Chapter 4242. Haishi Sign-in
Gradually, Shi Liu saw the old policeman's face change, and she quickly hung up the phone. Phone bills were very expensive now, and she couldn't take advantage of the public. Since she had promised to buy something for her mother, she couldn't break the promise.
Haishi, an important port city in the Blue Jade Kingdom, also boasts a Friendship Store. As a symbol of friendship, the store sells Western imports, such as peanut butter and Hershey's chocolate, as well as Blue Jade Kingdom handicrafts.
Shi Liu was not interested in the peanut butter and chocolate, but she heard that the goods included uncensored Western publications such as the New York Times. Unfortunately, the Friendship Store only accepted foreign exchange coupons as currency, so she could only feast her eyes on them like everyone else.
[Found the sign-in location at Friendship Shopping Mall, do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in?]
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully, and receiving 10 Hershey chocolates and 3 Edelweiss amber watches]
Shi Liu smiled happily as she looked at the watches and chocolates in her space. Although she didn't have foreign exchange coupons, she had the sign-in system. She could exchange these things for just one sign-in point. It was simply too much value. Not to mention the chocolates, a single Edelweiss amber watch alone would cost eight or nine hundred, or even a thousand yuan. This was more than she could earn from signing in ten times at the supply and marketing cooperative. After all, Lin City was still far away.
She has already collected two of the world's top ten famous watches. If possible, she would like to collect them all, especially the Earl's watches, which are luxurious and beautiful. In her previous life, she also liked their jewelry very much. Unfortunately, there is no place to buy it now. However, she plans to come and sign in more often, maybe she can get some unexpected gains.
So, Shi Liu started to wander around Hai City in her spare time. The police had been arresting people everywhere recently, and anyone with a brain wouldn't dare to do anything rash at this time, so she was extremely happy to stroll around accompanied by Shi San Ge.
Compared to Shi Liu's calm demeanor, Shi San Ge was really like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. He kept making noises all the way and never stopped, making Shi Liu so angry that she wanted to throw him back.
"Oh my god, this is the small house where the capitalists used to live!"
"Wow, this is the legendary Siheyuan. When will we be able to build one like this?"
"Oh my god, this is the little dress that rich girls wear. It's really pretty, but the girl isn't as pretty as my older sister."
…
Except for the first day, when Shi Liu was still not used to it, she had learned to automatically filter out Shi Sange's exclamation. In fact, Shi Liu was also full of amazement about this city, but she was amazed by what she gained from each check-in.
Shi Liu's successful escape from the traffickers was a blessing in disguise, as his account was directly increased by 27 merit points and 81 sign-in points. It was this unexpected sign-in point that made Shi Liu happily sign over more than ten old houses.
Perhaps the people of Lanyu Country all have a little hobby of treasure hunting in their bones. Every small villa with a bit of history becomes a check-in place. After checking in at 1 o'clock, the rewards can be as little as a gold brick or as much as boxes of jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc. In the past few days, Shi Liu has thoroughly experienced the luxury of Shanghai.
"Sister, can we not visit the old houses?" He felt it was fresh when he first saw them, but after seeing so many in a row, he was already aesthetically fatigued.
"Sure." The truth was, every old house she'd set her eyes on had already been checked in. "I've heard that many wealthy people go to the old tailor in the west of the city to make clothes. I'm planning to go there and make something for Mom. Third brother, do you want to make something for Sister-in-law, too?"
Brother Shi San smiled awkwardly: "No need." Big sister, not everyone has money in their pocket.
Brother Shi San didn't tell the truth, and Shi Liu didn't expect this. After all, Brother Shi San was already in his twenties, so how could she have thought that he didn't have much money? In modern times, a primary school student in his teens would have at least twenty or thirty yuan. Of course, her old man believed in "raise sons poorly and daughters well", so Shi Liu had more pocket money.
Shi Liu came to the old tailor with familiarity and said, "Master, this blue-gray Zhongshan suit is suitable for women. I'm about 163cm tall and weigh 100kg. I don't have the specific data here. I wonder if you can make it?"
"Sure, but it might not fit perfectly." Many people, like the little girl, had their data provided to them for clothing, and the old craftsman was used to it. "Girl, the clothes you ordered last time are already made. Try them to see if they fit. If not, I can make some changes."
"Okay." Shi Liu took the clothes happily.
Brother Shi San looked at the clothes in the eldest sister's hand with a look of surprise: "Eldest sister, when did you come here?"
Shi Liu said narrowly, "When you were studying hard the other day."
Upon hearing this, Third Brother Shi's face immediately turned red. Even though the eldest sister had the opportunity, she did not forget her biological brother. Unfortunately, he was a loser. He was scolded by Master Su in the teaching space and his skills were mediocre. He was not worthy of the eldest sister's efforts.
"Third brother will definitely work hard in the future. Just wait for the buns he makes."
You can't tell that the third brother is so motivated. Shi Liu thinks that she can talk to Master Su about giving him some more money. Her vision is pretty good. Master Su has said that the third brother's talent far exceeds hers.
Everyone loves beauty. Lan Yuguo also sparked a cheongsam craze in the 1920s. Unfortunately, cheongsams are now considered "four olds," and many radical thinkers view them as "feudal dregs" and "bourgeois sentiment." Most of the women who dare to wear them now are from Hong Kong.
Nowadays, the most popular thing in Hai City is the bragi that came from Huangju Country. Shi Liu took a look at it and felt that the so-called bragi is actually what later generations call a dress. There is really nothing much to say about it.
However, she unexpectedly discovered many classic styles of dresses at the old tailor's place, with doll collars, puff sleeves, lace, etc. Shi Liu was so happy that she immediately ordered three braids.
Third Brother Shi looked at Shi Liu, who had changed her clothes, and exclaimed, "Big sister, you look really good in this skirt. But, big sister, aren't you cold wearing a skirt right now?"
Shi Liu took a deep breath and said, "This is for next summer. My figure is basically set now, so I don't have to worry about not being able to wear it next year after buying it." The most important thing is that the classic style will still be fashionable even after thirty years.
"Big sister, you..."
"Third brother, can we be quick?"
"Ahem, I just want to ask where you bought the cloth? If there is any extra, we can take it home and share it with other relatives, and then we can earn some hard work fees." After the third brother Shi came out, he felt that his eldest sister was quite powerful.
Shi Liu gasped in shock. She thought her third brother just wanted to make a bra for his wife, but she never expected that he actually wanted to be a profiteer. This was a life-threatening matter.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
