Chapter 302: No Trouble
The three of them stood on the edge of the road, looking up at the building opposite.
The four-story building, the length of which is 40 or 50 meters, the walls of the two floors below are full of windows, and at first glance it is the business floor, and the third and fourth floors are ordinary, and it is impossible to see whether it is the same unit as the department store.
However, according to common sense, it should also belong to the territory of a department store. If this building were to be put in a few decades, it would be worth a lot of money.
Zhang Wenliang opened his mouth wide, "Xiao Chen, have you ever been to the prefectural committee before?" β
Chen Fan's eyes rolled slightly, and he pouted and said, "I don't know, I forgot." β
The two brothers of the Zhang family turned their heads to look at him together, and pouted at the same time, they didn't know whether they believed it or not, but they probably didn't believe it by looking at their expressions.
Zhang Wenliang pointed to the building opposite, "You must have been here, your house is built in the shape of a department store, with many windows, a large place, and the entire wall is full of windows, exactly the same as here." β
Chen Fan said stubbornly, "That's not necessarily, maybe the department stores across the country are like this, I don't believe that when we go back, we will see if the department stores in the county are like this." β
Zhang Wenliang opened his mouth and stopped talking.
He hadn't really seen a department store anywhere else.
Zhang Juemin looked left and right, and then stepped forward, "Okay, there's no car, let's go over." β
Chen Fan hurriedly grabbed him and pointed to the pedestrian crossing not far away, "Go there." β
After that, he walked to the front.
Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin followed behind, still a little puzzled, "Why do you want to go around in a circle?" β
Chen Fan didn't look back, "There is a pedestrian crossing, which is specially for pedestrians to cross the road." β
The brothers of the Zhang family didn't know how to do it, and muttered in their hearts that there were many rules in the city.
Crossing the street from the pedestrian crossing to the door of the department store, Chen Fan admired with great interest the faΓ§ade of the "high-end shopping place" of Yunhu City in the 70s.
A row of 5 steps goes up to the top of six large double-opening wooden doors with glass inlays, with a total length of more than 10 meters, all of which are open from the inside and fixed on the ground with deadbolts, welcoming visitors from all over the world.
Chen Fan was about to go inside, but when he looked back, Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin were standing at the bottom of the steps, looking up at the building with their mouths wide open.
Looking at the shiny and smooth terrazzo floor, the neat and orderly glass counter, the dazzling array of goods, and the salespeople chatting on the counter, both of them seemed a little afraid to go inside.
Chen Fan tilted his head and smiled helplessly, walked back again, and said to them, "Why don't you leave?" β
Zhang Wenliang swallowed his saliva, looked at him and whispered, "Will the things in here be very expensive?" β
Zhang Juemin smiled awkwardly, "Yes, no, we are waiting for you here." β
Chen Fan squeezed between the two, grabbed one in one hand, and said to Zhang Wenliang first, "The price uniformly stipulated by the public is only one or two cents more at most, do you think he dares to open his mouth?" β
Then he looked at Zhang Juemin, "It's all here, go in and take a look, it's okay if you don't buy it, or go back to the village, people ask, 'Doctor Zhang, what did you see when you went to the prefectural committee?' And you say, 'I didn't look at anything, I just stood in front of the department store,' isn't it embarrassing?" β
Zhang Juemin swallowed his saliva and nodded, "Shame." β
Then he turned his heart sideways, and walked inside.
Even he wanted to go in, Zhang Wenliang was naturally not far behind, strode up the steps, threw off his arms, and walked into the door with a menacing attitude.
But before they could go inside, a security guard wearing a red armband suddenly flashed and stood in front of the two of them, his eyes seemed to have found criminals, "What are you doing?" β
As soon as these words came out, the salespeople at several nearby counters immediately focused their eyes, and there were constantly approaching in this direction in the distance.
Zhang Wenliang chuckled in his heart and was about to speak, when Chen Fan ran over quickly and said with a smile, "Hello comrade, we want to buy a few clothes, where is the ready-to-wear counter?" β
The security guard looked at him, and then at the Zhang family brothers who were smiling dryly, and pointed to the side casually, "The textile area is in the east." β
After a pause, he warned, "Don't make trouble." β
His copper bell-like eyes stared at Zhang Wenliang like a black cat sheriff, and it was naturally self-evident who he was talking about.
Zhang Wenliang, as a militia company commander, had also heard that the guards of these large units were equipped with guns, and he didn't want to have a shootout with the guards.
At first, he was still a little angry, but after less than 3 seconds, his eyes didn't know where to put them, and as for the warning, he had already been thrown out of the clouds.
It is also a place to sell things, and it is much more advanced than the store department of Nanhu Supply and Marketing Cooperative!
No, it can't be compared at all.
At a glance, there are thousands of square meters of area here, one by one the counters form a large frame in the shape of a hollow, each box is a kind of items, in a circle against the wall, in addition to this side of the road, the other three sides are a large frame, and a dazzling array of goods are also sold.
It sells daily necessities, hot water kettles, enamel products, chemical (plastic) products and other things are neatly arranged, and the glass counter is also bright and eye-catching.
On the other side are tobacco and alcohol non-staple food, all kinds of high-end alcohol and cigarettes are neatly stacked on the back container, and there are complete samples on the counter.
There are also daily chemical creams, shampoos, soaps, toilet waters, and on the other side are a variety of beautifully packaged foods, including biscuits, malt cream, and all kinds of sweets.
Zhang Wenliang only felt that his two eyes couldn't see it.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the front, "Let me let let me, let me make trouble!" Thank you! β
Chen Fan hurriedly stopped, and Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang behind him almost collided.
Then I saw a staircase in front of me, and on the staircase two women held their hands and seemed to catch something, but there was nothing in their hands, but they were shouting.
When they walked down sideways with their teeth and claws on their faces full of nervousness, two more figures appeared on them.
I saw two men carefully holding a TV case, taking a step and stopping to go down the stairs, and when they reached the bottom of the stairs, a woman quickly took out a sheet from her bag, brushed the floor and spread it out on the ground. The men gently placed the TV on the sheets, then wrapped it tightly and lifted it up again to walk out.
Chen Fan wasn't shocked just now, but he was so surprised at this time that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, is this buying a TV?
Then turn your head and look upstairs, there's another floor above?
After pondering for two seconds, he glanced back, looked at Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang, and the three of them nodded in unison, turned around and climbed upstairs.
Ascending to the second floor through a folded staircase, all three of them were immediately shocked.
The space on the second floor of the spicy space, except for the load-bearing columns, only has a circle of counters against the wall, and the rest of the place is all flat, and it is full of goods according to different areas.
Next to the staircase are rows of bicycles, men's side, women's side, 26 row, 28 rows, a car is like a car show, people can't take their eyes off.
At this time, a few people were choosing bicycles, and a girl dressed quite fashionably frowned and seemed to be a little dissatisfied, "How can such a big car be placed on the second floor?" I have to carry it after buying it, and I am so tired and panicked. β
If the salesman is a man, he has to coax a few words, but unfortunately, the one who received her was a half-old, and he couldn't see this kind of "demonic" young man the most, so he immediately snorted coldly, "What you said, put the first floor so that someone could steal it?" If you dare to pay for it, I'm worried about whether you can afford it. β
Chen Fan blinked, such a bullish salesman, he had a fight with the villain salesman!
The girl was so angry, she immediately shook her hands and yelled at the salesman, "How did you talk?" Did you talk like that? What's your name, call your leader, I have to ask him how he taught you! β
The salesman shook his face, "Heh, you count the green onion?" If you want to see the leader, I'll see you? I don't look at what kind of virtue I have. β
Then he turned around and left, "What's the matter, the old lady doesn't serve anymore." β
She also raised her hands and shouted, "Whoever dares to give her a ticket will not be able to get along with the old lady." β
The salesmen around didn't speak, they all crossed their arms and laughed, so angry that the little girl jumped to her feet, and her parents who came with her also scolded loudly and quarreled with the salesman.
Chen Fan and the three of them stood at the top of the stairs, dumbfounded.
After a pause for two seconds, he finally reacted, pulled Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin and left, "Cherish life, stay away from right and wrong, let's go over there and have a look." β
Ignoring the war of words in the bicycle area, Chen Fan quickly shifted in the opposite direction.
Originally, Zhang Wenliang still wanted to see the excitement, but when his eyes came into contact with a row of bicycle-like things, he couldn't take his eyes off, "Oh my God, there is a black eagle here!" β
He swooped over, grabbing the handlebars with both hands, looking left and right, looking up and down, and the more he looked, the more he liked it.
The salesperson in charge of this piece walked over with both hands, "Eh, do you have the money to buy it?" β
Zhang Wenliang was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, stood up awkwardly, and then coughed dryly, pretending to be rich, and pointed to the black eagle, "How much is one?" β
When the salesman saw him asking the price, he thought he was going to buy it, and his face was slightly better, "720 yuan." β
When Zhang Wenliang heard this, he almost didn't pull it.
720 yuan, he wants to save for ten years!
Chen Fan also saw clearly what this thing was at this time, the "Qingqi 15A" moped of Jinan Light Riding Factory.
When it is said to be a motorcycle, it is actually a fuel tank and booster installed on the bicycle rack, which is considered a moped.
(Black Eagle)
There are only two kinds of common motorcycles in these years, one is the Yangtze River 750 produced by Hongdu, especially the side three wheels with a nephew, which was once the most beautiful boy on the street, and the other is the happiness 125 and happiness 250 produced by Shanghai Motorcycle Factory.
Although the happiness brand motorcycle is known as the "civilian car", but in fact, until now, it has only been sold to units, for example, the post office is the largest customer, and many postmen who run in the mountains ride the happiness motorcycle.
However, it is also for civilian research and development, and the "Light Riding 15A", which is called "Black Eagle", "Black Ant" and "Black Dragonfly", after a period of "exclusive unit", was finally opened to the civilian market in 64 years, and it is also a motorcycle that ordinary people can really buy.
Chen Fan also learned from a teacher who loved motorcycles because he was studying mechanical courses when he was in college, and the first car that the teacher owned that year was the Black Eagle Eagle .
Recalling these, he happened to hear the salesman's quotation, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hello comrade, I want to ask, I have a friend who bought a car for 672 yuan, why are we so expensive here?" β
When the salesman heard his words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked at him carefully, although the clothes he was wearing were very ordinary, and there were some folds after a long train, but the leather bag he carried on his waist was very eye-catching, and he had never seen this style of bag.
The arrogance in his heart was extinguished a little, and he said with a smile, "Then your friend is very powerful, 672 is the price of several years ago, it seems to be 10 years ago, when it was just put on the market to sell, it was set at this price, at that time, the black eagle was scarce, only two or three thousand vehicles were produced a year, and many big cadres couldn't buy it, but he could buy it, it was definitely not simple." β
After a pause, he smiled again, "You see that it was all 10 years ago, and then the black eagle has been in short supply, and the price has increased year by year, 720 yuan, which is the latest price this year."
The price set by the public, no matter how much I sell, I will not get a penny of benefits, and I will definitely not shout the price like the capitalists back then. β
Chen Fan suddenly said, "Oh, so that's the case, thank you." β
As he spoke, he took out a peony cigarette and handed one over.
The salesman took the cigarette, took out a lighter and lit it, and said with a smile, "I see that your bag is quite chic, where did you buy it?" β
Chen Fan opened his mouth and came, "Oh, this is what my friend brought me back from Shanghai, and he didn't say which store he bought it from, he didn't even have a brand." β
Hearing that there was no brand, the salesman couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his eyes, but he still didn't give up, "Then can I ask your friend to inquire again?" β
Chen Fan naturally didn't say anything, "Okay, when he comes back from Shanghai, I'll help you ask him." β
The salesman couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, "That's troublesome." β
Then he looked at Zhang Wenliang, who was stunned on the side, and said with a pleasant face, "Comrade, have you made a good choice?" If you want to buy it, you have to hurry, this batch of cars just arrived today, or it will be sold out in two days, and I don't know when the next batch will be waiting. β
When Zhang Wenliang heard this, everyone was numb, how could he afford it? Zhang Juemin was even more embarrassed and eager to find a crack to get into.
Chen Fan smiled secretly, and then said to the salesman, "Comrade, let me make you laugh, we brought the money, but unfortunately there are no tickets." β
He also glanced at the car a few times regretfully, "If I had known that there was a black eagle here, I would definitely find a way to get a ticket to come over." β
Regarding Chen Fan's words, the salesman was skeptical, but he didn't say much, just smiled, "This really depends on luck, even our internal cadres and workers don't know when the black eagle will arrive, and it's normal for it not to happen today."
But if you really want to buy it, you have to be fully prepared, buy the black eagle, in addition to the special ticket, but also 70 industrial coupons, you must bring all the tickets to buy it. β
Chen Fan nodded solemnly, "Mmmm, next time I'll bring all the tickets at home and go out shopping." β
Waving goodbye to the salesman, Chen Fan glanced at it, and then turned around and went downstairs regretfully.
Zhang Wenliang walked quickly to his side and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get your Shanghai friend?" Also bought a black eagle? β
Chen Fan smiled, "Fart Shanghai friend." There are so many newspapers piled up in the reference room, all of them are still there from more than ten years ago, and I just read the newspaper there when I have nothing to do, and I don't know what I have read, this is what I saw in the newspaper. But I didn't pay attention to what it was. β
Zhang Juemin shook his head on the side and sighed, "Then you are really calm enough, the lie is the same as the truth." β
Zhang Wenliang glanced at Chen Fan with a strange face, and wanted to ask if his amnesia was also lying.
But after thinking about it, what about him, if it weren't for his amnesia, he wouldn't necessarily stay in Lujiawan. Isn't it good now, to shine for Lujiawan, not to mention amnesia, loss of body...... That's still not going to work.
Zhang Juemin turned his head and glanced at the goods on the second floor, in addition to bicycles and black eagles, there were also various electrical appliances such as televisions, tape recorders, radios, electric fans, etc., and the other two of the four major items, sewing machines and watch counters were also here.
Watches, bicycles, sewing machines and radios are the four major pieces of the legendary "three turns and one ring".
However, now families with conditions have upgraded the "one ring" to the TV.
Involution is everywhere!
Walking to the staircase, the family who bought the bicycle was still having a war of words with the salesman, and he just didn't do it, and Chen Fan shook his head.
He was about to go downstairs, and when he saw Zhang Juemin's face again, he couldn't help but smile, "Brother Big Tiger, no matter how good the things are here, but we don't have tickets, so we can't afford them!" β
At this time, Zhang Wen asked curiously, "You really brought enough money to buy the black eagle?" β
Chen turned his head to look at him, "Do you believe this?" β
The corners of Zhang Wenliang's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at the goods again, then sighed, went downstairs, and said, "When I return to Lujiawan, I can blow about things here for a year!" β
Resident Zhang nodded thoughtfully, "So that no one will say that I came to the local commission for nothing." β
Chen Fan followed behind with a smile, waited to the first floor, and walked directly to the counter selling ready-to-wear.
Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin are still observing.
"Wow, sunglasses? It costs 5 yuan 6, so expensive! β
"Even a glasses case costs 6 cents and 7 cents, which must be expensive. Look at that backpack, it's far worse than the one on you, and it's 5 pieces 8, it's really expensive. β
"You also said that the bag costs 8 yuan 3, but it should contain a lot of things. Hey, here's a fur coat, I'll look at the price, uh ......, 104 yuan? Crazy, I might as well make a few skins and ask someone to do it for you! β
"Hey, there is corduroy cloth here, big brother, do you have a cloth ticket?"
"I brought it, but it's from Gufeng County, I don't know if it works here?"
"That's definitely not going to work, eh, what about Xiao Chen?"
The two turned their heads to look, only to see that Chen Fan had already walked to the ready-to-wear counter, pointed to a shirt and asked, "Comrade, how much is this shirt?" β
The middle-aged woman was about to say impatiently, isn't that a price tag? When he turned around, he saw Chen Fan's handsome face, and immediately smiled kindly, "Hello little comrade, this is a cloth shirt, only 3 pieces 2 mao 6." β
