Rebirth of the Burning Era

Binhai City Department Store, on the second floor of a non-staple food specialty store, there was a middle-aged man who was limping around in front of the counter. Look at the young man who is the secretary.

The waiter hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile, "Hello, leader, we have..."

"You don't have all the goods here."

Jin, the elder of the propaganda section of the cannery who has been recuperating because of the old cold legs, waved his hand, "The material needs of the people are increasing day by day, so your shopping malls should keep up."

"Leader, we have a lot of products here, which one do you want, I'll help you find it." The waiter said.

"Cough cough, our chief used to be in the army and liked to eat canned beef that was specially provided in-house. The taste and quality are much better than the canned food on the market, but I didn't see it when I walked around here." The young secretary said low said.

"Internal special supply? This..." The waiter asked suspiciously, "Which brand are you talking about?"

The little secretary was about to speak, but the old chief waved his hand again: "Xiao Zhang, don't make specialization. It's fine if they don't sell it here, let's go to other places to see."

Saying that, he limped away from the counter.

…

The first agricultural and non-staple food market in Binhai City, a store specializing in canned food, candied fruit and dry goods.

"Mom, I want to eat canned food!"

The little boy who was talking looked like he was six or seven years old. He was as fat as a pig, but he was still being held by his mother with great difficulty, showing that he was extremely spoiled.

"Okay, okay, mom bought you canned food. Boss, what canned food do you have?"

The store owner wore white sleeves and said with a smile, "Hey, you're right, my family has the best canned food in the whole market! Pears, apples, peaches, bayberry... "

The little boss was also lip-smacking, his fingers slid over the shelf full of cans behind him, and he said a long list of dishes as if he were reporting the name of the dishes.

"Mom, I want to eat everything." The fat little pig licked his fingers and looked greedy.

"Sister, if you buy more than five bottles, I will give you a discount." The boss said with a face of business experience, "Canned food is not bad, you can eat it slowly when you buy it back."

The woman holding the child hesitated for a moment, and said uneasy: "There are too many preservatives in canned food. I heard that it is not sanitary. They use rotten peaches to spoil apples, and there are a lot of chemical additives."

After ten years of reform and opening up, people's living standards have improved, and they have begun to pursue the quality of life. The qigong craze and health care product craze have gradually risen, and people are paying more and more attention to their own health.

There were seven or eight customers in the sales department, and when they heard this, they all looked back.

The little boss's face sank: "Sister, don't talk nonsense if you don't buy it, we are all from regular manufacturers!"

"Do you have the kind of canned food that is specially provided by the army?" The eldest sister said, "My lover is a retired army officer. In the past, the army made canned food. Our big treasure ate it and it was nutritious and delicious. Look at how white and fat he looks. Yes, do you have any at home?"

"Sister, you're just kidding me. I'm not an army. How can I have an army? It's not a reselling of military supplies." The little boss said.

"My lover said that the canned food of the army is also sold in the market, but it is relatively rare and popular." The eldest sister seemed to be worried about the health of her baby son, and shook her head: "Forget it, I'd better look at a few more."

…

"Hello, this is the customer service department of Asia Mall, I'm the operator, I'm very happy to serve you!"

The Asia shopping mall, which originated in Zhengzhou at the earliest, cannot be compared with the department stores with strong background in national chains for the time being in terms of scale and financial resources.

But when it comes to service quality, Binhai Asia Mall deserves to be the first in the city and even in the province.

In the days when most of the counter waiters were still shy of customers, Asia established the "smile service" and put forward the slogan of "home away from home", and the service attitude was better than that of flight attendants.

It is also the first shopping mall in the province to open a telephone service department.

"Hey, do you have canned food in your store? It's the kind of tin packaged food with a five-pointed star! By the way, it was provided to the troops in the past." On the other end of the phone, someone with a strong Shanghai accent asked. .

The operator was very skilled in business, and after a bit of thinking, he said, "Hello, we have more than 20 kinds of canned food from various manufacturers, most of which are made of iron. But there is no five-pointed star like you mentioned, it is for the army."

"Huh? I heard that you have it! Do you check it again? I promised to bring it to my relatives and friends!"

"I'm sorry sir, can you tell me the specific brand?"

"I can't remember, it's the kind with a five-pointed star and a few words for it inside."

…

…

During this period, with Binhai City as the center, large shopping malls, non-staple food markets, and large and small retail stores in several major cities in Nanjiang Province have successively discovered new 'business opportunities'.

There seems to be a canned food with a five-pointed star printed on the market that is specially supplied to the army. It is very popular, and consumers often call or come to inquire in person.

But the strange thing is that there is no way to purchase the goods.

At this time, the Nanjiang Provincial Daily published an advertisement on the second page. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

It is not surprising that advertisements appear in newspapers. Newspapers rely on this to make money. Every newspaper has dozens or even hundreds of advertisements on several pages every day.

The strange thing is the ad itself!

There is no content, just a big five-pointed star.

Nanjiang Daily has 8 pages and dozens of news advertisements, big and small, but this advertisement is the most attractive.

Because it's the strangest, nothing.

It is not uncommon to see people with two legs, but it is absolutely unforgettable to see people with four legs, so curious!

I have never seen such news, let alone such an advertisement.

what does it mean?

These days, entertainment activities are very limited. One of the most common things people do at work is to drink tea and read newspapers. Almost every unit will order several newspapers, and local daily newspapers are even more essential.

Just this five-pointed star has suddenly become a major piece of 'news' in Nanjiang Province. I don't know how many offices and homes are talking about this strange advertisement.

On the second day, there was an extra line of words above the five-pointed star.

"In-house special supply, military quality!"

The content is a little richer, but I still don't know what it is?

On the third day, these eight characters appeared on the previous pattern, with the small characters "Delicious, Nutritious, Hygienic and Safe".

Oh, I see, it should be eaten.

So many people began to guess what it was, and the answers were varied. Some people in the same unit also gambled on tobacco and alcohol.

On the fourth day, the answer was finally announced.

A can, a simple but textured tin can, uniformly printed with a star, and below it are four small characters of "internal special supply".

There is also a contact number.
