As everyone rushed to grab the items, Lin Sen's stall quickly attracted the attention of everyone at the Jiajia Town temple fair.
Then Lin Sen's stall, naturally, immediately became the star stall of the Jiajia Town Temple Fair.
Subsequently, the news that Lin Sen's stall was offering free chilled beer and beer for three dollars a pitcher, and that he was also giving away glassware with the purchase of beer, spread like wildfire throughout the temple fair.
As expected, once the news spread, it caused a huge sensation at the Jiajia Town temple fair.
Everyone was completely shocked by this news.
After all, no one expected that beer would one day be so cheap.
Back in 1985, beer was a luxury!
Ordinary people wouldn't dare to drink it!
In 1985, ordinary people did not achieve beer freedom like in later generations.
Of course, this isn't just about beer. Here's a little-known fact: in the 80s and 90s, bottled water was a luxury!
That's right, bottled water already existed in the 1980s and 90s.
However, the mineral water that is common in later generations and that everyone can afford to buy and drink was a luxury in the 1980s.
The price of bottled water in the 1980s and 90s was much higher than it is today.
Sell it for one or two yuan a bottle!
This seems to be the same price as in later generations.
But in reality, they are quite different.
After all, in the 1980s and 90s, money was valuable and had strong purchasing power, and there was no formal government employment system.
In the 1980s and 90s, people's wages were only a few dozen to a little over a hundred yuan.
So a bottle of mineral water that costs one or two yuan is an exorbitant price.
It is a true luxury item.
Similar to later times, a bottle of mineral water used to cost one or two hundred!
It's fair to say that even though people in later generations are more willing to spend money than ordinary people in the 1980s and 90s, if a bottle of mineral water costs you one or two hundred...
I'm afraid most ordinary people wouldn't be willing to spend the money to buy it!
Therefore, in the 1980s and 1990s, beer was not considered a luxury for city dwellers. Most people were willing to drink it and could afford it.
However, for rural people in the 1980s and 90s...
They can't afford beer, and they're not exactly willing to drink it either!
After all, a bottle of beer costs 50 cents, and if you drink three bottles, that's 1.5 yuan.
That's enough to buy two pounds of meat!
Then, for rural people in 1985, their monthly income was only about thirty yuan.
So if you drink ten bottles of beer a month, that's five yuan.
Who can afford to drink this?
If any man dared to drink beer like that, his wife would definitely scratch his face until it was covered in bruises!
So back then, most men in the countryside couldn't afford to buy alcohol. And as for smoking, it wasn't like in later generations, where people would buy cartons and smoke packs a day.
These days, men who smoke grow their own tobacco, roll it up in paper, and smoke it puff by puff.
Dry tobacco, because it has no filter.
So the taste is much stronger than a filtered eyeglass, it's very pungent!
But today, everything has changed.
Because the Dongshan beer sold at Lin Sen's stall was cheap enough.
So after the news spread like wildfire, the entire temple fair was in an uproar.
Many women are usually very frugal; they wouldn't even let their men buy them a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) that would last them half a month, let alone beer.
At this moment, however, they set their sights on the glassware that Lin Sen was giving away for free at his stall.
Because the glassware was given away for free, and Dongshan beer was also free to drink, and it was sold at such a low price.
So these women were really tempted!
After all, they are frugal, but they are not fools.
She knows her husband works hard, and he's exhausted after a year of toil.
So when they need to feel sorry for their men, they will.
Therefore, when it's time to buy something for their men, they will spend the money, even though it hurts.
After all, you can't just let the donkey pull the millstone without feeding it grass!
Even the most capable donkey wouldn't last long in that situation.
"You wanted beer, right? Go ahead and buy a pitcher."
Just then, looking at the bustling Dongshan beer stall, a middle-aged woman nudged the arm of the man next to her and handed him three yuan: "I need a glass water cup. My cup at home is broken, so I don't need to buy a new one!"
"hiss."
"You...you want me to buy beer?"
"real!?"
The man was immediately taken aback and looked at the middle-aged woman beside him with great surprise.
After all, family members know their own affairs.
His wife has always been very stingy.
Normally, I wouldn't even be willing to spend a dime, let alone a dollar.
Are you going to buy it or not?
"Fine, I won't buy it then!"
The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes at the man beside her, making a move to snatch the three yuan.
"I'll buy it right now."
"Wife, wait for me!"
The middle-aged man immediately became very excited, grabbed the money, and rushed towards the Dongshan beer stall.
"Honey, I just had a free beer, and it was really good."
"Mainly because it's cheap."
A young couple next to them, who were clearly newly married, were looking at the woman with a slightly protruding belly. The man muttered something under his breath, but hesitated to speak.
"Buy it."
"I want a glass tank."
"It can be used to store miscellaneous items."
The woman, holding her stomach, took out three yuan and handed it to the man.
"Honey, I'll really go buy it!"
Upon seeing the woman's agreement, the young man became extremely excited.
