The next day, Saturday, the sky cleared and the temperature dropped from ten degrees above zero to five or six degrees below zero.
For Zhou Yan, who is used to getting up early to exercise, there is no difference between minus five and six degrees and above zero, and exercising in subzero temperatures will consume calories faster.
The calorie consumption is fast, but because of the ice on the road, the running speed has slowed down. Over and over again, the energy consumption has remained the same. Zhou Yan can barely accept this situation.
The originally half-hour journey took Zhou Yan a full hour because of the ice. When he returned to his dormitory, Yu Hongliang, from Guangxi, was shivering in bed.
Zhou Yan raised his head and smiled at Yan Wentao who was opposite Yu Hongliang: "What's wrong with Xiao Yu'er?"
Yan Wentao was delighted, his face full of gloating: "This guy went out to have breakfast just now, and he didn't wear long johns!"
"Oh," Zhou Yan nodded seriously, thought for a while, and then added, "In early winter, there is a kind of cold, called forgetting to wear long johns!"
As soon as Zhou Yan's witty words came out, everyone in the dormitory laughed unscrupulously.
Then, a group of people in the dormitory went to the cafeteria to have breakfast one after another. After enjoying the first cool breeze in winter, they discussed and made a decision: to accompany Yu Hongliang to the city to buy thermal underwear.
The actual situation is that accompanying Yu Hongliang is secondary. The most important thing is that a group of freshmen are tired of staying in the remote Jinshan and want to feel the bustling atmosphere of the big city.
After finishing dressing up, a group of people were getting ready. Before they went out, Zhao Ruijie and Yang Dong from the dormitory next door came over. When they heard that 603 was going shopping, they asked to go with them.
There was another period of chattering, and by the time a group of people came downstairs, the small team had expanded from eight to ten people.
The transfer station in the city is still the train station.
After nearly a month of special rectification activities, the order of bus rides near the train station has improved a lot. Regardless of whether there are seats or not, no one is crowding in when getting on the bus.
The destination of a group of people was the Victory Mall next to Xinghuo Plaza, less than three kilometers away from the train station. A group of strong young men chatted and laughed and arrived in ten minutes.
Victory Mall is a large shopping mall that mainly sells clothing wholesale and retail, so the price of clothing here is much cheaper than other places in the city.
Of course, the prerequisite for enjoying low prices is that you know how to bargain.
In his previous life, Zhou Yan didn't know how to bargain, so he contributed more than 100,000 yuan in sales to the Black Cat family in more than ten years after graduating from college.
After his rebirth, while experiencing the colorful life of Director Yu Zuiyu, Zhou Yan also learned many practical skills from this anti-pocket master, such as bargaining.
Start with your hands and chop them off by the roots, then lift them up from the waist.
As a rule, sellers generally double the price of items they sell after adding profit. If the bargaining price is too high, it will fall into the seller's trap.
Cut off 80% with one knife, then add 10% to 10%.
The investigative ability he gained from "Worker Bee" and Yu Zui allowed Zhou Yan to easily determine the bottom line of the business.
"Eighty, if you don't sell it, you will be defeated!"
With that said, Zhou Yan took a group of friends and headed out.
"Brother, don't tell me, eighty, just eighty, I'll open the business!"
Zhou Yan took out an old man's head from his pocket, handed it over, and then looked back at his friends: "If you don't buy a few, the quality of his sweaters is pretty good!"
The merchant, who was originally feeling a little bit pained, suddenly smiled when he saw a group of people buying one piece each: Small profits but quick turnover is not bad!
After buying all the woolen sweaters, I have basically collected half of my winter equipment, and the rest is the most important down jacket for winter.
The price of off-brand down jackets in Shengli Mall is quite cheap, but the quality is really poor. The down filling in a short down jacket is less than 80 grams, and the down inside is just half-down feathers with hard roots.<
/p>
A group of people wandered around Victory Mall for a while, but after failing to buy a suitable down jacket, they had no choice but to change their positions and rushed to Xinghuo Plaza. In the most prosperous place in the center, there is a large shopping mall, Yiqun Mall.
Of course, there are more down jacket stores in the bustling Yiqun shopping mall than in Shengli Mall, but they are all big brands, such as Bosideng, Hansi, Xuezhongfei and so on.
However, you get what you pay for.
Although the down jackets in Yiqun Mall are twice as expensive as those in Shengli Mall, the amount of down filling in the down jackets is quite sufficient, most of which are over 200 grams...
"Do you have white goose down jackets in your store?"
In his previous life, he was influenced by a certain goose from the Maple Leaf Country. Zhou Yan also had a special understanding of the types of down fillings in down jackets. Generally speaking, the best quality is white goose down, followed by gray goose down, and then white duck down.
The clerk's eyes lit up when he heard it was white goose down, but when he saw Zhou Yan's attire, his eyes quickly dimmed again. He weakly stretched out his hand and pointed at a few items hanging in the most conspicuous place in the store: "Here, then
Just a few pieces!"
Zhou Yan came over, reached out and pinched it. The quality was okay, but looking at the tag, it was a bit expensive.
I turned around and looked at the clerk who was standing there blankly: "Can I get a discount on this one?"
“15% off!”
"Bring me one that costs two xl!"
As soon as he heard that Zhou Yan wanted to buy it, the salesperson immediately became energetic. He went to the warehouse behind to buy one item, issued an invoice, handed it to Zhou Yan, and reminded with a smile: "Just go to the counter to check out!"
Zhou Yan took the order and glanced at Lin Junfeng and Zhao Ruijie who were waiting aside: "You guys watch first, I'll pay the money!"
When Zhou Yan came back after paying the money, Zhao Ruijie and Lin Junfeng had already started the winter mode, each wearing a mid-length down jacket.
Both of these two men don't like money. After being complimented by the sidelines, they immediately paid to win.
When the three people carrying large and small bags found the remaining friends, they found that these people were still wandering around the down jacket counter aimlessly.
Zhou Yan didn't know what to say, so he just said, "It's a small thing to be beautiful, but a big thing to freeze to death." Then he dragged Lin Junfeng and Zhao Ruijie to the electronics and electrical appliances counter.

"Zhou Yan, are you planning to change your mobile phone?"
Seeing the dazzling array of electrical appliances, Zhao Ruijie was a little surprised and looked at Zhou Yan walking in front with a smile.
"How is that possible?"
Zhou Yan led two people straight through the mobile phone counter and came to the counter at the far end where "antique electronic" radios and Walkmans were sold.
“The CET-4 exam is coming soon, and the exam tools haven’t been assembled yet!”
When China's semiconductor industry was still in its infancy, radios using imported chips became the most eye-catching products on the counter, with prices comparable to mobile phones.
Fortunately, Zhou Yan only bought it for the exam and did not need that much. However, even if he picked one with mediocre performance, it still cost Zhou Yan two hundred oceans, which is almost half a month's food expenses.<
/p>
Zhao Ruijie and Lin Junfeng saw Zhou Yan buying it, and followed suit and bought two units with similar prices.
After leaving the radio counter, the three people went to the headphone section and bought headphones.
After the three people walked around and returned to the down jacket counter, they found that a group of people had just started winter mode, each holding a down jacket.
It was really boring to watch a group of old men changing their clothes. The three of them exchanged glances, walked straight outside, sat on a bench and watched the scenery...
As soon as he sat down, Zhao Ruijie seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Zhou Yan with great interest: "Ayan, what does the phrase 'Fortunately, one person's heart will never be separated' in your penguin diary mean?"
"How many more meanings can there be?" Zhou Yan said with a smile on his face, "Brother already has a girlfriend!"
"I'm going, this is too soon, isn't it? When did it happen?"
"It started last month when that package came!"
"Oh..."
The three of them sat there for more than half an hour before they saw their friends walking out carrying large and small bags.
"Where should we go next?"
"Xiao Yu'er still hasn't bought all the shoes!"
It was almost noon, so a group of people had no choice but to run to a nearby pedestrian street, have a quick meal, and then continue shopping...
