The department store was like an iron triangle on the northeast corner of the Grand Cross Street.
Although it was called a department store, it only operated on the first floor, and it had nothing to do with the China department store under the real trade bureau.
There were no more than 10 department stores in the country, and in the era of centralized marketing, they were qualified to purchase from the first level wholesale station.
The county-level supply and marketing cooperatives needed to purchase from the second or third level wholesale station.
The lower the level of the wholesale channel, the more limited the supply of goods, and the more expensive the price.
With the development of the private economy, this kind of model basically disappeared in the coastal areas in the late 1970s. Many supply and marketing units would buy low-priced goods from privately run collective enterprises.
Only the central and western regions, where the private economy was not developed, continued this procurement model until the early 1980s.
The so-called second floor was only on the east side, and the west side was a large bungalow. It should be the office of the leader.
On the west side, there was a display window, which was the non-staple food department, selling cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, and snacks.
The northernmost side was the back door that Li He had just passed by. Inside was a large courtyard, which was the place where the employees had to pass to and from work. The goods from the department store warehouse were also transported from there.
At the entrance of the department store, there were many people holding cardboard boxes to rent out and sell comic books, surrounded by a circle of children.
In the era of material and spiritual life, comic books became the best companion for children to obtain knowledge and entertainment.
Li He asked Four, "Do you want to buy it?"
Four said, "It's to coax children, it's boring."
In the department store, there were shelves along the walls, and in front of the shelves were naturally counters.
There were small hardware tools such as pliers, nails, stationery such as notebooks and pens, and large furniture, bicycles, sewing machines, etc.
In order to make it convenient to receive and change money, there were iron wires above each set of counters. The iron wires were strung with iron clamps, and the receipts and money flew around the iron clamps. It was quite a spectacular sight.
Li He first checked the tickets in his hand, and went to the counters one by one to buy the goods. He never thought of keeping the tickets in his hand.
Previously in Beijing, although he did not lack tickets, it was too troublesome to take the train thousands of miles back.
Now that he had money and tickets, and he was close to home, he could carry a few more woven bags home.
First, they started from the clothing and cloth counter. The cloth cabinet was filled with various colors of cloth, and the salesperson often held a wooden ruler in his hand.
Li He immediately gave the ticket to the salesperson. "Comrade, I want to buy these."
Li He asked Four to choose a bright color. Four said, "Brother, isn't that too much?"
The salesperson reported the price of each cloth and asked Li He with uncertainty, "Comrade, even if I give you the cheapest coarse cloth, it will still cost more than 200 yuan. Do you have that much money? Don't tease me. "
Li He pulled out a bunch of money like a nouveau riche. "Comrade, feel free to measure."
The salesperson looked at the big bundle on the table and was shocked. It wasn't that she hadn't seen extravagant people before, but she had never seen someone spend so much money at one time. He even let a young lady choose the fabric. Wasn't this a joke?
However, in the end, he still measured the cloth that Four chose. He used a pair of scissors to cut a small opening, and then tore it with both hands. The sound was very pleasant.
Then the abacus crackled. "Comrade, that's a total of 375 yuan and 30 cents."
Li He then went to the other counters. From shoes, nail clippers, ashtrays, stationery, pencils, electrical plugs, as long as he had tickets in his hand, he bought them all.
From the moment Li He started buying cloth, many people had been secretly paying attention. Many people slowly calculated in their hearts. From the moment he entered the door until now, he had bought at least 1,000 yuan worth of items. They could not help but be speechless.
When Bian Mei came to find him, Li He already had two big woven bags in his hands, and they were both filled to the brim.
Bian Mei stopped Li He, who was bursting with buying desire, and asked in a low voice, "You still want to buy? I just heard that a rich family came to the mall and bought everything he saw. I didn't expect it to be you. "
Li He looked around at the gazes that were staring at him and felt that he was a little too excited. He hurriedly brought Four out of the mall.
Li He said to Bian Mei, "I haven't bought everything yet."
Bian Mei said in disbelief, "You're still buying? I'm going to let you use that ticket for a few years. "
Li He nodded and gave the money and tickets to Four. "Go to the grocery store and buy some candy. I'll go buy cigarettes and alcohol."
Li He turned around and used all the cigarettes and alcohol tickets to buy high-end Maotai and Zhonghua. Just a bottle of Maotai cost 3.50 yuan, and he also bought four bottles and six cartons of cigarettes.
Bian Mei saw that Li He and his sister had bought good things, and the word 'shock' in her heart could not be used to describe it. Spending a few years' worth of other people's wages in one go was not something that an ordinary person could do. Thus, she asked, "Aren't you in school? Where did you get the money from? It's not like I don't know about your family situation. "
Li He tidied up the things in the bag and said with a smile, "Don't we have the school allowance? I've been saving it for a few years. But I still have to thank you. If I didn't meet you, I wouldn't be able to spend money even if I had money. "
Bian Mei said unhappily, "But you can't spend it like that. No family can't afford to be so rich."
"It's okay. I'll start working after the New Year, so I'll be able to move on."
Bian Mei suddenly said enviously, "You university students are so good. No matter what job you get, you can still get a house and a high salary. You're better than us in everything."
Li He said, "It's not certain yet. Look, it's almost noon. I'll treat you to a meal. Are there any private restaurants here? Let's go and have a meal. "
Bian Mei said disdainfully, "What private restaurants? Don't think that those black-hearted private restaurants are good now. They might be closed down one day. What good can come from speculating and profiteering? Let's go to a state-owned restaurant. I like the boiled fish fillet there the most. It's slippery and delicious. I have a ticket and I know all the chefs there. Let's go, follow me. "
Li He couldn't continue the conversation, so he could only follow behind.
The state-owned restaurant was just two streets away from the department store. There was also a Halal restaurant opposite.
The state-owned restaurant was quite a big place. To be able to hold a wedding banquet in such a place was already considered to be very high-end.
On the left side of the entrance was the ticket counter. You have to pay for everything you eat here and then go to the food outlets to exchange for your food. No one will serve you.
The restaurant was filled with fog. There were many people sitting around and many of the tables were filled with steaming pots.
Finding an empty seat, Li He said, "Give me the ticket. I'll go and get the bill. What do you want to eat?"
Bian Mei said, "No need. I'll call someone over."
Bian Mei waved her hand and a young girl wearing an apron ran over. She smiled and said, "Sister Mei, you haven't been here for a long time. What do you want to eat today? I'll fix it for you."
Bian Mei skillfully listed a few dishes and turned to ask Li He, "What else do you want to eat? Just order. "
Li He said, "Let's add some braised pork. It's enough for the three of us."
After the young girl turned and left, Li He said, "You seem to be quite familiar with this place. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to recognize you."
