Chapter 102: Shopping
Put the things you bought in the house of an uncle first, and then you can take as much as you want, this Li Zhao also explained, to ensure that a few people can eat enough, and the oil can be put a little more. Putting things in an uncle's house is not that she doesn't trust others, this is the suggestion of the three mothers herself, and she is also to avoid suspicion, after Xu Damao's incident, their family is also a little jealous of Li Zhao's identity.
The reason why you have to put more oil in a special account is also for a reason, this era is really difficult, especially oil, if you don't explain that you can put more, then they can save as much as they can, many families are using a brush to dip a little oil, and then brush the pot, even if the oil is put.
I heard that there is such a joke, two people are more fuel-efficient than whom, this one said that my family's half a catty of oil used for a month, and there was a small half left, and that family said that my family's half a catty of oil used for a month, and it was more.
After the last check, I found that there are more, every time I stir-fry the food, I use chopsticks to dip a little oil, and when I use chopsticks to dip it, I am afraid that the chopsticks are not clean, and every time I wash it first, the water on the chopsticks will sink under the oil, and every time the chopsticks bring in more water than the oil brought out, so it is more.
It's a joke, but this is the true portrayal of this era, the materials are really scarce, the debts of Da Mao have been paid off in the past few days, and some of the more in-demand materials on the market are more than usual, such as eggs, some time ago, Li Zhao basically didn't see much.
Cooking is prepared to be done in the yard, which is also something that cannot be helped, Li Zhao's house, tear down the roof, it is impossible to do it in the house. It's not suitable to put it in someone else's house, so you can only do it in the yard, but this can also leave Li Zhao a good reputation, after all, who is willing to give eggs to eat.
After looking at the progress of the work of the next few people, Li Zhao was very satisfied, they were all people who could do things. Not long after I went out, the tiles were already almost a third of the way down. And at this time, Qin Huairu and the three mothers also began to boil water, these people are doing manual work, it is not okay not to prepare water, this matter really has to be a woman, that is, it is more careful than Li Zhao.
Li Zhaodu forgot about the preparation of water, the value of his own benefits, it seems that after the event, he wants to thank the two of them, saying that he will not give money, but after the end of the matter, he still wants to send some food, and each family will send ten catties of stick noodles, which is not worth a few dollars, but others will also be very grateful.
looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, Li Xing was preparing to go home today, Li Zhao didn't plan to go back this week due to something. Li Xing is going to start school in a few days, he is going to go back today, and he doesn't have much time later, Li Zhao is planning to arrange for him to go to junior college, which will make him idle.
At this time, Su Ya looked at Li Zhao looking at her watch, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, is there anything else going on today?" ”
"There's nothing else to do, the rest is to accompany you to the department store in a moment. It's Li Xing, who said that he was going home today, and school was about to start, and if he didn't go back now, he would have less time to go back. I asked him to come over at about nine o'clock to ride his bike, and you see it's almost nine o'clock, and he hasn't come yet, so he doesn't know where he went. ”
The two of them have no choice but to wait in the yard, there is no mobile phone or anything in this era, and it is difficult to find people if they don't wait in a fixed place. Fortunately, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Xing came with Wang Jun. It turned out that he went to find Wang Jun in the morning, and he really had him, and his cheekiness was much thicker than Li Zhao's.
Li Zhao and Su Ya looked at each other and smiled, both understood their situation, and told Li Xing to pay attention to safety on the road. He also asked Li Xing to bring back all kinds of tickets that had been prepared in advance, especially the ticket of 500 catties of rice, Li Zhao asked Li Xing to bring it back directly. He really can't use it, it's a pure waste to put it in his own hands, let his father have a headache. Of course, there are other tickets, and Li Zhao also left two or three hundred catties of food stamps, but even if it is only two or three hundred catties, it is already a lot.
Sending off the elder brother, Li Zhao and Su Ya also went to the department store, and they didn't ride a bicycle, so they watched while walking. At this time, the types of goods were relatively small, and there were not so many stores, and even the department store was called a department store because when it opened, there were more than 100 kinds of goods.
But it's still quite shocking, basically everything is sold, not to mention three turns and one ring, TV, camera, all kinds of musical instruments, and foreign wine is sold in the wine area, both of them looked at it, it was very expensive.
The salespeople in this era are still very enthusiastic, and their faces are full of sincere smiles, unlike many novels in their previous lives where they sat there and ate melon seeds or something. That kind of era only appeared in the seventies and eighties, that is, on the eve of the wave of layoffs, and at that time, because there were piles of related households in various places, they came to that point.
Just like now, no matter where Li Zhao and Su Ya go, except for the situation where there are too many people to be busy, there will be salesmen to introduce goods, and salespeople at this time are very glorious professions, and they are the dream positions of many people. Together with several other industries at the time, it was called the 'Eight Great Members', and there were special songs to praise it.
They are mainly going to look at the style and price of the sofa today, and if it is suitable, then they are ready to buy it back at the right time. And it's about to get cold, and I have to prepare some autumn and winter clothes, Li Zhao didn't have much money in the past, the clothes were relatively old, and there were no clothes suitable for formal occasions, and now he wears factory clothes most of the time, and he needs to buy a few clothes.
When he arrived at the place where the sofa was sold, after reading it, Li Zhao was not very satisfied with the style, and even more dissatisfied with the price. The cheapest set of sofas, the price has also reached two hundred, not to mention the ugly style, the fabric is still cloth. After seeing the price, Li Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was still too poor.
I knew that the sofa was more expensive, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive, the best set of sofas is imported, leather, then the price is even higher, 800 yuan. After reading it, Li Zhao could only pull Su Ya and take her away quietly, and said to Su Ya helplessly: "No way, it's too expensive, I thought I was already quite rich, but I can only buy the cheapest set, instead of buying that set, let's find someone to order furniture." ”
"Otherwise, I'll design a set and find a master to do it, what do you think?" Li Zhao suddenly thought that it would be better to draw some of the more popular furniture styles that he had seen in his previous life, and he could also design them according to the situation of the house, which might be better and fashionable enough.
Hearing Li Zhao say that he wouldn't buy a sofa, Su Ya smiled generously: "It's okay, let's take our time in the future, there will be bread, isn't it?" Your salary is already very high now, and we will definitely live well in the future. Of course you can design, but I'm going to see how it looks first. ”
At this time, Su Ya didn't have much money, her salary was not as high as Li Zhao, she still got a salary of more than fifty yuan, and she didn't save a hundred yuan until now. She is very interested in Li Zhao's own design of furniture.
Hearing that Su Ya wanted to see it, Li Zhao said: "That's simple, we will send the things home in a while, and then go to my office, and I will draw them directly for you to see, and there is no way to go back to the family now." ”
Seeing that the time had reached more than eleven o'clock, Li Zhao suggested: "Let's go out to eat now, let's take a good look after dinner, what to buy?" How about we go for roast duck, I haven't eaten roast duck yet? ”
Su Ya didn't agree to Li Zhao's suggestion, the reason was too expensive, and two people would need at least a dozen yuan to eat well. The two chose an ordinary small restaurant for lunch, Su Ya should have been stimulated by the price of the sofa, the most expensive set, that is, Li Zhao also needs three months' salary, and her salary is nearly a year and a half.
Thinking of this, Li Zhao took Su Ya's hand and said firmly: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to live well, let's order a set of furniture first, rest assured, my design must be very beautiful and practical, if you are not satisfied, we can change it slowly in the future, and the house is very small now, we will definitely change the house in the future, and we will do the best when the time comes." ”
After eating and resting, the two went shopping for clothes and the like. For clothes, ladies are very preferred, Su Ya is no exception, at this time there are not many types of ready-to-wear, both of them chose two sets of autumn clothes, winter clothes can be bought after a period of time.
In addition, Su Ya also specially selected two pairs of leather shoes for Li Zhao, a set of tunics and shirts. The two also bought a lot of cloth and wool, and Li Zhao also had a lot of cotton tickets, and each person could make two sets of cotton clothes at that time. Of course, when it comes to here, how can you miss a lady's favorite, alabaster? Alabaster is a brand of Yashuang, and it still exists 60 years later, but it has become a low-grade product, but it is a natural stearic acid plus glycerin, which is non-toxic and harmless.
