Look at the silver jewelry in that store. The salesperson said that those items are on sale with a 20% discount, and the price after the discount is less than 20 yuan per gram.

The price was a little higher than similar products sold in online stores, but not too high, as silver jewelry had already seen price increases at that time.

Looking at the platinum jewelry in the store, there were only price tags, not prices calculated by weight. Some were priced similarly to gold, and the items were very expensive. I heard that discounts were minimal, and some sellers didn't offer any discounts at all.

The store's brand seemed to have relatively low prices online, but the prices were quite high in the physical store. I heard that many of the stores are franchises, which explains the price differences.

After buying my items, I went to look at other stores. There was a shop that specialized in silver jewelry, and they had a 100-gram silver necklace priced at a little over a thousand yuan. The price was reasonable, similar to some other jewelry items online, and the pricing was acceptable.

My family told me that silver jewelry like that might become dull and lose its shine over time, making it less attractive.

The female shop assistant said that sterling silver jewelry that is worn frequently needs proper care. You can use a jewelry cloth to wipe the silver jewelry regularly. Some shops have electric ultrasonic cleaners that can perform high-intensity cleaning.

Some of the silver rings in the store were quite expensive, some costing five or six hundred yuan. If calculated by the price per gram, they would cost as much as one hundred yuan per gram, far exceeding the price per gram of silver jewelry at the time. That was really too unreasonable.

The saleswoman with glasses told me that some items are handmade and have high craftsmanship, which naturally adds to their value and makes them more expensive. For more affordable items, she suggested looking at larger necklaces and bracelets, which are reasonably priced and not expensive compared to similar products in department stores.

Having already bought gold jewelry that day, I had no budget left for silver jewelry, so I left.

As we were leaving the mall, I told my family I would give them 500 yuan and ask them to add another 200 yuan. I mentioned that the small gold Pixiu was quite nice, and my family agreed to this arrangement. They said it would be good to buy a small gold ornament for the Chinese New Year.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the Year of the Snake, the author used the budget originally intended for buying a new AI smartphone to buy gold jewelry. He spent over 2,100 yuan on a 2.69-gram gold ring, which is pure gold, the highest purity gold product available today. However, its buyback price is only 10 yuan per gram higher than that of 99% pure gold.

Jin Huyue said that the author had mentioned this to him in a previous private conversation, and he hoped to hear details about purchasing the small gold ring. He also mentioned buying a small platinum diamond ring during the Year of the Dragon, and asked if that would be helpful.

Upon hearing Jin Huyue's words, the four Celestial Gods—Fan Xingkong, Mo Di, and the others—exchanged glances but said nothing.

These distinguished guests are waiting for their hosts to speak, and they will listen patiently.

I mentioned that some things would be recorded in the Star Lotus Stories later. Now, I'll finish recounting the story of visiting the temple fair during the Lunar New Year of the Horse. What started as a simple matter of acquiring milligram-level gold jewelry as souvenirs led to other things, and the story kept growing. But this arrangement is still acceptable. The Star Lotus Stories have ample space to record the author's life in the mortal world.

That day, after visiting the playground, we went to check out the shopping shops. There were quite a few shops lined up along one street.

I saw a small money tree ornament with a golden hue and asked what it was made of.

The female shopkeeper said it was made of aluminum oxide. She also said the shop had auspicious items made of glass, wood, plastic, and other materials, which you could take a look at.
