Magical prices, magical order, you think it is very beautiful, not as messy as it was later, but it is not the case.
Because of poverty.
If you are poor, you will cheat, even steal or rob.
In rural areas, it is common to wake up to find the chicken coop emptied and the kitchen pots and pans looted.
It is not uncommon for people to be stopped on the road to collect tolls when they go out, and to have their pants and shoes ripped off.
Then lottery tickets, qigong, health products, and all kinds of weird things became popular. This is a common phenomenon in this era.
But then again, this era is full of vitality, and people generally are not that anxious.
His eyes returned to the car.
After a clumsy and flawed performance, someone finally bought the ring.
No one knows exactly what it is.
They may be ordinary people who are greedy for petty gains, or they may be fellow liars who have played out the trick.
Anyway, someone bought it, for whatever reason, it cost one thousand and two thousand.
Jiang Chen didn't stop him.
Didn't expose it either.
Someone is always going to be fooled.
If you don't get fooled, you won't have a long memory.
He could stop it for a while, but he couldn't stop it forever.
Another thing, who knows where these people came from? Did they carry any weapons with them?
This is not more than twenty years later.
If he carries a controlled knife with him and gets angry and stabs him a few times, he is not the Dragon King, nor is he the Returned Immortal Emperor.
But as the minibus crossed the river and arrived in the city, this matter was soon forgotten.
This was Zhang Hai's first time entering the city, and he was shocked.
A spacious road.
Motorcycles can be seen everywhere.
One bus after another.
There are buildings as far as the eye can see.
Glorious people.
Everything was so fresh, everything was so shocking, he felt as if he had entered a whole new world.
After traveling all the way to the Electrical Appliance City, I was immediately confused.
Too much.
TV, black and white, color.
vcd, Wanyan, Aiduo.
Roaring subwoofer.
bright lights.
Snow white floor.
It's as if the dimension of the world has been upgraded to another level, directly to the second heaven.
But things are really expensive.
TVs are just that, there are small black and white ones, they cost a few hundred yuan, which is acceptable.
But the video player, really, is the cheapest at 4,200.
To be honest, Jiang Chen doesn't like these things very much.
Not to mention 4k8k50 inches and up, you can just give me an ordinary LCD!
The same goes for the video player. Can it be made thinner and slimmer?
Is it really okay for everyone to be so stupid, clumsy and clumsy?
But there is no other way, this is the only one available right now, and most people can’t afford it.
You can't stop waiting, right?
It’s been a few years!
So you should buy it anyway.
The process is also simple. Men know everything about buying things. First, they have clear goals. Second, they don’t bargain.
Jiang Chen looked at a large domestic TCL color TV, 23 inches, which is pretty cool, and the asking price is 4,300.
Jiang Chen: Can I sell it for four thousand?
Boss: No, no, I can’t sell it, I can’t sell it...
Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
Boss: Hey, wait a minute, four thousand is four thousand. Make a friend. If a friend buys a TV later, tell me more about it.
Then he asked for this big color TV. Zhang Hai was dumbfounded and drooled with greed.
Next, vcd is similar.
An Aido VCD and a Japanese-style combo stereo with a VCD interface. The original price is 10,200, but the price is reduced to 9,500.
After it was done, the boss smiled and gave me a beautiful CD package. He also moved out a white storage box. When the lid was opened, it was filled with CDs.
"Is it genuine?"
"Just kidding, there are plenty of them."
"..."
Well, Jiang Chen also felt that he was stupid for asking such a stupid question.
But then again, this disc looked good, so I picked up one of them, "Forrest Gump".
Read it again, "Future Water World".
No need to ask, these are definitely pirated copies.
Looking again, the 95 version of the Divine Eagle is probably not genuine, but it is definitely a classic. Aunt is still Aunt, and the principal is still Bai Gu.
Then there are songs from the Four Heavenly Kings, beyond, Zhou Huajian, Zhou Huimin, Meng Tingwei...
There are also many beauties in swimsuits.
He joked: "Can you take them all away?"
The boss wiped his sweat and said, "Brother, I'm joking. In this way, I usually take five at most. Brother, you take ten. I'll give you some old discs later."
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely fine."
Jiang Chen was stunned, as if he understood something, but at the same time he seemed to understand nothing.
But he was just joking at first, so he picked out a few pictures, including movies, music CDs, and divine sculptures.
Zhang Hai also picked two films, both of which were Hong Kong films, one was "God of Gamblers" and the other was "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".
feel good.
Although he was born in the 2000s, Jiang Chen found that his aesthetics were not much different from those of people of this generation.
At least he likes many of these songs and videos, and has watched and listened to many of them.
Just that free gift...
how to say?
It should be okay, Jiang Chen didn't feel too much in his heart, but Zhang Hai blushed, like a cooked shrimp.
However, they were all put away. After finishing the work, the TV disc player and stereo were packed, and Zhang Hai stayed behind. He went to a nearby shopping mall alone to buy mooncakes.
Not cheap either.
Egg yolk and lotus paste mooncakes are not sold in the countryside. Most people have never heard of them. Each one costs five yuan.
Something else...
I didn’t like it very much, so I bought forty egg yolk lotus paste for two hundred yuan.
After thinking about it, I moved two more boxes of Jianlibao.
When we came back, we met Zhang Hai, and the boss helped us call a taxi to the station.
Zhang Hai was very excited.
But also nervous.
Because they were too valuable, I didn’t dare put them in the trunk of the car, so I had to hold them next to them and guard them.
Along the way, many people asked, struck up conversations, complimented and envied me. After all, these things are often not found in the whole village.
After getting off the car, Jiang Chen was watching while Zhang Hai went to pull a cart.
It's really lively now.
Adults and children, those who worked stopped working, those who played stopped playing, and followed along.
When I got home and installed it, I put a disc in it. Fortunately, it was in the main room, otherwise there would be no place to stand.
At this time, Yang Mei asked in a low voice: "You bought so much, how much did you spend?"
"Not much, less than ten thousand." Jiang Chen smiled and looked at the time. According to the original owner's experience, the school should be on holiday at noon today, and then said: "I bought some mooncakes. Take some back and help me by the way."
Take a look at home, I'll go to town."
After saying that, the motorcycle rolled out and went away like a roaring wind.
town.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the small town at this time feels more lively than later during the festival in the big city.
Although supplies are not abundant at the moment, there is not even a serious supermarket in the town.
The school is located in a corner, but it is very clean. There are almost no parents coming to pick up students at the door.
On the contrary, the campus was full of laughter and laughter, and students were walking out in groups, pushing various bicycles, talking and laughing.
When I asked, it turned out to be a holiday.
Mid-Autumn Festival on Saturday, plus Sunday, two full days.
To avoid missing it, Jiang Chen didn't dare to delay, so he drove directly into the campus on his motorcycle and came to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory.
