After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

After packing up their things, they immediately rushed to the department store in the provincial capital.

Lan Fucai was looking at the surrounding scenery and shops curiously along the way, and uttered a few exclamations from time to time.

"Times are changing so fast. When I was young, I also came to the provincial capital. At that time, the streets were full of state-owned shops, not like now, where there are so many individual shops."

As he said this, he shook his head, lamenting that the times are changing too fast.

I was also surprised that some state-owned stores were closed.

He just passed by a state-owned restaurant that he remembered. It was empty inside, but the small private restaurants around it were packed with people.

Yu County is a small place. Even though privately-owned shops have sprung up in the past two years, they are still rare in the entire county. Most local people still trust the state-owned industries that have been bought for a long time. This is the first time Lan Fucai has seen privately-owned shops squeeze out state-owned shops.

No, this kind of situation can also be seen in Yu County. The group buying of vegetables organized by Lan Xin and others has squeezed out the vegetable sales of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city.

Maybe in the future, Lan Xin and her friends will be able to get this group of vegetable buyers started and really force the vegetable company out of business.

Lan Fucai couldn't help but look back at Lan Xin, feeling that young people have more ideas and more energy.

Lan Xin was also surprised. It had only been a while since she last saw them, but there were many new shops opened on the provincial capital road. One of them even sold electrical appliances brought from the south.

The two looked at each other and went into the store to take a look. This store sold everything from televisions, washing machines, refrigerators to radios.

The store was packed with people, all of whom were there to buy these electrical appliances, and from time to time you could hear the boss's voice greeting them.

"Look everyone, these are all the goods I brought in from the south. The styles are the latest and you can buy them without a ticket."

When Lan Fucai heard this, he immediately looked towards the TV. His family had really wanted a TV, but it was a pity that this thing could only be bought with a ticket.

Now that he finally saw a TV that he could buy without a ticket, he was a little excited and asked quickly.

"Does this TV really not require a ticket? How much is one?"

"This 14-inch TV is 800 yuan, no ticket required."

The boss took a break from his busy schedule to reply to Lan Fucai. His attitude was better than that of the salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative, but he didn't care much about Lan Fucai as a customer. He looked as if he didn't care whether Lan Fucai wanted to buy or not. Anyway, goods like televisions were very popular and his store often didn't have enough to sell.

When Lan Fucai heard that the TV set cost 800 yuan without a ticket, he was tempted, but then he thought that building a greenhouse only cost 800 yuan per acre, so it would be better to build a greenhouse and make money with the money.

Lan Fucai was thinking carefully.

Lan Xin's eyes also fell on the TV set placed behind the sales counter. She was interested in the color TV, but this color TV was not cheap, costing two or three hundred yuan more than the black and white one.

She had the same idea as Lan Fucai. The current TV channels only had the same stuff. Instead of using the money to buy a TV, she might as well use it to make bed sheets and furniture for the hotel.

At least 1000 yuan can be used to prepare all the bed sheets and curtains for the hotel.

Both of them put their hands behind their backs, walked into the store and walked around, only continuing to walk out after they had feasted their eyes.

Along the way, I slowly saw the department store in the provincial capital. There were also TVs in the mall, but they still required tickets. The price was the same as that in the store outside, 800 yuan plus a TV ticket.

"The price is the same. If I want to buy this, I will definitely buy it in a store outside." Lan Fucai couldn't help but say that just buying the TV and the plane ticket would cost one or two hundred yuan.

Lan Xin nodded. Now private shops outside department stores have become people’s best choice.

Finally, Lan Fucai took out his shopping list and bought two large bags of things, big and small, before stopping. Looking at Lan Xin, who only had a few things in her hand, he asked a little embarrassedly.

"Sure, you don't want to buy anything?"

"Buy it, but not here." Lan Xin smiled at him, a smile that Lan Fucai could not understand.

It was not until he saw Lan Xin spend money to buy two second-hand bicycles that he could not help but beat his chest and stamp his feet.

"Oh, if I had known there were used bicycles for sale here, I would have never bought anything else and saved up the money."

This is a second-hand car dealership with neatly arranged bicycles. Some of these bicycles look new while others look tattered.

The price varies with the newness of the bike, but it is still several dozen yuan cheaper than other brand new bikes, and no tickets are required. Lan Fucai was envious.

He was not thinking about whether it was a brand new or a second-hand bicycle. Having a bicycle was very prestigious these days, no matter how well it was bought.

Lan Xin scratched his temples a little embarrassedly. It was only after he asked Li Jia about the news that he found out that there was a regular second-hand car shop in the provincial capital.

Nanjing University is too big. Students living in the dormitory often have to cross most of the campus to go to the teaching building for classes. Moreover, the school is remote and they need to take a bus to go into the city, which is not very convenient.

So some smart people opened a second-hand bicycle shop near the school, which not only sells second-hand bicycles but also rents bicycles.

Lan Xin was short of money and needed to save money, so her first thought when buying a car was to buy a second-hand bicycle.

After all, this bicycle will be used for delivering goods in the future, and she would be reluctant to buy it if it is too good or too expensive.

Now in this second-hand bike shop, he can get two Phoenix brand bicycles that are 230% new for only yuan.

After the garage owner inspected and repaired the bicycle from top to bottom, he repainted it according to Lan Xin's request, replaced some old parts, and added two brand new bells for free.

With the extra 10 bucks, these two bikes are no different from brand new ones, and they even look more fashionable.

Lan Fucai was so excited that he looked up and down the bicycle, the paint of which had not yet dried, and his eyes were almost glued to it.

Lan Xin couldn't help but said with a smile: "Uncle Fucai, why don't you buy a bicycle? If you are short of money, I can lend you some."

Nan Fucai hesitated for a moment, looked at the full stack of things in her hands, thought about it and shook her head.

"Forget it. I've bought so many things now. I don't use the bicycle much at home. The store is right here anyway. I can just buy it when I need it."

"Haha, this old man is right. My shop is right here. If you want to buy a car in the future, just come directly to me." The owner of the used car shop greeted warmly.
