Maiyang Road is a small street only 700 meters long. This street is located to the north of Xiafei Road. The intersection looks very inconspicuous. But starting from March and April this year, this previously deserted small street suddenly became

It became lively. After the first clothing store opened at the corner of Xiafei Road, in less than half a year, more than 20 clothing stores opened here.

Standing at the intersection of this street, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenes around him, Song Yuanchao was in a trance for a while.

Maiyang Road Clothing Market is the most famous place after the reform and opening up in Shanghai. The prosperity of this market continued until the late 1990s. In the late 1990s, the clothing market moved to Xiafei, about one kilometer away from the original location.

Opposite the road park, it has been popular for nearly ten years.

Maiyang Road was most famous from the late 1990s to the first few years of the new century. At that time, its fame even spread out of Asia and into the world. When foreigners come to Shanghai, the first thing they do is visit Maiyang Road.

Yanglu Clothing Market, the vast majority of these foreigners include ordinary people, as well as executives and diplomats from multinational companies, and even some famous Hollywood superstars and political figures are also very interested in this market and spend a full day looking here.

Something you like.

As early as 1957, a metal shed was erected on the roadside of Maiyang Road. However, it was mainly used to trade secondhand goods, and it was also called the Maiyang Road flea market. Now, with the continuous development of the flea market,

Shrinking, new clothing stores began to replace the previous thrift stores one after another, and the beginning of the future was already vaguely visible.

"This place is a bit like Dashilar." Today, Song Yuanchao accompanied Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun to visit Maiyang Road. When they arrived at the intersection and saw the bustle inside, Lin Yan couldn't help but said.

"It's a bit similar, but the storefront is different, but the atmosphere is still the same." Song Yuanchao agreed. At this time, Li Xiaoyun pulled Lin Yan and walked in happily. Girls all like to be lively, and shopping is a woman's nature.

How can you hold back after seeing these?

The first store at the door made Li Xiaoyun's eyes light up. This store not only had many products that she was familiar with, but also some new things that she had never seen in Yanjing. She dragged Lin Yan around the store, picking and choosing.

He was carrying things and asking the stall owner about the price from time to time, looking very interested.

Song Yuanchao didn't go in. The store was very small, with all kinds of clothes and accessories hanging everywhere, as well as some small department stores and other gadgets.

Most of the clothes are clothes and pants, including jeans, bell-bottom pants, and shirts, which are the most popular styles at present. Many of them are products from Tengfei Factory and Xiangjiang, because they have the Apple trademark on them.

It's easy to spot, but of course there are some fakes and miscellaneous brands, all hanging around.

In addition to these, there are things like microphones, electronic watches and even calculators, as well as some girls' headwear, rubber bands, beads and flowers, and even children's toys.

Looking at the dazzling array of products, Song Yuanchao felt the excitement here. Today is Sunday, there are especially many people here, and the street is very lively with people coming and going.

Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun stayed in this store for a long time. They finally bought a headdress each. The headdress was made of plastic and inlaid with fake pearls and silk flowers. It was not expensive and looked very beautiful. Although this kind of thing

It was already bad in later generations, but now it is a representative of the new trend.

Coming out of the store happily, Li Xiaoyun even put on the headdress on the spot. She shook her head from side to side and asked Lin Yan if it looked good. Of course Lin Yan said it looked good. The two girls held hands and continued to walk forward, visiting one store after another.

, I bought a little here and a little there, and I bought a lot of stuff in a short time.

After shopping for a long time, they reached the middle section and entered a store to look at things. Song Yuanchao was waiting at the door with the things they bought and rested at the same time. Shopping with a woman was really a hard job. Song Yuanchao felt that it was better than running alone.

Walking ten kilometers is still tiring. What's worse is that from time to time Lin Yan and the others will run out and use their clothes to mark themselves, asking Song Yuanchao whether he looks good or not. This makes Song Yuanchao rack his brains to deal with it, and he can't show bored expressions.

You can't keep talking about everything and just deal with it hastily. You must answer questions with reason and evidence, and look at the other side after careful consideration. Only in this way can they be satisfied.

After waiting for a while, they checked the time and if they didn't buy anything, the two of them would be almost out. After summarizing their experiences along the way, it took two people about 20 minutes to visit a store, and now it was almost 20 minutes away.

Just when Song Yuanchao was thinking this, he suddenly heard a noise coming from inside. Song Yuanchao was stunned. Wasn't this the voice of Li Xiaoyun? His face changed and he hurried to the store without saying a word.

"What do you mean? Do you think Ala is the biggest one? Should I strike with a spear or attack?" Li Xiaoyun cursed in a rude voice. As soon as Song Yuanchao entered, he saw his little face turned red and he was scolding a young shopkeeper.

"I don't know whether it's big or not! If you can't afford it, don't put money in it. If you have money, just take it out!" The young shopkeeper was wearing trendy clothes, a floral shirt, bell-bottom pants, a mustache, and a bridged nose.

He was also wearing a microphone, with a disdainful look on his face, and his words were sarcastic.

"I have plenty of money. Even if I throw it into the Huangpu River, I won't give it to you! What the hell, a filthy egg pretending to be a diamond? You're blackmailing someone!"

"That's it! If you continue to talk nonsense, be careful and you'll be spoiled!" The shop owner pushed the microphone to his forehead, stared with two eyes as big as mung beans, tilted his head and threatened: "Anyway, I'm going to break the thing.

Yes, pay the money! Take out the money, 200 yuan, pay the money and leave!"

"Bah!" Li Xiaoyun was furious. She had never suffered such a loss in her entire life. What's more, a broken thing actually costs 200 yuan? It must be made of gold!

"Comrade, please speak up! This thing is obviously broken. You are cheating on me. Why should you ask us to compensate?" Lin Yan on the side was afraid that Li Xiaoyun would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly grabbed her and stopped her in front of her.

Store training questions.

"Still gay? Where did this country bumpkin come from? Stop talking nonsense and pay quickly!" the shop owner was arrogant and cursed in Mandarin with an accent.

"You...!" Lin Yan's face turned red with anger. Just as she was about to refute Song Yuanchao, she came in. When she saw this situation, she quickly stopped her and asked what happened.

"Brother Yuanchao, you came just in time." Seeing Song Yuanchao coming, Li Xiaoyun pointed to her right hand angrily and said, "Look at this, it's already broken. My hand broke when I touched it. He really insisted on saying that.

I broke it, and we still have to spend 200 yuan to buy it. Isn’t this blackmail?"

Following what Li Xiaoyun expected, he saw a pair of microphone glasses with a broken leg in the frame. When he saw this, Song Yuanchao already understood what was going on.

With a gloomy face, Song Yuanchao picked up the microphone and took a closer look. From the broken holes on the mirror legs, he could tell that the microphone was not new, but had been broken for some time, because the crack was clearly caused by the squeeze.

It was fractured by pressure, and the cracks at the fracture location were also a bit old. It was absolutely impossible for Li Xiaoyun to damage it.

Besides, microphone glasses are originally meant to be worn by people. How can they be worn if they can break at a touch?

"Friend, isn't it a good idea to do business like this?" Song Yuanchao asked the shopkeeper coldly, holding this pair of microphone glasses.

"Don't talk to me about this. If you damage something, you will have to pay for it wherever you go!" The shop owner waved his hand and was not afraid of Song Yuanchao's questioning. Instead, he said confidently: "This pair of microphone glasses is an authentic imported product. I

The price is clearly marked at 200 yuan in the store, but you broke it and I can still sell it? To tell you the truth, if you don’t buy it today, I will be rude to you, and none of you will even think about leaving!"

While they were talking, two arrogant guys appeared out of nowhere, blocking the small store door tightly on the left and the right. At the same time, they looked at Song Yuanchao and them with unkind eyes, especially unscrupulously.

Looking at Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun.

"Fart! If I don't pay compensation today, what can you do to me? Are you playing a gangster? Come on, come on, show me the trick? If I frown today, I'm not your aunt!"

"Na, you're still trying to play tricks on me? I've seen this kind of prankster a lot. Stop talking nonsense and pay me quickly, or you'll be rude!"

"you……."

Li Xiaoyun's lungs were about to explode. She encountered such a mess while shopping. In addition, Li Xiaoyun was not a person who didn't understand. She had been working in Luoyang for a long time, so she shouldn't be too familiar with things like microphone mirrors.

Are these microphone glasses imported? Shit! At first glance, they are fakes. The frames are all made of plastic, and they are very low-quality plastic. They feel wrong when you hold them in your hands. In addition, the labels on the lenses are not in English.

, it’s clearly Chinese Pinyin, but I don’t know if it’s a fake produced by that small factory.

This type of microphone is sold wholesale in Luoyang for only 5 yuan a pair, and the sales price is 10 to 15 yuan, which is as high as the sky. Do you really think that Li Xiaoyun doesn't understand anything? He asked for 200 yuan directly?

Li Xiaoyun has always had a fiery personality, and it was her idea to go shopping here today. Lin Yan was still there, and it would be very embarrassing to admit this today.

Just when Li Xiaoyun was about to argue with the other party and have a good talk, Song Yuanchao unexpectedly stopped her with one hand.

"How much does this pair of microphone glasses cost? 200?" Song Yuanchao asked the shopkeeper calmly.

"Yes! 200! Pay the money and leave! If I continue to act like a rogue, I won't be so easy to talk to." The shop owner still looked arrogant and looked askance at Song Yuanchao.

Song Yuanchao nodded without saying much, stuffed the broken microphone directly into his pocket, and then clicked out 20 unity cards from another pocket.

"This is 200, count."

Song Yuanchao's cheerfulness surprised the shopkeeper, and then he was overjoyed. He quickly took the money and counted it quickly. It was yes, 200 yuan.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and he said to Song Yuanchao: "This friend of yours can carry it clearly, 200 is right, okay, you can go."

With a wave of his hand, the two "door gods" at the door gave way to the middle passage. At this time, Li Xiaoyun stared at Song Yuanchao with incredible eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, Song Yuanchao grabbed her by the hand.

Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun walked out of the store and left without saying a word.

"Brother Yuan Chao, they are blackmailing people, how can you give money directly?" When we got outside, the sun was scorching hot, but the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

After walking about ten meters away from the store, Li Xiaoyun couldn't help but blame Song Yuanchao.

"I know." Song Yuanchao smiled faintly, touched Li Xiaoyun's head, and then looked at Lin Yan who was thoughtful next to him: "It's only 200 yuan. The safety of you and Yanzi is more important than the money. A gentleman cannot stand.

Under the dangerous wall, there is no need to fight with these little bastards for such a small amount of money."

"Your brother who aids the Korean War is right. Come on, Xiaoyun, don't be angry. Just now I was really worried that they would take action directly. If the three men really fight, your brother who aids the Korean War will suffer." Lin Yanla

She held Li Xiaoyun's hand and comforted her. She still agreed with Song Yuanchao's solution to the problem. If there was a real conflict in that situation, she and Li Xiaoyun would not be able to help at all, and they might even get Song Yuanchao to suffer a beating.

beat.

"I'm so angry!" Li Xiaoyun thought about it and understood the truth, but there was still a fire in her heart, and she was so angry that she puffed up her cheeks and stamped her feet.

"Okay, don't be angry. It's not worth being angry for this kind of person." Song Yuanchao comforted her with a smile, and then asked: "Let's go, there are a few stores behind, let's continue shopping."

"Why are you still shopping? I'm not in the mood anymore. Let's go back." Li Xiaoyun shook her head. Seeing that she had no interest in shopping, Lin Yan naturally did the same. In this case, she went back home, but they didn't leave.

Instead of turning back, we continued walking forward, intending to cross Maiyang Road and exit from the north.

After walking a few steps, they were about to reach the north exit. A young man appeared out of nowhere and suddenly blocked the way of Song Yuanchao and the three of them. This young man was dressed similarly to the shopkeeper just now, and he was also the same.
