A group of people watching the excitement swarmed in, as if there was some treasure in front of them, and they couldn't grab it if they squeezed in too slowly.
Yu Ping wanted to stand at the door with someone else and wanted to say something, but he was pushed aside and no one paid attention to him.
When customers entered the department store, they were all shocked by the spacious and majestic space, including the workers at the chemical plant.
At first, this place was just an old factory. Since new equipment and new factory buildings were built, it has been idle.
Unexpectedly, it is completely new now.
Moreover, the products here are neatly displayed and have a wide variety.
There are not only various cloths, shoes, clothing, but also cultural and sports supplies, non-staple food areas...
But as ordinary people, we are not interested in whether the decoration is stylish or not. We are also not interested in whether the variety of products is rich or not.
No matter how impressive it is, it doesn't belong to their family. How can it be that you can stay here and not go home?
No matter how abundant the products are, what does it have to do with them? Is it possible to buy the same things?
What they are more concerned about is how the products sold in this department store are like and how the prices compare with state-owned department stores.
So, one by one, like headless flies, they stared at the price tag.
This is the national price. What is written on it cannot deceive people.
"The price of this flashlight is the same as that of a state-owned store."
"No, it seems to be a penny less."
"real or fake?"
"Really, I just bought a flashlight a while ago. Of course I remember the price."
"Compared with the ones in state-owned stores, this soap costs two cents less."
"Hey, there is actually this globe here. This one seems to be only found in Xinhua Bookstore, right?"
"The Xinhua Bookstore is not as big as this."
"There's also a pen here, the hero's."
"There are so many different types of fabrics. Look, last time I saw this color in a department store, it was said to be out of stock."
"Do I need a cloth ticket to buy cloth?"
Everyone was talking about what they saw and heard.
The salespersons were also nervous, but they still faced these customers with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, take a look. There is an opening event today. Although our prices are the same as those of state-owned department stores, we don't need tickets. In addition,
If you buy it for twenty yuan, you will have a chance to draw a prize, and the first prize will be leather shoes, worth dozens of dollars."
These common people are also making calculations in their minds.
This does not require votes, and it is already a great advantage.
After all, not everyone can get a ticket.
Those tickets, in many cases, are supplied according to plan, and there are no more.
Even those who engage in speculation can make a fortune just by selling votes.
But Xu Erlong doesn’t want votes.
At most next year, once various private enterprises develop and industrial production capacity is fully expanded, there will no longer be a shortage of materials. These votes will not have much practical significance.
It's going to be canceled anyway.
He might as well cancel now.
And in addition, this department store has a trump card: it can use treasury bills to buy things.
This time, it really stimulated these customers greatly.
Customers who had not planned to buy anything originally were rushing home to get treasury bills to buy things.
That thing can be used against money, but of course it must be used quickly to avoid leaving it at home as waste paper.
Luo Yu mixed in the crowd and followed the flow of people into the department store.
He was supposed to go to work today.
But he took a special leave to come here.
His goal was clear. After entering the department store, he rushed directly to the food department to see how his candies and pastries were doing.
Although each of these candies and pastries only weighs ten kilograms, they add up to dozens of kilograms. He borrowed the money to buy the raw materials from relatives and friends.
His idea was to secretly make it at home and then sell it to Xu Erlong's department store. When the time comes, it would be nice if he could share some money.
In this way, even if it does not delay him from working in the candy factory to earn wages, he can still earn money by starting a second side business based on his own ability.
There were many customers in front of the food counter, and Luo Yu was quite happy.
But if you take a closer look, you can see that these customers are buying candies and pastries, but they don't buy his products at all.
Others either buy high-end brand-name products like White Rabbit, or simply buy some fruit candies to entertain their children.
When buying pastries, people also look for the types and brands produced by state-owned candy companies.
No one asked about his bulk candies and pastries, and no one bought them.
Luo Yu was anxious.
He made these candies and pastries with borrowed money.
It opens today and so many people come in to buy things. If they don’t buy his candies and pastries, does that mean that they won’t be able to sell them in the future?
"You guys buy this kind of peanut candy? This peanut candy is delicious." Luo Yu was so anxious that he wanted to shout out.
Everyone turned to look at him and did not agree with his words.
"Really, this peanut candy is really delicious. It also contains sorghum jelly and so on." Luo Yu once again praised this thing: "It is guaranteed to be more delicious than the candy produced by that candy factory."
He even pointed to the cake in the glass jar and said to everyone: "And this cake is made entirely of eggs, without adding a drop of water. It is a real cake."
Someone replied to him: "Who knows, we have never eaten it. Whether it tastes good or not, only you can tell."
"If you don't believe it, just buy a little bit and try it first." Luo Yu said with a sad face.
Even the salesperson at the counter couldn't help but look at him.
Look, look, look at his serious and anxious look, he looks more like a salesman than me. He just forcibly opens the customers' mouths and stuffs things into their mouths to make them eat.
"Why should we spend money to buy and taste it? If it doesn't taste good, then it's a waste of money?" The customers answered him in a variety of ways, and the central idea was this.
When the money in your pocket is limited, of course you have to spend every penny wisely. How can you just spend money to buy it and try it out?
Luo Yu gritted his teeth and made up his mind to fight.
He said to the salesperson: "Give me half a catty of peanut candy."
The salesperson faced him with a smile: "Okay, half a catty, right? I'll invoice you and you'll pay."
Luo Yu never thought that he would bring his own things here to sell, but when he changed hands, he would come to get half a catty, and he would still have to pay for it.
He was anxious to find Xu Erlong, but apart from seeing Xu Erlong when he opened the business just now, he had no idea where Xu Erlong had gone.
Xu Erlong could only bite the bullet, issue the invoice, take the receipt, run to the cash counter over there, pay the money, and run back again.
The salesperson weighed half a pound of peanut candy and handed it to him.
