Sister Gao Yuanyuan also fell in love with a belt with a very simple pattern on it, saying that it was genuine leather, she was not sure, so she simply asked Okocha to help.

As a result, Okocha took Xi Haiyan to buy a ticket over there, Gao Xi almost forgot about buying a ticket, but fortunately, he told Okocha when he came, and he just treated his family as a member of the tour group, so this ticket naturally had to be bought together.

"I want to buy this belt, well, the buckle is very beautiful, it should be copper, this is very rare." Okocha couldn't come over to help, and Gossi simply called Jinsen.

Gao Xi actually noticed that most of the belt buckles he bought before were iron or steel, and he really hadn't seen copper, maybe because he hadn't worn a good belt, but he hadn't seen it anyway. And the belt buckle of this belt is obviously a carved bronze buckle, which looks very beautiful and classy, and the pattern on it is a galloping horse, not colored, and the color is the same as the belt buckle, but it looks more harmonious and beautiful.

"yes, my sister fancies."

"This is a men's belt, your sister bought it for her husband?" Jinsen asked.

"Yes, I bought it for Zhao Ming, what do you think of the price, she wants thirty US dollars, which is converted into nearly two hundred yuan." Now when the price of a thing in Gaoxi Hengliang is calculated, it is still automatically converted to soft sister coins to calculate, after all, for nearly thirty years, his life is full of soft sister coins, not American knives, and many things can only be measured by soft sister coins, and nothing else is accurate enough.

Jin Sen said with a smile: "This is really not expensive for thirty dollars, just look at the shape and craftsmanship of the mouth, this is handmade, this kind of belt buckle is rare in the United States, and the price is a little more expensive." ”

"What about this skin? Is the leather genuine? Gao Xi touched it a few times, but he couldn't be sure, he thought it should be leather, but he wasn't an expert in this area after all, in case he looked away. Wouldn't that be a fake?

Losing money is a small matter, and losing face in front of a bunch of Chinese tourists is a big deal.

Jinsen took the belt and pinched it, then sniffed it again. Then he said: "That's right, this leather is real, it should still be a good cowhide, you are lucky, if you want to buy gifts for relatives and friends." Just buy this, there are both women's and men's ones, and the price is not expensive, it is estimated that this thing will cost at least six or seven hundred yuan in your country, and you can't buy handmade ones. ”

"How do you judge this leather, I used to buy a pair of leather shoes, saying that they were crocodile skin, and it cost a thousand yuan, but they were pitted, and they really opened their mouths after wearing them for less than a month. The front toes are exposed. "Gao Xi really hates fake things, so he usually chooses a specialty store or a flagship store to buy things, although that kind of thing is more expensive, and it doesn't bargain, but the thing is real, unlike some places, although you buy a bargain, but after you buy it, you regret it, and you are worried.

"This is simple, the so-called look, touch, and smell. Basically, there should be no problem. The dermal lines are generally not too uniform, some places are larger, some places are smaller, and sometimes there are small scars like human skin injuries. Sometimes there are places where it is not even even. The texture of artificial leather is particularly regular, it looks more 'perfect', and the pores and cut surface can also be observed, real leather and artificial leather are very different, this is a look. ”

In addition, the leather is relatively smooth to the touch in a low temperature environment, and there is no cold feeling. Man-made materials have a cold feeling to the touch in a low temperature environment, and the feel is relatively stiff and jerky. Moreover, the elasticity of the leather is better to pull to both sides by hand, and there are differences in the elasticity of some transverse and longitudinal pulls. If the artificial leather is pulled by hand, it has no elastic force, or the elastic force is small, and there is no difference between horizontal and vertical pulling. This is the second touch. ”

"I think you smelled it just now?"

"Yes, that's right, that's three smells."

"Genuine leather smells of animal fat, which is the so-called skin odor, while imitation leather smells of plastic.

Tear off a little fiber from the back of real leather and artificial leather, and after igniting, it is artificial leather that emits a pungent smell and forms pimples; Anything that smells like hair and doesn't have hard bumps is dermis. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Sen looked at the tour group over there, then looked at Gao Xi and said: "Lord Xichang, as long as you master these three judgment skills, then you will generally not go wrong, I still have to go over to greet those people, so I won't say more, just let your family follow." ”

"Okay, you go get busy." With Gao Xi's wisdom today, it is very simple to remember and understand what Jin Sen said, since Jin Sen is busy, then let people be busy, and don't disturb others to do things, that is a good habit.

"Yuanyuan, you have heard it, this is genuine leather, and it is handmade with copper buckles, and the price is not too expensive." Gao Xi said these words in Mandarin, of course, so he was not afraid that the salesperson at the stall would hear it.

"Then buy a few more, buy one for Zhao Ming and his father, and one for our father." When things are cheap, Gao Xi's mother and Gao Xi's sister Gao Yuanyuan will be very excited, they think that they can take advantage of it, so they will buy more.

"Let's buy one more for my brother, well, just five more, one for our brother, one for each of my three roommates, I'll buy one myself, I'll pay for it." Gao Xi is also cheap, he is actually not a person who pursues taste, but the leather belt with handmade brass buckles is really rare, a piece is only thirty dollars, if you don't buy it now, you may not be able to buy it in the future.

Listening to the salesman at this stall, she is helping an old leatherman to sell things, basically a volunteer, this old leatherman is now old, can no longer do these jobs, and the family is not very willing to inherit such skills, so these belts may not be seen in the future, that is definitely not nonsense.

If it weren't for Gao Xi's doubts about the veracity of this story, he would have bought all the brass buckle belts, which were only thirty in total anyway.

Later, Gaucy met the cobbler, but that was much later, and it was then that he really regretted that he had not bought all the belts this time, because when he met the cobbler, he was already a dying patient in the hospital bed, and he attended the cobbler's funeral as a man of great local fame.

It's a pity that the funeral can be attended, but the craftsmanship of the cobbler can't be saved, which has to be said to be a huge loss.

"You Chinese are really rich, you always buy things together, so many belts can't be used, right?" The salesman said with some emotion.

It was clear that he had met more than one such high roller.

"There's no way, I can't help but want to shoot when I see good things, we have a culture of gift-giving, and you can't bring anything when you go back, in case friends mention it's ugly." Gao Xi smiled.

"I don't really understand." The salesman shook his head, although he didn't understand what Gao Xi meant, but he was very happy about it, because he had sold so many belts.

After packing the belt and putting it in a bag, Gao Xi ran first and threw it into the car, which was too much of a hindrance to always carry in his hand.

"Huh? I'm not mistaken, there are actually sugar gourds sold here? This is the United States, right? Suddenly, Liu Xiaogang exclaimed because he saw something that was not supposed to be in the United States.

"Isn't it, you must be dazzled, there will be sugar gourds to sell in the United States?" Gao Xi didn't believe it, but he looked in the direction where Liu Xiaogang's hand was pointing, there really had to be a stall selling rock sugar gourds, and it could be seen that the boss should be Asian, a typical East Asian face, and when he saw the rock sugar gourd, Gao Xi felt that he was going to drool.

It is said that there was an emperor named Guangzong in the Southern Song Dynasty, and his name was "Shaoxi".

During the Shaoxi period, Song Guangzong's favorite Huang Guifei fell ill. She has a yellow face and thin muscles, and she doesn't want to eat. The Imperial Doctor used many valuable medicines, but none of them had any effect. The emperor saw that his concubine was haggard day by day, and he was also sad all day long. In the end, I had no choice but to seek medical treatment.

A Jianghu Langzhong unveiled the list and entered the palace, and after diagnosing Huang Guifei's pulse, he said: "As long as you use rock sugar and red fruit, it is actually hawthorn, and you can use it to boil, eat five to ten pieces before each meal, and you will be cured within half a month." At first, everyone was skeptical, but fortunately, this way of eating was still in line with the concubine's taste, and after the concubine took it in this way, she recovered as scheduled. The emperor was naturally overjoyed and frowned.

Later, this practice spread to the people, and the common people skewered it up and sold it, and it became a rock sugar gourd.

How could Gao Xi bear not to buy a rock sugar gourd in the United States, so he ran over directly and bought several strings in one go, one for himself, and one for his parents, sister, brother-in-law and four little guys.

Liu Xiaogang wanted it and bought it himself.

The two cousins paid for it themselves, and Gao Xi didn't have a chance to be courteous.

"It is said that rock sugar gourd is sour

Inside the sour, it's wrapped in sweetness

It is said that rock sugar gourds are sweet

But inside the sweetness, it reveals that sourness

The sugar gourd looks good, and it wears bamboo sticks

Symbolizes happiness and reunion

Connecting happiness and reunion

No worries, no ......worries."

Gao Xi sang this song that was very popular in the streets and alleys back then, while licking the rock sugar gourd, and he was like a big child.

No way, when I was a child, my family was poor, and I finally ate a rock sugar gourd, which was bought with the money picked up on the ground, and then I couldn't forget the taste, and I always wanted to eat it again, until I was in college, my family life was slightly better, and I also had pocket money, but the rock sugar gourd was getting less and less, especially when he went to school in the southern capital, there was basically no such flavor snack there, and this was especially much more in the north.

While eating rock sugar gourds, everyone caught up with the tour group with laughter and laughter, preparing to follow Okocha and them into the equestrian show together. Who knew that as soon as I got there, I found a familiar face, it was Fei Lengcui, who had said that he couldn't come because of something, and he was actually wearing a denim outfit, which looked like Clement who was going to compete.
