Chapter 230 Yiwu (3)
"Come, drink some water and take a break. Don't be so anxious!" Lin Zhou unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Tian Xin. He took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from her forehead. He looked at her lovingly and said, "The market is so big. It won't be completed in a day or two. You have to pay attention to whether your body can handle it. Don't be so anxious!"
"Yeah!" Linglan followed suit, "After all, what you're talking about is currently a scarce item, so it's normal that no one has heard of it. But how can you be so sure that Yiwu will have this style of clothing?"
Tian Xin took the water from Lin Zhou and took a few gulps, then sat down on a chair in the center of the first floor of the mall, breathing heavily and looking at the two of them.
This was the second day in Yiwu. Early in the morning, the three of them had already run around the mall, which is known as "Yiwu's largest women's clothing wholesale market," looking for clothes in what Tian Xin called the "new Chinese style."
However, to no avail. After hearing her description, hundreds of merchants in the building all shook their heads and said, "I've never heard of it!"
"forum!"
After catching her breath, Tian Xin said quietly, "I saw it on the forum! Someone appeared on the streets of Yiwu wearing this kind of clothes, and they turned heads!"
"You believe this too?"
Linglan sat down next to her, looked at the staff in the store next to her who were busy packing, and said with a smile: "People on the Internet don't know each other, so how can you tell if it's real or fake?"
"Don't worry about whether it's true or not, where are we going now?"
Tian Xin glanced at the time. It was only 11 o'clock. It was still a little early for dinner, and if she squeezed in, she could still go to another restaurant.
Linglan seemed to not want to move anymore. She sat on the chair, rubbing her sore legs and smiled at her: "It's really good to be young. I ran all morning and you didn't even complain of being tired! I can't run anymore!"
Are you kidding? If I hadn't been running up and down the village for years, how could I not be tired? I trained my legs just for today!
Tian Xin laughed inwardly, looked down at Linglan and said, "Sister, I see you are tired too. Why don't you rest here, or let Lin Zhou take you back. Lin Zhou and I can go the rest of the way!"
"How can that be? I agreed to look for it with you guys! What if I ran away halfway?" Linglan stretched out her hand to Tian Xin, seeming reluctant to admit that she was physically weak. She stubbornly said, "Help me up, I can still...!"
Before she could even utter the word "run," Tian Xin offered her a hand and she sat down again, waving her hands and shouting, "No, no, my feet can't touch the ground, it hurts!"
Sometimes it’s really impossible for people to refuse to accept their old age!
Tian Xin smiled and said: "I'll just take you back!"
It was almost 12 o'clock when the two of them dropped Linglan off at her doorstep. They hurriedly found a place to eat a few bites of food and then rushed to the next shopping mall.
This mall is not as crowded as the one in the morning, and it is not entirely about wholesale business. Some high-end products are also sold in retail.
As soon as she entered the main entrance, Tian Xin felt as if she were visiting a large market. The entire first floor of this mall was filled with stalls selling goods. Each stall was tightly packed with shelves, overflowing with merchandise of all kinds, and the cries of hawkers echoed incessantly.
Some shop owners simply dumped the clothes onto makeshift wooden tables, piling them up like small mountains. A sign next to them read: Clearance Sale, 5 Yuan a piece!
The shop owner stood on a chair, holding a loud speaker, and shouted: "Don't miss it if you pass by, we're selling everything, clearance sale, nothing left. If you buy, you'll make a profit, come on, come and take a look!"
The entire first floor was filled with this kind of sound. Small business owners who came to wholesale clothes were carrying bags and pulling carts, squeezing back and forth in front of the piles of clothes, skillfully selecting the styles they liked.
There were also some people waiting for space, waiting for a seat to open up. As soon as the first person paid and left, someone else would take their place and continue rummaging through the pile of clothes.
Tian Xin held Lin Zhou's hand as they shuttled between the various bunks on the first floor, squeezed so tightly by the crowd that they could barely turn around. After finally finding the elevator, Lin Zhou frowned and stared for a long time before suddenly bursting out in laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Tian Xin turned and looked over, following Lin Zhou's gaze, her face full of confusion: "What's so funny about this?"
"Didn't what he said sound familiar?" Lin Zhou glanced at her, raised his chin towards the shop owner.
"Don't miss it if you pass by. You'll make a profit if you buy it!" He repeated it again, laughing tremblingly.
"Are you laughing at me?"
Tian Xin looked at him with a smile, her voice questioning. Although her face remained unchanged, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
She was familiar with this kind of hawking, and as a means of attracting business, she never thought there was anything wrong with it. She also didn't feel ashamed or embarrassed about it.
But when Lin Zhou repeated it in front of her just now, his expression and tone suddenly made her feel very ashamed.
"No, what are you thinking!"
Lin Zhou sensed something was wrong with her tone and immediately stopped laughing. He hurriedly explained, "I just remembered the first time I met you, you grabbed that yellow-haired guy and asked him to help you shout. I just thought it was funny, don't think too much about it!"
After saying that, he held Tian Xin's face in his hands, looked at her deeply and smiled: "What's wrong with you these past two days? Why... do you always misinterpret what I mean? Now I... don't dare to speak!"
"That's good!" Tian Xin took his hand off his face and smiled faintly: "Do whatever you want! I didn't say anything."
“…”
The elevator in the mall was always crowded. Lin Zhou held her in his arms and whispered something in her ear. When they got out of the elevator, the atmosphere returned to normal.
Tian Xin glanced at Lin Zhou with a smile and said jokingly, "You've never seen such a scene before, have you?"
"We'll see it today, won't we?" Lin Zhou said, "It's really quite eye-opening. I used to think the most crowded place was East Street, but compared to this, it's nothing!"
"East Street? Are you kidding me?"
Tian Xin was stunned for a second, and her expression suddenly became speechless: "The most crowded place in the ancient city is not East Street! You've probably never been to Kangfu Road! That's it!"
After saying that, she smiled self-deprecatingly and walked straight into a store.
Lin Zhou was still thinking about what she had just said, repeating the three words "Kangfu Road" in his mouth for a long time. When he came to his senses, he found that Tian Xin was no longer there, so he hurried to catch up.
The second floor is full of high-quality women's clothing, covering all the elements of the current fashion. The first time Tian Xin walked in, she was attracted by the style of this store.
This is a store that specializes in cheongsams. Walking through the door is a long and narrow passage with various cheongsams hanging on the walls on both sides of the passage.
Walking in and turning a corner, you will find a spacious hall. Like any other store, in addition to the mannequins, display windows, and various display racks, there is also a small table inside the hall that resembles an operating room.
A middle-aged woman wearing a green lace cheongsam is sitting in front of a sewing machine, making clothes seriously.
Tian Xin looked up and saw the store's brand logo hanging on the wall in the middle of the hall, with three words written on it: Master Mo.
