This wasn't the first ti coming back to the old ho from Jinling. Last ti, Tan Wenbin had even brought Zhou Yunyun back alone, so there was no need to bring Jinling specialties again.
Two sets of formal wear were selected for Grandmaster, along with two pairs of shoes.
Luckily, Yin ng wasn't here; otherwise, she could witness firsthand what true bargaining is.
Li Zhiyuan didn't care about this bit of money, but that didn't an he enjoyed being taken advantage of and then insulted by the shopkeeper in the store after reminiscing about him.
The main thing is, in this era's clothing market, the atmosphere is ostentatious, and the price tags seem almost like a joke.
Only inexperienced rookies would cut the price in half; the experienced ones first erase the last "0" before cutting it in half.
The shopkeepers know you want to haggle, so they deliberately write the price tag high, not only increasing their profit margin but also satisfying the custor's emotional need to haggle.
However, Li Zhiyuan could tell the wholesale price just by a few conversations, then directly offered the wholesale price plus a bit for labor.
Because he was so accurate, accurate enough to leave the shopkeeper stunned, feeling embarrassed to perform "Wow, this price is too low, I can't even cover my cost," and only assud that this kid's family was also in the trade business, even thinking of making connections.
Xiong Shan and Lihua followed the young man buying clothes the whole ti, and the impact of this scene on them was trendous.
The future Dragon King, buying clothes personally, and haggling?
If this were said aloud, people in Jianghu would not believe it.
Li Zhiyuan believed Li Lan wouldn't believe it either.
In fact, he was inherently resistant to doing these things, but it's at the surpassable stage.
After experiencing the Dream Ghost incident, Li Zhiyuan felt that his condition was further stabilized.
After buying clothes and shoes, Li Zhiyuan went to buy so of Grandmaster's favorite cigarettes and alcohol.
Not letting Xiong Shan help carry, Li Zhiyuan walked out of the departnt store doors with the items himself, standing on the steps, facing the sunlight outside, he couldn't help but feel a bit dizzy.
He still wasn't suitable for doing such tasks, but he had to do it.
Li Zhiyuan considered if he should also buy clothes for Li Weihan and Cui Guiying, the result of this thought was not to buy.
Although this seed a bit heartless, the truth is, the feeling of distress when buying for Grandmaster, he could overco.
But when buying for his grandpa and grandma, the image of their happy expression receiving the gift would make him start to break out in a cold sweat.
If it was all an act, it wouldn't matter at all, but the issue was he was trying not to act as much as possible now.
In fact, he could try to overco this kind of distress as well.
Just in Grandmaster's eyes, all his money was given by him, using his money to buy things for others, Grandmaster wouldn't feel comfortable, even if he didn't say it on the surface.
However, since this level of thought was reached, not buying wouldn't be appropriate either.
Otherwise, even Li Lan would do better than him, Li Lan would know to regularly send living expenses and send gifts during festivals, even if it's her secretary handling the arrangents for sure.
Li Zhiyuan pursed his lips, deciding to first go back to Grandpa's house and then ask for Grandmaster's consent before buying clothes for grandpa and grandma.
By changing the order, Grandmaster would have no grudge in his heart, only thinking he is understanding and filial.
In any case, the matter must be personally handled by himself, this feeling of distress needs to be experienced and cannot be avoided.
After getting into the car, Li Zhiyuan lowered his head, reaching out to knead his brow.
He found that contemplating and deliberating these familial gift-giving relationships was more taxing than pondering how to handle the Langhua incident with Jiang Shui.
Liu Changping started the car, returning to Shinan Town, entering Si Yuan Village.
The village roads had been widened from the original gravel to a two-way concrete road, and the path leading from the village road to Grandpa's house had been refurbished, so now there's no need to park the car in the fields; it can directly drive to the yard at Grandpa's house.
Xiong Shan and Lihua arrived with an exceedingly excited and nervous pilgrimage mindset.
Seeing the car actually driving into a residential house in the village, both of them showed astonishnt in their eyes, which soon turned into a solemn deanor.
This is true heritage, not hidden and cloaked, but tranquil and natural.
If it truly were so ancestral secret realm, it would be rather a less sophisticated move.
Li Zhiyuan got out of the car, slightly puzzled about not hearing Grandmaster's calling voice.
Before he ca back, Tan Wenbin had called Aunt Zhang's small store; Grandmaster knew he would co back today and would definitely wait for him at ho.
On the first floor, Xiao Yingying was sitting inside coloring the Paperman.
Ever since she ca, Li Sanjiang's paper craftsmanship business had been exceptionally prosperous, because the Papern made here look more real and detailed.
Xiao Yingying put down her brush, turned around, and looked over.
Her attention was imdiately attracted by Xiong Shan and Lihua.
The couple imdiately recognized that this was a deadfall!
Even having retired twice from Jianghu, after an earlier life of walking it, the instinctual reaction was still there.
Xiao Yingying also paused in deanor, standing up quickly, backing up to the corner of the wall, then swiftly leaping to climb up, reaching the upper corner.
Li Zhiyuan opened his mouth to ask: "Where is my Grandmaster?"
Xiong Shan and Lihua imdiately restrained their aura, showing an embarrassed look.
Xiao Yingying also ca down from the beam, returning to sit on the previous stool, picking up the paintbrush, and continued coloring the Paperman while saying:
"Drunk and asleep."
Li Zhiyuan went upstairs to the second floor, while Xiong Shan and Lihua stayed downstairs, and Liu Changping squatted on the yard's footpath smoking.
Opening the bedroom door, Li Zhiyuan saw Li Sanjiang lying on the bed, snoring loudly.
