Chapter 125 Shopping 2
It was not until Zhang Wei and the other three had drunk their hot milk that the others finally arrived. Foreigners really love to be late.
After everyone arrived, Zhang Wei looked at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock. She felt that shopping could only start in the afternoon.
Sure enough, Butch suggested that they have lunch first and then go shopping for clothes. As a result, they didn't leave the cafe until almost twelve o'clock because there were too many people and they couldn't agree on where to eat.
Zhang Wei was getting tired of waiting: "How about this, there are so many of us, those who want to go can go together, and those who don't want to go can go to other stores."
Everyone immediately raised their hands to vote: "Agree", "Agree", "Agree"
Since it was a rare opportunity to get out, Zhang Wei still wanted to eat something delicious. Although she really missed Chinese food, the taste of Chinese food in the UK was really appalling.
So she settled for the next best thing and decided to go to that Indian restaurant again.
When Butch and the others were discussing going to eat French food, she asked Alia:
"How about going to that Indian restaurant where we met before?"
Alia's eyes lit up immediately and she nodded in agreement.
As a result, when Zhang Wei thought that only she and Alia were going, Tracy heard that Zhang Wei and the others were going to an Indian restaurant, and she also expressed her desire to go together. Of course, Hayat and the others also followed.
So Zhang Wei's side suddenly became a large group, and the remaining few people went to eat French food with Butch.
Tracy originally planned to ask the driver to pick them up, but Zhang Wei thought the distance was not too far, so they all took a taxi together to go faster. It took three taxis to load them all away.
There are still many foreign restaurants in London. After all, British cuisine is quite limited. There are also quite a few Indian restaurants. Zhang Wei feels that if Chinese restaurants make fewer modifications and serve more authentic food, more people will eat there.
"Are the dishes here very different from what you eat at home?" Zhang Wei asked Alia.
Alia shook her head. "It's a little different, but not a huge difference. The overall taste is pretty much the same."
However, it seems that Tracy doesn't like it very much. The dish is quite strong in both appearance and taste. However, Zhang Wei felt that this time it was not as amazing as the last time. She wondered if it was because she had been eating well recently, so it didn't taste as good as before.
To be honest, the food in the Zhuoyue Building of the dormitory tastes pretty good. First of all, the ingredients are really diverse and fresh. Most of them are cooked in a relatively simple way without adding sugar or cheese. The meat, vegetables and fruits are well matched, which is healthier than what Zhang Wei ate in Country A.
Indian food has no presentation at all. Every dish is just a pot of mush. Except for the meat which can be seen in its original appearance, everything else looks the same. Even the vegetable soup is a pot of yellow mush. There is no green at all. No wonder Tracy has no appetite.
Only Zhang Wei and Alia ate more, and Zhang Wei also decided not to come here to eat again recently because she got tired of it the second time.
In the end, they paid AA. The waiters here seemed to be used to collecting payment from each person. That was fine, as we were all students and no one had to pay the most.
After dinner, they finally got back to the main topic and went shopping for clothes.
They returned to Brick Lane together, where the architecture and shop decoration styles all exuded the atmosphere of the 1970s and 1980s.
This street looked like a retro market, with many small shops displaying gaudy items in their windows. Zhang Wei felt a chill when she imagined any of them wearing those clothes.
Whether it is the tall Queenie or the thinner Butch, they have not completely gotten rid of their childish appearance, and the clothes here are all adult clothes. You can imagine what a disaster it would be to wear them.
Also, although I know that all the clothes sold here are vintage and its name sounds nice, many of the clothes do look very old, and it is difficult to tell from the outside that no one has worn them.
In this way, they walked from the beginning of the street to the end, and this group of well-dressed girls became the focus of others' attention.
"I also heard about it from other people. I didn't know the clothes here were like this." Butch's face didn't look very good either.
Queenie suggested, "Why don't we go in and have a look? Maybe there's something suitable in there?"
"There are so many of us here, let's find the biggest store and take a look!" Zhang Wei thought it wouldn't be a waste of time. As the Chinese saying goes: Since we're here...
So they returned to the largest shop in the middle. The owner was a middle-aged woman dressed like a gypsy girl. She was very enthusiastic:
"Girls, how can I help you?"
"Well, we want to find some retro-style clothes that suit us." Queenie said as the representative.
"Everyone?"
"Yes, everyone!"
"Oh, this is really a big business!" the boss shouted inside:
"Jamie, close the door and hang up the break sign. We will serve these ladies exclusively from now on!"
If there weren't so many of them, Zhang Wei would definitely run to the door, but Zhang Wei still retreated to the door. She felt relieved when she saw that the clerk only left the door ajar and didn't lock it.
When she looked up, she met Tracy's gaze. Zhang Wei didn't know whether she understood what she meant to her. She shook her head at her and looked at the clothes in the store.
This store has a very complete range of items, including clothes, shoes, and bags, but the colors are basically relatively strong, either black or bright colors with high saturation.
There is a small polka-dot dress with a black background, matched with a leather belt and necklace. Zhang Wei thinks it looks a bit like the style of Audrey Tautou, the protagonist of "Emily", with a bit of cuteness and cool sexiness. The dress is a tube top. She thinks she might give it a try when she is a few years older, but forget it now.
When she turned around to look at everyone, several people had already gone to the changing room to change clothes under the owner's eloquent recommendation. Now the owner was giving Tracy a crazy lecture, and she only raised her chin slightly, as if she was listening, but also as if she was empty-headed.
Alia walked to Zhang Wei and whispered:
"I probably won't be able to go to the masquerade. If I bring these clothes home and my dad sees them, I won't be able to enter the house!"
Zhang Wei looked at her in surprise. She touched the scarf on her head and continued:
"I didn't want to wear a dupatta today. My dad didn't agree."
No wonder Zhang Wei looked a little strange. She was clearly wearing an ordinary tube skirt and jacket, but she even had an Indian scarf on her head. I thought she was doing it because of some kind of belief.
The next moment, when her roommate, who had been changing in the locker room, came out wearing new clothes, Zhang Wei felt that it would be better not to go to the masquerade party.
