Nightmare wake up

Chapter 32 Ring
Unexpectedly, he first found the Federal Commercial Bank at the corner of the street and cashed the check.

The reason why I didn't bring Uncle Cat was because the door of the bank clearly stated "No animals allowed".

Surprisingly, the process went so smoothly!

As soon as Unexpectedly entered the door, the manager of the bank lobby opened a "green channel" and went directly to the VIP to go through the formalities...

I asked, and then I remembered that I forgot to change out of the uniform of the Ombudsman—Federal civil servants can enjoy special treatment in banks!
No queue is fast!

Mo Kei opened a personal account and deposited the "huge sum" of ten gold dollars, leaving only more than 30 silver dollars in cash.

Satisfied out of the bank, it was noon, Maggie and Uncle Cat found a restaurant to settle their lunch, and then strolled the commercial street.

"This is it! Qingyun Building!" Mo Wei saw a two-story gold shop and stopped.

"Meow~~" Uncle Cat pointed to the sign next to the door, and the cat meowed.

Seeing the words "No pets allowed" on the sign again, Mo Qi smiled, knowing that Uncle Cat said he was waiting here.

The store is not small, with more than a dozen showcases. Under the transparent glass, various ornaments are neatly arranged, glittering under the light. The innermost is a neat workbench. Two master goldsmiths are digging into the metal in their hands.

As soon as he entered the door, a female shopping guide wearing a cheongsam greeted her with a smile.

"Officer! What do you want to see?" The female shopping guide reached out and made a gesture of invitation: "I'll introduce it to you!"

I'm not used to being called a police officer...

However, the uniform of the Sheriff's Department is dark blue, and the uniform of the Ombudsman is black, and the female shopping guide seems to lack the distinction between the two.

"Ring!" Mo Gu replied confidently.

"The rings are all here!" The shopping guide smiled and said, "The rings are the signature of our Qingyun Building. There is no gold shop in the commercial street that has more styles than our Qingyun Building."

Followed the shopping guide, and sure enough, the entire row of showcases against the wall were all rings, most of them were gold, a few were platinum, and one showcase was all silver.

"Are you going to get married?" the shopping guide asked: "Diamond rings are popular for marriage now, but they need to be customized, and they are not shown here."

What kind of marriage are you going to marry... Mo Wei pondered for a while: "Buy a ring and wear it yourself! Single!"

"Oh..." The embarrassment on the shopping guide's face disappeared in a flash, and he immediately resumed his smile and began to introduce incessantly: "I wear it myself, and I choose the type that is rich and rich, and it is better to have a heavier weight!"

"Look at this pure gold 'Ping An Fu', with the word "Fu" on it, the total weight is ten grams, and it costs 42 silver dollars..."

"There is also this platinum 'Weaving Love', how finely handcrafted, the gold threads are woven in the grooves of the platinum, very individual, 33 silver dollars..."

The shopping guides are all big ones, and I have a total of 35 silver dollars on me... Mo Wei sweated on his palms, calmed down a bit, and said calmly:

"Pick me something sturdy!"

"It's... strong?" The female shopping guide was stunned.

This reference standard seems to be rarely encountered before... Looking back on my career in the past eight years, it seems that this standard has never appeared.

Buy a ring to be strong... Is it for smashing walnuts?

Uncertain in my heart, didn't I mean to be firmer...

"Sturdy" is the most important criterion, followed by the shape not to be fancy, preferably unremarkable, and then... as cheap as possible.

Seeing the customer nodding firmly, not joking at all, the female shopping guide pressed the doubts in her heart and showed a professional side:
"Under normal circumstances, platinum has the highest hardness, far exceeding gold and silver, and silver is slightly harder than gold..."

The hardness of platinum is suitable, and it looks very regular. There are not too many patterns, but it is too expensive... Unexpectedly, he turned his head to look at the platinum display cabinet, and found that it was more than 30 silver dollars per water.

Pure gold and sterling silver seem to be not very strong, easy to deform...

Seeing the unpredictable silence, the female shopping guide said hesitantly: "In terms of hardness, white gold has the highest hardness and is very wear-resistant..."

"What is white gold? Platinum?" Unpredictable guessed.

"It's not platinum. Platinum is a common name for platinum. White gold is an alloy of gold and other metals..." The shopping guide replied, "The price is only about [-]% of gold."

"Then white gold!" Mo Wei quickly made a decision and pointed to the platinum ring in the showcase in front of him: "It's better if there is no pattern like this, just a bare ring!"

"Bare?!" The shopping guide felt as though she had a lot to say and didn't have the chance to say it. This customer's criteria for choosing a ring was really weird.

God is so bald...

However, the female shopping guide was still slightly relieved. No matter what, the order was completed... After calming down for a while, she quickly said, "Okay!"

It's just that the voice just fell, but I heard the murmuring muttering in the mouth:
"It's still white gold, I guess the style is not bad, how simple..."

I believe you... The female shopping guide tried her best to keep a smile on her face, and the white gold jewelry was not displayed at all. Where did you come to the conclusion that "the style is good"?

"It's just a ring, don't want any patterns?" The female shopping guide pointed to the workbench next to it: "About 4 grams of gold is enough, the manual fee is 2 silver dollars, and the total price is 15.5 silver dollars, and the master will make it right away."

"It will take about ten minutes..."

"Can it be cheaper?" Mo Wei blurted out.

"The raw materials are already close to the cost price. No matter how cheap it is, the master's manual fee will be deducted... The master will not give in." The female shopping guide looked embarrassed and turned to look at the goldsmith who was working hard.

Maggie has an innate respect for rival artists... Seeing that the two goldsmiths were concentrating on the model and metal in their hands, and they didn't come up to bargain, Maggie nodded: "That's it!"

After finishing speaking, he followed the female shopping guide to the workbench, and after staring at the goldsmith's balance to weigh the gold, Mo Wei directly found a chair to watch the ring making.

I remember that this line is very dark, and I often use things like aqua regia to wash precious metals... Unpredictable eyesight.

The female shopping guide didn't speak anymore when she saw that, and walked back to the counter at the door.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, just as the ring was about to be formed, a woman dragged the man in from the outside, and said in a coquettish manner:
"Husband, just accompany me to see it!"

The man's face was filled with a reluctant wry smile, but he couldn't resist.

The shopping guide immediately got up, got close, and repeated what she had just said to Moqi.

The woman pointed to a huge platinum ring in the showcase, and said to the man: "My dear, I will be 30 years old next year, can you give me this 'Crystal Heart'?"

The man looked at the row of numbers on the price tag, his face was obviously pale...

"Send it to me! Turning 30 has a special meaning..." The woman shook her husband's arm, seemingly wanting a promise on the spot.

"Alas..." The husband pursed his lips, hugged the woman's shoulders with both hands, and said calmly:

"My dear, do you know that you will always be in my heart!"

The woman suddenly opened her eyes...

The shopping guide girl almost laughed out loud, turned to look at Mo Wei, and covered the smile at the corner of her mouth with her hand.

This operation forced by the desire to survive... Unexpectedly sighed a few times from the bottom of his heart, and heard the master goldsmith say next to him: "Your work is done!"

Unpredictable turned his head, and a very "plain" white ring was placed in front of him, with no special shape or shining light, just like the Lord of the Rings in "The Lord of the Rings", round and thick.

The female shopping guide came over again, left the man and woman who had already started arguing behind her, and said to Moqi, "Are you still satisfied? 15.5 silver dollars."

Unpredictable, I picked up the ring, the tentacles were hard...

Scraped a few times with my fingernails, no marks left...

I squeezed the ring and bumped it a few times on the table, without any deformation!
"Not bad! Very strong!"

The eyelids of the female shopping guide jumped a few times.

He took out two silver ten-dollar bills and handed them over. While the female shopping guide was looking for money, Unexpectedly put the ring on the little finger of his left hand, the size was just right...

Turning to look at a man and a woman who were still arguing, Uncle got up and went out, and continued shopping with Uncle Cat.

After walking for less than an hour, I was exhausted and felt that my legs couldn't lift...

Unpredictable can not help but admire those female compatriots...

When it comes to shopping, males do not have any talent, whether they are humans or cats.

After buying two glasses of juice, one person and one cat found a bench to rest for a long time, and then they relaxed.

There is no good choice for another item. In the end, I bought a pen for 10 coppers to make up the count. No matter what, this can be regarded as a "carry-on" item.

Men themselves have no decorations...

If it's a woman, it's easy to handle. Necklaces, hairpins, earrings, wallets... In a woman's purse, you can use anything you take out.

"Let's go, go to Luo Sheng's psychological clinic, and just do the internship." Mo Qi said to Uncle Cat.

"Anyway..." The old cat was already drowsy, as if he could fall asleep anytime, anywhere, and muttered to Moqi, "I'll just follow you anyway."

Moqi called a rickshaw this time, because Luo Sheng's psychological clinic was also in the center of the city, not far away.

This is the first time I have experienced this vehicle...

The driver was a Europa, wearing an ordinary linen shirt without buttons, with a white towel hanging on his shoulders. He was very happy to see a customer stopping the car.

"One kilometer is 5 copper dollars..." The driver pointed to the device on the side of the seat: "If one kilometer is not enough, it is counted as one kilometer, and the meter can be used."

The device is a metal box. As the wheels turn, the numbers on it will jump like an electric meter. Only then did I realize that it was a mechanical version of the "odometer".

After roughly estimating the distance, Mo Qi recalled the location: "Go to Qintai Road, the psychological clinic next to the Guilong Hotel."

"Xin Yu?" The driver was stunned when he heard the words, and asked doubtfully, "Is that so?"

Mo Qi had never been to Luo Sheng's psychiatric clinic, and only knew the address. He never thought that the driver would walk around the streets every day and be more familiar than himself.

The rickshaw set off, and the driver ran all the way to move fast...
