The next day, Li Jianghe got up and went for a run with his grandfather Li Shan. After having breakfast, Li Jianghe drove his Passat to the nearest shopping mall.

At this time, there were not so many fancy jewelry stores for couples. If you want to buy bracelets or bracelets, you basically have to go to a regular jewelry or gold and silver store.

Li Jianghe visited several gold shops, but he was not very satisfied.

The styles of bracelets are too old, and there are few styles for couples. Even the styles for couples are only for middle-aged couples.

Anyway, it doesn’t quite suit Li Jianghe’s liking.

"Sir, have you not found the style you are satisfied with?" The waiter at the gold store looked at Li Jianghe and felt that he seemed to be someone who knew how to place orders.

"I want to buy a couple's bracelet, not too thick and inappropriate." Li Jianghe looked at the only "couple's" bracelets in this gold shop and felt that they were for wealthy ladies.

"You can choose to customize it and engrave words on the inside of the bracelet," the waiter said, "There is an event now and you can get a 50% discount."

"If you want to customize it, can you give us some examples of patterns and styles?" Li Jianghe asked.

"Hmm," the clerk thought for a while and went to the back to get a sample. "This is customized by a previous customer, but it's not a couple model. You can take a look."

"Oh," Li Jianghe nodded and squinted his eyes for a while.

This bracelet seemed to be a women's one, rather delicate, and there were words engraved on the inner wall, in English, but Li Jianghe was too embarrassed to look closely at the engraved words.

"This thickness is good," Li Jianghe suddenly thought: "Can I put a small gemstone in the bracelet?"

He felt that such a bracelet was a little boring.

"Uh, sir, we really don't do this business," the clerk said with an apologetic smile, "We only make gold and silver jewelry. If you find it boring, we can use silver to carve patterns on the bracelet for you."

"Oh", Li Jianghe thought this was fine, "Then let's choose a pattern."

"Okay sir, please come over here." The clerk led Li Jianghe to the side and took out a pattern book.

Li Jianghe looked through the brochure of patterns and finally selected a bracelet with gold as the main body and silver roses embedded in it.

The silver rose blooms from the middle, and its branches extend to both sides, forming a whole.

"Let's take a thirty-gram bracelet." Li Jianghe finally selected thirty grams based on the relationship between grams and thickness mentioned by the clerk.

Any less is too thin, and you may worry about the bracelet deforming. After all, gold is relatively soft, and you can scratch it with your fingernails on pure gold.

At this time, the price of gold was less than 100 yuan per gram. Including the silver used for engraving and the cost of production, the two bracelets cost a total of 6,100.

With a 15% discount it’s 5295.

Li Jianghe opened his mouth and erased the fraction of five yuan.

"You can come and pick it up in about a month." The clerk first collected a 300 deposit.

"Ah? A month?" Li Jianghe shook his head violently: "It's too late, I have to do it in two weeks at the latest."

"Two weeks, eh," the clerk frowned, "Sir, I'm not going to lie to you, these custom-made items are all hand-made by the masters in our store, so they will definitely be slower. The same is true for other stores. You can ask around.

"

"I can add money." Li Jianghe still shook his head. It would definitely not be possible so late. "Otherwise, I won't be able to do it here."

Li Jianghe thought he had made a mistake. He didn't know that making customized bracelets was so troublesome.

"This is a birthday gift for my girlfriend. You can't let me wait until after my birthday to give it to you." Li Jianghe bowed slightly and said, "Please ask the master if it can be done faster and I can accept more money."

"Okay... okay", the clerk also understood that this birthday gift should not be delivered late, and promised: "The master is not in the store, I will make a call from the landline, please wait a moment."

"Okay, as long as we can deliver the goods as soon as possible," Li Jianghe nodded.

The clerk walked into the back room to make a call. Li Jianghe touched his chin, thinking about what else to prepare for his birthday and how to get Ruan Xiang to accept this gift.

"Sir, I've kept you waiting for a long time." The clerk walked out of the back room, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The master said I'd give you an extra five hundred and we'll get the goods in two weeks."

"Okay," Li Jianghe nodded, "I will give you these five hundred now, please be sure to do it quickly."

"Don't worry, sir, our master said it can take two weeks, so it won't be too late." The clerk is still very confident in the craftsmanship of his forging master.

"That's fine." Li Jianghe took out five hundred from his pocket and counted it to the clerk.

At the same time, Ruan Xiang was discussing birthday matters with his parents.

After all, this was her birthday after she entered college. Ruan Xiang's father wanted to invite some close relatives to have a meal at home.

In the past, Ruan Xiang's birthday usually consisted of a bowl of longevity noodles, two sugar-watered eggs, and that was it.

When Ruan Xiang's father Ruan Xuehong was still an employee of a state-owned enterprise, he would bring Ruan Xiang a salted duck. However, this was not a state-owned enterprise restructuring. The tea factory became private. Of course, when the restructuring was first carried out, that is, in 1995

It was brilliant for three years in 1997, and then it became worse each year, otherwise Ruan Xiang would not have been born in poverty.

After that, even if Ruan Xuehong wanted to bring salted duck, Ruan Xiang would not let him.

Because Ruan Xiang's mother is not in good health, she is basically unable to work. She mends clothes for others at home and knits cross stitch for others to sell.
