Political Commissar Zhou was very dissatisfied with Zhang Wei’s tone:

"Isn't she Lu Haoting's wife?"

"Political Commissar, you don't know that she is a big shrew, and it's very unpleasant to curse people. I'm really worried that she will point at you and scold you!"

Zhang Wei told Political Commissar Zhou the gossip he had learned. After hearing this, Political Commissar Zhou frowned and lectured him angrily:

"Looking at her speech and behavior, she is not who you say she is at all. You don't want to follow others' words and label her randomly."

Zhang Wei felt aggrieved. What was he trying to do? He was afraid that the political commissar would suffer and be punished.

Zuo Jingyan didn't know that Zhang Wei knew her. After getting off the car, she felt like she had stepped into a period TV series.

Narrow streets, asphalt roads, vintage street lamps, green mailboxes, supply and marketing cooperatives, means of production stores, non-staple food stores and modern high-rise buildings are completely two worlds.

There were some small vendors doing business on the roadside. The bun seller just opened the lid of the pot. The steamed buns that had just come out of the pot were steaming, and the aroma penetrated directly into her nose. Zuo Jingyan's stomach began to sing "empty city strategy", she was hungry!

I was penniless and had to hold on even when I was hungry.

There are many things to buy, but the first step is to sell your hair.

Zuo Jingyan looked around and found an older lady with a perm to ask for directions:

"Comrade, do you know where the barber shop is?"

"The state-owned barber shop is on Sandao Street. Go ahead and turn left at the intersection."

Seeing that she was a beautiful little girl, the enthusiastic old lady gave her directions very enthusiastically.

"Do you have a personal barber shop?"

Zuo Jingyan did not leave in a hurry and asked her again.

In her previous life, she started her career by relying on hairdressing skills, and later learned beauty techniques. After she became famous, she opened a beauty and hairdressing school, retaining outstanding talents for her own use, and the business grew bigger and bigger, developing into a national chain beauty industry.

She did not stop studying just because she had achieved success in her career. She taught herself to get a medical certificate and went to South Korea to study medical cosmetology. She returned to China and founded a chain of medical cosmetology and cosmetic surgery institutions, and also established a cosmetics factory of her own brand, making money easily.

She had already thought about her development route last night. Making money from women was always the easiest.

If she knows how to cut and sew, she can open a tailor shop, but to open a tailor shop, you need to buy a sewing machine and an ironing machine, and also buy fabric buttons and so on, which requires a lot of capital.

She is also good at cooking, and can make spicy hotpot, Tianjin soup dumplings, Northeastern cuisine and Anhui cuisine. However, the catering industry is too hard for one person and requires a lot of capital.

In the end, I decided to stick to my old business as a hair salon. With the minimum capital, just a pair of scissors, a clipper, a mirror, a chair, a set of perm tools and perm water, you can open a small shop.

She can also expand her business, bring in bridal makeup, and make some homemade cosmetics to sell in the store.

But you still need to get familiar with the market first, and you can check it out by selling hair.

State-run stores charge low prices for hair collection, but she doesn't want to go there. Personal hair salons will charge higher prices. In addition, she also wants to see if people recognize individual hair salons?

The eldest sister heard that she was looking for a barber shop opened by someone and said:

"Yes, it's also called Meijun Barber Shop on Sandao Street, opposite the department store, but her shop is very expensive. For my long hair, it only costs eight yuan to get a haircut in a state-owned store, but it costs fifteen yuan at hers!"

Zuo Jingyan knew that people at this time considered themselves public and was afraid that the business of her personal barber shop would not be good, so she asked her eldest sister:

"Is her business good?"

The eldest sister smiled:

"It's not just good, it's great. I'm busy from morning to night and have to queue up. You probably won't be able to get in line at this time."

Zuo Jingyan asked with a smile:

“It’s expensive and there’s a queue?”

"The hairstyles she does are good-looking. Take my hair for example. It's cheaper to get it permed in a state-owned barber shop, but the permed hair makes you look old-fashioned, but the one she perms makes you look younger."

The eldest sister pushed up her hair and showed off proudly.

"Yes, yes, this hairstyle is very suitable for eldest sister."

You won't pay for your life by coaxing someone to death, and anyone will listen to you if you say good things.

In fact, my eldest sister’s hair also looks old. If I style it myself, it will definitely make her ten years younger.

"Yeah, haha, I'll take you there in case you can't find it."

After being complimented by Zuo Jingyan, the eldest sister smiled brightly and stopped buying groceries and enthusiastically led her the way.

"Sister, do you know where I can buy tickets?"

As she became familiar with the old lady, Zuo Jingyan began to ask sensitive questions.

If she wanted to make candied haws for Dongdong, she had to buy candies. It seemed that it was still a planned economy at this time. If she wanted to buy candies, she had to get sugar stamps. Sugar stamps were harder to get than food stamps.

The eldest sister lowered her voice and said to her:

"Sister, you have to go to the black market to buy it. The price is very expensive. Tell me what kind of tickets you want to buy. My sister's family is all working and I have a lot of tickets."

"I want to buy some candy stamps, meat stamps, food stamps and some kerosene stamps."

Zuo Jingyan talked about the tickets she wanted to use. Although she didn't have the money now, she would have it if she sold her hair.

Why should such long hair be sold for dozens of dollars?

"My sister has them at home. I'll get them for you when I get home."

The eldest sister is really bold and will go home to get it for her soon.

"Sister, we have to wait a moment. I'll sell my hair first, and then I can buy the ticket with the money."

Seeing that the eldest sister was going back to get it, Zuo Jingyan pulled her to tell the truth.

"You want to sell your hair? What a pity it is to sell such good hair?"

The eldest sister had just noticed Zuo Jingyan's two big braids, which were thick, black and shiny. She was even envious of them because she had a perm because she had very little hair.

Zuo Jingyan smiled:

"My hair is too long and falls down, and it's troublesome to wash it. I can get some money by selling it."

The eldest sister felt sorry for her:

"You can't get much money if you sell it to a barber shop."

The two of them were talking and turned to Sandao Street. They could see the department store in the distance. Opposite the store was the barber shop that the elder sister mentioned.

The eldest sister took Zuo Jingyan to the door of the barber shop without entering the room. She stopped and said to her:

"No, this is the barber shop. I'll go back and find a ticket for you. When you finish selling your hair, come find me at No. 126 Maoer Hutong. My name is Qin Shufen."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Qin."

Zuo Jingyan smiled and thanked her, and then looked around at the Meijun Barber Shop after seeing the eldest sister off.

The store is not big but the location is well chosen. It faces the department store and has lots of customers so there is no need to worry about lack of business.

Outside the door is a red, white and blue rotating column like those used in barber shops, and a plaque of Meijun Barber Shop hangs on the door.

The door of the shop was open, and there were many people inside, including people with perms and haircuts. The two long benches in the shop were full of people, and there were also people standing and waiting. It looked like the business was really good.

The owner of the barber shop is a woman, in her thirties, wearing a blue coat, and her face is red from work. She is so busy that she has no time to answer her questions. Zuo Jingyan is waiting at the door of the barber shop.

After watching it for a while, I felt that the owner of this hair salon was average in his craftsmanship. He didn't design hair styles for customers, let alone cut hair according to face shape and temperament. He cut the hair in the same way, but the speed was quite fast.

Zuo Jingyan was watching the excitement when a fight broke out in the room.

The shop owner, Liang Lamei, was too busy and forgot to unplug the power supply for a customer who had his hair permed. When he remembered, he pulled out the plug and took off the perm cap to see that his hair was all burnt.

When the customer saw that his hair had been permed into a yellow and messy chicken coop, he stopped drying it and pulled the boss to ask for an explanation:

"Look, you permed my hair, so I'll pay for it."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I won't charge you any more."

Liang Lamei proposed to solve the problem without charging money. When the customer heard this, he became even more angry and grabbed the boss by the collar and refused to let him go:
Chapter completed!
