Chapter 26 A man spends his money on his wife and children
There are so many people inside, and there are so many different kinds of fabrics and daily necessities that it’s really easy to get lost.
But there are more people coming to see than buying.
After all, even if you have money, you don’t have tickets; even if you have tickets, you may not be able to spare the money.
The entire county, except for the mining areas and the county seat, is all rural.
Li Wenjun went straight to the cloth counter and asked the salesperson: "Which is the most expensive material?"
The salesperson glanced sideways at Li Wenjun and snorted: "These are the best Zhenliang from Suicheng. They cost 10 yuan per meter and 3 yuan per foot."
Someone nearby exclaimed: "Hey, darling, it costs 10 yuan per meter. Is this the cloth worn by gods?"
10 yuan is enough to buy 200 kilograms of potatoes, or nearly 20 kilograms of pork.
In fact, it is expensive, airtight and easy to catch fire. However, in this era, everyone is crazy about it because it has more designs and bright colors than cotton, is not easy to be scratched, and the clothes made are wrinkle-free.
Young people all want to have good-quality clothes, just like Northeastern people later like a mink coat, and urban white-collar workers want a Hermès bag.
"Do you like this color?" Li Wenjun asked Gu Zhanyan.
Gu Zhanyan was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Will you buy it for me?"
"Yeah. Of course I'm buying it for you."
"Just make two sets for Diandian and my parents. You don't have to give them to me." Gu Zhanyan said, "I still have clothes to wear."
"Isn't it true that men make money just to spend it on their wives and children?" Li Wenjun laughed, "Choose one. Make a skirt."
He had dozens of dollars in his pocket, which is almost equivalent to the first quarter's salary of most people now.
The salesperson looked at them talking coldly and sarcastically said: There are so many men who come here every day to carry money, but they give up when it comes to paying. Dresses cost money. The man in front of me will definitely buy a meter of cotton for this woman in the end.
It's great to make a short-sleeved top.
Gu Zhanyan hesitated for a moment and pointed at the blue floral flower: "This one." It seemed that this one looked plainer.
Li Wenjun said: "That one is too plain. You have fair skin, so you look good in this brighter yellow color."
Of course Gu Zhanyan knew that the yellow color was bright and beautiful, but she didn't want to make herself ostentatious and cause unnecessary trouble.
Seeing that she was silent, Li Wenjun probably liked the yellow one, so he told the salesperson: "Then the yellow and blue ones will cost two meters each."
The salesperson said expressionlessly: "40 yuan, four cloth tickets."
Gu Zhanyan whispered: "Are you crazy? Why did you buy so many?"
"I think you can't decide. Just keep it the same."
Gu Zhanyan could only say: "Buy yellow."
Li Wenjun smiled at the salesperson: "Then two meters of yellow."
The salesperson didn't move.
Li Wenjun said: "I also want two meters of white and blue cotton cloth, and two meters of floral cotton cloth."
The salesperson snorted again: "A total of 26 yuan. 24 square feet of cloth ticket."
There are more people watching.
Li Wenjun smiled, took out three large unity sheets, counted 4 five-city feet and 4 one-city feet cloth tickets and placed them on the counter.
The salesperson's eyes widened.
It was a brand new unity, and she rarely saw one in ten days.
This young man took out 3 cards at once.
"Please, help me cut the cloth." Li Wenjun reminded the salesperson.
The salesperson blinked and exclaimed: "I can't tell, young man, you are quite rich. What do you do?"
"It's nothing, I'm just an employee of the pyrite mine." Li Wenjun smiled lightly.
Li Wenjun didn't care about her being arrogant at first and respectful at the end. After all, people who can work as sales assistants in department stores also have family backgrounds.
Besides, self-employment has not started yet, so it is true that there are no such rich people.
"Wenjun." The intercom in Li Wenjun's bag rang.
Compared with the mining area, the county has a much flatter terrain.
Zhao Lin said that he would come to the city today, and Li Wenjun said that he just wanted to try out the performance of the newly made walkie-talkie. He asked him to hold a walkie-talkie and call him continuously after coming out of the mining area to see the effective distance of the walkie-talkie in a flat place.
How far is it?
Li Wenjun took out his walkie-talkie, pressed it and asked, "Where are you?"
"TRAIN STATION."
"Okay, got it."
The train station is on the east side of the county town, about four kilometers away from here.
Unexpectedly, the call distance was further than he expected.
The salesperson stared at the walkie-talkie in his hand and waited for Li Wenjun to put it away before asking: "What is this?"
"The wireless walkie-talkie I made myself."
"Can you talk without a phone line?"
"yes."
"How much can it be sold for?"
"Not for sale, only for rent."
The salesperson thought for a moment without saying a word, and then quickly cut the cloth for Li Wenjun, tied it with a hemp rope with a package of newspapers, and asked: "Do you want anything else?"
Li Wenjun nodded: "I'll go to the grocery counter to check, I won't bother you."
Diandian has been staring at the snacks over there all morning, and is leaning towards that side, humming as he wants to pass.
Now Li Wenjun was holding her and leaning towards her. Her big bright eyes were looking around, but they were no longer enough.
Sweet hard fruit candies, brown and sweet biscuits, crispy walnut pastries, and soft cakes.
Never eaten it!
Li Wenjun also bought a pound, took a piece of cake, tore off the paper underneath, and handed it to Diandian who was anxious.
Diandian hugged the cake and ate it with big mouthfuls. Half of it was eaten and half of it was dropped, which was all over Li Wenjun's and her own clothes.
Li Wenjun wiped her mouth with some distress and thought to himself: My poor baby, this simple snack has made you so greedy. From now on, daddy will take you to eat delicious food all over the world.
Li Wenjun went to the shoe cabinet again and bought a new pair of Jiefang shoes for himself, and also bought a pair of shoes for Gu Zhanyan and Diandian. After taking the shoes, he couldn't wait to put them on Diandian.
"My little princess, put on these glass slippers and walk the most elegant steps in the world."
They are called crystal shoes, but they are actually a pair of transparent plastic sandals.
If he hadn't been reborn, he would have been able to afford diamond shoes, let alone crystal shoes.
It's a pity that now we only have plastic shoes.
He was not in a hurry to go out, so he had two bags of Hongtashan and one bag of Daqianmen.
Gu Zhanyan secretly frowned: Is he going to learn to smoke? There are many people smoking around. But Li Wenjun has always refused to get involved.
This was one of the few advantages Gu Zhanyan thought he had before.
Li Wenjun seemed to have guessed that she would think so, and turned around and said, "I don't smoke. Sometimes I need to discuss business. Besides, dad always smokes silk, which is too harmful."
In this era, Hongtashan was the best tool for building relationships. Later, the tools gradually became Maotai, Cordyceps, imported bags and various jewelry.
He will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people and needs to be prepared.
Gu Zhanyan silently counted in his mind: He brought 80 yuan with him today.
