Chapter Thirty-Six: Bargging
After about twenty minutes, Anton finally changed Mimi's clothes and came out.
In fact, Qi Min's new clothes for Mimi are all more everyday styles, a bee-like wide striped top with brown and pink trousers, and a small jacket with a cotton lining on the outside, mainly to cope with the upcoming winter. Because children grow up fast, they have to change new clothes every year.
Mimi still doesn't forget to run around trying on new clothes, and definitely doesn't consciously stand in front of the mirror. Fortunately, Qi Min doesn't ask the little girl to form her own aesthetics at such a point, she just looks pleasing to the eye.
"It's good, so be it. Hmm-" Qi Min looked at the eldest sister of the shopping guide who was still chatting with him just now, "Why don't you have one piece of one color for this size." ”
"Wait...... Wait. Anton hurriedly grabbed her, and deliberately said in English in order not to let people understand, "Don't you have to buy every color, right?" ”
"What, you want to try it at another store?" Qi Min asked helplessly. It's already hard to grab Mimi and try on a set of clothes, so if it's right, won't you buy enough at once?
However, Anton is obviously thinking about other problems: "There are three or four colors of each, which adds up to too much." Mimi will grow taller in the coming year, why spend so much money on clothes? ”
Having said that, Qi Min had to buy some new clothes every year when he was a child. She was never poor when she was a child, and there was no reason for her own daughter to be poor since she was a child.
Qi Min took a deep breath and patted Anton on the shoulder: "It doesn't add up to much money, we can afford it." ”
“BOURGEOSIE。” Anton commented a little unhappily, but because he was spending money on Mimi, he was still reluctant, "You go and bargain with that lady and let her get a discount, right?" ”
Qi Min couldn't help but be a little disdainful of his concept that the baht must be compared, thinking that she was now the PI of the Chinese Technical University, did she still care about the little money saved by the discount? "No, Mimi is now the daughter of a serious university teacher, and she deserves to buy clothes at the original price."
"If you wear clothes on your body, who knows if you bought them at the original price or at a discount?" Anton said, "If you don't know how to bargain, I'll tell her myself." ”
Qi Min thought about it, and asked Anton to say that he would definitely cut half of it when he came up, and he had to fight with others for a long time, this children's clothing store was not a vegetable market? So he hurriedly stopped him and said, "How can you say it clearly, uh...... The notice already says the rules of the promotion, so let me tell you. ”
——
In the end, the children's clothing store gave Mimi an 85% discount on her new clothes, and then bought two pairs of shoes at 9% off. Next, it's time to buy the casserole he wants for Anton, but now he has to look at Mimi with a large bag of things, and it is inconvenient and unsafe to go to the place where the kitchenware is sold.
So Qi Min wrote down Anton's requirements for the casserole model, and then asked them to sit in the rest area and go to the kitchenware area to buy a casserole - because Qi Min couldn't look at Mimi, Anton couldn't recognize all the Chinese characters, so he could only let the insiders be idle and the laymen went to buy the pot.
Qi Min came to the kitchenware area alone, and felt a headache when he looked at all kinds of pots with different shapes and functions. She didn't understand why these appliances couldn't be standardized, so that they could be easily adapted.
But as long as you buy it according to Anton's needs, anyway, he doesn't need a high-end pot to make porridge and soup at home. Qi Min originally thought that this should be quite simple, but after looking at two or three houses, he found that these casseroles were either glazed on the inside, or the thickness was too large, and it was not easy to find a suitable one.
And when Qi Min was about to ask the next family, he turned around and saw a somewhat familiar figure.
"Hey, isn't this Qi Min?" But the other party recognized her first, and then Qi Min also recognized it, this lady wearing a dark blue stand-up collar cheongsam and a set of jade jewelry, looking like a rich person, turned out to be her high school classmate Du Yalin.
Qi Min didn't have any personal relationship with Du Yalin in high school, but in his impression, Du Yalin didn't seem to be from the rich second generation. And now seeing her holding a slightly older, low-key man who wears a mechanical watch that Qi Min doesn't recognize is seems to indicate that this high school classmate may have achieved a class leap through marriage.
"Hey!" Qi Min greeted with some hesitation, because he didn't know him well before, and he didn't know what to call it.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, and you didn't come to the last party." Du Yalin was very comfortable talking to her, "What are you doing now?" ”
Qi Min didn't know what her high school classmates had last party. She was a geek type in high school, far from her grade celebrities and social influencers, and didn't play much with them. "I'm ...... now It's a job, and it's a teacher. ”
"Being a teacher? It's quite in line with your personality. Du Yalin smiled softly, and it seemed that her impression of Qi Min was still at the GEEK stage.
But this is not to blame, Qi Min is still wearing a plaid shirt and jeans when he goes out shopping, and the more he looks at it, the more GEEK he gets.
"By the way, after I changed my phone, I won't have your WeChat, let's add it to each other." DOYARIN SAID AGAIN, TAKING OUT HER PHONE FROM PRADA'S BAG. Qi Min saw that the nail art she did had to be at least two centimeters long.
Qi Min scanned the code to add Du Yalin's friends, and when he clicked on the circle of friends, he saw various travel photos that seemed to be traveling around the world.
"You'll have to come to the next party." Du Yalin smiled at her, and then took her male companion and walked gracefully with a stiletto gait.
Qi Min flipped through her circle of friends again, and couldn't help but sigh that this photo was so good-looking, and Du Yalin was much more beautiful than before after learning to dress up.
——
The fifth store that Qi Min asked finally had a pot that met Anton's requirements. She bought the pot, and took Anton and Mimi to the underground supermarket chain to buy fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat, and then bought her some snacks according to Mimi's preferences.
took the subway to get so many things home, Qi Min was almost tired and lay down. And along the way, because Mimi was used to letting her father pull it, even the heaviest casserole was carried by Qi Min.
Fortunately, there is a sofa and a TV after going home, and I can rest as much as I want. When Anton went to cook, Qi Min lay on the sofa and took out his mobile phone but first saw Ke Li send her WeChat.
Ke Li said on WeChat: "I found that the stability of the fluorescent label in the area where the rat is installed with the interface is not enough, and it cannot be used to make a water maze......
The second one he posted added below: "I've tried changing the dye, but it doesn't work." ”
Qi Min thought about it, learning and memory was indeed not as fast as when she did neurophysiological experiments before, and the fluorescent labels in the rat's brain had to last at least enough to be connected to the 256×256×256 miniature brain-like body without obvious quenching, and the current fluorescent dyes should not be very good.
"I'll go and look at this again tomorrow." Qi Min replied to him.
I can't think of anything about this kind of material problem just by thinking about it. The stability of organic fluorescent dyes that are harmless to organisms is not very good, and you may have to look for inorganic substances. Qi Min suddenly felt that it might be useful to ask Zhang Zhiyong about this.
