In the dry goods store, the men were busy working and the women were slowly reading

Working man and reading woman in store — Woman reading a magazine in a store

I passed a store that sold dried fish. Large bags of dried fish were lined up in the storefront, and every bag was full of dried fish. Some were long and thin, some were small. Dried fish is probably made from various kinds of fish, just as it is in Japan.

A man wearing a tank top and longyi stood beside the bag. He was shoving his hands into a large bag, taking out dried fish, and transferring them to another bag. Maybe he had a big order and was gathering the goods for shipment. Either way, the man looked busy working.

On the other hand, the woman sitting inside the store was relaxed. She was holding a thin book in both hands and reading it carefully. She seemed to be oblivious to the man's busyness. She continued reading without lifting her eyes from the book. In many countries, women are often more hardworking than men, but at least in this store, the situation seems to be a little different.
