60s: I have a store

Chapter 340 Buying Clothes

After dinner, Zhou Yimin and Zhang Yan went out for a walk. They originally wanted to be alone together, but in the end there was an extra "light bulb". No matter how Zhang Yan tried to drive her away, she wouldn't leave. There was nothing she could do but to endure it, after all, she was their relative.

Of course Zhang Lu would not miss the opportunity to go out with Zhou Yimin. Although her family's living conditions were not bad, they did not have much extra money to buy food for her.

We soon arrived at Wangfujing Street. At that time, Wangfujing Street was crowded with people. The workers were all on holiday and were thinking about buying New Year's goods. Here was the largest department store in the whole city. As long as you had a ticket, you could buy whatever you wanted.

Looking at the crowded Wangfujing Street, Zhou Yimin reminded: "You must follow me closely, otherwise it will be troublesome if you get lost."

"Okay!" Zhang Lu and Zhang Yan answered obediently.

After great efforts, they finally squeezed into the department store. Seeing that there seemed to be more people in the department store, the three of them were a little dumbfounded.

The three of them were squeezed into the crowd and were accidentally pushed into the stall selling women's clothing.

When Zhou Yimin saw women's clothing, he stopped.

Zhang Yan was a little confused: "Yimin, why don't you leave?"

"Let's take a look here to see if there are any clothes that suit you." Zhou Yimin said directly.

Zhang Yan felt bad for Zhou Yimin's money, so she wanted to decline: "Yimin, don't waste the money. It will be the same if you buy some cloth and go back to make it."

After all, buying ready-made clothes is much more expensive than making them at home. Nowadays, most people buy cloth and make them at home.

"Let's go in and take a look." Zhou Yimin ignored Zhang Yan and directly pulled the two of them in.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Lu had no way to resist and could only follow him in.

Although there are many people here, it is much less than other stalls. Although women now hold up half the sky, the long-standing mindset cannot be changed all at once. It seems unnecessary to buy such expensive clothes for women. Women now think that if they marry a chicken, they follow the chicken; if they marry a dog, they follow the dog. They will not do anything that their husbands don't like.

Zhou Yimin was very generous: "Take a look, if there are any clothes you like, I will give them to you as New Year's gifts."

"Brother Yimin, can I have a share too?" Zhang Lu looked at Zhou Yimin hopefully.

Zhou Yimin also fulfilled Zhang Lu's wish: "That's right, go pick it!"

Anyway, he has accumulated a lot of money. For his future wife and future sister-in-law, he can spend a little money to make them happy. This deal is very cost-effective. Anyway, money cannot be spent. Besides, as long as he has the store, he will not be short of money. He just doesn't want to be too high-profile now.

It's not the time of reform and opening up now, so having so much money is not a good thing. If the money wasn't needed to upgrade the store, he would be so high-profile. Now capitalists are the opposite of the working class.

After hearing this, Zhang Lu was very happy and went to choose the clothes she liked.

"Yimin, you can't spoil Zhang Lu like this, otherwise the family's money will be..." Zhang Yan scolded Zhou Yimin here.

She also knew that it was not easy to make money nowadays, and the money earned must be saved so that if something happened in the future, she would have money to protect herself.

"Don't worry, when you marry me, the financial power of the family will be handed over to you." Zhou Yimin said to Zhang Yan at this time.

Zhang Yan was very shy: "Who wants to marry you?"

"Oh! Since you don't want to marry me, then I can only go find you." Zhou Yimin was still teasing.

Zhang Yan quickly interrupted Zhou Yimin: "You are not allowed to look for someone else." "You won't marry me, and you won't find someone else to be my wife, what do you think?" Zhou Yimin continued to pursue his victory.

If such words were said in later generations, they would be bronze-level love words, but if they were said now, their "destructive power" can be said to be quite great.

Zhang Yan's face flushed: "I'm ignoring you! You're so bad."

After saying that, I went to choose clothes.

Zhou Yimin was not idle either, he was also helping Zhang Yan choose clothes.

As they were walking, they saw Zhang Yan looking at a piece of clothing, seemingly very hesitant. Zhou Yimin saw the price and thought she was reluctant to buy it because it was too high!
A long velvet coat with a fur collar costs more than 28 yuan, and feet of cloth coupons.

You have to know that a person only had 15 feet of cloth coupons per year. This coat is equivalent to almost two years' worth of cloth coupons, which can be said to be quite expensive.

No wonder Zhang Yan was reluctant to leave and finally left to look at other clothes.

After watching Zhang Yan walk away, Zhou Yimin was afraid that the long velvet coat with fur collar would be snatched away, so he could only call the salesperson over and buy it first, only then would he feel at ease.

When the salesperson saw Zhou Yimin waving, he came over reluctantly and said, "Comrade, what's the matter?"

"Comrade, please help me pack up this velvet coat with a fur collar!" Zhou Yimin went straight to the point.

After hearing Zhou Yimin's words, the salesperson's attitude immediately changed and he became much more enthusiastic: "Comrade, you have a good eye. This is one of the few imported products in our supply and marketing cooperative. Buy it for your wife. She will definitely like it."

After all, someone who can afford such expensive things is definitely not someone she can afford to offend. The kind of customer that is not allowed to be hit without reason is just an ordinary customer.

If I meet someone with status, I will lose my job as a salesperson in a minute. Although I cannot fire him without reason, I can transfer him to another position that is very hard and has a low salary. This kind of thing is still possible.

Zhou Yimin followed the salesperson to the front desk, where he paid for his clothes.

The salesman then said, "Comrade, the total is 82 yuan, and there are 5 feet of cloth coupons."

Zhou Yimin did not say anything, but took out money and cloth coupons directly from his pocket. These were taken out from the store space, and the pocket was just a cover.

The salesperson took it, counted it carefully, found no problem, and then helped Zhou Yimin pack the fur collar velvet coat.

Zhou Yimin did not continue shopping, but waited here for Zhang Yan and Zhang Lu.

I can only say that it is worthy of women to go shopping. This is true regardless of time. Whether it is women in later generations or women now, as long as they go shopping, they seem to have endless energy. No matter how long they walk, they never seem to get tired.

In this way, Zhou Yimin waited at the front desk for nearly half an hour, and finally saw Zhang Yan and Zhang Lu slowly walking towards him.

Looking at the reluctant Zhang Lu, you can tell that it was Zhang Yan who forcibly grabbed Zhang Lu.

However, both of them held a piece of clothing in their hands. It’s not that they didn’t pick out something they liked, and they liked it very much. But they both knew their limits, so they each picked a piece of clothing that was not very expensive but that they liked.

After seeing this, Zhou Yimin said: "You two only picked one, why don't you pick a little more?"

Although I can't buy all the clothes, there is still no pressure to buy some of them.
