But in the end, they didn't find the fabric they wanted in the department store.

Of all the cloths, there is the most blue khaki, and it is simply too difficult to find the kind of cloth that Yun Qi imagined, not to mention the printed chiffon, and even the only lace that does not look very good in texture is priced higher than the sky.

Zhu Meimei, who had been shouting that price was not a problem, was also full of disgust in her eyes.

"Just this thing, you want this price, why don't you rob it?"

"Meimei, is there any other place in Longyang City that sells fabrics, such as bazaars and wholesale markets?"

Zhu Meimei's words to Yun Qi were strange again, especially the word wholesale market.

"The wholesale market you mentioned, I only heard my father say that in the south, where the reform and opening up is the hottest, there is that kind of market, if we want to have it in Longyang City, we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. ”

When Zhu Meimei said this, there was a deep helplessness on her face.

"I studied in the provincial capital for three years, and even the provincial capital does not have a large-scale wholesale market, but there are many more stalls than in Longyang City, and I heard that they all go to Guangdong to get goods. ”

Yun Qi frowned, she kept searching for useful information in her memory.

In her memory, Yundu Province had the largest wholesale market in a few decades, and this market was in Longyang City.

However, when did it start to be built?

I really hate that I don't have a computer at hand, I don't have a mobile phone, otherwise it would be good to Baidu, and I can have any information.

Yun Qi remembered that when he was in college, when he was studying the history of domestic clothing development, the professor vaguely mentioned that the large wholesale market in Longyang City, which was established in the mid-eighties, was the largest wholesale market in the four surrounding provinces at that time, and was very famous in China and even internationally.

"No, it shouldn't. ”

Yun Qi muttered to herself, she felt that since it was the mid-eighties, and now it was 1983, it should be a little shadowy, but why did Zhu Meimei, a native, also say that she hadn't heard of it?

I blame myself for knowing too little before.

"Xiao Qi, what's wrong? What's wrong with you? What should we do now, it's really not good, why don't you go to the provincial capital?"

Yundu, the provincial capital, can take a train from Longyang City, but it also needs to take a day and a night, Yunqi is unwilling, and has been racking his brains in his memory, which road is the place called Longyang International Trade City.

It's really hard work, Yun Qi finally remembered, I remember that I had also come to the wholesale city of Longyang City in my previous life, and I also bought fabrics, and when I was working as a design assistant in a garment factory, I followed the team to purchase fabrics, and I took back the clothes I designed and won the award.

The size of the wholesale market in my memory amazed everyone.

With these memories, many of them have remembered that the road where the wholesale city is located is called Guantao Road, because it is not far from the riverside, next to the wholesale market, a food city has been built along the river, and it has become a major feature of Longyang City.

"Meimei, do you know that there is a road in Longyang City, called Guantao Road?"

Zhu Meimei felt that Yun Qi was a little strange, but in her body, too many things happened that she thought was incredible, so she followed her train of thought.

Zhu Meimei is still very familiar with Longyang City, after all, since she was a child, she often followed her father over, and now, she has returned to Longbaoshan Coal Mine to work, and sometimes she will come to meetings.

But when it comes to Guantao Road, I really haven't heard of it.

"Where did you hear this name, no, there are only a few streets in Longyang City, I can count them with my eyes closed, there must be no one called Guantao Road,"

"If you think about it, it's something like that. ”

While the two were talking, they had already walked out of the department store and walked far away, Zhu Meimei suddenly hesitated, but still spoke.

"I do know a place, called Guantao Village, this village because it is leaning on the river, that piece of river is just a place where the backwater is mound, the river is calm, and there is a big turn into it, so a lot of river fish will swim over, the villagers of this village, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to drink, relying on this unique river, they sell aquatic products, there are many people who come and go every day, are used to buy fish. ”

When Yun Qi heard this, his heart was overjoyed, Guantao Village and Guantao Road must be the same place.

"Let's go to Guantao Village. ”

Zhu Meimei felt that Yun Qi must be crazy.

"What's there to see there? And we're going to buy fish now, and the villagers are almost out of what they caught that day. ”

Yun Qi is also not sure what the huge wholesale city will look like in the future, and she doesn't dare to say it to death.

"Let's go over and have a look, maybe there's something we want to buy?"

Zhu Meimei was very resistant in her heart, "How is this possible, Xiao Qi, do you think that the villagers in the small village who fish for a living will have the fabric we want? You know, this is not even a department store, this is incredible." ”

Yunqi is also a little lacking in confidence, after all, it is only 1983, the fourth year of reform and opening up, and it will take time for this spring breeze to blow to the small inland city of Longyang City.

"Anyway, we don't have anywhere else to go now, the first time I came to Longyang City, you should be my guide, and I will go around. ”

Zhu Meimei loves to hear this sentence.

"It's pretty much the same, if you want to walk around, you can make it clear, anyway, if we can't find the fabric we want tomorrow, we'll go to the provincial capital together, that's it. ”

Yun Qi didn't expect Zhu Meimei to be so assertive, but there was another very important thing when she came to Longyang City, she came to find her second brother Yun Qiang, and then discussed how to deal with the old blind man.

"Meimei, if you want me to say, we don't have to be in such a hurry, you think, the train fare for the two of us to go to the provincial capital will cost a lot, although it is reimbursed at public expense, but it is too much, and it is not easy for you to go back to your father." ”

Zhu Meimei knew that Yun Qi had a point, but she was such a person who pursued perfection, and if she couldn't get what she wanted, she would feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, listen to you, stay two more days and think of a way. ”

It is still a little far to go to the Guantao Village that Zhu Meimei said, and there is no bus at all, the two of them took the car for more than half an hour, and after getting off at the nearest bus stop, they asked all the way, and it took almost an hour to walk.

"Xiao Qi, do you say that you are crazy, this is obviously the countryside, you have to come to visit this kind of place. ”

Along the way, there are many people riding bicycles or walking are already rushing back, many people are carrying a big fat fish or two, it seems that Zhu Meimei is right, this is indeed a small fishing village, and the reputation has also gone out, and the business is good.

When they were about to arrive, on the road, there was also a jeep driving by, which looked very tall, and flew past Yunqi and them as soon as they slipped through the smoke.

"See, who said this place is remote, and there are cars coming in. ”

Zhu Meimei was a little tired from walking, and she didn't bother to argue with Yun Qi.

"Okay, listen to you, go into the village and have a look, and let you die. ”
