.

Aromatherapy can indeed calm the nerves, but claiming it nourishes the meridians is absurd.

Doro are simple-minded by nature.

Just like Dorothy would believe in the effects of incense in online novels,

Donas also believed Dorothy's words.

"What?"

Can smelling incense from a burner nourish the meridians?

"Buy! Buy! Buy!"

"Pina, ask someone to give me my salary from last month, we'll split the cost of incense... Ouch~." Donas hadn't finished speaking when her throat suddenly tightened, and she couldn't speak for a moment. Alvin grabbed the back of her neck, and her whole body was suspended in the air. She was flicked a few times on the head with a crisp and loud sound.

With skillful control of her tone, Alvin curled the corners of her lips into a playful smile: "How many days did you work at the boxing gym last month? Let me count for you, the total hours weren't even in the hundreds, so where did the salary come from?"

First flick his forehead,

Then gently scrape the bridge of your nose with your finger.

Alwen immediately pinched Donas's lips to stop her from arguing.

Unable to speak, with her feet dangling in the air and unable to resist, Donas could only sway her body and swing her arms back and forth.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

Reiterating her insistence on buying the incense burner, Donas stared wide-eyed down at Pina, conveying through her gaze not to change her mind.

Don't worry!

He must be rich!

All you need to do is pick up the incense burner and run far away!

Donas kept winking and sticking its tail against Pina's back, pushing her toward the shop assistant.

With Donas's support, Pina's desire to buy was rekindled. She turned and took a few steps towards Huang Musong. "Boss Huang, can we discuss something?"

"I would like to receive my salary for this month in advance."

"Because most of my money is invested in mutual funds, I don't have enough money available to buy an incense burner right now. This is a problem!"

With a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, Pina bowed to Huang Musong to express her gratitude after finishing her speech.

She is hardworking, more independent than the doro, and loves life.

Pina would never use a coquettish manner to ask Huang Musong or Su Qingyao for an incense burner.

It is reasonable to withdraw wages in advance.

Upon learning that Pina wanted to withdraw her salary in advance, Huang Musong immediately took out his phone to transfer the money to the rather eccentric young woman's WeChat account.

Seeing that Boss Huang had indeed agreed to give Pina an advance on her salary.

Shu Chu, who had been silent all along, quickly mustered up her courage and poked his arm.

He dared not meet Huang Musong's gaze.

Shu Chu looked down at Pina.

She lowered her voice and advised in a low voice, "Why don't you wait a couple of days to buy it? The same incense burner is at least 70% cheaper online; I also know a copper products processing factory in the northern suburbs of the capital that sells incense burners for about 300 yuan."

The recent copper price is 10 yuan/ton.

The price is 100 yuan per kilogram.

A small incense burner weighs about three pounds and costs 150 yuan.

There's still almost 50% room for negotiation on a price of 300 yuan!

Dorothy counted on her little hands, silently doing mental calculations, and after arriving at the answer, she frowned and stared at the shop assistant.

"Hmph~"

"Bad guy!"

"She's trying to swindle our money?"

Dorothy used in-game voice chat to remind Pina, but instead of directly advising her to give up on buying the incense burner, she only listed the calculation process.

If you buy incense burners from the factory that Sister Shuchu mentioned, you can get at least five for 1288 yuan.

It's just a matter of waiting a few more days.

There's no need to waste money.

After understanding the price range of the bronze incense burner, Pina frowned and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she very sensibly smiled and waved to Huang Musong. "Never mind! When I have time, Boss Huang and Sister Shu Chu will take me to the processing factory. I want to buy a bigger and prettier incense burner to take home!"

As he spoke,

Pina took the initiative to extend her paw and hold hands with Doraemon.

It and Doraemon continued their sightseeing deeper into Yandai Xiejie.

Unable to buy the incense burner, Donas sighed regretfully, jumped out of Alvin's arms, and caught up with Pina.

Donas: "You should stick to your decision!"

Pina: "But it's not necessary! This is a tourist area, things are so expensive. Saving money..."

Donas: "What's the benefit of saving money?!"

Pina: "Of course."

Donas: "I, the Marshal, don't think it's beneficial! Our visas in the real world are valid for 20,000 days. Would you willingly spend three days doing something unpleasant? If you ask me, let's just rob them, pay three hundred dollars, grab the incense burner, and run!"

Before she could finish three serious sentences, Donas chuckled mischievously, her big eyes darting around.

Dorothy quickened her pace and caught up with her friends.

Hearing that Donas was trying to steal something

Dorothy quickly warned, "No! This entire area is the core of the capital. If you dare to steal anything, you'll definitely get arrested."

"Huh? Silly girl~. I was just kidding, why did you take it seriously?" Donas made a face and teased Dorothy, her eyes sparkling with mischievous light.

Dorothy blushed bright red after being tricked by Donas, and turned her head away, refusing to talk to her for the time being.

Listening to two friends arguing

Doro walked silently beside Pina.

The most understanding Doraemon knew perfectly well that Pina must be upset, after all, she had failed to buy the item she wanted.

pity!

Doraemon couldn't think of a way to comfort Pina.

Because it also approves of saving money by buying incense burners from a processing plant.

Doro could only remain silent for now, hoping that Pina would gradually forget the little incident of her failed shopping trip and rekindle her enjoyment of visiting the scenic spot...

Soon,

The doro walked through Yandai Xiejie.

Su Qingyao, Shu Chu, and Alwen were still following behind.

Huang Musong was the only one who was nowhere to be found.

"what?"

"Where did they go?"

Duo Luo, who was the first to notice Huang Musong's disappearance, looked at Sister Xiao Su.

Su Qingyao smiled faintly and told a white lie: "He said he wanted to go to the bathroom and caught up with me very quickly."

Not realizing that Sister Su was lying, Duoluo nodded and stopped to wait patiently.

at the same time

Located in the shop where Pina had previously stayed.

"Ding!"

"Received 1288 yuan via WeChat."

After paying for the copper stove, Huang Musong took advantage of the shop assistant packing it up and went to the door to peek outside at the four little ones.

The main focus is on observing Pina.

Huang Musong plans to surprise Pina!

The copper censer, priced at 1288 yuan, is indeed overpriced.

But so what?

The book was finished, and the Five Gods Festival had ended. —Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk

Buying a copper stove from a processing factory may save money, but it won't have the same appeal as buying one at a tourist attraction.

Life shouldn't be lived according to outdated methods.

Having received the packaged bronze furnace, Huang Musong, hands behind his back, whistled as he caught up with the Doro members. (End of Chapter)
