Chapter 36 -36
Zhang Yaohua did what he said about going to the county seat, and on the second day after returning from the mission, Zhang Yaohua led Yangmei to the county seat to take the truck he bought to the county seat.
The truck drove forward quickly, and it took about an hour to arrive at the intersection of the county, and Zhang Yaohua told the soldiers in charge of purchasing the approximate time to go back, and then led Yangmei along the main road of the county seat into the county seat unhurriedly.
The heavy feeling of the 80s still fills this small county town, and the weather has been sunny these days, and there are naturally a lot more people on the street than when Yangmei first arrived.
"If you want to buy books and materials related to the college entrance examination review, it is estimated that only Xinhua Bookstore sells them in the entire county, so go to the bookstore first and buy the books before reading others." Zhang Yaohua mentioned that the main purpose of coming to the county seat today was to buy books for bayberry.
"Okay, I still lack some daily things at home, and I'll go back after I buy books." Yangmei also agreed with Zhang Yaohua's words, the lack of things at home cannot be guaranteed to be large, and the arrangement of buying things first and then large is still more reasonable, and it is convenient to carry.
After discussing, the two walked in the direction of Xinhua Bookstore.
From their location to the Xinhua bookstore, they have to pass through a relatively large intersection on the way, which is relatively large, and many people set up small stalls on the side of the road at the intersection to sell some small items or some steamed buns, soup and noodles.
When passing through the intersection, looking at the stalls set up in twos and threes, Yangmei looked at it casually, it is not noon, and there is no one in front of the food stall, even if there is, it is also a scattered one or two, it is estimated that the stall is out of the stall in the morning and has breakfast at this time.
But soon Yangmei's eye was drawn to one of the stalls, which was a small stall selling books.
"I'll go see what books are out there." After saying that, he walked to the bookstall .
Yangmei passed, and Zhang Yaohua couldn't let Yangmei alone, so he had to follow Yangmei over.
The books of the bookstall are directly placed on a linoleum cloth spread on the ground, there are not many books, but there are also a lot of them, and the books on it are even more varied, there are new and old, it can be said that it includes ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, even high school textbooks, and college entrance examination review materials, not to mention those old books that look old, Yangmei looks conservatively estimated that there are a lot of years, but these old books are piled up by the bookstall owner and he is a snakeskin bag, which looks a little messy.
Looking at these, Yang Mei laughed and greeted the bookstall owner, "Big brother, you still listen to all the books here, and they look pretty good." ”
When the bookstall owner heard this, eh, he started a business, and immediately put a smile on his face, and responded enthusiastically, "The big sister's vision is good, and I can guarantee you that the books here are the cheapest in the county." Then the bookstall owner picked up a book full of English and patted it, "You see, such a book full of tadpole texts costs at least three or four yuan in Xinhua Bookstore, and you can buy it for less than one dollar here, which is cheap enough!" After speaking, he shook the book in his hand.
The English book in the hands of the bookstall owner Yang Mei knew that it was a world masterpiece, even if the pages were yellowed, but the book looked sixty percent new, and it was not difficult to see that the previous owner of the book kept it very well.
"It looks good, the books are quite complete," Yang Mei praised casually, then casually picked up the materials related to the college entrance examination and flipped through them, and asked nonchalantly, "How do you sell these books in your bookstall?" ”
Yang Mei asked not about the book in her hand, but about the entire bookstall she asked.
After looking at the books that Yang Mei picked up, the bookstall owner said in a tone of good luck for you, "Hey, big sister, you have picked up a treasure, this book is what I received from our county high school, you look at the name of the door, this person was the first of the five students in our county last year who were admitted to the university, and the group of students sold the books after the exam, and said that if they don't sell it, they won't be able to pass the exam, tsk, the result is still for them!" ”
The owner of the bookstall boasted effortlessly, these are the old books he collected when he collected the rags, and they were sold to the paper mill for less than a dime, and it was better to make more money by selling them alone, and now there is a fat sheep, and if he doesn't kill him when he has the opportunity, he will be a fool!
The bookstall owner touts the books on his bookstall so effortlessly, his purpose is so that Yangmei can't see it, and the eyes that look at them like looking at fat sheep are shining, but Yangmei has no intention of being the boss, she wants to buy the books, but these are not enough, and he said with a smile, "Eh, boss, this book is good, but you also know where the old books are compared to the new books, I came to see what you have here, and if you don't have my heart, I have to go to Xinhua Bookstore to find it." ”
The casualness in Yangmei's tone made the bookstall owner a little uncertain, thinking that he didn't set up a stall for a day or two, and he didn't slaughter the nerds who came to his bookstall to buy books before, could it be that this time he looked away, and this was not a fat sheep in front of him? Then he asked in a tentative tone, "Big sister, you don't fancy the books on my bookshelf?" ”
"No, I'll take a look, by the way, boss, what if I fancy the price of these books on your bookstall?" Yang Mei put down the college entrance examination review materials she had taken before, and turned her hand to open a book with pictures similar to squares, such books are generally only available in the library of primary schools, and the one Yang Mei took was printed with the words Snow White.
The bookstall owner was a little unsure of what books Yangmei wanted to buy, all of a sudden it was the college entrance examination review related materials, and suddenly it became such a small book, the small vendor at this time was not as shrewd as the later generations, and under the premise of not being sure, the bookstall owner had to say, "Eh, big sister, I won't tell you that I collected this book when I collected it, and I just wanted a personal salary, you look at what you want, and when the time comes, you will be given a solid price, and it can be regarded as opening today." ”
The owner of the stall who couldn't slaughter the fat sheep was a little disappointed, but it was better than no business, and it would be good to set up a stall like him, and it would be good to have a few people a day, but fortunately, he still made a lot of money every time he sold it.
Hearing that the bookstall owner was relieved, Yangmei was polite to the different bookstall owner, and after a few brushes, he chose all the books he wanted, not only the previous college entrance examination materials, but also a lot of original English books, like those small books Yangmei also picked a lot, and after choosing, he put it in front of the comfortable boss and said, "Boss, you said before, the solid price, the price is reasonable, you have earned and I don't lose, everyone is good!" ”
This hello and I am good posture made the bookstall a little crying and laughing, in front of Yangmei, a senior peddler, the bookstall owner had no combat effectiveness at all. Yes, the fat sheep is gone, although it doesn't make much, but at least it is earned, and it can be regarded as a good fate, "Okay, you must be given a solid price, you can't suffer a loss." ”
When doing business, I am afraid of encountering a ruthless person, and the bookstall owner can see that Yangmei has a way to let him sell books to her cheaply, or that sentence, just make money.
It can be seen that the bookstall owner does not do business for a day or two, and the price of a bunch of books is quickly calculated, "A total of ten yuan and three cents and five cents, big sister, you have a lot of books, I will calculate this price according to the solid price, I guarantee that you will not suffer." ”
This tone is a sincere one, I am afraid that bayberry will not buy it if it is too expensive, you must know that ten yuan may buy four to five catties of meat, and ordinary people are reluctant to spend so much money on these useless books.
The owner of the bookstall at this price said it sounded good, but Yangmei was not stupid, more than ten yuan was not much, but it was also a lot, "Boss, I can't resist your price, I sincerely want the book, but ......"
"But what?" The bookstall owner asked.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little expensive." Yang Mei said, her eyes looking at the old books piled up on the snakeskin bag by the bookstall owner.
The bookstall owner immediately understood it when he looked at Yang Mei's eyes, and said, "That's good, big sister, I'll give you these old books, can you?" "Old books are old books.
How could Yangmei not understand the principle of accepting it when it is good, the words of the bookstall owner were in line with Yangmei's meaning, and he said without changing his face, "Since the boss is so generous, I am not stingy, then okay, just follow your wishes, boss." ”
As soon as the bookstall owner heard that Yangmei should come down to mention him, he put the old books piled up by the snakeskin bag and the pile of books selected by Yangmei together, Yangmei took out the cloth bag she brought in time and packed these books, and after loading them, she paid the money, and pulled Zhang Yaohua, who was accompanying Yangmei to buy books and carry books, and left the bookstall when she left, "What books do you need in the future, come to me to take care of the business!" ”
From the very beginning on the edge of the bookshelf, Zhang Yaohua saw what Yangmei wanted to do, Yangmei's main purpose was the old books used by the bookstall owner to be a companion, and the plan to save Zhao with this siege Wei achieved the best of both worlds, the old books were not only in hand, but also bought the college entrance examination books used by the first high school students in the county last year, Zhang Yaohua thought to himself that his little wife was really smart.
Far away from the bookstell, Yang Mei showed a little smug smile and said in her mouth, "Hehe, this time I really made a lot of money, fortunately the bookstall owner doesn't know the goods, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy so many books for more than ten yuan." ”
"That's your eye for pearls." Zhang Yaohua praised, and his eyes were also infected with the joy of bayberry.
Yangmei's current appearance is not at all like before, which makes Zhang Yaohua know more about Yangmei, Zhang Yaohua thought, if Yangmei can often be like this in the future, relax when you can relax, don't always press things to the bottom of your heart, because his shoulders will always be the most solid support of Yangmei.
"That's for sure, I'll tell you secretly, some of these books I bought will be very valuable in the future." Yangmei smiled like a cat that had succeeded in stealing.
Isn't it something valuable, Yangmei opened a restaurant in her previous life, and it can be said that it is a place of high-end consumption in her city, and the level of acquaintances is naturally much higher than that of ordinary consumption places, and there are some collectors and the like among the people I know, not to mention that I understand those old things clearly, but I can also know a thing or two, like some old books with years contain a lot of value, and now Yangmei has these in her hands, even if it is not for the monetary value of these things in the future, It's also for that collection value, after all, this is all left by the ancestors, and it's a pity to throw it away like garbage.
Yangmei's kitten-like appearance tickled Zhang Yaohua's heart, and a feeling rose in his heart that made him want to hold Yangmei in his arms and knead it, this thought made him cough a little uncomfortably, "If you like it, if you want it in the future, I'll take you over to find it." ”
Satisfying his wife's wishes is what a husband should do, and it is a natural thing to love his wife, Zhang Yaohua thought.
"Okay, I'll come when you have time." Zhang Yaohua's mention of bayberry did not refuse, and he responded with a mouthful.
"No problem, the book has been bought, now let's go to the things that are missing in the buyers, and go to the county department store to have a look first?" Zhang Yaohua said.
"Eun, okay." Yang Mei nodded.
Yangmei walked beside Zhang Yaohua, the sun shone on Zhang Yaohua's body, dyed a layer of gold on Zhang Yaohua's body, and secretly looked at Zhang Yaohua, Yangmei thought, this is dependence.
※※※
The department store in F County is a four-storey building, which has not been built for a long time, and it still looks very new compared to the house next to it, but because the whole building is covered with a layer of gray fine sand for decoration, the whole building still exudes a sense of heaviness.
In this era, in the economically backward small county, the department store can be regarded as a place for high-end consumption, many people can feel lucky to be able to hold this iron rice bowl, you must know that the iron rice bowl is a lifetime of protection, so many people who work in the department store have developed a sense of superiority, selling goods is to see people eat, for those who can buy at a glance is naturally smiling like a spring breeze, and those who look like poor ghosts are looking at people with their nostrils, As for why, it is because there is a department store in the whole county, not to buy it here, then you have to go to other counties to buy, and the attitude of the salesperson who goes to the department store in other counties is not necessarily better than this, many people choose to endure it, endure it, more is better than less, and then talk about the things in hand.
So even if the attitude of the salesperson is not good, there are still many people who come to the department store to buy things.
Zhang Yaohua and Yangmei came to the department store and went directly to the place where daily chemical products were placed on the first floor, although Zhang Yaohua prepared the things at home before Yangmei's arrival, but after all, he is a man, and there will inevitably be omissions in doing things, just like the shampoo used by women, Zhang Yaohua did not prepare, Yangmei's problem of washing her hair these days is still solved by Wan Juan, otherwise when you go to the county seat to buy it at this time, your hair will stink.
The counter is filled with a variety of daily chemical products, the most popular shampoo in this era is the snowflake brand shampoo, the paste is pink, the fragrance is not pungent, the price is acceptable to the public, it has occupied the large, medium and small markets of country Z for more than ten years, but later due to the reform of state-owned enterprises and the invasion of new products of foreign enterprises, shampoo disappeared in the economic wave.
"Comrade, get two tubes of shampoo, ask for the Snowflake brand." Yang Meitong said to the salesman who was sitting at the counter and eating melon seeds.
The salesman was snorting the melon seeds, and it was inevitable that he would not be happy in his heart when he interrupted it, so he patiently took out two tubes of shampoo cream from the counter and threw them in front of Yangmei, "Two tubes and three pieces." The tone was full of impatience.
The salesman looks like twenty-five or sixteen, born from the heart, from her pair of hanging triangle eyes can see that there is a trace of meanness, of course, this point is impossible for the salesperson himself to find, at this time she is annoying, her brother-in-law is a director of the department store, last year said that she was transferred to the garment counter on the second floor at this time this year, the garment counter is much better than she guarded these daily chemical products, but she waited for a long time but waited for the garment counter to change to the stationery counter, robbed someone of a position, how could she be in a bad mood, upright, whoever comes is unlucky!
For the special products of this era, how could Yangmei care about the salesman, directly pay to pick up the alabaster and change it to the stationery counter with Zhang Yaohua, the attitude of the salesman here is much better, and he chose a suitable pen, and then chose a bottle of black pen ink, plus five homework books.
When paying, the salesman asked, "Comrade, our department store has bought some better brushes this time, I think Comrade is a literate person, do you want to choose one?" "The salesperson who was in charge of the stationery counter went to the ready-to-wear counter on the second floor, and now the salesperson knows from his attitude that the other party has only been in the department store for a short time.
"Can you show me that?" The other party's attitude obviously pleased Yangmei, and Yangmei also accepted the other party's kindness.
"Yes." The stationery counter salesperson took out a handful of brushes from the counter, and the workmanship of these brushes was better than the other ones in the counter.
Yangmei took it in her hand and looked at it, and selected a soft pen, poor elasticity of the wool short front, the previous salesman said that the quality is better, and it is not much worse if you think about it.
If you choose a brush, you have to choose ink, matching, but there is no square ink here in the department store, so Yangmei had to choose a bottle of ink to use temporarily, and then change it when there is a good one.
Things don't look like much, but they cost a lot of money, and stationery supplies are still relatively expensive compared to other items at this time.
After leaving the stationery counter, Yang Mei pulled Zhang Yaohua and said, "It's rare to come to the department store once, Yaohua, look at what you want to buy, let's take this opportunity to buy all, so as not to go back to the army when you need it." ”
Yang Mei also has her own considerations when she says this, now it is almost the end of March, there are not many days before the college entrance examination, her main energy is still on the college entrance examination review during the period before the college entrance examination, and it is estimated that she will not come to the county seat a few times in the future, so she will prepare things at this time.
"I don't have it here for the time being, the things at home mainly depend on you, if you think there is anything missing at home, we will go to deal with the missing part." Zhang Yaohua didn't feel that he needed to prepare anything, but said to Yang Mei, "Let's go to the county education bureau to ask about the college entrance examination in a while, and see if you can take the exam here, if not, you have to go back to your hometown to see the situation." ”
Zhang Yaohua's words made Yang Mei nod, and there was obvious relief in her tone, "Yes, you're right, look at me, I didn't notice this, if you hadn't reminded me, if I couldn't take the exam here at that time, and I couldn't catch up when I went back to my hometown, I would have been delayed this year." Speaking of which, Yang Mei couldn't help but sigh for her negligence, although she knew that the current college entrance examination was a national unified examination, but she really didn't pay attention to whether she could take the provincial exam.
Fortunately, Zhang Yaohua reminded him, otherwise he would have suffered a loss.
"You are busy preparing for the exam, it is inevitable that you will be negligent, it's okay, isn't it time to register yet, now let's go to the Education Bureau to ask about the specific situation." Zhang Yaohua softly comforted Yangmei, in his eyes, Yangmei has experienced few things, and it is normal not to notice this, and when he has experienced more things, he can slowly think about it.
