Chapter 13: Shopping with Beautiful Women (Part II)
Located in downtown Delong, Huide Building is a large shopping mall for working-class consumption, with half of the shops on the fourth floor selling gold, jewellery and jade. Chen Tao followed the two to one of the shops called "Love Jewelry".
Today is Sunday, there are a lot of customers, and several female shopping guides in suits are enthusiastically introducing a diamond ring to a couple. In a transparent glass case, various styles of gold bracelets, gold necklaces and diamond rings glistened in the soft light. It makes people feel dazzled.
"Yeon-yeon, why are you here?" a beautiful urban woman in an OL suit walked out of the counter. If you talk about her appearance alone, Liu Yuan is one notch worse than Liu Yan, but the capable and mature femininity that emanates from her makes her more attractive.
"Hey, don't you want to buy jade? Liu Yan said to Chen Tao with a little disgust.
Liu Yuan saw that the person her cousin was talking to was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, wearing ordinary jeans and a t-shirt, with a navy blue cloth bag on his body, his expression was a little restrained, but there was a reassuring power flashing in the depths of his eyes. She has been in the society for so many years, and her level of seeing people is much higher than Liu Yan, this Chen Tao is by no means an ordinary country boy.
"Young man, please, what type do you want to see?" Liu Yuan said softly, pointing to a bean-blue jade bracelet on the counter and said, "This is very suitable for sending to the family, and the price is close to the people, only more than two thousand yuan." Seeing Chen Tao shaking his head, he pointed to the side again, "This is called Bing in our jargon, the cultivation is delicate, the water head is relatively good, you are Yanyan's friend, I will buy you five thousand eight." Seeing that Chen Tao was still frowning, he pointed to a translucent jade bracelet in the middle of the counter, "Ice bracelets are particularly rare, we only have this one in the store, this piece has three points of water, the jade is delicate, the water is moist, and the price is 19,999." ”
Liu Yan didn't speak when she saw that her cousin had introduced so much Chen Tao, and she even more determined that he couldn't afford it, so she said a little impatiently, "Hey, do you still want to buy it?" Don't waste time. My mom told me to be home by three o'clock!"
Chen Tao doesn't know what ice seeds, undergarment seeds, and bean seeds are. He wanted to use jade as the eye of the qi gathering array, because jade not only has its own spiritual energy, but can also gather spiritual energy in the body. Through Liu Yuan's introduction, he found that the more expensive the jade with good water, the more aura it has, but these jade stones are too small, and the larger the eye of the Spirit Gathering Array, the more aura will be stored, and these will not work.
"Sister, you said that these are all good, but they are not suitable for me. Is there such a big one?" Chen Tao spread his hands and gestured to a shape the size of a basketball.
Liu Yan looked at Zhile, "How about you steamed steamed buns in your family, how much does such a big jade cost?"
saw that his cousin made two consecutive words and ridiculed, but the young man in front of him turned a deaf ear, and he didn't even frown. Liu Yuan secretly wondered, this kind of self-cultivation and bearing are not common in ordinary adults. At the same time, she was also a little strange that her cousin was uneducated, and said in a half-joking tone,
"The bigger the jade, the more expensive it is, the main thing is to look at the color and cracks of the water. The kind you're talking about is an ornament, so please come here. ”
Chen Tao followed Liu Yuan to another counter, which was filled with large and small jade ornaments. Chen Tao fell in love with the Guanyin jade carving in the center at a glance. This jade carving is about 60 centimeters wide, about half a meter long, the whole body is light cyan, the carving is Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a mutton fat jade bottle, standing on the lotus throne, smiling. The moist luster of the jade makes the smile a little warmer.
"How much is this?" Chen Tao asked.
"Your eyesight is really good, this one in the ornament is very good. The original price is 70,000, you can buy it for 68,000. ”
Liu Yan was about to say something to ridicule, when she saw Chen Tao reach out and take out a bundle of RMB from the dirty schoolbag.
"Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand...... Sixty thousand, seventy thousand. ”
Chen Tao repeated it seven times, and Liu Yan's eyes here were about to stare into buns!
The counter is full of 70,000 yuan!
Seventy thousand!
For the average person in a small fourth-tier city, this is not a small number!
What's more, Chen Tao has just entered his first year of high school and is only sixteen years old!
Liu Yan opened her mouth wide in horror and looked at Chen Tao like a monster.
Can't afford it yet?
Still poor?
As soon as he made a move, he caught up with his father's salary for one year younger!
How rich is he?
Not only Liu Yan, but also the couple who were buying diamond rings, as well as all the shopping guides present, were all shocked by this country boy who made a lot of money!
Zhao Luyao was a little puzzled, she knew that Chen Tao had a small 80,000 yuan in his pocket, but she didn't expect him to spend 68,000 yuan in one go.
A cashier came over to count the money and issued a receipt, and Liu Yuan handed the receipt to Chen Tao with a smile.
The jade carving was originally packaged in a beautiful wooden box, but Chen Tao didn't want it directly, put the jade carving obliquely into the schoolbag, and pulled the zipper. He said, "I just looked at the jade bracelet of more than 2,000 yuan, and you wiped it for me, so count it as 2,000." Just don't have to look for money anymore."
Liu Yuan smiled even more happily, "No problem! I love to do business with an atmospheric guy like you, this is my business card, and I can come over anytime if I want to buy jade in the future." ”
Chen Tao took the business card, which read, "Deputy Manager of the Sales Department of Love Jewelry, Liu Yuan"
Liu Yuan introduced how to maintain the jade, and a shopping guide handed the brocade box containing the jade bracelet to Chen Tao, and Chen Tao directly stuffed it into Zhao Luyao's hand.
smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, a little heart, don't be polite to me." ”
Zhao Luyao hurriedly said, "Don't, I can't ask for your things." ”
"We're friends!" Chen Tao gently pinched Zhao Luyao's snow-white wrist.
He gave gifts to Zhao Luyao, not only because she cared about herself, but also because she was very kind and a friend worth making.
Zhao Luyao was about to refuse, but Liu Yan was so anxious that she pinched her back, "Are you a second? People are willing to give it to you and keep it! I don't have such an expensive bracelet! This stupid boy is interesting to you, hehe, I can see it!"
"Yanyan, don't talk nonsense" Zhao Luyao lowered her head shyly, peeking at Chen Tao, and it was difficult to hide the joy in her clear eyes. This is the first time she has accepted a gift from the opposite sex, and she is a little apprehensive in her heart, as if she owes Chen Tao something, and at the same time there is a trace of indescribable sweetness.
