Shu Aiguo brought over a few scrapped tables from the furniture factory. The furniture market has its own standards for production, and any furniture that doesn't meet the standards will be scrapped. But not meeting the standards doesn't mean it's unusable. It's fine to bring them here to Chu Yu to put some calendars.
Qiao Ji sent Chu Yu a few tablecloths, which Chu Yu happened to put on the table.
The table was placed against the wall, where two rows of long nails were nailed. After the line was hung, the paintings were clipped on one by one.
The six-meter-long table was covered with calendars, and there were stacks of them on the wall as well. The cover girls were fashionable and bold, with avant-garde styles. The carefully set shooting scenes, whether it was a swimming pool or riding a motorcycle, were unprecedented and could only be described as "hot and daring".
One hot and daring photo is nothing special; a whole wall or table covered in them will undoubtedly attract attention.
In the conservative early 1980s, people readily accepted the impact of various cultural aesthetics.
Although Chu Yu's calendars were daring, none of them touched on anything offensive.
The models don't have surgically enhanced faces; their natural eyebrows and innate气质 (qi zhi, a kind of refined elegance) showcase healthy, sunny, and optimistic female images. They are works of art wherever they are displayed, and they don't evoke any association with vulgarity.
The calendar stall was surrounded by people.
"This picture is so beautiful, and that red bow dress, I've never seen clothes like that before."
"She has a beautiful smile and white teeth."
"She was lying on the mat in her swimsuit with a ball on her butt, how daring! But she was voluptuous and had bright eyes, she was really beautiful."
"Her off-the-shoulder fur coat is so beautiful, and so is this red dress. I want every single one of her clothes."
Most of the people talking were vocational school students from the neighborhood, who could frankly express their admiration and envy.
When people inquired about clothing, Qiu Meizhen invited them into the store to try it on.
Chu Yu and Shen Zhuyu prepared 150,000 yuan worth of goods for this year's festival. She could say with complete shamelessness that she could have any kind of clothes that women in Deyang wanted!
Students, short of money, could only buy one copy at most and admire it silently. The big brothers, who never published anything, had the true inheritance of the top-ranked brother in later generations, and would buy several copies at once.
The word spread quickly, and passersby crowded around the stall to buy calendars, filling the Mandarin area with people.
Whether it's the women's calendar or the high-end women's clothing store, they are all unique in Deyang. Everyone talks about it with great interest, enjoying Chu Yu's avant-garde aesthetic while obediently paying up.
Five yuan is not cheap, but people have money in their hands during the Spring Festival.
They've received their wages and collected all the debts owed. Their children will give them some pocket money when they come home. Even the elderly women and men in the countryside are well-off. Spending 5 yuan on a calendar is really nothing to them.
The calendars sold out like hotcakes.
