Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 184 The Panicked Woman

Shanghai in this era is far from being as prosperous and developed as the later generations, and the city's scale naturally cannot be compared with the later generations.

From Xuhui District, where the Shanghai Film Studio is located, to Baiyi Store in the city, the little Lai Tou Ke walked for 10 minutes. This kind of small turtle car is also called Lai Tou Ke. It is essentially a tricycle with a shell installed. The price is only 1 cents, and the starting price of the few taxis at that time was [-] yuan.

Zhang Yu worried all the way, and finally reached Nanjing East Road. She got out of the car first, waited for the driver to find the money, turned around and left without even looking.

He Ping looked at the flustered back that was getting farther and farther in front of him, and thought that this woman might not be a fool.

The starting price of the small tricycle is [-] cents, and the driver charges [-] cents from the Shanghai Film Factory to the Baiyi Store, which is economical.

Before liberation, Shanghai-listed No. [-] Department Store was one of the four major companies on Nanjing Road in Shanghai, "Dah Sing Department Store".

He Ping felt like he was upgrading and fighting monsters recently. From the department store in Ping County to the Yingcheng Department Store, from the Fengcheng Joint Store to the Shanghai No. [-] Department Store, he visited all types of shopping malls in China.

The reason is simply that there are so few places to go for a walk at this time. Apart from cinemas, roller skating rinks, and skating rinks, young people are on the road. It is even more monotonous to go out alone. There are no coffee shops, no KFC, and bookstores. It is the unified Xinhua Bookstore, and there is not even a place to read books.

Shibaiyi Store is located on East Nanjing Road. After a short walk, He Ping saw the signboard "The No. [-] Department Store Listed in Shanghai" on the roof of the building.

Looking further down, a large building advertisement tens of meters long and wide covers most of the building. On it is an advertisement for "Phoenix" bicycles.

He Ping raised his head and sighed, he is so fucking rich.If this is for future generations, how much would it cost for such an expensive land!
Near Shibaiyi store, the flow of people on the street increased significantly. He Ping also saw many small businesses and hawkers. He Ping discovered this problem when he got off the bus yesterday. At this time, there have been many people on the streets of Shanghai. It can be seen that the current commercial atmosphere in Shanghai has slowly gathered.

Along the way, He Ping felt the long-lost bustling atmosphere from the shop signs set up on both sides of the street and the traffic on the street.When he came to the door of Shibaiyi Store, he finally felt the rich shopping mall atmosphere similar to the atmosphere of later generations.

The overpass in front of the door was full of people. He Ping guessed that this overpass would be the favorite place for photographers. He could imagine the scene of standing on the overpass and having a panoramic view of the bustling and lively Nanjing Road.

When he was approaching the door, He Ping noticed that the design of the shop window of the first department store was very exquisite and beautiful. Although the refrigerators and TVs displayed inside were all very old-fashioned products in He Ping’s eyes, the layout of the shop window And the design has the style of high-end shopping malls of later generations.

He followed the flow of people into the gate of the mall, and he was greeted by a scent. It turned out that the first floor was selling cosmetics.Many cosmetics brands that He Ping has never heard of are displayed on the counter, and people who buy things in front of the counter are almost queuing up.

He Ping was not interested in this kind of thing, but who would have a girlfriend at home, so he patiently followed her into the queue, chatting with her from time to time.

"Big sister, which one of these cosmetics should you buy?"

"Sister, let me ask you, which cosmetic is better?"

"Auntie, auntie, I want to ask you something, do you need a ticket to buy cosmetics?"

There are very few young men who haven't put on makeup these days, and there are very few men who come out to buy cosmetics for their wives and girlfriends. Everyone regards He Ping as a stinky hooligan who wants to take advantage, and they are afraid to avoid him.

All the salespersons behind the counter came out to accuse He Ping, "Hey, I said, big brother, don't disturb the shopping order. If you don't understand anything, you can ask us at the counter."

He Ping was helpless, it was really difficult for me, I just wanted to buy some cosmetics for my girlfriend, and I behaved like that woman Zhang Yu no matter what.

My girlfriend is much prettier than you guys, really!
After finally queuing up to him, the salesperson asked with a strong Shanghai accent: "Comrade, what do you need?"

"Can I buy it without a ticket?"

Although the salesperson tried hard to control her rolling eyes, He Ping could still see that she despised him deeply.That expression seemed to say, where did the country bumpkin come from, he didn't even have a ticket and wanted to buy things.

If we follow the usual routine of online novels in later generations, He Ping should have taken out a stack of tickets at this time, pointed at the counter and said arrogantly: "This, this, and this, don't want these, I will pack all the rest." , and then walked away amidst the stunned and regretful expression of the salesperson, hiding his merit and fame.

It's a pity, He Ping touched his bosom, he had nothing but Chengda's RMB.

Alas, what a ticket that stumps a hero!
He sighed and withdrew from the team, looking at the dazzling array of shopping malls, his interest suddenly faded.

It doesn't matter if you don't go shopping in this broken mall.

When he walked to the entrance of the mall with depression, a voice came from behind, "Brother, brother!"

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a small kid with big eyes and short hair stalking behind him. He Ping suddenly raised his vigilance. Pickpockets are not as rampant these days. Is the counter bare?

Although He Ping always looked careless and carefree in Hantun, including Ping County, it was because he was in a safe environment.

After all, he is a big bastard who has experienced the explosion of Internet information in later generations and has ten years of experience in state-owned enterprises. He can also be regarded as a person who has traveled from south to north.

"What's the matter?"

Looking about thirteen or fourteen years old, he leaned towards He Ping with big eyes, "Brother, do you need a ticket?"

He Ping glanced at him, "What tickets do you have?"

"What ticket do you want?" Big Eyes imitated He Ping's accent and said.

"Hehe, the tone is not small." He Ping smiled, "You may not have what I want to buy."

Big eyes pursed his lips and said: "Impossible, you can go to the Baiyi store in the city to inquire, brother, if I don't have a ticket in my hand, then you don't even think about getting it from others."

He Ping rolled his head with big eyes, "You are not very young, and you have a good tone. Okay, do you have tickets for cameras, musical instruments, cosmetics, and clothing?"

The big eyes were rolled by He Ping, and he adjusted his hairstyle unhappily, "What am I supposed to do, isn't it just those few things, come with me."

"Where are you going?" He Ping asked.

"Get the ticket with me."

He Ping patted his head with big eyes, "Do you think I'm stupid, boy? If you have a ticket, go shopping with me. After shopping, you will pay a lot of money. If you don't have a ticket, get out."

Seeing that He Ping was not fooled, the big eyes rolled around, "Then wait for me for a while, and I will go get the ticket."
