Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Bingcheng Department Store has been in existence since 1947 and was the largest state-owned department store in the country at that time.

The five-story building houses goods from all over the country.

The family walked into the store and were immediately stunned by the dazzling array of goods there.

There were endless counters and people everywhere.

Two particularly long iron pipes were placed across the shelves, and all kinds of clothes were hung on them.

There is an entire wall of rarely seen polyester cool shirts hanging here, in all different colors and styles.

No wonder the ticket scalper just now said that these are the most fashionable clothes in the country.

It's really not an exaggeration at all.

"Brother, I want to buy a polyester cool shirt and a pair of leather shoes."

Not to mention a woman like Chu Xinyan, even Li Youjie felt a desire to buy at this moment.

"Dad, I want new clothes too." Duoduo hugged Li Youcai's neck and shouted expectantly.

Although Chu Xinyan didn't say anything, her eyes kept wandering over those beautiful clothes.

Li Youcai naturally saw it.

"Buy. Let's buy everything we like. If we don't have enough cloth coupons, we can go out and exchange them later."

Li Youcai held Duoduo in his arms and walked inside with big strides.

The First Department Store, as the largest store in the province, is crowded with people every day.

There were people stopping in front of almost every counter.

Li Youcai and his friends looked around as they walked.

In a stall selling women's clothing, a wool coat with a fur collar caught Chu Xinyan's attention. She stopped in front of the counter and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The salesperson at the counter was very alert and approached immediately: "Which one do you like? Let me show it to you."

"These are products from Ningcheng Garment Factory. The workmanship is excellent."

The dress looked nice, but Chu Xinyan was worried that it was too expensive and was reluctant to spend the money.

"I'm just taking a look." After saying that, Chu Xinyan wanted to leave.

Li Youcai knew that Chu Xinyan was like this and was used to being frugal.

So he pulled Chu Xinyan and pointed at the woolen coat she had been staring at just now.

"Could you please show us this dress?"

"You have really good taste. This coat is a new arrival and it's selling like hotcakes."

The saleswoman took the coat with a bamboo pole with a hook and placed it on the counter in front of Chu Xinyan.

"Look, this fabric is made entirely of wool, the collar is made of mink fur, and the lining is padded and thickened. I guarantee you won't feel cold at all in winter. Touch it, it feels so smooth."

The salesperson introduced it to Chu Xinyan enthusiastically.

Looking at such a nice dress, Chu Xinyan really likes it, but she can tell at a glance that this dress must not be cheap.

I didn't touch it.

"If you like it, try it on." Li Youcai grabbed the clothes with one hand and handed them to Chu Xinyan.

"Don't get it dirty." Chu Xinyan didn't want to try it.

"What's the harm in trying it on? You can try on any of our clothes. It doesn't matter if you don't buy them. Just give them a try." The salesperson enthusiastically invited Chu Xinyan to try them on.

After hearing this, Chu Xinyan took the clothes, took off her jacket, and carefully put on the wool coat.

"Mom is so beautiful!"

Duoduo looked at her mother who had changed into new clothes and clapped her hands happily.

Li Youcai also thought it looked pretty good.

Chu Xinyan, who is naturally beautiful, looks even more noble in this fur-collared wool coat.

"Does it look good?" Chu Xinyan asked Li Youcai shyly.

"nice!"

Li Youcai nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

Li Youjie came running over from not far away and said to Li Youcai anxiously, "Brother, give me two cloth coupons. I've picked out a cool polyester shirt."

"Huh? Sister-in-law, you look really good in this dress."

Li Youcai took out two cloth coupons and gave them to Li Youjie.

Li Youjie also had money on him, so he didn't need Li Youcai to give him extra money to buy clothes.

"Salesperson, how much is this dress?" Li Youcai asked.

"10 feet of cloth coupons, an additional 180 yuan." The salesperson replied in a crisp voice.

This is too expensive!

The expensive price scared Chu Xinyan.

Based on the current monthly salary of 36 yuan for an average worker, this piece of clothing would cost nearly half a year's salary.

Or the kind that doesn't eat or drink.

If calculated based on the work points earned from farming, Chu Xinyan would have to work for two years to barely be able to afford it.

Be good~!

Chu Xinyan immediately took it off and returned the clothes.

But before Chu Xinyan could unbutton her clothes, Li Youcai took the initiative and said to the salesperson, "We want this dress."

"No, it's too expensive."

"Sorry, we don't want it." Chu Xinyan felt sorry for the money and quickly told the salesperson that she didn't want it.

180 yuan is almost enough to buy a sewing machine!

Li Youcai took out the money and counted out 18 Great Unity notes, along with two cloth coupons, and put them on the counter.

"I want this one."

The salesperson laughed and hurriedly collected the money and counted it.

"Look at your family of three, you look so blessed."

"Do you want me to help you pack up your cotton-padded jackets? You can go out in your new clothes."

"Okay." Li Youcai nodded.

To be honest, this is worthy of being the largest department store in Heilongjiang Province.

It's not just a lot of merchandise.

More importantly, the service attitude of the salespersons here is indeed much better.

Compared to those guys out there who have stable jobs and look down on others all day long, they are much better.

"Comrade, we have some new wool sweaters here. They're warm and nice looking. Would you like to try them?"

I had just taken out a big paper bag to pack my clothes when the salesperson started making recommendations again.

Li Youcai thought about it and it made sense. Even if the wool coat was padded and thickened, he still needed to wear some warm clothes.

"Okay, show us two."

"White crocheted wool sweater, 12 yuan."

"Okay, I bought it."

"This navy blue one matches the coat, and it's 13 dollars."

“I bought it too.”

Li Youcai grabbed the sweater and compared it with Chu Xinyan to measure the size. He felt that both clothes were pretty good.

Seeing Li Youcai spending money recklessly, Chu Xinyan hurriedly said, "Just buy one. Buying two is just a waste of money."

"Two to alternate."

After paying promptly, Li Youcai picked up the bag and continued his shopping spree.

Duoduo likes the yellow flower skirt.

buy!

Bow hairpin.

buy!

Small leather shoes.

buy!

Ten five-foot cloth coupons were indeed not enough, just as the ticket seller had said.

When he came out of the department store, Li Youjie changed into a handsome suit and put on a woolen coat, looking very British.

Just like those agents in the movie "Secret Service".

But the bag he was carrying on his back looked a little out of place.

Duoduo changed into a nice sweater and a bright red cotton jacket, and put on a pair of black calfskin shoes, looking extremely beautiful.

Chu Xinyan was wearing a wool coat with a mink fur collar, black suit pants, and a pair of low-heeled black leather boots.

Standing at the door of the department store, he attracted countless people's attention.

When Chu Xinyan came out of the department store, she was completely dazed.

If it weren't for the fact that the family had really made a lot of money during this period, she would never allow Li Youcai to spend money so lavishly.

These beautiful clothes are really beautiful when worn on her body. But when I think about the money she spent, I really feel sorry for her.

"Let's go back. I don't want to hang out anymore."

"Why are you worried about the money?" Li Youcai chuckled and then said, "But even if you want to go shopping, you can't. It's not convenient to carry so many bags."
