Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 67: Encounter at the Gold Shop
Watching his father walk out the door, Lu Feng glanced at his mother who was packing up, said hello, and went out.

The home is only three kilometers away from Qinghua Road, the busiest street in the county. When Lv Feng got off the tricycle just after seven o'clock, the street was already bustling with people.

Lu Feng walked into a "Chow Tai Fook" with a clear purpose.

It was the end of the year and there were quite a few people in the store. Lu Feng was dressed as a student, so everyone thought he was here with his parents and no one greeted him.

It was not until he opened his mouth to greet the salesperson next to him that he smiled apologetically and said, "Handsome boy, do you want to buy something too?"

"Buy some jewelry for my mother." Lu Feng has always been a simple and straightforward person.

"Oh? Great!" The fat salesperson didn't expect that it was actually a customer. "Which one do you want to see? A necklace or earrings?"

Lu Feng looked around and pointed at a bracelet with a label of more than 50 grams, "Look at this."

Fatty Xiao smiled and said, "Handsome boy, this one weighs 52 grams. If you like it, you can take a look at the one next to it, which is more affordable."

Lu Feng naturally knew what she was thinking.

For a middle school student, being able to afford something worth several thousand dollars is already pretty good.

This one weighs more than 20 grams, looks very exquisite, and the price is more than half lower.

"It's okay, let me see it."

"Okay." The fat salesman quickly and carefully pulled out the item and handed it to Lu Feng. "This is made using the ancient method. The labor cost alone is 25 yuan per gram."

Lu Feng took it in his hand, put it on casually, and said to her: "This feels a little stingy."

The bracelet weighs more than 50 grams, and the solid part is actually very small.

"Let me see the one hundred gram one." Lu Feng saw the largest solid bracelet inside and pointed at it.

The fat salesman glanced at Lu Feng, obviously somewhat reluctant.

Although the current price of gold is only about 130 yuan per gram, it will cost 160 yuan including the labor cost.

One hundred grams would cost 16,000 yuan. How could a student buy such an expensive thing for his mother?

Moreover, the young man in front of him doesn’t look like a child from a wealthy family. His clothes look like they have been worn for several years.

But she took the bracelet out anyway.

Lu Feng took it in his hand and weighed it, and immediately said with satisfaction: "This is not bad. 16200, right?"

"Yes, if you're willing, we can give you a 25% discount on the labor cost." The fat salesperson gave the routine introduction.

"15100? How about you just round it off to ?" Lu Feng thought, the hundred less could be considered as the round trip fare, and the extra money could be used to buy a cup of milk tea.

Haven't had a drink in a long time.

Seeing how serious Lv Feng was, the fat salesperson asked with some disbelief: "Are you sure?"

She actually used a respectful title.

Lu Feng felt a little sad in his heart. The people in the small county are more or less different from those in the provincial capital. When he went to the BMW store himself, the people there were very enthusiastic from beginning to end.

"Sure." Lu Feng said.

The salesperson's eyes lit up. "Okay, then please tell me what size you want."

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that this kind of ancient bracelet needed to know the size of the bracelet. He never knew what size bracelet his mother wore.

Lu Feng thought about it and realized that maybe even his mother herself might not know. But what he knew was that his mother was tall and her arms and palms were not much different from his. As long as he could wear it, it should fit her too, at most it would be a little bigger.

"Just follow my size." Lu Feng decided.

Soon, Lu Feng tried on the bracelet, turned around and looked at the other jewelry next to it, and picked one of each.

In less than half an hour, there were more than two hundred grams of gold in the wooden plate in front of him.

"The total is 28,500 yuan. Would you like to pay by card or cash?" The fat salesperson looked at Lu Feng.

"Swipe the card, pack it up for me first, I'll see if there's anything else." Lu Feng saw that there were gold bars for sale nearby, and they only added a two-dollar service fee each time, thinking that these might be more suitable for investment. "Okay." The fat woman was busy packing, and she was already very happy in her heart. She didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise today.

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm not worthy of you?" As I was watching, suddenly a loud female voice yelled in the store.

Dozens of people in the store looked sideways, and Lv Feng also looked in the direction of the quarrel. When he saw the familiar figure, Lv Feng frowned. How could it be such a coincidence?

Lu Hui?

I actually met my elder brother here.

Lu Hui's face was flushed at this time. He carefully pulled a woman who was only 1.6 meters tall and said something flatteringly.

The woman obviously didn't buy it and her voice was still as loud as thunder.

"Marriage is only once in a woman's life. Is this how you treat me? I can tolerate it if you buy me a hollow bracelet. But you are going to save money and buy a hollow necklace? Are you going to give me hollow earrings and rings later?"

Lu Feng pulled her arm and carefully said, "Keep your voice down. Didn't you not bring enough money?"

Lu Hui knew that it was not because he did not bring enough, but because his family was worried about this matter. The 50,000 yuan betrothal gift was not settled yet, and now he wanted 10,000 or 20,000 yuan worth of hardware. How could he afford it?

Just now after the meal, Lu Xiangdong only secretly gave him 10,000 yuan and told him clearly that there was no more.

He could only try to save as much as possible. After all, he had spent almost all his earnings this year.

"If you don't have enough money, then why did you bring me here?" The woman didn't give him any face at all.

Lu Hui felt so ashamed. He could feel the strange looks from people around him and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Lu Feng originally wanted to turn around and pretend that he saw nothing, but who knew that Lu Hui was so sharp-eyed.

"Ah Feng, why are you here?"

"Brother! What a coincidence. Are you bringing your sister-in-law here to buy jewelry?" Lu Feng knew he couldn't avoid it, so he could only respond.

"Why are you here too?" Lu Hui asked.

Lu Feng said truthfully: "Come and see if there is any jewelry suitable for my mother."

"Second Aunt is already so old, why would she need jewelry?" Lu Hui rolled his eyes and suddenly lowered his voice, "By the way, how much money did you bring?"

"I didn't bring much. After buying the things, I had enough money for two cups of milk tea left." Lu Feng certainly knew what he was thinking.

If you lend money, don't expect to get it back.

Lu Feng suffered greatly from this when he was a child.

"Did you buy it?" Lu Hui frowned.

The woman with bangs and a big face beside them listened to the conversation between the two and asked, "Lü Hui, is he your relative?"

"I mentioned it to you, Lü Feng, my second uncle's son."

"How come he is so much taller than you and so handsome?" The woman stared at Lu Feng from head to toe.

Lu Hui looked unhappy, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only laugh and said, "Ah Feng, return the things and lend me the money for a few days. I will return it to you after the New Year."

"Hey, Afeng. Are you here to buy gold too?" The woman looked at him expectantly.

"I have already agreed to buy it. It would be inappropriate to return it." Lu Feng refused directly.

The future sister-in-law snorted immediately: "See? I have enough spare money to buy gold jewelry for my mother, but you don't even have enough money for your wedding."

"How can that be the same?" Lu Hui argued, "How much can he spend on a small gadget? What I buy you costs tens of thousands of dollars."

"That's true!" The woman was finally a little satisfied.

At this time, the fat salesperson came over with five boxes, put the things on the counter, and said with a smile: "Please confirm, these five pieces weigh a total of 203 grams, and the total price is 28500 yuan. Please swipe the card here."

As he said that, he took out the POS machine.
