Chapter 140 Wedding Rings
The first floor should have glass walls, and the front curved wall was covered with wooden boards, so you couldn't see what was going on inside.
Xingxing saw Lin Wanxia walking around the shop, so she jumped over and looked into the crack of the door.
After looking for a long time, it was pitch black inside and she couldn't see anything. She looked up and asked Lin Wanxia, "What are you looking at?"
"To see if there's any money inside." Lin Wanxia said casually.
Jiang Sinian suddenly coughed twice.
Lin Wanxia thought the cough sounded like a reminder and turned around.
She saw several passers-by stopping to look at her with wary eyes.
Lin Wanxia raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Jiang Sinian said expressionlessly, "Don't joke around."
The passers-by then walked away.
Lin Wanxia realized it belatedly and asked Jiang Sinian: "Did the look in their eyes just now mean that they suspected I was a thief?"
Jiang Sinian shook his head to correct him: "No. They suspected that you were scouts."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
She pinched her waist and retorted: "How could there be such a beautiful robber?"
Jiang Sinian smiled.
The smile was doting.
After this little episode, Lin Wanxia had no interest in shopping. She wanted to find out the situation of this shop.
She called Jiang Sinian and Xingxing and asked about the neighbors of this shop.
One neighbor couldn't explain clearly. They had never seen the door next door open since they moved in.
Another neighbor was a jewelry store.
The owner was entertaining guests.
He held a gold ring and kept selling it.
"It is said that love is stronger than gold, so a gold ring is of course the most suitable. Do you think that gold is strong in the sense of hardness? No, it is strong in the sense of firmness. Whether in peace or war, gold is the most valuable."
"Is it inconvenient to wear a ring for work? Who wears a ring for work? Do you know what it means to wear a ring on your hand?"
"It's not for the sake of looking good! Let me tell you, rings are specially provided for couples in foreign countries. Just like the love locks we lock in Yue Lao Temple, this is also a lock. It's just more convenient than the love lock. The love lock can only be seen by Yue Lao, but this can be seen by everyone when worn on the hand, and then everyone will know that you are a loving couple."
"I really didn't lie to you. My daughter is studying abroad, and she told me everything. She said that this ring needs to be worn by both men and women on each other when they get married, just like the golden hoop of Sun Wukong, it is a constraint and a vow. Wearing it on the ring finger means declaring that you are married and loyal to each other."
"..."
The boss spoke quickly and quietly, and the couple being promoted could hardly get a word in.
The girl was very tempted, but the man who was traveling with her was not very interested.
Apart from rich young men, which man wears a ring?
Besides, most rich young men also wear a ring on their fingers.
Of course, in the end, under the boss's continuous verbal attack, she still paid for it.
The boss collected the money with satisfaction, turned around and saw Lin Wanxia and her family of three, and greeted them with an eager smile.
It was as if Lin Wanxia and her family were lambs to be slaughtered.
Before Lin Wanxia opened her mouth, Jiang Sinian pointed at the backs of the young couple and asked, "Do you still have that ring?"
The boss subconsciously glanced at Xingxing.
Lin Wanxia turned her head to look at Jiang Sinian, a little surprised.
Jiang Sinian was not a person who liked to buy things.
Perhaps because these were men's problems, the boss reacted faster than Lin Wanxia. He quickly turned around and went to the counter, took out the key to open the cupboard, took out a velvet box and placed it on the counter, opening it towards Jiang Sinian, "Yes! What do you think of this? Let me tell you, this is our local gold mine. You've heard of the island city, right? What are the advantages of producing gold locally? First, it's cheap, and second..."
The boss began to talk nonstop again.
Jiang Sinian interrupted him, "I saw that you just took a couple of rings."
The one he showed was a women's ring.
The boss: "..."
His eyes moved between the three of them, and he looked suspicious, but he didn't say anything. He took the velvet box back and took out the rings instead. He stopped nagging and said cheerfully: "This pair of rings weighs 6.2 grams in total and costs 279 yuan in total."
Jiang Sinian lowered his eyes.
He didn't have enough money.
Lin Wanxia didn't look at Jiang Sinian, she picked up the ring on the counter and gestured to her hand, frowning: "Are there any other styles?"
The ring was too plain, just two smooth circles.
The boss wanted to say a few more words, but he saw Lin Wanxia put the ring on her ring finger and flashed it at him, and he swallowed back all the nonsense he wanted to say.
The ring was eclipsed on Lin Wanxia's hand.
It didn't match Lin Wanxia's temperament.
He shook his head: "This is the one for now."
Young people don't recognize wedding rings yet, they recognize three turns and one ring.
Lin Wanxia took off the ring and handed it to the boss, "How about this, I draw a pattern myself, and you help me make a pair, okay?"
The boss was stunned and nodded repeatedly, "Okay!" It
was the first time he heard such a request.
It was also the first time he saw a customer who ordered a ring without talking.
Jiang Sinian wanted to speak, opened his mouth and closed it again.
Lin Wanxia took the opportunity to ask the boss about the next door: "Boss, do you know why the next door is closed?"
The boss shook his head and waved his hands, "I'm not the boss. I'm just a clerk. This is a state-owned store, and I'm just a clerk."
Lin Wanxia was a little surprised.
Looking at his eager attitude when promoting, who would believe him if he said he was not selling it himself?
She had seen many waiters at the counters of state-owned stores these days. Generally, their attitudes were okay, and a few were indifferent.
But the vast majority of them could not compare with the attitudes of individual business owners.
"My name is Shang Yuwei. You can just call me Xiao Shang. As for the next door..." Shang Yuwei seemed to be at a loss for words.
Lin Wanxia hurriedly said, "Brother Shang, it's okay to say it. I just saw that his shop has a good location, and I wanted to find out if it's outside."
Shang Yuwei's expression was even more difficult to describe.
Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian looked at each other, and they were really curious about the next door.
"It's a bit inappropriate for me to say this, but I really don't recommend you to buy this shop. This house is a bit weird!" Shang Yuwei looked like he had a toothache.
"Why?"
Shang Yuwei looked around and saw that there were not many customers at the moment, so he moved two stools and handed them to Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian.
Xingxing didn't sit down, he was playing with the small toys in the corner.
Lin Wanxia was very surprised when she glanced at the toy corner, "Did you make these toys too?"
Shang Yuwei nodded, "I saw many parents bring their children here, but they were called away by the bored children before they could take a closer look. Some of them really wanted to buy something but turned around and left because they were annoyed by their children's crying.
I thought of getting some toys to divert the children's attention so that I could concentrate on introducing things to customers..."
At this point he touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "I'm a talkative person. When I grew up I liked introducing things to others. I worked in several jobs before, but I quit because I found them boring. Now this job is the one I like."
It's a pity that selling gold and silver jewelry is considered a luxury item, and there are not many people coming to the store on weekdays, so there is not much room for me to show off.
Shang Yuwei pointed to the next door and said, "Before I came to this store, I worked next door. My current job was also introduced to me by my previous leader."
