"I want to see if there is any red material so that I can make a coat for my lover to wear on the wedding day."

Although Xie Beichen seemed a bit cold and unapproachable, he was well versed in getting along with others. Naturally, he also knew how to make the most of the two people in front of him to achieve his goal as quickly as possible.

It is not market day, so most of the cloths on the counter in the supply and marketing cooperative are gray in color. Not to mention the red color they want now, even some other yellow and green materials are nowhere to be seen.

The entire counter seemed to be covered with a layer of gray fog, and everything looked gray.

"But it seems that there is none..." Xie Beichen glanced at the counter with regret. After all, this place is located in the northern border, and the resources that can be allocated are really limited.

"Comrade, if you want to talk about red material suitable for making coats now, we do have some here. It is definitely good stuff, but a little expensive."

One of the saleswomen was a slightly short and plump one, who looked kind and enthusiastic. She liked the young couple in front of her who looked very pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but want to solve their problems.

"It's wool imported from SL. We were allocated ten feet of it. The textile factory took two feet before. The remaining eight feet is definitely enough to make a coat for your lover."

"Yes, the things are really good. But they are a little too expensive. There are quite a few people in our county who like them, but when they think about the price, they are reluctant to part with them."

The tall salesperson next to them also nodded repeatedly and stood aside to help his colleagues explain to Xie Beichen and the others.

"That material has been here for quite some time. A few days ago, the leader said that if it doesn't work, we should take it back and exchange it for some other fabric. It would also save it from gathering dust here. It would be a pity to waste it."

"Can you bring it here for us to see?" Xie Beichen did not ask the price, but asked the two salesmen with interest on his face.

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the warehouse and get it for you." The fat salesperson couldn't help but laugh when she heard that Xie Beichen was interested. She really didn't make a mistake in this young man. He was handsome and had a good personality. The most important thing was that he was not like some other gay men who looked generous but were actually very stingy.

She went in quickly and came out quickly.

After a while, he came out holding a piece of cloth wrapped in oil paper and placed it carefully on the counter.

"Look, the quality of this material is absolutely impeccable. The most important thing is the color, it's bright red, so festive!"

"How much is it? We want it." Xie Beichen only took a look at the quality of the cloth and reached out to take out the money and ticket without any hesitation.

"This material is one dollar a foot, and I have a cloth coupon for twelve feet."

The salesperson's offer made Ruan Yu, who was standing next to Xie Beichen, gasp. There must be a reason why this material was so good but had been left here for so long without anyone buying it.

She still had some impression in her mind. Normally, they could buy almost three feet of cotton cloth for one dollar, and it didn't even cost three feet of cloth coupons. But this material cost one and a half feet of cloth coupons for one foot, which was really too extravagant.

"Okay." Xie Beichen didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even give Ruan Yu time to object. He took out the cloth coupons and money and handed them to the salesperson in front of him who was already smiling like a flower: "Please help us pack it more tightly."

"Okay!" The tall salesperson came over swiftly to pack the materials and accepted Xie Beichen's request very enthusiastically.

After the deal is completed, their team will have a chance to be selected as the sales model of the month. If you do the math, they can get a lot of bonuses, which will allow them to have more money on hand when they buy New Year's goods.

"By the way, comrade, can you buy big items like bicycles here?" After Xie Beichen paid the money, while waiting for the tall salesperson to help him pack the goods, he whispered to the slightly plump salesperson standing in front of him.

"Of course we can, but we have to reserve in advance. Our Hongqi County is not big, and there are not many people who purchase such large items. So if necessary, we have to transfer them from other places." The short and fat salesperson's surname was Song. She only listened to Xie Beichen's question and she keenly understood his intention.

"We sell not only bicycles, but also sewing machines, radios, watches and so on. But right now, except for watches, I'm afraid all other items have to be reserved."

When Xie Beichen just paid, Song Hongxing noticed the thick stack of bills in his hand.

When she saw Xie Beichen's military uniform with four pockets, she became even more respectful and serious. Even when she introduced things, she seemed to be more careful and patient than before.

"Are there any ladies' watches?" When Xie Beichen heard that there were watches in this supply and marketing cooperative, he immediately became interested and asked.

"It just so happens that we have a Shanghai brand ladies' watch here. Last week, an officer from the Armed Forces Department came over and bought another men's watch. This ladies' watch has actually been in our possession for quite some time."

Without Xie Beichen asking for anything, Song Hongxing quickly turned around and went back into the warehouse. After a while, he came out with the box containing the watches, opened it and placed it in front of Xie Beichen and the others.

"Look, this is the latest model this year." Song Hongxing looked up with a smile and glanced with envy at Ruan Yu, who had been standing next to the man and had not spoken much since she entered the door. This girl is so lucky to have a lover who cares about her so much.

"Okay, I'll take this." Xie Beichen seemed to sense that Ruan Yu was about to stop him, and he showed her the watch on his wrist without waiting for Ruan Yu to speak: "The great man said that men and women should be equal, so this way we can each have one!"

Ruan Yu was amused by Xie Beichen's explanation, but she also understood that the watch was a token of his love, so she did not try to refuse it in a pretentious manner.

She just let Xie Beichen skillfully check the time and then put the watch directly on her wrist.

Xie Beichen had just taken out the receipt and money for buying a watch when his attention was attracted by the movement of the tall salesperson next to him.

"Hey, let me take a look at this material. I was just thinking about making a coat for Qiya since the New Year is coming soon. This color is great. Look at this red color, so festive!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, there were two short-haired aunties wearing leather boots and dressed very smartly. One of them said this while rudely reaching out to grab the woolen material that was being half-packed by the tall salesperson, and at the same time she smiled and introduced her intention to buy the material to another woman walking beside her.
