Chapter 1648

"Ah? Okay."

Zhao Chi took out the high heels and handed them over.

Shopkeeper Wanyan took them, somewhat surprised.

"High heels? What beautiful shoes, this is also… my goodness… Madam Zhao Si, this is…"

Shopkeeper Wanyan had originally wanted to launch into praise mode again.

After all, these high heels really did have plenty worth praising.

For instance, the surface was pure white and extremely hard, very difficult to wear down. But the inside was unusually soft, fitting the foot perfectly once worn, and so on and so forth.

But just as before.

Shopkeeper Wanyan's words were completely choked back by the high heels' attributes.

She once again began observing with great seriousness.

Zhao Chi figured she probably had some sewing foundation as well.

She certainly couldn't reach Li Ruanyu's master-level standard, but she was after all a senior inspector of the Ruby Merchant Guild's fashion department, so at the very least she should have advanced sewing ability as a base.

She might even have expert-level sewing skill.

Without professional skill, it would be hard to lead the fashion department.

Besides, the way she was examining the high heels now was somewhat similar to Li Ruanyu.

She seemed to be analyzing the manufacturing craft.

After looking for a while, she sat back at the desk again, carefully examining them under the light of the desk lamp.

Only after quite a while did she stand up.

She respectfully returned the shoes to Zhao Chi.

"Madam Zhao Si, these high heels are also extraordinary. Although they're a bit inferior to those stockings, the gap isn't in craftsmanship but in material grade. Of course, the material of these high heels is also extremely rare to come by, and they're also excellent fashion items. But since this is an appraisal, I must certainly give you a price based on actual value."

"I understand, go ahead."

"I can purchase them at 12 gold coins per pair."

That was also roughly what Zhao Chi had estimated.

These high heels were made using the previous Tang Soft Jade Armor, equivalent to only a one-time material bonus, and they were also missing 10 improvement points, so the price would indeed be quite a bit lower.

However, the durability of high heels was naturally far higher than the stockings' 95 points, a full 400 points of durability, otherwise the price might have been even lower.

Zhao Chi had calculated around 10 gold coins; Shopkeeper Wanyan's quote of 12 gold coins still exceeded Zhao Chi's psychological price.

Not bad.

This price would do.

Then the last item was the shirt.

"There's also this, help me appraise its price too."

Zhao Chi took out the silky shirt and handed it over.

"S-still more??"

Shopkeeper Wanyan licked her lips, seeming a bit thirsty.

She stared at the milky-white shirt without taking it.

Instead, she first rubbed her face.

The makeup she had just applied was rubbed somewhat askew by her, the fine powder dusted on her cheeks all rubbed off.

She hurriedly wiped the powder off her hands, then focused her attention and took the shirt.

This time she didn't even have any intention of praising it, dropping straight into the chair at the desk and seriously beginning her study.
