I was a fortune teller in 90

Chapter 441 The Price of Vanity

After breakfast, Dai Qing returned home, took a book and sat under the grape trellis to read for a while. She wondered whether she should find another stall on the overpass.
I'm used to setting up a stall in the capital, and suddenly when I have some free time, I always feel like something is missing.

Just as Dai Qing was thinking about whether she should ride her bike to find a place first, Juanzi came running over excitedly.

"Xiao Qing, I'm taking a day off today. Let's go shopping together, shall we? It's been autumn for a while now, and I haven't bought any new clothes. I opened my closet, but there's nothing I like."

Even so, her mother still accused her of being pretentious, saying that other girls only buy one piece of clothing every two or three years, but she has a whole closet full of them and is still not satisfied.

After listening to Juanzi's suggestion, Dai Qing thought about it and nodded directly.

"Okay, I was just thinking about going out for a walk, and you came at the right time."

The two reached an agreement, and Dai Qing took her on her bike to the clothing market.

After entering the 1990s, the Hong Kong style became stronger and stronger, and the clothing styles became more and more novel, especially popular among fashionable girls.

Dai Qing is not very interested in these clothing styles. Perhaps because of her job, she particularly likes Chinese clothing.

The things that our ancestors have passed down over the years are all fine products, from the styles to the fabrics, including the craftsmanship, they are all irresistible.

After a round of shopping, Juanzi chose a beige suit skirt. The skirt is long and reaches the ankles. It is made of a brushed material and is most suitable for spring and autumn.

Although she felt a little bit distressed by the price, Juanzi hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted her teeth and bought it.

Juanzi walked out of the store holding the clothes, feeling a little depressed.

"If my mom knew I bought clothes on impulse again, she would definitely scold me again."

The main reason was that as soon as she entered the store, she was attracted by this dress and couldn't give it up.

Looking at Juanzi's sad eyes, Dai Qing couldn't help laughing.

"If you want to be beautiful, you must have a strong heart. Aunt Zhang will just nag you a few times, she won't really beat you up."

"Of course I know this. My mom always makes a lot of noise but does little. But our family has been in a tight spot recently and my mom wants to save money so that she can apply for a house for my brother in the future. It's not good for me to be so extravagant."

"We've already bought it, so stop blaming yourself. How about we just withdraw now?"

Hearing Dai Qing's suggestion, Juanzi immediately shook her head and hugged the bag tightly in her arms.

"No, this is the outfit I am most satisfied with this year. I will never give it up."

"It's settled, isn't it? Money can't buy my willingness, so it's worth it to let Aunt Zhang scold you."

Dai Qing looked at her droopy face and laughed at her unceremoniously.

This girl has a good personality and is lively. She was raised by Aunt Zhang and has no ulterior motives. Her only hobby is to be vain. She chooses everything from a hairpin to a pair of shoes by herself.

As they were talking, the two walked to Mo Ran Yi Fang. Dai Qing stopped and looked through the glass wall at a modified cheongsam hanging in the window.

She remembered this store as she had once bought a set of Chinese-style clothes here.

Juanzi followed her gaze, patted her arm, and leaned close to her to remind her.

"Have you fallen in love with their styles? Although the clothes in this shop are unique, I always feel that the shop owner is not a good person, and I feel scared when I see him."

Hearing Juanzi's tone, Dai Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"That boss is pretty good. His appearance is given by his parents and cannot be changed. But he doesn't rely on his looks to make a living, so what is he afraid of?"

As long as the craftsmanship is good and the products are good, there will be no worries about lack of customers. She remembered that the shop owner's surname was Cao, and he even gave her a business card.

Now that she had come this far, she really wanted to customize two sets of autumn and winter clothes for herself.

When the door was opened, wind chimes rang. Cao Liang, who was sitting behind the counter, raised his head. The moment he saw Dai Qing, his eyes lit up and he walked around the counter.

"Ms. Dai, welcome."

"You know me?" Dai Qing was surprised. There were so many people coming in and out of the store every day, but the boss could recognize her at a glance. Did he have a photographic memory?

"My shop mainly sells handicrafts and Chinese clothing. Young people generally don't like them, but there are very few young girls like Miss Dai, so naturally they are very impressive."

Seeing Dai Qing's curiosity, Cao Liang explained and then pointed to the next cubicle.
"There are new autumn and winter styles in the compartment. Miss Dai, you can take a look at them. If you like any of them, you can try them out. If you don't like them, I have a catalog here and you can customize them, but you will have to wait a little while."

Dai Qing nodded and walked in with Juanzi. The compartment was a clothing showroom. Several sets of autumn and winter clothing were hung on the wooden racks against the wall.

One of the sets was a light blue, double-breasted plain satin dress with a silk lining and plum blossom buttons. She fell in love with it at first sight.

The other set is a light purple satin-woven dress with a slanting collar and quilted quilting, suitable for early winter.

The other styles are darker in color and not suitable for her age.

Dai Qing tried it on and found the light blue satin fitted her well. The quilted jacket was a little big, but she liked the style and color, so she ordered a set from the boss and picked it up half a month later.

"Okay, there's also a cape that goes with this brocade set. It's a slightly darker color, and it's perfect for the winter. Do you want to order it together?"

Cao Liang said this and turned the album to the page with the cloak and showed it to her.

It is a medium-sized style with pure white rabbit fur curled edges and twill brocade, and it looks really good.

Dai Qing asked about the price and decided on it since it was within an acceptable range.

When the two of them walked out of the store carrying their bags, Juanzi looked up at Dai Qing.

"You are really generous. It's so expensive, almost two thousand dollars, and you didn't even blink an eye?"

Oh my God, what kind of world is this? She has to go without food and water for a year.

"If I feed my whole family, I will definitely spend the money I earn on myself."

Dai Qing chuckled. A person should always live a more refined life. Besides, brocade fabrics are not cheap nowadays.

Dai Qing bought two bottles of soda, drank them and went home.

After entering the yard, Juanzi lay on the recliner holding her new clothes, "Ah... I am a little afraid to go home, what should I do?"

Dai Qing parked the car and poured her a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea. "The longer you delay, the more torture you will suffer. I suggest you turn yourself in to Aunt Zhang as soon as possible and ask for leniency."

Seeing her wailing while holding her clothes, Dai Qing couldn't help but want to laugh.

"You're right. It's a fight whether you stick your head out or hide your head. I'm leaving." Juanzi drank a glass of water and left in a tragic manner.

Dai Qing walked her to the door and watched her go home looking back every few steps. She smiled and was about to close the door when Du Aiqun came over and poked her head to look into the yard.

"Hey, Xiaoqing, I haven't seen you for a while. The grape season is over, and none of our neighbors got to eat any grapes this year. You can't finish eating all the grapes on such a big vine by yourself."

Hearing Du Aiqin's tone, Dai Qing frowned, "This year's grapes are all rotten, so they are all thrown away."
