"My brother-in-law is really, and he doesn't take me with him when he goes shopping with his sister."

"Don't play with the children's temper, they are going to buy wedding objects, what are you going to do..."

In the shouting.

Li Weidong rode a bicycle to take Yu Li out of Yu's house and went straight to the department store in Xinjiekou.

In the memory of the original owner, he had an old classmate who worked as a salesperson there, just enough to walk around and connect with feelings.

Xinjiekou Department Store is one of the largest stores in the capital area.

The two-storey blue brick building has a row of slick facades, and there are rough slogans painted with white plaster on the walls.

When the cotton curtain is lifted, a row of rectangular shelves is greeted by you.

A limestone brick counter is topped with a wooden-glass counter and a liftable wooden cover for salespeople to enter and exit.

The shelves are full of daily necessities, such as needles and threads, flashlights, hot water bottles, etc.

Several large wooden barrels are placed in front of the shelves, and the barrels are pasted with red paper with the words 'soy sauce' and 'vinegar' written on them.

A middle-aged aunt wearing a white hair hat is making soy sauce for an old comrade.

She didn't use a funnel, she raised the grape high, and all the soy sauce fell into the tiny glass bottle, and she didn't spill it at all.

And the customer next to him was still chatting with the people behind him.

It seems that playing soy sauce like this already belongs to the basic exercise.

Li Weidong looked at it for a while, praised it for a few words, and then took Yu Li's hand and went straight to the second floor.

The first floor is for daily necessities, and the second floor is for bulky goods, bicycles, radios, sewing machines... There is a wide variety of goods to choose from.

Li Weidong soon found the old classmate of the original owner at the counter selling the watch.

This person's name is Zhang Dongfang, who is about the same age as the original owner, only more than 1.5 meters tall, with compact facial features on his little white face, and looks very festive.

"Dongfang, I haven't seen you kid for a while, and you're still alive!"

"Weidong!"

Zhang Dongfang, who was helping customers get their watches, saw Li Weidong and threw the watch back to the counter in surprise.

"Have you drunk, you?"

With a mouth, Yu Li knew that this product was from the old capital and lived in the west of the city.

There are differences between Dongcheng and Xicheng people in terms of language habits and living habits.

For example, when you get up in the morning to meet and say hello, people in Xicheng often ask, "Have you eaten?" ”

And the people of Dongcheng like to say when they meet, "Have you drunk?" ”

...

"It's you!" Li Weidong punched him across the counter and said, "At a young age, how did you become an old man." ”

"Hehe, I was trained by the old man at home in the past two days, and he said that now young people have forgotten the old words, and I don't have anything to practice!"

Zhang Dongfang scratched his head, sneered, and looked at Yu Li next to him, "Who is this?" ”

"Your sister-in-law, I'm getting married next month, isn't this here to prepare something." Li Weidong introduced.

"Hello sister-in-law!" Zhang Dongfang said hello obediently and began to gossip, "I passed by the chemical materials store a while ago, and I heard that you don't work there anymore. ”

"I changed careers, and now I'm working as a driver in a rolling mill."

"It's good to be a driver, you can tour the great rivers and mountains of the motherland for free, unlike me, guarding this three-foot counter, you can't go anywhere."

...

The old classmates were very affectionate when they met, and the chat was endless, but the middle-aged man next to him was in a hurry.

"Comrade, I still have to buy a watch, please hurry up."

Zhang Dongfang's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shouted: "What are you urging, didn't you see that I was busy, I don't have time to sell things today, you can go." ”

The salesperson of this year is so bullish, he wants to enjoy the service with a smile, but there is no door.

The middle-aged man saw that Zhang Dongfang had rolled up his sleeves and took two steps back in fright.

"Don't mind, it's just a matter of a watch, you hurry up and do it for others, I'll wait for you." Li Weidong hurriedly grabbed Zhang Dongfang.

"Such an adult, I don't have any eyesight, if it weren't for my brother today, you would be waiting to be beaten!" Zhang Dongfang scolded in his mouth, took out a watch from under the counter and slapped it on the counter,

"Produced in the magic capital, 17 diamonds and three needles, 130 yuan, and a watch ticket."

Middle-aged people may be accustomed to seeing salespeople playing tricks, and they know that if they continue to entangle, they will not be able to get benefits, so they don't dare to say anything.

took the bill and watch, didn't dare to check it in person, and left with the watch in a hurry.

After sending the middle-aged man away, Zhang Dongfang looked at Li Weidong again and said, "You wait for me for a while, I'll ask for a leave, let's find a restaurant to have a drink, and celebrate your marriage in advance." ”

"If you want to drink and come to me at night, this will not work, I have to buy things with my daughter-in-law." Li Weidong said.

"What to buy? I'm familiar here, I'll buy it for you. Zhang Dongfang patted his chest.

Li Weidong took out the tickets he bought from Yu Fatzi, took out a few from them, and said, "Bicycles, watches, by the way, and a sewing machine." ”

"Good fellow, where did you get so many votes?" Zhang Dongfang's eyes widened.

Thinking that there was a big car driver standing in front of him, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sensei, I understand." It must have been given by the leaders, and tomorrow I quit my job and went to work as a truck driver. ”

Li Weidong saw that he had misunderstood, and he didn't explain much.

After all, there are so many votes, it's really hard to explain.

"I have watches here, including domestic plum blossoms, Shanghai watches, and foreign Ingna. If you want me to say, you are not bad for money, so you can choose Inag, wear it out to save face, I can give it to you at a flat price, one hundred and eighty-five yuan. Zhang Dongfang took out a watch from the counter, and the back cover of the watch was engraved with Swedish letters.

Seeing Li Weidong's frowning, he turned his head to see that no one was paying attention to this side, covered his watch with his palm and whispered: "This watch is very sought-after, two days ago, even the stationmaster Liu from the food station came to buy it, and I said it was sold out." ”

Of course, Li Weidong knew that Zhang Dongfang had good intentions, and this piece of Ingner could be sold for 280 yuan in the pigeon market.

However, it is ridiculous to relive a life and rely on a watch to show his identity.

For him, the watch is nothing more than a timekeeping tool, just like the more than a dozen Ferraris in his previous life were just a means of transportation.

Besides, the workmanship of Shanghai watches is no worse than that of Ingenera, so why not support domestic production?

"Let's have a Shanghai watch, no, two pieces, one for me and your sister-in-law."

Zhang Dongfang saw that Li Weidong insisted, and he didn't say anything more.

This watch, looking for a way to free upside down, makes more money than a month's salary.

"Shanghai men's watch, if it's not bad for money, I recommend this." Zhang Dongfang took out a watch from the bottom of the counter, "The 17-diamond all-steel waterproof and shockproof three-hand luminous watch is priced at 240 yuan, I can give it to you at a flat price, as long as 160 yuan." ”

Waterproof and shockproof... Isn't this the three-proof watch of later generations?

It also comes with luminescence, so it's also convenient to watch the time at night.

The price of one hundred and six is indeed not expensive, and Niu Yong's half-steel Shanghai watch costs one hundred and forty yuan!

"Yes, help your sister-in-law pick another one."

After some selection, Yu Li felt sorry for the money.

I chose a Shanghai semi-steel gold circle women's watch, and the price was 110 yuan.

After choosing the watch, Zhang Dongfang took the tickets and said, "You and your sister-in-law are waiting here, I'll buy these things for you." ”
