Chapter 58: Inviting Shazhu to take charge
Di'anmen Department Store is the place with the most complete range of products nearby. The height of the department store should be more than four meters. It is quite impressive. In front of it is the slogan "Serve the People Wholeheartedly!" Big slogan.
The walls are covered with hand-painted colorful presentations of various products. They are a bit rough, but the effect is good. You will know what you are looking for is here when you see it from a distance.
There are also a lot of bayonet light bulbs with beige covers hanging on the roof at intervals. They are usually not turned on, so the light inside the building is not very good.
The rows of glass counters have a dazzling array of products, and the containers behind them are even fuller. Except for a few counters, the overall situation is a bit messy, but it is somewhat similar to the underground wholesale malls of the 1980s and 1990s.
Zhu Xuefeng came here to pick out clothes today, so he didn't wander around. He saw the clothes counter in the distance. Many clothes were hung on tight wires with hangers, which made it easier to see more intuitively.
On the container are piles of clothes piled according to size. The numbers cannot be too high and many have fallen down. The salesperson has no time to sort them. There are many customers today, and there are only two at each counter. The female salesperson is indeed a little busy.
First find the counter for student clothes. There is nothing to choose from. They are all similar, and then there are the differences in color. Zhu Xuefeng wrote down all the clothes he wanted to buy in one go. This is the trick, and then came to the counter.
"Comrade, let me buy some student clothes."
The salesperson had just finished a busy job and was about to take a break when Zhu Xuefeng took advantage of every opportunity and came to the door.
"Whatever you want, come back after checking it all at once. Don't bother people by trying one thing at a time."
The attitude of the salesperson is not bad, at least he did not ignore you and made a request.
“Sister, I’ve taken care of everything, I’ve written it all down.”
The salesperson should be in her twenties, so it’s not an exaggeration to call her “Sister”. It seems like she has a better attitude. Isn’t that right? Just came over.
Zhu Xuefeng pointed at the samples and reported the sizes one by one. He did not let the salesperson run around too much. They were placed on the counter in a short while. Zhu Xuefeng also wanted to see the quality and the eye of the needle.
"Count, yes, I'll do the math."
Forget it, no longer annoying, the salesperson picked up the abacus and clicked it. After finishing the calculation, he wrote a note , stuffed it into Zhu Xuefeng's hand.
"Go and pay the money and get the note. I'll tie it up for you first."
After finishing the student clothes for his younger siblings, Zhu Xuefeng looked at the summer clothes and bought two more skirts and a few more Wear shorts and shorts.
Looking at the adult area, there are even more styles of clothing, and there are many similar styles from later generations. There are actually several T-shirts, which is really a surprise.
Zhu Xuefeng felt that he liked to wear T-shirts more, so he bought a few more. Compared to shirts, Zhu Xuefeng preferred T-shirts.
I bought a few pairs of white sneakers with flat soles and no tops. The current Jai Alai basketball shoes are selling very well, with high tops. Because of the wide audience, this style is still available decades later. It is really timeless. I guess it just sold so well that there was no need to change it.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xuefeng prefers white sneakers with light heels, which are somewhat similar to later tennis shoes and track and field shoes. Since Zhu Xuefeng makes the decision, the shoes of his younger siblings are the same as those of his elder brother.
Except for giving each younger brother and sister a set, the others are put away first, and will be taken out bit by bit later, otherwise they will be seen by interested people, and they will have to murmur.
After leaving the noisy department store, my ears felt a lot clearer, and I understood the attitude of the salesperson. The light was average, the noise was not small, and there was no time to rest after a busy day. It was strange that the attitude was better.
It’s really hot this year. It’s only June, and the sun is scorching hot. Looking at the rows of human-powered three-wheelers on the street, pulling full of goods, the driver seems to have washed them all. , big beads of sweat hit the ground, splashing up a burst of dust.
Zhu Xuefeng was also sweating profusely. He was wearing long clothes and long trousers, which looked like a steamer. He felt really uncomfortable. He hurried home to wash himself.
......
I rubbed my eyes, my waist was sore, I wanted to change my job, I was tired from reading all the time, I wanted to relax and relax.
Zhu Xuefeng decided to go fishing to feel the smell of the water on the lake. Maybe it was because it was too hot. He went there twice in a row and the harvest was average. Xiao Erliang caught a lot of crucian carp, including a big one. Nothing to order.
My fishing skill was upgraded to Level 2, but it didn't help at all, so I only received two experience packs.
Look at the fish in the tank. There are already quite a few. Grass carp has been raised for a few days. I will make a grilled fish at noon on the weekend tomorrow. You can keep the fish head and make a fish head tofu soup. Thinking about the milky white fish soup makes me a little hungry.
Tomorrow is my little sister's birthday. She is turning 12 years old. The current conditions cannot make cakes or longevity noodles. It is not suitable to go out to eat. I'd better make some at home. It just depends on my heart. After thinking about it, I’d better keep the fish for a few more days, and cook the tofu after buying it. I’ve been to the market many times, but I haven’t bought any tofu. It’s so in short supply, and I don’t understand why. I guess Douzi is also very nervous.
Zhu Xuefeng decided to go to Shazhu for help later. He cooked the pheasant tomorrow. He has been in the space for many days and fed it every day. He didn’t see any fat. He seemed to have lost weight. .
After dinner, the two little ones went outside to watch the fish again. They played for half an hour before studying every day after dinner. There was nothing to do. They could only play with the fish, or go to the vegetable garden to feed the chickens, or else I just play games with my friends, but my younger siblings are still a little older and have stopped playing with children for a long time.
Zhu Xuefeng took a stroll in the vegetable garden. Some of the peppers have already bloomed, but the others are still early. It is not easy to set up a shelf for tomatoes and grow vegetables. So far, there is only effort and no gain.
I saw He Yuyu entering the front yard from a distance. After agreeing to give Zhu Xuemei extra lessons last time, he came back every week, but the two of them never talked again.
“Sister Yuyu, you just came back.”
Zhu Xuefeng greeted with a smile.
"Oh, Zhu Xuefeng, you're back early. My brother and I have had dinner. We just went out for a trip."
He Yuyu raised the bag in his hand, probably to buy some daily necessities. .
He Yuyu usually walks with his head lowered and his gaze fixed. He didn't notice Zhu Xuefeng just now, so he quickly replied with a smile.
"Brother Zhuzi is at home? I'll ask him for a favor later."
"Yes, yes, you can go find him."
Since I found out His brother's change was due to Zhu Xuefeng's enlightenment, and He Yuyu was somewhat grateful.
Zhu Xuefeng did not return to the house, and followed He Yuyu into the middle courtyard one after another.
The middle courtyard is quite quiet now. There are no more young women doing laundry, no more old men drinking tea under the locust tree, and no more Silly Zhu sitting on the steps watching the excitement.
“Brother, Zhu Xuefeng is looking for you.”
He Yuyu directly pushed open Shazhu’s door.
Silly Zhu was lying on the kang out of boredom without taking off his shoes. He stared at the roof with his eyes open. He didn't know what he was thinking. He was so absorbed that he didn't notice anyone coming. He was startled by He Yuyu's movement.
"Sister, you are such a grown-up person, why don't you knock on the door first when you come in next time."
Seeing Zhu Xuefeng outside the door again, he quickly got up and got off the kang.
“Hey, big brother is here, come and sit”
Hurry up and let in.
Seeing that the two men were about to talk, He Yuyu went out to make a cup of tea.
Si Zhu raised his enamel cup and waved it, while He Yuyu went to refill it.
"Brother Zhuzi, it's like this. At noon tomorrow, I want to invite you to our house to show your skills. There are two dishes that you need to come to."
"Okay, no problem, what dish? , tell me, let me make some preparations and find some seasonings.”
“There are some seasonings for pheasant and yellow mutton.”
"You have it. You don't even know how the cook makes it. How do you know you have it? Both of these are good things. Without the right seasoning, they will be wasted." He stood up and said to Zhu Xuefeng with a smile.
