Chapter 77 Shancheng Department Store 7Y0x(jhssd)
Qin Qing and Lei Zi washed the black dust off their faces before leaving the hotel.
"Leizi, let's go! Let's go to Shancheng Department Store and buy you some clothes!"
With 120 yuan in her pocket, Qin Qing felt confident. Looking at Lei Zi, who was wearing patched clothes, Qin Qing said cheerfully.
"Sister Qing, there's really no need. I'm not cold!"
When he heard that they were going to a department store, Lei Zi was so scared that he shook his head. He heard that it was an upscale place where only city people would go, so how could he dare to go there?
"I'm cold, please come with me."
Qin Qing's cotton coat was also burned. With the cold wind blowing, she would have to ride for another two hours to get back to the county town.
Shenli is the capital of the revolution, and Qin Qing doesn't want to bring Shenli down like last time.
The appearance of Gu Jingmo and Guan Zhongyi weighed on Qin Qing's heart like two huge mountains, but she tried hard to ignore the negative impact they brought.
"Okay, Sister Qing, I'll go with you."
Qin Qing rode a bicycle with Lei Zi, asking for directions along the way, going up and down hills and being exhausted, and finally arrived at Shancheng Department Store.
Looking at the six-story building in front of me, the tiles on the exterior are new and bright, there is a tall glass door at the entrance, and six red words "Shancheng Department Store" are written on the top of the building. The whole building looks magnificent.
"Sister Qing, can we...can we go in?"
Lei Zi nervously buttoned his shirt and looked out at the department store in front of him, where people were coming and going at the entrance. The city dwellers were all very fashionable, making his patched clothes look even more unsightly.
"Why can't we enter? We're here to spend money!"
Qin Qing parked her bicycle and naturally noticed the gazes of people around her. She was not much better off than Lei Zi. The clothes she wore were all patched.
It was almost the end of the year, and she had to buy some New Year's goods for her family.
"Let's go!"
When they arrived at the door of the department store, Lei Zi was still hesitant and didn't dare to move forward. Qin Qing reached out and pulled him into the department store.
Department stores of this era were completely different from those of later generations. Each floor had different goods, with glass counters in the front and goods placed on cabinets in the back.
"Sister Qing! Look! A sewing machine!"
Lei Zi excitedly pointed at the sewing machine on the counter. It was just a shell, but it was shiny black. "Sister Qing, this brand new sewing machine is different from the ones dragged back from the scrap yard! There are also many thermoses, all new and red. Sister Qing, I have one at home too. I've used it for many years, but unfortunately the inner pot is broken."
After entering the department store, Lei Zi looked at the dazzling array of goods. All his previous anxiety disappeared, and his eyes revealed the excitement of a teenager. He looked around and was extremely happy.
During the time Qin Qing had known him, Lei Zi had always been steady. Only at this moment did she feel that he had the vitality of a young man.
"Sister Qing!! Look!"
Lei Zi almost jumped up. He ran forward quickly and looked at the pile of green refrigerators in front of him. He was so excited that he didn't even dare to touch them.
"Sister Qing, this is... is this a refrigerator?"
He had never seen one before, but he had only heard people say that the green iron box was a refrigerator, and when you put things in it, they would be cold when you took them out.
"Yes, a refrigerator. When we make money, we will buy one later."
"How much does a refrigerator cost..."
Lei Zi glanced at the price, immediately took a few steps back, walked over to Qin Qing and whispered, "It's too expensive, too expensive, Sister Qing, this green iron ball costs over 600!"
This was beyond Lei Zi's comprehension. 600 yuan! He had never seen so much money in his life.
Just now, he was holding 120 yuan in the restaurant and it felt hot. This thing must be several times more expensive. It's too scary.
"It's not expensive. If we put out a dozen fires, we can buy a refrigerator."
Qin Qing teased with a smile. Lei Zi immediately shook his head frantically when she said that. "There aren't that many fires to put out! We'd better not have the refrigerator. We don't have it anymore."
Lei Zi waved his hand and turned his gaze again. When he saw what was in front of him, he was really dumbfounded.
The black and white TV in front of him was being debugged and was playing "Red Rock". The characters were clearly visible in the black and white picture, and Lei Zi was instantly fascinated. When he saw the heroine being brutally brutalized by the enemy, he couldn't help but shout out loud.
"Let her go! Let her go!"
Lei Zi's voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him. Qin Qing quickly covered his mouth and dragged him away forcibly.
"Sister Qing, those bad guys... are beating people up!"
"That's TV! TV! It's all acting..."
"It's so realistic! Sister Qing, is that cube the TV? It's so beautiful! I've never seen anything so beautiful."
Lei Zi sighed and said that this time he followed Sister Qing into the city and it really broadened his horizons.
When he gets back, he can brag to his friends in the village about refrigerators and televisions. Which of them have ever seen one? But he has seen one!
"Is it nice? Then Sister Qing will buy one in the future and we can look at it together!"
"That must be very expensive! Sister Qing, let me help you, let's buy a TV together!"
Lei Zi thought the refrigerator was too expensive, but he became interested when the topic of television was brought up. It was as if he had found his goal.
Sister Qing is capable, he must practice more kung fu to protect Sister Qing and buy a TV in the future!
"Okay, let's buy some together! Lei Zi, let's go to the second floor to look at some clothes."
The second floor sold men's and women's clothing, which was Qin Qing's goal this time. In addition to buying clothes, she also wanted to see what styles were currently sold in the department stores in the mountain city. If she wanted to do clothing business, she had to understand the market.
"Oh my god!"
As soon as he reached the second floor, Lei Zi was shocked.
There were two mannequins placed in front of the counter. The dolls were dark yellow in color, with a strange pink tint on their faces. They looked pale, and the whole aura was very eerie.
Not only was Lei Zi shocked, even Qin Qing was stunned.
"You can just cut out a beautiful face and stick it on the model's head. The effect of the clothing pattern will be completely different in an instant."
Qin Qing muttered something. There was a girl with a ponytail who was squatting on the ground polishing the shoes on the model's feet. When she heard Qin Qing's words, she stopped what she was doing, looked up at the model in front of her, thought for a while, and then stood up and walked towards the counter next door.
"Hello……"
A salesperson with short hair came forward, and her smile disappeared instantly after she saw what Qin Qing and Lei Zi were wearing.
"If you want to look, look at it yourself, but keep a distance. Also, no touching! If you get it dirty, you'll have to pay for it!"
The salesperson rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "They are just country bumpkins who came to the city to broaden their horizons. I'm afraid they can't even afford a fraction of the clothes here, so I won't serve them!"
Qin Qing knew that the salesperson was just judging by the customer's preferences, so she didn't care and turned around to look at the clothes hanging on the counter.
The sweaters are mainly gray, black and dark blue, and are all knitted with basic copper coin patterns, which looks very ordinary.
There are also several woolen coats, in colors other than gray, black, and blue, there is also a dark red one. The color is too dark, and the tailoring is too loose and baggy, which does not look good on the body. There are also short and long cotton coats, and the color remains the same. Because I can't touch them, I don't know the cotton content, but the price is not low. A short cotton coat costs 10 yuan, and the long one is sold for 65 yuan.
"Just look around enough. Turn right when you get out of the department store. There are street vendors over there. I think you can probably afford to buy something there."
The salesperson glanced Qin Qing up and down several times, and pursed his lips with a forced smile.
What does it matter if you are good-looking? No one will be interested in you if you wear tattered clothes.
Tap tap tap...
The saleswoman heard the sound of high heels, and she knew it was the sound of high-quality leather shoes, crisp and rich. She smiled, showing all eight teeth, and greeted warmly.
"Hello... Welcome..."
The rest of the words got stuck in the saleswoman's throat, because the person standing in front of her was...
