Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 12 Sister, listen to my advice!

In the department store, people come and go.

But most people just watch and don't buy.

With more than 20 yuan in his pocket, Li Weidong thought he had a big pocket, so he confidently browsed the products on the counter.

In fact, the types of goods in this era are really limited, nothing more than looking fresh.

And most of them are daily necessities.

Until he came to the bargaining counter.

After all, there are the most people watching here.

At this time, there were two blond foreigners standing in front of the counter, chatting something.

For ordinary citizens, this is definitely a diorama.

In his previous life, Li Weidong's English has reached the level of being able to talk to foreigners. Of course, some gestures are indispensable.

Listening to the conversation between two foreigners, he seemed to be complaining that there are too few types of goods here, and the advantage is that they are cheap.

Li Weidong pretended not to hear this.

His current identity is an ordinary young man who just came to the city from the countryside. Note: Graduated from middle school!

It is normal not to understand foreign languages.

However, when Li Weidong saw the prices of the commodities on the counter, he took a deep breath.

This is also called cheap?

He understands the bargaining counter.

It is specially set up for foreign guests and foreigners, and there is no need for a ticket.

But what the hell is 16 yuan for a bottle of Moutai?

Didn't it mean that a bottle of Moutai in this era is two or three yuan?

And that chocolate candy, five yuan for a small box?
Who can afford this?

In fact, Li Weidong didn't know that this price was normal.

Because in the first half of the year, the higher-ups implemented a high-price strategy for some commodities.

These include tea, bicycles, wine, watches, sugar, etc.

Last year, a bicycle was 160 yuan, but this year it has risen to 650 yuan, which is jaw-dropping.

It is said that no matter how much money you have these days, it is useless. Now, Li Weidong has deep doubts about this.

In fact, it is not only department stores that have bargaining counters without tickets, but some high-end restaurants also adopt this strategy.

If you have the money to go to the restaurant every day, even if you don’t have a ticket, so what?

Of course, these high-priced goods are mainly aimed at wealthy foreign guests and so-called capitalists.

Li Weidong remembered that Xu Damao's wife, Lou Xiao'e's family, who lived in the backyard, was a standard capitalist.

Even if the ingredients are not good in the eyes of many people, it is still not suffering. If nothing else, you must not worry about eating and drinking.

And for ninety-nine percent of people, it is difficult to move without a ticket.

Li Weidong saw that Yang Fangfang's eyes were full of longing, but he didn't express anything.

The first is poverty and no money.

Second, she is not my wife, why should I get used to it?

So, after inquiring about where there is furniture with the big sister of the salesperson, I went straight to it.

Compared with the department store counter, the furniture side is obviously much deserted, and it is still in the backyard.

In the huge warehouse, few people could be seen.

Because it was a bit cold inside, the two older sisters sat at the door, knitting sweaters and chatting.

For the customers who come, they also love to ignore them.

"Comrade, I want to buy a bed and a recliner." Li Weidong couldn't help but said.

One of the younger ones raised his head and looked at Li Weidong and Yang Fangfang, thinking they were young people who were about to get married.

After all, this meeting is not a marriage, and few people come to buy a bed.

A bed can basically last a lifetime.

In the 50s, couples paid attention to the four one projects when they got married.

A bed, a basin, a spittoon, and a kettle.

Although it is the 60s now, we have just survived the difficult period, and no one's family is rich.

Like the 36 legs, it basically became popular in the middle and late 60s.

"Old one!" Li Weidong said again before the other party could speak.

On the way here, he heard from Yang Fangfang that only new furniture needs a furniture ticket, and old ones don't.

The so-called old furniture is actually an antique.

But now it is not popular to call it an antique, and it is easy to make mistakes.

In fact, when people in the city get married, they will find a way to get a few furniture tickets, and no one likes to use old ones.

On the contrary, Li Weidong didn't care about this at all.

The big deal is to buy it back and brush it inside and out, is it still the same as the new one?
Violence, what is that?
In his previous life, it may be because he had no money, he was not interested in those antiques, collections and the like.

I never planned to develop this hobby in my life.

If there is a chance in the future, you can plant some red sandalwood and yellow pear trees in the game farm. After they are mature, find someone to make a batch of furniture and give the old lady a new recliner.

As for the moment, let's make do with it.

Hearing Li Weidong's words, even the older woman looked up.

Contempt was written all over her face.

Getting married and buying old furniture?

Such a beautiful girl is really blind.

"The old furniture is at the far end, there are people over there."

The younger elder sister pointed inward with her hand, and stopped talking to him.

Seeing this, Li Weidong was not annoyed either.

This is the norm for service workers these days.

Everyone is gay, and there is no distinction between high and low occupations. Even a job like theirs is envied by many people.

"I'll go over and have a look, you don't need to accompany me, just go shopping by yourself."

Li Weidong didn't pull Yang Fangfang any more.

After he left, the older woman couldn't help but speak.

"Sister, listen to my sister's persuasion. This person is not a decent person who can live a life. Marriage is a lifelong event. Even if you sell everything, you have to take care of your property. How can there be any reason to buy old furniture?"

"These old furniture don't know how many years old, who knows who slept on it?"

Yang Fangfang blushed immediately when she heard the other party's words.

"Same, comrade, you misunderstood, that's not my partner, I'm already married."

Now, even the younger elder sister looked at her strangely.

Married and accompany other men to buy furniture?
And judging by the attitude of the two of them getting along, it is obvious that they are not siblings.

Immediately, the two ignited a raging fire of gossip.

"That was my husband's younger brother just now. He just came to the city and was not familiar with the way, so I brought him here."

Yang Fangfang saw that the expressions of the two became more and more wrong, so she hurriedly explained.

The young eldest sister is skeptical.

As for the older woman, I have already seen through it, and you can't even try to fool me.

After speaking, Yang Fangfang didn't dare to stay any longer, and left in a hurry.

It's just that the back looks somewhat embarrassed.

The two waiters approached at the same time and began to speak in a low voice.

On the other side, when Li Weidong came to the innermost part of the warehouse, he saw a little old man sitting on a recliner, humming a little song, tapping the armrest with his fingers, leisurely.

Behind him is a pile of messy furniture, which can be described as varied and has everything.

And judging by the thickness of the dust that fell on it, it was obvious that no one had patronized it for a while.

"Is there a better bed here?" Li Weidong asked.

When the little old man heard the sound, he opened his eyes and looked up and down.
