Chapter 85 The Four Major Shopping Malls in the 1950s
After speaking, Li Le also went back to his room.
At the same time, in the room of the two sisters Zhao Yanran, Zhao Yanhan said: "Sister, are we okay with this? What if Brother Le gets angry?"
"Do you have a better way than this?" Zhao Yanran looked at her sister and asked.
"Uh! No!" Zhao Yanhan shook her head.
"That's alright. Now this is the only way to get Brother Le to marry us."
"Okay! But sister, let's marry Brother Le together, right..." Before she could finish her words, Zhao Yanhan's face turned red.
"Then why don't you get married and I'll get married alone." Zhao Yanran looked at her sister with a smile and said.
"That won't work! I want to get married too." Zhao Yanhan said quickly.
"That's enough, why do you think so much?" Zhao Yanran gave her sister a roll of her eyes.
On Li Le's side, after returning to the room, he lay in bed and thought about things. It was not impossible to marry the two sisters Zhao Yanran, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible this month.
Because he will return to the real world in a few days, and even if he wants to get married, it will be next month.
Besides, next month is only April, and the Marriage Law will be implemented in May, so there is no problem for three people to get married.
"Alas! Having too many wives is troublesome!" Li Le said with emotion.
After breakfast the next morning, Li Le did not go to collect the waste, but rode a tricycle to Niulan Mountain.
In the past, he had no money, so he only bought a few jars of wine. But now it is different. He has no shortage of money, so he plans to buy more.
Of course, Li Le didn't go there on a tricycle, but found a place where no one was and collected it, and then took a car there.
It's always inconvenient to let others deliver it, so it's better to pull it yourself, so he rode a tricycle.
It was almost noon when the car arrived at Niulanshan Island. Li Le got off the car and walked towards the winery.
After walking for a while and seeing no one around, Li Le released the tricycle from the space and rode over.
It's still the same place, and the people are still the same. I guess I don't recognize Li Le anymore! After all, I see so many people every day.
"Hello! Let me buy some wine." Li Le said to the salesperson after coming in.
"Oh! What kind of wine should I buy?"
"Niulanshan Erguotou in a jar, fifty pounds. I want ten jars first."
"Shitan?" The salesman looked at Li Le in surprise.
It's true that people buy ten altars at a time, but they are very rare, which is why the salesperson was surprised.
"Yes! Is there any problem?"
"No, no, the price of ten altars is 5,000 pounds. Can we place the invoice now?"
The price has not changed, it is exactly the same as the last time I bought it. It is estimated that the price will remain the same after a certain quantity.
"Let's make an invoice! If you ask for more, you can pay by one thousand catties. I may come back later."
After finally coming here, how could he only have five hundred kilograms? A thousand kilograms is too little for him, but he thinks that the future is long, so he will take these first.
This thousand kilograms is enough to drink for a long time. Even if someone helps you drink, it will be enough for half a year and several months.
"Do you want a thousand catties?"
"Yes!" Li Le nodded.
"Okay, I'll give you the invoice right now." Taking the invoice issued by the salesperson, Li Le went over to pay the money first, and then went over to fill the bottle with the order.
A thousand kilograms of wine can be pulled but not loaded on a tricycle. In other words, there is no problem in pulling it, but it cannot be loaded.
This is also the reason why Li Le made two trips. A 50-pound jar is not small, and the tricycle can be filled with up to six jars at a time.
These things can't be stacked together. If they can be stacked, it doesn't matter if they add two more jars.
When the ticket was issued, the salesperson was asked to issue two tickets, so Li Le gave one first, and they filled five jars for him.
After loading it up, Li Le left on his tricycle. After riding for a while, when he saw no one was around, he put the wine away and went back.
By the time Li Le pulled out all the wine and put it into the space, it was already past noon, and Li Le rode a tricycle to Shunyi Street.
The Niulanshan roundabout is not far from Shunyi Street. It only takes more than half an hour by riding a tricycle.
Li Le was going to have a meal on the street first, and then come back and take a car back to the city.
If we ride a tricycle back, we probably won't be able to get there even after dark, since it's such a long way.
When Li Le returned to the roundabout after dinner, the car hadn't arrived yet, so Li Le put away the tricycle first.
After about half an hour, the shuttle bus came slowly and leisurely.
After returning to the city, Li Le did not go home. Instead, he rode a tricycle to Dong'an Market.
Dong'an Market is the earliest shopping mall in the imperial capital. It opened in 1902. There is no public-private partnership yet, so the current Dong'an Market is still privately owned.
In fact, in addition to Dong'an Market, there were also Quanyechang, Shoushan First Floor, and Qingyun Pavilion. These were the earliest four major shopping malls in the imperial capital. At this time, there were no department stores.
Wangfujing Department Store only opened in 55 years, which is still five years away from now, so when buying things at this time, you usually go to the four major shopping malls.
Although there are four major shopping malls, Li Le’s first choice of place to go is definitely Dong’an Market because it’s close to home!
Everything else is relatively far away from where he lives. Even Quanyechang is about two kilometers away from his home.
Dong'an Market is on Wangfujing Street, just a few steps away.
Li Le didn't come here to play, but to buy a watch. He kept saying to buy it, but forgot about it when he got busy. He had to buy it today anyway.
It is really inconvenient not to have a watch. If you want to know the time, you have to look at the sun to estimate it.
After locking the tricycle outside, Li Le went in and went straight to the watch counter.
To be honest, the watches I buy at this time are all famous brands, such as Plum Blossom, Patek Philippe, etc., all of which are imported watches.
There was no way, because at this time, China did not have the ability to produce watches. The first watch in China was produced in 1955.
In other words, five or five years ago, all watches sold in China had to be imported.
But one thing is that the watches sold at this time are not expensive, even Patek Philippe.
All of them are at prices that ordinary people can afford. For example, a plum blossom watch costs more than three million yuan.
Like Patek Philippe, you can buy one piece for five to six million. It sounds like a lot, but it’s really not much.
Even after a few years, when China has its own watches, the price of Plum Blossom watches will still be the same.
But because the second set of RMB was used at that time, the price was 380 yuan, and the Shanghai brand watch, all steel, also cost about 200 yuan.
Li Le came here for Patek Philippe this time. In later generations, an entry-level piece of this thing would cost more than ten or two hundred thousand.
Some classic models cost tens of millions, or even higher. He just wanted to see the difference between today's Patek Philippe and those of later generations.
