Zhang Tiegen and others were passing by a gold store at this time. It was quite large. The counters were filled with all kinds of jewelry, which were shining brightly.
Zhang Tiegen was moved in his heart and said to Liu Ruyan and Wei Xinchen: "Daughter-in-law, we have a custom in our rural hometown. After the child is born, the family will put a gold or silver lock or anklet to keep it safe. We will give the child today
Would you like to customize one?"
Liu Ruyan and Wei Xinchen were both stunned when they heard this. Are you going to put a gold lock on your child?
Isn't this kind of thing only seen in TV dramas or old New Year pictures?
They would never have imagined that Zhang Tiegen's rural hometown still preserved such a custom.
Liu Ruyan pursed her lips and smiled and said, "That seems pretty ugly, doesn't it?"
"What does it matter if it's ugly? As long as the child can grow up safely, it doesn't matter how ugly it is." Zhang Tiegen said with a smile.
Liu Ruyan nodded, and Wei Xinchen asked curiously: "Tie Gen, did you also wear a gold lock when you were a child?"
"I haven't worn it before. When my family was very poor, my dad asked the blacksmith to get me a small copper anklet. I still keep it at home! It's very cute. I'll show it to you next time I go back.
"Zhang Tiegen said with a smile. "However, now that we have money, I must give my children a big lock!"
"Okay. Sister Ruyan, let's customize one for the children?" Wei Xinchen said to Liu Ruyan with great anticipation.
"Okay then, let's go in and take a look first." Liu Ruyan said with a smile.
Zhang Tiegen and others entered this gold shop together. The gold shop seems to be not very prosperous recently. There are only a few customers inside, probably even fewer than the salesmen at the counter.
Because of this, when the shop assistants saw so many customers coming in at once, they were like a small group. Each one of them had a bright smile on their face, and they seemed to be full of enthusiasm. They were very much looking forward to Zhang Tiegen and others coming over to patronize.
The counter they are responsible for.
Zhang Tiegen walked to a counter near the door. The female clerk smiled very enthusiastically and said: "Sir, Miss, my counter has the best gold jewelry. You can choose first. I will bring you which one you like."
Zhang Tiegen nodded, but did not look at those necklaces and rings. He said, "I want to buy two gold locks for my child, the kind that keep him safe. Do you have any here?"
"Yes!" the female clerk said, "Look here, we have two different styles of gold locks. They are very beautiful. You can take a look first. If you don't like them, our gold shop can also let you customize them.
Many parents want to create some personalized gold locks for their children, and they especially like to use customized ones, which are not much more expensive."
Zhang Tiegen nodded and asked the clerk to take out the two gold locks from the counter, and then let Liu Ruyan and Wei Xinchen choose for themselves.
Although Liu Ruyan just said that buying a gold lock for a child was a tacky thing, when she actually bought it, she seemed very serious about it.
Therefore, Liu Ruyan took Wei Xinchen with her there and started to discuss the two gold locks with great interest, and then asked the female shop assistant many questions.
The female clerk had already figured out from Liu Ruyan and Wei Xinchen's speech and behavior, as well as their clothes, that these two women were definitely rich.
What's more, since Liu Ruyan and Wei Xinchen got the two gold locks, they have been messing around with questions about whether the style is good-looking, what weight, what kind of style they like, etc. They are not like ordinary people at all.
After receiving the item, I immediately started asking about the price.
Rich people are so willful.
Therefore, meeting such two customers made the female clerk secretly very excited, and she answered their questions very attentively and in detail.
Finally, after Liu Ruyan and Wei Xinchen discussed it, they said to the female clerk: "We don't want these two models, we use customized ones."
"Okay, miss." The female clerk said with a smile, and immediately took out a beautifully bound booklet and gave it to Liu Ruyan and Wei Xinchen to read. "This is a customizable style in our store. Take a look.
The words on the golden lock can be changed to what you like, and the weight can be decided by yourself."
Liu Ruyan and Wei Xinchen began to look through and discuss again, and finally settled on two beautiful heart-shaped gold locks.
Liu Ruyan said to the clerk: "Miss, we want to customize two heart-shaped gold locks, and the chains will be made of platinum."
The decision was made so quickly, without even asking about the price of gold! Moreover, even the chain of the gold lock is made of platinum! This made the female shop assistant very happy. She really met a big customer today.
"Okay, miss." The female clerk said with a bright smile, "I'll write it down for you right now. By the way, what weight do you want for the gold lock and platinum chain?"
"Just use two taels for gold locks and one tael for platinum chains. I'm afraid the children won't be able to wear them if they're too heavy," Liu Ruyan said.
"Okay." The female clerk happily wrote down the numbers in the book. Big customer, "Are they all using 24K?"
"Of course." Zhang Tiegen said from the side.
"Okay. What words do you want to use on the gold lock?" the female clerk asked again.
"Just use the words 'long life and wealth'." Liu Ruyan said.
"Do both gold locks use these four words?" the female clerk asked.
After Liu Ruyan and Wei Xinchen discussed it, they said: "To use them separately, mark one golden lock with the word "long life" and the other with the word "wealth and honor".
"Okay. Then you all can wait a moment and take a look at the items in our gold shop. I will go to the manager to issue a receipt for you now. By the way, after the gold lock is punched out, will you come to pick it up in person?
Mail it to you directly?"
"Just send it by mail." Liu Ruyan said.
"Okay, please leave your contact information first." The female clerk smiled.
Liu Ruyan directly gave the female clerk a business card, and the female clerk excitedly went to their manager to issue a receipt.
"Let's take a look. If you like something, just tell me. My husband will buy everything for you today!" Zhang Tiegen was very happy when he saw that his wife finally got the children's gold locks, and he immediately smiled very richly.
"That's what you said." Wei Xinchen smiled.
"Of course. It's hard for me to buy this commercial building, but buying some gold, silver, jewelry, etc., isn't that a matter of minutes?" Zhang Tiegen said with a smile.
