Chapter 2007 Eat a soft meal
When I went shopping, Lin Ling changed into a red narrow jacket and discussed it as a white high-neck inside. The wavy shirt collar and cuffs all jumped out of the red jacket. The lower body was a group of black-bottomed red patterns with knees, and the younger generation with hair draped over the waist. They paired with black stockings and the pair of red leather shoes. They exuded a youthful and beautiful lively atmosphere in their maturity.
Lin Ling enjoyed her intimate leisure time very much. Her hands tightly tied Chen Kangjie's arms, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if he loosened a little.
Looking at the happiness on Lin Ling's face, who looked like a little woman, Chen Kangjie also felt satisfied and a sense of accomplishment.
This pedestrian street was newly built to adapt to the renovation of the old city. Various kinds of goods and snacks can be found here. Although it is only a few hundred meters long, the flow of people is really large. The shops on both sides will open from early in the morning to very late.
According to statistics, the daily flow of people here is 100,000. In order to provide tourists with a comfortable environment, a large row of trees are planted in the middle of the wide street paved with tiled floors. There is a small garden of two or three or four square meters between the intervals of about ten trees. There are wooden benches under the surrounding trees. Those who are tired of walking can rest on chairs and enjoy the cool air.
Some snack shops or milk tea shops next to them will also place some tables and chairs that cannot be placed inside, and then hold two sun umbrellas. If you are hungry or thirsty, it is also quite pleasant to sit down in these small shops to eat special snacks or drink a drink.
Perhaps because Chen Kangjie is by his side, Lin Ling's character has really become an ordinary little woman. Most of the things sold on the pedestrian street are low-priced popular products, but she is extremely excited, but she wants to see this and that. Even some cheap things that are only a few dollars, she is happy.
In fact, according to Lin Ling's current economic situation, all she uses are famous brands, and she has almost no longer used these things that cost dozens of dollars.
"I want to buy this hairpin." In front of a small hairpin shop, Lin Lingdong carefully selected it for a long time and fell in love with a small hairpin that looked like crystal but was actually plastic.
"If you like, I can give you a real crystal." Chen Kangjie said, looking at the hairpin that was only worth three dollars.
Although Chen Kangjie said in a low voice, the female boss who was approaching to greet the guests still heard it. He curled his lips and was very disdainful of Chen Kangjie's swollen face.
If you have money to buy real crystals, will you come to pedestrian streets and shop like this for a few dollars? You really want to do that and want to set up a archway. So shameless.
However, the boss is a businessman after all. With the mentality of making money with kindness and making more things less than more, although she despised Chen Kangjie in her heart, she didn't say anything. She just became much colder in the subsequent reception.
"No, I just like this. You don't know. When I was in school, this was great for me." Lin Ling shook her head and said.
"Okay, if you like it, then buy it, boss, how much does this cost?" Chen Kangjie couldn't help but smile and turned to ask the boss's wife.
"This is not real crystal, it only costs three dollars." The boss lady said in a cold tone.
Chen Kangjie knew that the boss's wife had an objection to what she said just now, but if they thought so, there was no way. Since Lin Ling liked it, just buy it.
But what was a little embarrassed was that Chen Kangjie touched his pocket for a long time, but he still couldn't find any money.
"Oh no, I didn't bring any money." Chen Kangjie stood there embarrassedly.
Chen Kangjie rarely brings money on him. He uses meal cards in school. The meal cards can not only buy food, but also buy all kinds of things in the school store. After leaving the school, Xiong Ziqiang and others often follow him, and he doesn’t have much chance of paying the bills himself. He will only pay when he goes to the school gate to eat, but at that time he will bring money specifically. If he is in other places, he will be a card swiper.
Today I didn’t expect to come to this place to go shopping and buy things, so I didn’t bring any money. Lin Ling paid for the taxi.
"How about you wait for me and I'll go to the bank over there to withdraw some money."
"How many dollars are there, there is no need to withdraw money? I have it with you." As he said that, Lin Ling took out a fifty-year-old piece from her handbag and handed it to the boss's wife.
While refunding the money, the boss's wife scanned Chen Kangjie with a strange look.
The two of them took the delivery and turned around and left the shop. After walking a few meters, they heard the boss lady say sarcastically behind her: "I have no money when I eat soft food, and I also learn to decorate a big-tailed wolf in the house. Humph, it's embarrassing."
As soon as he heard this, Chen Kangjie's face suddenly became gloomy.
Lin Ling, who was holding Chen Kangjie's arm intimately, was worried that Chen Kangjie would not be able to stand it, so she turned around to find trouble for the boss's wife and grabbed him tightly: "Forget it, don't have some experience with her. Such a person is not worthy of being."
Chen Kangjie thought it was true, did he take a lot of money to show off in front of the boss's wife? Wouldn't that seem too vulgar? If people think that the money they took was given by a woman, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
What's more, if I really go back and argue with her, I will be ruined if I don't have a good time today's leisure and romance.
He couldn't help but shook his head: "You're right, I don't want my mood to be ruined like this. But, I was misunderstood and I was injured. You have to make up for me and heal my injured weak heart."
"Hehe, you are a big man and your heart is not weak. Besides, how can I compensate you?" Lin Ling was amused by Chen Kangjie and laughed tremblingly.
"Who says that a big man must be strong in his heart? I don't care about this logic. Anyway, I will eat soft rice today. You are responsible for your food, drink, defecation and urination today. In addition, you have to have a full set tonight, that's it." Chen Kangjie said shamelessly.
"Wow, you are so naughty. How can you be like you? Then wouldn't I suffer a big loss? It's both a loss of money and a loss of people. Hahaha, do you want to be so scoundrel?" Lin Ling slapped Chen Kangjie with a pretty face red.
"Hehe, I'm a scoundrel today, what's wrong? Anyway, I'm being discriminated against, so I have to find some compensation from you, otherwise I will be the one who loses a lot." Chen Kangjie said shamelessly.
"Okay, as long as you can make me happy, that lady will beg you today." After saying this with her body straightened, Lin Ling almost smiled and bent over.
In the next time, Chen Kangjie really didn't withdraw money, and all the expenses were responsible for Lin Ling.
After walking on the pedestrian street for about an hour, Chen Kangjie and the others left there and turned to a large shopping mall next to them.
This mall is one of the most advanced local shopping malls and is invested by a local company. In the past few years, it was considered a benchmark for local business, but with the entry of foreign capital, many mid-to-high-end shopping malls have also appeared.
Chen Kangjie and the others came here to visit, mainly because it was close to the pedestrian street, and the goods inside ranged from a few hundred to tens of thousands of yuan. Moreover, there was a warm restaurant in the mall.
"All the purchases here can be used to swipe the card. Are you still relying on me?" Lin Ling laughed and joked.
"Damn, of course, it's rare to have such an opportunity. After passing this village, there is no such store. I will never miss this opportunity to kill the female boss." Chen Kangjie said with confidence, like a greedy and stingy person.
"Okay, then let's go to the men's clothing floor to see. I'll buy you two outfits. I haven't bought you any clothes yet." Lin Ling cooperated with a smile: "Let's go, follow me, and I'll cover you today."
Although this shopping mall is very close to the pedestrian street, there is much less crowd. The key is that it is not a mass consumption, and ordinary citizens rarely buy a few things here a year, so many people will not come in even if they pass by the door. Even if they come in, they will see more and consume less.
After all, according to the current general income level, the clothes that are often tens of thousands of yuan in it are not affordable for ordinary people. Even those hundreds of dollars are viewed and compared, people will make up their minds after looking at them.
"Buy me clothes? I see, you'd better buy me underwear. I didn't buy my clothes outside."
"Where did you come from when I bought it outside?" Lin Ling asked in confusion.
"Didn't you find that my clothes are all without trademarks? There are already many in my home, and I customize many sets of them according to the season every year."
"It's true, I understand, private customization, but I just thought I'd like to customize it for you, and it's too late now." When Lin Ling thought of Chen Kangjie's identity and income status, she suddenly realized it.
But Lin Ling was still a little disappointed. In her opinion, it would be of special significance if Chen Kangjie could wear the clothes he bought for him.
"So I said to buy underwear, haha, let's go, let's just say that. If you meet a suitable one, it's OK to buy it for wear, but this will test your vision." Feeling that Lin Ling's emotions were affected, Chen Kangjie quickly teased her face and said relaxedly.
"Forget it, I won't buy it anymore. I know that private custom clothes are often tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. The things sold here may not be suitable for your taste."
"That's not the case, nor is it the reason. In this way, you have been in the United States for a while. How do you think of the casual outfit I'm wearing?"
Lin Ling looked Chen Kangjie up and down and said, "It looks very ordinary, but the materials are better, otherwise, it doesn't look like a high-end product. I'll tell the truth."
"That's right. Now you understand why I don't buy clothes in the mall, right? The tens of thousands of yuan of clothes here will give people a glamorous and luxurious feeling as long as I wear them, but I have to be low-key. I can't make myself look like a nouveau riche in school. So, the clothes I need are not only comfortable to wear, but also need to be restrained. This is difficult for ordinary brand manufacturers to do. Armani provides me with a lot of clothes every year, but I don't wear them much." Chen Kangjie explained.
