Chapter 34: Fashion in the Eighties
The price of the "People's Hero Khaki" is three pieces of 61 meters, and in addition to the one-foot cloth ticket, the price of the "Really Good" is much higher, and the price of 6 yuan and 51 meters, plus two feet of cloth ticket, is almost twice that of the "People's Hero".
Six yuan and five meters is a high price, but it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the people of Fucheng, "really good" just in the department store "appeared" caused a sensation in the whole city, people rushed to tell each other, and then poured into the store to start buying.
"Wenxiu, hurry up, my eldest sister is a salesperson in the three department stores, I told her that it was really good to leave me three meters, and if I went late, it would be sold out." ”
Just after dawn on Sunday morning, a colleague of Liu Lang's mother came to the door and shouted.
Liu Lang's mother had just finished making breakfast, and ran out without even wiping the alabaster, and rode on a bicycle with this colleague and ran to the three department stores.
It was only at noon that the mother rushed back, holding a yellow horse in her hand, and was immediately discovered by the neighbors after entering the alley, and ran to the front one by one and touched it with her hands, and let out a sound of admiration.
"Son, this cloth mother will make you a dress. ”
Mother walked into the house and said to Liu Lang.
"Mom, I don't go out, I don't need it, you and Dad should use it. ”
Liu Langke looks down on this kind of "really good".
"It's okay, you don't need much material for your clothes, and you can make a blouse for your dad after you're done......... That's it!"
In the next few days, Liu Lang's mother carefully made a dress for Liu Lang with a sewing machine, but when Liu Lang put it on and walked outside, it caused a discussion among the neighbors.
"This old Liu family is really rich in making clothes for their children!"
"What do you know? The old Liu family is friends with the big leaders in the province, and now they are rich, I heard that it is really good to buy five meters, and everyone has a surplus of wealth!"
"I think the Liu family is about to become a 10,000 yuan household now.........!"
In short, Liu Lang put on a really good fit that made many neighbors covetous, and they also wanted to buy it, but they couldn't buy it, because it was all sold out in just three days on the market, and Liu Lang's mother was able to buy it because her friend's relatives worked in a department store, and the other party left some for her in order to please her, or it would have been sold out long ago.
However, many of those who sneak away from work to buy cloth in department stores are also deducted bonuses from factories on the grounds of arriving late and leaving early, but it is worth it.
The first batch of goods was snatched up within three days, but half a month later, the second batch of goods appeared in the department store, and there was a third batch of the fourth batch after being sold out again, until the Spring Festival of 1982, the heat brought by "really good" has been reduced, because more than 30% of the pedestrians on the street have worn clothes made of this fabric, which is no longer a scarce product.
Just after the Spring Festival in 1982, there was a kind of clothing called "bell bottoms" on the market, as the name suggests, the shape of the trouser legs resembled a trumpet, although many people have not seen the real body of "bell bottoms", but various legends have been circulated in private.
"Daughter-in-law, I heard Li Er say that he has a relative of the city leader's family who has a pair of bell bottoms, which are comfortable to wear, you go to the department store on the weekend to have a look, and if you have one, you can also buy one. ”
Liu Donglai said to his daughter-in-law.
"Sister Wang from my unit went, but there was no one at all, and she also told me to let me talk to the provincial leaders to see if I could get a pair of pants. ”
Liu Lang's mother shook her head and said.
"You can't go to Xiao Lao for this matter. ”
Liu Lang's father hurriedly replied.
"I'm stupid! buy a pair of pants and go to such a big leader. ”
The other party gave him a blank look.
"What do bell bottoms look like? I heard them say that these pants are now popular in the south, and many people envy them when they wear them. ”
For this kind of pants, Liu Lang's parents just heard about it.
"Bell-bottoms are a piece of!"
Liu Lang, who was sitting on the kang and looking at a Russian book, said secretly in his heart.
However, in this day and age, these bell bottoms are really fashionable, and if someone walks down the street wearing them, it will cause no less sensation than running naked.
"Flared pants and toad mirrors, sheep shear hats and big hair!"
It's synonymous with early 80s fashion, bell bottoms and toad mirrors are summer fashion, cashmere hats and brushed scarves are the vanguard of winter trends, and anyone who has these four clothes will be worshipped like idols.
And in another year or two, bodybuilding pants and leather jackets will also become popular, worn on the body and walking on the street, which is definitely comparable to Liu Lang's model at Milan Fashion Week in his previous life.
Obviously, there are bell bottoms in Fucheng, which means that the spring breeze of reform and opening up has come to such a remote town in the north, but Liu Lang believes that this kind of clothing into Fucheng is definitely not done by the local government, I am afraid that it is the group of southerners, more than ten years later, these people are collectively called "fallen masters", that is, "fallen masters" came to Fucheng.
A few days later, his second uncle walked into the house triumphantly wearing a pair of bell bottoms.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, how about looking at my bell bottoms?"
The second uncle shouted loudly when he entered the house, and he was followed by the third uncle and the old uncle, as well as two young men of eighteen or nineteen years old, and the flames of jealousy were about to burst out in their eyes.
"Dongxue, this is bell bottoms?"
Liu Lang's father asked and touched it with his hand.
"Don't touch it!"
Liu Lang's second uncle twisted his body to avoid the eldest brother's hand, and then carefully dusted it with his hand, as if there was really dust stuck to it.
"I bought these pants for ten yuan, and I haven't used a cloth ticket, so they look good!"
Liu Lang's second uncle said triumphantly.
"Er, where did you buy it?
Liu Lang's mother hurriedly asked.
"I'm telling you......... Go ahead, what are you boys going to do?
Liu Lang's second uncle shouted at the two young men behind him, and the other party was startled, but he still didn't leave.
"Second brother, we also want to buy it, just tell us, don't worry, we will never tell others!"
A man begged for mercy.
"Well, it's fine, then don't tell anyone!"
The other party's attitude made Liu Lang's second uncle very proud.
"I bought it from Majiapu, and a few southerners over there were secretly buying it, ten yuan a piece, not only pants, but they also had a thing called a cassette tape, which said it could sing on the radio, and I bought a cassette tape for five yuan, but we don't have that kind of radio. ”
Liu Lang's second uncle took out a tape from his trouser pocket, and as soon as the tape came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
I saw a photo of a woman on the cover, a very beautiful woman, and the men present were about to stay, not only men, but also Liu Lang's mother's eyes were straight.
"It's ......... Teresa Teng?"
Well, Liu Lang also knows this Teresa Teng, of course, how many people in the whole country don't know about this female singer?
This female singer from Wanwan sings a song that can raise blood sugar, so she is also known as the queen of sweet songs by later generations, and she is definitely the idol of Liu Lang's parents.
Don't talk about listening to her songs, you see, it's just seeing each other's photos that have taken away the souls of these people.
"Tape, Dongxue, you leave the tape here, and I'll buy a radio that can put her in a few days, and let you come and listen to it when the time comes." ”
Liu Lang's father said immediately.
"That's not going to work!"
Liu Lang's second uncle was a little anxious when he heard it.
At this time, the roar of Grandpa Liu Lang came from the door.
"Second child, you little rabbit cub, you spent more than ten yuan to buy a pair of torn pants, see if I don't cut you to death!"
Before the words fell, Liu Lang's grandfather rushed in with a fire hook in his hand, and he couldn't help but say that he was about to greet the other party.
"Dad, these are bell bottoms, bell bottoms!"
Liu Lang's second uncle shouted loudly in all directions, protecting his pants while dodging, I can beat me, but it won't work if I get my pants dirty.
"Give it to me!"
Liu Lang's father snatched the tape from the other party's hand at once, and then quickly put it in his clothes pocket.
"Dad, Dad, stop fighting, stop fighting!"
Liu Lang's mother hurriedly stopped his angry father, and Liu Lang's second uncle took the opportunity to run out, and the rest of the people dispersed in a hurry.
"This little rabbit cub, I really can't take care of it, it's more than ten dollars! It's all fucking spent on me, why don't you kill him?"
Liu Lang's second uncle is not married, and he has to give all his monthly income to his father, and he is now just a first-class worker, with a monthly salary of twenty yuan, spending half a month's salary to buy a pair of pants, for Liu Lang's grandfather, it is a typical loser behavior, of course, it has to be taught a lesson.
"Dad, the second child has grown up, besides, isn't this kind of bell bottoms fashionable?
Liu Lang's father cleared the siege for his younger brother.
"More than ten yuan, just buy me a pair of torn pants, it's too loser!"
Anyway, the money has already been spent, and Liu Lang's grandfather has no choice, so he was persuaded by his eldest son to go back after a while, but Liu Lang's second uncle is definitely going to be scolded.
The second uncle bought bell bottoms from Majiabao, which is no secret, just half a month later, Liu Lang saw someone wearing pants on the road in front of the house and pedaling the car speeding by, and the pedestrians around him really stopped to pay "attention to the salute", this person raised his head with his chest up, and his chin was upturned to the sky, looking like he was the only one in the sky and on the ground.
