Back in the dormitory, Gao Jie quickly found a set of branded down jackets. After putting on casual clothes, Gao Jie immediately became very sunny and handsome. However, Li Xiang was in trouble at this time. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find any decent casual clothes. In the end, Li Xiang could only put on a somewhat whitish down jacket. This down jacket was bought five years ago. Not only was it outdated in style, it was a little short when worn, and it had holes in many places.
"Li Xiang, are you going to go out wearing this down jacket?"
When the two were about to go out, Gao Jie looked back at Li Xiang and was startled.
"Haha, I only have this down jacket." Li Xiang responded awkwardly.
"Come on, take off your down jacket and pick something from my luggage bag."
With that said, Gao Jie pushed Li Xiang to his wardrobe, opened his luggage bag, and took out all his down jackets for Li Xiang to choose from. Seeing Gao Jie's enthusiasm, Li Xiang picked up a black and white down jacket and put it on. He looked in the mirror and found that it fit him perfectly.
"How do you like it? If you like it, I will give you this down jacket."
Gao Jie put the remaining clothes in his luggage bag and put them in the cabinet. Li Xiang raised his hand and looked at the fabric of his down jacket. He knew at a glance that this piece of clothing was worth a lot of money.
"Gao Jie, I'm afraid your clothes are not cheap. Why don't you just lend them to me for a day? I'll wash them and return them to you later."
"Hey! This dress isn't worth much. Besides, I've already worn this down jacket and I don't want it anymore. You can just wear it without giving it back to me."
Gao Jie was afraid that Li Xiang would reject him, so he said he didn't want the down jacket that Li Xiang was wearing.
"Gao Jie, I'm afraid this is not good. Don't worry, I will clean it up for you and return it to you later." Li Xiang didn't want to accept other people's things for no reason.
"Oh! Li Xiang, do you think we are brothers?" Gao Jie asked Li Xiang.
"Of course." Li Xiang looked at Gao Jie doubtfully.
"That's it, why are we talking about this between brothers? If I say there's no need to pay it back, there's no need to pay it back."
Li Xiang still wanted to refuse, but Gao Jie pushed him out directly. "Li Xiang, let's go. The platoon leader is probably waiting outside."
Afterwards, the two went out together. As soon as I reached the door, the queue leader happened to arrive.
"Hey! These two young guys look so handsome after changing into casual clothes."
It was the first time that Li Xiang was praised for his handsomeness, and he blushed instantly.
"Hehehe... Li Xiang, why are you so embarrassed?" Seeing Li Xiang blushing, the platoon leader laughed and teased.
"Platoon leader, Li Xiang said that after finally going out, he must dress handsomely. Maybe we can meet him by chance."
Gao Jie knew that this was the first time for Li Xiang to wear such fashionable clothes, and he didn't buy the clothes himself, so he blushed, so Gao Jie took the initiative to smooth things over for Li Xiang.
"Fuck you, I'm not as carefree as you."
Li Xiang kicked Gao Jie on the butt.
…
The three of them came to the small town. The streets of the small town were filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. People wore new clothes and walked out of their homes one after another to buy new year's goods on the street. Walking on the streets of the small town, I saw lanterns and ribbons hung everywhere on both sides of the streets. The entrances of every shop were colorfully decorated. Various New Year stalls were densely packed, filled with various foods and holiday supplies, attracting visitors. for people who come to shop.
Walking to a stall selling roast duck, Gao Jie immediately stopped and was attracted by the smell of roast duck.
"Platoon leader, can I buy a roast duck?" Gao Jie asked the platoon leader for instructions.
The platoon leader turned around and saw that Gao Jie was salivating with greed, so he said: "Go, go back quickly, I'll go to the front to have a look first, and come to me after you buy the roast duck."
"okay!"
Gao Jie pulled Li Xiang and happily ran to the roast duck stall.
"Boss, how much does a roast duck cost?"
The shop owner took a look at the customers in front of him and knew from Gao Jie's hairstyle and face that he was a soldier stationed nearby. The shop owner knew that soldiers were the best earners because they didn't bargain much, so he immediately greeted Gao Jie warmly.
"Young man, you are really discerning. Take a look at the roast ducks here. They are roasted to a crispy skin and tender meat. They taste more delicious. The price is not expensive, only forty yuan a piece. "
Oh my gosh! Forty yuan a piece, the boss really knows how to "rip off" customers. Li Xiang remembers that in his hometown, the price was only twenty yuan a piece at most.
"Boss, isn't forty yuan a piece too expensive? Our hometown only sells it for twenty yuan."
Seeing the store owner's "robbing" behavior, Li Xiang was a little unconvinced and walked up to argue with the store owner.
"What? Twenty yuan a piece, are you kidding? You can't even buy a live duck for twenty yuan, not to mention that I have to process it here. Young man, if you can't afford it, then don't Buy it, I’m not forcing you to buy it.”
The store owner was very unconvinced that Li Xiang came to make trouble and glared at Li Xiang with contempt.
"Twenty yuan a piece is too expensive. You are obviously ripping off customers. I can call and report you."
The shop owner's ridicule made Li Xiang very unhappy. Li Xiang was bound to continue to argue with the shop owner today.
"Go, go, I won't sell you, okay, don't stop me from doing business."
Hearing Li Xiang say he wanted to report the matter, the shop owner fell out on the spot and came out and pushed Li Xiang and Gao Jie away from his stall.
Seeing that the roast duck was about to fly away, Gao Jie quickly took out the money, handed it to the shop owner, and said with a smile: "Boss, forty is forty, I'll buy it."
However, at this time, the store owner no longer wanted to do this business, and responded resolutely: "Young man, don't you want to report it? No matter how much money you give me, I won't sell it today. You can buy it elsewhere."
It seemed that the shop owner was so angry with Li Xiang that he couldn't eat the roast duck anymore, so Gao Jie had to leave angrily.
"Li Xiang, you are serious. Isn't it just 20 yuan more expensive? Do you need to worry about it so much? Look, now that they don't sell it, they don't have to eat the roast duck."
Gao Jie didn't get the roast duck and complained about Li Xiang along the way.
"Gao Jie, let me tell you, the roast duck he sells is indeed very expensive. In our hometown, the roast duck only costs 20 yuan a piece."
Li Xiang still insisted on his reasons.
"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. Anyway, the roast duck has already flown away from your mouth, so there's no point arguing with you anymore."
Gao Jie shook his head helplessly, then caught up with the platoon leader and started shopping for new year's goods with the platoon leader.
"You two are back, didn't you say you were going to buy roast duck? Where's the roast duck?" Seeing the two of them coming back empty-handed, a platoon leader asked in confusion.
"Hi! The store owner won't sell anymore." Gao Jie helplessly spread his hands.
"What's going on? If you say you don't buy it, I can believe it, but if you say you don't sell it, I don't believe it."
The long queue is very strange. There are only customers who don't buy anything in the world, and there are no stores that don't sell anything.
"Haha..." Gao Jie sneered, "Platoon leader, you have to ask Li Xiang the reason for this."
The platoon leader looked at Li Xiang, wanting to know the reason.
"Platoon leader, the owner of the roast duck shop is so evil that he sells a roast duck for forty yuan. In our hometown, it only sells for twenty yuan at most. I said I would call to report it, and then the shop owner refused. Sold." Li Xiang explained.
"Oh, so that's what happened." The platoon leader finally figured out what happened and explained to Li Xiang. "Li Xiang, the prices here may be different from yours. The roast duck here seems to be sold for 35 yuan a piece, and the shop owner only charges an extra five yuan at most."
"Ah?" Li Xiang opened his mouth wide.
"Okay, if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. There is food for you tonight, so hurry up and continue shopping for New Year's goods with me." A platoon leader comforted Gao Jie.
