Chapter 355: Can’t Embroider
Ning Jiandong took the words to heart and thought they made sense, so he said, "Let go."
Gu Xinghua didn't let go, "I will only let go if you promise not to go."
"No."
So easy to talk to?
He looked doubtful, "Really not going?"
"No, I'm afraid my brother will find out and beat me up."
Gu Xinghua let go of his hand and asked in surprise, "You are already this old, and your brother still beats you?"
"... occasionally."
In fact, he was often beaten, but he was used to it anyway. The eldest brother is like a father, and he grew up under his brother's iron fist education.
Gu Xinghua didn't believe it, but he knew he wouldn't tell the truth.
But it doesn’t matter. If Old Ning argues with him in the future, he will go to the eldest brother of the Ning family to complain and let the eldest brother beat Old Ning.
Perfect!
Ning Jiandong had no idea what he was thinking. He put the ticket back into the drawer, puzzled, "How did Chi Chi know people from Zhang and Qiao's families?"
"How would I know? From the way they get along, I feel like they have a pretty good relationship. It doesn't look like they just met."
We are too familiar with each other. If we have only known each other for a short time, there will be a sense of strangeness when we get along with each other.
There is no conflict between them, but there is harmony.
"If you want to know, ask Xiao Yi at dinner tonight."
“That makes sense.”
So, the two of them began to look forward to dinner time.
At this time, Yi Chichi had already taken Zhang Xiaoqin and others to the watch counter.
Friendship Store sells a lot of watch brands, both domestically produced and imported.
Zhang Xiaojuan took a fancy to a Titoni watch, a genuine Swiss imported watch, while Qiao Jun took a fancy to a Rolex, I don’t know what model it is, but it looks pretty good.
Both of them are people who have neither shortage of money nor tickets, so they bought it immediately after trying it on.
Yi Chichi asked Zhang Xiaoqin, "You don't want to buy one?"
The teller's eyes lit up and he thought to himself where did Chi Chi's friend come from? She must be so powerful and wealthy. He was so envious of her for having such a capable friend.
"No, I have a watch."
Zhang Xiaoqin waved her hand and said that after her work was arranged, her elder brother bought her a watch and asked her to work hard.
It hasn't been long since I added another one and I really can't wear it all.
“I want to buy that!”
She leaned close to Yi Chichi's ear and spoke in an almost whispered voice.
Yi Chichi turned his head to look at her and found that her face was slightly red, her eyes were wandering and she looked shy, then he understood.
Personal items.
"I'll take you there."
"good."
After saying hello to Qiao Jun and Zhang Xiaojuan, Yi Chichi led her to a counter.
The teller was a older woman, her surname was Xing, her name was Li, and people nicknamed her Xing Jie.
She has a naturally serious face, and when she doesn't smile, it's as if people owe her a hundred or eighty dollars.
It's even scarier when he laughs, as if he wants to fight with someone.
In fact, she is a very soft-hearted person and speaks softly with a natural clip-like voice.
Because her voice and appearance were so inconsistent, she would rather not speak.
So, when Yi Chichi brought people over, she didn't even bother to greet them and just used her eyes to signal, "Your friend?"
"Sister, this is my friend Zhang Xiaoqin, she wants to buy something."
Sister Xing raised her chin slightly and pointed at the counter, "Go ahead."
Zhang Xiaoqin's eyes suddenly widened. How could the voice and appearance be so different? Just as she was wondering, Yi Chichi pushed her and said, "Hurry up and tell me."
Zhang Xiaoqin uttered "oh" twice and looked around like a thief. Seeing that there were only a few customers around except the teller, and they were all female customers, she quickly leaned over the counter and said in a low voice, "Sister, I want to buy some underwear, and..."
She opened her mouth and said a string of names, and Sister Xing nodded to show that she knew, then bent down and took out what Zhang Xiaoqin wanted.
He didn't give it to me directly, but said, "Come in and see which one you want?"
Yi Chichi, "???"
Are there more options?
She pulled Zhang Xiaoqin to the counter and squatted down. The three of them whispered like they were meeting with underground party members.
"this,"
Sister Xing handed over a pink top with an underwire, "This is a new one, it's better looking than the one without an underwire."
"Let me see."
Zhang Xiaoqin became interested and took it after looking it over inside and out.
And asked for three at a time.
Then there are menstrual products, toilet paper and the like.
The women's products sold in the Friendship Store are of better quality than those sold in department stores. After all, their target audience includes foreign guests, and they sell goods that are exported and then sold domestically. Imported goods are difficult to buy elsewhere, but this is not uncommon here.
Zhang Xiaoqin bought a lot based on the principle of not returning empty-handed.
Sister Xing packed her things quickly and asked Yi Chichi, "Chi, do you want to buy something?"
"No, I have one."
She said "oh" and paid the bill.
Then, Zhang Xiaoqin took the purchased items and left with Yi Chichi to meet up with Qiao Jun and the others.
These two hands were really not empty, as they had already bought a lot of things, from clothes to food, and also had two Maozi.
As soon as Yi Chichi arrived, Qiao Jun handed over the straw in his hand and said, "Take this back to my father."
"……good."
Aunt Mu doesn't allow Uncle Yaozi to drink alcohol. You can drink some medicinal wine, but this white one...
But forget it, she is only responsible for taking care of the children, and they will have to worry about how to distribute the children when they get back.
So, she took the thatch and held it in her hand, "Are there anything else you want to buy?"
"have."
OK, let’s continue shopping.
If she hadn't noticed it before, she would have found that Qiao Jun and his family were really well off.
I bought a lot of things and spent nearly two thousand dollars.
I also bought a gold-embroidered peacock on a moonlit night. This small piece of embroidery cost me more than five hundred yuan.
Yi Chichi wondered, "Buy the gold-embroidered ornaments?"
"No, it's a gift. An elder's birthday is coming up."
Zhang Xiaojuan was extremely satisfied with the gold-studded embroidery she bought. After admiring it carefully, she asked the cashier to wrap it up. She turned around and asked Yi Chichi, "Where is your Suzhou embroidery double-sided embroidery? Why don't I see it?"
This means I also want to buy a pair of double-sided Suzhou embroidery.
Just as Yi Chichi was about to answer, the teller spoke before her, "Xiaoyi's double-sided embroidery is in small quantities, and our target customer base is foreign guests and overseas Chinese. We don't have any stock right now."
I produce one immediately after receiving one, and I earn foreign currency.
Other embroidery also earns foreign exchange, but there are many masters, so there is inventory.
Zhang Xiaoqin, “!!!”
She looked at Yi Chichi and asked persistently, "So there is no hope for me to buy double-sided embroidery?"
Yi Chichi smiled, "No."
Zhang Xiaoqin's face fell instantly, "I want to buy it."
Qiao Jun felt sorry for his girlfriend and immediately said, "Let Chi Chi embroider one for you at the market price."
“I can’t embroider it.”
Yi Chichi said decisively that there was really no way he could take this job as he was too busy.
"Why?"
"I have a painting on hand that needs to be completed before the two trade fairs in the second half of next year. I really don't have time to do another one."
Then she asked Zhang Xiaoqin, "What do you want double-sided embroidery for?"
"I want to put one in my bedroom as a decoration when I get married."
This is a girl who pays attention to romance.
However, with the capabilities of the Zhang and Qiao families, she has the capital to do so.
“You should buy Cantonese embroidery.”
Pointing to the pomegranate painting in the display cabinet, she said, "It has a good meaning. It's just right for you to use after you get married."
Pomegranates have many seeds, so pomegranate images are often used to symbolize the prosperity of descendants.
