Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

As the capital of China, Beijing is actually quite rich in commodities.

For example, the Phoenix brand bicycle bought by Yang Rui is in short supply all over the country, and he may not be able to buy it with money. But at the Friendship Store in Beijing, there are as many Phoenix bicycles as you want, and you just need foreign exchange certificates.

Designer clothing is the same concept. In the embassy district of Beijing, there are shops for foreigners. They not only sell Chinese-made clothes, but also import them from abroad. There are many well-known brands from Italy, France, and the United Kingdom, and the prices are as high as hundreds or even thousands of dollars. China's luxury goods are dazzling, but the media doesn't report them, and ordinary Chinese people don't spend them either.

Yang Rui found a custom-made clothing store near the British embassy, ​​and asked the old tailors in the store to make a full set of fashion for him, focusing on British style.

A woolen coat in dark tones, blended with cashmere and silk, which is skin-friendly and comfortable, and has excellent warmth retention effect. The sweaters I used to wear were all replaced by gray and black cashmere sweaters. Unlike wool and cotton wool products, it is difficult to make bright colors of cashmere, which just met the expectations of the "organization".

Of course, the comfort of cashmere is unquestionable. Ordinary woolen sweaters cannot be worn next to the body. Wearing cashmere clothes next to the body is warmer than wearing an extra cotton autumn jacket, because cashmere is very soft and has excellent Water absorption and air permeability, which makes it warm by two minus one greater than two.

Also because of the high international price of cashmere materials, cashmere sweaters almost disappeared in the domestic market in the 1980s, and ordinary people could not even afford woolen woolen coats, let alone woolen sweaters and cashmere sweaters. As for the color, Yang Rui felt that unless he was a professional, no one would recognize what he was wearing.

The composition of sweatpants and long johns was also replaced by light cashmere trousers and tailored trousers by Yang Rui.

Suit pants were relatively popular in the 1980s, and many people wore them. Although the prices vary widely, it is quite difficult to distinguish them at a glance.

Standing for the old tailor to measure his figure, he selected the style and materials from the drawing board, and the old tailor said slowly in English: "I can make one for you first, and the rest will wait for the materials to arrive, probably About two weeks, each set includes a cashmere sweater, a pair of cashmere trousers, a pair of outer pants, and a small coat. If you want 5 sets, it will cost 12,000 US dollars. I will give you half a dozen shirts so that you can do it in spring Wear them. But do you really want five identical outfits? You know, the price is the same whether the style changes or not.”

"I'm very satisfied with this style. I need five sets that are exactly the same. By the way, give me another dozen socks." What Yang Rui wants now is the effect of not changing clothes all year round.

"A pair of cashmere socks cost $60, and a dozen cost $720." The old tailor took out a calculator, added $720, and said, "You want two coats, each cost $2,000, and the total is $16,700. .The twenty-dollar change has been wiped off, and I'm giving you half a dozen shirts."

"I still want you to buy two bags for me, can you?" Yang Rui took out three rolls of dollars, unwrapped them and handed them to the old tailor. Manager Li of Huarui took these out of the Bank of China and handed them over to Yang Rui.

The old tailor counted out 16,700 dollars with a smile, and returned the rest to Yang Rui. In the 1980s, this was a huge sum of money for Europeans and Americans. The annual salary of ordinary blue-collar workers was only so much, which was usually consumed by two adults and two or three children.

An average of $2,400 per set is enough to buy Armani's ready-to-wear in this era. However, custom-made clothing has always been not cheap, which is determined by both handwork and materials.

In China, 16,700 US dollars can be said to be exaggerated to the sky, nearly 170,000 yuan, enough for Yang Rui to buy another 10 acres of good land in Zhongguancun, and sell it for 20 million yuan in 10 years or so.

If used for daily consumption, $17,600 is enough for ordinary people to buy thousands of pieces of clothing, or hundreds of pieces of Adidas basic clothing.

"What kind of bag do you want?" The old tailor put the money away and took out the notepad with a smile. His shop is located in the embassy area, and he often has to bring things to the guests who come and go here. Purchasing on behalf of customers is also a necessary strategy to retain customers.

Yang Rui thought for a while and said: "The fabric is the best. Cloth, linen, and chemical fiber are all fine. I want simple colors and styles, practical, and most importantly, comfortable. In addition, it must be the same as my fabric. Clothes match."

"Okay, simple luxury, I understand." The old tailor translated a sentence and said, "What about the other bag, what kind do you want?"

"The same price is fine."

"Two identical bags?"

"Yes, exactly the same."

"I have been in China for two years, and I really don't understand you more and more." The old tailor shook his head and wrote down Yang Rui's request.

After going out, Yang Rui went to buy two identical belts, two identical scarves, and three identical pairs of leather shoes.

Belts and scarves are easy to buy, but leather shoes are particularly difficult, especially for comfortable and fitting leather shoes that require careful trial and error.

Fortunately, the customers in the embassy area are very different, and they have limbs of all lengths and thicknesses. Finally, Yang Rui found a fit. In order to avoid changing them in the future, he wiped out all three pairs in the store.

Three days later, Yang Rui changed out of Adidas all over his body and put on a full set of custom-made clothes without brand or letters. He spent a total of 20,000 US dollars. Even after 30 years, this is not a small amount of money.

However, compared with Yang Rui's annual dividends, this amount of money is nothing, and compared with the funding of the laboratory, 20,000 US dollars is just a drizzle...

Four days later, Yang Rui walked on the campus of Peking University again, and he had changed into a simple British-style attire in black and gray and a woolen coat.

The British-style attire is the most figure-defining, with good tailoring and excellent materials, Yang Rui's image of a handsome man who has been training for more than a year jumped out.

Although the color is darker, without the brightness of sportswear, Yang Rui's eye-catching index is only high no matter whether he appears in the classroom or on the road.

During the democratic life meeting on the weekend, monitor Liu Anping encountered a new problem. Just after he finished talking with Yang Rui, the probationary party member Geng Jian stood up and spoke, saying: "Yang Rui did change his clothes, but as far as I can see, The price might be higher, the coat must be made of woolen cloth, and that one would cost two or three hundred, and the leather shoes and trousers are also different from what we wear..."

Class monitor Liu Anping was very bored, and said: "I have conveyed the conclusion of our democratic life meeting to Yang Rui, and Yang Rui also did a good job. He changed out of the brightly colored clothes, and the English words no longer appeared on the clothes." Alphabet, this proves that he is actively moving closer to the organization. Regarding the price of woolen coats that Geng Jian mentioned, I think we need to look at it from two angles. First, we should maintain the tradition of hard work and simplicity, and not extravagant and wasteful. .Secondly, whether the clothes are decent or not should not be judged by the price. Wearing cheap clothes means hard work and plain living, while wearing expensive clothes means extravagance and waste. This is not a correct value.”

"That's right. Geng Jian, you can't let the people of the whole country wear coarse clothes and don't wash their faces just because you don't wash your face in coarse clothes. We work hard to build socialism, but it's not for continuing to wear coarse clothes. Besides, freshmen wear Yang Rui is not the only one wearing woolen coats, teachers and school leaders wear them, do you want to write a big-character poster and post it at the school gate?" Bai Ling, the cultural and entertainment committee member of the biological science major, pouted visibly.

The probationary member Geng Jian blushed. He heard the face part without hearing anything else, and stood up to argue: "Who doesn't wash their face? Who doesn't wash their face!"

"You rub your nose. How long has it been since you soaked in water? Doesn't it mean that you are hard and simple if you don't wash your face?" Bai Ling was still sitting, but her words were extremely sharp.

"I'm too dry-skinned."

"I think it's too thick-skinned."

"Bai Ling, Geng Jian, don't quarrel, just talk if you have something to say." Class monitor Liu Anping pushed Geng Jian to sit down.

Zuo Liyan chuckled, and said, "Actually, I'm also a little puzzled. Student Yang Rui's clothes are of very good quality, so maybe the price will be very high. Is this not conducive to uniting students?"

"Why do you say that his clothes are expensive?" Bai Ling continued to look for Yang Rui.

As a cultural and entertainment committee member, Bai Ling's appearance was naturally one of a kind. She looked at Zuo Liyan with big bright eyes, and the latter suddenly became speechless.

After a while, Zuo Liyan said unconvinced: "Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about his trousers hanging down in a daze. get."

"I don't think so." Bai Ling sneered twice.

"Not necessarily? Then explain, what material is that made of? I'll buy one too." Zuo Liyan's voice raised slightly.

Bai Ling sneered: "Dong Shi imitated me. Do you think you can become Takakura Ken by wearing Takakura Ken's coat?"

Zuo Liyan conceded defeat, and sat back on the chair.

Liu Anping lowered his head and smiled secretly. He also didn't want to talk about dressing with his classmates anymore. Not to mention it was boring and offending, it didn't make the slightest sense. Bai Ling defeated the two main players, and he was happy to see the result.

At the same time, Yang Rui was patrolling outside the campus looking for food.

Insisting on eating in the cafeteria is not because the food in the cafeteria is delicious, but because Yang Rui wants to keep a low profile. But what he didn't expect was that people actually paid more attention to what happened around them.

Compared with Yang Rui, many students in the school often go home to eat or eat out, but it turned out that Yang Rui, who reported to the cafeteria on time every day, was caught.

In view of this, Yang Rui simply went out to look for food.

There is no invasion of waste oil and other poisons. Of course, this is not because the owners of small restaurants are moral, but because they lack the corresponding technology, and there are not many kinds of chemicals produced in China.

These days, the difficulty of buying a can of industrial alcohol is not as easy as brewing a barrel of wine yourself.
