Rebirth 1986

Chapter 121 Why are you?

Anqing originally thought that Liyue Road was like some low-end consumer streets in the later generations, with many people and everything, but the prices were low. Who knew that after walking around in it, he realized that not only some cheap consumer goods were available here, but also There were even a few or dozens of pieces, and An Qing was also surprised to see a passerby holding a white rice cake with the words Longyun Sugar Factory in his hand.

An Qing dragged Su Chengwen to look for it all the way, and then saw a stall selling rice cracker candy at the end of the street, and there were two stalls on the left and one on the right corresponding to each other.

"I didn't expect Sister Xiaoyun and Xu Yilong to do business here. They are really capable." An Qing looked at the stall surrounded by the crowd and smiled lightly.

Su Chengwen also laughed out loud when he heard the words, "I have noticed this stall when I came around a long time ago, but at that time it was not so big, it was a little smaller, and it was only the one on the left. Seeing it became a big stall, and even set up a stall, but don't be too surprised, your rice cake candy is not popular at 01:30, there are other places in the city that sell it, and the business is pretty good, I remember Han Xiangyu mentioned it before, saying that his mother thought he had to wait in line to buy candy, so one day she specially dragged him to help buy candy."

An Qing laughed happily after hearing this. The business is good, of course. She hopes that the business will grow bigger and bigger and the rice cracker candies will be sold more and more popular. After all, there is her dividend here. The more money you have, just like the hen that lays golden eggs, the flow is endless.

The two wandered around casually for a while, bought some things, found a vacant stall at the end of the street, ate two bowls of noodles casually, sat and rested for a while, and Su Chengwen led An Qing around the corner , turned out from Lile Road, walked along the path for a while, and arrived at the side entrance of Honghu Department Store.

An Qing reckoned the time it took to come here, and it didn't even take 10 minutes to walk from Lile Road to Honghu Department Store.

"This Liyue Road really extends in all directions. It's lively and close to the department store. Chengwen, do you think the business will be good if you open a store here?" An Qing stood at the door of the department store, watching the endless stream of traffic behind him. The crowd suddenly asked.

Su Chengwen patted his body, and helped An clean up his clothes, "It's not impossible to open a store, and the location is good and the traffic is busy here, but what are you going to sell, is it rice flower candy?"

"Of course not. When the sugar factory was built, I promised Xu Yilong and Sister Xiaoyun that I would no longer make rice cracker candy privately for sale, and there are already people selling it here. The sharing business is not so easy. "

"Then what do you want to sell?"

"I haven't decided what to sell, but I have some ideas in my heart. I have to look at it before deciding whether it will work. I will tell you when I make a decision."

Su Chengwen didn't force An Qing to tell him right away, he knew that An Qing had a lot of flexibility and ideas, and was better than him in doing business, so he just said: "Then let's talk about it later, let's go in first For shopping, the Honghu department store has a relatively complete range of things, much better than the supply and marketing cooperative at home, you can see what you need, let's buy it together and send it back before going out."

"Okay, just buy some daily necessities. I didn't bring some things when I came here. If I want to stay here for a long time, I have to buy them."

Su Chengwen nodded, and pulled An Qing directly around the place where grain, oil and food were sold on the first floor, and went up to the area where daily necessities were sold on the second floor, where several rows of closed wooden counters inlaid with glass were neatly arranged. There are a wide range of daily necessities for home use. Compared with the cleanliness of supermarkets in later generations, it looks a bit fragmented and scattered, but it makes Anqing feel very friendly. Walking around the cabinet, Anqing saw a lot of good things. Since I wanted to stop here for a long time, I was not polite and bought bits and pieces.

After wandering around the daily necessities area on the second floor for a while, An Qing picked out all the things, and Su Chengwen took the receipt to pay the bill. The two carried the things and went to the place where clothes and leather shoes were sold. Su Chengwen bought a pair of leather shoes, and Su Chengwen’s were ordinary black men’s models, while she herself chose a pair with a little heel. The uppers were light brown, and they came with shoe polish and brushes. The bare shoes cost 49 yuan.

When Su Chengwen went to check out, An Qing asked the staff at the counter to help her polish the rough spots on the heels of her shoes. While she was busy, a man suddenly came up and stood a few meters away looking at An Qing. clear.

An Qing noticed that someone was watching her and quickly stood up straight, and saw a man in a formal Chinese tunic suit looking her up and down, An Qing couldn't help frowning, although it was right to be seen by others, but it is not easy to be appreciated by others with this kind of evaluation. It's a bit upsetting.

The man may have noticed An Qing's impatience, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Zhao Jianguo, what's your name?"

An Qing didn't reply, just frowned and said, "What's the matter with you?"

"It's like this. Is the gentleman who was with you just now your husband? I want to ask where you bought the clothes on your body. I also want to buy a set for my wife and myself."

An Qing was stunned for a moment, then glanced down at the clothes on her body, and when she looked up again, there was a smile on her face. It turned out that she had taken a fancy to the clothes, as long as there was no malice.

"Sorry, I made these clothes myself. There are only two sets of clothes for me and my husband. They are not sold elsewhere."

"You made it yourself?" Zhao Jianguo exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder your clothes seem to be a complete set, and they should be paired with men and women, right? Your husband's top is from the same series and material as yours. His should be a Chinese tunic suit, but it seems that the collar and cuffs have been changed a little bit around the waist?"

"Some changes have been made." An Qing nodded and said, and didn't say much about it, but she was obviously curious when she looked at Zhao Jianguo. When she was making these two sets of clothes, she made some small changes. , the material is made of double-layer polyester, but one is the outer material and the other is the inner material, but Zhao Jianguo can tell at a glance that it is the same material, and he can also see where she has changed. This kind of eyesight is not ordinary people can have.

At this time, Su Chengwen, who went to pay the bill, also came back. When he saw a man standing in front of An Qing, he obviously paused, and then strode up, "An Qing, what's the matter, what happened?"

"It's nothing, his name is Zhao Jianguo, he came to ask about our clothes, and said he wanted to buy a set for her lover." An Qing said softly.

Only then did Su Chengwen feel relieved, when he heard An Qing ask, "Have you settled the bill yet?"

"It's done, we've finished shopping, shall we go back or what?"

An Qing thought for a while and said: "Let's go back first, it's not easy to go anywhere with these things, go back and put the things away before we come out, Mr. Zhao, if it's okay, let's go first."

Zhao Jianguo hurriedly stopped him, "Please wait a moment, I really like the style of your clothes, I wonder if we can talk about it?"

An Qing frowned slightly, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time today."

"It doesn't matter, I don't have time today and I can change it to another day." Zhao Jianguo said with a smile, he took out a small notebook from his pocket while talking, and there was a pen pinned to his chest pocket, and he quickly wrote and drew on the paper after taking it out After a while, he tore off the written paper from the notebook and handed it to An Qing, "This is my contact information, you can contact me when you have time, I really care about these two The dress is very interesting."

An Qing took the paper, saw a phone number written on it, and nodded with a smile, "I will contact you if I have time, then let's go first, goodbye."

Zhao Jianguo watched An Qing and the two leave, and then walked around the second floor, looking at the clothes that were still old, shook his head and left the department store,

An Qing casually stuffed the phone number given by Zhao Jianguo into his clothes bag, and he and Su Chengwen went to catch the bus with big bags and small bags. When they got back, the bus was not as crowded as it was at noon, and the two of them sent all their things back. home, Su Chengwen continued to take An Qing to the Xinhua Bookstore. The bookstore was not far from where they lived, and it took less than 10 minutes to walk. The two bought some books in the bookstore, and then went to the nearby house. The vegetable market and the small shop selling daily necessities familiarized themselves with the surrounding environment, and it was already dark when they were waiting to go back to the house again, and the whole day passed like this.

In the evening, Anqing naturally cooks. He takes out all the bacon and sausages and prepared pickles brought from home and arranges them. Then he cooks a good meal to comfort Su Chengwen's stomach. After the meal, the two talked and laughed affectionately for a long time. Just snuggled up and fell asleep.

After that, Su Chengwen accompanied An Qing around for two consecutive days, basically took her to get familiar with the surroundings, and then took her to see his work place, and then he was urged by the busy Han Xiangyu to go back to work. Class, and An Qing also settled down, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, replaced the new mattress and quilt, and removed all the old quilt covers to wash.

At this time, Tongzilou did not have a separate balcony for each house like later generations, but only a large extended three-story building in the direction of the sun, and there was an aisle in the middle of the Tongzilou here, separated by a small iron gate. , A few concrete and steel bars were inserted on the roof over there, and ropes were tied to them, which became a place for people upstairs to dry clothes and quilts.

When An Qing walked over with a large basin of clothes and quilts, half of the place over there was already full of clothes to dry. She found an open space, wiped off the dust on the rope, and then shook the quilt to dry it. When it was good, he heard the small iron door behind him being opened, An Qing hurriedly turned around to look, and stared in surprise when he saw the person coming with a basin.

The people who came over also saw An Qing, and said in surprise, "Why is it you?"
