"The price of this double-sided embroidery is 500 US dollars, and it comes from the most famous ...... in Suzhou."

The salesman not only talked about the price of the ornament, but also introduced Ruan Jiaojiao and Zhang Meihua to its origin and how many embroidery techniques were used on it.

The Friendship Shop was originally opened to earn foreign currency, and it is not surprising that payments are made in foreign currency.

Facing the salesman's eloquent conversation, Ruan Jiaojiao listened carefully, and quickly inquired about the exchange rate in her mind.

At present, the exchange rate of the US dollar is less than 1.5, which means that 500 US dollars is almost 750 yuan.

After listening to the salesperson's introduction, Ruan Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your explanation, help me wrap it up." ”

"Okay, please wait."

The short-haired wool curler smiled brighter and brighter, carefully packed the ornament into a special cardboard box, and then put it into a paper bag with the words "Friendship Store" printed on the surface.

After everything was done, the salesperson walked out of the counter with it in his arms, "Please come with me." Then guide Ruan Jiaojiao and Zhang Meihua to the place of payment.

Ruan Jiaojiao took out the $500 she had just exchanged from her bag and completed the transaction.

After buying the ornaments, the two lost interest in the other things inside, so they left the store with the courtesy of the salesperson.

……

"This little screen is so beautiful, Jiaojiao, you have so much vision!"

Not long after the two left the friendship store, Zhang Meihua seemed to come back to her senses, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao with bright eyes.

She was initially frightened by the $500 price, but later saw that her good friend bought it without blinking an eye, and was shocked by her financial resources.

"Yes~ If you like something, you have to take it immediately, otherwise you won't have this store in this village, and you won't be able to find a place to cry if you regret it. This kind of double-sided embroidery is the best of the best, no matter ten or twenty years later, it is still so good-looking, 500 dollars is like no money. ”

Ruan Jiaojiao had a smile on the corner of her mouth, she was in a good mood at the moment, even though she was standing in the sun, she didn't feel irritable.

"Shall we go to the relic shop next? The cultural relics shop is a little away from here, so let's take a rickshaw at the intersection. ”

You don't need a voucher to enter and exit the cultural relics store, and you don't need a ticket for the things inside, but it's expensive.

From hundreds to tens of thousands, Zhang Meihua once entered with his own small treasury full of enthusiasm, and finally came out empty-handed.

It's because when I mention it now, it's a little tooth sore.

Although Ruan Jiaojiao has never been there, she can probably understand her expression by looking at her expression, just like she used to go to the auction, she also likes it and likes it, but she can only watch it.

"Why don't you go next time, I've already bought something I like today. By the way, Meihua, do you know where Huanyi Lane is? ”

Ruan Jiaojiao and Zhang Meihua leaned against the shade of the trees on the side of the road and slowly walked towards the intersection.

The cultural relics store can wait for her to have enough funds before going, and now she wants to find a few suitable people to help her guard the small western-style building, and clean up all the mattress and sundries inside by the way.

The Chen family, father and son, and the people they invited last time are very suitable, and the price is cheap.

Chen Lijian also specially informed himself of the address of their home yesterday, and he could just contact them today.

"Raccoon Alley?" Zhang Meihua thought for a while, then shook her head, "There are a lot of alleys and alleys in Shanghai, and I don't know this place very well. But the driver at the intersection must know. ”

Also.

The two walked to the intersection as they spoke, Zhang Meihua waved her hand and beckoned the two cart pullers who were waiting in the shade of the tree, reported the address and got into the car.

The two cart pullers were similar to the Chen family's father and son, wearing shirts with open arms, a towel wrapped around their heads, dark skin, and glass salt water bottles filled with water hanging next to the handles of the carts.

They had great strength and speed, and after going around the alley for more than ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.

There are no street signs in Huanyi Lane, just because there are three wells of water for residents at the mouth of the lane, and people from every household often wash clothes at the mouth of the lane, which is named by word of mouth.

The two got out of the car, and Zhang Meihua paid the fare directly.

The labor force in this era is extremely worthless, and the two of them spent a total of five cents on this trip, which was given by Zhang Meihua.

Like Ruan Jiaojiao, who didn't know the price, didn't ask the fare, and sold five yuan per person, they would never meet a driver like them in their lives.

Ruan Jiaojiao has seen the price now, but she doesn't feel how outrageous she was at the beginning, she just doesn't want to find money, if she comes again, she will still give five yuan, but well, it's five yuan for two people.

The flowers, the province should be saved.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, it was very quiet in Huanyi Alley, which was pointed out by the coachman.

Because the alley is too narrow, the buildings on both sides block the light, and the alley looks a little dark and cluttered.

Chen Lijian only said that they lived in Huanyi Lane, and they could be found by asking casually.

Now it seems that it is not that they don't want to keep the house number, but that there is no one here.

Although there is no one in the alley, there is one at the mouth of the alley.

Under a big camphor tree, many women gathered together to paste cardboard boxes, and since Ruan Jiaojiao and Zhang Meihua got out of the car, they have been throwing a glance at them from time to time, either inquiring or curious.

"Excuse me, do Chen Dahui and Chen Lijian, father and son, live here?"

Ruan Jiaojiao and Zhang Meihua approached and asked, these women and children all opened their eyes wide, and the speed of their hands slowed down unconsciously.

Good boy! Where did this fairy come from?

The one in front makes people dare not look at it a second time, and the face in the back is round, white and tender, which is the most blessed appearance at the moment.

These two look like the eldest lady, why did you come to their alley?

Oh, it's someone who came to find it.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Aunt Chen, who was still in shock, was shrugged twice with her elbow by the person next to her, and even Sister-in-law Chen, who was sitting in the back, was slapped several times by the people around her.

They are all at the bottom of society, and they dare not talk to these two glamorous young ladies, so naturally they can only remind the Chen family.

Ruan Jiaojiao noticed their small movements and looked at Aunt Chen with a smile, "Hello?" ”

Aunt Chen and Sister-in-law Chen came back to their senses and hurriedly stood up, and Aunt Chen responded with some trepidation, "Hello, hello! My man and son are out pulling a cart and haven't come back yet, are you? ”

"Aunt Chen, hello. Please ask when they will come back, I have something I would like to ask Uncle Chen and Brother Chen for help. ”

looks like a fairy, dresses up in a foreign style and is rich, and the conversation is kind and good.

Yes, all right!

Isn't this the eldest lady who was looking for her man's son to do things two days ago!

was generous, and invited their whole family to eat meat, this is really a good owner who can't be met in a lifetime!

"Ruan, Miss Ruan, is it?"

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded under Aunt Chen's uncertainty, and Aunt Chen hurriedly wiped her stool, "You sit, you sit!" I'm going to find someone to call them back! ”

Aunt Chen moved the stool to Ruan Jiaojiao's side, and her daughter-in-law Sister-in-law Chen also wiped her stool and put it beside Zhang Meihua.

"I'm tired of the two of you to take a break, I'll call them back immediately, Yanyan, you go back and pour tea for the distinguished guests!"

"No need, we don't drink tea, don't be so troublesome!"

"Hey, it's really rude, then Yanyan, you should accompany the two young ladies!"

Aunt Chen smiled and nodded to Ruan Jiaojiao, and when she looked at her old neighbor, her eyes were full of warning.

After giving her daughter-in-law a look, Aunt Chen ran out of the alley at a speed that did not match her thin body at all.

They also wanted to invite their guests to their home, but the house was too cramped, and the electricity bill was too dim, so they were really powerless.

Sister-in-law Chen was a little restrained, she understood what her mother-in-law meant, let herself watch it, and don't let their guests' guests be snatched away.

But she was really not good at talking, so she could only be embarrassed by the two distinguished guests, like a log.

The woman who was busy pasting the paper box in the shade of the tree also came back to her senses, secretly looked at Ruan Jiaojiao and the others, and tasted it again and again.

This is the owner who invited his man to do things yesterday!

Not to mention the five yuan salary, he also brought back two yuan of food money and food stamps.

Yes, Ruan Jiaojiao gave dozens of more yuan to the Chen family father and son, and there were food stamps and meat stamps in the envelope, so that they could go to the state-run restaurant for a meal.

Instead of going to a state-run restaurant for dinner, the men shared the rest of the money and took it home enough to eat for the family for several days.

The women here have different thoughts, although the two eldest ladies are here to find the Chen family's father and son, but what if?

Every family is not doing well, and they don't want to miss it when they meet such a good employer.

So an aunt started talking first, "Ruan, Miss Ruan, please, how many people are you going to invite this time?" ”
