Chapter Eighty-Nine: The First Department Store in Beijing
Originally, he wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he couldn't wipe out a child's kindness.
Xiaoqin's kindness is in her bones, just like her mother, otherwise after the nasty brothers and sisters left, Jiao Huixue would not have taken the initiative to come over to help their brothers and sisters, which is a great kindness.
"Uncle, drink some water. ”
Xiaoqin knew that she couldn't change anything, so she didn't beg Hanpi to let Xu Dahai go, because she knew that this was an adult's business, and all she could do was give Xu Dahai a bowl of water to drink.
"Don't give him a drink. ”
When Xiaoyu saw it, she wanted to go over and stop her, but she was pulled by Hanpi.
"Alright, you eat your food and leave her alone. ”
Xu Dahai raised his head with difficulty and glanced at Xiaoqin, and drank the water, he didn't know how he drank it, didn't he know how to be ashamed, think about how he used to treat Xiaoqin, the child.
In the past, Xu Dahai saw these two girls, and they were little girls at every turn, and when he got closer to him, he seemed to feel dirty, and he couldn't wait to let the two little girls stay away from him.
This is also why Xiaoyu treats Xu Dahai so much, otherwise a child can do such a thing.
Although the children are not sensible, they understand everything in their hearts, but they can't say it.
Anyway, Hanpi feels that if he is Xu Dahai, he will definitely not be able to drink this water, and it is estimated that he can get into it with a crack in the ground, which is the difference between good people and bad people.
"Okay Xiaoqin, come over and eat. ”
Seeing that Xiaoqin had finished feeding Xu Dahai water, Hanpi called her over.
"I know Uncle Han. ”
Hanpi knows that he is not a good person, but he believes that he is definitely a thousand times stronger than Xu Dahai, ten thousand times, and he believes that if he falls into the same fate as Xu Dahai one day, these two children will definitely secretly send him food.
After eating, Hanpi asked the monkey to go to Grandpa Hu's house to take back the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Xiao doesn't have to go to school now, just brush the pot and wash the dishes at home, Chen Xiao's school is now closed, as for those students, they are all ......
"Chen Xiao, after the monkey comes back for a while, you will stay at home, remember, you are not allowed to go out, and these two children are the same. ”
"Got it, brother, but are you going out?"
"I'll go to the store and I'll be back in a minute, don't worry about me. ”
"Oh! ”
Hanpi wants to buy some cloth, there are a lot of cloths at home, but those are all fabrics, and there are also some fabrics that are made for Chen Xiao's age, and there are no fabrics for Li Yuxi's age at home.
That's right, Hanpi is to buy fabrics for Li Yuxi, and then wait for Jiao Huixue to come back, let Jiao Huixue measure Li Yuxi, make a few clothes, and can't let her stay in the room every day without going out.
"Master, are you going out?"
When Hanpi went out, the monkey came back.
"Hmm! I'm going to go out. ”
"Master, let me go with you?"
"No need, you're at home, remember, watch Xiaoqin, don't let her get Xu Dahai food. ”
"Don't worry, master, I'll watch her. ”
Hanpi knew that it was not impossible to do so, so before leaving, he still arranged for the monkey, if he gave Xu Dahai something to eat, he would not be able to achieve the purpose of punishing him, which was definitely what Hanpi did not want to see.
At this time, there were three department stores in the imperial capital, the first of which was the department store, which was known as the first store in New China, which opened in 1955.
At that time, it was the largest store in the imperial capital, twice the area of the seven department stores on East Chang'an Street, Wangfujing Street and Donghuamen Street, and could accommodate tens of thousands of customers and 1,000 salespeople at the same time.
On the day it opened in 1955, the number of visitors reached an astonishing 164,000, so much so that after closing, two large baskets of shoes were picked up for the shoes that customers had lost.
Queues are often a sight to buy in department stores, so much so that many counters in shopping malls have no choice but to erect guardrails with steel pipes to prevent crowded customers from crowding the counters.
At that time, there was a popular saying among the people of the imperial capital: "What you can't buy in the department store, don't go anywhere." ”
Why?
Because in the era of the planned economy, department stores were the only retail enterprises that were approved to enjoy the right to purchase nationwide. Not only can we buy goods from big cities such as SH and Guangzhou, but we can also sell imported goods from abroad.
Therefore, not only in the imperial capital, but also in the whole country, it can be regarded as a shopping mall with the most complete categories and most varieties.
The place where Hanpi is going today is the department store, not because there are all the goods here, but because it is close to where he lives.
There are also two places are Xidan Shopping Mall and Dong'an Market, Dong'an Market is the oldest market in the imperial capital, but in 1966, it was changed to Dongfeng Market by the revolutionary masses, and it was not until 1988 that Dong'an Market was restored.
It's really big, and it's the first time I've been here, so I locked my bike outside and walked in.
After entering, I found that this place is not as backward as I imagined, the first floor is all counters, glass counters, but the counter frame is wood, and the counter is also equipped with a light tube, which is also used for lighting.
"Comrade, what do you want to buy?"
It's not like others say, the salesman is cold, he looks like he doesn't answer, and he is very enthusiastic.
"Hello, I want to buy some fabric. ”
"Buy fabrics, you go to the third floor and have a look. ”
"Okay, thanks. ”
"You're welcome, you go slowly. ”
The third floor not only sells fabrics, but also all kinds of clothes, but these clothes are similar to those worn by Li Yuxi, this can't be bought, it's better to buy fabrics and go back to make them.
"Comrade, are you looking at the fabric?"
"Oh yes, I want to make some clothes for my sister, please help me take a look. ”
"How old is your sister?"
"Oh, seventeen or eighteen. ”
"Then look at this cloth, this is a new cloth that has just been brought in. ”
The salesman picked up a piece of cloth and let Han Pi see, this is a piece of floral cloth, to be honest, if you use this cloth to make clothes, you don't need to pretend at all after wearing it, you will directly become a country girl, this kind of cloth, the average city people rarely buy.
Seeing this piece of cloth, Hanpi's eyes lit up, isn't this exactly what Li Yuxi was prepared for, although she was a little wronged, but now there is no way, otherwise Hanpi would never let her wear clothes made of such cloth.
"Okay, that's it, how much is a meter?"
"Eight cents a meter gab ticket. ”
"Okay, give me three meters, and this, this, and these two are the same and tell me to come three meters. ”
Of course not, he has a lot of this thing, and the other is money, and there is no shortage of Hanpi, and others need to think about it when they buy a meter of cloth, and Hanpi doesn't even think about it.
