Chapter 97 Buy Buy Buy
In fact, Li Jiasheng and Gao Ming also knew something about what happened between them. They also knew that Tan Chen did not like Su Qiaoli, and could even be said to hate her. It was not for anything else. He made it clear a long time ago that he did not like women like Su Qiaoli on the one hand, and on the other hand it was also because of Chen Xiangyang.
Now it seems that Tan Chen doesn't dislike Su Qiaoli, but rather hates her extremely.
Shang Ruoting now realized that there would be no excitement to watch today. It felt like she was being lifted up high and then gently put down.
However, if she were Tan Chen, she would have to give face to her old comrade when he pleaded for mercy. However, Su Qiaoli did not learn her lesson today. She hoped that she would have some self-awareness in the future and not make trouble again. Otherwise, she would not mind using more brutal means to deal with her.
Gao Ming saw that Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting looked unhappy and must have been still angry, so he quickly spoke to divert their attention: "Boss, we took a special leave to accompany you and sister-in-law for a walk."
Although Tan Chen was angry, he was not the kind of person who would vent his anger everywhere, especially when facing several good comrades who had been through life and death with him.
"It's rare that you're free today, let's go out for a walk together and catch up on old times."
Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng looked at Chen Xiangyang at the same time, wondering whether he would choose to stay with them or comfort Su Qiaoli.
Chen Xiangyang was also in a difficult situation at the moment, but in the end he chose to stay with Su Qiaoli, putting his love before his friendship.
Seeing this, Tan Chen didn't say much, and they walked to the bus stop together.
An hour later, the group arrived at ***.
Shang Ruoting was not unfamiliar with ***. The only difference was that the street in front was not as wide as that in the future. Another eye-catching thing was that there was an old man selling big radishes on the street in front of ***.
Fortunately, there were no such creatures as urban management in this era, so she could see such a different *** Square.
After a walk around, Tan Chen noticed that Shang Ruoting was not interested in the place, so he suggested taking her to visit the state-owned stores in Beijing.
Now, Shang Ruoting finally perked up. Shopping is one of her hobbies. Although the goods here are not as dazzling as those in later generations, she is still looking forward to it.
They walked all the way, passed the Hard Gate, and arrived not far away.
Gao Ming pointed to a three-story building in front of him that covered a large area and said, "We're here."
Shang Ruoting looked around and saw a huge plaque on the storefront with the words "Beijing's No. 1 State-Owned Store" written in large letters.
Seeing the target, her pace unconsciously quickened.
As a result, after entering the store, Shang Ruoting was somewhat disappointed. Although this could be said to be the place with the most complete range of goods in this era, she did not have much desire to buy those things that were not advanced and looked old.
There was no way, since she had come here, she had to follow the local customs.
Tan Chen seemed very happy. The unhappiness caused by Su Qiaoli had almost disappeared.
"Ruoting, let's go take a look at watches first." After saying that, he took Shang Ruoting's hand and walked towards the watch counter on the first floor.
The watches at that time were of very limited styles, and brands like Rolex, Omega, and Longines were not available here.
The watches displayed on the counter are basically the same in appearance. The biggest difference is that men's watches are larger and women's watches are smaller. Moreover, people here call watches with smaller dials "Kun watches".
Shang Ruoting now wants to buy a watch so that she can tell time conveniently. Since the styles of watches are so limited, she has no motivation to choose one.
Finally, at the recommendation of the salesperson, she and Tan Chen each bought a Seagull watch.
The men's version is 120 yuan and the women's version is 100 yuan.
Shang Ruoting now finally understood why there were so few people wearing watches on the street. At this price, it was really not easy for the working class to buy a watch, and it was even more difficult for them, the country people.
Fortunately, she sold her stamps and ginseng for a lot of money, otherwise, looking at the subsidies from Tan Chen, she would really be reluctant to buy them.
After Tan Chen paid the bill, the salesperson asked someone to adjust the watch straps to the appropriate size for both of them, and they put the watches directly on their wrists.
Shang Ruoting looked at the watch on her wrist, which needed to be wound every day or two, and felt that it was quite good. After all, it was the first big item she had bought since coming to this strange world.
Several people continued to stroll in the store with great interest, and Shang Ruoting also started shopping mode.
Including Old Mrs. Shang, we bought a lot of underwear, outerwear, shoes, socks and other items for the three people in the family.
Fortunately, she brought Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng with her, otherwise, it would be difficult for her and Tan Chen to carry it alone.
In addition to these, the two also bought a lot of preserved fruits and cakes that are special products of Beijing.
When Tan Chen saw that they had almost finished buying things, he mysteriously took Shang Ruoting to the electrical appliance counter.
Speaking of electrical appliances, the most common one is the semiconductor radio.
Tan Chen walked to the front of the counter and pointed at a small radio with a handle and asked, "Comrade, I want to buy the Peony brand radio with a handle."
