Ling Ran actually understood the southern morning tea habits. Since the little girl was worried that he would make a fool of himself, he just followed her and learned from her.
Put the chopsticks and spoon in the cup, pour in 70% full of tea, shake gently, then take out the chopsticks and spoon, tilt the cup on the bowl surface and rotate it in a circle. After the rim of the cup is scalded, the water will flow into the bowl.
Finally, the water in the bowl was poured into the small basin, and the first brew of tea was gone. The lid of the teapot was turned over, and the waiter immediately came to add boiling water.
Let’s eat!
If Zhou wanted to taste something delicious, he would eat an extra one. If something was not delicious, he would eat the one he had tasted. The remaining two or three in the steamer would belong to Ling Ran.
Ling Ran accepted everything and ate whatever the little girl gave him.
But how do you eat this sweet and salty meatball?
Seeing his frown, Zhou wanted to spit out the meatball in his mouth and laughed silently.
Ling Ran also spat out the meatball in his mouth, picked up the tissue on the table, wiped his mouth, and drank a sip of tea. The bitter tea washed away the sweetness in his mouth.
Seeing that she was still smiling, he reached out and rubbed her head, "Naughty."
Zhou Xiang slapped the hand above his head and said, "Who told you to accept everyone who comes?"
"Yes, yes, my fault."
Put the meatballs aside and slowly eat other foods.
Southern morning tea is all about leisure.
Seeing that he was not full, he called for a cart and said, "Just take care of it yourself!"
Ling Ran ordered lava buns and xiaolongbao, which looked affordable and filling.
Zhou Xiang ordered another serving of rice noodle rolls for him, but he had already finished the previous one, so he didn't get to taste it.
After breakfast, it was already 11 o'clock. The two of them strolled south, asking for directions as they walked.
They passed by a park and took a walk in it. When they came out it was already past one o'clock. They didn't waste any more time and walked straight to Xihu Road.
The night market on Xihu Road has opened, and the shops and stalls are filled with a wide variety of fashionable clothes from the 1980s.
"Pretty girl, come here and take a look. This bat shirt suits you very well!"
A stall owner greeted Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang looked at the pink bat-wing shirt in her hand and shook her head. Even if I turn white, I still hate pink.
However, seeing the bundles of goods beside her stall, Zhou thought for a moment and approached her, "Boss, how much is this bat shirt?"
"15."
"Will you sell it for three bucks? I'll buy it wholesale."
When the boss heard the number three, he wanted to fire the employee. Wasn't he trying to cause trouble?
The last three words made her pause.
"Three dollars won't do! If you really want it, take ten or more and I'll give them to you for five dollars each."
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "Five dollars is too expensive. It's not worth it to take it back. How much are these bell-bottom pants?"
“18.”
"Boss, you're not honest at all! I asked for the wholesale price, and you told me the retail price."
"Take ten or more, eight bucks."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll go ask somewhere else. I want at least 50 pieces. If you're not sincere, I'll change my stall."
"Oh! Don't go! Don't go! Tell me the real price and I'll see if it's worth it."
"A batwing shirt is 3 yuan, bell-bottom pants are 4 yuan, and I want 50 of each in a mix of large, medium and small sizes."
"A total of 100?" the boss raised his voice.
Zhou Xiang nodded.
"Okay, okay, I'll sell you. I'll sell you."
Zhou Xiang: If I sell you, you will be sold!
"20 each of large and medium sizes, and 10 of small sizes."
The boss paused after taking it and said, "It's hard for me to sell it if you do that!"
"It's easy to sell, it's easy to sell. You can tell from our height that we are from the north. The small ones can only be sold to students.
If you bundle ten pieces, isn't that 4 small, 4 medium, and 2 large? Just looking at the assortment, you can tell the small size is suitable for the south!
"Alright, alright! I'll sell you."
Zhou Xiang: Sell you.
Ling Ran didn't say a word the whole time, just watching her bargain. He saw that the boss felt heartbroken because of her bargaining, but he still couldn't bear to let her go as a customer.
After sorting the goods, he tied them into two bags and put them in Ling Ran's hands.
After paying, Zhou Xiang asked, "Boss, who has a parasol and sunglasses for sale?"
"I know this! Walk down this street, and about ten shops apart, and you'll find them selling flip-flop mirrors, electronic watches, and probably parasols, too. Just ask the owner!"
"Okay! By the way, let me ask again, where do those people who sell tiles sell their products?"
"I know that too. The back door. If you go there, you'll see a lot of people displaying samples on triangular wooden stands."
"Thank you, boss! I wish you a prosperous business!"
"Okay! I'll lend you my good wishes!"
Zhou Xiang looked at the things in Ling Ran's hand and said, "Oh no! I bought it too early. It's too tight to hold."
"It's okay! It's just that the bag is slippery and hard to control."
"Wait a minute, and see if you can pay for a snakeskin bag or one of those incoming goods bags."
"good!"
After walking past ten shops, I did see a shop whose wall was full of glasses and electronic watches strung together with ropes.
Seeing the two people walk into the store, the boss greeted them warmly, "Beautiful girl, beautiful boy, are you here to pick up some goods?"
His eyes were still looking at Ling Ran's hand.
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes! What's the price range for sunglasses and digital watches?"
"Ten or more, 8 yuan."
"100 of each, 3 yuan."
The boss laughed and said, "Do you think I'm bargaining for the retail price? 100 pieces of each, 6 yuan."
"Four."
"Five dollars."
"Forget it, I'll change to another one."
"Wait, wait, 4.50."
"Just four."
"Alright! I'll sell it to you!"
Zhou Xiang: Sell you.
These two items are considered delicate things, and Zhou wants to check each one.
Check the electronic watch to see if it is moving.
Check the lens with a toad mirror to see if there are any scratches.
"Boss, many of your electronic watches are low on battery. It would be a waste to throw them away!"
"I'll give you a battery."
"No, I won't dismantle it. Please replace it with a new one. Are you out of stock?"
"Yes, we have stock. How can I sell wholesale if I don't have stock? My electronic watches are also very good. I will give you a battery for each one, okay?"
"No! You must have new products that you're reluctant to give to me. You're trying to trick me with these samples. I don't want them."
"Oh! Pretty girl, don't worry! I'll get you a new one right away."
"Then hurry up and waste my time."
"Right away, right at the back." The boss pushed open the back door of the shop, and behind the back door was the warehouse.
He moved out a box, poured out the electronic watches inside, and checked them one by one.
Only after checking that the batteries were intact and had sufficient power did Zhou Xiang pack them into the box.
After packing the two boxes, Zhou Xiang felt a little helpless. What should he do with them?
"Boss, find me a packaging bag!"
"No, only the box."
"Where can I buy it?"
"It's in the grocery store next door, just go buy it."
Zhou Xiang held the two boxes, and the two of them went next door, bought a large bag for purchasing goods, threw the clothes in, and tied the bag tightly.
I bought another roll of nylon rope and tied the two boxes together. Ling Ran held the bag in one hand and the box in the other. Hmm! Not bad, like a working man!
After asking for the direction of the back door, the two walked towards it.
