When Shan Chong parked the car, Wei Zhi and her friends had already walked around the ski equipment store and were now quietly discussing a light purple and pink bib snow suit.
The little girl stood on tiptoe, touched here and looked there, pulled out the price tag and took a look at it, then tilted her head slightly and said something to Jiang Nanfeng, seeming very satisfied.
"These bibs are low-rise and loose, which means that when you're rolling on the slopes, all the snow will fall into your pants through the gap at the waist, which can cause a cold at best, or even cold legs at worst."
A calm male voice sounded from the back of my head.
Wei Zhi turned around and looked at the man standing behind her, who was looking down at her. The two looked at each other, and he finished his final conclusion slowly -
"Not for you."
"Nonsense," she protested softly, still holding the leg of her dungarees with one hand, "If that's what you said, then who are these dungarees that leak snow designed for?"
Shan Chong glanced at her and replied coldly, "People who don't wrestle."
“…”
Making a face behind his mask, Wei Zhiwu fiercely let go of the overalls that he was about to swipe to pay with his card.
Ignoring her anger, Shan Chong looked up into the store, and at this moment the boss came out and said:
As soon as the two met, the latter's face lit up with sunshine.
"Hey, what kind of gods have we been worshipping recently? These gods have been coming one after another. Just after we sent Dai Duo away, he came to buy snow goggles. He said that the previous one was taken away by a dog in the mountains..."
The owner of the ski shop was still mumbling "Hey, where did this dog come from on this mountain?" He didn't notice the expression on Shan Chong's face, and raised his voice -
"Now look at what's blowing, bringing our Chong Ye here again... Are you willing to come down the mountain? The oil price has gone up again."
"It's not in vain."
Shan Chong was too lazy to care about what Dai Duo was talking about. He just raised his eyelids and spoke briefly.
"Gloves, face protection, quick-drying clothes... Do you have them?"
He came to purchase goods.
Like a debt collector.
Fortunately, the shop owner is used to it.
Shan Chong Mo.
The first person to promote products on Xuequan.
He is a golden commodity for brand sponsors. Whatever he wears or uses becomes a hit of the season. The worst case was probably when he had just returned to the snowboarding circle. Because his waist was still recovering, he couldn't just jump out of the platform casually, so he decided to try carving. Then, at the beginning of the snow season, he single-handedly sold a Gray mach carving skateboard to double the price.
In fact, people also know that just because you use the same board as the big guys doesn’t mean you can skate as well as them. The big guys can fly even if they just step on a piece of wood…
But Shan Chong, not to mention his skills, he has a great height and figure, and whatever he wears and uses is unique.
Unlike the gay men on the street, skiing is a sport that is quite fashionable. Men who enjoy skiing tend to be more or less aesthetic. Once men decide to start dressing up, their purchasing power... is far beyond the reach of women (this may be the main reason why the men's ski suits of many brands are 10,000 times better looking than the women's).
Therefore, even a product promoter like Shan Chong would have people vying to sponsor him from head to toe, even his underwear...
If all his sponsorships were listed one by one like those in short video media, I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough space on a single page.
From big brands to the large comprehensive ski equipment store they are currently in, all of them are his financial backers.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the shop owner began to think about whether there were any new gloves or face protectors that needed to be promoted... He slapped his forehead and was about to go look for them, but the man waved his hands and said there was no rush.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed the hat outside the down coat of the little girl who was like a white snowball next to him, and dragged her to his side.
"Get her a pair of shoes first... What size do you wear?"
His voice was lazy, but he had not forgotten the main purpose of this trip down the mountain.
"36." The man whose hat he was pulling answered obediently.
The shop owner looked at the little girl who was standing next to the man and just above his shoulder, and was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
"Who is this, your sister?" asked the shop owner.
"Why are you cursing?" Shan Chong answered casually, letting go of Wei Zhi, "It's my apprentice."
"Apprentice?" The shop owner was even more confused. "Which apprentice of yours would need you to personally bring him to choose shoes? This year, Huayan bought three boards, three pairs of shoes, and four bindings from me without telling you a word. It was me who took the initiative to ask for your discount—"
Over there, Lao Yan is looking at the new style of safety helmets.
He was studying a shark helmet, and when he heard this, he interrupted without even looking up: "Three boards and three pairs of shoes? Sister Hua, are you doing some dance in the park or performing some shaman dance? Are you here to buy some magic tools?"
Shan Chong: “I work hard.”
After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and said to Wei Zhi: "Completely different from you."
Wei Zhi just said "Oh" without any sense of competition and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Lao Yan smiled and continued chatting with the shop owner: "Did you hear that? Being lazy is now legal. You don't even need to do anything. Just chant a few words. It's as kind as Buddha... Brother Chong is interested in this young lady. For a player who has just learned how to change blades, how can she be taught the same way from putting on the board——"
Lao Yan put on the helmet and looked in the mirror: "It's very precious."
Shan Chong glanced at him lazily and commented, "He looks like a Tainan native."
With a dark face, Yan silently took off his helmet and put it back on the shelf.
The shop owner was immersed in the fact that "Shan Chong accepted a new apprentice and personally brought her to buy shoes, and did not refute a single word or punctuation mark when Lao Yan said that she was a precious apprentice"...
Over there, Shan Chong urged Wei Zhi to stop looking at the clothes and just do what he had to do.
Snow boots are generally products of the five major traditional ski brands: Burton, Deelux, Thirtytwo, DC, and Nitro. Brands like Adidas, Nike, and Vans have also produced them, but few people buy them, and most ski equipment stores do not stock them.
Snowshoes from different brands have different main features, and the wearing methods are not very unified. Among them, the most popular ones are Burton. As a long-established professional skiing brand, it has always been the leader in various equipment.
Unfortunately, there are too few styles of ski boots. They are either black or dark blue, with a little white at most... and other brands of ski boots are mostly dark brown, liver red, etc. Once you wear them on the snow, they all look the same.
"It doesn't look good." Wei Zhi said.
"It's better looking than the one at the ski resort." Shan Chong replied.
Wei Zhi was convinced again.
She casually picked up a pair of snowshoes from the shelf and was looking through them when they were taken away. She watched the man casually press the tongue of the shoe, reach in to touch the heel, and then return the shoes to her.
"Too soft," he said. "Change."
Different snowshoe brands and models have different hardness levels, corresponding to different ways of playing with branches. The ones held in the hands of Weizhi are soft, highly mobile, and have elastic insoles. They are a pair of standard flat flower shoes - not suitable for novices who are in the stage of learning to slide.
Wei Zhi glanced at the shoes in the man's hand and was about to say that he couldn't change them because all the shoes on this shelf looked the same.
At this moment, the door of the ski equipment shop was pushed open from the outside.
"Old Yu, I'm here to get something!"
The afternoon sun poured in, and with a crisp sound, a slender figure swayed in from outside -
The person who came in was a young girl, she was very tall, wearing a light pink sweater with a white turtleneck sweater underneath, AJs on her feet, and a high ponytail, looking neat and tidy.
She was not wearing a mask, her makeup was delicate, and she looked particularly beautiful.
The girl came in like a gust of wind, making such a loud noise that Wei Zhi and Shan Chongbu both turned around and looked outside the door.
The previous second, Wei Zhi was still wondering which young lady this was, as she looked very good at skating. The next second, he heard Shan Chong calling her name in a sleepy tone, neither too loud nor too soft.
"Flower."
…
Hua Yan originally rushed into the ski equipment store in a hurry.
Before she even stood firmly on her heels, she heard someone calling her in a hoarse voice in the corner. The heating in the store was so strong, but the sound of the voice made her hair stand on end.
She braked and saw her master standing not far away, holding a pair of Burton snowshoes that were obviously women's size in his hand, looking at her intently.
My whole body was tense, and the ponytail on my head seemed to have drooped down by three millimeters.
"Brother Chong," the pretty girl blinked, "What are you doing here?"
"My gloves are broken, so I came down the mountain to get some more."
Shan Chong casually put the shoes in his hand on the shelf, glanced at the little girl beside him, and slowly added, "And bring someone down to buy a pair of shoes."
Following her gaze, Hua Yan saw the person standing next to Shan Chong—a small white person, just as tall as Shan Chong's shoulder and her chin. At this moment, he was blinking and looking at her curiously.
Yep.
Hua Yan was happy: "Oh, it's her! The legendary little sister! I just heard those people talking about Dai Duo's snow mirror——"
Shan Chong: “Ahem.”
Hua Yan: "…………Did you buy Dai Duo's new snow goggles?"
Shan Chong said indifferently: "How should I know?"
Hua Yan came over, walked around Wei Zhi, thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, he's a good skier."
Wei Zhi looked at her curiously until Shan Chong translated beside him: "They said you are short."
Weizhi: “…”
Hua Yan: “…”
Hua Yan: "Master, could you please refrain from making remarks that may affect unity?"
Shan Chong: "Isn't that what you mean?"
"That's not what I meant. Ignore him." Hua Yan finished talking to Wei Zhi, rolled her eyes and asked the only damned straight man present, "...We all heard that you just accepted a new girl as your apprentice, why don't you add her to the group? Anyone can teach you to change the way you do things. Those idle single dogs in the group will kowtow to you three times like crazy, right?"
Shan Chong: “…”
The wolf was digging the ground and kowtowed like crazy...
I have a sense of picture.
There are hundreds of people in Shan Chong's apprentice group, and there are only a handful of girls. Excluding those who already have boyfriends or have obtained marriage certificates, the composition of the group is probably purer than that of a boys' school.
The people inside go to the ski resort every day, from the beginning to the end of the snow season. When the snow season is over, all the girls run away, and then they realize: I am still single this year.
What attitude can I have towards my junior sister who lives under the same roof and in the same group?
After hearing what Hua Yan said, Shan Chong regretted calling her over.
His eyelids twitched, and he casually said, "Pushing the slope is the basics, it's very important, do I need you to teach me blindly?"
Hua Yan didn't dwell on this issue any further. She greeted Wei Zhi with a smile and took Shan Chong to see her newly purchased equipment.
——It would be fine if the master is not here, but since he is here, I can ask him to research which board to use first, which fastener to match, and what angle of the fastener is more suitable.
Shan Chong had shown these to his disciples many times, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"You continue to look at shoes yourself, and then pick out a few pairs for me to look at."
After saying this to his master, he followed Hua Yan to the counter.
Weizhi was left standing under a large wall of snowshoe displays. She raised her hands and scratched her head.
I was left behind before I could even react.
…
Shan Chong and Lao Yan went to show Hua Yan the equipment, so Wei Zhi and Jiang Nanfeng went to touch and look around.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw the store owner pulling out a lot of boxes from the warehouse on a trailer. The long ones were probably snowboards, and the square ones were opened and pulled out bindings. In addition, there were also a few shoe boxes.
The snowboard was nitro, and there was one each for Burton and Gray. Gray was a skateboard. Shan Chong picked it up, looked at it, and weighed it: "Changing career?"
Hua Yan snatched the board back, fearing that her master would break her new board if she was unhappy: "When you can't jump, can't you just slide down a few times to relax? ... ... Don't you have a mach yourself!!!"
Shan Chong kept the posture of having his snowboard taken away. His hands slowly grabbed it in the air. He glanced at the remaining two boards, was silent for a moment, and said, "Why are you so nervous? I'm just asking. Your board is good. I haven't skied a camber board for a long time. Can you lend it to me?"
"New board! Can it withstand your hard work? It will be as good as new after one trip!" Hua Yan hugged her board tightly and almost screamed, raising her voice, "Buy it yourself!"
“No money.”
"Ask the sponsor dad for it!!!" Hua Yan groped the board in her arms lovingly, "If you ask for it, how can they not give it to you? I heard that BS alone gave you three sets of clothes this year!!!"
"I kept one set," Shan Chong said, "but I didn't like the other two, so I sold them."
"……………………You really know how to live." Hua Yan was speechless with a face full of confusion, "I saw on a short video website that you uploaded three sets of videos."
"I sold it after the video was filmed, so it's discounted."
"You're quite regretful?"
“Later, all three of their models sold well.”
"Okay, I'll be a model for now. If you don't ski anymore, would you consider becoming a product influencer?" Hua Yan put down the board and turned to remove the bindings. While removing them, she asked without looking up, "By the way, brother, what angle do you install your Mach bindings at?"
Shan Chong pondered for a moment and said without hesitation: "It seems to be 34, 26."
"Is it okay at a small angle?"
"Um."
Hua Yan didn't say anything when she heard that. She took the Gray skateboard and the new bindings and went to the side to install the bindings herself, probably according to the data that Shan Chong had just said.
The conversation in the ski shop stopped briefly.
Wei Zhi, who was not far away, also silently withdrew his gaze.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Nanfeng beside her, who was holding a pair of Burton shoes that faded from dark blue to white and was fiddling with them. Wei Zhi reached out and poked her.
"Hmm?" Jiang Nanfeng snorted, "What?"
"I don't understand a word they say," Wei said in a low voice. "What is Mach? Snowboards have names? What is Camber? Aren't all bindings angled outward? What is a small angle straight?"
"Why are you singing here?" Jiang Nanfeng said with a frown, "Why are you listening so carefully when you don't understand?"
Weizhi's hands, tucked into her sleeves, grasped the fabric weakly. "Well," she said in a long voice, "I just overheard it. They seemed to know each other very well."
A wanton fight.
Just kidding.
With just a snowboard in hand, they can use professional terms that many people don’t understand, have in-depth discussions, and it seems that they both have a lot to talk about.
This is different from the cold and sarcastic coach at the ski resort.
When he asked her to try out the new board, his expression was relaxed.
"Isn't it normal to be so familiar with each other?" Jiang Nanfeng asked curiously, "The boss must have more than one disciple. These people must have studied with him for a long time. It's normal for them to have a good relationship with each other!"
One sentence hits something extraordinary.
Weizhi's mind went blank for a few seconds, and he carefully glanced at the man not far away. At this time, the latter had one hand on the armrest of the pushcart and with the other hand he took out a shoe box from the goods bought by the young lady. Without even asking her "Can I see your things?", he directly opened the box and took out a pair of shoes from it.
It's too far away and I can't see what the shoes look like clearly.
I saw Shan Chong taking it in his hand and looking at it for a while, then he paused and looked at the number printed on the inside of the shoe.
"Hua Hua, why are your shoes so small? Just because you buy a size smaller for ski boots doesn't mean you're going to cut off your heels and stuff them in so you can act in Frozen?"
"Do you know how hard it is to buy this? I had to buy it two sizes smaller because it was sold out. I had to squeeze in even if I had to... And the cut-off heels are just like the plot of Cinderella!"
A young lady's voice of protest came from the corner of the ski equipment store. Shan Chong, who couldn't tell whether it was "Cinderella" or "Frozen", was shameless and expressionless, while Lao Yan was laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
——The atmosphere in the ski shop is great, but it has nothing to do with Wei Zhi.
So she silently withdrew her gaze, casually touched the shoe rack beside her, sighed, and suddenly her chest was filled with sour emotions...
I kind of regret going down the mountain to buy shoes today.
Why?
have no idea.
The master has many apprentices, and each of them skates better than her.
“…”
Weizhi raised his hand, clenched his fist and gently hit his forehead.
This emotion was a little unfamiliar to her. She was a little surprised at where this inexplicable ugly jealousy came from...It was none of her business whether two big guys were chatting or not, really!
He squatted down somewhat disappointedly.
A finger was drawing circles on the carpet in the ski shop, and he was seriously thinking whether he had a serious illness...
At this time, the light in front of my eyes became dimmer.
"This carpet has not been washed since the store opened. Is it dirty?"
A low, magnetic voice sounded, and there was a person in front of me.
Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment, looking up blankly along the other person's straight and slender legs, and met a pair of emotionless dark eyes.
The man who was originally at the cashier counter came back to her without her noticing.
"Is this okay?"
In the casual voice, a pair of shoes was placed in front of him——
The main color is white, but the lining is red and the edge of the shoe is black.
Drawstring on sides.
The classic color combination of black, white and red. In addition to the black strap on the front, there is also a very cute Velcro with black English words "Deeluxe" on it.
Unlike the large wall of snowboard boots and five or six brands of snowboard boots behind Weizhi, these boots look very good and you can tell at a glance that they should be very versatile no matter what color snow suit you wear.
Weizhi squatted on the ground with his knees hugged, raised his head and looked at the man in confusion, meaning, where did you get this thing from? I didn't see it just now?
Shan Chong: "Do you like it?"
Wei Zhi: “Not bad.”
Shan Chong: "Then let's take this."
Weizhi: “Ah?”
Before she could react, she saw the man turn around and say to Hua Yan, who was still fiddling with the angle of her bindings in the corner, "Don't force it. You can't skate two sizes smaller. Do you want to have your limbs amputated? I'll requisition these shoes for you."
Hua Yan: "Ah?"
Weizhi: “Ah?”
Lao Yan: "Are you addicted to snatching equipment and subsidies from your apprentice?"
Shan Chong: "How much is it? Come here and I'll give it to you."
Lao Yan: "Oh, at least you remembered to pay me this time."
