Chapter 42 Shopping in the Mall

"Muya, I want to go to the mall today, do you want to come with me?" After breakfast, Gu Pinyao asked An Muya, who was helping on the side, while cleaning up the kitchen. Since she was reborn into this world, she has never gone to a physical mall to shop, and the original owner has very few memories of shopping in physical stores, so now that she is free, she wants to go outside and have a long insight.

Hearing Gu Pinyao's invitation, An Muya agreed without hesitation.

"Yes, I just made a lot of money selling some ability suppression potions during this time, and I also want to go and see the mecha armor." After speaking, An Muya turned to look at An Muqing, "Brother, do you want to be together?" "Because of Gu Pinyao's addition, she is no longer short of medicinal materials for making zuò potions, although what she cracked out was only the primary ability suppression liquid, the finished product was still sold at a high price. Thinking that her brother's mecha armor had been worn for a long time, she wanted him to go with her.

"My mecha armor is still new, I don't need to buy it anymore, Muya, you and Pin Yao go buy one you like." Be careful and stay safe outside, though. An Muqing's answer still disappointed her. Maybe every family member is so warm, which makes Gu Pinyao on the side very emotional, if there was no accident at the beginning, she would not suddenly become an orphan.

The three of them didn't talk for long, and after saying goodbye, Gu Pinyao and An Muya cleaned up and went out. They had booked a taxi and were waiting downstairs in the living building, and after getting in the car, they went to the nearest shopping mall to Domo.

With the rapid development of science and technology, the commodity economy is more integrated into the homes of ordinary people. In the future world, labor is expensive, so most of the trade activities in shopping malls are carried out online. However, the tradition of brick-and-mortar stores has not been replaced by the Internet, and it is still active in the entire Earth Alliance. After getting out of the car and entering the gate of Duomo Mall, Gu Pinyao was attracted by this clean and beautiful decoration. It is almost the same as the modern decoration, but with more futuristic technology and more intelligent instruments. It has also been designed through the passage design and commodity furnishings, and the various signs of the guide system also make Gu Pinyao feel more cordial. After carefully looking at the general index map of the floor distribution at the entrance of the mall, he thought that An Muya wanted to buy a mecha armor and also had a need for clothes, so he prepared to go to the women's clothing area on the 4th floor with An Muya.

"Muya, let's go to the women's clothing area on the 4th floor now, there should also be the mecha armor you want to buy. Huh? Muya, Muya? Gu Pinyao carefully looked at the floor index map and discussed the next itinerary with An Muya, but he didn't get a response from the other party for a long time, so he turned his head and looked at An Muya in wonder. I saw that An Muya was looking at a place on the first floor at the moment, and when she turned her line of sight, she saw the words 'special snacks' written there. Probably guessed An Muya's thoughts, Gu Pinyao was a little funny, and was about to wake up the other party.

"Wake up, wake up, Muya." Gu Pinyao's hand patted the other party's back, waking up An Muya, who was addicted.

"Huh? Pinyao, what's wrong? "Suddenly relieved and realized what stupid thing she had done before, An Muya was a little embarrassed." Pin Yao, I'm sorry, I can't help it when I see the snacks. ”

After getting along for so long, Gu Pinyao also understood the other party's temperament, and chuckled, "It's okay, it's just that we just finished eating breakfast, and you can still eat?" Let's go to the 4th floor to buy clothes first, digest and digest them by the way, and then go downstairs to eat. ”

"Okay, let's go to the fourth floor now." I don't know if I want to buy clothes urgently or want to taste snacks earlier, as soon as An Muya heard the other party's construction, she hurriedly pulled Gu Pinyao to take the elevator upstairs.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, Gu Pinyao and An Muya's women's desire to shop immediately rose. The brick-and-mortar store is not as full of customers as it is in modern times. In addition to some affordable goods, there is a collection of high-quality products. The shopping environment here is also commendable, giving it a quiet and laid-back feel. Each shop has a shopping guide lady standing not far away, and customers will immediately come forward to guide them if they need it. When the customer has no demand, it will stand not far away decently, so that the customer can comfortably choose the product that satisfies him.

There is a wide variety of women's clothing throughout the year. There are simple and capable synthetic clothes, elegant and luxurious brocade long skirts, and even charming and graceful gauze clothes. An Muya was holding a plain brocade robe at the moment, and her face was tangled.

"What's wrong? This dress looks good, go try it. Gu Pinyao didn't know what the other party was hesitating about, and was a little puzzled. In the future, with the high development of technology, there is no need to change clothes in person when shopping in physical stores, and you only need to scan with an instrument to wear the image of your favorite clothes on your body, providing customers with the upper body effect of clothes.

"Well, good-looking is good-looking, but it's a little too plain. It would be nice if there were some embroidery patterns on it, but embroidered clothes are expensive, hey. ”

"Embroidery?" When Gu Pinyao heard this, the memory of the original owner about embroidery came to his mind. Embroidery is a traditional cultural product of the ancient earth, and in the early days of the Earth Alliance, resources were limited, relying on a large number of weavers to weave clothes, and embroidery skills were also developed. It's just that with the passage of time, people are pursuing smarter items, synthetic clothing has become the mainstream, and those ancient inherited skills have slowly faded out of people's sight. It wasn't until decades ago that the government took protective measures to revive those traditional skills. Although after decades of development, the fabric has gradually returned to people's eyes. It's a pity that in this era, the labor cost is really not low, and the clothes made of weaving are expensive, not to mention the embroidery craft products. Although the clothes and machine-embroidered products made of organic qì are always not as good as the original.

"Fortunately, it is made of machine, and the price is acceptable to me. If there is artificial embroidery, I am afraid I will not be able to afford it. In the end, Anmuya tried on the dress and bought it. After paying, he put the packaged clothes in the mustard seed space, and continued to shop with Gu Pinyao.

The An brothers and sisters actually have a lot of income, but their unstable life before made them buy most of the high-priced things to protect against attacks, so their lives are a little tight. Recently, with the addition of Gu Pinyao, the life of the two siblings has settled down. An Mu Ya Tong Guò sold homemade potions and gained a lot, and An Mu Qing also won bonuses by fighting against people on Skynet, and the brother and sister were also financially relaxed. Therefore, An Muya is now shopping happily without pressure at all, and Gu Pinyao, an invisible rich man, naturally has a bulging wallet, thinking that he has not bought new clothes since he was reborn, so he is not soft when he buys clothes.

Hearing what An Muya said, Gu Pinyao was a little interested. She herself is a native of Shudu, and when she was a child, there was a neighbor's grandmother next door to her grandmother, who was a Shu embroidery embroiderer. Gu Pinyao, who has been interested in traditional culture since he was a child, did not miss this opportunity, and under the pretext of providing materials for learning Chinese painting, he learned to paint and embroidery from the embroidery grandmother. Seeing Xiao Gu Pinyao's pleasing appearance and serious attitude, the embroidery grandmother taught her embroidery skills without concealment. Later, Grandma Xiuniang died, and her parents died in a car accident, Gu Pinyao left this place full of memories with sadness. Later, when I went abroad, I never had the opportunity to pick up the embroidery needle again. This is the first time she has heard something about embroidery since she was reborn, Gu Pinyao suddenly had a complicated emotion in her heart at this moment, if she has the opportunity, she hopes to pick up the embroidery needle.

"Muya, wait a minute." Passing by a slightly smaller shop, Gu Pinyao suddenly stopped An Muya.

"What's wrong? This is a material store, specializing in buying some clothing buttons, scraps and the like. An Muya looked at Gu Pinyao very puzzled, not knowing the other party's intentions.

"I'd like to buy some needlework."

"Huh? Do you know how to knit and embroider? An Muya's red lips opened slightly, very surprised.

Seeing the surprise in the other party's eyes, Gu Pinyao explained, "I knew some in the early years, but I haven't done it for a long time, I want to try." ”

"Oh." It didn't seem to have come out of this news, and after Gu Pinyao took her to buy the materials she needed, she was still a little stunned.

Gu Pinyao pulled her back to the first floor with some amusement, walked into a special snack bar, and sat down to prepare for lunch.
