Song Chucheng arrived at the gate of the First Department Store. The department store had five floors, and the top floor was hung with slogans belonging to this era.
On both sides of the entrance are glass display cabinets at the height of an adult's waist, a bit like the long rows of glass cabinets in later pharmacies. On the right is the pastry counter and on the left is the candy counter.
She looked carefully and found that all the candies at the candy counter were in bulk. If you wanted to buy some, the salesperson would give you a small flat-bottomed bamboo basket. You could choose to put them in a paper bag, or buy a square iron box from them, which was the same as the iron mooncake box in later generations.
There was also a tin oil drum next to the glass counter, which was also filled with candy. It was the first time she had seen so much candy in all the time she had been in this time and space...
Song Chucheng followed the pedestrians in. It was not the few people she had imagined, but a huge crowd of people. It was no exaggeration to say that it was so crowded that it was packed with people.
This was something she had never expected. On both sides were glass counters similar to those at the door, one after another along the large column.
Each counter sold something different, and what surprised her most was the black escalator in the middle!!
She hasn't started shopping yet, and has only seen the escalator going up and hasn't seen the escalator going down.
The first counter on her left sold thermoses, taking up the entire counter. The glass cabinet was filled with ceramic cups. The wall cabinet behind the counter salesperson was divided into two halves, and one half was filled with neatly arranged thermoses in red, white, green, and blue. She heard someone asking the price, and the salesperson quoted six dollars and fifty cents each!
The other half is filled with water tanks and small thermoses, all neatly arranged, without even a single protruding corner...
The glass cabinet connected to it was for selling bowls, and the wooden wall cabinet behind the salesperson was also filled with bowls. Song Chucheng counted them and found that there were eight bowls in each bundle, the bottoms of which were wrapped with newspapers and tied with thin ropes.
Song Chucheng looked at the counters one by one. There were counters selling locks and scissors, and even more cloth. There were counters specializing in floral fabrics, Dacron, corduroy...
While she was looking at the various kinds of cloth, she was also choosing in the space. If she found something she would take to the nursing home first and choose more when she returned.
Song Chucheng stopped at the Dacron counter and picked up two pieces with prices marked on them: one yuan and five cents per foot and one foot of cloth coupon.
(The price is checked online, please don’t criticize me if you are sensitive!)
"Comrade, I want these two pieces, ten feet each."
Ten feet is just enough to make a set of clothes. She liked the paper bags on the counter, but she didn't need them herself. She could give the bags to her sister-in-law.
"Yes, comrade."
The salesperson was measuring the cloth while the other was collecting money. "Do you want a paper bag? It's two cents and a half."
"Yes, I want two paper bags."
The salesperson was not surprised at all. With Shanghai's reputation as a "golden brand", which comrade who came here on business would not come here to help buy things?
Having a paper bag from Shanghai's No. 1 Department Store is very prestigious.
Song Chucheng carried two bags and went straight to the wine counter and the watch counter. These would all be money in the space in the future! This was also one of the reasons why she came here today.
Arriving at the wine counter, Song Chucheng's eyes lit up. What did she see? A local tycoon in the world of vintage wine, in earthenware bottles, corked with red rubber, and limited to two bottles...
Wuliangye radish bottle red label...
Those who need tickets will be given tickets, and those who don’t need them will pay money. No one here will care how much you buy. There are many people who come to Shanghai on business trips, carry things for most of the workers in the factory, or carry things for most of the village.
At the entrances of department stores, train stations, and docks, nine out of ten people are carrying large and small bags...
After Song Chucheng asked them to issue the invoice and pay the money, she carried these things to the bathroom, closed the door of the small cubicle, and carried these things into the space.
After looking at the two brothers who were having fun, she didn't call them.
She kept her eyes on the outside, and when she saw that there was no one in the passage, she came out of the space, opened the door and walked out.
After buying the watch, she started browsing the floors, occasionally looking at the two brothers in the space. She also bought a lot of other things, such as candies, biscuits, cakes...
There are also the brothers’ small clothes and shoes, all of which are very beautiful in style. Many of them are extremely rare in later generations, and some are almost impossible to find.
She bought seven leather wallets, four for middle-aged men and three for younger men.
Her elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, younger sister, and younger sister-in-law each received a silk scarf and a lipstick, while her younger sister-in-law and younger sister each received an extra Shanghai brand watch. She helped her younger sister-in-law a lot in mailing novels to her.
Dabao picked out a set of clothes, while Tiantian only chose a small skirt. She would directly provide the fabric for his second brother's two sons. She hadn't seen them for a long time and they had trouble judging the sizes. Children would look different after not seeing them for a month, let alone more than a year...
Her mother, Grandma Su, Su's mother and others can choose directly from the retirement home in the space.
Song Chucheng went back after shopping for three hours. It was almost time for the brothers to take a nap. The kids were more important than shopping, so she had to go back and take a nap with them.
Carrying a lot of bags, he found a deserted place, put all the things in his hands into the space, and took the "braid car" back to the previous alley.
She went into the space, removed her makeup, changed back into the clothes she wore at noon, and went to the house opposite hers to look for her two sons.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Rourou sliding down the slide with a loud laugh. Dabai was standing by the side protecting her, fearing that Rourou would fall.
"Mom!" Moo Moo dropped the toy in his hand, stood up from the ground, walked towards her, and hugged her legs: "Brother, brother!"
Song Chucheng bent down, picked him up, and kissed his little face: "Yes! Mommy knows, brother is not well behaved, climb the ladder, mommy will teach him a lesson later."
She had told the two brothers before that they couldn't slide down the slide when their mother was not around. She thought Moo Moo didn't understand. Although she had put the two brothers in a space, she was still watching them with her mind. She knew exactly what they were doing and what they were saying.
Rourou had forgotten his mom told him not to go down the slide, so how could he have known his little brother was going to tell on him?
He got up from the ground, waved his little hands, and walked slowly towards Song Chucheng.
He had only taken a few steps but was still not well behaved. Sometimes he would touch Xiao Hei who was squatting on the ground playing, and sometimes he would hug Er Mao who was eating snacks. When Damao saw Rou Rou coming towards him, he twisted his body and slipped away...
Song Chucheng took his hand and said, "Rou Rou, let's go out!"
He turned around and looked at Da Mao and the others: "Da Mao and Er Mao, go play! We are going out."
Ermao's two little eyes are bright. It's good to go out. Once the poop shoveler goes out, they can go play.
