Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a casual fish

Chapter 12 Sister, listen to my advice!

In the department store, people are coming and going.

But most people just don’t buy it.

Li Weidong had more than 20 yuan in his pocket and thought he had a lot of money in his pocket, so he confidently browsed the products on the counter.

In fact, the variety of products in this era was really limited, and it was just a novelty.

And most of them are daily necessities.

Until he came to the bargaining counter.

After all, there are the most people watching here.

At this time, two foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes were standing in front of the counter, chattering.

To the average citizen, this is definitely a Western view.

However, when Li Weidong saw the prices of the goods on the counter, he took a breath.

Yang Fangfang blushed immediately when she heard what the other party said.

We are all gay, and there is no distinction between high and low professions. Even jobs like theirs are the envy of many people.

Those with thirty-six legs basically only became popular in the mid-to-late 1960s.

But what the hell is a bottle of Moutai worth 16 yuan?

After saying that, Yang Fangfang did not dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.

Hearing Li Weidong's words, even the older woman looked up.

At worst, buy it back and give it a good brush inside and out. Will it still look like new?

Waste of natural resources, what is that?

In his previous life, maybe because he had no money, he was not interested in antiques, collections and the like.

Now, even the younger eldest sister looked at her with a strange expression.

A bed can basically last a lifetime.

In fact, when people in the city get married these days, they will try to get some furniture tickets. No one likes to use old ones.

Are you married and accompanying another man to buy furniture?

And judging from the way the two get along, it's obvious that they are not siblings.

I have no intention of developing this kind of hobby in my life.

Even though the ingredients are not good in the eyes of many people, they still don’t suffer from it. If nothing else is mentioned, they definitely don’t have to worry about eating and drinking.

"Sister, please listen to my advice. This person is not serious enough to live a serious life. Marriage is a lifetime event. Even if you sell it, you still have to buy some property. Why buy old furniture?"

One of the younger ones raised his head and looked at Li Weidong and Yang Fangfang, thinking they were young people who were about to get married.

These include tea, bicycles, wine, watches, sugar, etc.

Li Weidong, on the other hand, doesn't care about this at all.

But nowadays it is not popular to call it an antique, as it is easy to make mistakes.

Yang Fangfang saw that the expressions of the two people were getting more and more wrong, so she hurriedly explained.

On the way here, he heard from Yang Fangfang that only new furniture requires furniture tickets, while old ones do not.

After he left, the older woman couldn't help but speak.

In the 1950s, newlyweds paid attention to the Four Ones when getting married.

"The old furniture is at the end, and there are people over there."

Li Weidongquan pretended not to hear this.

His current identity is that of an ordinary young man who has just come to the city from the countryside. Note: graduated from middle school!

The younger eldest sister was doubtful.

And those chocolate candies, five yuan for a small box?

Who can afford this?

After all, this is not a wedding, so few people come to buy a bed.

"Comrade, you have misunderstood. That is not my partner. I am already married."

In fact, Li Weidong didn't know that this price was normal.

"Who knows who slept on these old pieces of old furniture?"

This is the norm for service workers today.

Li Weidong remembered that Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao's wife, who lived in the backyard, was a standard capitalist.

On the other side, Li Weidong came to the innermost part of the warehouse and saw a little old man sitting on a recliner, humming a tune and tapping the armrest with his fingers, enjoying himself.

What a waste of money for such a beautiful girl.

If you have money, you can go to restaurants every day, even if you don’t have tickets, so what?

"That was my husband's brother just now. He just came to the city and was not familiar with the road, so I brought him here."

Li Weidong saw that Yang Fangfang's eyes were full of desire, but he didn't show any expression.

Compared with the department store counter, the furniture area is obviously much deserted, and it is also in the backyard.

"Comrade, I want to buy a bed and a recliner." Li Weidong couldn't help but said.

The younger sister pointed inside and ignored him.

Seeing this, Li Weidong was not upset.

Is this called cheap?

Because it was a bit cold inside, the two elder sisters sat at the door, knitting sweaters and chatting.

There were not many people in sight in the huge warehouse.

Secondly, she is not his wife, so why should he spoil her?

Because just in the first half of the year, the superiors implemented a high-price strategy for some commodities.

Last year, a bicycle cost 160 yuan, but this year it has risen to 650 yuan, which is jaw-dropping.

Of course, these high-priced goods are mainly targeted at wealthy foreign guests and so-called capitalists.

A bed, a basin, a spittoon, and a kettle.

He also likes to ignore incoming customers.

He listened to the conversation between the two foreigners, and seemed to be complaining that the variety of goods here was too small, and the advantage was that they were cheap.

Isn’t it said that Moutai in this era costs two or three yuan a bottle?

In fact, not only department stores now have ticketless bargaining counters, some high-end restaurants also adopt this strategy.

As for now, let's make do with it.

It is specially set up for foreign guests and foreigners, and no tickets are required.

So, after asking the salesperson where the furniture was, I went straight there.

Buying used furniture for your wedding?

The two waiters came closer and started talking in a low voice.

It is normal not to understand foreign languages.

He understands the bargaining counter.

The older woman, on the other hand, looked like I had already seen through it all and there was no way you could deceive me.

It is said that no matter how much money you have these days, it is useless. Now, Li Weidong has deep doubts about this statement.

"The old one!" Li Weidong said again before the other party could speak.

The so-called old furniture is actually antique.

For 99% of people, it is difficult to move without a ticket.

The first is poverty and no money.

But if there is a chance in the future, you can plant some red sandalwood and huanghuali trees in the game farm. When they are mature, you can find someone to build a batch of furniture and give the old lady a new recliner.

Li Weidong stopped holding Yang Fangfang.

In his last life, Li Weidong's English was at least good enough to communicate with foreigners. Of course, some gestures were indispensable for this.

Suddenly, the two of them ignited a raging fire of gossip.

Although we are in the 1960s now, we have just gone through difficult times, and no one's family is well off.

Contempt was written all over her face.

It's just that the back figure looks a little embarrassed.

"I'll go over and take a look. You don't have to accompany me. You can go shopping by yourself."

Behind him is a pile of messy furniture, which can be said to be of all kinds and has everything.

And judging by the thickness of the dust on it, it's obvious that no one has been there for a while.

"Is there a better bed here?" Li Weidong asked.

When the little old man heard the sound, he opened his eyes and looked up and down.
