Chapter 165 Buying a watch and a wall clock

"Sister, this is for a bicycle ticket. Can you weigh it?"

Chu Tian handed the two bags in his hand to the saleswoman first.

The saleswoman had already prepared a scale. She opened the two bags and took a look. She was very satisfied with the things she had exchanged. She weighed them again and found that they were nearly eleven pounds, which made her even more satisfied.

"Yes, the scales are full!"

"certainly!"

As he spoke, he handed the remaining bag in his hand to the saleswoman and said, "This is the reward I promised you. Can you take a look?"

The saleswoman took it and looked at it. Her eyes lit up instantly, but she said, "Oh, how can I be so embarrassed? I just said it casually..."

Before Chu Tian went to get the things, she didn't mention the reward, but wanted to ask if he had brought the reward he promised her, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

Just when they were weighing the weight, she wanted to ask, but she never found the chance. She thought Chu Tian had forgotten about the reward, but she didn't expect that he hadn't forgotten about it!

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Big sister, isn't this what we agreed on back then? I still want to get along with you in the future, how can I just leave it as it is?"

The saleswoman smiled happily, took out a bicycle ticket from her pocket and handed it to Chu Tian, ​​"Hey, hey, if you want to buy anything in the future, just come to me, I will definitely help you if I can!"

It’s not free help anyway. If she can get something good every time she helps, why not do it?

Chu Tian took the bicycle ticket, glanced at it, confirmed it was correct, and put it in his arms.

"Sister, I'd like to know how to buy a watch nowadays? I got a watch ticket a while ago and have always wanted to buy it but never had the chance."

In fact, there are watches for sale in the supply and marketing cooperative of the regiment, but they have not arrived since the New Year. So after I spent 20 yuan to buy the ticket from Li Gang after the New Year, I haven't been able to buy a watch.

The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, then said, "Brother, do you want to buy a watch?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Yeah."

The saleswoman smiled and said, "You're in luck. Our supply and marketing cooperative just got a batch of Shanghai brand watches a few days ago. There aren't many, only ten. You can go and take a look."

As she spoke, she pointed to the counter opposite. She walked over from the inside of the counter, while Chu Tian walked over from the outside.

"Xiao Qi, come and tell my brother about watches."

The saleswoman pushed the dozing young man named Xiao Qi.

The young man was shaken awake by the saleswoman. He rubbed his eyes, stood up, glanced at Chu Tian and asked, "Sister Huang, is this your relative?"

The saleswoman, who was called Sister Huang, nodded and said, "Yes, this is my cousin, my brother. Xiao Qi, please help me introduce him to my brother. I don't know much about watches..."

The young man nodded slightly and looked at Chu Tian, ​​"Which brand of watch do you want?"

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking, how could he know what brands of watches were available in this era? He could only ask tentatively, "Is there a big difference?"

The young man took out four watches and placed them on the counter. "Actually, in my opinion, there's really no difference. They all tell time. It's just that some people pursue watches from big manufacturers. For example, the best-selling one is Shanghai, followed by Plum Blossom, and then Beijing and Tianjin Seagull..."

Chu Tian pointed at a Shanghai watch and asked, "How much does a Shanghai watch cost?"

Although he didn't know much about watches, he had heard or seen many people of the older generation say that at that time, whoever wore a Shanghai watch and rode a Phoenix bicycle would be the most popular guy on the street and would have the easiest time finding a wife.

"Are you sure?"

The young man looked at Chu Tian in surprise. He thought Chu Tian would choose a Beijing or Tianjin Seagull brand watch, because everyone knew that the Shanghai brand was not cheap. One hundred and twenty yuan was several months' salary for an ordinary worker, while the Beijing and Tianjin Seagull brands were much cheaper.

Sister Huang pushed the young man and said, "If my brother says to buy it, I will definitely buy it..."

As he spoke, he saw someone leaving the counter opposite, so he nodded at Chu Tian and hurried back.

Chu Tian laughed. He knew the man in front of him was worried that he couldn't afford it. "I'm sure if you want to buy it, buy a better one. After all, you won't use it for just one or two days."

The young man nodded. "Yeah, that's true. If you have enough money, I also recommend buying the Shanghai brand..."

"Shanghai and Plum Blossom brands are the same price, both men's and women's watches are 120. Beijing is 95, and Tianjin Seagull is 80."

(I only looked up the price of Shanghai brand, the others are just guesses, if I’m wrong, please leave a message and I’ll correct it.)

Chu Tian nodded, took out a watch ticket and 120 yuan from his pocket and handed them to the young man, "I want a Shanghai brand men's watch."

It’s not that Chu Tian is stingy and doesn’t want to buy one for Yao Xiujuan, but he will be busier and busier in the future, and it will be much more convenient to have a watch on his wrist. When he buys a watch ticket in the future, he will buy one for Yao Xiujuan!

The man took the money and saw that the amount was correct. He quickly put the watch on the counter back into the counter and took out a brand new watch from under the counter and handed it to Chu Tian. "I adjusted the time on the watch when it arrived. Check it yourself. If it's not correct, adjust it now."

Chu Tian took the watch, looked at the time on the watch and then looked at the wall clock on the shelf in the counter. Seeing that the time was correct, he put it directly on his wrist. Well, the size was just right. Chu Tian expressed his satisfaction.

"By the way, comrade, if I want to buy that kind of wall clock, do I also need a watch ticket?"

The young man glanced back and held out his hand to bring both to Chu Tian. "No need. We have Double Happiness and Gold Cup brands. The Double Happiness ones are 25 yuan each, and the Gold Cup ones are 28 yuan each."

"Look, which one do you want?"

Chu Tian lowered his head and studied it for a long time, but he didn't find any difference. He asked curiously, "What is the difference between these two?"

The young man grinned and said, "You are a relative of Sister Huang, so let me be frank. There is actually no difference. It's just a different factory and different pricing. In fact, the quality is the same. I use Double Happiness at home!"

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, "Okay, then I'll have double happiness!"

Seeing that Chu Tian and his colleague Sister Huang were relatives, the young man generously put the wall clock in a bag before handing it to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian accepted it and thanked her, then walked back to Sister Huang's counter and greeted her busy face, "Sister Huang, I'll be leaving first..."

Even in the midst of her busy schedule, Sister Huang turned around and called out, "Hey, big brother, come and see me next time."

"good."
