"Ten portions of the same. ”

Grandma asked the salesman: "Comrade waiter, my family has a happy event, do you want to have more points?"

"How much do you want, if you don't have enough on the counter, you can go to the warehouse to pick it up. "The salesman saw that Grandma wanted a lot of things, and his attitude was more enthusiastic.

Yoyo commanded his grandmother to report the same number with his hand, and the salesman bowed his head to open the note, and finally closed it twice with an abacus, a total of ninety-two fast. It's cheap, thirty bags of sugar cubes, one pound per bag, and forty boxes of barrels of biscuits are less than 100 yuan.

Grandma counted out a hundred yuan and handed it to the salesman, and with a "whoosh" sound, she looked up and saw a spectacle.

There are many air slides between the counters, and the money collected at each counter is placed in a clip along with the receipt, and the salesperson pushes it to the cash register. The cashier then pushes back the stamped invoice along with the recovered change. The sound of the clips as they slide on the chute is interesting one after another.

The two asked for a large amount of things, and the salesman handed them the bill of lading and asked them to go to the warehouse to receive it directly.

The children's toy area is full of children, chattering and noisy, squeezing in to see, there are more than a dozen kinds of simple toys, plastic animal toys, small leather balls with color stripes, two or three kinds of dolls, kaleidoscopes, six-color Rubik's cubes, and all kinds of exquisite high-end toys in later generations, which are not at the same level at all.

However, Yoyo still asked for a kaleidoscope and a Rubik's Cube, and went home to play with his brother and Didi, poor baby, it is estimated that he has never bought toys since he was so old.

Laundry detergent and soap in the labor protection area must be purchased with a ticket, but soap can be bought casually. Barrels of Seagull brand shampoo, white plastic box with light blue paste, a barrel of 340 grams of Seagull brand shampoo is only six cents and two cents, Yoyo let grandma buy two buckets, and finally let the whole family get rid of washing hair with laundry detergent.

On the second floor are clothing, cloth, shoes and hats. The finished clothes are rigid and single, and the only ones for adults are cadre suits, Lenin suits and shirts. The cadre uniform is a jacket with three pockets, two pockets below, and one pocket at the left heart on the top, which is named because the cadres wear more.

Most of the clothes are blue, black, gray and white, and women's shirts are more pink, yellow, red, and green, which are basically monochrome and do not have floral patterns. Children's is inlaid with lace, pasted with animal patterns, the color is a little brighter, and some have a little small flowers.

Grandma bought my father a blue cadre uniform, with a top of 15 yuan and pants of 10 yuan. I bought my mother a blue Lenin suit, with a blouse of 14 yuan and pants for 8 yuan.

However, he also used up the cloth tickets brought by his grandmother, 15-foot cloth tickets for cadre uniforms, and 13-foot cloth tickets for Lenin. Now a person only has a 12-foot cloth ticket a year, according to my grandmother, this is still a lot, 70 years ago there was only a 6-foot cloth ticket a year.

Two clothes are only forty-seven yuan, and Yoyo once again sighed at the ultra-low prices at this time, but thinking about the salary of thirty or forty yuan a month for the staff during this period, it is really not cheap.

Yoyo asked grandma and grandpa to buy a pair of clothes, grandma said: "Your parents have jobs, often show up, and wear good clothes to have face, if you and I wear out, everyone has to say that we drag the foreign lamp skin (showing)." ”

In the knitting area, my grandmother bought more than a dozen sanitary clothes (cultural shirts), all of which were white, with "Agricultural Dazhai" or "Serving the People" printed on the chest of adults, and "Study hard" on children's chests. One piece for adults is two or three, and for children four to seven cents according to size.

There are three types of yarn in bundles in the wool area: pure wool, blended, and acrylic, all of which are coarse yarns, without fine bulking yarn and cashmere. The color is pure, the feel is soft, and the price is cheap, 12 yuan for a pound of pure wool, 10 yuan for blending, and 7 yuan and 5 cents for acrylic.

Yoyo asked grandma to buy three catties of navy blue pure wool yarn, enough for grandma and grandpa to knit two sweaters. The two old men are old, they are not frost resistant, and the sweaters inside are warm.

At this time, the pure wool yarn is of better quality, containing cashmere, the same thickness, the length is one-third more than that of later generations, which is what people call the number of comparisons.

In the cloth area, there are dozens of kinds of cloth in rolls on the shelves and horizontal on the counters. The colors used to make clothes are relatively simple, and there are also small flowers. There are a few that are really good, and the colors are quite beautiful.

The cotton cloth used to make the quilt is an eye-opener, although there are only a few, but the color is bright and the color is beautiful. Gorgeous red, green and blue background, printed with a large pattern of color contrast, peony blossoms, magpies climbing branches, mandarin ducks playing in the water, peacocks opening the screen are the most dazzling national style, later generations were designed into national costumes. The price is not high, 0.42 yuan a foot, but this cannot be bought at will, and a ticket must be distributed.

What really attracts the attention of Yoyo is the finished quilt surface, the silk quilt of Hangzhou Silk Factory, the silk surface is beautiful, and the color is purple and red: red, blue, green, yellow, and pink. The luster is different, the layers are rich, the patterns and patterns are prominent, there are flowers, birds, fish and insects, landscapes, and hundreds of pictures.

These quilts, soft and glutinous, touch them, as if touching the soft place in the heart, smell it, and the faint silk fragrance evokes a lot of familiar tastes. The price of such a delicate silk quilt is only 18 yuan, and there is no need for a cloth ticket. Yoyo pestered grandma to buy a bed for everything, a total of twelve beds.

The shoes and hats area is not interested, there are men's and women's leather shoes on the counter, but the style is dull and the workmanship is rough. From later generations, she admired handmade cloth shoes even more, which were healthy and comfortable. I bought two dozen cotton socks, seven or eight cents a pair for adults and three or four cents for children.

The third floor is hardware and office school supplies, "three turns and one ring" are sold here, but they all have to ask for tickets, and the two of them looked at it and went to stationery. Youyou saw that the "hero" brand fountain pen produced by SH was only sold for eight yuan, and his eyes lit up again, this is a gold pen, and later generations bought five or six thousand yuan each. Yoyo pestered grandma to buy a box of a total of twelve, and was pulled away by grandma.

"Little ancestor, if you buy it again, you won't have the money to pay the bill. ”

Youyou calculated, no, patronizing and picking up cheap, so many things added up to almost five hundred yuan, excluding the money of fragrant aconite, there was more than fifty yuan left.

Youyou was dragged by her grandmother, and left the department store step by step, and went to the warehouse behind the building to pick up the goods.

The staff may have been notified that something had been prepared and packed in a large cardboard box. Grandma checked the number and handed over the bill of lading. The staff found another strap to tie the carton so that it was easy for grandma to carry. Go out of the door, find a quiet place to hide, and the box enters the space.

In front of the department store is the Xinhua Bookstore. Yoyo remembered that his brother couldn't put down the villain book, so he pestered his grandmother to go in and buy it. As a result, I couldn't control it when I went in, and I bought more than 20 copies in one go, but fortunately the price was cheap, only one or two cents a piece, and it only cost more than four yuan in total.

I glanced at the posters, there were thirty or forty kinds, stacked on top of each other. It shouldn't have sold very well, and a layer of dust fell on it. Yoyo secretly planned to hurry up and earn money and buy all these posters.

When I got out of the Xinhua bookstore, I looked up and saw the big characters "Chinese People's Post", and I ran in directly and shouted sweetly to the saleswoman at the counter: "Auntie, can you get me a stamp?"

"Kid, what do you want stamps for?"

"My mother taught, taught students to write letters to their PLA uncles, and asked my grandmother to carry stamps. The grandmother who followed up had no choice but to say: "That's right." ”

The salesman took two kinds of stamps for Yoyo, and asked her with a smile: "That little friend, do you know how much you want?"

Although it is just an ordinary stamp, it is a valuable thing in Yoyo's eyes. "It's so pretty, Auntie, do you have anything else, my mother is a lot better. ”

"Yes, her mother taught two classes of Chinese. Grandma testified helplessly.

The salesman found seven types of stamps for Yoyo, including four commemorative stamps. Yoyo asked for ten, all of them were eights. Grandma paid five dollars and six cents, and walked out with Youyo tightly, not letting go.

"When you have money in the future, you can buy enough, and you can't spend any more money today. Grandma persuaded as she walked.
