Chapter 163 Shopping and buying gifts
There were five or six transparent containers arranged in different categories in the lobby on the first floor, which contained various snacks, cigarettes, alcohol, skin care products, home appliances, musical instruments, etc.
The second floor is a special area for school supplies, toys, clothing, and watches and jewelry.
When Lin Yunxi was living in the staff quarters, there was not much to spend money on, but this time she could finally let go and do some shopping.
After entering the supply and marketing cooperative building, she went straight to the watch and jewelry area on the second floor and bought four watches and three simple gold bracelets with a wave of her hand.
The four watches were bought for Gu Zheng, the two families' fathers and Uncle Zhou. Gu Zheng and Uncle Zhou already have watches, but they have been wearing them for many years.
The time is not accurate at all and needs to be adjusted every one or two days, which is very troublesome.
The fathers of both families had been farmers all their lives and probably had never touched a watch in their lives. The mothers of both families and Aunt Zhou had never worn any jewelry either.
Ever since Lin Yunxi came to join the army, Aunt Zhou and her family have treated her and Gu Zheng like their own children.
Whenever delicious food was cooked at home, it would be sent to her immediately. When Gu Zheng was out on a mission, the old couple were always thinking about her and taking good care of her feelings.
When Lin Yunxi is busy, Aunt Zhou will help with the housework and look after Yanyan, just so that she can have a good rest after a busy day.
Moreover, as long as Huihui has something, Lin Yunxi must get a share, so they are not parents, but they are better than parents.
So when Lin Yunxi bought gifts, she bought them for Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou according to the specifications of her parents-in-law and her parents-in-law.
Now that Lin Yunxi and Gu Zheng are capable, they naturally want to respect their parents and give them a good and comfortable life.
Then she went to the clothing area and bought more than twenty sets of clothes, including some for her family of three, some for her husband's family, her parents on her natal side, and Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou.
There are also some for my sister-in-law Hongmei, Zhou Huihui and Qin Xiaoling, as well as several nephews and nieces in my hometown.
Although Lin Yunxi can make clothes in the processing factory in the space, the styles and comfort of the clothes she makes are far better than those sold outside.
But after all, since you are in Beijing, you should bring back some Beijing specialties and gifts.
Lin Yunxi walked around a bit and found that this supply and marketing cooperative also sold double-sided embroidery from Suzhou, brocade from Hangzhou, and cheongsams made of Yunjin.
She couldn't help herself and bought some of everything.
Especially the cheongsam, which in this era relied on manual embroidery and the craftsmanship of master craftsmen, and it often took more than half a month to make one.
Moreover, Yunjin is finely woven, with exquisite patterns and colorful designs. It is so beautiful that it does not seem like an earthly thing, but more like a heavenly garment. Therefore, Yunjin is also called "heavenly garment".
The clothes made of this fabric are even more beautiful, and each one is in her heart.
Lin Yunxi’s current mentality is: as long as she likes someone, she can take them all without having to put herself in a difficult position.
So she bought all the cheongsams that she liked, eight or nine in total.
Among them, Lin Yunxi’s favorite is the pink cheongsam embroidered with various butterflies in various shapes. It looks dignified and energetic.
And that pink color is specially blended, so it doesn't look pretentious or gaudy at all.
As for snacks and skin care products, they were not within Lin Yunxi's consideration.
Snacks are easy to spoil, and the skin care products displayed in the glass cabinet are not as good as those she makes herself.
Lin Yunxi's own research on skin care products, coupled with the thousands of formulas in the space mall and the blessing of spiritual spring water, makes the skin care products she produces very popular.
Because of her pursuit of beauty, Lin Yunxi even built her own skin care laboratory in the space.
Specially used for research, now everyone in the family uses her homemade skin care products, including Gu Zheng, Yanyan and the parents of both families.
These skin care products are specially customized according to the skin condition of each of them, so the effect will only be more obvious.
Last time, she received letters from her mother's family and her husband's mother, both of whom praised the skin care products she made.
It is said that after using it, the age spots on the face disappeared, the wrinkles were reduced a lot, and the whole person looked ten years younger.
Now, whenever Lin Yunxi said she was sending skin care products back home, the two mothers would be more excited than if she had sent back money and tickets.
It seems that women of all ages pursue beauty.
Moreover, many women in the village were very envious and wanted to ask Gu's mother and Lin's mother to help them to see if they could buy some from Lin Yunxi.
But both parents refused, not to mention that their daughter and daughter-in-law were not short of money at all.
Besides, Yunxi is now managing a large factory by herself and works hard every day. If she were his own daughter/daughter-in-law, he would feel sorry for her.
In fact, this is what Lin Yunxi meant. Making skin care products is just her hobby, and she is happy to do it for her family.
If it becomes a task, it loses its original fun.
However, this also gave Lin Yunxi a new idea. She has now developed several formulas for toner, lotion, face cream and eye cream.
Moreover, all the formulas use Chinese herbal medicines, so it is entirely possible to set up a pharmaceutical cosmetics division to be responsible for the production, sales and after-sales of skin care products.
