Lin Xi's mouth instantly fell open. "A Christmas tree for 0.5 yuan?!"
She felt as if her understanding of the world had just been shattered.
"Xue Yang, you're not joking with me, are you? How could there possibly be a Christmas tree this cheap?"
The only time she'd ever seen a 0.5-yuan note was in a display case at home; it was supposedly from the Republican era.
"Yep, 0.5 yuan!"
Lin Xi took the bag and looked it over. The packaging was indeed labeled 'Christmas Tree,' but…
"Can it really grow into a Christmas tree?"
How could this be real?
"When we get back, I'll perform a magic trick for you."
"Okay, okay!" Lin Xi couldn't wait to see what kind of Christmas tree could grow from such a tiny packet.
"Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Lin Xi pointed to the items in the snack shop and said uncertainly, "Don't tell me everything in here is 0.5 yuan."
"Most of it is. Hmm, nothing is more than five yuan."
"Oh…"
