Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 37 Purchase
Gu Siwei stood on the curb, looking up slightly at the building in front of him.

The appearance of the three-storey small building is straight up and down, and there is no design at all. It is completely the Maozi style in old movies, rough and stupid.

In the middle of the roof is a red five-pointed star, and five red flags are decorated on both sides of the five-pointed star.

For Gu Siwei, this building really has a sense of age.

It's just that what he saw was realistic, and it didn't look like some red scenic spots had been restored decades later.

"Brother Siwei, go in, what are you looking at outside, it's a store when you go in."

Seeing Gu Siwei with his hair up in a daze outside, Liu Dezhu didn't understand. He came here and stretched his neck to look like Gu Siwei, but he didn't see anything, except the house and the blue sky.

Gu Siwei recovered, and smiled at Liu Dezhu: "It's nothing, I just think the five stars on the top are pretty."

"I'm very angry at the party! I also think" Liu Dezhu was a little happy.

Gu Siwei nodded and walked into the room.

The store is very big, unexpectedly big. He was disappointed by the small store in the town. After the store, it can be regarded as a medium-sized community supermarket at most. Of course, it is a little far away from the supermarket. If the salesperson doesn't give it to you, you won't be able to see anything.

But the store here is really not small, and the place to enter is also large. The counters alone are divided into several groups, and the business area on the first floor alone is about a thousand square meters.

There is also a full range of things, from food to hardware.

There are also many salespersons, and there are four or five of them as soon as you enter the door. There are a lot of women, ranging in age from forties to twenties.

There are also quite a few customers, there are two or three people picking goods at any counter at a glance, but most of them are middle-aged women, and it is rare to see old men. Around this time, all the old men have gone to work.

"What would you like?"

As soon as he stood in front of the counter, Gu Siwei heard a crisp voice entering his ears.

Looking up, he saw a young girl standing in front of him across the counter.

Girls are very good-looking, and there are no artificial beauties at this time. Women at this time are what they look like, and there are very few heavy-duty clothes. Generally speaking, there are only two or three kinds of cosmetics.

It's really natural to carve and decorate, and the hibiscus comes out of clear water.

The girl is not an oval face, but a round face. Although she has a round face, her big eyes are piercing, she smiles before she meets people, her two eyebrows are like willows like smoke, her nose is normal, and her mouth is standard. The mold peach mouth, a little, full of healthy ruddy color.

"I want to take a look casually." Gu Siwei smiled.

He had just entered the door and hadn't looked at anything yet, so he didn't know what to buy.

At this time, Liu Dezhu rushed to Gu Siwei's side, and when he heard the salesperson asking what he wanted, he immediately said with a silly smile: "Comrade salesperson, brother Siwei wants to buy a pot, and a knife...".

puff!

The salesperson covered his mouth and was happy when he heard this.

After the music was over, I stretched out my fingers to look inside: "Hardware, electrical appliances, household kitchen knives and so on are all over there. We sell food here."

Gu Siwei smiled and walked towards the direction of the girl's finger.

Seeing Gu Siwei leaving, Liu Dezhu smiled silly at the salesperson girl, and followed behind Gu Siwei.

"Brother Siwei, Comrade Salesman looks really good-looking!"

There was a black line on Gu Siwei's forehead in an instant, because Liu Dezhu, that idiot, spoke too loudly. The two of them here are not ten meters away from the salesperson's counter. It would be strange if they couldn't hear them.

Sure enough, there was a burst of laughter behind him.

Gu Siwei turned his head and saw that the salesperson and her colleagues had already burst into laughter.

"I'm sorry, my younger brother is more straightforward, but what he said is the truth, you are really beautiful." Gu Siwei had no choice but to bite the bullet and smooth things over for Liu Dezhu.

Liu Dezhu also followed up on his own: "You are beautiful. Among the women I have seen, you are the most beautiful. Among the men, Siwei is the prettiest."

"#——!"

Now Gu Siwei really didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Liu Dezhu who was standing next to him with a silly smile, wishing to sew the kid's mouth shut.

"Why don't you introduce our little Hu to Brother Siwei? Our little Hu doesn't have a date yet."

The salesperson in his thirties next to him started booing.

"Okay!" Liu Dezhu nodded immediately.

"Young man, which factory do you belong to?" The salesman in his thirties who spoke asked Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei said with a smile: "I am not from the factory here, I am from Shimo Village, the same village as him, an authentic farmer."

Hearing that Gu Siwei claimed to be a farmer, the faces of the smiling salesmen were a little embarrassed.

Gu Siwei was fine. He didn't think there was anything wrong with farmers. In the time he came, there was no difference between farmers and workers. Many urban people wanted to live the life of farmers, but they couldn't get it.

You must know that when Gu Siwei came back, the rural household registration was valuable, but the urban household registration had fallen in value.

Therefore, when Gu Siwei called himself a farmer, he did not have the inferior feeling that many farmers in this era had when they called themselves farmers.

This is the actual situation. No matter how you whitewash it, the peasants of this era are really not as solid as the workers, nor do they have the high social status of the workers.

Regarding the reactions of these salespersons, Gu Siwei didn't have to guess. Seeing that they were embarrassed, he smiled at them, then turned and walked towards the hardware store.

A place that sells hardware is no different from a place that sells candy. In the display cabinets near the pond, there is a long cabinet between the salesperson and the customer, and the items for sale are placed inside.

Because there are few varieties, the things in the cabinet are a bit empty, but there are all the commonly used pots and pans.

There are not as many commodities as in later generations, but there are everything that should be there, but the prices of some things are really scary.

"How much is that pot?"

The salesperson at the counter here was knitting a sweater. Seeing Gu Siwei and the two coming over, he just raised his eyelids, and then continued to knit the sweater attentively.

"18 yuan!"

As soon as the salesperson looked up, he saw the pot pointed by Gu Siwei and quoted the price.

"So tall, 304 stainless steel?" Gu Siwei asked.

This question stunned the salesman, and he replied to Gu Siwei: "What is 304 stainless steel, this is a stainless steel pot."

"Steel pot?"

This statement stunned Gu Siwei again, he had never heard of such a thing as fine steel in this world.

"What is steel essence?"

"Steel is steel, you can buy it or not, and don't ask if you don't buy it."

The salesperson didn't know what a steel essence was. Anyway, everyone called it that. In her mind, it was called a steel essence pot.

"Can I take a look?" Gu Siwei was curious.

The salesperson was muttering something, but he didn't know what he was talking about. Anyway, Gu Siwei didn't understand it at all.

Although complaining, the salesperson still took the shiny and reflective pots on the shelf to Gu Siwei and put them on the counter.

Putting down the pot, he said: "Don't break it, you will have to pay for it if you break it."

Picking up the pot and looking at it, Gu Siwei couldn't help but smiled wryly. He was originally engaged in mechanical processing, and he knew what material this thing was made of as soon as he got started.

Aluminum!

What steel essence, isn't this nonsense.

Gu Siwei didn't know that at this time, many places called this kind of aluminum pot a steel pot.

"Thank you, is there an iron pot here?"

Knowing that it is an aluminum pan, where would Gu Siwei buy it? This thing is made of aluminum, no matter how good it is for cooking, it will not be as good as an iron pan. After decades, everyone will pay attention to health, so who will use aluminum products.

"Yes, how big do you want."

The salesperson just sat down, and when he heard this, he rolled his eyes at Gu Siwei, but although his attitude was not good, he still stood up and put the aluminum pot back to its original position, and finally stretched out his finger to the pot on the top of the pond cabinet .

The iron pots on it are still the old-fashioned double-eared iron pots. These things are all cast. The price is much cheaper than the aluminum pots just now, that is, the steel pots. The cast iron pots are twice the size of the aluminum pots. The pot is only half the price of an aluminum pot.

"Give me the largest cast iron skillet".

Gu Siwei was straightforward and asked for the largest size.

In fact, the diameter of the largest pot is only about [-] centimeters, which is still a little far from the big iron pot in the countryside that Gu Siwei imagined.

But here is a factory, and they are usually sold to workers’ families. Such a large pot is rarely used, and it is usually a normal pot, about [-] centimeters.

"Are you sure you want?"

The salesperson was also a little confused when he heard it. It was because the pot had been kept here for several years, and today was the first time someone asked about it, and it was the first time someone asked for it.

"Well, I want this." Gu Siwei nodded.

The salesperson brought up the pot and put it in front of Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei took the pot and looked at it with two ears.

Seeing Gu Siwei's appearance, the salesperson said with a smile: "Young man, how can you tell by looking at it like this? You have to pick up the pot and point it to the light so you can see it, but the things we sell here Don't worry, as long as you miss it within a week, we will replace it for you."

Hearing what the salesperson said, Gu Siwei raised the pot and looked at it, but he didn't see any place where there was light.

"Okay, I want this."

"Okay, I'll invoice you, and you go to the cashier to pay."

After hearing this, the salesperson immediately took out the small book from below.

Gu Siwei said: "Wait, I have to buy something else, a spatula, a spoon or something."

It may be that the sale of the item made the salesperson feel better. This man put down the sweater in his hand and began to introduce Gu Siwei.

After a while, Gu Siwei bought all the pots, shovels, spoons and so on for the family. He wanted to buy some bowls, but Liu Dezhu stopped him, saying that the ones here are too expensive.

After looking at the price, Gu Siwei felt that it was really expensive, so he only bought a shovel.

While waiting for the salesperson to issue a ticket and take the ticket to pay, Gu Siwei took a fancy to the things on the counter of labor insurance supplies again. There was an ax in it. This kind of ax is not the kind of ax that chops wood, but a logging ax .

This thing can be distinguished by looking at the handle of the ax and the shape of the ax body.

Thinking about building a house, seeing such an ax, Gu Siwei was instantly attracted by it. After looking at the price, although it was extremely expensive, Gu Siwei still gritted his teeth and bought the axe.

After paying the money, Gu Siwei found that the meal tickets in his hand had been sold out, and there were only more than six yuan left in the fragmented tickets in his hand.
