Tian Guo still decided to go to Zhang Li first.

Early the next morning, Tian Guo cooked two bowls of noodles for breakfast, one for himself and one for his grandmother. Thinking that he would have to work all morning, he beat an extra egg to treat himself in advance.

Or according to the point of going to work in the past, I first took a car to Yong'anli, the time was too early, there were no shops on Xiushui Street, the street was deserted, and there were rare pedestrians and bicycles passing through.

Tian Guo understood this reason, stretched out his hand to stop an uncle with a kind face, and asked: "Uncle, please ask you something, is there a department store near here?" ”

"Yes!" The uncle turned around and raised his hand to the left and pointed: "Go straight from this street, turn left at the first intersection, and you can see it after walking about two or three hundred meters." The shop is called 'Dafang'. ”

"Thank you." Tian Guo thanked him and walked in the direction of the store.

Just after half past seven, the shop had not yet opened, and the roller shutter door was open, but there were already many citizens waiting at the door, some squatting on the ground to eat breakfast, and some standing aside and chatting.

"What are you here to buy?"

"Hey, yesterday my second girl was engaged, and today I came here to see if there is a festive quilt!"

"Yo, get married, that's a big deal, why did you come here to see the quilt? You should go to Dashilar's Ruifuxiang or the textile counter on the second floor of Xidan Shopping Mall. ”

"Hey, I'm not flexible in my legs, I'm too lazy to go! What are you here to buy? ”

"Look at the kettle. Yesterday a naughty little boy came to the house and kicked the pot to pieces. ”

"Ouch, kids are naughty these days! Where is it like when we were children, we couldn't kick a fart with three feet! ”

"But no, not only naughty, but also very noble, only child, there is only one in the family, grandparents don't know how to spoil well, kicked and broke my warm pot, no one comforted me, but went to see the child, fortunately the child was not burned, otherwise it would not be a place to rely on my warm pot. What do you say in cross talk? My kettle is holding your feet from falling to the ground."

The customer talked with humor, and the people around him laughed, and then they also began to talk about the bad things about the only child. This made Tian Guo, who was the only child of two lives, very embarrassed. Hey, in fact, the only child is also miserable, and after 30 years, there are old and young, and two young people can support at least four old people and a child, right! Later, the country opened up the two-child policy. Damn! Running around like a grandson all day long, where is the blessing?

Finally, at half past eight, the roller shutter door of the department store "whirred" open, and customers rushed in.

In fact, Tian Guo didn't know what to buy for Zhang Li, and felt that a woman like Zhang Li must have seen the world, and ordinary gifts couldn't get into her eyes. That day, Zhang Li didn't seem to smoke either, and Tian Guo walked around the department store before stopping in front of the cosmetics counter.

As long as you are a woman, you have to be interested in skin care products, right?

After a few glances, the face oil is still the same, friendship, Yu Meijing, Zhenermei, violet, and starlight Dabao have not yet been produced, and it will take a few years to see them in the market. Supplies are scarce, scarce! I don't know what to buy as a gift!

"What do you buy?" The salesman came over and asked.

"Hello, what are the different types of shampoo?"

Shampoo also became popular after the 80s, and used soap and light alkaline water to wash hair, and to pay more attention to it, it used "egg yolk" brand shampoo and shampoo powder.

Shampoo cream is also served in general public baths, and there is no conditioner for eight cents a sachet.

However, the name "shampoo" was not popular in the 80s, and salespeople still liked to say "shampoo". "You ask about shampoo, the best ones are egg yolk brand and bee flower." Raise your finger and point to the counter. The shampoo of the bee flower is familiar, an old brand, and a boutique among domestic products.

But these two brands of shampoo are relatively popular, not special enough, and it is estimated that they will not be able to enter Zhang Li's eyes. Tian Guo's gaze continued to search the counter, and finally stopped at a green bottle called "Wellabao".

"What's that? Is it also shampoo? ”

The salesman looked in the direction of her finger, "You say this?" Wellabao? ”

"Hmm."

"It's shampoo, but it's expensive!"

"It's okay, you can show it to me." Since you ask someone to do things and give gifts, who is afraid of being expensive, you are afraid that there are no characteristics to make people laugh. It's possible to mess things up.

Wellabao is a German product, and when filming a period drama before rebirth, Tian Guo saw it once, a green bottle and a yellow bottle, washing and caring separately.

"How much does this bottle cost?" Tian Guo shook the bottle.

"A bottle is 2 yuan, plus conditioner is 3 yuan five!"

2 yuan, 250 ml, it's really expensive! Tian Guo gritted his teeth, "You bring me a bottle!" ”

"Do you want conditioner?"

"Yes!"

Spending three yuan and five to buy shampoo was considered a luxury in the eighties, and the salesman had a bright heart, and saw that Tian Guo should have bought it for gifts, and how bad it looked when he held two bottles of shampoo, and he specially gave her a white plastic bag when he left.

This can be regarded as packaging, Tian Guo thought to himself. When I returned to Silk Street, some of the shops had already opened their doors to welcome customers, but it was still a deserted street, basking in the sun, and every place was lazy. The eldest brother who sells shoes also knows Tian Guo, thinking why this girl is here again, the feather duster quickly swept the stall, and then sat on the rocking chair with his eyes closed and pretended to sleep!

It wasn't until Tian Guo walked over without squinting that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Zhang Li came, Tian Guo bought a copy of last night's "Beijing Evening News" from a nearby newsstand, and because it expired, the boss asked for a penny. Tian Guo came back with a newspaper in his hand, a cushion under his buttocks, and then the newspaper was spread on his lap, waiting for Zhang Li while watching the news.

It wasn't until near noon that Zhang Li was late on the tricycle, which was full of clothes, and Tian Guo hurriedly ran over when he saw it.

"Sister Li!"

"Oh, it's you, why are you here again today? Don't go to work? Zhang Li got out of the car, her clothes were spread out in the car, she picked up a stack and walked towards her stall.

Tian Guo Maojiao just said that he wanted to help her, but Zhang Li said: "Sensei, I'll come by myself, you help me open the stall." ”

The stall was covered with a rag like an old sheet, a bit like a curtain, and Tian Guo pulled open the rag, choking her three times on the dust that had fallen overnight. The marching bed inside was open, Zhang Li threw her clothes on the bed, turned around and went to pick up the stack.

Tian Guo also helped hug together. There are really a lot of clothes, and it took two runs to completely hug them.

"Pick, they're all new, give you the lowest price!" Zhang Li said briskly.

Tian Guo didn't move his clothes, but took out the two bottles of Wellabao shampoo from his schoolbag and handed them over, "Sister Li, you take this first!" ”

Zhang Li was well-informed and knew that Tian Guo had come prepared, so she waved her hand and smiled: "Come on, it's useless, you just say, what's the matter with me?" ”

Although she smiled, the enthusiasm in her eyes dropped a few degrees, and she looked at Tian Guo with a little guard. In fact, Tian Guo also knew that it was rash to come to Zhang Li today, and he was not familiar with others, so how could he ask someone to do something as soon as he came up? You have to count down a period of time. But time is pressing, Tian Guo doesn't want to delay any longer, and can't wait to set up a stall to do business at this moment.

After thinking for a while, Tian Guo decided to get straight to the point: "Sister Li, I also want to come to Xiushui to set up a stall, you can help me." ”

Zhang Li was stunned, she didn't expect Tian Guo to do this, and thought that she was going to take care of her borrowing money! "You sit here and wait." Zhang Li carried a handful of Mazha for Tian Guo, carried a kettle to a nearby shared water room to get a pot of hot water, came back and washed two cups, put some jasmine tea in it, and after brewing, handed a cup to Tian Guo, and kept a cup for herself.

After taking a small sip, Zhang Li asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Yonedaka."

"Oh, the surname is rice, Yonetianguo, just now you said you wanted to come to Xiushui to set up a stall?"

"Hmm."

Zhang Li was silent for a moment before asking: "That's it, let's not go around the bush, we have to have funds to do business, how much money do you have in your hands now?" ”

This really asked Tian Guo's pain, "200." ”

"All your savings?"

Tian Guo nodded with difficulty.

Zhang Li smiled and smiled bitterly, "Oh sister, I didn't hit you, 200 yuan is not enough for you to go back and forth in Guangdong!" ”

Tian Guo was silent, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the glass. After a while, he said: "If you don't go to Guangdong to buy goods, like you do today, can it be cheaper to buy from others?" ”

"Can't!" Zhang Li said categorically, as if a basin of cold water was spilled out, "Do you think it's easy to buy goods from others?" Sue you, the chances of losing money are greater! Have you ever heard of a trade called gambling on stones in the antique circle? ”

Tian Guo nodded: "I know, that is, the jade is not cut, the buyer only looks at the appearance, if he hits it, he will buy it home, and if it is jade inside, he will earn it, if not, he will accompany it." ”

"That's right!" Zhang Li nodded approvingly, thinking that Tian Guo was not very old, and a girl born and raised in the alley was quite knowledgeable, "My pile of clothes is similar to gambling stones." You have also seen it, I am alone in this stall, I can't go to Guangdong to buy goods if I have nothing to do, I only go four or five times a year, and the rest of the time I have to buy from others, where is it easy to buy other people's goods? Several large bags of clothes are piled up in the warehouse, and you can pick up a bag of clothes for 200 yuan, and you can't see what's inside! Raising his finger and pointing to the hill-like clothes in front of him, "These clothes are good at a glance, and if you set aside five out of ten pieces for a single piece, you can buy them even if you earn them." Once I gambled on clothes and bought 5 big bags to go home, but the three bags were all poor quality jeans, to put it mildly, it was the garbage worn by foreigners, who do you say buy? ”

"That's disgusting, what if that foreigner is sick?" Tian Guo frowned, "No one cares?" If you buy from him, the quality of the clothes can't be guaranteed, but the source of the purchase should be guaranteed, right? ”

"Guaranteed fart!" As soon as she mentioned this, Zhang Li was so angry that her throat smoked, took a sip of tea, and then said: "It's a big deal that I won't buy from that person in the future, but the world is as black as a crow, and every once in a while I will encounter such a thing, or I will say that it is not easy for women to do business, he sees that you are a woman, and sometimes he deliberately bullies you and disgusts you. Drink with you too? Wouldn't that be a broken shoe! ”
