Wei Jianguo took Song Shuxi to the tram station and waited for the tram.
At this time, the tram had two long tentacles on its head, which were connected to the contact wires above and ran along the route of the wires.
Song Shuqian looked at all this curiously.
The tram body is light blue and the roof is white, and it looks a bit like a large blue bread.
It is a beautiful sight to behold on the streets of this old city.
The two got on the bus. There weren't many people on the bus, so Song Shuqian found a seat by the window and sat down. Wei Jianguo stood beside her to ensure that he could protect her if there was any danger.
The tram was not very fast, and through the window, the world outside looked beautiful.
"Jianguo, do you think Beijing is colorful and other cities are gray? I like it here so much, it's clean and convenient." Song Shuxi took Wei Jianguo to share her feelings.
In her eyes, the Flower Country can be divided into four nine cities and other cities.
People here speak with more energy and spirit than people in other cities. They are very tough and have hope for life.
When arriving at Wangfujing Department Store, Song Shuqian's most intuitive feeling was that it was worthy of being the number one department store in the city. It has two underground floors and four above-ground floors, with a construction area of 39,000 square meters.
The words "1949" and "Wangfujing Department Store" are hung on the outside of the building.
This is the largest department store Song Shuqian has ever visited.
"Honey, I think I will buy a lot of things today," Song Shuxi said excitedly, holding Wei Jianguo. Deep down, she is still the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion, and she has never lacked money even in the most difficult times.
Wei Jianguo thought that his wife had the money returned by the state after the public-private partnership of the Song family's businesses, and the leader should know that the money was tens of thousands of yuan. In other words, Song Shuqian does not appear to be short of money.
With her allowances and mission bonuses over the years, she could buy whatever she wanted without any danger.
It seemed like he thought a lot, but in fact it only took a moment. He said, "Then buy more and choose what you like. I'll get it when you're done."
Song Shuqian was very satisfied and smiled sweetly at him.
The two rushed into the department store.
The first floor sells meat, eggs, and vegetables. There are special counters for chicken, duck, and pork, and there are people crowding in front of them.
There are fewer people selling vegetables, but only a little.
Song Shuqian turned around and saw someone selling fruits. This was a pleasant surprise. "Hello, comrade. I want two pounds of persimmons and two pounds of apples."
The saleswoman was an auntie with a very good attitude. "A pound of apples is 0.3 cents, a pound of persimmons is 0.25 cents, a total of one dollar and one pound of fruit tickets."
Wei Jianguo paid the bill and the two of them continued shopping with their things.
When she arrived at the candy counter, Song Shuxi took a fancy to the chocolate. She had eaten this before, but not much, and she quite liked it.
"Comrade, I want two kilograms of this chocolate," Wei Jianguo's voice rang out.
This kind of chocolate seems to be only sold in Beijing. They have never seen it in other cities. Now that they have seen it, they want to buy more.
Song Shuqian looked around the candy counter and found a kind of crispy candy she had never seen before, called Shrimp Crisp. "Comrade, I want two taels of this prawn crisp."
There were not many candy coupons left, so Song Shuxi decided to only buy her favorite ones.
After getting the prawn crisps, she couldn't wait to try one. It was crispy and not too sweet, just what she liked.
He peeled another one and gave it to Wei Jianguo, "This one is delicious, you try it."
"I like us to take more when we go back."
Song Shuqian shrugged and said, "There are not enough candy coupons."
"It's okay, leave it to me."
Wei Jianguo planned to go to the black market before leaving to get everything he needed.
Song Shuxi also knew what he was thinking, "Then let's buy more. There are four of us in our family. It won't go bad anyway, so we can keep it and eat it slowly."
Wei Jianguo thought so too.
Afterwards, the two went to the daily necessities counter, and Song Shuqian bought Pechoin Vanishing Cream, Gongdeng Almond Honey, Queen's Pien Tze Huang Pearl Cream and Yongfang Pearl Cream, intending to go back and try them to find the one that suits her best.
When buying things at this time, just buy it if you like it, and forget it if you don’t want to. There is no such thing as trial.
To put it bluntly, it is a seller's market.
There are many more things in Sijiucheng than in Huludao.
She also bought shampoo, a big blue bottle.
Afterwards, the two of them went to the fabric counter, but their luck was not very good as they did not find any defective fabric. Their cloth coupons were almost used up, so they didn't make any purchases.
At the ready-to-wear wardrobe counter, Song Shuxi was attracted by a cashmere coat with a camel-colored H-shaped waist design, which made her look very elegant when she put it on.
Wei Jianguo understood his wife's thoughts at a glance and said, "Comrade, please give me a size that will fit my wife."
The salesperson looked at the clothes of the two people and confirmed that they could afford them before taking them down. As he took them down, he said, "This is from Shanghai. There are only two pieces, one large and one small. Each one costs 121 yuan."
Song Shuxi took off her coat and put on a cashmere coat, and her whole temperament was completely different.
Wei Jianguo quickly said, "Please pack it up. Does this coat come in other colors?"
The salesperson quickly wrote out the order and said, "We have black ones."
Wei Jianguo found out that his wife didn't like black very much, so he didn't want it.
The two continued shopping and saw a pair of leather shoes at a leather shoe counter. They happened to have Wei Jianguo's shoes, so they bought them.
What surprised Song Shuqian most about the department store was that it was very tolerant of cultural learning.
There are many books and they are quite complete. Even the pigments Song Shuqian uses for painting are relatively complete here.
She selected a number of paints.
After walking for a while, the two of them felt a little tired and listless. They continued walking with one breath.
Then I found out that there were air guns for sale here.
Although she didn't know anything about air guns, she knew it was a dangerous thing. It can be used for hunting, and it is very painful when it hits a person.
Although Song Shuqian was curious, she didn't buy it because she felt it was unnecessary. Wei Jianguo is simply not interested, he has the real stuff.
Thinking of her future children, Song Shuxi also bought some toys, a tin frog and a tin train. I referred to the shape of the rag doll here and decided to make one myself when I go back.
After the tour, the two saw musical instruments again, which surprised Song Shuqian. She thought there would be no music here in the future. I didn't expect to meet someone selling musical instruments here. Guitar, erhu, flute, harmonica, accordion, quite complete.
After confirming with the salesperson that it was okay to try, she picked up the accordion and tried two of them. She could find the scales but couldn't play any tunes.
The two of them experienced the feeling of shopping today, they walked a lot but bought little.
No matter how many tickets I have, they can't withstand Song Shuxi's use. Now there are not many, I can only satisfy my eyes.
