Inside the Shuixian Temple Market, there were also several grocery stores selling vegetables. At one of them, vegetables that had never been seen before in Japan were on display, giving the market a typical Taiwanese atmosphere. The day's busy season seemed to have passed, and there were no customers in the storefront, and the time was quiet.
The woman at the grocery store seemed busy even in such quietness. She was not in the store, but sitting at the edge of a jumbled desk, writing something down in a single-minded manner. Scales, plastic bottles, and other objects were scattered about the desk, indicating chaos. Perhaps he was writing a slip summarizing the day's sales, or doing some sort of paperwork.
As the market slowly quieted down, her appearance seemed to offer a glimpse into the daily routine behind the business. It was a sight that made us feel that even though the time for interacting with customers was over, the day of the people who run the stores was not yet over.
