Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 12 Unusual Weather and Pickup
Much of the Golden State, located south of the federal West Coast, has only two seasons, a dry season and a wet season.And the southern part of the Federation mostly has a tropical desert climate, not to mention the environment in arid areas inland. It is news that a few people die every year without heat.

Fortunately, because of the Golden State Ocean Current, cities like Los Angeles located on the southern coast are better off. They have a Mediterranean climate, with wet winters and dry summers. The highest temperature in previous years is about 32 degrees Celsius, and the climate is fairly mild throughout the year.

But that refers to the past, especially in the past two years when the millennium is approaching, the climate in the Golden State or the entire White Eagle Federation, including the east and west coasts, has become abnormal.

Compared with the severe cold and snow disasters that frequently broke out in the central, eastern and northern states in winter, the southern part of the White Eagle Federation, especially the desert areas, experienced unprecedented high-temperature weather since the founding of the People's Republic of China in summer. Last year, some areas even exceeded 122 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 50 degrees Celsius. The deadly high temperature and the surface temperature can easily cook eggs thoroughly within 3 minutes.

Therefore, in the past two years, even the summer in Jinzhou has been much hotter than in previous years. It is common to enter the high temperature of 37 degrees Celsius in midsummer, and the highest temperature can even exceed [-] degrees Celsius. Second wildfire.

"Why is the weather the same as it was 20 years ago when I traveled through time?"

Xie Zihao murmured in his heart that the weather in the world over there was abnormal for the past two years when he crossed over there, with frequent high temperatures in summer, and either rare snowfall or snowstorms in winter, and occasionally hail disasters in the Jiangnan area in May and June. unusual times.

It is still early summer, and the peak period has not yet been reached. Even so, the outdoor temperature is 32 degrees Celsius, which is about the same as the hottest time of the dry season in previous years.

People's feelings in such an environment can be imagined, especially those old blacks. Their developed sweat glands make their own strong smell even if they sprinkle three bottles of perfume to pickle people up, they can't cover it up. It has reached the horror of facing three meters against the wind and flying a hundred steps with the wind.

Not to mention someone like Xie Zihao who is a bit of a clean freak, even ordinary people will inevitably not be able to bear this kind of environment.

"I really envy the magic of the bubble head curse in magic novels. It's perfect to block the smell outside at this time!"

Fortunately, he was not unprepared. Covered by the irritating smell of cooling oil, and the crowd was mostly tourists from other places, it was not particularly crowded, so he could barely bear the discomfort and swept past the stalls one by one. None of them got his attention.

Flea markets usually have the most stalls selling second-hand clothing, electrical appliances, furniture and other daily necessities. In fact, there are usually many art dealers or antique dealers in larger flea markets, especially the Chinatown Flea Market. A place mainly for foreign tourists.

In addition, merchants who specialize in all kinds of second-hand stores, as well as surrounding residents will also sell items that are not used at home, as well as snacks and drinks. This has caused basically everything to be sold in the flea market.

As for why people from those shops would come to set up stalls, one is to increase some sales, and the other is that it is easier to sell goods quickly in the atmosphere here. On the stalls of the flea market, it can be sold for a high price of eight pounds or even ten pounds, and the other party feels that they have picked up a bargain.

This is the charm of the flea market. Not to mention ordinary people, there has always been gossip about celebrities and rich people who like to visit the flea market in the federation.

Most of those rich people are not doing it to save money, but to have fun.

Compared with other areas, the flea market in Chinatown also has some local characteristics, that is, there will be many products related to Chinese culture, which are relatively popular abroad. Objects that affect their liking for oriental culture.

Of course, Xie Zihao is not the first time brother here, and he can tell at a glance that many things here are fooling foreigners. To choose, you need to have a careful eye and have a certain degree of understanding of Tang culture.

Otherwise, just wait to be cheated!
Xie Zihao didn't have such concerns, because despite his face, he looked exactly like the young version of Keanu in his previous life, it was because the mother of this body was of mixed blood from Tang people and Eastern European immigrants, but in his heart, no matter which identity he was, he was real. A true middle-earth.

In addition, he is not interested in those ordinary commodities, but only stares at some antiques, calligraphy, paintings and artworks. There are many people like him in the crowd, and they basically have a heart of picking up the missing ones. here.

There are insiders like Xie Zihao who are professionals, and there are also many interested outsiders.

What those stall owners like most are laymen with little knowledge. Compared with professionals, they are not as good as they are. Compared with pure laymen, they can express some opinions. The vegetable addiction is still big, who will they cheat if they don't cheat?
It's a pity that although Xie Zihao looks young and fresh, his professionalism is not low. He doesn't even look at things that are fake at first glance, but he is also cautious about things that look real and he can't be sure Choose to give up.

It's not that he doesn't want to try to see if he can catch the leak, it's because his dry wallet doesn't allow him to do such uncertain things!

Half an hour later, Xie Zihao visited most of the stalls in the market. He thought that there might be no harvest today, so he finally found something he was interested in at an antique art booth.

It was a small spherical object made of silver, and Xie Zihao, who had a wealth of relevant knowledge, recognized the usefulness of this object at a glance.And it's exactly what he needs right now.

The stall owner sitting under the parasol of the booth is not from Tang, but a Latino mixed-race young man wearing a cowboy sun hat. This is a very common crowd in the southwest of the Federation. The other party looks about 25 or [-] years old. At a glance, sometimes it's hard to judge the real age of a Latino just by looking at it.

"How much?" Xie Zihao asked the price coldly, but he didn't appear overly eager.

Seeing someone asking for the price, the stall owner, the Latin brother, suddenly smiled, showing his teeth, and greeted him warmly in a tongue-rolling accent.

"Man, you really have a good eye. This is an aristocratic silver jewelry from the 120th century. It only costs [-] pounds, and you can take it home for collection..."

Xie Zihao ignored the stall owner's exaggerated introduction, and directly uttered two words:

"Eight pounds!"

The Latin boy who looked like a peddler suddenly choked, and realized that the person in front of him didn't look like a novice, but he immediately waved his hands exaggeratedly and said:
"Hey buddy, I'm an antique, does the antique know? At least a hundred pounds..."

After several rounds of bargaining, when Xie Zihao lowered the price to [-] pounds, the already hot Latin brother was also sweating at this time, and he couldn't let go of the price.

Xie Zihao also probably knew the other party's bottom line, and imitated the bargaining methods of the aunts he had seen in his previous life, calmly tightened the box on his back, turned around with his things in his hands and was about to leave, and finally bid:

"It's 28 pounds. I'll pay the most. If it doesn't work, I'll go to other stalls."

The stall owner looked hesitant, watching Xie Zihao turn around to leave, and finally stretched out his hand to stop Xie Zihao with the appearance of Erkang's hand.

"and many more!"

Sure enough, the means don't need to be new, as long as it works.Xie Zihao secretly smiled.

"OK, OK, let's sell it to you at a loss, who told you to know the goods!"

With the expression on the stall owner's face that I lost money and you made money, the two quickly concluded a deal, both looking like they were afraid that the other party would regret it.

"Hey man, I don't make any money from this business. I'm Santos. I'm from San Diego in the south. You can also call me Gold Tooth Santos. I always have something new here. You must buy it at the next flea market. Come take care of my business!"

Speaking of this, this one smiled and showed Xie Zihao a gold tooth set on the side of the canine.

Gold tooth Santos?Xie Zihao nodded to express that he remembered.As for not making money, isn't that a common phrase used by the bosses of Dongguo in the previous life?
Can't be true.

Sure enough, after the Latin brother waited for Xie Zihao to leave, this guy quickly changed his face, counting the banknotes in his hand, almost bursting into laughter.

"I made it, I made it..."
