Traveling through the ages, I relied on the sign-in system to become a boss!

Chapter 23 23. Department Store
  After some popular science by Brother Shi, Shiliu finally realized how powerful the production captain was. To put it bluntly, he was simply the local emperor of the production team. The reason why the life of the uncle's family is so good is partly because the uncle was a soldier back then, and partly because of the gifts given by the educated youth.

Most of the educated youths in Shijia Village come from relatively developed cities and have some things in their hands. When they come to the village, they will basically give something to their uncle. Although it is just food and drink, they can take advantage of it.

After a while, Shiliu suddenly remembered the red armband that haunted the original owner. Qian Guangzong's stepmother was named Bai. I bet they were still part of the same family. Pomegranate's eyes rolled, and she felt that she must find an opportunity to take down this family, otherwise her face would put her personal safety in danger.

A month passed unknowingly. During this period, it was true that Shiliu didn't ask about it, but opportunities like the brick factory were few and far between. The transportation factory she had been paying attention to was even more popular, and no master was willing to teach his disciples.

Brother Shi looked at his elder sister's anxious look and was moved in his heart: "Elder sister, stop working so hard. Temporary workers are so easy to find."

Brother Shi also comforted him: "Sister, just do your best and don't tire yourself out. Your most important task now is to study and strive to graduate from high school and enter a factory."

The corners of Pomegranate's mouth stiffened. How could it be so easy to get into a factory? She had information about her grades. After all, she was also a top student at a famous university in her previous life. The key is that now many factory recruitment information is only known to insiders. They have no connection. Many country people don't even have a chance to sign up, so how can they compete with others?

Brother Shi didn't expect that there were so many ways to get a job. Brother Shi sighed and said, "It's all because I don't have the ability. If I'm a worker, I won't be able to get into any unit based on my sister's grades."

Brother Shi thinks more than Brother Shi. If he first asked Shiliu to get a job, he just wanted to make it easier for his sister, but now he has deeper expectations. After the eldest sister is admitted to the factory, their family will know if there is any recruitment information in the factory. If Zheng Yue and Da Zhuang's grades are good enough, it will be a matter of time before they get an iron job.

"Sister, you should study hard and strive to become a city citizen. As for us brothers, none of us are good at studying. I'm just waiting to see how many good students will come out of the next generation." Brother Shi thought for a while and then asked. He said: "You also need to have a good relationship with your deskmate. Maybe you will have trouble finding a job. It's difficult to eat vegetables in the city. You should bring her some vegetables every time you go home."

Shiliu nodded: "Second brother, I know, and our relationship is quite good now. Eldest brother and second brother, you have all received your salary. Did mother tell you what to take back? If necessary, we will go there quickly Buy it at the department store, otherwise you won’t be able to buy it in the county later.”

Daqiao County is so small that it doesn't even have a department store. If you need anything, you can only go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it. However, the items in the supply and marketing cooperative are often incomplete and out of stock from time to time.

Brother Shi smiled when he heard this: "Mom asked us to buy you a bottle of cream. If we can exchange it for industrial tickets, we can also buy a big iron pot."

Mentioning the big iron pot, Pomegranate also smiled: "My mother has been talking about the big iron pot before, and I will buy her a piece of it this time." After saying that, she took out ten industrial tickets and handed them to her eldest brother.

Brother Shi took the industrial ticket without asking where it came from. In his eyes, his eldest sister was a capable person.

"I'll take you to the department store." Lin Shi said whether he was more familiar with Pomegranate or not. After all, Brother Shi and the others had been working in a brick factory, renting a house, and a small forest in the suburbs these days.

Brother Shi and his brother were so frightened that they dared not move as they looked at the bustling department store.

After Shiliu noticed it, she didn't feel embarrassed, she just felt sad. She thought that she would give her two brothers something later, and the third and fourth brothers would also have something. They were all brothers, so she didn't favor one over the other. Brother Shi couldn't walk when he reached the place where shoes were sold, and Brother Shi was not much better either.

Pomegranate knew what the two were thinking with just one glance, and said to the salesperson with a smile: "Sister, can you help me get four pairs of Jiefang shoes with size 44?"

"Okay." The salesperson was elated when she heard the sweet sister call, and quickly took out four pairs of new Jiefang shoes, "These four pairs are brand new."

Pomegranate took the shoes with a smile on her face: "Sister, thank you." She turned to her two brothers and said, "Eldest brother, second brother, please quickly try to see if the shoes fit. If they don't fit, change the size." That's right. Strangely, the men’s feet in the family are all size 44, and the women’s feet are all size 36.

Brother Shi's face turned red and he stammered, "No... no need, I have it at home..."

Brother Shi also shied away. The most important thing was that he felt there was no need to buy it.

Pomegranate impatiently wrote on the ground, asking the two of them to try it out for themselves, and then pay directly: "You can take a look at it for yourselves. I have already paid for these shoes, so don't fight."

Look what she found, white rabbit toffee! In the past, the old man always said that people are unreliable in doing business nowadays. The White Rabbit toffee sold by many merchants has added industrial saccharin, and the taste is not authentic at all. If you want to say the authentic taste, you have to count the toffee from the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, the factory They are all state-owned, with extremely strict quality control and full of milky flavor.

"Sister, help weigh 3 pounds of toffee and 2 pounds of fruit candy."

"Toffee candies cost 50 cents per pound, and fruit candies cost 50 cents per kilo, but you need sugar stamps. Comrade, do you have any sugar stamps?"

"Yes, here." She and the fat man exchanged these candy coupons. There were only 2 kilograms of candy coupons in total. The White Rabbit toffee didn't cost any coupons. Of course, the price was really expensive.

Then Pomegranate bought two kilograms of peach cakes. The peach cakes from Shan Province are crispy and taste great. It is said that people from other provinces who pass by Shan Province will definitely buy one or two kilograms of peach cakes to take home as a specialty.

Passing by a place selling wool, Pomegranate bought 3 kilograms and planned to knit a sweater for her mother Su Sanlan. The old lady has suffered a lot in her life. Even though she is now in charge of the food and drink at home, she is reluctant to eat and drink at all. Some good things are given either to her daughter or to her grandchildren.

To be honest, Pomegranate would come to the department store from time to time to sign in. She really didn't lack anything to eat or drink. She even signed in for a rare sewing machine, but it was a pity that she couldn't use it openly.

Brother Shi and Brother Shi saw their elder sister buying a basketful of things in the blink of an eye. They were so frightened that they quickly pulled her away. They couldn't stay in this department store any longer. What about bicycles? I didn’t even watch the radio.
