Chapter 114
After checking out, they came out of Wal-Mart with a large bag of stuff in their hands, during which Julia explained to them the difference between "silver tickets" and "credit cards", and "money" and "banks".
"Are you going back?" Yinxiang asked.
"It's not done yet." Julia said, "Now we have to buy clothes." ”
"Don't you have clothes to wear?" Yin Zhen said, "What are you spending this money for!" Don't waste it! ”
Julia disagreed: "Anyway, there has to be a replacement, right?" Besides, these are too bad on you, you are all picking up people's clothes in the villa area. As the saying goes, people want to be clothed, Buddha wants gold, and you should buy some good clothes. ”
It just so happened that Wal-Mart was on the first floor of a large shopping mall, and she took a few of them upstairs to the men's clothing section, where they each added a decent coat and a pair of leather shoes.
This time, Julia didn't dare to be in the supermarket just now, as they chose. First, the clothes here are not as good as the stalls, they are regular brands, although they are not poor, but they can't buy the wrong one and throw it in the garbage bin when they go home; Second, she couldn't believe the aesthetics of these few, especially when Brother Ten picked a green coat.
"What about cucumbers?" Julia glared at him, "Ugly! ”
"What's ugly?" Brother Ten was still unconvinced, "Isn't this quite bright?" ”
"Please, take it off." Julia pleaded, "Look at all the salesmen in this hallway!" ”
Not only the ten elder brothers, but the other elder brothers also choose clothes of all kinds of strange colors, not as yellow as a banana. It's purple like a grape, or it's red like a jujube...... One stop there, a row of traffic lights.
Julia was convinced of them, and in the end she decided to temporarily adopt an "iron-blooded dictatorship" clothing purchase policy: she designated the first set of new clothes for them to buy today, and no one was allowed to protest.
The ones she chose for them were all dark: dark gray, light black, navy blue. The shirt inside is simply uniform in white.
The leather shoes on her feet are all black, and even the socks Julia has to be "controlled" and she is not allowed to buy white socks. Because they are dressed like donkey's hooves.
Only the tie. It can be relaxed a little, golden jujube red or dark blue can be, mainly twill or solid color.
But on the emerald green background that Yinxiang likes, it won't work if it's painted with pink octopus aliens.
"It's not pretty." Brother Ten complained. "A body of soap. The same as the black eagle. It's ugly to death! ”
"Are we going to mourn?" Yinxiang was also very depressed, "How can you wear such a black one?" ”
"What funeral? That's normal clothing! Julia pointed at him solemnly, "This is the most solemn of clothes." Black suits are the best, you can't make a mistake anywhere, I'm here to prevent you from going out and being laughed at! ”
"What do modern people think? How to cross the dark? Brother Jiu was depressed and confused, "After three hundred years, everything else has been lost, how can you lose the color?" ”
Even Yinzhen, who has always supported Julia, asked worriedly: "Can't you really buy this?" ”
He had his eye on a bright red tweed coat with twill and silk.
Julia couldn't help but laugh: "Trust me, Ah Zhen, you are super ugly in this dress." If you don't match your temperament, you're not the kind of hippie person, no. ”
"Nonsense." Brother Jiu interrupted her, "Just this color, my starling brother has several horse coats!" ”
Julia hurriedly grabbed his words: "Yes, that's a horse coat, it doesn't matter if you make a colorful horse coat, you wear a bright and colorful modern outfit, red coat, yellow pants and green coat, like splashed paint, it will only be regarded as a Christmas tree!" ”
"These shoes are all plain, not good-looking!" Brother Ten complained, "I said to buy shoes in the supermarket just now, Julia, you refused, how beautiful the shoes are!" Helping high, soft, and thick to the touch! ”
Julia was angry when she heard it: "That's what Lori is wearing, that's not what you are wearing!" You big man, wearing a UGG with a pink embroidered bear on the street, you will be regarded as a pervert! ”
"But how warm and soft it is! How cute that bear is! These black leather shoes don't even have a pattern! ”
"You're a man, your shoes are patterned, how decent!"
"Why can't men's shoes have patterns on them? There is a dragon on my Emperor's shoes! ”
"Your Emperor Ama is the Son of Heaven! He's qualified! Can you wear embroidered dragon shoes? ”
Brother Ten raised his feet: "Then I'll take a step back and embroider a bear, it's always okay, right?" ”
Julia is going crazy! She was so angry that she pointed to Brother Shi's feet: "You just wear it!" That's it! Don't change flowers for them! ”
Brother Ten looked at her and said unconvinced: "Huang Ama doesn't care so much about you......"
Julia had no choice but to persuade them: "I said gentlemen, listen to me today, buy these first, and lay the foundation." Tomorrow I will find some men's clothing magazines for you to read, and when you read more and read more familiar ones, you will understand the aesthetic standards of this world. When you learn how to match, you can buy whatever you like, and when the time comes, even if you dress yourself like Picasso's abstract paintings, I won't talk anymore, okay? ”
Since Julia said it so sincerely, those elder brothers had no choice but to "endure the pain of love" and give up those clothes that could be comparable to tropical fruits.
Brother Jiu still didn't give up, and asked again: "Julia, what if I am willing to spend more money and take care of myself again?" Isn't it possible to wear red and green? ”
"That's not going to work either." Julia said sullenly, "Nowadays, you men wear clothes, mainly depending on the improvement of fabrics, high-end handmade customization or something, the clothes are still this kind of clothes, and they will not turn black and gray into red and green for you, even if you are rich, like Ma Yun, I haven't seen Ma Yun dress up as a big peony flower and go out - you guys, no matter how rich you are, you can add some cufflinks, tie clips or something." It's dead, gold-encrusted diamonds, canary diamond cufflinks, oh, fingers and belly are so little, wear it here, it's the end. The same is true for the richest people. ”
Brother Jiu was very disappointed: "That's it...... What's so nice about this? ”
After settling the bill, everyone was dressed in brand new clothes and looked all of them proud. Radiant, Julia couldn't help but feel overjoyed when she saw it in her eyes.
"It's so pretty! It's so handsome! She praised them one after another, but they were not happy, and when they looked at each other, they all felt very uncomfortable: the modern cloth was much harder and more tangible than the ancient silk and satin, and this stiff and heavy "black cloth" was worn on the body, and it was so tightly tightened that they felt like prisoners.
"So that's a normal old man? Does this not change? Brother Ten also puffed up angrily, "What's wrong with the big peony flower!" Hum. Now the great men of this world. How pathetic! ”
"What we think is ugly, Julia thinks is good; We thought it was good-looking, but Julia thought it was ugly. Yinxiang sighed slightly, "Think so." What Wu Yanzu is. Mostly an ugly bastard. ”
Come out of the mall. Julia was secretly smug, and the tenth elder brother suddenly pointed to the opposite side: "Julia, there are also clothes sellers." Why didn't we just go there and buy it? ”
Julia looked up, and her originally arrogant arrogance suddenly became three points shorter!
It was a Givenchy boutique.
"Ahh I know about this shop. Yinzhen immediately said, "Yes, why don't we go there?" ”
“…… That's too expensive. Julia sullenly said, "We can't afford it." ”
As soon as these words came out, those few were shocked, this is the first time since yesterday and today that Julia has admitted that she also has something she "can't afford"!
"Clothes are expensive there? How expensive is it? Brother Jiu asked.
"A shirt there, to say the least, costs 4,000, and a decent leather bag or shoes, 20,000 or 30,000 can't be beaten." Julia smiled wryly, "The four of you are not as expensive as a pair of shoes from head to toe. ”
The brothers were in an uproar!
"Why is it so expensive!" Yinxiang asked, "What's so good about the things there?" ”
"Good thing ......"
Julia is also worried, how can she explain the term "brand"?
"The clothes there are good brands, famous brands." "It's like...... Ah, that's right, like Ruifuxiang! Clothes are expensive there, right? ”
Yinxiang looked at her inexplicably: "What is Ruifuxiang?" ”
"Huh? How come you don't even know about Ruifuxiang? Julia was surprised, "What about Quanjude?" ”
"I haven't heard of it."
"Where's Tong Ren Tang?!"
"Oh, I know that! It's a medicine seller! Yinxiang said, becoming more and more confused, "What does the pharmacy have to do with selling clothes?" ”
Only then did Julia understand that these so-called "time-honored brands in Beijing", except for one Tongrentang, the rest probably appeared after the Kangxi year.
"Then, Tongrentang's medicine should be several times more expensive than the medicine from other shops, right?" Julia explained, "So ......"
"How so!" Yinxiang immediately denied her, "The price of medicinal materials is the same, how dare it be several times more expensive than others?" That's a life-saving thing, not a hoarded food in a disaster year! Does it dare to raise prices? It's the other way around! If it wants to raise the price casually, I will pick the skin of the boss of Tongrentang! ”
Julia is completely out of order.
"Anyway, the one across the street is called Givenchy. Its clothes are good and expensive. She finally said depressedly, "If I only bring one of you here, then maybe I can take him to Givenchy to dress up, but it would be too extravagant to buy a lot of money for each of you from the inside out, from head to toe, and I would have to take out all the money in Wei Mingyue's passbook." ”
Then she smiled again: "I'm not saying we can't afford it." We still have money, even if it's Givenchy, it doesn't mean that we can't go in. But the situation is still unclear, and you can't spend it all at once, right? Save a hand first. In the future, we can earn it ourselves, and it is not uncommon to use her Wei Mingyue's money! ”
As soon as she said this, all of them fell silent.
After a while, Yinxiang suddenly said, "Wait, sooner or later I will wear the clothes there!" ”
The tenth elder brother also snorted angrily and said, "I want it too!" The clothes there must be better than these, and there must be a lot of embroidery flowers! There are pink bears on the shoes! ”
Everything was purchased, clothes were purchased, and the next thing was to eat.
Julia suggested that she not go back tonight and simply try the fresh food of this world outside. After all, everyone is quite tired, and it will be too tiring to go back to cooking.
"Oooh! Eat meat! I want to eat meat! Brother Ten exclaimed happily.
Brother Jiu was so angry that he didn't even have the strength to scold him.
Yinxiang shook his head: "Tenth brother, apart from eating meat, can you think of something else in your brain?" ”
"What? What's wrong with eating meat?! Brother Ten frowned and stared at him, "If you don't eat meat, let me eat grass!" I'm a cow! ”
Julia couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, go eat meat, find a place with a lot of meat, and ask for large pieces of meat!" ”
Coincidentally, there was a McDonald's opposite, and Julia took them to McDonald's, according to her idea, whether she was suitable or not, it was better to try fast food first.
Unexpectedly, just after entering the restaurant and lining up, Yinzhen suddenly shouted "ah"!
He didn't pay attention to this shout, and he scared those people away! Julia hurriedly rushed over: "What's wrong?!" ”
Yin Zhen's eyes stared straight ahead, Julia followed his gaze, it turned out that he saw Ronald McDonald!
"That wicked man! The wicked man who eats me! Yin Zhen was incoherent, and his face turned blue with fright!
"That's not a wicked man," Julia said with a wry smile, "Ah Zhen, that's just Ronald McDonald!" ”
Yin Zhen pursed his lips and took several steps back, his fingers digging into Julia's arm!
Brother Nine hurriedly asked, "Julia, what happened?" ”
"Before, your fourth brother and I met zombies at a McDonald's, and the two of us almost died that time." Julia whispered, "Your fourth brother is scared by this thing. ”
If it was because of something else, everyone might still laugh at Yinzhen, but when it came to zombies, everyone shuddered!
"Let's go back." Yin Zhen broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and he said vigorously, "Julia, let's not stay here!" I can't sit still just looking at it! ”
Yinxiang persuaded on the side: "Fourth brother, this team is lined up, and you see us." There are no zombies here, don't be afraid if it's okay! ”
Yinzhen refused to listen, he pulled Julia to leave, saying that he would not eat here.
Julia had no choice but to take out three hundred-dollar bills from her purse.
"Ninth Master, you guys just eat here, get the money, it's your turn later, just order whatever you want, don't save me money."
Brother Jiu took the banknote, nodded, and asked, "What about you?" ”
"Your fourth brother and I will find another place to have dinner." Julia explained, "He was so scared that he wouldn't be able to eat even if he was forced to stay here." ”
Then Julia told them to wait in the dining room when they had finished eating. She and Yinzhen will come to them later.
It was easy for Yinzhen to calm down, and Julia took him out of McDonald's, because she was still thinking about the burger, so she grabbed a McDonald's employee who was delivering food and asked, "Where is the nearest KFC?" ”
As soon as she said this, Julia regretted it: Did someone who drove McDonald's ask KFC?
Sure enough, the man was stunned and said coldly: "I don't know." ”
Julia didn't have a path, and stopped a young man who looked like a student passing by: "Excuse me, where is the nearest KFC?" ”
The college student was stunned: "KFC? What is that? ”
Julia is also stunned!
"Haven't heard of it......," the student scratched his head, "you can ask someone again." ”
Next, Julia asked two or three more, and the reply was the same: I don't know what KFC is.
At this time, Julia was surprised: it turned out that there was no KFC in this world! (To be continued......)
