1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 458 So Handsome! (1/2)

Seeing Li Duoyu being stopped.

Xiaoying, Xiaojiu and the others were all stunned. He was the main person who came to the Friendship Store to spend money this time, and the foreign exchange coupons were all in his underwear pocket.

He had shown the foreign exchange coupons like them, so why was he stopped? He even had to check his ID.

They were just ordinary people, so where could they find any ID for him to check.

Li Duoyu frowned, and his intuition told him that the fact that he was stopped had nothing to do with his appearance.

He was a little dark, but he still had the temperament of a leader, so it was not that a group of people would stop him alone.

He glanced at the two "agents" who had just talked to them, and they really looked gloating over there.

Li Duoyu sighed, and had guessed that these days, people who make money have dark hearts.

But if it were according to the rules, the Friendship Store would indeed be open only to foreigners and overseas Chinese.

But after the opening, as the people became richer and richer, and the foreign exchange coupons increased, a rule that was not on the table was gradually formed.

That is, as long as you have foreign exchange coupons, you can go in and buy. After all, the rules are fixed and earning foreign exchange is real.

But if this "gatekeeper" must be called real, he really can't go in. After all, the sign at the door that says "This store only receives foreign guests, no unrelated personnel allowed" has not been removed yet.

After Li Duoyu greeted the other party's mother dozens of times in his heart, he showed a puzzled expression on the spot and cursed in Japanese on the spot:

"Seven Kuxiou. Why can everyone go in, but I can't go in alone? Are you deliberately not letting me in?"

Li Duoyu's fluent Japanese made the waiter dumbfounded instantly.

This man looked dark-faced, like a bumpkin, how could he speak foreign languages ​​so well?

Seeing that the other party could speak Japanese, the waiter, who was a little scared, quickly said: "Sorry, please speak Mandarin."

Li Duoyu looked at the waiter angrily and performed in a very "stifled" Mandarin.

"What's your name?"

"Call your manager over. I want to complain. You have double standards and treat me differently."

When he heard that he was going to call the manager, the waiter got nervous instantly and forgot to check his ID.

Because he didn't stop him randomly, he was instructed just now, so he stopped him on purpose.

The purpose is very simple, that is, to deliberately not let him in. If he wants to go in and buy things, he can only go to these "agents" outside.

Usually, these agents outside will try to communicate with the customers who want to go in first. Once they find that the other party wants to buy a large item.

They will wink at the doorman and ask him to use his power to stop him.

And he also got a commission for this business, but he didn't expect that he would run into a tough guy this time.

He has accumulated a lot of experience as a doorman for the past two years. Indeed, there are many Chinese who pretend to be overseas Chinese and foreigners to get in.

But he can hear their stifled foreign languages ​​at a glance, but he never thought that this person would speak Japanese so well. It feels that he is most likely a returned overseas Chinese.

The waiter was helpless. He had seen many overseas Chinese, all of whom were delicate and arrogant.

How could there be overseas Chinese with such rough skin and seafood smell all over their bodies?

And the moment this man opened his mouth, he wanted to complain and see the manager, which made him panic instantly. If the manager knew that he deliberately stopped people.

He would be criticized 100%, and he might even be fired in serious cases.

He spent a lot of money to buy this position. Before the matter got out of hand, he quickly bowed and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I don't know your identity, really, I'm sorry."

Seeing the waiter suddenly apologize, the two young "agents" were also scared and sweated.

This waiter was the fundamental guarantee for them to come and go freely here. If he was fired, then this business would not be able to be done.

Fortunately, the "overseas Chinese" was too lazy to argue with them. After a few curses, he went into the store.

After Li Duoyu went in, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. The waiter glared at the two "agents", as if to say: I will settle accounts with you later.

Seeing that Li Duoyu forced the waiter to apologize with just two words, his uncle Chen Dongqing couldn't help but sigh:

"Your Japanese is quite intimidating at critical moments. If it were me, I would probably be scolded."

Aunt looked at his uncle with a little disdain: "Look at you, you two went to the same training class, Duoyu's Japanese is still so good now, how many words do you remember."

Uncle Chen Dongqing snorted: "Who said I don't remember, Yamedie, Siguoyi, these words, I remember them very well, okay."

Aunt frowned and asked: "Duoyu, what do you mean this time?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly.

"Probably, it means very powerful."

This era is very "worshiping foreigners" and feels like the main theme, even exaggerated to the point that everything foreign is good.

As long as you can speak a few fluent foreign languages, others will be envious. If you can walk and talk with foreigners, they will be envious.

At this time in the previous life, Li Duoyu really felt that the moon abroad was rounder than the moon in China.

And foreign friends have a very high status in China. These days, even if they are a street sweeper, they can be treated as foreign guests in our country.

After entering the store.

Maybe because it is close to the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of people in the store, especially at the four major counters.

Even in the 1980s, the four major items in many places still refer to three turns and one ring.

But in the Friendship Store, the four major items refer to color TV, refrigerator, washing machine and three-in-one machine. Ordinary households with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan may not be able to buy all four major items.

But what is puzzling is that in this era, it is obviously not easy for everyone to make money.

But the current scene is really confusing. It is really the same as what the two purchasing agents said. Everyone directly holds foreign exchange coupons and queues up to buy these things.

"I want a Panasonic color TV."

"Give me an imported refrigerator."

My uncle Chen Dongqing looked at these people with envy: "Did these people get their money from the wind?"

My aunt rolled her eyes at him: "You are incompetent, and you still blame others for making so much money."

"I am a section-level cadre, and I am still incompetent?"

"You also call that a section-level cadre? The stationmaster of our grain station is the real sectionmaster."

My uncle's mouth twitched.

Although, but. She is right.

They walked forward two steps, and Li Duoyu saw a counter with the words "Taiwanese counter" on it.

There must be goods from overseas provinces, mostly some wine and cigarettes, and various shampoos and the like.

Not long after entering the store, my aunt seemed to have been here before, and she took Xiaoying to the counters selling clothes and cosmetics.

"Xiaoying, let's go, I'll take you to see the clothes."

According to the original plan, Li Duoyu originally planned to buy the four major items before the New Year.

But unexpectedly, the windmill project was not so fast, and there was no electricity on the island now, so it couldn't be used after buying it.

In addition, electrical appliances are updated very quickly, and maybe when there is electricity on the island, new products will come out.

So there is no need to rush to buy, he walked forward a few steps and came to a counter with not so many people.

"Comrade, how much is this air conditioner?"

The salesperson in blue-gray work clothes looked at Li Duoyu for a few times, and said impatiently: "This one is expensive." Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.

Sometimes, I am really annoyed by these salesmen. I asked how much it cost, and you just told me how much it cost.

I came to buy an air conditioner, how could I not know that it was expensive? This thing is really a luxury among luxury goods in this era.

Li Duoyu felt that people in this era really judged people by appearance. It is true that he does not like to dress up, but it does not mean that he has no money.

Li Duoyu said impatiently: "Just tell me how much it costs?"

Seeing that the customer in front of him was a little angry, the salesperson frowned and said with a little contempt:

"This is imported, from Toshiba. The window air conditioner on the left costs more than 5,000 foreign exchange, and the split one on the right costs more than 8,000."

After seeing the salesperson finish the price.

Li Duoyu said very calmly: "It's okay, it's not very expensive. I thought it would cost 10,000."

After that, Li Duoyu left directly.

"Dongqing, let's go and look at the toilet and sofa first."

This made the salesperson's mouth twitch, but he was cursing in his heart.

"Fuck, no money, no money."

"Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"

Li Duoyu really didn't like shopping, so he went straight to the counter next door that sold toilets.

This counter was very deserted, and no one even came to watch.

Li Duoyu found that most of the toilets sold now were split-type, the kind with hand-pulled flushing, and the color didn't seem to be all white, but a little emerald green.

However, Li Duoyu didn't care. After asking the price, he thought it was about right, so he bought the toilet directly.

The waiter was so straightforward that he was stunned, and the salesman who just sold air conditioners had his eyes wide open.

Could this person really be rich?

He paid a little attention, but he didn't expect that this person, in addition to buying a toilet, also bought a whole set of sofas and imported spring beds in the store.

He has been in this business for many years. Those who buy four big items in the store are not necessarily rich people. Many people are pretending to be rich, and maybe they even borrow money to buy them.

Those who come to the store to buy these furniture and air conditioners are definitely rich people.

Damn!

This person might really want to buy an air conditioner, but he probably didn't buy it because he was not happy with him.

After Li Duoyu finished shopping, he happened to see the camera counter and bought a camera.

My uncle asked curiously: "Duoyu, can you take pictures?"

"Taking pictures is such a simple thing, how can I not know how to do it? With my current skills, I am more than enough to be a photojournalist. If I take pictures well, I may even be able to join the Photographers Association."

"You are just bragging."

My uncle said: "If you really know how to take pictures, teach me how to take pictures when you have time. I like being a photographer."

"Sure, but you have to become my apprentice first and call me master."

"Fuck you."

Because Li Duoyu bought large items, it took a long time to pack them, and he had to wait until the afternoon to pick them up.

At this time, Xiaoying and her aunt also came back from shopping. Zhou Xiaoying bought a Montagut sweater, and her aunt had a lot of things in her hands.

After seeing these things, the corners of his uncle Chen Dongqing's mouth couldn't help twitching. He really cared about his wallet.

The money earned this year was probably spent again, and he had to work hard to make money next year.

After seeing Li Duoyu, Zhou Xiaoying immediately said, "I just showed you a very nice suit. I'll take you over to try it on."

"No need, I'll be in the sea all day long, so there's no need to wear a suit."

Zhou Xiaoying said seriously: "Aren't we going there soon? You have to dress decently. We can't embarrass the leader."

At Zhou Xiaoying's insistence, Li Duoyu was taken to the garment area, but what Li Duoyu didn't expect was.

What Zhou Xiaoying brought him to was a custom-made suit shop. It didn't look cheap at first glance, and all the fabrics seemed to be imported.

Perhaps because of the previous discussion, when the waiter came up, he measured it with a meter ruler and said, "Your wife has a good figure and is very suitable for wearing a suit. Would you like to choose a style and try it on?"

Zhou Xiaoying pointed to one of the black suits and said, "That's it. It has a white shirt, tie, belt, and leather shoes to match."

"no problem."

Perhaps because of Xiaoying's temperament and her aunt's fur coat, Li Duoyu could clearly feel that this waiter had a very good attitude.

After a while, Li Duoyu was pushed into a dressing room by Zhou Xiaoying.

Speaking of which, he seemed to have worn a suit once in his previous life, on the day of his son's wedding, but that was all.

"Duoyu, are you ready?"

Following Zhou Xiaoying's urging from outside, Li Duoyu stuffed his white shirt into his trousers and tied on his belt.

After getting dressed, Li Duoyu combed his hair and walked out of the fitting room.

After everyone saw Li Duoyu changing clothes, their eyes widened, because Li Duoyu perfectly interpreted the saying "a man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle".

It may also be because Li Duoyu usually looks slovenly and wears casual clothes, but after suddenly putting on a suit, his whole temperament changed.

My uncle and aunt couldn't believe that Li Duoyu, who was usually carefree, looked so elegant in a suit.

Really handsome!

Zhou Xiaoying was very satisfied, with a smile on her face, and she quickly said: "Comrade, that's it."

Li Duoyu blinked. When he put it on just now, he had already noticed that this set was imported from beginning to end.

"How much does this set cost?"

The waiter frowned slightly, and then said: "The fabrics, belts, ties, and leather shoes are all imported. If you add them up, the price is almost a thousand and two."

Li Duoyu took a breath of air. Although he knew it wasn't cheap, he didn't expect it to be so expensive.

You can buy a small-sized color TV at this price.

Besides, clothes that cost twenty or thirty yuan are too expensive for him. He usually wears vests and shorts that cost two or three yuan.

Li Duoyu said: "This is too expensive."

But Zhou Xiaoying was unusually insistent: "You look good in this suit. I'll pay for it and buy it for you."

Li Duoyu met Zhou Xiaoying again today. It's not that this woman doesn't know how to spend money, she just doesn't want to spend money on herself.

When it comes to spending more than a thousand yuan on your own man, you don't feel like blinking an eye.

Li Duoyu sighed: "Okay then, I'll do the math."

Just when Li Duoyu was about to pay, Zhou Xiaoying stopped him directly.

"It doesn't make sense for me to pay for your clothes and use your money to buy them."

After Zhou Xiaoying finished speaking, she said directly to the waiter: "We just bought this whole set, and we will make a new set according to this size."

The waiter was stunned for a while and then said: "Okay, we will arrange for the master to customize them immediately. You can take these belts, leather shoes and ties back first. As for the clothes, it may take three days to be ready. By then, you Just bring the receipt."

Originally, she didn't think the order would be closed, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so forthcoming.

The waiter glanced at the man in a suit and felt that this man was really lucky. Not only did he have such a beautiful wife, but most importantly, she was willing to spend money on him. (End of chapter)
