Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 169 The weird salesperson in the department store

Regarding Li Xiuzhu's reminder, Yan Bugui said indifferently: "Hey, why are you collecting grain? Isn't it delicious to eat new grain?"

"Furthermore, the price of food stamps and fine grains has risen to 40 cents per pound. With this money, we might as well just endure it and get through it."

"When it rains in the second half of the year, that is, in another half a year, this food will be enough."

"You see, it's getting cloudy today. It's only been raining for the past two days."

"Although the first half of the year may be difficult, it will be fine once the food harvest is completed in the second half of the year."

"In the past six months, just eat coarse grains first. Our family doesn't have such refined grains."

Li Xiuzhu looked at Yan Bugui's confident look and his mouth moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything else.

A little reminder is already the best thing to do, but if you say too much, it will be inappropriate, and you may even be jealous.

"That's fine, you can come as you see fit, but first, please don't come to my house to borrow food if you run out of food."

"Our family is big, and the food we collect is just enough to eat. I have to think about my younger siblings and children."

Yan Bugui didn't care. Even if there was no food to cook, he would just spend some money to buy some food stamps. Fine grains were 40 cents per catty, but coarse grains were only 2 cents. His family could afford it.

"Brother Li is waiting for me here."

"Don't worry, I still have money if I can't survive. If I'm hungry, I won't borrow it from you."

Li Xiuzhu sighed in his heart, this child still didn't understand what he meant and was hopeless.

But I won't starve to death. Money can make all the difference, and I can actually buy food, but it's a bit expensive.

Li Xiuzhu was free and rode his bicycle to the front door.

I haven’t ridden a bicycle for a long time. I only ride it when the weather is not too cold, and occasionally go fishing with Yanbu Guidiao.

Needless to say, I am still a little uncomfortable riding this sudden ride.

When he arrived at the front door, Li Xiuzhu locked his bicycle in the silk shop and heard Chen Xueru's voice.

"Hey, why did the master think of coming to my place today?"

"Is this here to pick me up?"

As she spoke, Chen Xueru walked out, looked around and said, "This is the wrong time. Are you here to find someone?"

One look at Chen Xueru's foxy smile and Li Xiuzhu knew that Chen Xueru had a wrong idea. He probably thought he was here to find Xu Huizhen.

"Oh, our Xueru is so brave. She dares to tease your man. Does she think her physical strength is getting better recently?"

The smile on Chen Xueru's face suddenly softened, and she said with a smile: "Isn't this a little angry?"

"You see, I don't even have time to go shopping. I'm trapped in this three-quarter acre of land, and my man can still go and please other women. Let me say a few words."

Li Xiuzhu said funny: "I'm not looking for Huizhen to go shopping. If you are free, let's go shopping together."

Chen Xueru's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.

"I have time for this. Not many people have enough to eat these days. How can anyone buy silk or clothes?"

"I'm missing a lot in the store."

What Chen Xueru said was false. She originally sold mainly Su brocade and silk. She also sold Soviet large-scale fabrics and so on, but they were not the main products, so she had many high-end customers.

While others don't have enough to eat or money, none of her old customers can go hungry.

"Okay, then you tell the store and let's go shopping."

"it is good!"

Chen Xueru turned around and went into the store, and came out within a minute, with a smile on her face and she was very happy.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Look how beautiful you are."

Chen Xueru did not deny it, and admitted with a smile: "That's right, my husband is accompanying me, and that's not beautiful."

Chen Xueru has been to Hong Kong Island and likes this name very much. Now most of the women in the family also call it this.

"Where does my husband want to go?"

Li Xiuzhu said: "Walking around is just leisurely, but now the Zhengyang Gate is even more depressed than when I first came here."

Chen Xueru nodded and said: "No, the passenger flow is less than half of previous years. Even compared to 1949, it is still 30% less."

Then he raised his chin and gestured to the big house next to him and said, "Have you seen this big canteen? In the past, the workers and bosses who worked at the front door loved to come here to have a bite, but now they are all forced to close their doors."

"First, there are no tickets and there are fewer people to eat. Second, there is really no food."

"By the way, why don't we go shopping in the department store? It seems like you haven't been to the department store since it opened."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "I've definitely never been there. You know me. I don't like to hang out with a lot of people, and I'm also quite busy."

"How is it in there?"

Chen Xueru said: "It must be good. It's the first state-owned large store. If I hadn't been abroad and we also have a large store, I would definitely think this is the best."

The two chatted and walked into the department store. They looked similar to later generations, but not the same.

This store is made up of square grids, with a salesperson standing on one side, selling everything from bicycles and sewing machines to soaps and pens.

Often there is only one counter for the same type of items, and some that sell good ones may even have three or five counters.

At a glance, it looks complete.

"Husband, let's buy something too."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"That's fine. Look, you can buy whatever you want. I brought coupons, and I have everything."

The original industrial coupons can only buy some industrial products that are not specially classified, such as toilet soap, soap, radios, and sewing machines.

For particularly popular items such as watches and bicycles, watch coupons and bicycle coupons are issued separately. Of course, it is not just these two that have separate coupons.

The two of them walked to a counter selling cosmetics. Chen Xueru approached the front with interest and said, "Bring this cream for me to smell."

Hearing this, the salesperson in front of the counter was half-dead. He came up to her with a sullen expression and said, "This is a high-end product. If you open it, you can buy it."

"This is not cheap, it costs ten yuan and comes with an industrial coupon."

Even though the salesperson may have a bad look on his face, you still have to endure it. Most of today’s salespeople are basically like this. Whether you want to buy or not, they are paid dead wages, so they don’t need to give you a good look.

The most exaggerated thing is that if you dare to make trouble, the salesperson will dare to beat you.

When they first came in, there was a banner hanging in the lobby that read: Do not beat or scold customers without reason.

Do you know what it means? It means that I can beat you if I have reason. In the next few decades, the customer will be the God. In this era, the salesperson is comparable to the God of the customer.

I remember that there was a provincial No. 3 private interviewer who exposed his identity and was criticized. Just tell me whether you are afraid.

Chen Xueru didn't say anything, but took out her wallet with a smile on her face. When she opened the wallet, a wad of money almost blinded the little girl.

This is too much.

However, I was envious in my heart, but my face became more and more disdainful, and I looked down on these wealthy capitalists the most. Despite this, the salesperson still took out the cream.

After all, if someone has money and coupons, if you don’t sell, you’ve made a mistake.

Chen Xueru opened it and smelled it, frowned and said, "It smells really bad, the fragrance is so strong that it chokes my nose."

Hearing this, the salesperson said contemptuously: "This is the latest model of Shanghai brand cream. If you don't know the product, you don't know the product. It doesn't smell good, so you can smell it, right?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu frowned and was about to step forward when he was stopped by Chen Xueru.

She understands this man so well that something will happen today if he doesn't stop him.

Chen Xueru didn't refute, just plainly took out ten yuan and an industrial coupon, picked up the cream and looked around, then led Li Xiuzhu to a trash can and said: "This piece of shit can only be treated like this by a piece of shit." treasure."

Because it was a disaster year, many salespeople around were idle, eating melon seeds and watching the show.

In addition, Chen Xueru's voice was not low, which attracted everyone's attention.

Just when these people looked over, Chen Xueru dropped the cream in her hand into the trash can and said, "We don't have much money, but everyone has a bad temper. I don't know where the sense of superiority comes from."

This cream seemed to slap all of them in the face, and their faces turned green and red for a while.

The cream seller even gave up and rushed towards Chen Xueru to scratch her. But seeing this, Li Xiuzhu slapped the woman in the face and then kicked her out.

The woman who was so fierce just now flew three meters away and collapsed on the ground.

The salesmen who also wanted to help stopped one by one.

Li Xiuzhu said: "I advise you all to be honest. Even if you are a woman, I will not hold back if you deserve to be beaten."

Just as Li Xiuzhu was about to take Chen Xueru away, Chen Xueru took out three big black ten cards and threw them on the ground and said: "This is the medical fee. Just now you were the first to ridicule me and hit me first. Even if you make excuses, who can you talk to?" We are not afraid."

"As a person from now on, please be more restrained."

After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she took Li Xiuzhu and walked out. For a moment, the salesmen didn't know whether they should stop her, but at this moment, the security team patrolling the mall arrived.

When he saw the woman lying on the ground beside him, he immediately frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Immediately, these salesmen became excited.

"The two people who were stopped were the ones they beat."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu and the two stopped and scanned the people around them. The salespersons were immediately frightened.

However, there were still a few bold ones who shouted: "Look at what you are doing. Brother, the security guard is the one they are beating. Take them away quickly."

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "She hit us first, and we were forced to fight back. Moreover, we paid for the medical expenses."

"If you think it's not possible, then call the police and call a few reporters. I want to see if this chaos of beating and scolding customers for no reason can be resolved."

Hearing this, the people from the security team looked around and asked, "Who made the move first."

"It's them."

Before Li Xiuzhu and Li Xiuzhu could speak, a customer said, "They lied, but I saw that this woman did it first."

Chen Xueru also smiled and said: "We beat her, how could she be outside the counter, what do you think about the security brother?"

Chen Xueru's words "big brother" immediately made the guard fall in love.

"Okay, please leave a message so that we can find you later. If anything happens, we will come back to you."

Although there is no ID card, everyone has a small red book issued by the street to prove their identity.

If you are traveling far away, you will need a letter of introduction.

Chen Xueru took out her little red book and said, "I am Chen Xueru, the private manager of Qianmen Silk Shop, and this is my man."

The guard was startled when he heard this, and the salesmen around him were also startled.

Although they were indeed considered capitalists before, now they are also part of the gay community.

The security team members recorded Chen Xueru's information and then let the two go.

Li Xiuzhu didn't speak much throughout the whole process, and mainly wanted to be a companion.

Sometimes women are much better at reasoning than men. If you are a woman, especially a beautiful woman, basically a man will give you two or three points.

Of course, this is just basic. Some people may want to take advantage of this opportunity to threaten or take advantage.

After something like this happened, the two of them were not in the mood to go shopping anymore.

After leaving the department store, Li Xiuzhu said: "Our domestic service standards are getting worse and worse."

"If you don't say smile, at least you shouldn't be sarcastic."

"That is to say, everything is now in public ownership. Otherwise, with such a service attitude, as long as there is a private store, the corresponding public store will close down sooner or later."

Chen Xueru nodded and responded with a smile: "Now I understand why you said that in 80 years it will be the spring of businessmen."

"The public-private partnership is coming to an end soon. When all department stores are publicly owned, if all department stores operate like this, everyone will know what to choose."

“In my opinion, unless public ownership remains, public enterprises will fail.”

"But this is good. It will be easier for us to take back the property in the future."

There is a loss-making industry and a profitable industry. Everyone knows that the profitable industry sells more expensively.

After sending Chen Xueru back to the silk shop, Chen Xueru smiled and said to Li Xiuzhu: "Okay, seeing how angry you are, go to Huizhen's to relieve the anger."

Li Xiuzhu was speechless, but he hadn't visited Xu Huizhen in a few days, so he nodded.

Li Xiuzhu did not go to the tavern, but went directly to Xu Huizhen's. After Li Xiuzhu entered, he heard Xu Huizhen lecturing Xu Jingli poetry.

Maybe it was the sound of Li Xiuzhu coming in, but Xu Huizhen didn't hear it. It wasn't until he pushed open the door that the two of them turned around and looked over.

The moment she saw Li Xiuzhu, Xu Huizhen showed joy when Xu Jingli rushed over.

"Uncle Li, you are here."

Li Xiuzhu hugged Xu Jingli and said with a smile: "Little sticky bun, do you miss your uncle?"

Xu Jingli nodded quickly and said, "Well, not only I have thought about it, but my mother has also thought about it."

Xu Huizhen paused as she walked over, scratched Xu Jingli in a funny way and said, "Just laugh at Mom, but you can't say this in front of outsiders."

Xu Jingli nodded like a brat and said: "I know, my mother doesn't want Uncle Li outside, but Jingli wants it."

"So I miss Uncle Li so much."

Xu Huizhen always felt that something was wrong when she heard this, but she didn't know what was wrong.

"Jingli said it well, this is for Jingli."

Li Xiuzhu said, took out a lollipop and said: "Remember to brush your teeth after eating."

When Xu Jingli saw it was a lollipop, her eyes lit up and she said, "Uncle Li, can you give me two more lollipops?"
