Chapter 52: Meet the Doll Street
"There are so many parallel goods stores now, I can't buy the right clothes." Jiang Han felt a little difficult.
In this era, due to the existence of magic, counterfeiting is much simpler.
There are even times when the quality of fakes is higher than the real thing, because the real thing relies on real craftsmanship, and the fake sometimes relies on spells that are bigger than cowhide, and even add a little dragon blood.
The whole country's perception of dragon blood is that if something is not done well, add a little bit to it, and it will be done well.
Even parallel imports.
But why is a brand of goods called brand goods? It's worn out to show people the brand, and it has something to do with the quality, but it doesn't have that much to do with it.
After walking around with him for a while, Cen Jing suggested:
"I think, we can go to the puppet store to have a look, well, to be precise, the clothes in the puppet store are all imported, and the domestic production level has not kept up, the Dutch goods are the majority, the British goods are less, and the American goods can only be sold to Southeast Asia."
Not...... Miss Cen, you're black again, but it's a little interesting, it seems that the clothes in the puppet store are mostly famous brands...... Jiang Han nodded and said that he was convinced:
"Then let's go to the doll shop."
I hope to buy clothes early, then go to the game with Miss Shum, have a hearty dinner after watching the game, and finally go home to exercise and read...... Jiang Han planned the process.
After deciding on the goal, the two walked leisurely on the street, looking at the steep and beautiful canyon, and chatting.
After a while, I came to an area of the mall that sells dolls.
Unlike the puppet shops Jiang Han had seen, the shops in this area were open-air, and the witches set up chic or beautiful stalls to show off and sell their dolls.
Some took out the carpet and laid out the small garden.
There are those who push a tree and dig a storage shelf in the tree.
There was also a horse-drawn carriage with a cabinet open to display the dolls.
The witches also sell miscellaneous items, such as a tenth-small violin that can be played automatically, passionate oil paintings, posters of rock bands (muted) that were common in the 90s, records and gramophones of literary and artistic song and dance troupes.
The only thing that is the same as the commercial street is the patrol officer wearing an earthy green witch cloak and holding a rifle with more symbolic meaning than practicality, which can also be called chengguan. These witch patrolmen, who have added a bit of domestic color to the entire fantasy area, have more serious expressions than dolls, carrying guns, and when someone asks, they suddenly have the vitality to salute:
"Hello comrade! What help do you need? ”
Then, solve the problem one by one.
In addition to the clothes are a little rustic, but they look handsome. Jiang Han looked a little envious and wondered if he wanted to sign up, but when he saw that the average height of this group of patrol officers was a head taller, he lowered his head and sighed deeply.
It seems that there are a lot of international friends in the mall.,This is also where most of the foreign witches settle.,So the patrolmen selected here are all tall.,Not to mention the beauty and goodness are a grade higher than the average Qingxiu.,It looks like the face project is done.。
Cen Jing seems to have been here a few times, and she is familiar with Jiang Han beside her to introduce this puppet street.
It also opened Jiang Han's eyes.
Doll Street has its own set of social processes and peculiar values.
It is customary for witch store managers and stall owners to give each other witch eggs, which means that they have accumulated favor over the years and have a certain peculiar idea.
Let's say a witch who has a wife has a crush on another witch.
Let's say that the result of this kind of affection is not stealing or cheating, but pure platonic love, then the meaning of giving each other witch eggs is:
'I' can't marry/marry 'you' anymore, so let 'my daughter' replace 'me'.
In short, it doesn't matter if the witch who hatched from this egg after eighteen years marries or not, but in short, the meaning has arrived.
And witches born in this situation sometimes call themselves 'doll's daughters' because they don't know who their father's mother and mother's mother are......
Another point is that when doing business on the puppet street, you generally don't say 'how much yuan to buy' or 'how much yuan to sell', but to write it down on a note and hand it over very elegantly, if the price is right, the other party will buy/sell, and if it is not suitable, it will be pushed back, laughing and chatting a few words of gossip until the price is offered again, or directly leaving.
There is also a habit of referring to "dolls" as "ladies".
Before 1968, the average puppeteer witch would call her favorite puppet 'daughter', but because after entering the 80s, because some witches who buy beloved dolls will do something ulterior to the puppet, and then call them 'daughters' It is extremely perverted.
Jiang Han was stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.
- Sometimes I feel like I've seen through the witch race, and I feel like the race has reached the extreme of the lower limit.
This sentence sounded in his mind at the right time, Jiang Han secretly exhaled, and while Cen Jing was not paying attention, he rubbed his face fiercely, making his frozen face soft again, and continuing to wear that sincere and well-behaved smile.
Found a carriage with the sign 'Elsa Mason', Jiang Han followed Cen Jing to the carriage window.
There are very beautiful dolls inside, as well as dolls with a clean and pure feel.
After watching for a short while, they were greeted warmly, and the owner of the carriage was a young woman wearing a wide-brimmed lady's hat, a navy blue robe, and snow-white shorts and boots, and she had a sword-long wand pinned to her waist, and the handle was also made of sword-like hilt.
It's beautiful, and it's heroic.
"Morning, two young ladies. Is there anything I can do to help you? Or do the two young ladies need a superb magician to perform magic tricks from an exotic country? She graciously just glanced at the faces of the two of them, then leaned over slightly and asked with a smile.
Cen Jing also smiled softly and raised her skirt, and said expectantly:
"My friend and I spent a long time shopping to find the clothes we wanted......"
Although it had nothing to do with the puppet, the young lady listened patiently.
Cen Jing continued: "...... I'm wondering if a witch with a high aesthetic who is proficient in the art of dolls can help us a little. ”
"Well, I see, ah, it's a little difficult to buy the right clothes that you can wear without being laughed at." The puppeteer lady smiled and said, "It's hard to suggest, but it's quick to help." I have a suggestion, why don't you let you, um, pretty friend try on my clothes? Although it is worn by dolls, it is also a first-class brand. ”
Just wait for that...... Jiang Han saw Cen Jing and quickly expressed his approval.
The lady invited the two of them to get into the car, and said with a little humility:
"Please get in the car, as a down-and-out artist, I have to change my clothes, wash up, and occasionally cook a few dishes for myself."
After taking off their shoes, Jiang Han and Cen Jing entered the carriage together.
It looks small on the outside, but in fact, the interior of the carriage is very large, about 70 square meters.
There is a jacuzzi that can accommodate about four people together, and a hair battery that stores about a few hundred witch eggs.
There are bookshelves, desks, dressing rooms, and seven wooden boxes hanging in mid-air on the walls.
There is even a small hall with a very low couch, and it is very casual and comfortable to put your feet straight and step on the soft cushion. Then on the other side of the wall of the small hall, there were spell plants closed in glass covers, and two letters.
【Si is the Burrow】
【Weiwu Dexin】
…… It can be said that the pretense has been forced to a new level...... Jiang Han was impressed in her heart, and at the same time as she was impressed, the witch had already found a set of measuring tools from the box.
"First of all, this lovely young lady, I need to measure your height first......"
Height? Measuring height? Jiang Han's face was full of unhappiness.
…… Can I stop buying clothes?
