Chapter 286 Buy, buy, buy!
Uncle Niu looked at the dishes on the table and thought, "How good is it? It's clearly New Year's Eve dinner quality!"
That’s not right, their New Year’s Eve dinner is not this sumptuous!
"Come on, come on, Old Cow, eat, eat!"
Boss Fu filled a bowl of rice and placed it in front of him, and Uncle Niu swallowed instinctively.
For him, two steamed buns were just a piece of cake, just enough to fill his stomach.
But he felt a little embarrassed to eat all the food on the table. Look at all the meats, they looked very expensive!
Boss Fu knew what this brother was thinking, and he picked up a few pieces of food and put them on his rice.
"Let's eat. After that, we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative, buy some things, and then go home!"
As soon as Fu Liang and Fu Ming heard that the meal was about to start, they immediately picked up their chopsticks and started to eat voraciously.
Seeing this delicious food, I was really starving.
Although Fu Wan's eating manners were not as rough as her two brothers, she also ate with relish.
The popularity of state-owned restaurants is well-founded. Not only is the braised pork delicious, but the bean sprouts are also delicious, fried to the perfect temperature.
The five people ate up all the food on the table. The whole table of food, including the packed beef, cost exactly twenty-six yuan.
The box for packing the beef was an aluminum lunch box, and I charged an additional 80 cents.
After lunch, they rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative. Uncle Niu was too lazy to go in, so he drove his tractor to a shady place to wait for them.
Perhaps because it was noon, there were not many customers in the supply and marketing cooperative at this time.
Fu Wan and Fu Ming walked into the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. The salesperson at the counter was even eating lunch with an iron lunch box.
"Awan, what do you want to buy?"
When going out today, Fu Lao Da didn't remember any of the things Ye Xiaocui asked him to buy, so he could only let his daughter see what to buy.
As usual, Fu Wan bought a few cans of milk powder, but she didn't buy malted milk. She felt that this stuff was a bit choking and not very nutritious.
However, she bought a lot of biscuits and noodles.
"Hey, comrade, do you have any instant noodles?"
When she saw the noodles, she suddenly remembered that she was thinking about instant noodles at sea a few days ago!
The salesperson quickly put down his lunch box when he heard this. The supply and marketing cooperative's business has been much worse since the opening of the Friendship Store.
These days, quite a few state-owned enterprises have gone bankrupt, so the attitude of the salespersons is very different from that of previous years.
"Comrade, we have instant noodles here!"
She took out a cardboard box from under the cabinet, which was a box of freshly opened instant noodles.
"This is the instant noodles that our supply and marketing cooperative just wholesaled. They're produced in Henan Province. The noodles are chewy and really delicious!"
Fu Wan picked up a pack and examined it. While the packaging wasn't as beautiful as those of later generations, it felt substantial in her hand. The large characters "Instant Noodles" on the packaging made her feel a bit dazed, as if she'd returned to modern times.
"Awan, is this noodle delicious?"
Fu Ming had never seen noodles packaged like this, so he picked it up to take a look.
Fu Wan nodded. Instant noodles are like opium. Once you eat it, you have to have a pack every now and then.
"How much is this instant noodles?"
"Fifty cents a pack."
Fifty cents, that’s not so bad.
Fu Wan thought about it and realized that a child like Fu Ling could eat a whole pack of instant noodles. If they were going out to sea, an adult would need at least two packs.
"Comrade, if I buy two boxes, can I get a discount?"
"Two boxes?"
The salesperson thought she had misheard until Fu Wan nodded affirmatively, and the upward curve of her lips could not be suppressed.
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask our leader."
She rushed to the office in a hurry. Fu Wan only waited for two minutes before she came out with a middle-aged female comrade.
"Comrade, do you want to buy two boxes of instant noodles?"
Fu Wan nodded. "Yes, could you please take a look? How much is a box?"
At that time, a box of instant noodles contained twenty-four packets. The female comrade took out her notebook and calculated the price.
"Comrade, a box of instant noodles costs twelve yuan. If you want two boxes, we can give you a discount of two yuan at most."
Twelve yuan is actually equivalent to one or two hundred yuan in modern times. There was no way around it, as instant noodles were still a rare commodity at that time.
"Okay, please bring me two boxes."
"Okay, comrade, please wait a moment!"
There is only one opened box of instant noodles under their counter. If they want two boxes, they have to go to the office to get them.
You know, they have to sell this box of instant noodles for one or two months, but I didn’t expect Fu Wan to buy two boxes at once.
Fu Ming did not stop Fu Wan from buying instant noodles. He had a hunch that what his sister bought must be very delicious.
Boss Fu didn't care at all. He had seen people eat this thing when he was a wandering ghost, but ghosts can't smell it, so he wanted to try it too.
So Comrade Fu Liang was left to watch Fu Wan spend more than 20 yuan to buy two boxes of noodles, but he did not say a word and just moved the things silently.
Just after leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, the Friendship Store was next door. Fu Wan had initially glanced at it curiously, but unexpectedly, her eyes were instantly drawn to the items inside.
"Comrade, is that... a television?"
The big iron box facing the gate of the Friendship Store looks familiar. Isn’t it the TV of that time?
"Comrade, you have good taste! This is exactly a TV. Our Friendship Store is the only one in the county that has this thing!"
Fu Wan started to think about spending money again. Without mobile phones at the moment, the radio was the only entertainment device for everyone to pass the time. If there was a TV at home, Ye Xiaocui could also pass the time while mending the fishing net.
What's more, it was 1985. If she remembered correctly, 1986 was the year when the classic drama "Journey to the West" was released. (This picture looks most like the TV I had when I was a child.) "Comrade, is this TV color or black and white? How much is it?"
Black and white TVs are not so good. Although you can see the picture, it still looks a bit strange.
"We have both black-and-white and color TVs. The black-and-white one is domestically produced and sells for 598 yuan; the color one is imported and costs 1298 yuan."
After saying that, the salesperson turned on the black and white TV next to him, carefully turned the switch next to it, and brought up the image.
This was the first time for Fu Ming and Fu Liang to see a TV and they found it very novel.
When Fu Wan saw the black and white tones, she felt that it was indeed a little lacking in flavor.
This black and white is so painful to look at!
"Comrade, please open the colored one and let me see it."
The saleswoman heard the customer's request and followed suit, but her movements were much more careful than when she turned on the black and white TV.
When the color TV picture came on, well, it finally tasted right.
Even Boss Fu couldn't help but nod, "The colorful ones look better!"
How can this not look good? The price difference between the two TVs is more than twice!
"Comrade, please write me an order for a color TV. I'll buy it!"
"okay!"
The salesperson was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. They got bonuses when customers bought things. She could make more than ten dollars from this color TV!
Shopping is addictive. Before the order for the TV was even made, Fu Wan noticed something covered with a cloth next to it.
But the cloth only covered a small half of the thing. Fu Wan could see clearly, my God, it was a big red motorcycle!
