At the end of the day's training, it's time for the students to relax again.
We all met up in twos and threes to go shopping.
Wang Xia and Liu Limin also made an appointment.
Of course, they were going shopping, not making a date or anything like that.
Liu Limin also remembered one thing. He wanted to buy cloth and gifts for his younger brothers and sisters. Tonight would be the perfect time.
In this era, the most lively place in Longdu City is definitely Shawan.
The Prince's Temple, the Western Qin Guild Hall, and the inscription "Return My Rivers and Mountains" inscribed by the patriotic general Feng Yuxiang, this place has witnessed the glorious era of Longdu.
Now, Shawan not only has a newly built department store, but also a very lively night market. Whenever night comes, the night market is extremely lively and crowded.
At the night market, there are many vendors selling a variety of goods.
As for department stores, more people with stronger financial strength will go in to buy things.
When Liu Limin and Wang Xia arrived at Shawan, the sky was gradually getting dark.
Wang Xia smiled and said: "Xiao Liu, how about we go to the department store first? What are you going to buy back?"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Okay, I want to buy some good-looking fabrics to go back and make new clothes for my brothers and sisters. This time I come to Longdu, I can't come back empty-handed!"
Wang Xia smiled and said: "Okay, I also want to buy some cloth and go back. It just so happens that we can go and have a look together."
The two walked into the department store talking and laughing.
It is said to be a department store, but in fact this building is not big or high.
It was just a seven-story building, but in Longdu City at this time, it was already a very tall building, and it was the commercial core of the entire city.
It is indeed very lively inside, and many people are looking for various products. Although many people come just to take a look and not with a shopping mentality, this does not affect the atmosphere of the department store.
Business is indeed very good, and there are many people buying things.
Some people were not planning to buy anything at first, but when they saw that the products were novel and liked them so much, they couldn't help but buy them anyway.
People in the city are still much more sophisticated than people in the countryside, so there are relatively few people wearing patchwork clothes.
So Liu Limin received a lot of strange looks when he came in. His clothes were patched and patched, too shabby, and there was a mature woman beside him.
It's impossible not to attract attention.
The two came to the fabric sales area on the second floor and saw many people gathered in front of the counter, choosing to buy fabrics.
The most popular one is of course the famous indeed good cloth. This kind of cloth is a new thing. It is very popular among people because it is strong and durable, has good elasticity, is not easy to deform, is easy to wash and quick to dry, and is available in various colors.
When Liu Limin saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, Liang is very popular now, but many years later, not many people were willing to wear it. At that time, people began to like pure cotton fabrics or other new varieties.
It is indeed a good cloth, but it has many shortcomings. One is that it is not close-fitting and not warm. Come summer, the breathability is not good, especially if you sweat a lot, it will be no different from a transparent one.
However, in this era, Doliang is indeed the most popular fabric. Because it is rich in color and can be made into beautiful clothes, it will also attract a lot of people's attention when walking on the street. This kind of attention is not what Liu Limin is now known for.
That kind of attention.
That was a look of envy, not a look of contempt for Liu Limin now.
Indeed, the demand for this kind of polyester fiber is very tight right now, and everyone is rushing to buy it, because the output of this kind of fabric is still relatively limited. The light industry in the late 1970s was not developed yet, and this kind of polyester fiber was basically imported.
This reminded Liu Limin of another thing. In the 1990s, Longdu City introduced a Korean company to build a large-scale polyester fiber production plant in Machokou through attracting investment. At that time, it was the largest polyester fiber production plant in Longdu City.
An investment project, even a key investment promotion project in the province.
It's a pity that when the factory was first built, polyester fiber began to decline, and people no longer liked products woven from polyester fiber. In the end, the factory was heavily in debt and was in a semi-bankrupt state.
Liu Limin and Wang Xia also squeezed up and asked about the price. The current good quality cloth cost seven yuan per meter and two feet of cloth ticket was required, but this still could not stop people's enthusiasm for buying.
One meter of cloth can be used to make about three or four short-sleeved shirts, or two or three long-sleeved clothes and one long skirt.
Liu Limin thought about it and decided that buying three meters of cloth would be enough, and it would be divided into three colors and could not be repeated.
With great difficulty, Liu Limin and Wang Xia finally got in line. Liu Limin bought one meter of pink, one meter of white, and one meter of blue Doliang for autumn clothing.
It cost more than 20 yuan at once, not counting the cloth tickets.
But after buying it, Liu Limin was really happy. He took it back and made new clothes for his younger brothers and sisters. They would definitely jump with joy.
Alas, thinking about my family, I haven’t bought any cloth to make new clothes for a long time. I didn’t even make new clothes during the Spring Festival last year.
In one word, poor!
Things are better now.
Finally, I have a technology, and I won’t have to worry about having no money to spend in the future. It will be much better than ordinary people no matter what.
After buying the ingredients, the two of them walked around again and finally came to the night market.
Everything in this night market is very cheap.
Liu Limin chose a beautiful hairpin, a handkerchief, and a canvas schoolbag, and none of them were left behind. These are the things that his younger brothers and sisters cherish very much. If they don't see them when they go back, they will probably be sad for a long time.
Suddenly, Liu Limin saw a second-hand book stall with a lot of second-hand books for sale.
The current Liu Limin is not the original Liu Limin. In the past, he had a headache when reading books, but now he is very interested in books.
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Sister Wang, there is a used bookstall over there. Come and have a look!"
Wang Xia smiled and said: "Xiao Liu, do you like reading?"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Let's take a look. If there are any medical books or the like, you can buy them back and read them!"
The two came to the second-hand bookstall and started searching with the help of dim light.
There were all kinds of books on the old bookstall. Not to mention, Liu Limin found an old book on medical skills. The cover of this book was very shabby. It was a medical record or a book published during the Republic of China.
Liu Limin flipped through it and found it quite good. There were many medical records in it, all of which were of reference value.
After some haggling with the boss, I finally bought it for 20 cents.
Of course Wang Xia is not interested in medical books anymore, just for fun.
After buying a book, the two of them continued shopping. After nine o'clock, they walked back to the hospital dormitory.
