Li Qinghe's space is a little bigger than yesterday. This space does not become bigger when it is upgraded, but grows in real time with the absorption of emotions.
"I don't know how to divide this level, so let's just say doubling the area is considered level one."
Shaking his head, Li Qinghe walked quickly towards the supply and marketing cooperative. He could no longer stand the tattered clothes on his body. After all, he was a famous figure in the fighting world in his previous life, so how could he have worn such clothes? Not only were they patched, but they were also not very warm. The cotton inside was probably several years old, and if he didn't take it out and re-stuff it, it would not keep him warm at all.
Halfway through the walk, Li Qinghe saw a clothing store on the side of the road and turned around and walked inside. Since he could buy things here, he didn't need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
It just so happened that all my belongings were in the space. My father's pension was nearly 500 yuan. My original body spent a little more this year, so I still have more than 400 yuan. In addition, I have never bought new clothes, so I have some cloth coupons. I am not as stingy as my original body. Now that I have a space, am I still worried about not having money to spend?
I would go to the Pigeon Market at night. As far as I remember, the market would open at around 10 o'clock, right near Deshengmen, and would last until 3 o'clock in the morning. You didn't need a ticket there, you could buy things with just money. Of course, if you had a ticket it would be cheaper. There were also ticket scalpers who could sell all kinds of tickets, sometimes even tickets for big items like bicycles and radios.
Nowadays, there are a lot of people who have money but no tickets or those who have tickets but no money. They always have to find ways to survive. There are also the Eight Banners descendants and the old men of the previous dynasty. They are the examples of having money but no tickets. Therefore, the black market was born. Originally, this black market was a place where some rich kids played with birds, but later they could no longer play with them, so it was changed into a private trading place, and it was called the pigeon market, and gradually it became known as that.
Speaking of it, the Pigeon City is quite safe, because the police and those wearing red armbands have a hard life these days. They all have families to support and need to eat. They look impressive, but in fact their wages are no different from those of ordinary workers. In his original memory, he had met policemen with red armbands when he went to the Pigeon City before. They were just like ordinary people, taking off their uniforms and armbands, and holding flashlights to ask prices in a low voice.
Entering the clothing store, he saw a graceful woman sitting inside. The first time Li Qinghe saw her, he felt that this woman's style was different from others.
People of this era all dressed simply, but this woman had a trendy hairstyle, fair skin, and exquisite and beautiful clothes, which made him unable to help but take a few more glances.
"Comrade, what do you need?"
A girl in her twenties came forward to greet Li Qinghe, while the woman sat aside without moving.
Li Qinghe smiled and said, "Comrade, I want to buy a few cotton jackets."
Then he walked to the clothes rack nearby.
"Take this one, and this one, and this one too." Li Qinghe pointed at several cotton jackets.
The girl did not take the clothes off, but began to count the money, "These pieces add up to a total of twenty-three yuan, and there are thirty feet of cloth coupons."
Li Qinghe didn't care about the girl's attitude. That was how it was in this era. He directly took out the money from his pocket, counted out enough money and bills and handed them over. This time his cloth coupons were emptied. "Can I try it?"
After receiving the money, the girl nodded immediately and said, "Sure. This way, please."
Li Qinghe entered the fitting room holding a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers, while the woman working nearby looked at him. Not many people could afford to spend so much money on clothes for the first time these days. Most people would buy cloth and have their wives make them, or pay a labor fee to have others make them. Many unemployed women also used this to earn some money to supplement their family income.
When she saw Li Qinghe, who was dressed in tattered clothes, she muttered to herself, it seems that he must have made a fortune suddenly.
Then stopped paying attention.
Li Qinghe took off his worn cotton coat, put on new clothes, lifted his arms and legs, and nodded with satisfaction. It fit him well.
that is......
Li Qinghe touched his head with a subtle expression on his face. It had been a long time since he had felt the feeling of having long hair. In his previous life, he went to the mountains to learn skills at the age of eleven, and he had mastered the flattery skills to perfection at the age of thirteen. He had been bald for more than ten years, and suddenly he grew long hair. Even after adapting for a few days, he was still a little uncomfortable.
He pulled open the curtain and walked out. The woman sitting next to him couldn't help but turn her head and look over. This made her eyes light up.
Li Qinghe looked more energetic in new clothes, and his sturdy physique added a lot of points.
"Comrade, how do you feel about this dress? Does it fit you well?" The woman walked over with a smile on her face.
Li Qinghe glanced at the woman, and a sense of charm came over him. The heavy winter clothes could not completely hide her figure, but he did not look at her for long. He patted his cotton coat and said with satisfaction: "The size is right, not bad."
"That's good. May I know your name, comrade?"
"Hey, what's the big deal? My name is Li Qinghe, Muzi Li, the Qinghe in the clear river."
The woman stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "My name is Chen Xueru"
Li Qinghe shook her hand gently and then let go, without any intention of taking advantage. He asked with some trepidation, "Um, do you know someone named Xu Huizhen?"
"Xu Huizhen? Who is she? I've never heard of her."
“Huh~”
"I haven't heard of it, so forget it. Maybe I made a mistake."
Li Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief. He was startled by the name Chen Xueru. Fortunately, it was just a coincidence. He thought this world was a fusion of Siheyuan and Zhengyangmen.
"By the way, isn't this a public-private partnership now? Why can't I see the public manager?" Li Qinghe looked around and asked curiously.
Chen Xueru smiled and complained, "Look at him, he has nothing to do all day, and I don't know where he is strolling now."
In fact, she was very happy in her heart. People who do business are afraid of being given blind orders by someone who is not knowledgeable about the business. Not only can he not help, but he will also be a hindrance. The current manager Gong Fang is self-aware and knows that she is not cut out for business. She simply puts her name on the store and leaves it to her to handle the business. She only comes to reconcile the accounts at the end of the month.
Li Qinghe nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, boss, you are busy, I will leave first."
He had to take a shower and get a haircut quickly. He couldn't stand his current sloppy appearance. Besides, he still had to go to the theater, so he might as well stir the water to get more emotional points from it.
"Okay, if you are satisfied, come again next time." Chen Xueru greeted.
"No problem, please stay."
Li Qinghe waved his hand and turned to leave.
Chen Xueru sat down with a smile. She now had some interest in Li Qinghe.
In the past, when the men who came to the store saw her, they wanted to stare at her. Even those who were thin-skinned couldn't help but look at her secretly, but they had to pretend not to care.
But this person was only surprised at the beginning, and then his eyes became dull, and he left without any reluctance at all.
In fact, it's not that Li Qinghe doesn't like beauties, but he has seen too many beauties in his previous life. As a celebrity, how can he be without women around him? There are countless women who come to him for money or to rely on him for fame, and he has long been accustomed to it.
