Chapter 446
A beautiful lady with a graceful figure, wearing a slim floral dress, permed hair, and pearl earrings, heard the three people coming up the stairs and came out to greet them.
She lifted the bead curtain and looked at them calmly. When her gaze fell on Su Miao, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a friendly smile. She said, "So, you're three good sisters. Let me guess, you're here... to get your ears pierced?"
The three of them exchanged a glance, and Su Miao politely responded, "Hello, sister. We want to get our ears pierced. We just went to the foot of the water tower, but didn't dare to get it done. We wanted to come to you to see if your technique is gentler."
"Call me Sister Lina. Come in and sit down. I'll show you my tools. They are rare on the market!" Sister Lina's tone was full of pride.
The three of them walked into the room and sat down in a row on the soft sofa.
I watched Sister Lina take out a tool from an exquisite big box. The shape of the tool was a bit like a small pistol, small and exquisite, but the wound on the front end was in the shape of a nail, which looked quite strange.
"Look, this is called an ear piercing gun. After disinfecting it, aim it at your earlobe and with a click, it goes through. It's so fast, it'll be done before you even know it."
Hu Xiaodie and Meng Jiajia had never seen an ear piercing gun before and were amazed at the existence of such a great thing! They immediately decided to use the ear piercing gun to get their ears pierced.
Su Miao’s focus was not on this, but on the word “disinfection”.
She frowned slightly, thinking back to the scene at the foot of the water tower. The main problem there was that the disinfection was not in place, and everyone had to use the same needle. If someone had an infectious disease, wouldn't it be dangerous?
Thinking of this, Su Miao asked cautiously: "Sister Lina, does this gun head need to be changed for each person, or do we all use this one?"
"Gun tips are all disposable, but this one is made of iron. Go back and change it for a silver one, and I'll make it for you.
However, I think you have heard that my fees are not cheap.
Shooting with a gun is 1 yuan each, and a pair is 1.5 yuan. After all, I give you silver earrings, not just earrings like those sold outside." Sister Lina said truthfully, with a calm look in her eyes.
"Wow~ That's really not cheap. It's as much as Miaomiao's haircut." Hu Xiaodie muttered softly, her eyes wide open and her face full of surprise.
However, after seeing Am's violent moves just now, the three of them felt that it was worth spending a little more money. At least it looked cleaner and more hygienic.
Sister Lina saw that Su Miao was concerned about hygiene, and thought to herself: This girl is a very particular person.
So, she patiently explained: "I have both gun and hand injections. Each person has a needle disinfected with alcohol. They are directly injected into your ears and taken away. No one is reused."
Hu Xiaodie and Meng Jiajia thought, hitting with hands is just the same as what Am did just now, how can it compare to shooting with a gun.
Su Miao, however, asked curiously, "Sister Lina, is it better to shoot with your hands or with a gun?"
"Of course it's better to type it by hand!" Sister Lina answered directly.
"Ah? Typing by hand is better? Shouldn't the new method be better?" Hu Xiaodie asked. The three of them were confused about this.
Sister Lina said bluntly: "Is the new method necessarily stronger? There are pros and cons, right?
The speed of shooting is fast, so the pain will be reduced a little, but the force is great and the wound is large, the healing time is slightly longer, and it is easy to go astray.
The accuracy of hand shooting is good. In fact, if the technique is good, the speed is almost the same as shooting with a gun, and it will be gone in an instant.
I'm different from some other sisters out there. I don't use repeated needles or ropes. I just use a silver needle to thread the hair, so I don't have to change it myself when I get home."
Su Miao thought about it and decided to bravely use her hands to make the wound heal faster. As long as it was disinfected properly, she could endure the pain.
"Okay, you sit here."
Su Miao watched Sister Lina wash her hands, then disinfected the pointed earrings with alcohol, wiped her earlobes with alcohol, and then rubbed her earlobes like Am did just now.
Su Miao closed his eyes and nervously held the hands of Hu Xiaodie and Meng Jiajia. He heard two "pops" on his earlobes, which felt like a sharp needle piercing his flesh.
Before her pain nerves could react, Sister Lina started operating on the other side.
"It's done, look in the mirror."
Su Miao looked at the large mirror on the table. There were small earrings on her earlobes, which sparkled and looked quite magical.
"Miao Miao, does it hurt?" Hu Xiaodie watched the whole process of her earrings being pierced and felt that it was more acceptable than piercing her ears with thread just now.
Su Miao shook her head, then nodded and said, "It didn't hurt when it was first inserted, but it's starting to hurt a little now."
With her taking the lead, the other two stopped hesitating and got everything done in a few minutes.
Because they came together, Sister Lina gave them a discount and charged one dollar per person.
Then she said, "Not only do I pierce your ears, I can also do eyebrow shaping, shave, and put on makeup. I also have beautiful jewelry for sale. Come here often if you need anything."
"You have jewelry? Sister Lina, what jewelry do you have?"
Sister Lina brought out a large box. When she opened it, she found several jewelry boxes in the shape of drawers. Each drawer was like a small treasure house.
There are many earrings, ear studs and bracelets on display, each of which shines with a unique brilliance.
She took out another box containing necklaces and opened it carefully. The necklaces inside were even more dazzling.
"My jewelry is made of high-quality materials. I personally sourced the pearls and jade myself, not wholesalers! Each piece is a masterpiece, and many are unique."
"Wow~"
The three girls looked at the sparkling things in front of them and exclaimed in admiration. They didn't expect that there was such a different world on the second floor of a small shop facing the street. The jewelry looked dazzling and exquisite, and the styles were very beautiful.
"Sister Lina, you have such a clever hand. You can do both makeup and jewelry."
Although Su Miao already had a box of pearl jewelry, she was still moved when she saw these.
The two friends next to him almost drooled.
Meng Jiajia said regretfully: "Such beautiful jewelry, made of pearls and jade, must be very expensive."
Sister Lina waved her hand and said, "To be honest, since I bought the materials myself, the cost is not as expensive as buying finished goods. As for my labor fee, I have the final say. Let's just treat it as making friends. You can take a look first, and I will try my best to give you a discount."
Lina's words were indeed honest. She used real materials, but for small jewelry, some inferior materials were more than enough. She also bought in bulk, so the cost of raw materials was not high.
In the end, Meng Jiajia and Hu Xiaodie both picked out their favorite pearl earrings and garnet bracelets within their budget of 3 yuan.
Rich woman Su Miao liked this and that, and finally spent 30 yuan to buy a bunch of them. Sister Lina also gave her a few small boxes, which she could put directly in when she wanted to give gifts to others in the future.
In this way, the three girls got new hairstyles, pierced their ears, and bought new jewelry, and spent a very satisfying day.
