Celestial Master Cultivation Diary

Chapter 242. 241. Newly promoted Wang Lin

For more than 20 years since he was a child, Li Zhe has never bought new year's goods by himself.

Lin Youyou didn't either, but she felt that it was necessary to bring some New Year's goods home this year, after all, she was an adult with a job.

As a result, the two of them came to a real flexible vacation - after two days of work in one day, one day was spared to go shopping.

And the facts have also proved that it is indeed possible to finish two days' work in one day, but generally no one is willing to do so.

Those who are willing to do this will most likely have to work for two days a day.

……

Although everything was arranged properly, Li Zhe didn't feel confused until he actually went out.

Doing New Year's goods, doing New Year's goods, sounds like a familiar term, but he really wants to buy it, but he doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​the word "New Year's goods".

"What should I buy for the New Year?"

"Let's go shopping for clothes first."

"?" Slightly taken aback, Li Zhe showed doubts: "Do you need to buy clothes for the New Year?"

"Of course, it's a new year with a new atmosphere, and you have to wear new clothes." Lin Youyou looked at him sideways: "Didn't you buy new clothes for the New Year when you were young?"

"Buy, but that's a very young age."

When I was young, I would buy new cotton-padded jackets, new clothes, new pants, and new shoes, and then I would look forward to the New Year with all my heart.

Waiting for the first day of the Lunar New Year, when I get up early and put on a new outfit, I immediately feel that I am the most beautiful boy in the whole street, and everyone is shining when I stand there.

Li Zhe himself forgot the exact year it started, and suddenly he didn't buy new clothes very much. Even if he bought new clothes, he didn't wait until the first day of the new year to wear them, but took them out early.

From this point of view, I still had a sense of ritual when I was young, but the older I got, the more boring I felt.

"I'll buy you a coat. I think you'll look good in a coat."

After circling Li Zhe twice, Lin Youyou looked him up and down, playing a live-action Miracle Nuan Nuan in his mind.

A black overcoat, a cashmere sweater...it should look good with his tall stature, he looks mature, stable and restrained.

Most importantly - still handsome.

She has always felt that boys' clothes are particularly easy to choose. Compared with girls, men's clothes don't have so many styles, and they pay more attention to the shape and color.

The workmanship is good and the shape is good, and the body will be very visible behind the upper body.

Don't be too fancy in terms of color, just match it reasonably, and your mental outlook will improve all of a sudden.

If boys are often moved by all kinds of skirts, then the ones that can poke girls' hearts are straight suits, white shirts, and woolen coats.

"No need... I don't feel like I'm short of clothes."

"You wear these few pieces every day and you still don't lack clothes." Lin Youyou raised her brows, not knowing why some people don't like to buy clothes: "Besides, why don't you have new clothes after the Chinese New Year, go quickly, what can I get for you to try later?" What."

"..."

Just enough for a change of clothes and enough for clothes... Young Master Li muttered twice, and was dragged all the way into the shopping mall by her.

After 10 minutes, he looked at the girl's left one and the right one, and couldn't help asking, "Do you want to try all of these?"

"Try it and don't need money, how do you know if it's suitable if you don't have the upper body?"

Putting the clothes in his hand on his body, comparing the size a little, Lin Youyou ordered: "Take off the coat."

"..."

Honestly taking off his down jacket, Li Zhe put on a black woolen overcoat, and reluctantly walked to the mirror and spun around.

"Raise your hands."

lift--

"Turn around again."

……change--

"The size is okay... Does it feel a little short?"

"It's still short?" Li Zhe looked down, and the hem of his clothes reached his thighs.

"That's right, it's a coat after all. It feels like it can be longer, and it will look handsome." After picking out the few clothes he had just spotted, Lin Youyou took out another one: "Try this."

"Is this color a bit old-fashioned?"

"Then you try this black one."

"...Actually, I think down jackets are pretty good and warm."

"Try it quickly!" Lin Youyou found that this man was tough and soft today, Lin Youyou put on a pretty face, and started to pick off his clothes: "You can wear a coat in spring and autumn, and down jackets can only be worn in winter, and you wear down jackets like a kid."

"What about a coat?"

"Wear a coat like my boyfriend."

"???"

After trying several pieces in succession, one piece finally fit the image in Lin Youyou's mind perfectly, and she couldn't help clapping her hands.

Infected by her, Li Zhe himself felt a little more handsome.

It's not handsome, but compared with the down jacket, it does seem to have a bit more inexplicable aura.

It is true that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.

Looking at the price on the tag, I immediately felt that the clothes were very ordinary.

"So expensive?"

It costs thousands of dollars to buy a coat. If Li Zhe hadn't glanced at the tag, he would have almost forgotten that he was in a big shopping mall in Jinghai—in this gold-selling cave, nothing is particularly cheap.

Lin Youyou remained silent, holding her mobile phone to ask for help outside the venue.

When buying clothes, especially in shopping malls, the price is very particular—the prices of those big-name counters have always been uniform throughout the country and cannot be beaten, but other than that, various unknown retail stores will basically put the tag The price tag is inflated.

For local tyrants who are not short of money, they never look at the price in consumption, so they buy it with a wave of their hands.

But for ordinary people, they can completely sacrifice their own dragon-slaying sword and slash it twice.

If it doesn't come out, it will die, and if it comes out, it must be fatal.

For things like bargaining, the most important thing is to confront each other for the first time and give the opponent an impression of being old.

If you cut too far, it will cause an overreaction, if you cut too lightly, others will see that you don't know how to do it.

Be sure to cut just right, cut just right, and then repeatedly jump across the boss's collapsed defense line.

As a master who has practiced knives for decades, Lin Hongxia looked at it carefully and gave the price in her heart.

Then Lin Youyou took the price, calmly went to the sales lady and began to talk: "Hello, how much is this one?"

The salesman held the tag and looked at it: "Ours is 100% wool, and now we are doing activities during the Chinese New Year. I can give you a [-]% discount."

Facing this discount without any disturbance, Lin Youyou's lips moved and he spit out a number.

After Li Zhe heard it, he made up his mind, good guy, just cut it in half.

After hearing the price she quoted, the sales lady obviously became serious, and didn't say whether she could sell it, but introduced her clothes again, from materials to fabrics, and talked endlessly.

On the surface, Lin Youyou was as stable as an old dog, but in reality she panicked a lot and started to find faults in various ways.

The two soon started a second round of tugging, and finally sold it with a [-]% discount, and Xiao Nizi turned her head and left.

Then, within two steps, the salesman said again: "Well, I'll go to our manager and ask, because this is really a very favorable price, and it's not convenient for me to make the decision..."

"Then ask."

The sales lady pretended to contact her, leaving the two of them staring at each other.

"I can't tell, why are you so brave and good at fighting?"

Lin Youyou raised her chin proudly.

If it hadn't been for the days and nights of honing in the vegetable market in the past few months, she would have easily shown timidity, but bargaining is like two armies confronting each other, and morale must not be let down.

Li Zhe stretched out his hand to pinch her little face, thinking that bargaining is really a magical skill.

People who know it think it should be taken for granted, and those who don't know it think it's outrageous.

What's more, usually he doesn't know how to speak at all.

If it were him, basically the conversation would be like this:
"Boss, can this be cheaper?"

"It's already the cheapest price."

"Oh."

Finish.

Over time, he stopped asking, and bought something at the original price if he really liked it, or searched the price online.

Most of the time, people buy big brands not because they believe in their brand effect, but because they simply think that the way of clearly marking the price is very transparent and simple.

Unless there are occasional events, everyone is at the same price, regardless of the region, online or offline, and regardless of whether you know how to do it or not, and whether you can bargain.

It is very fair and easy, and fully implements the concept of discounts such as early purchase, early enjoyment and late purchase.

"Would you like to buy one too?"

"Do you want to wear couple clothes with me?"

Li Zhe was stunned: "Is there a couple's model here?"

Looking at this stupid man, Lin Youyou couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth: "Of course not, and I have a coat."

"Didn't you say that the New Year needs a new look?"

Xiao Nizi thought for a while, and said, "It's too expensive here."

"Then you still buy it here for me?"

"Because this one really suits you." Lin Youyou raised her head and helped him fasten the buttons: "It looks good."

"Find one for you too, we'll wear it together."

"I do not want."

"Then I don't want it either."

"……plum!"

Lin Youyou stomped her feet, furrowed her brows angrily, and finally compromised: "Then go find it, buy two and ask her to give us a discount."

Not long after, the sales lady came back, and brought back the bottom line of their boss - [-]% off.

Then when they learned that the two wanted to buy two pieces, they started a new round of tugging, and finally gave them a [-]% discount with a heartbroken face.

Originally, Lin Youyou wanted to use her own small treasury to buy it, but under Li Zhe's strong opposition, she finally swiped the bank card that the two of them saved together.

Carrying the bag and walking out, Xinjin Chopper Wang Lindaodao searched for a new shop while muttering: "Seeing if she is unwilling, she should have earned us a lot of money just by doing this."

"Is it so profitable?"

"The price of their hanging tags is very high. If it were my mother, they would definitely be able to lower the price."

In the past, she wasn't too keen on bargaining. She found it troublesome and embarrassing, but later she felt that those who didn't bargain were all wronged.

After all, the money that was cut was actually saved. It only needed a wave of verbal confrontation and psychological games to save such a large amount of money, which was much easier than making money.

Some people say that money is not saved, but earned.

Lin Youyou felt that this must be said by the businessmen, because the really rich people are very picky, they can earn money and save money, and they really spend their money wisely.

……

Usually when the two of them go out shopping, they basically just stroll around casually, just for a walk, or to pass the time.

Today is the first time that Li Zhe has really felt the madness of women when they go shopping—there are big and small shopping bags, and both hands are full.

All clothes.

He was groomed almost from head to toe, except for two new underpants.

Fortunately, this girl seems to have forgotten about this, so Li Zhe naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.

The pair of underwear I bought last time, after wearing them for half a year, gradually showed signs of being tamed - a certain celebrity once said in his unpublished work: "Pants that don't change into the shape of the owner" , not a good underpants.

He didn't want to wear a pair of unruly new underpants for the New Year's Eve.

"Brother Li, let's go buy some food again? Should we buy some nuts and fruits for the Chinese New Year?"

"Anything is fine." Li Zhe nodded, and made a bag-carrying machine with peace of mind: "The fruit will go bad, I will buy it when I go back."

"Then let's buy some nut snacks...Do you want to buy couplets?"

"Couple...Let Niu Liang write the couplet."

Niu Liang was a new monster they had met before, and among all the monsters they had ever seen, the most alive one.

There is no other reason, because it will make money.

This little monster can't do anything else, but he can write well. Before that, he also found a demon master to work with him. One was in charge of writing, and the other was in charge of selling.

For things like selling calligraphy, except for dead people and real contemporary masters, it is difficult for ordinary people to find a market for their calligraphy, and they are basically sold cheaply in the low-end market.

Not to mention cheap, the key is that almost no one wants serious words, only Jianghu style is more popular.

The reason why Niu Liang was able to thrive was entirely because the sorcerer he cooperated with was quick-spoken, able to lie and deceive, and had his own market.

Just like Philip sold Dries' paintings at a high price - the value of art depends on how much people give it, and how much people who pay for it believe.

If it was someone else, Li Zhe would not believe it, but when it said that the demon master was called Chen Mumu, Li Zhe immediately believed it.

That guy is indeed very good at deceiving, even he was deceived--what about helping with Feng Shui and giving me a share?
It's almost New Year's Eve, and I can't find anyone.

This Feng Shui master Chen even stopped updating the latest videos, and he doesn't know if he quit the Internet or was arrested.

……

"Will it write to us?"

"It will definitely, after all, it still has to buy things from us."

In this regard, Li Zhe is very confident.

Niu Liang, that little monster, was so weak that he was carrying a huge sum of money.

If it wasn't for him to protect him, he might be robbed by other monsters [-] times a day.

In the past, Niu Liang could ask Chen Mumu to help, but now he couldn't find the shadow of the great Feng Shui master, so he could only seek the protection of Master You Tian, ​​and let them help with consumption by the way.

As a qualified middleman, Li Zhe also took advantage of the opportunity to open his own private canteen. A bottle of soap and happy water is five yuan a bottle.

Niu Liang was ecstatic - Chen Mumu used to be sold to him for 50 yuan a can.

Li Zhe was a little silent after knowing the price.

……

I bought a gift box of nuts and some blank couplet paper. Before leaving, Lin Youyou also bought a stack of red envelopes to take away with her.

For children, except for the red envelopes from their parents, which are the real red envelopes, the red envelopes given by other elders are actually just exchanges of affection between adults.

Just like the money for marriage, I give it to you, you give it to me, go through the process of each other, and win the lottery, no one loses to the other.

Li Zhe and Li Zhe had no human relationship, their red envelopes were meant to be given to the elders in the family, and when they actually stuffed the money into it, it still felt a bit painful.

The New Year is approaching, and the Spring Festival travel is just around the corner.

If you have money or not, you go home to celebrate the New Year. The airport and train station in Jinghai welcome the largest passenger flow of the year, and they keep coming and going day and night.

Some people got into the car with a red face, and returned home to celebrate the New Year happily, and some people turned their heads suddenly and left a last look.

This is the land of dreams, and here is the dream machine.
