Siheyuan: Survival in the cellar at the beginning, don’t mess with me

Chen Xi ate the entire bowl of cornmeal.

"call--"

"It's still early, so I just went out to buy something."

After a simple breakfast.

Chen Xi found that there were a lot of things missing at home.

Let’s not mention the three-piece set (radio, bicycle, sewing machine, watch). This is a four-piece wedding set. Although most families cannot get it together, Chen Xi doesn’t want to be so modest and don’t just get it all. At least half of it.

Watches can be used to tell time, and bicycles can be used to go to and from school, or to and from get off work.

The former is equivalent to a 'mobile phone'.

The latter is equivalent to 'BMW, Mercedes-Benz'.

In this era of status, it is definitely a leverage!

Moreover, I don’t have enough clothes, just a thick military coat and a thin military uniform. Now that I have returned from the army, I can’t just walk around in military uniform every day. It’s almost time to buy some new clothes.

The light blue clothes on my girl's body are also three years old, three years new, and three years more mended.

It is also imperative to customize two new sets of clothes for her.

He didn't use the 2200 yuan in the wooden cabinet, as well as the meat stamps and food stamps, which were used to buy food.

Moreover, in this era, if you want to buy big things, you also need all kinds of receipts, not only if you have money, but industrial tickets, bicycle tickets, cloth tickets, these are the most important things.

unfortunately.

Chen Xi doesn't have any of these things.

However, he has a universal ticket in his hand - military ticket!

This is the real 'big brother'.

As long as you bring your military stamps, the receipts are not a problem at all. You can even directly receive what you want according to the denomination on the military stamps without having to pay extra, which is also a lot more convenient.

Chapter 37 Forever brand bicycle!Modu brand semi-steel watch!

Simply finished breakfast.

Chen Xi was ready to go out. First, he customized three locks at a nearby lock shop and asked them to install them directly at his door. It didn't cost a lot of money.

This is to increase the security and privacy of my own three houses.

Subsequently.

Chen Xi headed towards the department store.

In this era, many big-ticket items can only be purchased in department stores.

Seeing customers coming in, the salespeople in the department store also maintained a lukewarm attitude. They didn't think that customers were God. These days, having goods is the boss. Many guys who like "free prostitution" like to come in and shop. Go shopping, but don’t have the financial resources and industrial votes.

"Hello, I'm here to buy something."

"Are there any tickets?"

I heard someone talking to me.

The salesman who was in a daze raised his head and said coldly.

However, the moment he saw Chen Xi, his eyes immediately lit up. This young man was so handsome. Coupled with the thick military coat he wore outside, it showed his extraordinary status.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is a military discharge.

Otherwise, this thick military coat is generally unavailable.

He is good-looking, young, and has retired from the military. He must have a job arrangement, so this is a perfect potential stock!

thought here.

The saleswoman flipped up her hair, adjusted her makeup, and her attitude suddenly became enthusiastic. She was now 22 years old, not married yet, and now she saw a perfect potential stock. How can you not show off your charm?

If it succeeds, life will be wonderful in the future.

However, in Chen Xi's opinion, the salesperson's appearance only scored about 70 points, which was slightly higher than the passing line.

Lian Qin Huairu's appearance is about 85 points.

Chen Xi didn't even look at her, let alone her.

"A Forever 51 load-carrying bicycle, two Modu brand semi-steel watches, one for men and one for women."

"This...so much?!"

The salesperson suddenly looked a little surprised.

Bicycles and watches in this era are not cheap.

Moreover, to purchase these two items, you also need bicycle tickets and watch tickets. Even a factory may not necessarily allocate a few tickets in a year, but the young man in front of him, about 20 years old, actually opened his mouth and got one. Bicycle, two watches.

I'm afraid there isn't a 'mine' in this house.

"No goods?"

"No, no, no, we still have the goods, but we need a lot of money and tickets. Are you sure you have brought enough?" As if to confirm, the salesperson said, "A permanent 51-type load-bearing bicycle costs 200 yuan. Brand semi-steel watches cost 180 yuan each, totaling 560 yuan.”

Bicycles of this era.

Forever brand bicycles are of the highest quality, so they cost 200 yuan each.

Phoenix brand bicycles are 'women's aristocratic bicycles' and are slightly cheaper, only costing 160 yuan each.

The performance of the Feige brand bicycle is slightly weaker, but it is also a good bicycle and costs 180 yuan each.

Chen Xi also has a lot of retirement money in his hands, and he doesn't have much money to spare, so if he wants to buy something, he just buys the best one and gets it right in one step. The craftsmanship and materials used in bicycles in this era are all real, and they won't be enough even if they are used for ten or eight years. question.

As for buying a watch.

This is not to show off, but actually because there is no accurate sense of time these days.

Most people look up at the sun and estimate the time based on experience.

Besides.

We can only rely on the big clocks on department stores in every area.

There will be a sound every hour. The twelve o'clock sound of the heavy object is particularly loud and can be heard clearly by many people. However, Chen Xi still likes to be able to check the time anytime and anywhere, which is more convenient.

"Can I use this?"

Chen Xi put his hand into his thick military coat.

After touching for a while, he took out a stack of green military tickets and placed them in front of the salesperson.

"This is--"

"Military tickets, can I use them?"

"Okay, okay, of course it can be used."

The importance of military votes is naturally self-evident.

Every salesperson in a department store has received certain training and education before starting work. Their cultural literacy is at least beginning in junior high school. Naturally, there will be no one who does not recognize military stamps.

Military coupons are benefits provided by the country to military personnel.

The effect is absolutely stunning.

The stack of military coupons that Chen Xi took out was roughly estimated to be in the thousands, and it almost blinded the salesperson in the department store.

If it is an ordinary young man who takes out thousands of dollars in cash, others will not be envious. Instead, they will doubt the source of his money and may even report him directly unless he can prove himself. sources of income.

but.

If this young man took out military tickets, the situation would be completely different.

This shows that the other party is a soldier. He has made great achievements on the battlefield and is rewarded with military tickets. Those who see him will only have looks of respect and envy.

No one with a little bit of education would dare to steal a soldier's military coupons. The Dragon Kingdom is very strict in protecting this aspect. At the least, you will be jailed for decades, and at the most worst, you will be treated to peanuts. , as a warning to others!

.

Chapter 38 A spirited white shirt!The dragon country has a shallow foundation!

"The total price is 560 yuan. Since you used military stamps, you don't need to pay additional bills."

"........."

After carefully counting the prices, the salesperson respectfully handed the remaining military tickets back to Chen Xi's hands.

The price of a Forever 51 load-carrying bicycle and two Modou brand semi-steel watches is not low. According to the house price in the 60s, you can even buy a large courtyard house.

It cost an ordinary worker almost two years' salary without food or water.

Chen Xi didn't feel any heartache.

I still have a lot of military coupons in my hand, and it doesn't matter if I use them a little. As long as the reform era comes, it will not be a matter of minutes to make money with what I have in my hand.

After buying the bicycle and watch, Chen Xi still had 2436 yuan in military coupons.

"That women's watch, help me install it - come on." Chen Xi directly put the men's Magic City semi-steel watch on his wrist and said, "Put a steel seal on the bicycle for me, and I'll go Buy something from another counter.”

Bicycles in this era were big items.

Every bicycle sold must be stamped with steel, which means it has a national number.

So come on.

Even if it is stolen by others, it can be found quickly.

Just like the 'license plate number' of later generations, this kind of thing can also be entrusted to the salesperson in the department store, and Chen Xi just took advantage of this free time to pick out two more clothes that fit his eyes.

"Okay, guest."
