Chapter 197 Friendship Store



Because she had already rested in the afternoon, Ruan Mianmian was not sleepy at all now.

By the time she finished preparing all the materials, it was already past three in the morning.

Ruan Mianmian carefully put away her newly made sample and then stretched lazily.

I wasn't really sleepy, but I kept maintaining the same posture and my body felt a little stiff.

After a simple wash, Ruan Mianmian turned off the lights, lay down on the bed, and began to think about what would happen after dawn.

As she was thinking, she fell asleep.

The next morning, she was awakened by Qin Zheng knocking on the door.

Looking at the various Cantonese-style breakfasts in Qin Zheng's hands, Ruan Mianmian instantly became energetic.

Although it is a special period now and the old tradition of having morning tea has been abolished in Guangzhou long ago, these Cantonese-style breakfasts are still sold in state-owned restaurants.

There have been many gourmets in Guangzhou since ancient times, so the taste of these things has been authenticated by generations of people.

Just smelling it is enough to make your mouth water.

"How many stores did you go to to buy all the food? And how can you finish all the food?" Ruan Mianmian saw clearly that the food in Qin Zheng's hand was of different varieties. And judging by the paper bags, they were obviously not from the same place.

With these things, even if two more people came, they probably wouldn’t be able to finish them, let alone the two of them.

"I don't know which one you like, so I bought them all. You can pick the ones you like and give the rest to me. It won't be wasted." Qin Zheng carried the things directly into the house, very familiar.

After Ruan Mianmian finished washing up, Qin Zheng had already arranged everything.

She smelled the scents and really wanted to try every one of them.

But before she opened her mouth, Qin Zheng said, "This, this, and this, they all taste pretty good, try them and see if they suit your taste."

After saying that, he put a little bit of each of the things he had just pointed out into Ruan Mianmian's bowl.

Ruan Mianmian's heart, which was being taken care of, cracked a little bit. The sweetness of the food penetrated into her heart through that little crack.

Ruan Mianmian had a normal appetite, so she ate a little of everything, and the rest was eaten by Qin Zheng. Nothing was wasted.

After eating, Qin Zheng cleaned the table without any help from Ruan Mianmian.

"What are your plans and arrangements for today?" Qin Zheng looked at his watch. It was almost nine o'clock, so it was a good time to go out.

''I'm going to go to the Friendship Store.''

Qin Zheng was stunned for only a second, then he immediately understood her intention and said with a smile, "Okay. There are two Friendship Stores in Yangcheng. Let's go to the largest one first."

After going out, Ruan Mianmian saw Wenzai sitting in the driver's seat of a Jeep 212 eating a barbecued pork bun, and the car was parked right at the door of her house.

She looked back at Qin Zheng, her eyes full of complexity.

But Qin Zheng was not affected at all and walked directly towards the car.

When Wenzai saw his boss and Ruan Mianmian coming out together, he quickly stuffed all the remaining buns into his mouth, then jumped out of the car and opened the back door.

After he had swallowed all the buns, he said, "Good morning, sister-in-law."

Ruan Mianmian was about to say good morning, but was choked by the word "sister-in-law". For a moment, I didn't know whether I should reply or not.

Qin Zheng glanced at him and said, "Don't shout."

Wenzai smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "I know, I know."

After everyone got on the bus, Qin Zheng said, "Let's go to the Friendship Store, the one on Aiguo Road."

"Okay." Wenzai started the car skillfully, and then drove smoothly to the destination for today.

Now, basically only so-called big cities have Friendship Stores, such as Beijing, Haishi, Yangcheng, and Qingshi.

The charter of most "Friendship Stores" - the "General Regulations" stipulates that only foreigners and foreign citizens can enter and buy things.

And having money alone is not enough, you also need foreign exchange coupons.

The ratio of foreign exchange coupons to money is almost one to one.

That is to say, if you buy something worth fifty yuan, in addition to paying fifty yuan in cash, you also need to pay another fifty yuan in foreign exchange coupons.

For ordinary people, even if there were no such regulations, they would not be able to afford to spend money there.

Money is already difficult to deal with, and foreign exchange coupons are even more difficult to deal with.

The Friendship Store in Guangzhou is not so strict because of the Canton Fair. As long as you have enough money and foreign exchange coupons, they will sell things to you. You don't have to be a foreigner or a foreign citizen.

However, because the items in the Friendship Store are very expensive, only a few Chinese people can actually go in and buy things every year.

As soon as she got off the car, Ruan Mianmian saw the iron railings erected at the door, on which hung a sign with red letters on a white background, which read: Our hotel is receiving foreign guests, no entry for unauthorized persons.

Just this one thing made Ruan Mianmian feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing Ruan Mianmian's unhappy expression, Wenzai quickly explained, "Comrade Ruan, you don't have to worry about this. As long as you have money and foreign exchange coupons, you can go in and buy things."

He is a local and knows a lot about these things.

Moreover, since he started working with Qin Zheng three years ago, he has earned a lot of money and learned to drive.

He didn't dare to come to these places before, but now, he would come here occasionally to buy something.

It is easier to buy things here than in department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, and the variety is more complete. The only requirement is to have money.

Ruan Mianmian didn't say anything, just nodded to show that she understood, and followed Qin Zheng in.

The Friendship Store has a huge glass display window. From the outside, you can see all kinds of items displayed in the window.

If you look out from the inside, you can see the situation outside clearly through the gaps between objects.

When Wenzai parked the car at the door, the salesperson inside saw them through the glass window.

Those who can drive here and are well dressed are considered high-quality customers by the salesmen. They are people who can afford the things they buy. Therefore, when facing the three people who pushed the door in, the salesmen all showed professional smiles on their faces.

And he said very appropriately: Welcome~

It really is true that money makes the world go round.

This service attitude is far better than that of supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.
