Chapter 29 Department Stores
In the end, it is the most prosperous place in the county, even if Xinsu County is a little bit remote, in the cloth counter of the department store, there are still a lot of good materials that are sought after in this era, such as wool, such as serge, such as polyester, indeed good, corduroy...
Wen Juan was not very interested in the Fei Bu ticket, but because the brightly colored and wear-resistant polyester was indeed a good material. In later generations, the mainstream of the upper class society likes those natural cotton silk materials, and those artificial materials are not very popular after the mechanical technology.
Even if the old coarse cloth woven by herself is not as good as polyester, the color is fresh, and it is liked, but Wen Juan is particularly fond of it, and she has a few pieces of fabric prepared for her by her mother, and she does not plan to buy those good polyester materials. The cloth counter of the department store, a series of cabinets with a dazzling array of fabrics, although it is still mainly blue, gray and black, but perhaps it is the retreat of the four-person party, the nature of the entrance to love beauty awakens, unconsciously, the color is biased towards the bright polyester flowers of the true good... It can also occupy a small half of the country.
Wen Juan first went to the satin counter with the central position of the cabinet, which has a festive jacquard satin, which can be said to be one of the best materials in the entire Xinsu County. At this time, if the married girl has a satin quilt as a dowry, it is a face-saving thing. Life is just this time to get married, Daddy and Auntie want her to marry more beautifully, she is happy and has no intention of wronging herself, she will inevitably support her parents better in the future.
Looking at these festive jacquard satins, Wen Juan reached out and touched them lightly with appreciation, and the thick and smooth feel came, which made her raise the corners of her lips with satisfaction. Big flowers, flexible mandarin duck bird pattern, even if there is no fast process of later generations, at this time the manual auxiliary material craftsmanship is more exquisite.
Even if it is a small county town, there will always be a demand for consumption, which is an eternal truth. The rules of Xinsu County in previous years, some families will prepare a big red quilt for their daughters, but in the past few years, it is not easy to survive and few people care about that rule. However, now that the conditions have eased, the joy of slowly getting married has returned, spreading from the top. However, because of the low consumption level of people here and the scarcity of materials in this era, there are only a lot of good things.
There are six or seven jacquard satin on the counter, most of them are red, but the jacquard on the top is different, blessed lines, big flowers, flowers and birds, melons and gourds continue to tangle and twig. Several tricks. Beautiful things, strong and bright, is the beginning of this gray, blue and black era impact, Wen Juan did not feel the vulgar kind of lofty thoughts, after all, such a cheerful color, in this era is very eye-catching, each era of appreciation is different, but they are all beautiful foundations, there is no dislike or not.
As far as Wen Juan's personal preference is concerned, she doesn't like the jacquard satin with the big flowers and dense Fu character lines, but the beauty of the flowers and birds that have been together for a hundred years, and the beautiful meaning of the melon and the lingering branches are noisy with some elegance and delicacy, which makes people very happy.
Wen Juan stretched out her hand and touched it, the texture was very pleasant, she couldn't help but ask the salesperson: "Comrade, how much are these two jacquard satins?" ”
She stretched out her wrist with the plum blossom girl watch she had just bought, and the sharp-eyed salesman was a twenty-year-old in her twenties, wearing neater and more fashionable clothes than ordinary people, and her face was the usual arrogance of the salesperson, but in the end, looking at the two of them was not easy to mess with, she envied the watch in Wenjuan's hand, and glanced deeply before replying: "Good materials just delivered from Shanghai, fifteen yuan plus a foot of cloth ticket, how much do you want?" ”
At this time, the fabric is still the old-fashioned width of four feet five, and a quilt needs about five feet of cloth, which is really high consumption, and the money that A-Niang gave her is not much left after buying a quilt. Fortunately, except for this quilt that makes her marry more beautiful and gives her father and aunt more face, she doesn't have to buy too many other things.
After carefully considering the practicality and the acceptance of the village, Wen Juan chose the satin of flowers and birds and said: "I want five feet for this color, comrade, please help me open a single cut!" ”
Waiting for the salesman's ticket, Wen Juan touched the inner bag, and was about to open her mouth to ask Shen Weiguo to wait here, she went to deliver the accounts, but listened to Shen Weiguo pointing to one of the melons selected by Wen Juan, and said to the salesman: "Comrade, this color also gives us a six-foot ticket!" ”
Wen Juan looked up at Shen Weiguo, but saw him smile and said, "My aunt said let me buy a quilt for us to sit on the bed and enjoy the quilt!" Although their quilt was made by his aunt in the past few years, but it was not a new bedding, his aunt felt that it was such a happy event in his life, so that he must bring a good quilt for her two children to sit on the bed and be happy, and then with the woman's quilt, it happened that the two children were in pairs.
Shen Weiguo saw Wen Juan before he just valued these two materials, and chose another one, so he couldn't help but pick the other one Wen Juan had seen before, and his future daughter-in-law liked it, and she was happy to use it after marriage.
"You guys are getting married, let's see if you still have any materials to want, and you can save trouble by issuing invoices together!" The salesman's hand was stunned, in the end, looking at Shen Weiguo's upright and tough posture and military green dress, he didn't dare to be dissatisfied, but he didn't urge in a very pleasant tone, and it was not too troublesome to add it over and over again.
However, in that heart, no matter how you think about it, she can't keep these all day long, when she got married two years ago, she just ruthlessly pulled five feet to pretend to be face, and it cost her more than two wages, this soldier is generous, up is six feet, she wants to see what they want to buy the fabric of the wedding quilt, and what else they have to buy for wedding dresses.
"That's the same reason!" Shen Weiguo nodded in agreement, happy for that sentence of marriage preparation, the attitude of the salesman could not affect his good mood, he couldn't help but bow his head and smile at Wen Juan and suggested: "Wen Juan, my father and aunt asked me to buy you two New Year's clothes, this is the rule of the village, what do you like?" I wanted to buy ready-to-wear for you directly, you like to make it yourself, otherwise let's take a look at the material! ”
It is a happy thing for an unmarried partner to be willing to pay, but after glancing at the happy man, as far as he said, if he didn't see his sincere joy, he thought that it was for the request of the elders to deal with it. Wen Juan couldn't help but complain in her heart, if she didn't know the nature of this man, just this sentence, how many points would she have to lose.
Without much response, Wen Juan expressed her opinion with gestures and walked towards the clothing counter on the other side. Shen Weiguo, who was glanced at by his future daughter-in-law, was obviously not happy, didn't he touch his nose again, he seemed to have said something unpleasant, and he seemed to be disgusted? Recalling what he just said, it seems that he is really not too careful, he couldn't help grinning in embarrassment, he is usually used to those rough men and big-headed soldiers, and he really doesn't understand the sensitive heart of women.
Fortunately, although Shen Weiguo is not very good at saying pleasing words, he has a good habit of knowing his mistakes. He immediately stepped forward and whispered apologetically and faintly: "This is also my thought!" "It's not just the elders' request. Let his daughter-in-law eat and dress well, this is his joyful thing.
Wen Juan didn't plan to care, she was not a careful person, naturally waved her hand, this matter was revealed, there is no need to mention it, she went to touch some twill beep and other fabrics, once worked in a garment factory, Wen Juan still has a lot of experience in how to identify the quality of fabrics.
The rules of the village people marrying daughters-in-law are to make tailor-made clothes for other girls before the New Year and marriage, and make door clothes to wear, which is also the performance and face of the in-laws. A suit of clothes is only a few feet of cloth, for Shen Weiguo's proposal, Wen Juan did not refuse, and carefully picked a piece of fabric to make pants, black twill material, which should be a blend of cotton and polyester, and it feels very good.
Explaining to the salesperson to leave three feet of material, when Wen Juan was about to take a look at the tops material again, Shen Weiguo, who was two steps forward, called softly: "Wen Juan, how about you take a look at this material?" He picked up a piece of big red woolen material in his hand, Wen Juan took two steps forward and touched it, it is estimated that it is a real wool material, even in this era, it is definitely not cheap.
Sure enough, the salesman on the side looked at the two of them and seemed to have a crush on this material and couldn't help but say proudly: "This is a woolen woolen material that only exists in a big city, it feels so good, twenty yuan plus a foot of cloth ticket for a horse, and five industrial coupons!" "Wool wool yarn is all for industrial coupons.
"How many feet of material does a long coat cost?" Shen Weiguo asked carefully, several brothers had saved up money tickets and bought a tweed coat for his future daughter-in-law, he originally wanted to buy one for Wen Juan, but there was really no good tweed coat just now, and Wen Juan didn't like it, so he didn't force it, he was ready to keep it in his heart and talk about it later. However, the style of the coat is simpler and not complicated, and when you encounter this kind of good material, it is good to ask Wen Juan and Aunt Yang to help you make one yourself.
"Wen Juan, the coat is also very simple, let's tear a few feet of cloth for you to make a tweed coat to wear!" Big red, it's so festive, Wen Juan's skin is white, if Wen Juan is allowed to wear this dress to marry her, she will definitely look very good, no one can compare!
Looking at Shen Weiguo's expectant gaze, can Wen Juan say that she already understands this man's heart? However, the female guard pleases herself, since this man likes it, it will be this happy event in her life, and it is not bad to make a big windbreaker out of the pavilion, she nodded lightly and agreed.
