102: Chapter 102: Human-shaped Mink Coat Candied Chocolate (Extra for the Alliance Hierarch Sheng Ye) 102: Chapter 102: Human-shaped Mink Coat Candied Chocolate (Extra for the Alliance Hierarch Sheng Ye) Li Mumu spent five US dollars to obtain an amulet from the Temple Priest’s hands.
In actuality, it was just a Concentric Knot woven with red string, hanging a few little pearls the size of green peas.
Not considering the cost of production, it does look pretty good when worn as a bracelet.
Five US dollars…
for that price, you could buy more than ten pounds of this red string!
The old lady looked kind-faced but showed no rcy in her dealings, completely ignoring Li Mumu’s resentful gaze and even patting her head while praising how cute the little girl was.
Do I need you to tell whether I’m cute or not?
Li Mumu thought to herself, if it weren’t for the sake of my dear dad today, we would have had a problem.
How dare you try to fleece !
But there was no other way; the Hall of Peace was known for having this level of pricing.
Li Mumu found it expensive, but for the average person wanting to get one, it might not even be possible.
Mu Yuming certainly knew his daughter’s character; he never skimped on her allowance.
The main reason was that she had inherited her mother’s bad temper.
She generally didn’t provoke others first, but similarly couldn’t tolerate those who ca seeking trouble.
In the Chinese zodiac, she’d be classified as a landmine.
He didn’t yet know that the Li Mumu of today was no longer the sa Li Mumu of the past.
The landmine had evolved into a four-clawed terror robot.
As compensation, Mu Yuming covered all his daughter’s expenses at the candy store, letting her choose whatever she wanted.
However, Li Mumu did not buy much candy; the candies of this era lacked the variety of additives from future generations and had an odd taste almost reminiscent of chewing on leather boots.
Because the industrial sugar-making technology was not advanced enough, so chemical agents remained after the decolorization process.
Even the flavorings and colorants were so crude that they were hardly appetizing.
Considering the Federal Governnt’s monopoly on technology and its dark history, such as glowing carbonated drinks and gummy bears, Li Mumu’s interest in the candy store wasn’t that high.
She was no longer a child.
“I want to buy chocolate.”
Relatively speaking, buying chocolate was a safer option, especially dark chocolate, which is high in calories, easy to carry, and more preservation-friendly than milk chocolate.
Most importantly, the production process for this type of food is very simple and hasn’t changed much even after a hundred years.
The fewer the steps, the less the technology.
This was all a rational choice from an experienced survival gar, not because Wendy only eats dark chocolate and doesn’t enjoy candies.
After spending twelve US dollars for a large, almost ten-pound bag of dark chocolate, the best-selling “Eagle Brand,” Li Mumu hugged the package in her arms, feeling a genuine sense of heavy happiness.
Only naive primary school children would need those flashy but insubstantial skin decorations.
Only truly mature gars know the joy of being part of the hoarding hamster club.
Mu Yuming was also shopping; he bought several boxes of ginseng.
The ginseng produced by the Federal Governnt was white and large and affordable; its dostic market performance was consistently good.
He wasn’t very familiar with dostic conditions but knew that if you had to give a gift, you couldn’t go wrong with ginseng.
Carrying their large and small packages, the father and daughter headed ho.
On the way, they passed a street that looked sowhat familiar to Li Mumu.
It seed to be the sa place where the incident occurred last night.
In the Real World, the sa location on this street housed a fur rchant owned by Chinese People.
From appearances alone, there seed to be no traces of vandalism or arson.
It is said that when Chinese people first ca to Saifo, they were deeply humiliated by the local whites, finding it very difficult to make ends et.
But now, life’s pressures have significantly decreased.
In the police stations, courts, and governnt institutions of Saifo City, the proportion of Chinese people has been growing.
Without anyone protecting and indulging them, those arrogant white thugs have beco foolish and slow, no longer possessing their forr prestige.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is human nature.
Mu Yuming noticed Li Mumu’s gaze and stopped to ask, “I’ve heard it’s very cold back ho in the winter, so cold it could freeze off your nose.
How about I buy you a winter coat?”
Are you talking about Mohe?
Li Mumu wanted to argue, but upon reflection, she couldn’t be too sure herself.
After all, she had always lived in air-conditioned rooms from a young age, with heating in the winter…
The sa conditions might not be available in the Real World during this era.
Entering the shop, they were greeted by a woman running the business.
Upon seeing Mu Yuming, she subconsciously smiled and approached to greet him, “Sir, are you here to buy clothes?
You’re in luck, our store is having a sale these days!”
April and May are the off-season for the fur business, and the furs in the store were leftovers from the previous year, nothing special.
It was quite normal to have a discount promotion.
Mu Yuming casually pointed at a black leather coat and asked, “How much for this one?”
The woman smiled and said, “If you’re serious about buying, you can have it for thirty-five.”
“Ah?”
Hearing the price, Mu Yuming was taken aback.
Although he was not very sensitive to market prices, he knew that for a real leather coat, this was not just a discount but more like a clearance sale.
Normally, such good material, even if worn for two years, could still fetch around twenty dollars at a pawnshop.
It was so cheap, he wondered what the catch was and beca hesitant to buy it.
The woman noticed his hesitation and hurriedly explained, “Don’t get wrong, sir, we’ve been in business here for over a decade, we’re an established brand, and we absolutely don’t have quality issues.
Just yesterday, our boss had a sudden ergency and was sent to the hospital.
As a woman who doesn’t fully understand business, I dare not ask for more from you.
Just give the wholesale price.
If you find it unsuitable, you can bring it back for an exchange.”
Mu Yuming nodded, not finding it strange.
He often ca across these kind-hearted female shop owners when he was out and about.
“Then I’ll take this one, and pick out a pair of leather shoes as well.”
Mu Yuming looked around and, picking up a mink coat, asked Li Mumu, “How about this one?”
Heh, the aesthetic of a straight man.
The last ti Li Mumu saw such a purely white mink coat without any other colors, it was worn by a favored concubine in a popular palace drama on the internet.
They say a woman should dress to charm, adorning herself in filial piety.
Wearing this kind of white fur coat and standing in the snow, there’s no need to say anything, as she would exude an aroma of fragrant tea.
n really do have a taste for this.
And I am no exception!
Li Mumu didn’t actually have any objections to the mink coat, but she felt it could lead to social suicide if word got out.
Northeasterners wearing mink isn’t wrong, their winters reach minus thirty or forty degrees, and it’s a matter of survival.
But we’re not returning to the Northeast, are we?
Dad, are you misunderstanding the temperature differences in the country?
But it seed Mu Yuming had already made up his mind, “If you don’t like it, I’ll buy it for your mom.”
A man with a full wallet talks that confidently.
The eager shop owner kept fanning the flas, “Miss, you couldn’t find anything more suitable than this white mink.
I also have a matching hat, also white mink.
That was the most popular style among the Rakshasa last year…
why don’t you try it on?”
