Yongfang Pearl Cream was a very expensive concealer in that era. It made the face look particularly white when applied. It cost dozens of yuan a bottle in the county department store, which was equivalent to the level of LM in later generations.
Agarwood powder is a loose powder that ordinary people only use when they get married.
Not to mention the Astragalus paste, which contains 30% Astragalus. People in later generations looked down upon it, but in the 1980s, most people really couldn't afford it.
"They were all given to me by others. My mother said they were good, so I took a few bottles." Yang Xiao said casually.
"It's really a useful thing, but I can't accept it. My husband will be jealous if he finds out."
Yang Xiao felt helpless: "Why does he get jealous when I give something to my sister?"
"This is normal. If any woman gives my husband something and he dares to accept it, I will break his hand." Xiangnan said confidently.
If a woman gave Huo De a tie, a belt, a watch, or something like that, and he dared to accept it, she would really break his hand.
"Okay, I just saw that my mom has so much, and I can't use it all anyway, so I'll bring you a few bottles."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "These are all good things. How about this: you sell them to me at a lower price and I'll give them to my customers."
"What kind of guest are you?"
Xiangnan sells cakes, bean curd sheets and the like, so why does he use these beauty products on his customers?
"My customer, have you forgotten that the conflict between Xie Dan and I was because I didn't have time to match clothes for her aunt?"
Yang Xiao remembered: "So you still sell clothes?"
"You could say it's actually image design. If your mom is free, you can bring her over and I'll design a set for her. It'll make her look ten years younger."
Yang Xiao smiled: "She might not feel anything if she is ten years younger, but if you help her find a good daughter-in-law, she will definitely be overjoyed."
"Why, with your conditions, you are worried about not being able to find a good daughter-in-law. She doesn't need to worry."
"It's hard to find a good daughter-in-law." Yang Xiao sighed, the good ones had already been booked.
"What kind do you like? I'll keep an eye out for you. Many of my current customers are probably people with stable jobs in the county, so they should be a good match for you."
"I don't have a specific favorite. I just like whoever I meet." Yang Xiao said casually.
"That's right, young man. Marry for love."
Nowadays, few people marry for love. Most people get married after a blind date and find they are suitable.
Yang Xiao smiled, but wanted to cry inside. What a bullshit love. His love died after he saw Xiangnan’s husband.
When we got to the city, Xiangnan naturally wanted to go shopping everywhere, especially the department store.
Xiangnan finally saw an air conditioner in the department store, but it was extremely expensive, and the oven was also expensive.
She really wants to buy an oven, which costs about one thousand yuan, about the same as a refrigerator.
With an oven, you can make a lot of things, such as cookies, roasted chicken legs, etc.
Let’s not even think about air conditioning for now. Xiangnan spent a huge sum of money, one thousand yuan, to buy an oven.
I also looked at some beautiful skirts in the clothing area, all of which were imported from Guangzhou, and some were from Shanghai.
Xiangnan bought twenty or thirty sets of houses each, and she bought all the ones she liked.
I also bought a set for Yang Xiao's mother. Yang Xiao helped her, so I have to thank him.
It’s not easy to give something to him, so just give it to his mother. He is giving her his mother’s things anyway.
According to Yang Xiao's description, he chose a cheongsam with very detailed design for his mother.
Then he went shopping and bought some food that was not available in the county for the three little ones.
"Are you here to purchase goods? Why are you buying so much?" Yang Xiao was a little surprised at Xiangnan's behavior of spending money without blinking an eye.
Which country girl would dare to be as extravagant as her? In her hands, money seems to be nothing.
Fortunately, I didn’t marry her. Who could afford to support her?
"Earn money and spend it. How can the country develop its economy without spending money? Invest actively, don't keep it in the bank.
If you deposit 1,000 yuan in the bank now, it will be worthless in a few years. Only investment can make money more valuable."
"Depositing money in the bank is a sure thing, but investing might lead to losses."
Xiangnan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your father is the county magistrate, and you are in charge of economics. Are you still afraid of losing money on your investment?
With that First Market you guys built, so many storefronts are still unsold. Wouldn't it be better for you to buy two than just throwing money into the bank?"
"So do you want to buy it? If you do, you can get the internal price." Yang Xiao smiled. Xiangnan was right. He was in charge of economics, but he himself didn't dare to invest, so how could he expect others to trust him.
"Your shop is not cheap."
"It's 121 square meters. The storefronts on the outside are large, and the smaller ones are about 20 square meters. But you can live in them after you buy them.
Some storefronts even have a second floor upstairs, where the whole family can enter. Those are more expensive.”
Xiangnan did some calculations and said, "I'd like to open a studio to design images for people. What's your internal price for a studio with a second floor?"
"Go buy it, and I'll ask them to give you a 50% discount, but don't tell anyone else."
Xiangnan chuckled: "Good brother! I'll buy two at a 50% discount."
Yang Xiao was surprised: "The one with the second floor is 40 to 50 square meters each. Buying two with a 50% discount would still cost 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. Do you have that much money?"
"Who am I looking down on? If I don't have money, I can take out a loan. I have to seize this investment that's sure to make money. If I could borrow that much money, I'd like to buy a few more."
"You seem to have great confidence in our first market."
"You have to have confidence. I spent 10,000 yuan to rent most of the storefront in the vegetable market."
Yang Xiao: “…”
"Most of the storefronts! Are you the one who rented out the storefronts in the vegetable market?"
"Yes, I fully support the market economy of our county. By the way, are you going to install that electric fan?" Xiangnan asked.
Without an electric fan, the weather is too hot and there won’t be many people in the vegetable market.
"The market has reported it, but our finances are a bit tight. We may not be able to install it until the tax revenue comes in this quarter."
"That will waste at least two months. The sooner the electric fans are installed, the sooner the market can get on track. I don't believe your county government doesn't even have the money to buy a batch of fans.
If there is a real need, the government can also provide loans.”
Yang Xiao frowned slightly: "Government loan? This is the first time I've heard of it."
“As far as I know, there is actually a lot of loans issued by the state, but few people are willing to take them out, so the county government can naturally lend as well.
We borrowed money to build roads. If we want to get rich, we must first build roads. If we want to develop the county economy, we must first build roads.
You see, the roads from our town to the county are still gravel roads. The gravels are hard to bite, so it is difficult to get things out of the countryside.
Isn't the country emphasizing the development of the rural economy now? You have to help us repair the road first."
Yang Xiao: “…”
"You mean we should ask the government to get a loan from the state, borrow it and then build the road?"
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Yes, what's the problem with that? After the rural economy and the market economy have developed, you are still worried about the government running out of money."
"This is the first time I've heard of a government borrowing money from the nation..."
This idea is really bold. Borrowing so much money to build roads?
It doesn't seem impossible, but what if I can't pay it back?
