Taking Zhang Yadan, Shu Guan bought a pen at the stationery counter, and then Shu Guan took her towards the escalator of the mall.
Dafu Department Store should be said to be the largest and most luxurious department store in Jingcheng. Each floor covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters. The floor is covered with white tiles, and there are uniform window counters on both sides. The windows are also specially designed. Decorated with stained glass, it is filled with a variety of merchandise.
The first, second, and third floors are department stores, while the fourth floor has a cafe, cinema, ice rink, children's play area, and an open-air restaurant on the roof. You can sit up and have a meal and enjoy the beautiful view of the concession and the river.
Of course, the department stores of this era cannot be compared with the supermarket complexes that Shu Guan traveled back in time, but in fact, they have everything they should have.
Walking to the escalator that connected each floor, Zhang Yadan's eyes burst out with a light of novelty and surprise, and for a moment she was afraid to go up.
"Brother Mazi, are you really not going to fall in there?"
Although he saw the people coming and going standing motionless after stepping onto the escalator, and they went up to the second floor by themselves, Zhang Yadan still asked with some worry.
"Don't worry, this escalator is very safe."
Shu Guan smiled and encouraged:
"How about you stand in front and I stand in the back. I will hold you up if something happens."
Zhang Yadan glanced at Shu Guan, bit her lip, and finally plucked up the courage to walk towards the escalator, stepping onto the escalator carefully.
Shu Guan, on the other hand, was one step behind, standing behind Zhang Yadan. Zhang Yadan's figure was becoming more and more attractive now. Looking from behind, the exquisite and graceful curves made people linger, but Shu Guan was not paying attention. After one glance, he immediately looked away.
When they got to the second floor, Zhang Yadan stood there for a few seconds, then suddenly she giggled and ran towards the escalator going down next to her.
"I'm going to sit there again."
Shu Guan laughed dumbly.
After Zhang Yadan came up, Shu Guan took her to the cosmetics counter and bought her a few boxes of cream. Shu Guan was not familiar with these things, so he picked a brand that Rong Miao usually used.
In this era, even if this kind of thing is of good quality, it will be more expensive, but it is not to the extent that it has become a luxury product specially harvested for IQ tax like the era when Shu Guan traveled back in time.
A few bottles of the best ice cream on the counter were not too expensive. Zhang Yadan opened a box and smelled it, then she held the bottles in her arms as if she had found a treasure.
Then Shu Guan took Zhang Yadan for a walk around the department store building, and then took her to the coffee shop on the fourth floor and ordered her a cup of coffee.
"Girl, wait for me here for a while, I'll be back soon."
"Brother Mazi, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to buy some more stuff."
Shu Guan was going to buy himself a watch. He had been thinking about this for a long time. He had no money before, but he finally had money a few days ago, but he never had time.
As for the reason why he didn't take Zhang Yadan with him, Shu Guan also wanted to buy one for Rong Miao. Speaking of which, he had never given her an expensive gift.
And if Zhang Yadan is around, this girl is very sensitive and will definitely be a little unhappy.
Then Shu Guan returned to the third floor. The products sold on the third floor were all relatively expensive products, such as clocks, gramophones, telephones, jewelry, etc.
The layout of the third floor was no longer a counter, but a storefront. Shu Guan found a watch dealer named "Hengdeli" and walked in.
Because it seems that this watch store has the largest store and the largest number of goods.
Standing behind the counter was an old man wearing a long gown, wearing glasses, and a gentle face. There was also a young man who looked like an apprentice, also wearing a long gown. Both of them were polite and polite in every move they made.
In this era, the service staff in a business store that buys high-end goods do not rely on beautiful women to attract customers, but rely on the word "professional".
There were not many customers in the clock shop, only two or three customers, quietly choosing at the counter.
When Shu Guan walked in, the old man raised his head, smiled and nodded at him, and then continued to explain to the other customers.
Another young apprentice came forward.
"Sir, welcome to our store. We have famous watches from more than ten countries in the Western Continent, as well as watches made by Dahua itself. However, the movements are all imported, and the accuracy of the time is no better than that of imported ones. How much difference?"
"I wonder what kind of watch this gentleman needs, so I can introduce it to you in detail."
“The more accurate the timing, the better, so let’s take a look at the imported ones!”
Shu Guan stated his request.
He buys a watch so that the calculation of palm meridian can be more accurate, so he naturally needs a watch with more accurate time.
As for watches, things like watches cannot be made by relying on feelings, but require the accumulation of time and refined craftsmanship. At this point, Dahua's own manufacturing is indeed inferior to those of the powerful countries in the Western Continent.
"Okay, sir."
The young apprentice brought Shu Guan to a row of counters on the left. Under the transparent glass windows, there were dazzling watches.
The apprentice began to introduce the watches of different brands in detail, such as the place of origin, the performance of the movement, the material of the case, the origin and history of the brand, etc., and there was no nervous pause at all. Shuguan, who chose based on price, couldn't help but listen carefully for a while.
This kind of shopping is much better than those shopping experiences that rely solely on some obscure erotic temptations.
Of course, in the end, Shu Guan chose the cheapest watch. All he had to do was keep it accurate. As for what jewelry and diamonds were inlaid, whether the watch case was made of gold, and whether the dial was made of hand-polished crystal. Neither is necessary.
This is a watch made by Ruishiguo, the watch kingdom in the Western Continent. It is not a well-known famous watch, but it has a very long history. According to the introduction of the young apprentice just now, the watches of this brand are all family workshops, passed down from father to son, but With unique craftsmanship in the production of the movement, the quality level of the movement will never be worse than those of luxurious watches.
Calf leather strap, stainless steel case, tempered glass dial, plain white surface, simple and clear design, Shu Guan is very satisfied with everything about this watch, except for the price.
Although two hundred silver dollars is the cheapest watch on this counter, it would be better if it could be cheaper.
“I’d also like to see women’s watches again.”
Then Shu Guan said again.
"Sir, what kind of ladies' watch do you want?"
"I want to see the most expensive women's watch here."
When buying a watch for yourself, the price is naturally the most important, but when buying a gift for Rong Miao, the price is the least important, of course, provided that he can afford it.
The young apprentice glanced at Shu Guan curiously, because when he was choosing his watch just now, he didn't look like a rich man.
At this time, the few customers in the store had already left. The old man in a long gown came over after hearing this and took out an exquisite wooden box from a cabinet behind him.
"Sir, you can take a look at this watch."
As he spoke, he opened the box and saw an extremely exquisite and luxurious women's watch inside.
The light blue crystal case is surrounded by diamonds, and the design is elegant and charming. When Shu Guan saw it at first sight, he felt that if this watch was worn on Rong Miao's hand, it would perfectly complement her temperament.
"How much?"
Then Shu Guan asked immediately.
"Five thousand silver dollars."
The old man said with a smile.
"Originally, this was ordered by another lady, but she called the day before yesterday and said that due to some accidents, she could no longer ask for this watch, so I will put it out for sale."
Five thousand silver dollars?
Shu Guan was slightly startled.
Seeing his expression, the old man smiled again and said:
"Sir, this price is already very fair. If you were in Shanghai, this watch would definitely cost you more than 10,000 silver dollars. I can guarantee that you won't find a better women's watch than this in Jingcheng. "
Shu Guan couldn't say whether he believed or not believed what the old man said. He was just calculating his own net worth.
Shu Guan had not used the 20,000 silver dollars earned from Xu Pingxi before today.
...For those children in the village, the tuition fee for going from elementary school to junior high school is about 10,000 silver dollars, and this money cannot be touched...
Calculating it this way, I still have ten thousand silver dollars, which is not something I can't afford. Although this watch has used up half of my net worth in one go, it doesn't matter if I buy something for Rong Miao.
Shu Guan made a decision quickly.
But at this moment, several more women walked in outside the door of the "Hengdeli" watch store.
Several women are already quite old, but they can still be regarded as charming. From the look of their clothes, you can tell that they are the wives of wealthy families, and among them, the one in the center is surrounded by stars. The woman looked the most noble. Although she was not the prettiest in appearance, she had the proudest look on her face. Several other women looked at her with slightly flattering smiles.
In fact, in this kind of social circle among noble ladies, it is easy for people to tell at a glance whose family has more money and whose husband has a higher official position.
The ladies walked into the watch shop laughing and chatting all the way, and then they immediately saw the open box on the counter and the exquisite and luxurious women's watch in the box.
Then the eyes of those ladies suddenly lit up.
The lady, who was surrounded by other women in the center and stood in position C, quickly walked a few steps to the counter, took out the watch from the box without any explanation, and looked at it carefully.
The ladies next to it all praised how beautiful this watch was and how it matched the woman's identity and temperament.
The woman seemed very happy to hear that, then she raised her head and said to the old man in a long gown:
"I want this watch."
She didn't even ask the price of the watch.
This shows that she likes this watch very much, but it also shows that she is really rich.
Shu Guan next to him sighed immediately.
I didn't do any calculations before going out today, and I didn't expect that my luck was really bad.
As a cultivator who is above the mundane world, he really has no interest in playing this kind of pretending game, especially with such a few vulgar women, he is even less interested.
