Chapter 108: Rats follow the path of rats
When a couple lives their lives, there is no need to argue about right and wrong and the outcome.
Jiang Hui definitely disagrees with Zhu Lin's statement.
It’s just that he won’t say much.
“Let’s go to Wangfujing Department Store and buy the things we still need today.”
Jiang Hui is not interested in shopping, but he is still very active in shopping.
For women, shopping is shopping, and shopping is shopping.
But for men, shopping is shopping and shopping is buying.
“Aren’t you busy helping the First Machinery Department translate foreign language materials recently?”
“You even borrowed a tape recorder from the factory. How about we buy a tape recorder?”
Zhu Lin was accustomed to considering things from Jiang Hui's point of view no matter what he did.
When shopping, he would even think about what Jiang Hui lacked.
“It is necessary to buy a tape recorder, but we don’t have tickets.”
Although the current tape recorders have very ordinary functions, they are indeed useful now.
“There are also some ticket sellers near Wangfujing Department Store. As long as you give money, they will sell you tickets.”
"One of our colleagues bought a TV last week, and he bought the ticket from a ticket seller."
When Zhu Lin said this, Jiang Hui immediately understood.
Ticket sellers are a characteristic of the times.
“Let’s go, hurry up and get there.”
“Let’s buy a tape recorder and a camera.”
Jiang Hui has long wanted to have a camera to record the traces of this era, and also record his and Zhu Lin's life.
Many scenes of the old capital will never be seen again. It would be a pity not to take more photos.
"Why buy a camera? That thing is expensive. Not only is the camera expensive, but the film is also expensive, and it also costs money to develop the photos."
Zhu Lin is not the kind of person who spends money lavishly.
Although she was very interested in recording things about a good life, she felt a little distressed at the thought of spending a lot of money.
"I have a camera, so I can take whatever pictures I want."
"Besides, time has passed and you can never go back. We are not short of money now, so we must be kinder to ourselves."
Jiang Hui will definitely not listen to Zhu Lin about buying a camera.
Zhu Lin, who was already a little moved, didn't say anything when he saw Jiang Hui's persistence.
The two of them walked quickly towards Wangfujing Department Store.
Today is Sunday, and even before entering the department store, you can feel the popularity.
Whether they are buying something or not, many people come to join in the fun.
Jiang Hui did not ride a bicycle today, but he still went directly to the place where the bicycles were kept, gave the keeper a cigarette, and asked: "Uncle, I want to buy some electrical appliances when I get married. How much money do I have?" I barely scraped together enough, but I don’t have any tickets.”
“Where can I get tickets nearby?”
For these custodians, the footprints of ticket dealers are absolutely unavoidable. Get rid of their fiery eyes.
They even know which ones are thieves and which ones are plainclothes.
But in most cases, people take the attitude that doing more is worse than doing less, and they only care about their own duties.
"Here, did you see the tall and thin man in the corner wearing military green clothes?"
For the sake of the big front door that Jiang Hui handed over, the uncle directly gave it to Jiang Hui Hui pointed.
Obviously, that guy is a ticket seller.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Jiang Hui thinks it's worth it to exchange one cigarette for another channel.
Save yourself asking questions and wasting time.
"Brother, how much is the ticket price for the recording?"
Jiang Hui asked Zhu Lin to wait at the entrance of Wangfujing Department Store, while he went to the corner to buy the tickets.
"20 yuan a piece, pay with one hand and pay with the other."
The tall, thin monkey-like man glanced at Jiang Hui quickly with his shrewd eyes. Wearing really good trousers and a shirt, paired with leather shoes and a Shanghai brand watch, at first glance, it looks like a young man who has come to buy tickets sincerely, not a note.
If you are in this line of work and your eyesight is not good, you will probably be wasted for a whole year if you are picked on once.
So they are actually very cautious.
"Do you have the camera tickets?"
Not bothering the two masters, Jiang Hui didn't want to worry about a few dollars.
Besides, these ticket sellers must be connected to each other, and the prices are probably agreed upon.
Even if you mess around, you may not be able to save money.
“Camera tickets are rare things, but I happen to have one here. If you buy it now, I’ll give it to you for fifty yuan.”
Even though Jiang Hui was not short of money, he couldn't help but smack his lips after hearing these words.
A camera ticket costs fifty yuan?
This is higher than many people’s monthly salary.
Sure enough, photography is not a hobby that ordinary people should have no matter what era it is in.
“If two tickets cost 60 yuan, I’ll take both.”
"If I buy other things in the future, I will continue to buy tickets from you."
Although you are not short of money, you still have to negotiate the price, otherwise people will think you are a fat sheep.
"Sixty-five yuan, you want to take it now."
The tall and thin man stared at Jiang Hui for a few seconds, feeling that the other party should still be sincere in buying.
“Okay, sixty-five is sixty-five.”
It doesn't matter if you save five yuan, you can go to a restaurant one more time.
"I'll take a look at the ticket first. If there's no problem, I'll give you the money right away."
The tall and lanky man didn't have any objections to Jiang Hui's statement.
It is estimated that many people have made similar requests in the past.
Purchasing a ticket for tens of dollars is not a small business.
They asked to see the tickets first, which was considered a reasonable request.
But what surprised Jiang Hui was that the tall and lanky man waved to a girl next to him. After she came over, he said something softly, and then the other girl quickly took out two bags from an unknown pocket. A ticket is exactly a recording ticket and a camera ticket.
This actually gave Jiang Hui some insights.
Every ticket seller knows that people and goods are separated.
It seems that the other party has quite a lot of fighting experience.
After quickly checking the status of the two tickets, Jiang Hui didn't hesitate and just counted six ten-yuan bills, plus a five-yuan RMB, and handed them to the tall and thin man.
"Brother, I am always here. If you want to buy a TV or something in the future, you can come to me."
"Even if it is some rare tickets, you can tell me in advance. I can help you get it done.”
Seeing that two business deals were successfully concluded, there was finally a smile on the tall and thin man’s face.
They also know how to attract repeat customers.
"Are there tickets for refrigerators and washing machines?"
Everyone was telling lies, so Jiang Hui had to ask.
When the courtyard is bought, these things will have to be purchased.
“You can have one in the refrigerator from time to time, but it’s rare to see a washing machine.”
“But if you really want it, I’ll help you keep an eye on it later.”
The tall and lanky man made a quick mental assessment and felt that Jiang Hui was probably not kidding him.
If this business can succeed, he feels that he can earn hundreds of dollars, and it is definitely worth paying attention to.
"Okay, I usually come here to buy things at least once a month. I will ask you next time I come here."
Jiang Hui did not intend to leave any contact information.
If you don’t know the origin, who knows where the other person is coming from.
