Perhaps because it was close to lunchtime, there weren't many people at the entrance of Wangfujing Department Store.
Looking at the large clock above, I realized it was already eleven o'clock.
Fearing the sales clerks inside would go home, Lin Yang hurried through the doorway.
Upon closer inspection, one is greeted by a variety of daily chemical products and household appliances.
Passing through the daily chemical products area.
Lin Yang immediately spotted Xie Fuchun's duck egg powder, clam oil, pearl beauty snow cream, Friendship brand skin care cream, and Wan Zi Qian Hong brand skin care cream on the counter.
Unfortunately, this wasn't the day to buy these things, so Lin Yang didn't even look at them and headed straight for the home appliance section.
Upon arriving here, I saw a shop window with the eight large characters "Self-reliance and striving for progress" inscribed on it.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Yang was greeted by a variety of domestically produced semiconductor radios, cameras, nylon shirts, scientific instruments, and other products.
Seeing Lin Yang staring intently at the various electrical appliances, a salesperson enthusiastically stepped forward and said, "Young man, buying electrical appliances? How about taking a look at our domestic products? They're just as good as those foreign goods!"
For Lin Yang, it didn't matter whether it was in China or abroad.
Since it couldn't possibly compare to some modern gadgets, he smiled and said, "Could you please recommend a decent domestically made radio for me?"
"Alright!" The cashier smiled and pointed to a square radio, saying, "This Shanghai Model 132 vacuum tube radio is a new model developed last year. It was presented as a gift to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China at the National Industrial and Transportation Exhibition held in September 1959. Buying it is definitely the right choice!"
As she spoke, she plugged in the power and set it up for Lin Yang.
After listening for a while, Lin Yang felt it was not bad. The sound quality wasn't outstanding, but it was still clear enough to hear.
After making the purchase decisively, he then strolled over to the watch section and bought the then-famous Shanghai A581 model watch!
Only Lin Yang, who is not short of money, could afford this watch, which costs about the same as a bicycle.
Once they arrived at the bicycle shop upstairs, Lin Yang decisively bought a Flying Pigeon brand bicycle.
I bought two items, both from Shanghai. I figured I should at least send some bicycles to support the northern regions.
With all these items, after paying the money and paying the tickets, Lin Yang casually put on his watch and asked the department store staff to help him attach the radio to the back seat.
Because now you have to bring the purchase invoice to register the car when you buy it.
Looking at his watch, Lin Yang realized he had only spent a dozen minutes on his bike, so he immediately rode his bicycle to the non-motorized vehicle management office near the Nanluo Police Station.
When we arrived there, the staff were about to leave work.
But after smoking two cigarettes and chatting for a while, they still managed to stamp the "steel mark" on the bicycle handlebars and frame without any problems.
After everything was settled, Lin Yang parked the car in a secluded spot, took out three catties of pork from his spatial storage, and leisurely headed to the state-run restaurant.
He didn't want to cook at home for lunch, so he would have to trouble the chef, Ao Chunfei.
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Lin Yang hadn't even taken the radio off the back of the car.
Yan Zhaolong saw Lin Yang's figure through the window and quickly ran out.
"Brother Yang, it's only been a short time since we last met! You have a bicycle and a radio!" He said enviously as he helped Lin Yang untie the rope from the radio.
"Your brother Yang has done a great job recently, and these are all rewards from the factory!" Lin Yang looked at Yan Zhaolong carrying the radio, smiled, and took out the cigarette he had taken from Tong Daning from his pocket. "Are you busy today? I got three more pounds of meat. I'll ask Lao Ao to make some braised pork. Let's have some together?"
“Apart from holidays, we’re not busy at all!” Yan Zhaolong said, noticing the watch on Lin Yang’s wrist, and was immediately stunned.
He said incredulously, "Brother Yang, are you looking for a wife? You've got three things in one—just a sewing machine is needed to complete your set!"
"What are you thinking? Your brother Yang still has a long way to go to contribute to a better society, he doesn't have time to get married!" Lin Yang took a cigarette, then handed one to Yan Zhaolong and said, "Watch the radio for me for a bit, I'm going to find Lao Ao!"
"No problem!" Yan Zhaolong nodded excitedly. Even if these things weren't his, he was happy to touch them!
As Lin Yang and Yan Zhaolong entered the restaurant, all the waiters looked at them with envy.
To be precise, it was the watch on Lin Yang's wrist and the radio in Yan Zhaolong's arms.
"Ah Long, you know how to use this, right?" Lin Yang said with a smile when he saw everyone's gaze. "Why don't you go over there and give it a try?"
“This…” Yan Zhaolong hesitated slightly before saying, “Brother Yang, how about we forget about it? I’ve never used a radio before!”
"I can do it! I can do it!" At this moment, a waiter with a buzz cut said excitedly, "Brother Yang, my cousin has a radio at home. She taught me how to use it before. Why don't you let me give it a try?"
"Okay, be careful!" Lin Yang nodded with a smile, then carried the meat in his hand and headed towards the kitchen.
As soon as Lin Yang entered, he saw Ao Chunfei cutting pig ears next to a large pot of braising broth, obviously preparing some braised dishes.
"Brother Yang is here!" Ao Chunfei immediately put down what he was doing when he saw Lin Yang.
"Old Ao, I'm troubling you again!" Lin Yang said with a smile, picking up the three jin of pork in his hand. "The factory leaders gave me some pork, and I was thinking of coming to you, the chef, to make some braised pork to satisfy my craving!"
"No problem!" Ao Chunfei smiled and pointed to the braised pig ears that were already on the side. "How about we get some of these braised dishes to take with us later? This braising sauce is my secret recipe!"
"Wow, then I'm in for a treat!" Lin Yang washed his hands, picked up a small piece of pig's ear, tasted it, and then gave a thumbs up.
"I can only describe these pig ears in four words!"
"Soft, chewy, and crunchy!"
"I'm going to buy two pounds to take with me later, this stuff is really good!"
As Ao Chunfei cut the three catties of pork he brought into pieces, he said with a smile, "It's really good stuff. These pig ears were specially sourced by our manager from various supply and marketing cooperatives. You wouldn't buy them anywhere else, even if you wanted to!"
While watching Ao Chunfei make braised pork, Lin Yang chatted with him idly.
When the topic turned to Nanyi, Ao Chunfei sighed helplessly and said:
"I don't even know if I should introduce this person to you!"
"I heard yesterday that the boss was thinking about his cooking skills and was going to transfer him back from the toilet area!"
"I never expected to have another conflict with my boss in less than a day!"
"He's been moved from the kitchen to the toilet again. This time, he'll probably be staying there for a while!"
After thinking it over, Lin Yang realized that it would be better to let Nan Yi temper his temper in the toilet!
Anyway, since Sha Zhu has been reassigned to cleaning toilets, there's no rush to do this.
Otherwise, it would be ridiculous to send away one ancestor only to have another great Buddha appear.
