Chapter 114 Big Purchase
When I arrived at the restaurant, I walked up to my mother Hu Xiurong, took out the money from my pocket, threw it on the table, and said with a smile: "Come here, Commander, collect the money."
Hu Xiurong smiled and picked up the money on the table. He counted the money and said with a smile: "Virtue."
"'Hao Zai Lai' buns are extravagant, four thousand and six, please accept them."
"What kind of virtue does this boy have?"
Hu Xiurong smiled as he spoke, took the money to the drawer on the counter, put it in, and locked it.
Liu Chen drove the car to the suburbs to pull some grass. The production team's horses were still at home. It would be terrible if they were hungry, so they had better get some grass to feed them.
I bought a sickle, grabbed a snakeskin bag, drove my Mercedes, and went to pull weeds.
When I came to the suburbs, there were grass everywhere along the dry river. I quickly cut a snakeskin bag. Now I am much more skilled at using a sickle. I remember when I first joined the production team and cut with a sickle, I almost cut my own hair several times.
My leg was cut, but it's fine now. This is true to the saying that practice makes perfect.
Put the grass into the snakeskin bag, put it in the trunk, and drive home.
Arriving home soon, I fed the horse grass first, and then went upstairs to take a rest.
I took out my mobile phone and saw that this watch is still very popular. I went online to buy some, some for men and women, and some for couples. I gave them the watch when I went back this time.
They are all one family.
Let's go with the wind, it's as fast as the wind.
I drove to an intersection and saw a plastic tarp on the ground with a bunch of colorful sandals scattered around. There was an old woman sitting on a stool next to her. The cardboard on the shoes said "Children"
Eight yuan, my lord, ten yuan.”
Liu Chen remembered wearing shoes like this when he was a child, plastic and transparent sandals.
Liu Chen parked the car aside, got out of the car and walked to the old woman's side.
Not to mention these shoes, there are quite a lot of colors including yellow, purple, red, white, etc.
The old woman looked at Liu Chen and felt that he didn't want to buy shoes, so she nodded and smiled.
Liu Chen is wearing a white shirt, trousers, and neat hair. He looks like a handsome young man at first glance. Generally, such people are asking for directions, and few people buy such shoes.
"Auntie, your shoes are quite nice."
"Don't think I'm cheap, these are waterproof, non-slip plastic soft-soled jelly beach crystal shoes. Buy a pair and you'll be guaranteed to wear them for a year or two."
The old woman watched Liu Chen take a pair of shoes and put them in his hands to look at them. Regardless of whether they were her clients or not, it was always right to introduce her own things first.
"Yes, the quality of these shoes is not bad."
"The quality is nothing to say. This is a batch of goods I managed to get during the factory's promotion. Young man, how many pairs do you want to buy?"
The old woman took a pair of sandals again and introduced them.
"Well, let's do it this way. You can make it cheaper for me, and I'll cover it all."
The old woman was shocked after hearing what Liu Chen said. Although she didn't know what kind of car Liu Chen was driving, she looked at it and saw that the car was new. A person driving a new car would have to start with a starting price of RMB 100,000 or 80,000.
The key to selling this kind of sandals is that Liu Chen is young and quite handsome.
But the old woman just thought to herself, it doesn’t matter who he is, as long as someone comes to buy her shoes, she will be done selling them.
The old woman thought for a while and said with a smile: "Young man, if you can buy them all, I will give you the lowest price, six yuan a pair for children and eight yuan a pair for adults."
"Auntie, look, you have quite a lot. The minimum is more than a hundred pairs. A pair costs five yuan for children and seven yuan a pair for adults."
"Young man, you are really good at bargaining. I really don't make money from you. Look at it, it's not easy for me either. I just make a living."
Liu Chen was also convinced. This bargaining technique still needs to be improved. The aunt is still good. Liu Chen was willing to give up. Who can you call me kind? In the end, the deal was five yuan for the child and seven yuan for the adult.
The aunt counted 76 pairs of children's shoes and 83 pairs of adults' shoes, totaling 961 yuan. Liu Chen directly paid 960 yuan.
Although in this era, fewer children buy such shoes, a pair of shoes for children today can cost tens of dollars, or cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Liu Chen thought to himself, most of the children in 1979 were barefoot, not to mention children, many adults were barefoot. The children's shoes were worn by the eldest brother and then passed on to the second child.
, the fourth child’s. Some shoes have been mended again and again, and the toes and heels are exposed, but they are not willing to throw them away. It takes another year of mending.
The last time Gou Sheng went up the mountain, his feet were bare. I don’t know when a thorn got stuck, and it became suppurated. He asked Liu Chen to help pick it out. When he saw the child’s feet, Liu Chen’s heart skipped a beat. There were thick calluses on the soles of the feet.
To be honest, I still feel very distressed.
Not to mention other people's shoes, even a few nephews and nieces don't wear shoes all year round. Firstly, they don't have them, and secondly, they are reluctant to wear them and want to wait until the New Year to wear them.
The shoes Liu Chen bought were not expensive at all. They only cost a few yuan a pair. The key was that they looked good. He thought about giving these to his nephews and nieces. Not to mention how happy they would be.
There are a few other ladies out there who would be extremely happy if they could wear such a pair of sandals.
Put your shoes in the car and drive to the supermarket.
Pushing the trolley, shopping mode started.
I'll have some more cooked beef. My nephews and nieces like it. I'll share it with my sisters when they go back.
Buy some more rice, noodles, and oil. There are many people at home during this period, so food is relatively expensive. I will give some to the family when the sisters go back.
Get a few pepper chickens and vacuum-pack them so they can be stored for a longer time.
Buy some more seasonings. Zhang Yanjun and Zhang Xiaodong want some more. They say their home-cooked dishes are not fragrant, so they want some more braised sauce packets.
Without realizing it, the car was full. Okay, that's all. There were too many and the car couldn't fit.
Push it to the cashier to pay. Not to mention, the things don’t look that good, so you have to pay one or two thousand yuan.
Put your things on the seat and go home.
Soon we arrived at the rental house. The horse had already finished eating the grass. Let's just finish it. Liu Chen didn't want to do it anymore.
I took out all the things, organized them, found a few large snakeskin bags, and packed them into several bags.
Looking at these colorful shoes, Liu Chen seemed to be able to imagine the joy of those nephews and nieces putting on the shoes, as well as Wu Yiyi's smelly kiss with saliva and snot.
Liu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After everything was packed up, I took a shower and lay on the bed to rest.
At this time, the phone rang, and it was a WeChat message from Ma Xinran.
"If I don't send you a message, don't you know how to send me a message?"
Here's another one: "What are you busy with? Can you go out for a meal?"
Liu Chen thought to himself, this is an invitation to have dinner with him, this girl is quite proactive.
Liu Chen replied, "There are no classes today?"
"The classes in the morning are over. There are no classes in the afternoon. You invited me to dinner last time, and I will invite you back this time."
Liu Chen thought to himself, being a teacher is very comfortable. There are classes in the morning, but no classes in the afternoon, and you can rest in the afternoon. It is still very relaxing.
There are also great teachers who teach and educate people, and there are also winter and summer vacations, which is great, and the time for rest is long.
Why didn’t I think about taking the exam to teach in the first place?
"Okay, where are you? I'll pick you up."
Ma Xinran sent the location to Liu Chen. Liu Chen changed his clothes again, took the keys, and got up to pick up Ma Xinran from school.
Ma Xinran taught at the county's experimental primary school. Liu Chen wanted to attend this school at first, but unfortunately his family had no money at the time, so he didn't come. It's still a regret for Liu Chen now.
Soon the car arrived at the entrance of the Experimental Primary School. Ma Xinran was wearing a pink blue dress with big slightly curled waves. She had a slim figure, carrying a shoulder bag and wearing half-high sandals. She looked very good.
There were several teachers standing next to them, and they turned out to be Ma Xinran's colleagues.
Liu Chen parked the car in the parking space, got out of the car, and walked towards Ma Xinran.
"Teacher Ma, I seem to be looking for you. You are so handsome."
Ma Xinran was a little embarrassed by the female teacher next to her, so she lowered her head and smiled.
Liu Chen walked in and said with a smile: "Xinran, let's go."
"Wow, you must be Teacher Ma's boyfriend, so handsome."
It turns out that the teacher is also such a nymphomaniac. I know that I am handsome, so I don’t need to repeat it over and over again. I will be proud, Liu Chen thought to himself.
"I'm not... I'm Teacher Ma's friend."
Liu Chen was afraid of having any bad influence on Ma Xinran, so he quickly explained.
It was okay if he didn't explain it. Once he explained it, Ma Xinran's face darkened, but he soon relaxed.
"You're not Teacher Ma's boyfriend? Handsome guy, I'm still single, why don't you consider me."
Liu Chen curled his lips and smiled, thinking, are all teachers today so open-minded?
"Go aside, let's go."
Ma Xinran patted the teacher next to her and pulled Liu Chen towards the car.
The two got into the car. Ma Xinran glared at Liu Chen and said, "Hey, you don't want to say he's my boyfriend?"
Liu Chen thought to himself, isn't this for your reputation? Why are you blaming me? You really don't understand good people.
"No, it's because of your reputation. I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you."
Liu Chen quickly explained, and Ma Xinran snorted, obviously not very satisfied.
"Okay, what are we going to eat? I'll treat you." Liu Chen quickly made up for it.
"No, I agreed to treat you. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you to it."
In fact, Liu Chen doesn't really have many requirements for eating. He owns a restaurant and he doesn't know what he wants to eat. Anyway, as long as he can eat enough.
"Then let's go eat seafood. I know there's a seafood buffet that just opened. It's pretty good. Let's go eat."
Liu Chen doesn't care anyway, as long as it's meat, it doesn't matter what he eats.
It doesn't matter to Ma Xinran what she eats, she just wants to stay with Liu Chen for a while longer.
