The gate of the Patta Mall. "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." Li Beixing quickly walked to Chen Jingle and smiled apologetically.
Today, she wore a beige long skirt, a light blue cardigan, and a beige bag on her shoulders.
It's still a simple and ladylike outfit.
To put it bluntly, people look good, no matter how you wear it.
Chen Jingle waved his hand and said, "No, I just arrived too. Finally, there was one time before you, otherwise you would arrive first every time, which made me very embarrassed."
Li Beixing pursed his lips: "No, didn't you arrive earlier than me before? In fact, as long as you weren't late for too long, it doesn't matter if it's a little earlier or later. Don't make stereotypes, you must first and second."
"I feel so too."
Chen Jingle chuckled and said, "Let's go in first, it's a little hot outside."
Although Jiangbei at the end of October is a bit cool in the morning and evening, when it comes to the good weather like today, it still requires a fan or air conditioner.
For Chen Jingle, this temperature is not high or low, and it is the most comfortable to wear short sleeves.
The two then walked in.
Chen Jingle asked with a smile: "It's time to give full play to your shopping advantages. What's the arrangement?"
Li Beixing thought for a while, looked at Zhou Moufu's jewelry counter not far away, and said, "Let's go to the jewelry counter to buy the silver bracelet first. How about it? This one is small in size and it won't affect holding it."
"Okay!" Chen Jingle had no objection.
Zhou Moufu's teller guide saw them coming over and asked with a smile: "What do you guys need?"
Li Beixing asked: "Do you have any silver bracelets for a full-month baby?"
"Some, some." The shopping guide hurriedly signaled them to the other side, "These are all, you can see if you like them first."
Chen Jingle looked carefully and found that there were quite a lot of styles, which was a bit dazzling.
Li Beixing glanced around and tapped his slender fingers: "This, this, and this, please take it out and let us see."
"Okay."
The shopping guide took out the three styles that Li Beixing liked.
Li Beixing held it in his hand, looked at the details and asked Chen Jingle: "What do you think? Which one is better?"
Chen Jingle looked carefully and nodded and said, "All good. If you want to talk about the problem, you need to consider whether this uneven surface with patterns will cause harm to the delicate skin of the baby. After all, babies are not as good as adults. So I prefer this one with only simple patterns."
Li Beixing nodded slightly, and she also prefers this one, and it seems that everyone's aesthetic tastes are the same.
The shopping guide next to him quickly said: "This gentleman is very considerate, but don't worry, our styles are carefully designed, and the situation you said will not happen. Of course, if you are really worried, this simple style is also a good choice. Whether it is given to someone or worn by two of your own children, it is a very good choice."
Own your own child?
Li Beixing couldn't help but his ears turned red when he heard this.
Chen Jingle was a little embarrassed and his eyes were slackened.
The shopping guide seemed to realize something, and was a little surprised.
The two handsome men and beauties in front of us, although the man is wearing a mask, it should be quite good in terms of temperament. Not to mention the beauty, she has excellent appearance and temperament, and she looks very compatible.
Didn't it be together yet?
But it seems that it shouldn't be far away.
After all, the shopping guide understood it immediately and subconsciously smiled at his aunt.
Li Beixing spoke up and broke the embarrassment: "Please help me take out the other simple models."
"Okay."
Simple and simple are good. Although the shape looks much more ordinary, if you look closely, you will feel that it is better than the two patterns just now.
Li Beixing likes simple style, just look at her daily outfits.
They all seem to be very good, which one should I choose?
She was a little confused and looked at Chen Jingle. "Why not this one?" Chen Jingle said, pointing to the one with a cute dragon head engraved on it and said, "Simple and cute, this year is the Year of the Dragon."
This one was also the first to be seen by Li Beixing.
The shopping guide smiled and said, "Both have good eyesight. Our auspicious and cute dragon has at least the top three in the sales volume of so many baby silver jewelry at the counter."
Li Beixing nodded, looked at the price of the label, and asked Chen Jingle: "What about the price? Can it be accepted?"
Chen Jingle glanced at it and nodded and said, "The current price of 999 silver is 7.5 per gram, plus the handicraft fee and brand premium, which is not outrageous."
"That's it." Li Beixing narrowed his eyes with a smile, "By the way, do you want to buy a long life lock?"
Chen Jingle thought for a while and shook his head: "It seems that there is no such custom over there."
"Then let's change to something else."
Li Beixing looked at him and saw a good-shaped golden gourd next to him. His eyes lit up and he stretched out his finger: "How is this golden gourd?"
The shopping guide smiled and said, "The gourd means both good fortune and wealth, which is also good."
Chen Jingle nodded and shook his head and said, "It's good, but giving gifts is too expensive, which is also a burden for others. After all, the gifts you receive now will be paid back in the future. My relatives are all ordinary people, not rich and noble families. This kind of gift is a bit expensive for them."
He has considered this issue before.
With his relationship with his cousin Liu Guanghai, he is willing to give it to him. The problem is that you have to consider the feelings of the recipient and even other relatives who give gifts.
Things that are several thousand large can be called valuables, and many people don’t have this income for a month.
If it were as Li Beixing said, and if you gave such a golden gourd, Liu Guanghai and his wife would be more shocked and more surprised than surprised.
So he decided to give silver jewelry.
In daily life, people have much more acceptance of silver jewelry.
The daily gifts between relatives are different from those between lovers.
If his relatives have similar incomes to him, then there is no problem giving this.
The problem is that it is not, everyone is just ordinary people with average income.
What is an ordinary person?
From Chen Jingle's perspective, everyone spends no more than 2,000 yuan per month on diet, even ordinary people.
For those who exceed 2,000, even if they spend most of their income on eating and drinking, they must have a high enough income.
As Chen Jingle, she is definitely not an ordinary person.
In this case, you, a junior, are you thinking of giving such expensive things?
No wonder some people say that giving gifts is a science.
If you insist on giving it away, it's okay. It's just that your relatives are cricketing behind your back. Then your uncle called and talked to him about life earnestly, and advised him not to spend money, but to consider it for the future. The cousin Guanghai and his wife had to spend several days accepting this fact and wondering what gift to return after his child was born.
trouble!
After saying that, the price of gold is now ridiculously high. Such a golden gourd is at least 8 grams, including labor costs and brand premium...
Chen Jingle took a look at the price, 8888.
It can be considered that why so many people like to go to Shuibei to buy gold and then go to a gold shop to process it.
Although the gold price is already high enough now, the current chaotic international situation may have to rise.
Chen Jingle muttered secretly, "It's time to collect gold in the prosperous times."
Although the domestic market is stable, gold prices follow the international market, and there is a mess outside, so it would be strange if they don’t rise.
Li Beixing thought for a moment: "You are right, but I am not considering it carefully."
In Jiangbei, most of the time, it is just as good as the gift is enough. It is not asking for help, and it rarely gives valuable gifts. This is a place where only 20 yuan is given for the New Year red envelope.
Even for a family like Li Beixing, my mother only gave her a red envelope of 100 yuan on New Year's Eve, which is probably unimaginable for outsiders.
Of course, the pocket money you usually transfer is calculated separately. "Are there any 1 gram golden beans?" Chen Jingle asked the shopping guide.
The shopping guide was a little disappointed when he saw the big order was gone, but after hearing what he said, he nodded quickly: "Some, some."
After saying that, he guided the two of them to the other side.
Chen Jingle smiled and said to Li Beixing: "Give one of the small golden beans, and the pressure to receive gifts is not that great. Just take a good intention."
Li Beixing immediately became interested.
The golden beans are all 1 gram, with various shapes, including peanuts, melon seeds, bananas, gourds, small fish ingots, etc.
She asked, "How much does this cost?"
The newest ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
The shopping guide said: "688 per piece, the price is the same."
This price is within the acceptable range of ordinary people. Currently, the domestic gold price is 620 per gram, and the processing fee is definitely needed for the brand premium. There is no way to do this. Compared with the silver bracelet just now, the processing fee is much less.
It is acceptable for Chen Jingle, as long as the quality is guaranteed. "Which one do you think looks good?" he asked Li Beixing.
Li Beixing looked around and smiled, "I still like the little gourd more."
Chen Jingle nodded: "Then it's the gourd. Please help me get one, thank you."
"Okay, please wait." The shopping guide helped to take out the small golden gourd they liked and pack it in a gift box.
Chen Jingle looked at it and found that the thing was unique in shape and the color was pleasing. No wonder many people on the Internet like to buy gold beans as investment.
If I started buying from more than 200 yuan per gram in 2018 and insisted on buying it until now, I would really make a profit.
When the war started outside, he expected that the gold price would rise, but he didn't expect it to rise so much. But at that time, I needed money to build a house and decorate my home, so I didn’t invest in gold.
A friend bought two kilograms of gold when the price of gold was almost 300, and now he should be smiling.
Chen Jingle thinks it is difficult for poor people to become rich people. The biggest problem is the cost of trial and error. Even if there is a good and confident opportunity in front of you, as long as the cost is too high, you will not dare to take risks.
Because high costs are a risk in itself.
…
A silver bracelet and a gold bean, a total of 1,018 yuan was spent.
Seeing that he successfully picked a good gift, Li Beixing was happier than Chen Jingle.
Chen Jingle glanced at the counter, but stopped talking.
Actually, he wanted to give Li Beixing a piece of jewelry, but then he thought, would it be too presumptuous to give away jewelry?
After all, only those close to each other will give you this.
Especially between the opposite sex, the jewelry is given with some special meaning, whether it is a bracelet or a necklace or earring, let alone a ring.
Think about it, let’s just give up this idea.
"Send something else in the future."
Send something that normal friends of the opposite sex can accept.
"And then it's baby milk powder?" Li Beixing looked at him with a wavy head.
Chen Jingle nodded: "Yeah, go!"
The mother and baby area is in the supermarket on the first floor.
Chen Jingle pushed a small cart. What if there is something else you like to buy? Besides, it’s so big that it’s very tiring to hold it. "What do you two need to order?"
The shopping guide in the mother and baby area saw them stopping and hurried forward to ask.
Chen Jingle waved his hand: "Look first, don't worry. We will take the initiative to consult if necessary."
He likes to watch it himself when he goes to supermarkets, and does not like to be sold.
"Is it imported or domestic?" Li Beixing asked.
Chen Jingle said: "It's good for domestic products."
He has done some homework in advance.
Now is no longer the era when the moon is rounder in foreign countries. Some domestic brands are also worth choosing with high quality and high standards.
It is not that foreign milk powder is of good quality, but that it is allowed to be imported.
The same truth as Hollywood movies.
Hollywood produces countless bad movies every year. The problem is that we don’t import bad movies, which gives some people some illusions, as if all Hollywood produces high-quality products.
It may also be that some stakeholders deliberately promote this.
In fact, it is definitely not, there are many bad movies.
"If it is domestically produced, how about Feihexing Feifan? Or Wandashan? Or Junlebao Youcui? Or Jinlingguancai?"
Li Beixing also did research in advance.
The brands she mentioned are all domestic brands with relatively high sales in the past two years, with good quality and reputation and cost-effectiveness.
There are also high-priced ones, but since Chen Jingle said that giving gifts should not be too valuable, and it is mainly suitable, she will rule out the more expensive ones first.
As for why we need to study these? I can only say that I will use it sooner or later.
Unless she will not get married or have children in the future.
Chen Jingle thought for a while: "Why wouldn't it be Wandashan?"
In fact, these four domestic brands have good reputations. If you insist on choosing one of these three, Chen Jingle thinks Wandashan's reputation should be the best, but its reputation is not that great.
"Then get two cans?"
"Yes, get it!"
"Yes, get it!"
Chen Jingle took two cans of milk powder from the shelves and put them on the cart.
They didn't notice that a fat middle-aged woman not far away was shocked to see this scene, and then she thought of something interesting and showed a gloating expression.
Take out your phone and take a photo quietly.
…
"Aqin, congratulations, you are going to be a grandmother!"
At this time, Jiang Zhiqin, who was cutting flowers at home, heard the WX message prompt and took out her cell phone to take out her phone and took a look.
It was sent by my parents' sister-in-law.
But this seems inexplicable.
She frowned and replied, "Sister Xia, what did you say? Why don't I understand what you mean?"
A photo was sent to the other side, with a sentence: "Don't you know? Your Beixing has started to pick maternal and child supplies. Could it be that she didn't even tell you when she was pregnant, right?"
When Jiang Zhiqin clicked on the photo, she saw that her daughter was standing with a man. Although she only photographed her daughter's side face, her face had a clear smile.
The man only sees his back, which gives people a straight figure.
The key is that the background of the two is in the supermarket's mother and baby area.
"..."
Eijikoto took a deep breath.
