Chapter 190 Shopping
Jinran felt a little awkward and wanted to take the ginseng back, but the old man took it with a speed that was disproportionate to his age.
Jinran's "???" is this reasonable?
The old man stared at the ginseng in his hand with such rapt attention that he looked completely obsessed.
Jinran coughed once, ignoring her. She coughed again, loudly, but still received no response.
Okay, I'll just take a look around then.
I don't recognize these medicinal herbs, but I do recognize the finished medicines. Many of them are medicines that have been lost to later generations. It seems that some of these medicines require ingredients from rare and protected animals, so production has stopped. But I've heard that they are extremely effective.
I had to buy everything, including supplements good for both men and women. I was surprised to find that the pharmacy also sold tonics.
Jinran was having a great time browsing by herself, while the old man finally came to his senses. He exclaimed to Jinran in amazement, "This ginseng is truly top-quality! And it must be eight hundred years old. I've dealt with medicinal herbs my whole life, and I've seen all kinds of herbs, but I've never seen anything this good before. Little girl, are you really going to buy it?"
Jinran, still holding a bowl of bird's nest in her hand, nodded, "Sell it, and then buy what your shop needs."
The old man laughed heartily and said readily, "I'll give you a 10% discount on your purchases. For this ginseng, I'll give you HK$200,000! This is the price I can offer. I dare say, no one else would give you this price. I really like it! As they say, money can't buy what you love."
Jinran was taken aback; the price had really doubled, or even increased several times over. Then she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Since there's a discount today, why not take advantage of it?
If you see something you like, grab it. Keep it on hand for future use, and also stock up on some children's medicine supplies.
The total cost was 50,000 yuan, and that was after discounts.
The old man didn't seem to mind, and just asked Jinran with a smile, "Can you take it yourself? Do you need me to send someone to deliver it to you?"
Jinran easily slung the several large packages over her shoulder, packed the Hong Kong dollars she had been given along with them, held them in front of her chest, and carried them separately. Then she said goodbye, told everyone she would come again next time, and turned to leave with a flourish.
The old man was left dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.
I found a secluded, deserted place and put the items into my storage space. I haven't finished my shopping task for today yet; there are still many things to buy.
I don't know when I'll have another chance to be out on my own.
Next stop, jewelry shopping.
She needs to wear jewelry for her mother, grandmother, maternal grandmother, aunt, and also Aunt Gu and Grandma Gu, and oh yes, Grandma Wang. After all, their children have handed over their savings; they have to show their appreciation.
I also need to buy the matching rings I promised Gu Daji.
To be honest, Jinran really saw a pair she really liked. They were wearing very simple bracelets, but there was something inexplicably right between them.
Buy it!
The rest of the money was used to buy gold bracelets, but Jinran also bought a necklace and a ring separately for her mother. She bought earrings for her aunts; they didn't cost much, but they were gold, a token of her affection.
After this whole process, it was all over, and it cost less than 10,000 yuan, which was really cheap. But when Jinran heard that she could pay in gold, she was tempted again.
She may not have much else, but she has countless gold coins. Okay, okay, let's use gold.
Then they gave her another 20,000 yuan.
Jinran felt like she had gained something without spending any money.
That's great!
I ate a little something for lunch and then continued shopping.
Luxury handbags, perfumes, skincare products, makeup—she buys whatever she sees; her innate shopping instincts kick in all at once.
Jinran went completely mad. Everyone says that Hong Kong is a shopping paradise for women, and that's absolutely true.
She didn't forget the two old men who stayed at the hotel. She bought them some clothes and shoes. She also used the money Grandpa Gu had given her to buy Grandma Gu an outfit. She was afraid that if she went back empty-handed, the old couple might have some kind of relationship crisis.
She's such a sweet and considerate girl.
We went to the electronics store again and ordered a lot of home appliances, such as a TV, washing machine, air conditioner, electric fan, bathroom heater and shower head. We bought whatever we could find, because we might not be able to come here again in the future. After she gets married, she will also need to buy and renovate a house, so we need to prepare these things.
But can Lu Ming transport it over there?
While Jinran was agonizing over her impulsive purchase, the owner of the electronics store casually asked, "Young man, where are you from?"
"Currently residing in Beijing!"
The shop owner said happily, "That's great! I also have an appliance store in Shenzhen, but I haven't been able to make a name for myself. I see you're a decisive person, buying so many things. I'll deliver them to Beijing for you, but you'll have to pay an extra 300 yuan for shipping. If you help promote it, and you buy 20 sets of home appliances, I'll send a truck to Beijing for 300 yuan. Plus, I'll give you a commission, which applies to other cities too. As long as you can get in touch with them, there's no limit to your commission."
Jinran thought this was great, as it resolved her concerns. As for whether anyone would be interested in buying it later, that was a matter for the future.
The two chatted happily, set a time, and Jinran paid the deposit, took the receipt, and left.
