After dinner, the two of them didn't rest but went straight towards the department store.
"Have you been here before?" Ruan Mianmian was very curious from the beginning.
Qin Zheng seemed to be a native of this city, so familiar with everywhere. He was the one who led her all the time. They didn't ask for directions or take detours along the way.
"Yes." Qin Zheng did not deny it. "I came here a few times a long time ago."
"Oh, so that's how it is." "No wonder I'm so familiar with the road."
The roads in cities today are easy to recognize once you have been there twice. There are relatively few roads and they are basically straight and horizontal. There are no elevated roads or loops. There are only a few landmark buildings.
As long as you are not directionally challenged or blind, it is easy to find your way.
As they walked, Qin Zheng couldn't help asking, "What do you think? The team leader told me that you want to start a village-run enterprise in the village."
"I just want to see what the situation is with similar products in the city, and then think of a way to find someone in charge of purchasing and get an order back. This way, the team leader can give an explanation to the commune leaders. It will be easier to get the qualifications."
Ruan Mianmian also knew that her idea was rather naive, but how would she know if she didn't try it?
There is nothing to lose by giving it a try, but if you don't try, you will have no chance at all.
What if she gets caught by surprise?
Although we are now doing things according to the rules, it is undeniable that this is a society that values relationships.
If we talk about human feelings, it means there is room for maneuver.
After listening to Ruan Mianmian's words, Qin Zheng had already started thinking about the people he could use.
Director Sun from the purchasing department of Jianghe City Department Store seems to still owe him a favor. Should he pay it back this time? !
"Okay, let's go check it out first. I saw the samples you left at the captain's house, and to be honest, they look really good. I personally think that such products are still very competitive."
This is not Qin Zheng exaggerating, it is indeed his true feelings. Even if such a thing is placed in the current Hong Kong City, it is considered a fine product.
The department store in Jianghe City is currently one of the tallest buildings in Jianghe City, with a total of six floors.
Each layer is something different.
Ruan Mianmian didn't rush to the counter of handmade decorations. Instead, she browsed from floor to floor.
From here, you can have a comprehensive understanding of the consumption level of the entire Jianghe City.
The sales clerks in department stores are completely different from those in supply and marketing cooperatives.
Each of them is very beautiful and generous, and they smile the whole time when dealing with customers, without any impatience or indifference.
Moreover, the flow of people in the department store is still considerable, and there is no situation where people are idle and doing private work as in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
The overall feeling can be summed up in four words: thriving.
Here, you can see a little bit of the shadow of normal business.
When passing by the women's clothing area, Ruan Mianmian stopped and looked for a while.
There aren’t many ready-made garments nowadays, so people still prefer to buy the cloth and make their own clothes.
This saves material and money, and it also fits the body. Perhaps the only downside is that there aren't many choices in style.
But most people don't care about style.
"Do you like anything?" Qin Zheng looked at Ruan Mianmian staring at the clothes for a long time without moving or speaking. Then he asked. Although he didn't understand women's clothing styles, he could buy them if she liked them.
Before Ruan Mianmian could shake her head, the salesperson who had just served a customer came up and said, "Are you two also planning to buy wedding clothes? This style is a new arrival this year. Many people come to buy this for their wedding."
Ruan Mianmian felt misunderstood and quickly explained, "No, no. We are not getting married."
After being denied, the salesperson blushed and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I thought you two were a couple."
It’s no wonder that the salesperson misunderstood.
Ruan Mianmian and Qin Zheng stood together. The girl was beautiful and had a good temperament, and the boy was tall and handsome. They looked a perfect match no matter how you looked at them.
"It's okay." After being misunderstood, Ruan Mianmian was too embarrassed to stay where she was, so she simply pulled Qin Zheng away.
I was still upset by Ruan Mianmian's denial the previous second, but the next second she pulled me away, and I felt better for some reason.
Qin Zheng suddenly felt that love was truly a tormenting thing.
Luckily, I'm alone for my whole life, and I only have to go through this once. Otherwise, I would really go crazy.
Only after they walked a long way did Ruan Mianmian let go of Qin Zheng's hand.
To ease the embarrassment, she said, "Let's go to the jewelry counter."
Qin Zheng didn't comment and followed her to find the jewelry counter.
The entire department store is not small, but there are only two jewelry counters, and they are located in a relatively remote location.
There are very few accessories in the counter.
There were just a few things similar to those sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and some basic rubber bands and hair ties.
In the most conspicuous place, badges of some great men are neatly arranged.
It seems that there is nothing good to sell even in the city.
At this time, several young female comrades who were well dressed also came over, one of them had permed curly hair.
During this period, most women who could curl their hair were from cultural troupes or similar institutions. Perming hair was a job requirement, and a special certificate was required.
"Look, I've said it before, there's nothing good to buy in the department store. It's been like this for years," one of the girls said helplessly.
The curly-haired lesbian's eyes were full of disappointment.
"If there is nothing here, then we can only go to the capital."
"There may not be any in the capital." Another girl poured cold water on him without any burden.
"Forget it, let's go. It's a waste of time." The female comrade who spoke first turned around and left.
After they were all gone, Ruan Mianmian said to Qin Zheng, "Actually, these things are not without a market, it's just that people nowadays don't have this awareness yet."
It was already the autumn of 1975, and the gang of four was already on its last legs, and would soon be crushed. People would also slowly emerge from the darkness.
"I think you have a good idea. I will support you." Anyway, he will support her no matter what she wants to do.
