Chapter 127 Bargaining is like quarreling
Dai Qing picked up her small black bag, left the alley under the gazes of several people, and disappeared around the corner.
"Oh my god, how can Sister Dai be so young and capable?"
"One person beat seven people, cleanly and efficiently, without any delay. I wish I could have such skills someday."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you were as good as Sister Dai, I would call you brother." Yan Biao raised his foot and kicked Xinwa on the butt, telling him to go buy some iodine to disinfect the wound.
Dai Qing returned to the hotel according to her memory. After entering the lobby, the waiter recognized her at a glance and said, "I thought you were lost."
"I saw a small hot pot restaurant on the road and ate there for a while." Dai Qing smiled gently and went upstairs.
After entering the room, I took a shower directly to wash off all my fatigue. I waited for her to blow dry her hair and sat by the window.
Looking at the busy streets under the street lights and the many night market stalls, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Who could have imagined that there would be a bustling city here with all kinds of people, while there would be fighting and kicking in the remote alleys over there.
No matter what time it is, people's sorrows and joys are different.
After her hair was completely dry, Dai Qingpan sat on the bed and continued to practice her skills.
Today was her first time fighting with someone, and she felt pretty good. If she continued to practice like this, she would be able to protect herself as long as no one shot her.
The next day, I opened my eyes at eight in the morning.
Dai Qing finished washing up and packed all her clothes into her backpack, making sure nothing was left behind before going downstairs to check out. She was going to see the Imperial City today, and watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow morning, so she couldn't stay in this area.
When I left, I specifically asked the customer service about the bus, took the bus directly to the Imperial City, and walked for about ten minutes to the ticket office.
The current ticket price has not increased, and the tour ticket is five yuan.
In his previous life, Liu Ming once came to the capital with a friend. It seemed to be in 1996. The ticket price had already increased, 40 yuan in the off-season and 60 yuan in the peak season. After returning from the visit, he boasted to her for a long time.
In order to have a good time, Dai Qing thought about it and spent ten yuan to find a tour guide.
Someone led the way in, so Dai Qing didn't have to plan her own tour route and just followed the guide into the Meridian Gate.
A customer who was easy to take care of. The tour guide looked at her with gentle eyes and a gentle tone.
"Do you need to store your luggage? The small doorway west of the Meridian Gate is the luggage storage area."
"No need, my bag is not heavy." Dai Qing shook her head.
"Okay, let's take a look at the square first. It's a good place to take pictures. There are five golden water bridges, representing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. The emperors in ancient times would walk straight on the middle one..."
Dai Qing followed her, listened to her explanation, looked around in the direction she pointed, and then continued to walk inside with her. Every palace has its own story. Perhaps because she was the only tourist, the tour guide's explanation was very detailed and interesting.
When we arrived at the Palace of Fine Arts, the tour guide suggested, "If you like stamps and the like, you can get them here. There are special staff to stamp them."
Having already made the trip, Dai Qing was not stingy and selected a few distinctive postcards and asked the staff to put stamps on them. Whether she took them home to keep as a collection or to give as a gift to someone else, it would be a souvenir.
It took two hours to tour the entire palace, and then the two returned to the square. The tour guide's work was completed and he left.
Dai Qing sat on the steps, looking at the clear sky, took out a water bottle from her bag, replenished some water, and took a break.
Because it was a holiday, there were many visitors, and the place was full of laughter and life.
After coming out of the palace, Dai Qing familiarized herself with the surrounding routes and began to look for a place to stay.
After crossing a street, I finally found a similar hotel. Maybe because it was close to the palace, the price was a little more expensive than the last time I stayed.
She doesn't have high requirements. As long as the room is clean and has hot water, she'll be fine.
After checking in, Dai Qing rested in the room for a while and then went out to find something to eat. Today she planned to eat the hotel's signature dish, roast duck. She would not go to a big restaurant, but a small restaurant hidden in the alley.
This was also the information she got from asking people while walking in the alleys.
After many twists and turns, she finally found it. Outside the quaint green brick and tile house, the aroma of roast duck wafted in the air. It was nearby and she could just follow the smell to find it.
She ordered a whole roast duck and the duck rack for soup.
Maybe it was because of her practice, but she had a big appetite. After eating a roast duck and drinking two bowls of soup, her stomach was just full.
The highest level of travel is to eat well and have fun.
After eating, we continued to play and walked all the way to the pedestrian street. I heard that the most fashionable clothes and jewelry in the country are all here. As long as you have money, you can buy everything.
It was the first time she saw such a bustling pedestrian street. It was very novel. The shops with unique decorations and the shop assistants in formal attire were very novel.
The capital is the capital, it is not on the same level as those small cities.
When passing by a clothing store, Dai Qing went in for a look and saw a light blue blazer with a hood. It was a medium-length style and made her look like a polar bear when she put it on.
But if worn by a tall and thin person, it will make one look cute and adorable.
Simply put, this kind of clothes is picky.
"How much is this?"
"This blouse is 350 yuan. It's from Hong Kong and a new model. There's also a shorter version with a jacket for 260 yuan. You can wear either."
The waiter scanned her first before introducing her.
"Take a size and try it out." Dai Qing pointed at the long one.
The salesperson took it off and let her try it on. Dai Qing put it on and looked in the mirror. It was just as she expected. She weighed 100 kilograms and was 1.65 meters tall, so the suit fit her well.
“Can it be cheaper?”
"If you like it, give me ten dollars off and take it for three hundred and fifty." The clerk looked at her and spoke directly.
"One hundred and sixty, are you selling it?" Her monthly salary was only one hundred and ninety yuan. If she didn't have extra income, she would never be able to afford it.
"What? Do you think this is a grocery store? How can you bargain like that? This is a brand store. The clothes here are all from Hong Kong, and there are also many European brands."
The clerk stared at Dai Qing with an unfriendly tone.
"I don't understand much, but I do know this: it's normal to bargain when doing business. If you don't want to, we can just discuss it. There's no point getting angry, right?"
Dai Qing took off her cotton padded jacket and looked back at her calmly.
The clerk calmed down and said, "Three hundred and four, no less."
"It's still high, one hundred and eighty. If you agree, I'll pay for it now."
"I don't think you're buying clothes sincerely."
"Who said it wasn't? As long as you agree to my request, I'll pay for it. One piece of clothing costs me a month's salary. I really feel bad about it. I can't pay more than that."
Dai Qing said this, picked up her backpack, turned around and looked at her, her meaning was very clear, if you don’t buy it, I’ll leave.
The clerk looked at Dai Qing angrily and said, "Three hundred yuan, fixed price, take it or not."
"Two hundred yuan, fixed price. If you give it to me, I'll take it. If not, forget it." Dai Qing said, picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
