Chapter 18 A man shall be clothed and a horse shall be saddled
On his first stop, John made a beeline for a nearby clothing store.
As the saying goes, people want to be dressed and saddled, and a set of well-made clothes can easily highlight their temperament.
I found a casual clothing store that was not very famous, and he immediately pushed the door in.
"Welcome...... Excuse me, sir, are you here to buy clothes or do you just have a look. The doorbell rang, and the yellow-haired young lady who was sitting and playing with her mobile phone in the store quickly got up and reflexively said a word of welcome.
But when she saw John's appearance, she immediately closed her mouth and changed to a snarky tone. "If you're buying clothes, show us your bills, and I'll make sure you have the means to buy them. If not, please go out. ”
John was immediately angry, and just wanted to curse and then turned to leave, but looked down at his white-washed T-shirt and tattered jeans, and restrained his temper a little.
He shook the money in his hand and said in a low voice, "Look what this is!"
When the yellow-haired lady saw the banknotes, she was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course, sir, you have the right to shop here, but I want to confirm the authenticity of the banknotes in your hand, our small shop can't afford counterfeit banknotes." With that, she glanced at the other clerk. The other party understood and walked silently to the door of the store.
"Oh, if you look down on me, say it, why do you say these things. John panicked when he heard that the money was to be inspected, and he forgot to check whether the money was real or fake. He pretended to be annoyed and prepared to go out with a curse.
These banknotes are watermarked and encoded, and any one of them can be checked by this method. The money spit out of the magic pot in his hand appeared completely out of thin air, and it was impossible to confirm whether it had been found. If the money given is genuine, but it is issued more than 10 years later, then how can he say that he has crossed over? I am afraid that if he says it, he will have to be sent to a mental hospital.
The clerk at the door saw that he wanted to escape, so he immediately ran out of the door and shouted, "Police, police!" and the yellow-haired young lady also quickly stepped forward to catch him.
"Damn!" John cursed in a low voice, and immediately shook off his steps and ran out.
But in the end, it was a step too slow, and the police rushed to the door first. The policeman quickly glanced around and walked into the store, placing his right hand on his waist.
"What's going on!"
He looked around the people in the store and asked in a deep voice, of course, his eyes were mainly staring at John.
In addition to the two clerks in this store, there is only one customer, John. And John was wearing a tattered clothes, and his face was a little panicked, which was obvious.
The clerk quickly explained the situation to the police. After hearing this, the policeman immediately put on a straight face, looked at John, stretched out his hand and said, "Then, this young man, please take out the money and take a look." Of course, I also advise you not to play any tricks. ”
John was also very helpless, so he had to take out the money from his leather bag.
The police took the banknotes and checked them in front of the light, and the 16 banknotes were all genuine, except for the new style. He raised an eyebrow, returned the money to John's phone, raised his hat, nodded at the two clerks, and said, "It's real money, all of them are real money." It's likely that this young man just happened to pick up the money and wanted to buy a new set of clothes. I'm sorry, but I can't handle this kind of thing. ”
After saying that, he patted John on the shoulder again and said, "Okay, young man, since you have found the money, let's enjoy a good meal." Picking up money is entirely a matter of personal luck, so you don't have to be so scared. If you find something valuable, it's better to turn it in. Then he went out the door and went on his patrol.
Inside the store, the two clerks looked at each other awkwardly. Among them, the yellow-haired young lady coughed, walked up to John with a red face, and asked softly, "I'm sorry, this guest, what do you need?" I can pick out affordable clothes for you. And, because of this incident, I can get a 9% discount, what do you think?"
In the face of her inquiry, John wanted to snort coldly and go directly to another store to buy clothes, but thinking that he would definitely receive the same or worse treatment if he went to another store, he chose to stay, after all, there was a discount here, so that the money saved could also be used to buy something.
After thinking about it, he snorted coldly, glanced at the yellow-haired clerk, walked directly to the display case, and picked up his clothes. And the yellow-haired young lady still maintained a stiff professional smile, and it was not until John went to pick out the clothes that she sighed, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and followed with a stiff smile.
During this period, she also recommended several fashionable and cheap clothes to John, but considering the money he had on hand, John chose a set of clothes at the right price, tried them on and decided to buy them.
"Okay, it's 90 yuan in total, and 81 yuan after a nine-percent discount. Seeing that he had finally chosen a set of clothes, the yellow-haired young lady immediately wrapped the clothes and put them in a paper bag.
John also took out 8 brand-new 10 bills directly from his wallet, and took out a crumpled 1 yuan bill from his trouser pocket and handed it to the clerk. After the clerk handed him the receipt, he went straight back to his apartment with the paper bag.
Originally, he planned to go shopping at the mall directly after buying clothes, but this experience of buying clothes made him very unhappy. Just because he was wearing shabby clothes, he turned around and left and called the police. If you go shopping at the mall after buying clothes, you must not be immediately seized by the security guards. The reason must be that he is dressed in tatters, and he must be the reason that he has no money to buy clothes!
However, he still has to go to the mall to shop, after all, it is not easy to have such a large amount of money, how can he not go out and wander for a while! Of course, before that, he has to change his clothes.
Back at the apartment, he immediately took a cold shower, wiped himself with the little soap he had left, and then changed into his new clothes, including the shoes under his feet.
With that done, he strode towards his nearest mall.
Walking to the door of the mall, he specially put his steps full, intending to see the attitude of the two security guards at the door. The two security guards also noticed John, who had slowed down deliberately, looked him up and down, did not speak, and let him in directly.
When John entered the mall, he snorted coldly, rolled his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and walked around the mall.
Sure enough, as long as you dress appropriately, no one cares!
Standing on the second-floor platform, he leaned on the glass railing and looked in the direction of the gate and sighed.
After walking around the mall for more than an hour, he came to the supermarket located at the bottom of the mall.
The supermarket was filled with all kinds of goods, and John picked up one at random and looked up at the price.
I'll go, a dollar! I'll buy two bags of white bread!
He hurriedly put the glass jar in his hand back on the shelf, for fear that it would be broken. However, when he wiped his hands on his pants, he touched his wallet and immediately became angry.
No, I still have 80 yuan on me, what is this dollar! The magic pot at home can also keep spitting out money, and one day directly buy a house down! Add a sports car, and at that time you can have a pool party at home every day!
Thinking of the beautiful life in the future, John couldn't help licking his lips and put the glass jar just now in his shopping basket.
Hey, that's probably the trouble of the rich!
Looking at the large number of items in the shopping basket, he pouted. Just now he took a bunch of items, most of which were simply unnecessary, like high-grade honey, high-grade jam. He usually eats bread dry, never with jam. However, now that you have money, it's completely different, you can buy the highest grade jam, whether it's useful or not, just buy it. When it came time to check out, the price soared to 50 yuan, and most of the money on his body was spent at once.
Out of the mall, he also went to buy a McDonald's as his own set meal. Of course, as dinner, he certainly couldn't treat himself badly, and after ordering a Big Mac set meal, he ordered a whole bunch of other food items, which cost almost 15 yuan.
After doing this, he returned to the apartment with his large bag and small bag.
As for buying so many things, why don't you take a taxi? That's because his pride is at odds, he's now in a fashionable outfit, and if he takes a taxi to that garbage-like apartment, what will the driver think of him? Maybe he won't let him get into the car at all, after all, how can people who live in that kind of apartment have the money to take a taxi, and they worry about their livelihood every day!
Back at the apartment, the first thing John did was put his things on the floor, then ran to his bedroom to check if his magic pot was still there. After all, the magic pot is the key, as long as you have the magic pot, you can get unlimited money! If there is no magic pot, then the future life he fantasizes about is a fantasy after all.
When he came to the bedroom, he quickly took out something wrapped in clothes from under the bed, and opened the clothes carefully, and inside was the pot of greed.
John kissed the pot a few times, then wrapped it up again and placed it under the bed. The money he needs today is enough, and the things he should buy are almost enough, and he needs to spit out the money from the magic pot.
After doing all this, he returned to the living room, took out all the fast food boxes of McDonald's, and feasted on them. After eating, he washed up casually, and then he fell asleep directly on the bed.
Under the bed, the body of the teapot wrapped in layers of clothes emitted a burst of red light, but then the red light disappeared.
Under the bed, John, who had fallen asleep, suddenly rolled over, stretched out his hands and waved them in the air, trying to grab something, and muttered a few dream words in his mouth, but then, he turned over again and fell into a deeper dream......
