"Well, a little further to the left! Good! Lin Qiangsheng commanded the girls and pasted the advertising posters brought by Qi Wei on the wall.

"Johnson & Johnson, hurry up! Let's take a long time! Zhang Tianjiao stood on the stool and shouted to Lin Qiangsheng.

"Yes, that's good!" Lin Qiangsheng took out the aluminum strips prepared in advance, stepped on the stool and nailed the aluminum strips to the corners of the advertising paintings.

This large advertising picture was fixed on four wooden slats prepared in advance, Zhang Tianjiao and Du Ping jumped down, and the girls looked at the realistic watches on the advertising painting and admired in amazement.

"How did you draw this?" Zhang Tianjiao took a closer look, and rubbed his finger again.

"It's really painted!" She said in amazement.

Qi Wei smiled behind him, he squeezed his eyes at Lin Qiangsheng, and whispered, "These girls are so good!" It's all about being a model! ”

Lin Qiangsheng glanced at him and said, "Don't tell them this, they are amazing, they are all educated youths who came back from the countryside, they have a big temper, and they can eat you!" ”

Qi Wei smiled and said, "I'm just talking!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng pulled Qi Wei into the cloth shop, took out a pile of ten-yuan bills from his bag, a total of one hundred yuan, and handed it to him.

Qi Wei counted it several times, lifted his coat, stuffed the money into his inner pocket, and patted it again and again.

"A hundred dollars is a lot, it's really refreshing to paint for you! If you have any work next time, you must find me! Qi Wei raised his eyebrows and said.

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "That's also your good drawing, if there is no good effect, I won't give you money." ”

Seeing off Qi Wei, Lin Qiangsheng clapped his hands and said, "Girls, during today's lunch break, maybe someone will come to the store to see the strangeness, are you ready?" ”

Zhang Tianjiao and the three girls, Xu Yingnan, Li Yuge, and Wu Yingying, raised their arms together and shouted: "Ready!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, just now he specially took the girls to eat a good meal and ordered a few meat dishes, so that they can have a full energy today.

"Alright, let's all go to the store. Get ready to prepare, it's time for lunch break in the factory! Lin Qiangsheng looked at his watch and said.

Zhang Tianjiao and the other three girls immediately returned to the shop. The store sells not only watches, but also other goods. Lin Qiangsheng procured New Year's goods such as candies, preserves, meat and a few vegetables from private vendors or rural areas. Although there are not many varieties, there is money to buy them.

In two days it will be New Year's Day in 1979, and in another month it will be the Spring Festival. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Qiangsheng upgraded this small shop to a haberdashery store, and he planned to make a quick buck before the Spring Festival.

Lin Qiangsheng looked back at Du Ping, Zhao Yin, and Xue Shenghong, and said with a smile: "You also have to cheer up, during the Spring Festival, there will definitely be many people who want to buy fabrics to make clothes, and this time will be busy." ”

Du Ping and the three nodded, and the seven girls who had been exercising in the cloth shop for a while could talk to customers. Especially Du Ping, who measures the body size of the guests, is called a Mali, although she is not very good at speaking, but she is sincere and has won the favor of many customers.

Lin Qiangsheng stood on the avenue and looked at the gate of the automobile factory.

After a while, the alarm clock rang from the factory, and the sound was already very small.

In addition to the workers on duty, all the other workers in the factory have started their lunch break. Soon someone rode out of the factory, and gradually the blue overalls converged into a blue wall.

As the workers approached, they saw a huge painting on a wall facing the street. Draw a delicate men's watch, it is so realistic that it is like the real thing, it is very eye-catching!

In the upper left corner of the canvas, in white, there is also a bold text written "Wear a Guoxi brand watch, let you control the time from now on!" ”

"What is this??" Workers speculated.

"Hey, this big watch is drawn? It's like that! "Some workers have good eyes, and when they get closer, they can see the watch on the wall, and it turns out that it is painted!

"What brand of watch is this? Guoxi brand? ”

"Just go in and see!" Some workers stopped their cars to watch, while others locked their cars and walked to the store.

Lin Qiangsheng was at the door and hurriedly ran into the store.

He beckoned the girl and said, "Hurry up and get ready, if someone comes to ask, tell them that they don't need a ticket for a Guoxi brand watch, and you can buy it if you have money!" The unit price is 90 yuan, and the lowest price is 80! ”

Zhang Tianjiao and the other three girls suddenly became nervous, although they practiced very well, but there was still a trace of uneasiness, without the crowd swarming, it was difficult to imagine such a scene.

Soon, workers in blue overalls flocked into the small shop, and the small space was immediately filled with workers looking at their watches.

"Does this sell watches? It's the same as the one on the picture? When the workers came in, they asked the girls.

Zhang Tianjiao and the three of them hurriedly squeezed the counter with their bodies, Lin Qiangsheng stood on a high place, looked at the crowd pouring in, and shouted loudly: "Don't squeeze, the place is small!" Have you seen it, this is, Guoxi brand watch! He was holding a men's copper-shelled watch, exactly like the one in the painting.

"Yo, isn't this the factory director's son? When did you start selling watches?! Someone whispered.

"You don't know this, these two small shops are opened by him!" Someone whispered.

"What a toss! Don't be afraid to toss yourself in! Someone muttered.

Nowadays, in society, not no one is secretly doing business and setting up stalls, and there are also shops, but they are often relatively hidden. There are still very few people like Lin Qiangsheng who open a store at the crossroads.

This winter is a special winter, and it seems that there are suddenly a lot more people doing small businesses on the streets. I heard that in the center of the city, there is also a morning market. The common people slowly feel the different atmosphere from previous years this year!

The customers who came in were quiet, looking at Lin Qiangsheng's watch held up on a high place, and someone asked, "How are the watches sold?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said loudly: "The watch is 90 yuan a piece, both men and women's watches!" No tickets! ”

"We also have candy, preserves, vegetables and meats here, don't even need a ticket! There are still 30 days left, and it will be the Spring Festival. Workers, you can come here if you haven't done the New Year's goods, I guarantee that the price here is absolutely fair! ”

The workers all smiled, they were really greedy for the goods in the small shop, and most of the eyes were focused on the frozen meat by the window. Some workers looked and turned to go out, while others squeezed forward to ask for the price.

"How do you sell this pork?" A worker in his mid-30s asked.

Xu Yingnan got closer, and hurriedly said: "1 yuan a catty!" ”

"So expensive! The state-run ones are only sold for 8 cents and 2 cents! The worker said in surprise.

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the price of meat has risen! Now the state-run sells 8 cents 7 ~ 8 cents 9 cents! The 8 cents and 2 you said was the price of meat half a year ago! ”

"Hahaha," the workers immediately laughed. The former worker blushed and said, "The meat is too expensive to eat!" Our family only eats meat once in half a year! Besides, meat tickets are not good! ”

"I don't want a meat ticket!" Lin Qiangsheng said loudly to everyone. The difference between asking for a ticket and not asking for a ticket is too big, and the state is using this small ticket to limit the purchasing power of the people.

In fact, for Lin Qiangsheng, selling pork is a bit uneconomical, first, it is very difficult to get pork during this period, and second, it is difficult to transport. But seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, in order to win over some customers, he must insist on selling for half a month, and spend all the meat tickets he has hoarded.

"Give me a pound! Isn't it just one yuan and one pound, no ticket, suitable! The worker who asked for the price immediately decided to pay for it.

His actions sparked the mood of the workers, who began to scramble to buy pork. Some people even came up to ask about their watches.

"I didn't bring any money at noon, so can I buy it at night? That's it! I'll come back in the evening. A young man in his 20s asked, pointing to a watch on the counter.

Zhang Tianjiao smiled and said, "Of course." You can come whenever you want! ”

The girl's warm and beautiful smile immediately made the young worker's eyes straight! Salesperson, when did you become so enthusiastic!

Lin Qiangsheng was cutting the pork, looking at the situation in the small shop, his heart was beautiful, and he was smiling.
