Chapter 12 Sister, listen to my sister's persuasion!
In the department store, people come and go.
But most people just look at it and don't buy it.
Li Weidong was carrying more than 20 yuan, thinking that his waist bag was very bulging, so he confidently browsed the goods on the counter.
In fact, the variety of goods in this era is really limited, and it is nothing more than a freshness.
And most of them are some daily necessities.
Until he came to the bargaining counter.
After all, there are the most people watching here.
At this time, two blonde foreigners stood in front of the counter, muttering something.
For the average citizen, this is definitely a western view.
Li Weidong's English in his previous life has reached the level of being able to talk to foreigners, of course, some gestures are indispensable.
He listened to the conversation between the two foreigners, and seemed to complain that there were too few kinds of goods here, and the advantage was that they were cheap.
Li Weidongquan didn't hear this.
His current identity is an ordinary young man who has just entered the city from the countryside, note: graduated from middle school!
It's normal not to understand foreign languages.
It's just that when Li Weidong saw the price of goods on the counter, he gasped.
What is this special also called cheap?
Bargaining counter, he understands.
It is specially set up for foreign guests and foreigners, and you can do without a ticket.
But what the hell is a bottle of Moutai for 16 yuan?
Didn't you say that Moutai in this era is two or three pieces a bottle?
And that chocolate candy, a small box of five dollars?
Who can afford this?
In fact, Li Weidong didn't know that this price was normal.
Because in the first half of the year, the top implemented a high-price strategy for some commodities.
These include tea, bicycles, wine, watches, sugar, etc.
Last year, a bicycle was 160 yuan, but this year it has risen to 650 yuan, which is jaw-dropping.
It is said that no matter how much money there is in these years, it is useless, and now, Li Weidong has deep doubts about this.
In fact, it is not only department stores that have no-ticket bargaining counters these days, but also some high-end restaurants.
If you have the money to go to the hotel every day, even if you don't have a ticket, what about it?
Of course, these high-priced goods are mainly aimed at those foreign guests who have money, as well as the so-called capitalists.
Li Weidong remembered that Xu Damao's wife, Lou Xiao'e, who lived in the backyard, was a standard capitalist.
Even if the ingredients are not good in the eyes of many people, they still don't suffer, and if they don't mention anything else, they definitely don't worry about eating and drinking.
And for nine out of nine people, it is difficult to move an inch without a ticket.
Li Weidong saw that Yang Fangfang's eyes were full of desire, but he didn't say anything.
The first is that they are poor and have no money.
Second, she is not her wife, why should she get used to it?
So, after asking the salesman's eldest sister where there was furniture, I went straight to it.
Compared to the department store counter, the furniture is obviously much more deserted, and it is still in the backyard.
In the huge warehouse, there were not many people in sight.
Because it was a little cold inside, the two eldest sisters sat at the door, knitting sweaters and chatting at the same time.
For the customers who come, they also love to ignore them.
"Comrade, I want to buy a bed and a recliner." Li Weidong couldn't help but say.
One of them was younger, raised his head, looked at Li Weidong and Yang Fangfang, thinking that they were young people who were about to get married.
After all, this will, not marriage, and few people come to buy a bed.
A bed can basically last a lifetime.
In the fifties, newlyweds paid attention to the four-one project when they got married.
A bed, a basin, a spittoon, a kettle.
Although it is now in the 60s, it has just survived the difficult period, and no one has a lot of money.
Like those thirty-six legs, it basically became popular in the mid-to-late sixties.
"Old!" Without waiting for the other party to speak, Li Weidong said again.
On the way here, he heard Yang Fangfang say that only new furniture needs furniture tickets, like those old ones, they don't need it.
And the so-called old furniture is actually antique.
However, nowadays it is not called an antique, and it is easy to make mistakes.
In fact, when people in the city get married, they will find a way to get a few furniture tickets, and no one likes to use the old ones.
On the contrary, it was Li Weidong who didn't care about this at all.
It's a big deal to buy it back and brush it inside and out, and it's not the same as new?
Tyrannical Creatures, what is that?
In his previous life, he may have had no money, and he was not interested in antiques, collecting, etc.
I didn't plan to develop this hobby in my life.
However, if you have a chance in the future, you can plant some rosewood and huanghuali trees in the game farm, and when they are ready, find someone to build a batch of furniture and give the old lady a new chaise longue.
As for the moment, it will be used first.
Hearing Li Weidong's words, even the older woman looked up.
Disdain was written all over her face.
Buying old furniture for marriage?
It's really blind to such a good-looking girl.
"The old furniture is in the innermost, and there's someone over there."
The younger elder sister reached out and pointed in, and then stopped paying attention to him.
Seeing this, Li Weidong was not annoyed.
This is the norm for service workers today.
Everyone is gay, there is no distinction between high and low professions, and even jobs like theirs are the envy of many people.
"I'll go over and take a look, you don't have to accompany me, just go shopping by yourself."
Li Weidong didn't pull Yang Fangfang anymore.
After he left, the old woman couldn't help but speak.
"Sister, listen to my sister's persuasion, this person is not a serious person who can live, marriage is a lifelong event, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to buy some belongings, how can there be a reason to buy old furniture?"
"I don't know how many years old this old furniture, who knows who has slept on it?"
When Yang Fangfang heard the other party's words, she blushed directly.
"Same, comrade, you misunderstood, that's not my object, I'm already married."
At this moment, even the younger eldest sister looked at her with a strange face.
When you get married, you still accompany other men to buy furniture?
And looking at the attitude of the two of them, they are obviously not sisters and brothers.
Suddenly, the two ignited a raging fire of gossip.
"It was my husband's younger brother just now, and he just came to the city and wasn't familiar with the road, so I brought him here."
Yang Fangfang saw that the expressions of the two were getting more and more wrong, and hurriedly explained.
The younger elder sister will be skeptical.
And the older woman, I have already seen through it, and you don't want to deceive me.
After speaking, Yang Fangfang didn't dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.
It's just that the back looks a little embarrassed.
The two waiters approached in unison and began to whisper.
On the other side, Li Weidong came to the innermost part of the warehouse and saw a little old man sitting on a recliner, humming a little song in his mouth, and his fingers tapping on the armrest.
Behind him, there was a messy pile of furniture, all sorts of things.
And looking at the thickness of the dust falling on it, it is obvious that no one has been patronizing it for a while.
"Is there a better bed here?" Li Weidong asked.
When the little old man heard the voice, he opened his eyes and looked up and down.
