Chapter 257: Danger is approaching step by step
"That's good, how much?" Huang Shi pointed to the pair of gloves hanging on the wall, which was a pair of "Adidas" boxing gloves.
"Lao Huang, you just ordered a bicycle, and now you want to buy a pair of boxing gloves, didn't you say earlier that you came to buy an outdoor tent?"
Huang Shi laughed twice, "If you see that it is useful, you will buy it first, otherwise it will be a waste of time to come and buy it next time." ”
"Well, you said that you want to buy a bicycle to get around, I can understand, but if you want to buy this outdoor tent and boxing gloves, I really don't understand." Shi Wenbo is now accompanying Huangshi to walk around Metrotown, Bai Xiaohei has already taken a taxi back by himself, and the original car is left for Shi Wenbo to drive.
"When I was younger, I had a dream to be a boxer, like the boxing champion Ali, huha......" Huangshi raised his hands and swung a few punches like a boxer.
"It's really fake, when I was young, I only wanted to be an uncle of the People's Liberation Army and an uncle of the police." Shi Wenbo was a little skeptical, feeling that he was about the same age as Huangshi, how could there be such a big gap since he was a child.
Huang Shi smiled and said, "Of course it's true. But in his heart, he said that it was naturally fake, he has never been interested in sports, and the boxing champion Ali has only heard of his name for a long time, in fact, he has never watched the half-time game.
It's just that when he saw this pair of boxing gloves just now, he remembered something, because this time he flew to Canada It was too painful, and he didn't dare to sleep and rest on the way, for fear that the time and space gate would be lost in the vast sky. If he had a pair of gloves like this, he would have just grabbed the light door and put his hand into it, and the glove would automatically make him hold his hand tightly, and the space-time gate would follow, and he wouldn't have to worry about losing it.
In this way, when you take a plane, train, or car, you can rest assured that you can sleep and rest, and wear gloves when you sleep, no one cares if you clench your fists or not, at most you think that this person has quirks, Huang Shi thought so secretly in his heart, so he asked the white salesman to take the gloves down.
"How much did she say?" Huangshi's mute English didn't play a role, and there was a ready-made translator next to him, so he wouldn't even think about gesturing with the clerk, so he immediately turned his head and asked Shi Wenbo.
She said thirty-five dollars.
"It's so cheap."
"She's talking about the Canadian dollar, and now the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the yuan is 1 yuan to 0. 18 Canadian dollars, that is, 1 Canadian dollar equals 5. 53 yuan like this. ”
Huang Shi took the gloves handed over by the clerk, looked at them, and also held his right hand and reached in to try it, and pinched it outside with his left hand, it felt okay, quite interesting, so he said, "That won't be very expensive, it's only one hundred and ninety-three yuan." ”
Then he heard the female clerk chattering beside him, and Huang Shi looked at Lao Shi again.
This time, without waiting for Huangshi to ask him, Shi Wenbo made a translation for him, "She said, this new EVERLAST genuine high-performance training boxing gloves are made of durable and long-lasting synthetic leather, and the palm part has a breathable omentum, which dissipates heat well, and is also breathable, improving the curved anatomical grip, and said that this is the world's first boxing sports brand EVERLAST production, and the quality is first-class." ”
"Oh, I see." Huang Shi nodded, and then said to Shi Wenbo, "Old Shi, then you and her, I am very satisfied with this pair of gloves, I bought it." ”
After chattering with the female clerk for a while, Shi Wenbo turned around and said to Huang Shi, "She said that you are very discerning, and you have a lot of punching power when playing boxing, and if you don't use padded gloves to protect you, it is easy to dislocate your wrists and finger joints." When you put on the gloves, you can increase the cushioning and reduce the power of the punch, protecting the fighter and the opponent as well as protecting it. ”
"Huh." Huang Shi, who was praised by others, smiled happily.
"But ......" didn't expect Shi Wenbo to take a turn, "She also said, this pair of gloves is for heavyweights, you are not suitable for this, you have to use another one, she will help you get it." ”
"Oh, what doesn't fit for you."
She said that in boxing matches, gloves of different weights are used according to weight classes, with gloves weighing 226 grams for the 48-67 kg class and 284 grams for the 71-91 kg class.
Huang Shi touched the leather glove, felt a little loose inside, and said, "Oh." No wonder you've been talking for so long, this foreigner is very good. ”
"Hehe, then you haven't listened to it yet, she also suggested that you buy two sets at the same time, saying that during the boxing match, the organizing committee should prepare two pairs of the same boxing gloves as the competition, one is 226 grams, and the other is 284 grams, in case the athlete's gloves are changed at any time when there is a problem."
"Well, I didn't expect foreigners to have this kind of business ......"
……
After walking out of the sports store, Swenbo turned to Huangshi and asked, "Why don't you let me negotiate the price?" ”
"You get what you pay for, I don't think it's easy for the clerk, I've been talking for so long, and it's ......"
Shi Wenbo said a little teasingly, "Moreover, you see that the person selling the goods is a woman, and she happens to be a little beautiful, and she has praised you a few words in front of her, right?" ”
"No, no, I just think it's too much to bargain, and we'll have time to take a look around first. And the quality of this pair of gloves is not bad, if we do play, a good pair of gloves may be able to rely on it to turn defeat into victory when we fall into the disadvantage. ”
"You don't have a chance to go to the boxing ring, what's the use of buying boxing gloves, and you still want to turn defeat into victory, cut." Shi Wenbo, who said this now, definitely didn't expect that this pair of boxing gloves would not only turn them into victories after a few days, but even save their lives.
Huangshi laughed twice, and didn't say anything more to Shi Wenbo, so the two of them walked along the corridor of Metrotown, the Metrotown arched glass roof effect is very good, and with the indoor flowers and green trees, it makes people feel very good, so Huangshi hummed a small tune in his mouth, while looking at the stores in the corridors on both sides.
After walking around for a long time, I found that this place is very popular and the commercial atmosphere is also very strong, and unlike the shopping malls that sell high-end brands in China, it is basically a brand that ordinary citizens can afford, but although this is the case, each store also has its own characteristics.
"There are a lot of people, and the mall is also very big." Huang Shi saw that although this Metrotown could not compare with the bustling department stores and supermarkets in China, it was quite kind to look at the past.
"Hehe, of course, this is Metrotown Mall, the railroad town shopping mall in Burnaby, Metro Vancouver is the second largest shopping mall in Canada and the largest in British Columbia. There are more than 500 shops here, and when it comes to shopping, dining, and entertainment, it's all about shopping. ”
"It's a pity that this building is a little shorter, only three floors."
"Then there is no way, most of them are like this here, whoever makes them unable to work, there are fewer high-rise buildings. They have only 33 million people in Canada, which is not as large as the population of Fujian, and the market is actually very small, so there are very few hypermarkets like this. Speaking of this, Shi Wenbo has some regrets.
"Old history, you said that they are so strict with us Chinese, in fact, it is completely possible to let go of the introduction, this geographical environment, living conditions, I think it will not be a problem to introduce millions of Chinese, and this country will be built very quickly."
"Cut, Lao Huang, you think so beautifully, now there are only hundreds of thousands of people, and Canadians have already begun to complain, if it is tens of millions, you think they are fools."
"Yes, yes, we Chinese are too capable and too able to endure hardships, to be honest, if they all come over, they will all lose their jobs, and they will have to earn all their money, leaving nothing behind."
"Hehe, Lao Huang, it's not so exaggerated, there are a lot of high-end talents from foreigners, on the contrary, the people we come over can only start from the bottom, otherwise you think that Xiao Hei and they are willing to engage in those crooked slopes. Moreover, as soon as there are many people, the standard of living will have to decline immediately, and foreigners are very good. ”
Huang Shi thought about it, if everyone came, this standard of living might not be so high, so he said, "Yes, then let's go back to the store now to see if their bicycles are adjusted." ”
……
In this way, Huangshi bought a bicycle in Metrotown, a pair of gloves, and then a tent, and some ingredients and other small things, returned to the "Happy Day Hotel", and then agreed with Shi Wenbo to let him come over the day after tomorrow and find himself to go out to play.
Before going to bed, Huang Shi set up a small tent in the room, and then put the space-time door inside, through the open aperture, and looked at Dongluo Island at the end of the space-time door, and found that there was nothing wrong, because on the table placed at the door of the room, there was not a page of paper, which was agreed with Hong'er and them, if there was something important, it could be written on paper and put there.
Then he turned the door of time and space in a few directions, looked at the rest of the room, and saw that the boxes that were covered with black plastic bags were still neatly stacked on both sides, thinking that he would be able to go back with more than 10 million yuan soon after coming out this time, and his heart was really hot, so he fell asleep with this strong excitement soon after.
When he woke up the next morning, he went to the restaurant for dinner, and there was a free continental breakfast in the hotel, and he felt good after eating. Therefore, Huang Shi's later lunch and dinner were either paid to eat in the restaurant, or he cooked some frozen food in his own room in the kitchenette.
It can be said that these two days are the most relaxing days for him in this period of time, just like raising pigs, that is, sleeping and eating, eating and sleeping, and occasionally watching the "Canadian Chinese TV station", but the happy time is always very short, and he does not know that the danger is coming to them step by step.
