The origin of the star lotus world

Chapter 2594 (3)

Chapter 2406 (3)

During the Double Twelve shopping festival in the Year of the Snake, the author bought two very small gold beads to match his existing bracelet beads. The price per gram plus the craftsmanship fee was over 1,200 yuan. Despite the high price, it was still a little cheaper than during the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Horse and in February and March.

Then consider that tiny gold Pixiu; converted to a price per gram, it would cost 1,100 yuan, which was expensive considering the market during the Year of the Snake. Looking at the market in the months leading up to the Year of the Horse, it wouldn't be considered a profit, but it was certainly decent.

Jin Huyue smiled kindly and asked, "Could you tell me about buying that gold Pixiu ornament? After all, this is the first time the author has spent money on gold ornaments in the mortal world. He used to always buy mid- to low-end jewelry and jade ornaments. I hope you can tell me in detail; I want to hear it."

He said he hoped the author would mention more about the Year of the Dragon and the Year of the Snake, since the Year of the Horse had only just begun, and he was mentioning it ahead of time. There will be plenty of opportunities to record things from the Year of the Horse in the future, and some experiences can be included in the Star Lotus story. The author can look back on it in the future, and he will too.

Hua Zhu said that Young Master Jin's suggestion was good, and they also wanted to hear about their master's shopping spree for high-end goods in the mortal world during the Year of the Snake.

She said that gold prices were relatively reasonable at that time, and she wished she had bought more gold jewelry. Later, similar items might have been more expensive.

I said that's fine, so let me tell you about a shopping trip I did during the Lunar New Year of the Snake.

That day, I had lunch, then washed the pots and dishes, and took a shower. Around 3 PM, I went to my usual shopping mall to see a movie, which was part of my plan.

I arrived early that day, and after buying the movie tickets, there was still almost an hour before I could enter the theater, unlike usual when I arrived several tens of minutes early.

Ten minutes or so before the main feature of the movie begins, cinema staff will check your ticket before you can go inside the cinema and find the numbered screening room to watch the movie.

I remember that the price of gold was already rising at that time, but the price of silver was still okay. So, I originally wanted to look at silver jewelry and buy a large sterling silver ring, which would only cost three or five hundred yuan.

My family suggested I buy gold jewelry, and I also saw articles online that gold jewelry is becoming very popular.

I went to a shop that had posters of female celebrities endorsing the brand. I had been to that shop before; they had a small, 18-carved gold necklace with tiny pearls in a starry sky design. I originally wanted to buy it for my family during the Year of the Dragon, when it cost around two thousand yuan, but I didn't. When the price of gold rose more rapidly, I went back to the shop to check on it, but it had already sold out.

A young female shop assistant saw me and my family looking at goods in the hallway outside the shop and said, "Welcome!" I had seen that person many times before.
