Sijiucheng Department Store is located in Wangfujing Street, across the street from Dong'an Market, is the first large-scale department store invested and built by the state after liberation, and is known as "the first store in the country". The department store was officially opened on the eve of the National Day in 1955, when it was called the Sijiucheng Department Store and the Wangfujing Department Store.

The business area of the department store is 18,000 square meters, and the first floor is engaged in food, tobacco and liquor, daily necessities, enamel steel fines, children's toys, cosmetics, medicine and health products, etc.

The second floor is engaged in sweaters, wool, textile fabrics, bedding, paper stationery, clothing, shoes and hats, hardware and electrical materials, etc

The third floor deals in high-end wool, leather clothing, leather goods, clocks, radios, photographic equipment, Chinese and Western musical instruments, special handicrafts and other more valuable goods.

It can be said that the contents of it are the most complete.

So much so that at that time, there was a popular saying among the people of Sijiu City: "What you can't buy in the department store, don't go anywhere." ”

Jiang Yan knew it when he opened before, and he wanted to go shopping at that time, but he didn't have a task at that time, so he happened to go with Xu Damao today.

Wangfujing is not far from the courtyard, and Jiang Yan and Xu Damao walked for about ten minutes before coming to the door of this department store.

Seeing this crowd, Jiang Yan was completely stunned.

I've heard it said before that when this department store first opened, there were too many people, and I picked up two large baskets of shoes just for the shoes that customers were missing.

Jiang Yan thought it was an exaggeration, but now after seeing these people, Jiang Yan felt that what they said was not an exaggeration at all.

Two people followed the flow of people and entered the department store, which is really large in area and very simple and generously decorated.

The steel wire above the head is like a spider web, and from time to time there are clips with money and tickets passing by, making a crisp sound.

I don't know who invented this thing, but it seems to be really convenient to use at the moment.

With the flow of people, Jiang Yan and the two of them walked around on the first floor, where the food and children's toys were the most crowded.

When Jiang Yan and the others squeezed in, they found that there were quite a lot of varieties here, and there were some things that Jiang Yan had never seen before.

However, you need a ticket to buy these things, Jiang Yan rummaged through his entire pocket, and there were few things that could be bought with a ticket, so he bought two catties of White Rabbit toffee, twenty or thirty cans of Arctic Ocean soda and old white beer, as well as peach crisp, trough cake, and other things.

At this time, there were no plastic bags, and everything had to be wrapped in paper, and wrapped in paper printed with "Sijiucheng Department Store".

It is more convenient to pack beer and soda, and it is tied directly with a rope, but it is convenient and beautiful to tie up.

There is nothing to shop on the second floor, but there are a lot of fabrics in their own space, so the two of them took a brief look and went directly to the third floor.

The third floor is much more empty than the first and second floors, and there are many fewer people and goods inside.

"Comrade, how do you sell this bike?" Jiang Yan asked the waiter in front of the counter selling bicycles.

"164 for flying pigeons, 172 for permanent, and a bicycle ticket."

The two brands of bicycles of flying pigeon and permanent clothes are also the light of domestic products in later generations, but now the appearance of these two bicycles is basically the same, and Jiang Yan does not know which one to choose.

"Boss, buy permanent, it's more than flying pigeons, pulling more things." Xu Damao, who was next to him, saw Jiang Yan hesitating, so he opened his mouth to remind him.

Jiang Yan naturally followed the kindness, and directly took out the money and bicycle tickets to the waiter at the counter.

"Trouble, a permanent bike."

After receiving the money, the waiter clicked it, and after being accurate, he opened a ticket, stamped the receipt and handed it to Jiang Yan.

"Pick up the car at the back door on the first floor." After saying this, he ignored Jiang Yan and them, and was busy with his own affairs at the counter.

Jiang Yan didn't think much about the waiter's attitude, and pulled Xu Damao to the place where the radio was sold.

This year, the waiter is a serious working class, one of the "eight members", a type of work that people envy, and you can't go in without any ability and relationship.

Where to sell radios, there is only a domestic "Red Star" tube radio, and there is no choice.

"How much does the waiter cost?"

"189 yuan, plus a radio ticket."

"Okay, let's have one," Jiang Yan took out 189 yuan and a radio ticket from his body and handed them over.

The waiter took out a radio from the counter, skillfully installed the battery, opened it, and put Jiang Yan's face and began to debug.

Jiang Yan nodded while listening, don't you say, the sound quality of this radio is still quite good.

"I'm in trouble."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words of thanks, the waiter nodded slightly, and skillfully packed the radio he had just tested.

"Boss, this meeting will cost three hundred dollars! It's all about half a year's salary. ”

After the two of them got the bicycle, they went to the public security bureau and put a steel stamp on the bicycle.

Coming out of the Public Security Bureau, Jiang Yan originally wanted to ride, but he was caught by Xu Damao, so he had to ride with Jiang Yan, looking at these things bought from the department store, Jiang Yan was left to him.

In this era, bicycles are a rarity and need to be stamped at the Public Security Bureau.

In the small courtyard of Jiang Yan in the courtyard, the first aunt, the second aunt, Jia Zhang's family and several selected aunts and daughters-in-law were chatting happily around the old lady. Seeing Jiang Yan and Xu Damao walking in pushing a bicycle, the scene instantly quieted down, and then they all gathered around Jiang Yan and Xu Damao.

Aunt Yi: "Xiaoyan, this is a permanent bicycle!" It's good, I've heard that this bike is expensive. ”

Second aunt: "Xiaoyan, don't you have a bicycle?" I bought another one, but this car is much more beautiful than the previous one. After speaking, he touched the body with a look of envy.

"This is a drama box!" Jia Zhang pointed to the radio in Jiang Yan's arms and opened his mouth, his expression was quite surprised!

Although bicycles are rare, there are many people who buy them, and Jiang Yan has several bicycles in Nanluoguxiang.

But this radio is the first of its kind.

Hearing Jia Zhang's words, everyone looked at the radio in Jiang Yan's hand.

Seeing that everyone said that some people showed curious looks, Jiang Yan hurriedly said: "This is a radio, you can listen to the radio, buy it back for grandma to relieve boredom, Da Mao, Da Mao, quickly give the sugar you bought to the eldest lady, sweet mouth." ”

When everyone heard that there was candy to eat, they didn't care about looking at the radio, and stretched out their hands directly to Xu Damao.

Seeing Xu Damao, who was surrounded by the ladies in the middle, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, a large group of old ladies were too fierce, and many people attacked Jiang Yan just now, and one of the buttons on this dress was torn off.

However, the aunts and aunts who got the candy did not eat it, but put it in their own pockets and prepared to take it to their children.

Jiang Yan installed the battery, turned on the radio, and everyone gathered around to listen to the broadcast inside.

While listening to it, they praised Jiang Yan, "Old lady, you are still blessed, look at your family's Jiang Yan's ability to be big and filial." ”

"From now on, those children in my family have half of Jiang Yan's ability, and I will be satisfied."

"Old lady, this Jiang Yan is eighteen years old! There is a girl in my mother's family who looks good, and her ass is capable of giving birth, or she will introduce Jiang Yan to her. ”

"Your mother's family is from the countryside and can be worthy of Xiaoyan, old lady, I have a niece of my own family here, who looks like a flower, I will bring you another day to take a look."

…………

This was originally a boast of Jiang Yan, but it was crooked when chatting and chatting. It's a good blind date meeting.

Jiang Yan, who had a big head, hurriedly took Xu Damao to the kitchen to get lunch. Get out of this nest of right and wrong.
