Siheyuan starts from a good life

"Let's go to Friendship Mall." Jiang Sirui suggested to Jiang Yan as soon as he got in the car after work that day.

The summer in Forty-Nine City is really difficult. Jiang Yan has been hiding in his own space these days, or getting some ice from the space and putting it in his room.

It's okay for me as a man to go shirtless this summer, but it's extremely unfriendly to girls.

Feeling his carelessness, Jiang Yan thought about starting to make amends. You don't have to think about air conditioning or anything like that.

my country's first air conditioner was born in 1954, which was a milestone in the air conditioning industry. At that time, our country's engineers successfully manufactured the first air conditioning equipment after years of hard research and development.

my country's first air conditioner used mechanical air conditioning technology. Mechanical air conditioners use mechanical equipment to cool and circulate air, including key components such as compressors, condensers, and evaporators. This air conditioning technology was very advanced at the time.

However, this air conditioner is mainly used in large public places, such as government agencies, large enterprises and institutions, etc. As for its appearance in the homes of ordinary people, it will probably have to wait until reform and opening up.

The next best thing is to buy an electric fan. The key is that this electric fan is also a rarity in this era.

Jiang Yan had asked his director before to see if he could get a ticket for an electric fan. After getting a negative result, he thought about whether there was one in the friendship store.

But even if there was a fan, Jiang Yan would not buy it if he had no other choice.

What can you say about the electric fans produced in this era? The quality is quite good, and the style is just that. The key is that the thing is quite heavy, and almost all of it is made of steel.

Jiang Yan remembered that in his previous life, he had a brick-and-stone electric fan produced by his father in the 1970s. It was older than him at that time. The key is that this thing was still functioning in the time he traveled through, and the quality was quite good. .

This fan is too heavy and difficult to carry, especially when Jiang Sirui is using it alone.

Jiang Yan just thought about it. If he didn't like it in this friendship store, he wouldn't mind making one.

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up when he thought of making an electric fan. He couldn't help but pat his thigh.

"That's right! You can make it yourself! The technology content of this thing is not high. If you make this novel-looking electric fan yourself, you might be able to exchange money at the Canton Fair!"

He went back to the courtyard to pick up He Yuyu, who had already finished school. He had promised her to take her to the Friendship Store before, so it was better to hit the sun on a different day. Jiang Sirui agreed, so he went back to take her, and after taking He Yuyu, he got in the car. Then he drove to the Friendship Store.

The Friendship Store in Sijiucheng is located along East Chang'an Street, on the bustling Jianguomenwai Street, adjacent to the embassy district and the CBD Central Business District. In future generations, this is a place where every inch of land is at a premium.

At the door of the Friendship Store, Jiang Yan showed his ID. Only after seeing his ID did Jiang Yan and the three of them get let in.

After entering, I realized how big this place is!

Steel Jiang Yan read the introduction of Youyi Store at the door and learned that the Youyi Store in Sijiu City has four floors and a business area of ​​more than 9000 square meters. The environment inside is spacious, bright, comfortable and elegant.

Jiang Yan was okay. He had gone to many high-end places like this in later generations, so he was not surprised. However, Jiang Sirui and He Yuyu had never seen such a clean and bright floor before. They could only stand at the door in a daze, not daring to say anything. Walk inside.

"Let's go! What are you doing standing still!" Jiang Yan pulled the two of them. Only in this climate did the two of them come back to their senses and followed Jiang Yan inside. However, even though they entered, they still followed Jiang Yan closely. Never leave.

"Brother Jiang Yan, I heard that you need foreign exchange coupons to buy things here." Jiang Sirui whispered after coming in.

"Yes, I'm bringing it with me! Just feel free to buy it!" Jiang Yan patted his pocket with a relaxed look on his face.

In addition to the 600-yuan foreign exchange coupon that my superiors rewarded me with as a favor, I now have yuan left, which is equivalent to two years’ salary of an ordinary worker. As long as I don’t buy anything big, it’s enough. .

Jiang Yan took the three people around the first floor. Now Jiang Yan had his eyes opened. The Friendship Store mainly deals in jewelry, diamonds, gold and silver jewelry, jade carvings, cloisonne, carved lacquer products, fine porcelain, Classical furniture, four treasures of the study, antique calligraphy and painting, drawn yarn embroidery, blankets and silk blankets and other traditional Chinese handicrafts.

Jiang Yan stopped in front of a shop selling jade, picked up a green and transparent jade bracelet and looked at it.

He just didn't understand, and he knew just by looking at the green color that the value of this jade bracelet was so small that it would cost less than a million in future generations.

When Jiang Yan saw the price of the bracelet, he almost cursed.

Can you believe that such a good bracelet only costs one hundred and twenty yuan in foreign exchange coupons.

And those milky white ones next to it look like jade bracelets and pendants made of fine jade. The most expensive ones only cost fifty or sixty yuan. Those small pendants are even cheaper, and a set of twelve zodiac signs carved from jade only costs about $50. Sixty dollars.

Jiang Yan quickly calculated in his mind that he would be sorry if he didn't buy this thing since it was in front of him.

Under the stunned look of the salesperson, Jiang Yan bought two pairs of emerald green jade bracelets, a set of zodiac pendants, some jade bracelets and some gadgets, which cost him almost three hundred yuan.

The man led Guanyin and the woman led Buddha. Jiang Yan handed two identical ice jade Maitreya Buddhas to He Yuyu and Jiang Sirui.

"You two, keep these two carefully one by one and don't let others know. They may be of great use in the future."

The two of them were a little confused about Jiang Yan's lack of answers, but girls all like these shiny things. Soon the two of them put Jiang Yan's words behind them and were chattering away with two jade pendants. discuss.

The second floor basically sells clothes and food produced by well-known domestic manufacturers.

These things are basically all kinds of fashionable "top-notch goods" that are not seen in the market. Many products were "special supplies" at that time: canned goods and white rabbit toffee from Shanghai Merlin, Western pastries from Qishin in Tianjin, and various products from Shengjing. Lao Lin, Suzhou's double-sided embroidery, Hangzhou's brocade, BJ Snow Lotus's cashmere sweaters and other things.

The two ladies couldn't walk after seeing these snacks. One of them held them with one hand, and looked at Jiang Yan with two pairs of big eyes.

It turns out that every woman is a foodie at heart, which is somewhat true.

Jiang Yan, who was not short of money, waved his hand, "Buy." As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, the two people cheered and rushed towards what they liked.

The snacks on the second floor were all bought for more than fifty yuan. The things were so big that they occupied the hands of Jiang Yan and the three of them. With no other choice, Jiang Yan could only go out and get them. The stuff is in the trunk of the car.

The third floor was basically filled with foreign food and clothes. Here Jiang Yan saw things like Coca-Cola, chocolate, whiskey, and Marlboro cigarettes.

However, this Coca-Cola is really expensive. A bottle of Coca-Cola costs three yuan in foreign exchange coupons. You must know that the current RMB to U.S. dollar ratio is 2.6:1. The foreign exchange coupons and RMB are one to one, which translates to about one dollar each for a bottle of Coca-Cola.
