Chapter 67 Winter Dress Up Shopping in the Underground Mall...
Chapter 67
After listening to her cousin's lecture on what not to install a mirror here and what not to install there, Lin Mujin felt that it was not necessary to buy one.
A small mirror will do the trick.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Lin Mujin glanced at her cousin, who was dressed neatly, and got up to open the door.
It’s cousin Lin.
"Brother."
Cousin Lin held the shirt in his hand and asked, "Sister, did you buy this for me?"
Lin Mujin nodded and said, "Try it on and try it on."
Cousin Lin reached out and ruffled her hair. "Let me finish my shower before trying again."
Lin Mujin was pulling at her hair. It was annoying that she always messed up her hairstyle.
But she is about to go to bed and won’t be going out, so it’s okay!
He grabbed cousin Lin and said, "Brother, you can make shoes, can you see if you can make shoes like this?"
I pulled cousin Lin to the desk, picked up a pencil and started drawing.
Soft and elastic rubber cowhide sole, the upper is soft black calfskin.
The style of the big-toed shoes is so cute.
"This style...? Hmm, quite special." Cousin Lin didn't know how to comment for a moment.
Cousin Lin poked her head out and said, "Sister, why don't you get some heels?"
Lin Mujin shook her head. "No, but I have very high requirements for the sole. I want a cowhide sole, soft and springy, and preferably one that can be twisted a few times without losing its shape."
Cousin Lin shook his head. "How is that possible? Beef tendon is very hard, how can it be so soft?"
Lin Mujin pursed her lips and asked, "How can I make the soles of my shoes very soft?"
Cousin Lin considered it for a moment. "Thousand-layer sole?"
Lin Mujin knew what the thousand-layer sole meant, which was the sole of old cloth shoes.
It doesn't match the leather shoes at all. Besides, it's not soft. It's not like she has worn cloth shoes before.
Cousin Lin also thought it was not a good choice. "I heard that some people make leather soles, using double-layer cowhide or cordovan, but they are not wear-resistant. It's okay if you don't leave the house."
Lin Mujin asked just to give it a try, and she expected the soles of the shoes to not meet her requirements.
Today's chemical technology is naturally incomparable to that of forty years later.
"Then I'd rather choose a cowhide sole. It can have a slight heel, preferably no more than two centimeters." Lin Mujin had no choice but to relax her requirements. "The upper still needs to be calfskin."
The sole was abandoned, but the upper was determined not to compromise.
Cousin Lin nodded, "That's no problem."
Lin Mujin took the initiative to ask, "Sister, why don't you have a pair?"
Cousin Lin shook her head. "No, I have little leather shoes that are not broken at all."
Lin Mujin understood that her elder sister didn't like him.
However, only the feet know whether the shoes are comfortable or not. She would rather choose an uglier one that is comfortable.
If you ask her whether she can draw beautiful shoes, of course she can.
I'll draw it again when I have the chance.
Cousin Lin took the drawings away again.
Lin Mujin also took a basin to wash up, as she had to go to bed early today.
————————
Lin Mujin was walking around the bookstore carrying the backpack her cousin made for her.
Seeing the latest edition of an imported fashion magazine, she flipped through a few pages.
They are all well-known brands, Hermès, Kuchi, Prada, Dior...
However, the most popular is Louis Vuitton's speed bag, which has been revived due to the travel trend, especially the canvas version.
"Adding icing on the cake is not as valuable as giving timely assistance."
Lin Mujin muttered softly, then nodded at Kuchi.
Magazines were all writing about the brand's downturn and speculating about its demise.
I looked for a few more magazines and bought one.
I picked out the latest edition of an English-Chinese dictionary and went to the front desk to pay.
It cost two hundred and eighty dollars.
The English-Chinese dictionary costs 265 yuan, and the magazine costs 15 yuan.
Fortunately, this dictionary can be used for several years. Not only can it be used by her, but everyone in the family can use it, so the higher price is acceptable.
And it's really big, like a big brick, and it will definitely cause concussion if it hits someone.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to bring out her backpack.
I have to say that Cousin Lin's craftsmanship is really good. He has restored her drawings 100%. Every detail is not sloppy. The time-consuming and labor-intensive double-needle method is used in many places, so the quality of the bags is excellent.
Installing such a "big brick" is no big deal.
Lin Mujin put the dictionary and magazine into the backpack, picked up the shoulder straps with one hand and put the bag on again.
What she is most satisfied with about this backpack is the two elastic shoulder straps.
Cousin Lin made the belt hollow and filled it in the middle.
Shredded leather was used, but Cousin Lin was very meticulous in his work. He didn't force it in directly, but sewed the shredded leather into small cylinders before putting them in. This way, the two shoulder straps were extra elastic and the comfort level increased several times.
Because it is too thin, this backpack took me half a month to make, and the spliced shoulder bag was just finished yesterday, which also took me about ten days.
Lin Mujin went to the underground shopping mall after coming out of the bookstore.
Winter is just over half a month away, and it’s time to change clothes for the family.
Hong Kong has a subtropical monsoon climate, so it's not very cold in winter.
The temperature can reach over 10 degrees during the day, so wearing short sleeves is not a problem for those who are cold-resistant.
However, you still need to wear a long-sleeved jacket in the morning and evening. There are also very cold days with temperatures reaching four or five degrees, but they are rare.
Lin Mujin plans to buy a thin sweater for the whole family.
It can be worn over a short-sleeved shirt, taken off during the day and put on again in the morning and evening.
Buy another jacket for Uncle Lin, Cousin Lin and Lin Muli.
Uncle Lin was considering a leather jacket, while Cousin Lin and Lin Muli were considering denim jackets.
As for her and cousin Lin, they both chose windbreakers.
This was discussed at a family meeting.
Because she had a clear goal, Lin Mujin bought everything very quickly and finished it in about an hour and a half.
This is because bargaining took up a lot of time, otherwise it could have been done faster.
Instead of going home, she continued shopping.
The above is family shopping, she also has her own things to do.
She has been saving a lot of money recently. The food truck business has been very stable with no obvious decline. She can get about 1,600 yuan every day.
The royalties were more stable, eight thousand a day. Initially, the work was serialized in five publications, and later one more was added, so she could get seven hundred and twenty dollars a day. Actually, this calculation was not accurate, because after she joined that publication, the work was serialized for more than 100,000 words at once, so she received more than a thousand dollars at that time.
All in all, she is now a wealthy woman.
So I plan to spend some money today.
Gold? Even dogs wouldn’t buy it!
Gold prices have skyrocketed this year, almost tripling compared to last year.
One gram costs more than 130 yuan.
Damn it, she didn’t catch up with the good times. If she had awakened her memory a few years earlier, she would have hoarded houses and gold long ago.
It is now at a historical high, and she doesn't dare to make a move even if she has money.
Not only did I not buy it myself, I also had to persuade my cousin not to buy it.
Otherwise, if he comes back with a big price reduction, my cousin will definitely be choked up.
So what did she come to buy today?
The answer is camera and film.
