Shen Chi and Sun Tao happily prepared to go to the provincial capital, and Shen Fang on the side looked very hot, and couldn't help but run to the side and beg his father Shen Changlin: "Dad, I also want to go to the provincial capital with my aunt." ”

Shen Changlin had no choice but to nod and agree to Shen Fang's request, but seeing his sister with three children alone, Shen Changlin was really not at ease, so he sent four days' worth of vegetables and eggs to his mother and daughter-in-law, and bought some meat to keep some money, planning to accompany him.

"Aizhi wants to go to the provincial capital to buy goods, a few children are clamoring to follow, she is alone with three children, I don't worry, I plan to go with me to have a care." Shen Changlin told his daughter-in-law and mother that he planned to go on a long trip.

"Then you really should go along, we're fine, you don't have to worry." Hu comforted Shen Changlin and said.

Shen Changlin said that he would return in four days at most, and after explaining, he and Shen Aizhi would take Shen Chi and them to the provincial capital.

At this time, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, just to go to the city to transfer the train took most of the time, take the last train to the province, the sky is already dark.

I first found a small restaurant to prepare to fill my stomach, the prosperity of the provincial capital is far better than the county seat, and the traffic at night dazzled Sun Tao.

"When Dad buys a small truck, it's good, otherwise it's too inconvenient to go into the city to get a trip." Shen Chi complained while eating.

"We'll have to wait until we make the money." Shen Aizhi said with a smile.

A few people found a guest house and asked for two single rooms, Shen Changlin took Shen Chi and Sun Tao to a room, Shen Aizhi and Shen Fang to a room, and spent more than a dozen yuan in one night, so distressed that Shen Aizhi wanted to buy more goods to save the money back.

After a night's rest, the second group headed straight for the wholesale market.

The wholesale market in the provincial capital was a famous wholesale place for small commodities in the 80s, and small traders from all over the country came here to buy their goods.

At this time, the wholesale market has not been expanded, the bluestone paved street is only two or three meters wide, the shops on both sides are lined up one after another, the blue bricks and gray tiles, no more than two floors high, even the gate is made of more than a dozen wooden planks, far from the grandeur of later generations.

There were people coming and going in the market, rubbing shoulders one after another, Sun Tao had never seen so many people, and he was afraid to hold Shen Changlin's hand tightly.

Seeing this, Shen Aizhi also pulled Shen Chi with one hand and Shen Fang with the other, for fear that they would get lost.

Shen Fang is a girl in the end, and she was quickly attracted by those colorful scarves and couldn't move her legs, Shen Aizhi saw it, so she bought her a pink one, and Shen Fang happily held it in her hand like a treasure, which made Shen Changlin stare at her again and again.

A few people walked around and looked, there were wholesale buttons of various colors and shapes, beads wearing beads, leather belts, rubber band socks, and shoe insoles. The dazzling array of goods is overwhelmed by several people.

Sun Tao also ate real ice cream for the first time in his life, not the hard sugar water popsicles sold at the gate of their school, but the soft ice cream made of milk. It was also at this time that Sun Tao learned that there were popsicles like this in the world.

Shen Aizhi and Shen Changlin walked around for half a morning, came to the cloth wholesale area, there are many colors of cloth here, Shen Chi picked a tweed fabric for his aunt, a dark green corduroy fabric, a horse is really good, an orange print and a dark blue polyester fabric, and finally bought a cotton dark red checkered pattern material.

Each one has a hundred meters, fifty meters and thirty meters, and the shopkeeper asked Shen Aizhi which one he wanted.

Shen Aizhi was about to take a fifty-meter horse, but Shen Chi said: "Auntie, it's not easy for us to come here, take a hundred meters each." ”

A hundred meters a horse? Shen Aizhi was taken aback, she had just asked the price, on average, a meter of cloth cost more than eight cents, and the retail price in the mall was between three to four per piece, although the more you buy, the more you save, but the price of a horse for a hundred meters is almost eighty or ninety, and the six horses that Shen Chi picked cost more than five hundred yuan.

"Why do you buy so much? Use up and buy again. "Shen Changlin also doesn't recommend buying so much at once.

"It doesn't cost money to go back and forth, and it doesn't cost money to stay in the city to eat and drink." Shen Chi snapped his little finger and counted the accounts.

His appearance made the old shopkeeper laugh out loud: "Okay, little guy, it's a good material for business." ”

As soon as Shen Aizhi heard these accounts calculated by Shen Chi, he thought of the money spent on staying in the guest house yesterday, so he said to Shen Changlin: "Second brother, I think it's better to buy more." ”

"But how much does it cost?" Shen Changlin said distressedly.

"Anyway, these things can't be broken, buy them back and sell them slowly." Shen Aizhi decided to listen to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi was relieved to see that his eldest aunt accepted his opinion, the reason why he insisted on asking his eldest aunt to buy so much was because he knew that at this time in his previous life, there would be a big price increase.

Shen Chi remembered very well that the pencil and homework book were originally a dime, but overnight, they suddenly rose to two cents, and other prices also rose.

If he hadn't been able to convince his father and them, Shen Chi would have been eager to take out all the money in the family to buy fabrics.

After buying the fabric and paying for it, Shen Chi said hello to the shopkeeper, and they went to buy something else and came over to drag it later.

The shopkeeper also agreed with a smile.

Then Shen Chi went to the place where buttons and various beads were sold, and bought buttons with bright colors and exquisite shapes.

Because at this time, people were still in an era when materials were still very scarce, and all aesthetics were mainly gorgeous.

The beads are actually plastic, except for the different colors and sizes, the rest are no different, Shen Chi helped pick a lot, and finally bought more than a dozen packs of imitation pearls.

The beads are actually a kind of porcelain with a layer of powder on it, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite, Shen Chi also picked it up and pinched it and found that the powder did not fall off, which can be said to be extremely realistic, but the corresponding price is several times more expensive than ordinary plastic beads.

Then I bought a dozen rolls of round flat rubber bands, and it cost me another three or four hundred to buy these things.

Seeing the speed at which Shen Chi spent money made Shen Changlin's heart skip a beat, and secretly said that this son was too capable of building, and he would not be able to buy it if he earned a mountain of gold in the future.

Shen Aizhi trusted Shen Chi very much, he said to buy it, and in the end, it was all up to Shen Chi to choose, she stood by and watched and just pay.

The things were packed, because the tricycle in the market could not enter, I had to find a flat shoulder to carry it to the street, and it took three trips to pick out the six cloths, and then hired two tricycles to load the cloth on a group of people and went directly to the passenger station.

Shen Chi they bought more goods, the conductor asked them to make up the tickets, to the city, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, fortunately caught the last train in the county, at this time it is inconvenient to take the car, miss the point will have to wait for the next day.
