After Xu Xiangyang left, he went directly to the department store.
Because I had inquired in advance, everything went smoothly when I got there.
The only problem is that the transportation is not very convenient now. There is no shuttle bus from here to the department store.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Xu Xiangyang finally arrived at the destination.
The department store stands out here. The surrounding buildings are of three stories high, while the department store is only five stories high.
This was the first time he had seen such a tall building here. It did not have the prosperity of later generations and looked very simple in appearance.
There were a lot of people inside, and everyone coming in and out had happy looks on their faces.
Who wouldn’t be happy about shopping?
Xu Xiangyang took a look around first. The things there were indeed better than those in his own city, but the prices were not cheap either.
Not to mention that many things require coupons, and he only has money in his pocket, so the coupons are not enough to buy things.
I looked at the time and realized that so much time had passed without me noticing. Now that the time had finally come, I wasn't planning to buy anything.
Everything here requires a ticket. He didn't have these things, so he couldn't buy them even if he wanted to, so he had to go back.
Arriving at the state-owned restaurant, Xu Xiangyang looked at the items on the menu.
In fact, he just wanted to try the food in the big city. He had tried everything in the cafeteria and had no cooking skills, so he could only go to a restaurant to satisfy his craving.
"Comrade, please give me a serving of rice, a portion of braised pork, and some pickled vegetable powder."
The waiter nodded. "A total of one yuan and twenty cents, half a pound of meat coupons and one ounce of grain coupons."
Xu Xiangyang didn't expect it to be so expensive. After all, a serving of braised pork should contain less than a pound of meat, right?
But I've already ordered it, so I don't mind spending that little bit of money.
He paid quickly and found a place to sit down.
It was dinner time and the restaurant started to fill up one after another.
Not long after, a voice came from the window asking Xu Xiangyang to bring the meal.
But when he saw the food, he couldn't help but feel that his money was not wasted.
A portion of pork belly was served in a small bowl, which contained more than a pound of pork, and each piece was the size of a thumb.
Who can eat this big piece of meat?
“It smells so good…”
Xu Xiangyang took a bite and found it tasted good, a little bit sweet, and the meat was soft and tender without being greasy at all.
Paired with a mouthful of pickled vegetable powder, it’s absolutely delicious!
(Pickle vermicelli is pickled cabbage shreds fried with vermicelli)
While eating, Xu Xiangyang heard two young men next to him drinking beer and chatting.
"The boss said we have to be more cautious this time, so let's just drink this bottle."
"Okay, I'll drink when I get back after I finish my work."
"That won't work. How important is what's going on tonight? We can't afford to take care of the TV."
"Keep your voice down..."
Xu Xiangyang raised his eyebrows. TV?
Televisions were not easy to get at that time, especially TV tickets, which some people had never seen.
Not to mention the price is almost the same as a small courtyard, which is simply prohibitive.
So what do these two people mean?
Xu Xiangyang didn't look at them, but continued to eat. After all, it's better not to ask about such sensitive topics lightly. Even if you ask, people won't tell you and will be wary of you.
From what they said, it was obvious that this TV was of questionable origin, with the words "Boss" and "Turn down the volume" mentioned.
After dinner, Xu Xiangyang put the remaining dishes into the lunch box.
You can take it home and heat it up and eat it. It won’t go bad if you keep it in the space.
He didn't walk far after leaving the restaurant. Instead, he changed his clothes and stood at the entrance of a nearby alley.
Not long after, the two young men who had just eaten in the restaurant came out.
He was talking and laughing along the way, his face was slightly red, probably because he drank more than one bottle of beer.
Xu Xiangyang followed briskly, keeping a distance of about thirty meters from them.
At this distance, you won’t be discovered or lost.
Although the two of them drank, who knows if they really let their guard down?
Xu Xiangyang followed all the way to the outskirts of the city. He was not familiar with the situation there, so he didn't know exactly where this place was.
However, the surrounding area is not as prosperous and crowded as in the city, it should be in the suburbs.
The two young men stopped at an abandoned yard and looked around before entering.
Xu Xiangyang had been squatting not far away, and no one could see him.
Watching the young man enter the yard, he squatted on a stone and began to think.
He originally wanted to ask if he could buy a TV cheaply, but how did it turn into stalking?
Xu Xiangyang sighed. Even if he went in now in plain clothes to ask, he would probably be beaten half to death, or even killed to silence him.
Being able to obtain a TV set through illegal means proves that the leader of these people must be very capable.
If he went over there rashly, he would probably be strangled.
Let’s just forget it.
Thinking this, Xu Xiangyang stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, a military truck came towards them, but it was obviously a scrapped vehicle and not a regular unit vehicle.
Don't ask him how he knows that. Most trucks and vans have certificates.
Especially if it's owned by a company, they are all state-owned enterprises now. If the vehicle is owned by a company, then there will be a company license plate on it. (This is nonsense)
Xu Xiangyang lowered his head, then turned and walked into the alley. The cars on the road did not stop and drove all the way to the yard.
Xu Xiangyang heard the car stalled and went back to take another look.
The leader opened the door and the two young men inside came out.
"Boss!"
"Boss..."
The face of the man in the lead could not be seen clearly. He was wearing a mask and a hat.
But the man was about 1.8 meters tall and looked very tall.
The car drove into the yard and the gate was closed.
Xu Xiangyang thought about it for a moment, then decided to leave. Regardless of whether the other party was selling it or not, he couldn't buy it.
In this remote place, if anything happens, he won't even be able to run away.
For safety reasons, Xu Xiangyang left without staying for long.
When I returned to the hotel, Qian Wenqing had not come back yet. I guess he bought a lot of things.
There was a big bag on the bed opposite. He must have gone out to buy something after shopping.
It has to be said that purchasing agents exist both now and in the future.
Xu Xiangyang has no interest in being a purchasing agent. He thinks it is quite boring. Moreover, in this era, he can be a purchasing agent without leaving home.
However, this kind of thing is risky. If someone really notices it, it will be a big trouble.
He lay on the bed thinking, then took out a suitcase. After all, he had been out shopping for a whole day, so he couldn't possibly not buy anything, right?
When Qian Wenqing takes him to the trade fair, he will have an excuse to take things out.
These are some things I sorted out a while ago and planned to sell slowly, but there hasn't been any chance.
He glanced at his watch. It was almost four in the afternoon and it was getting dark.
