These were originally in-demand goods, and in the past they were often sold out as soon as they were put on display in winter.
However, the market has been bad in the past two years. Who doesn’t understand the famine? The grain stores in the city have restricted the supply of food. Everyone who has some money in their hands will quickly find ways to buy expensive food on the black market. As a result, they don’t care so much about clothes. As long as they have something to wear, it’s fine.
Therefore, department stores now have sufficient goods, and there is a lot of backlog of imported watches and other items that cannot be sold.
After hearing what the salesperson said and seeing the colorful wool the salesperson took out, Lu Jiang was very excited. He thought that a sweater knitted with red wool would look great on Feng Qingxue, but he knew that he didn't have any wool ticket.
"Do I have to use yarn tickets to buy yarn?" Lu Jiang asked.
"You can also use cloth coupons to pay for it."
When he heard that he could use cloth coupons to buy wool yarn, Lu Jiang immediately took out a stack of cloth coupons and picked out the red wool yarn first.
Wool yarn was very expensive, 20 yuan per pound, and blended wool yarn was 10 yuan, but Lu Jiang had money, so he bought four pounds of bright red wool yarn, four pounds of blue wool yarn, and four pounds of blended wool yarn in one go.
Twelve pounds of wool, enough to knit several sweaters
Feng Qingxue was shocked.
"Brother Lu, that's enough. Why buy so much?" Although it was not her money that was spent, it still made her feel distressed.
All in all, he spent several hundred dollars just on buying fabrics and yarn.
What does that mean? As far as she knows, many urban workers only earn 20 to 30 yuan a month.
Feng Qingxue forcibly pulled Lu Jiang away from the counter.
"Wait, I haven't bought you clothes or shoes yet!" Seeing Feng Qingxue walking towards the door, Lu Jiang spoke quickly.
Feng Qingxue stopped and turned to look at him, her expression showing strong disapproval, "Didn't you say you had two pairs of shoes given to you by Captain Zhao's sister-in-law? Why buy more shoes? This fabric is enough to make a lot of clothes."
"You don't have to buy clothes, but you have to at least buy a pair of shoes."
Lu Jiang was determined. He took her to the shoe cabinet and directly chose a pair of the best Lan Tang leather shoes for her, spending twenty-six yuan.
When buying shoes, the salesperson told Feng Qingxue that the Lan Tang leather shoes made in Shanghai are a national brand. The wives of national leaders all wear shoes of this brand, which are particularly fashionable and classy.
This pair of black leather shoes is indeed exquisite and comfortable to wear, and Feng Qingxue chose a more classic and evergreen style.
She thought the shopping was over, but Lu Jiang took her to the watch counter.
"Unfortunately, I don't have a watch ticket. Let's buy imported watches. I remember the group leader said that imported watches don't require tickets and are very durable. Swiss watches are the best, and the group leader has one."
Lu Jiang didn't even give Feng Qingxue a chance to react, and directly asked the salesperson if they had any imported women's watches.
"Yes, yes. Women's watches, right? There are several kinds, Rolex, Omega, Enicar, Roman, and Titoni!" Imported watches are not selling well at the moment. Upon hearing that someone is coming to buy, the salesperson was very enthusiastic and took the watches to the counter one by one for Lu Jiang to see.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
What kind of vision did Lu Jiang have? He had been pampered since childhood, and he had no interest in anything other than good things. So he immediately took a fancy to the only Rolex watch he had. It was made of steel with 17 diamonds, waterproof and shockproof, and had a double calendar. It was more exquisite and luxurious than other imported watches, so he pointed at the watch and asked the salesperson, "How much is this?"
The salesperson quickly replied, "The price is lower than in previous years. It's 450 now. Men's and women's watches are the same price."
