The price of "People's Hero Khaki" is 3.61 meters, plus one foot of cloth. The price of "Que Liang" is much higher, 6.51 meters, plus 2 feet of cloth.
The number of votes was almost double that of the "people's hero".
Six yuan and fifty-one meters is a high price, but it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the people in Fucheng. "Chenliang" just "appeared" in the department store and caused a sensation in the whole city. People rushed to tell each other and then poured into the store.
The rush buying started.
"Wenxiu, hurry up and leave. My eldest aunt is a saleswoman at San Department Store. I told her that she left three meters of Deliang for me. If I get there late, it will be sold out."
Just after dawn on Sunday morning, a colleague of Liu Lang's mother came to the door and shouted.
Liu Lang's mother had just finished making breakfast and ran out without even applying cream. She got on her bicycle with her colleague and ran to the Third Department Store.
My mother came back at noon, holding a yellow Doliang horse in her hand. As soon as she walked into the alley, she was immediately spotted by the neighbors. They all came up and touched it with their hands, making a sound of admiration.
"Son, mother will make a dress out of this cloth for you."
Mother walked into the house and said to Liu Lang.
"Mom, I'm not going out, so I won't need it, so you and dad should use it."
Liu Lang looked down upon this kind of "really good person".
"It's okay. Your clothes don't use much material. After I finish making you, I can make a top for your dad... That's it!"
In the next few days, Liu Lang's mother used a sewing machine to carefully make a suit of clothes for Liu Lang, but when Liu Lang put them on and walked outside, the neighbors started talking.
"The old Liu family uses Doliang to make clothes for their children. They are really rich!"
"What do you know? The old Liu family is friends with the big leaders in the province. Now they are rich. I heard that if I buy five meters of real good, everyone will be rich!"
"I think the Liu family is almost a household worth ten thousand yuan now...!"
In short, Liu Lang's clothes made many neighbors covetous. They also wanted to buy them, but they couldn't because they were all sold out in just three days. Liu Lang's mother was able to buy them because of her friend
My relative worked in a department store, and he left some for her just to please her, otherwise they would have been sold out long ago.
However, many of those who secretly skipped work and went to department stores to buy fabrics had their bonuses deducted by the factory because they were late and left early, but it was worth it.
"Chen Liang", which is popular all over the country, came to Fucheng, and the people of Fucheng had a great time. The first batch of goods was sold out within three days, but half a month later, the second batch of goods appeared in department stores.
Stores, and after they were sold out again, there were still a third and fourth batch. By the Spring Festival of 1982, the popularity brought by "Que Liang" had subsided, because more than 30% of the pedestrians on the street were wearing these.
Clothes made of fabric are no longer a scarce product.
Just after the Spring Festival of 1982, a type of clothing called "flared pants" appeared on the market. As the name suggests, the legs of these pants are shaped like trumpets, although many people have not seen the true meaning of "flared pants".
However, various legends have been circulated in private.
"Daughter-in-law, I heard that Li Er said that one of his relatives from a city leader's family owns a pair of bell-bottom pants, which are very comfortable to wear. You can go to the department store over the weekend and have a look. If there is anything available, buy a pair."
Liu Donglai said to his wife.
"Sister Wang from my work unit has gone, but there is no one at all. She even told me to talk to the provincial leaders to see if I can get a pair of pants."
Liu Lang's mother shook her head and said.
"You can't go to Mr. Xiao for this matter."
Liu Lang's father quickly answered.
"I'm so stupid! Buy a pair of pants and go find such a big leader."
The other party rolled his eyes.
"What do bell-bottom pants look like? I heard they said that these kind of pants are very popular in the South now, and many people are envious of them when they wear them."
Liu Lang's parents had only heard about this kind of pants.
"Bell-bottom pants are nothing!"
Liu Lang, who was sitting on the kang and reading a Russian book, thought to himself.
However, in this era, such bell-bottom pants are really fashionable. If someone wears them and walks on the street, it will definitely cause as much sensation as running naked.
"Bell-bottom trousers and toad glasses, sheepshear hat with big hair!"
This is synonymous with fashion in the early 1980s. Bell-bottom pants and toad glasses are fashionable summer outfits. Shearling hats and large woolen scarves are the pioneers of winter trends. If anyone wears these four types of clothing, I am afraid they will be ignored.
Worship like an idol.
In a year or two, bodybuilding pants and leather jackets will also become popular. Wearing them while walking on the street will definitely be comparable to Liu Lang's previous model at Milan Fashion Week.
Obviously, the appearance of bell-bottom pants in Fucheng means that the spring breeze of reform and opening up has arrived in remote towns like the north. However, Liu Lang believes that the entry of this kind of clothing into Fucheng is definitely not caused by the local government, but probably by those southerners.
People, more than ten years later, books collectively referred to these people as "Dao Ye", which means that "Dao Ye" came to Fucheng.
A few days later, my second uncle walked into the house triumphantly wearing a pair of bell-bottom pants.
"Brother and sister-in-law, what do you think of my bell-bottom pants?"
The second uncle shouted loudly as he entered the room, and behind him were the third uncle and the old uncle, as well as two young men of eighteen or nineteen years old, with jealousy almost burning in their eyes.
"Dongxue, are these bell bottoms?"
Liu Lang's father asked and touched it with his hand.
"Stop touching me!"
Liu Lang's second uncle twisted to avoid his elder brother's hand, and then carefully dusted it with his hand, as if there was really dust stuck to it.
"There's no way it's fake! I bought this pair of pants for ten yuan, and I didn't even use the cloth ticket. They look good!"
Liu Lang's second uncle said proudly.
"Boy, where did you buy it from? They're not sold in department stores!"
Liu Lang's mother asked quickly.
"I'm telling you...go and go, what are you guys doing with you? You can all go away!"
Liu Lang's second uncle shouted loudly at the two young men behind him. They were startled, but they still didn't leave.
"Second brother, we want to buy it too, just tell us. Don't worry, we will never tell others!"
One person said as if begging for mercy.
"Well, that's fine, then don't tell others!"
The other party's attitude made Liu Lang's second uncle very proud.
"I bought them from Majiapu. There were a few southerners there who were buying them secretly. They cost ten yuan a pair. Not only did they have pants, they also had something called a tape. They said they could sing when put into the radio.
, I spent another five yuan to buy a tape, but we don’t have that kind of radio at home.”
Liu Lang's second uncle took out a tape from his trouser pocket. As soon as the tape came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
I saw a photo of a woman on the cover, a very beautiful woman. The men present were drooling when they saw it. Not only the men, but also Liu Lang's mother's eyes were opened.
"This is...Teng Lijun?"
Well, Liu Lang also knows about this Deng Lijun. Of course, how many people in the whole country don’t know about this female singer?
This female singer from Wanwan sings a song that can raise people's blood sugar, so she is also called the Queen of Sweet Songs by future generations. She is definitely the idol of Liu Lang's parents.
Not to mention listening to one of her songs, you see, just seeing each other's photos took away the souls of these people.
"Tape, Dongxue, please leave the tape here for now. I will buy a radio that can play her in a few days, and I will let you come over and listen to it."
Liu Lang's father said immediately.
"That's not okay!"
Liu Lang's second uncle became a little anxious when he heard this.
At this moment, Grandpa Liu Lang's roar came from the door.
"Boy, you little brat, you spent more than ten yuan on a pair of tattered trousers, and you will see if I don't kill you!"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Lang's grandfather rushed in with a fire hook in his hand, and he couldn't help but greet the other party.
"Dad, these are bell-bottom pants, bell-bottom pants!"
Liu Lang's second uncle ran around and shouted loudly, hiding and protecting his pants at the same time. He could hit me, but not if he soiled my pants.
"Give it to me!"
Liu Lang's father immediately snatched the tape from the other person's hand and quickly put it into his pocket.
"Dad, dad, stop fighting, stop fighting!"
Liu Lang's mother hurriedly stopped the angry father, and Liu Lang's second uncle took the opportunity to run out, and the rest of the people dispersed.
"This little brat, I really can't control him. He only costs more than ten yuan! I spent all the damn money on him. Why don't I kill him?"
Liu Lang's second uncle is not married yet, and all his monthly income must be given to his father. Moreover, he is only a first-level worker now, and his monthly salary is only twenty yuan. He spends half a month's salary to buy
A pair of pants, for Liu Lang's grandfather, that was a typical prodigal behavior, and of course he had to be taught a lesson.
"Dad, my second child has grown up. Besides, aren't these bell-bottom pants fashionable? I bought them anyway, so I can't return them!"
Liu Lang's father came to the rescue for his younger brother.
"For more than ten yuan, just buy me a pair of tattered trousers. It's such a waste!"
Anyway, the money had been spent, and Liu Lang's grandfather had no choice but to go back after being persuaded by his eldest son for a while. However, Liu Lang's second uncle would definitely be scolded.
It was no secret that his second uncle bought bell-bottom trousers from Majiapu. Just half a month later, Liu Lang saw someone wearing trousers on the road in front of his house and speeding past in a car. The pedestrians around him were indeed
Everyone stopped to give him a "pay attention" salute. This man raised his chest and raised his head, with his chin raised to the sky, looking like he was the only one in the world.
