The shop door opened early in the morning, and then there were neatly hung ready-made clothes. The ironed clothes were placed in the most conspicuous place at the door. The location of their shop is very good, at the crossroads, and it is well connected.
It is the peak time for workers to go to work. On the left side of the shop is a pawnshop. Looking at the old door frame and the pawn, it is obviously quite old. The owner of the pawnshop is the old man Zhang. Their Zhang family has been doing the pawnshop business in this old street. They had difficulties in the early years, but they renovated the shop in recent years and continued to open it. It can be regarded as their old business.
On the right is a small photo studio. Unlike the prosperous photo studio on Nanjing Road, this one is small and looks old. As for the machines inside, I don’t know how many years they have been used. The previous generation opened a photo studio here and it has been running until this generation.
Because they are all owned by the family, there is no rent. In addition, the living conditions of people in this area are not very good, so the things sold in the shops in this area are not expensive. Take the photo studio for example. If you go to the prosperous Nanjing Road photo studio to take a photo, it will cost 1.2 to 1.8 yuan! If it is a slightly better large photo, it will cost more.
But this photo studio was different. An An also knew the owner, Cheng Yanqiang, who had greeted her at the door of her shop before. Their ancestors were also rich, but it was not so when it came to her father's generation.
Her father was old and his mind was clearer. He spent all the family's belongings to buy a camera, tinkered with it at home, and barely opened a photo studio. In this era, photo studios were rare shops. After the storefront was opened, they could survive and not starve. This generation had been running the shop from the previous generation to Cheng Yanqiang's generation. He had been running the shop for many years!
For Cheng Yanqiang, the photo studio was left to him by his father, and the cameras were all antiques. He didn't spend much money on it, and lived on his ancestors' things, so his fees were relatively low, usually 50 or 80 cents per photo, which was enough to make back the money for the film, and to have enough food and clothing! Just enough for him to smoke a cigarette.
Right in front of the store, on the side of the street, there were two stoves with charcoal fire in the stoves and a lot of hot pot stickers! People who live in this area of the old street, when they pass by the stall selling hotpot stickers on their way to work in the morning, will basically stay and buy two. The hotpot stickers are not expensive, only 20 cents a piece and they are enough to fill you up. It can be said that people have been eating these hotpot stickers for many years!
It was early in the morning, when the intersection was busiest. People stopped to watch the shop that had been closed for a long time suddenly reopened and displayed many new styles. They were immediately intimidated. A young girl who was waiting for hot pot stickers was wearing a Dacron plaid shirt, which was quite trendy. She curiously asked the owner of the hot pot stickers, "Auntie, why is there a ready-made clothing store here?" Auntie
Hao, who was selling hot pot stickers, reached her hand into the boiling stove, turned it around, and took it out in the blink of an eye. A hot pot sticker came out with a smile on his face, explaining, "The boss just came to clean up the shop a few days ago and opened early this morning. I heard that their ready-made clothes are much cheaper than those in the store. You girls are all playful, you can go in and take a look. Not only may you find clothes you like, but you can also save a lot of money!"
When Aunt Hao said this, the girl was immediately interested. She worked in a state-owned hotel, but it was true that the waiters in the hotel, and it could be said that the guests who could eat in the state-owned hotel, basically had some money and were very wealthy.
The waiters are all pretty girls in their 17s and 18s, who love to be cute and beautiful. In the past, if they wanted to go to the store to buy a nice piece of clothing, they had to save up their wages for a long time. Now a new store has suddenly opened, and they can’t wait to see the clothes hanging at the door! They
are immediately tempted, and it’s not just the girl who is tempted! When Auntie Hao was explaining to the girl, the people who were buying hot pot stickers were listening! Many people were tempted at once, but they had to go to work and really had no time.
But the clothes hanging there were so tempting that the girl couldn't help herself. She put the hot pot stickers in her pocket and ran to the clothing store. With one person taking the lead, the rest followed. Some of them looked at their watches and found that they still had a long time to go to work! They
immediately rushed to the store!
According to Li Jingyue's plan, there would be few customers to buy clothes even if the clothing store opened so early, but An An insisted on opening the store before the workers started work. Look! No one came in for more than half an hour.
Li Jingyue felt that An An was just a little kid after all, a little reckless, and didn't know common sense. At this moment, everyone was rushing to work, so they had no time to look at clothes. But when he got to the back, he was surprised. When a little girl with a big braid came in, it was like a gate opened suddenly, and then the second, third, fourth and even more came in.
After a short while, the small shop was squeezed tightly together. An An was wearing a youthful yellow three-quarter-sleeved short top with a pair of nine-point flared pants. An An's skin was relatively fair to begin with, and the bright color made the girl look youthful, tender and graceful, especially when the nine-point pants reached the hems, revealing her thin and delicate ankles, which was even more eye-catching.
When the girl with a pigtail came in, she immediately took a liking to the yellow shorts that An An was wearing. They were exquisite and fashionable. Her eyes lit up, and she walked up to An An and asked, "Do you still have this dress you're wearing?"
An An smiled and pointed to the shelf next to her, "Yes, it's hanging there!"
The girl quickly took a dress from the shelf, stood in front of a mirror that was as tall as a person and looked at it. She nodded happily and asked, "How much?"
"Eleven dollars for a set, and six dollars for each piece." This is already a conscience price. If it was in the previous store, this set alone would cost at least fifteen dollars. What's more, the set she was wearing was much better than those clothes in terms of both material and style!
After hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up first, then dimmed. She also often went to the store to shop. The price was indeed much different, and the material of the clothes felt cool and comfortable.
Thinking of the salary she had just received yesterday, she gritted her teeth and said, "Boss, give me a set!"
An An smiled and led the girl to the counter. Today, Lu Yan was free and was responsible for collecting money here. Not to mention, there were more women's clothes in their shop, and many girls came in and spotted Lu Yan at a glance. His angular face was tightly tied at this time, and he became more handsome. It really confirmed the saying that his eyes were like stars and he was extraordinary.
When the little girl walked to the counter to pay, her face was flushed, she lowered her head and dared not look at anyone, hesitantly, "I...I want to pay the bill!"
Lu Yan's eyes darkened, and a hint of danger flashed across them. He finally understood why An An had to put herself in the position of paying the bill so early in the morning. This is how feelings are used!
