Lin Fan has no desire to shop, but her aesthetic taste is online.
I found a relatively well-known casual brand and bought a complete outfit from head to toe, including a mid-length cotton coat, and replaced my standard long windbreaker on the spot.
Underwear must be washed before wearing.
Lin Fan, who has a mild obsession with mysophobia, asked Li Chunhua if there was a washing machine at home and a heated kang in the house so that clothes could dry overnight, so he just changed into his coat.
The uniform underneath was covered by the new cotton coat, so nothing could be seen.
"Is that it?" Song Ren was puzzled.
He had also been shopping with his girlfriend before. He had never seen a woman buy clothes so quickly.
Lin Fan didn't even try the clothes on. After entering the store, he liked the style and color, and directly took his size. Without even unpacking the packaging, he ran to the shopping counter to queue up.
"Oh, I should buy two sets of clothes." Lin Fan ran back again and took out another set of clothes in a different color.
Gao Fei and Ji Yu had never had a girlfriend, so they just felt that Lin Fan's clothing shopping was different from their general perception. They wouldn't buy clothes so quickly anyway.
Li Chunhua was even more confused. "Does this color look good? Beige and black, wouldn't they look good? Can a girl wear them?..."
Lin Fan didn't bother to pay attention to him and just queued up to pay.
After coming out of the store, Song Ren asked again, "Do you want to buy shoes?"
The shopping mall is full of people buying New Year's goods, and most of them are buying new clothes from head to toe.
Lin Fan looked at the warm boots on his feet and felt good. "No one should pay attention to the shoes, right? If they are not necessary, then why not buy them? I feel that these shoes are more comfortable than those sold out."
The performance of military clothing is definitely top-notch, and it cannot be compared with anything outside.
Song Ren didn't continue to persuade her, but instead suggested that she buy a bag or a suitcase. The journey would last several days, and shopping bags alone would not be enough for a long journey.
"Forget about the suitcase, I have one at home. I'll just buy a handbag." Lin Fan thought it was right and bought a small travel bag in a lightning speed.
After putting all the clothes in my hands in, there was still some space, just enough to stuff her bed sheet.
"Okay! Let's go eat." Lin Fan clapped his hands, rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time. It was almost 12 o'clock.
Several people thought of Jin Sichen’s “shopping mission” and felt that it seemed to have been accomplished, but it didn’t feel real.
During meal times in the mall, there are always many people queuing up to eat.
After walking around, they found that most of the restaurants were packed. If they waited for a table, they might not be able to catch the bus in time.
The train is about to depart in an hour and a half, so they have to hurry.
"How about we go eat in the underground passage of the station? I see a row of snack shops over there." Gao Fei suggested.
There is a row of open-air snack shops just behind the bus stop. They sell noodles, braised chicken with rice, etc. There are many varieties, and it is convenient and affordable.
Lin Fan saw it too, but she felt it was too cold in there. Especially when customers came in and out, a gust of cold wind would rush in as soon as the door opened, making the dining experience inside not very pleasant.
"That restaurant is empty!" she shouted when she saw a restaurant with no waiting tables.
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed and saw a receptionist enthusiastically soliciting customers in front of a luxuriously decorated storefront.
But for some reason, even if passers-by stopped and looked at the menu, they would shake their heads and leave.
"Is it not tasty?" Li Chunhua asked curiously.
It's not likely that the food at a restaurant in a big shopping mall would be that bad.
"That's not the case. It's a high-end buffet restaurant, a southern chain brand, specializing in seafood buffet." Ji Yu had seen that brand in the Gaohe shopping mall and had a rough idea of what it was like.
"Seafood?" Gao Fei was surprised. It's almost the New Year, and there are still seafood?
"Yes, it is airlifted from the south, so the quality, quantity, freshness and authentic taste are guaranteed," said Ji Yu.
"Then why doesn't anyone go in?" Li Chunhua was puzzled.
"Is it because it's expensive?" Gao Fei realized that the seafood ingredients air-shipped from the south, especially in the middle of winter, would be expensive.
The waiter outside also saw the five of them lingering in their shop for a while, and quickly walked over to promote their business, saying, "Everyone, we're having a promotion today. All customers who come into the store can enjoy a 15% discount. Would you like to try it?"
"What's the 15% discount?" Lin Fan flipped open the menu.
The dazzling array of photos of various seafood is indeed attractive.
Li Chunhua and Gao Fei had never seen it before, so they gathered around to watch.
Ji Yu knew the price, so he stood at the back and didn't join in the fun. He waited until they reached the end and then stepped back.
Seeing that several people were quite interested, the receptionist tried his best to write out the introduction.
Li and Gao, who were itching to buy something, jumped away in shock when they saw the price of 1,200 yuan per piece on the last page.
No wonder no one comes in. Who can afford this price?
You know, Guang'an has just been included in the list of third-tier cities.
Lin Fan was also shocked when he saw it.
She had eaten a meal that cost 1200 yuan, but she had never tried eating at that price per person. After all, with her salary at that time, such consumption was considered a luxury.
"Lin Fan, forget it. It's the same if we eat something else." Li Chunhua pulled Lin Fan's sleeve, trying to pull her away quickly.
Gao Fei thought of Jin Sichen's mission, but he felt that the price was too high and he couldn't say it out loud.
A meal for five people costs 6,000. No matter how rich Lin Fan is, he didn't get it out of thin air. How could he spend it like this?
Seeing everyone start to back off, the waiter thought he was going to fail again. But he couldn't leave before they left. So he put on a smile and waited for the customer, still pondering over the menu, to make a decision.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Fan turned around and asked Ji Yu.
She remembered how much money was on her card and wasn't worried about the price.
Didn't Jin Sichen ask her to spend money? Then she would just follow the doctor's advice.
Ji Yu was stunned. He had never been there to eat, so how would he know?
Seeing that there was a chance, the receptionist smiled even more. She knew that the woman in front of her was the decision maker and did not dare to urge her at all.
Lin Fan looked at Song Ren again.
"Not bad." Song Ren went into such an expensive store because his ex-girlfriend wanted to come.
"Okay, let's eat." Lin Fan looked at the time. It was already past 12 o'clock and he didn't want to delay any longer. "The buffet will be served soon, no need to wait."
The waiter was very happy and led the way excitedly, bringing the few people into the restaurant.
Lin Fan took the lead, followed closely by Song Ren. Ji Yu was stunned for a moment before catching up.
Gao Fei and Li Chunhua looked at each other for a few seconds, thought about Lin Fan's account balance, convinced themselves not to take it too seriously, and quickly followed.
The ambiance of the upscale restaurant was indeed quite nice. Perhaps due to the high prices, there were no other customers inside.
After Lin Fan and his group entered, they felt the meticulous service.
"Has the service industry reached this standard now?" she asked doubtfully.
I saw a group of waiters, some pouring water, some providing towels, some putting bags for them, and some putting protective covers on their coats.
Lin Fan seriously suspected that the lack of customers in the store had caused them to be bored.
However, because of her illness, she hasn't eaten out for several years. I wonder if this is popular now.
"That's not the case. They're known for their attentive service." Ji Yu wiped his hands and replied to Lin Fan, "No other store can compare to them."
"Is it because it's expensive?" Li Chunhua curled her lips. "It's so expensive per person, so the service can't be bad."
His salary is not low. It’s not that he can’t afford the head fee, but he just feels it’s unnecessary.
Without saying much, they quickly got up to get their food and solve their lunch problem.
After a satisfying meal, the waiter was called in to settle the bill.
When he saw the four grown men standing still and the only woman taking out her bank card, his smile froze.
After the waiter left, Li Chunhua muttered to Gao Fei, "Why do I feel like there's contempt in his eyes?"
Gao Fei lowered his head and said, "You're not mistaken. He must think we're gigolos."
Li Chunhua wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no way to refute it.
Looking at Song Ren and Ji Yu who looked calm, and Lin Fan who was unaware of anything, he scratched his head in frustration.
What should I do?
Have you ever eaten at a seafood buffet? My friend treated me to one, and it was 102 per person with a discount. But I had diarrhea that day and didn't dare to eat anything. 555, what a waste. Don't forget to vote.
