The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 106, buy buy buy 2

There are many good things on the third floor. Large household items such as bicycles, watches, sewing machines, radios, and televisions, as well as various non-staple foods, are all on this floor. They are all relatively high-end products.

The flow of people here is no less than that on the second floor. Many customers come to the department store, even if they can't afford big things for the time being, they will come up to take a look and enjoy the experience, so there are many people at the counters that turn three times and ring every time.

On the third floor, Li Weiguo took Yu Yu and Yu Haitang straight to the radio counter. Some time ago, Li Huaide gave him a radio ticket as a reward, and they happened to buy them together today.

There is a lack of entertainment in this era. There are no mobile phones, no WIFI, and no rich movies, TV series and online series. When you go home at night, you are faced with four walls.

Those who have a wife can still make little ones with the door closed, while those without a wife can only go to bed.

Li Weiguo was not short of money either, so he bought a radio just enough to listen to the radio. This was a pleasure that lower-minded people in later generations would never experience.

When I arrived at the radio counter, I saw at a glance that there were many brands, including Panda, Shanghai, Meiduo, Veuve Clicquot, Feile, and Haiyan.

Basically, all domestic brands are available here, and there are many models. There are layers and layers of radios piled behind the entire counter, which looks quite spectacular.

After looking at it for a long time, Li Weiguo suddenly found a special radio in the most conspicuous position of the counter - a Panda 1501 floor-standing radio that is used for radio, electronic singing and recording.

This is a good thing. If collected in future generations, it would be worth 30-50 yuan. It is rare to find.

Li Weiguo immediately pointed to the Panda 1501 radio and said, "Comrade, please, how much does that radio cost?"

The salesperson glanced at Li Weiguo and said expressionlessly: "The newly launched Panda brand 1501 radio is very valuable. It costs yuan each and comes with a Panda brand exclusive radio ticket."

"I lost it!!!"

Li Weiguo almost choked to death. He could have imagined that this radio was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. In an era when the average monthly salary was 20 or 30, do you dare to imagine a radio costing 500 yuan?

This outrageous price frightened the two little girls Yu Yu and Yu Haitang. This was the first time they had seen such an expensive thing. The price of the ordinary three-turn and one-ring sounds was probably this amount.

Come on, don’t think about it, there are no special tickets, let alone the ridiculous price.

Take a shower and sleep

Nowadays, radios generally cost 100-150 units each. This Panda 1501 is really a breakthrough.

But it’s normal to think about it. The Panda 1501 radio was successfully trial-produced on New Year’s Day in 1959. It was officially named the Panda 1959 model before the National Day gift in 1501. It is a floor-standing radio that can be used for radio, electronic singing, and recording.

It was planned to produce 1501 units of 350, but 328 units were actually produced. The 1501 model and the 1502 model radio were later stopped in 1960 and were basically not sold to the outside world. Many were sent to foreign embassies in China.

Therefore, it is difficult to see the complete Panda 1501 or 1502 radios on the market in later generations. They are basically in museums.

Li Weiguo shook his head and gave up on such a high-end product as Panda. It was not that he couldn't afford it, but that the price was too ostentatious. It was not suitable for him, a small business owner, to use such a luxurious thing.

Giving up on the Panda brand, Li Weiguo turned to other brands of radios.

"Comrade, how do you sell Veuve Clicquot radios?"

"Brother Kai's radio, one hundred and twenty yuan, one radio ticket." The salesperson still said lukewarmly.

"Okay, could you please help me get one?"

Not caring about the salesperson's attitude, Li Weiguo took out the corresponding ticket from his pocket and handed it over.

After the salesperson confirmed the money slip, his attitude became slightly better, and he quickly clipped the money slip and bills to the wire above his head and handed them to the cashier.

Soon, after a set of procedures, Li Weiguo successfully got the radio. After three turns and one beep, he completed one more thing. If he had another sewing machine, everything would be complete.

Li Weiguo didn't feel very excited, after all, he had never seen anything before.

On the other hand, Yu Yu and Yu Haitang, the two little girls, were very excited. They hugged the radio as if they were their own sons. They looked at it again and again, touched it again and again, and couldn't bear to let it go for a long time.

Li Weiguo saw the two of them like this, so he teased: "Are we going to the non-staple food counter? If not, we will go home."

"Go, go, go, go." Yuyu quickly put down the radio and replied.

The snacks are the biggest in the world. She followed Brother Wei Guo here just to get some snacks. How could she miss it?

Yu Haitang also nodded quickly. Even if he didn't have money to buy it, he still had to enjoy it.

"Okay, let's go."

After that, the three of them walked towards the grocery counter with large and small bags.

There are a lot of people at the non-staple food counter, not only to look at it, but also to queue up to buy it.

There was a long queue for several days at such a large counter. The salesperson inside the counter was also very busy, constantly weighing and packaging various non-staple foods. The scene was very lively.

After looking around, Li Weiguo chose a team with fewer people, and the two of them, with Yu Yu, lined up directly behind the long queue.

"Brother Wei Guo, what should we buy that's delicious?" Yu Yu asked with a look of anticipation on his face, his big watery eyes flashing.

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"Anthracene, I want to eat candied fruits, fruit candies, dried apricots, crabapples, dried red berries, hawthorns, golden rooster biscuits, canned fruits, twists, pig ears, and..."

"."

Li Weiguo glanced at her speechlessly, how dare he think about it.

"Hehe. How about we buy some candied fruits?" Yuyu said with a sly smile.

After waiting in line for about twenty minutes, it was Li Weiguo's turn.

"What do you want?" the salesman wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked without looking up.

Li Weiguo didn't answer. He didn't know what tickets he had. He directly reached into his pocket, took out a large stack of food stamps, and handed them to the salesperson: "Comrade, you are tired, please help me calculate how much it will cost if I buy them all." .”

The salesman was immediately stunned. He stared blankly at the stack of food stamps in his hand. This was the first time he saw someone buying things in groups. Haha!

But unfortunately, during this period at the end of the year, the supply is limited according to the size of the household, so it is useless to have more tickets.

After the salesperson explained this, Li Weiguo sat on the wax. If he had known about it, he would have bought it earlier, and bought a little for him to consume in a day.

Fortunately, he occasionally goes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some non-staple food, and there is still a lot of it in the space, otherwise he would have to celebrate the New Year as hard as others.

The salesperson was quite reasonable and picked out a part of it, which was the quantity that Li Weiguo could buy according to the supply of small households, and then took the abacus and made a calculation.

"If you buy all these tickets, the total cost will be forty-eight yuan and thirty cents."

"Okay, if you're tired, help me buy everything." With that, Li Weiguo took out a wad of money from his pocket, counted out the corresponding amount and handed it over.

Although the amount that can be bought is not much, Li Weiguo has many kinds of non-staple food stamps. If you buy this lot, the quantity is quite large.

The salesperson took the money and quickly issued a receipt. After transferring the receipt to the cashier, he quickly called on a few waiters around him to help pack it.

More than 40 yuan is a lot of non-staple food. Even with the help of two people, it took the salesperson five or six minutes to weigh and pack it.

The customers who were queuing up behind him also looked at Li Weiguo with envy. Ordinary people just buy three or five items of non-staple food.

This is the first time I see someone buying almost all the non-staple food on the counter. Can I not be envious?

Seeing Li Weiguohao buying and selling like crazy, the eyes of Yu Yu and Yu Haitang, two girls next to them, gleamed.

Packs of non-staple food were being packed by several salesmen. Both of them couldn't help but swallowed. Li Weiguo had bought too much.

Peanuts, melon seeds, candied fruits, walnuts, chestnuts, dried apricots, hawthorns, plums, dried peaches, golden rooster biscuits, canned fruits, twists, pig ears, fruit candies, dried apricots, crabapples, and dried red fruits.

It really has everything, almost all the non-staple food types on the counter.

After buying the non-staple food, everything that should be purchased was almost complete. Li Weiguo didn't want to stay in the department store, mainly because he had too many things in his hands, and there were many people in the department store, making it inconvenient to go shopping, so he simply took two The girl went home directly.

It was extremely difficult to get in, and it was almost the same when going out. Fortunately, the department store had a special entrance and exit just for people to get out. Although there were many people, they could still squeeze out, otherwise the three of them would still be stuck with big and small bags hanging on them. It’s really hard to come out.
