Travel back to the 80s to farm

Lin Jianmin took Shen Jing and the others for a stroll in the nearby streets!

Perhaps because there had not yet been reform and opening up, the street was basically filled with state-owned department stores, grocery stores, and cloth shops.

"Erya, do you want to go in and take a look?" Shen Jing asked, pointing at the grocery store in front.

Lin Erya joked: "Have you woken up from your eating addiction again?"

Shen Jing answered straightforwardly: "Hey, that's right!"

"Duo'er, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you!" Shen Jing asked Lin Duo'er.

"Sister Shen Jing, I don't want to eat. Don't waste money!" Lin Duoer quickly shook her head, then lowered her head and picked her fingers without saying anything else.

Shen Jing took Lin Erya into the grocery store. The store was full of merchandise. The items in the glass cabinets were arranged very neatly, and the salespersons were chatting leisurely behind the counter.

Judging from their attire, they were obviously from the countryside, and he didn't even look at them.

Shen Jing asked Lin Erya in her ear: "Erya, is it expensive to buy things here?"

Shen Jing didn't know the current prices, so she took 50 yuan from the box before going out in the morning.

Lin Erya replied in a low voice: "Everything I buy here is sold at a national unified price. I don't know the exact price!"

"Erdan, come here!" Lin Erya waved at Lin Jianmin.

"Aunt Erya, what's the matter?" Lin Jianmin asked.

"Erdan, how much are the things here?"

"Well, Erya, what do you want to buy? I'll go ask!"

"Shen Jing, what do you want to buy?"

Shen Jing counted on her fingers and said, "I want to buy some toilet paper, some soap, and some shampoo! Finally, some fruit snacks and so on!"

"Okay! I'll go ask!" After saying that, Lin Jianmin trotted to the salesperson and chatted with him for a long time before coming back.

"Shen Jing, we don't sell toilet paper or soap here. You have to buy them at the department store. We only sell sugar, fruit, cigarettes, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, peanuts, melon seeds, and fruit..."

"Oh, I see!"

Shen Jing walked to the counter and said word by word: "Comrade, please help me get a pound of apples, a watermelon, a bag of sugar, a bag of melon seeds, a bag of peanuts, and a pound of candy!"

The shop assistant who was chatting was interrupted by Shen Jing and said impatiently: "If you can't afford it after looking at it, you might as well not look at it!"

"Comrade, I'm not just looking, I'm buying!" Shen Jing emphasized again.

The salesperson reluctantly went to the shelf to get the product, and after about 10 minutes he came back with the product in his arms: "Here, what you wanted!"

Shen Jing looked at them and picked them up. These products were different from modern products. They were not packaged in plastic bags, but in oil paper! There was a piece of red paper on the outside with the name of the item written on it.

Shen Jing said to the salesperson: "Comrade, this sugar has melted a little, please help me change it!"

"Are you going to buy it or not? Why are you making so much trouble?" the salesperson shouted impatiently.

When Lin Erya heard her talking like this, she got angry all of a sudden. "How can you talk like that?"

"That's what I said, buy it if you want, you bumpkin!"

Shen Jing saw her arrogant look, but she was not angry. She said word by word: "Please call your store manager!"

"Who do you think you are to be able to meet the store manager!"

Shen Jing choked her: "What? You don't dare?"

"No one dares! I just want to see what a country bumpkin like you can say to the store manager..." After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.

After a while, the salesperson came down with a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman saw Shen Jing wearing a light blue dress, which was a popular style back then, and thought that she must be a young lady from a certain family. So she asked politely, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"

"I just ask you to give me some advice and ask her to apologize to me!" Shen Jing's tone revealed that she would not tolerate any refusal.

"Comrade, can you tell me what happened first?"

"Since we came in, the service staff did not come forward to greet customers. When I wanted to buy something, she spoke rudely and called us bumpkins! May I ask the store manager, how do you deal with sales staff who don't serve the people?"

"According to the regulations, the fine is half a month's salary!"

"I hope you can follow the rules. You don't want this matter to be reported to the Industry and Commerce Bureau, do you?"

"Comrade, don't worry, I will definitely handle it according to the regulations! I will pack whatever you want!" said the middle-aged store manager with an apologetic smile.

Shen Jing pointed at the goods and said, "Over there! A pack of sugar has melted a little. Can you help me get a new pack?"

Shen Jing didn't even ask the price, and directly handed the 50 yuan to the store manager! This shocked the salesperson who was just so arrogant: "A country bumpkin is so rich!"

The store manager took the money and rummaged through the cash box. "Comrade, I'm sorry, I can't make a change for this 50 yuan! If you trust me, I'll go to the department store and get some change!"

Shen Jing nodded! Then the middle-aged store manager went out to exchange the money.

"Oh my god, Shen Jing, you are so rich!" Lin Erya was also shocked!

"What? Am I rich?" Shen Jing was a little confused. She had no idea about the current prices. She was just comparing them according to modern prices.

"Oh my, it turns out that the clown is actually me!" Lin Erya complained, holding her forehead.

"no!"

About fifteen minutes later, the middle-aged store manager came back.

The middle-aged store manager said with a professional smile: "Comrade, the total amount of goods you bought is 1.96 yuan. Here is your change, 48 yuan and cents. Please count it carefully. We will not be responsible after you leave the counter."

Shen Jing gave the money to Lin Erya: "Erya, help me check it!"

Shen Jing doesn't recognize the current RMB very well, so it would be more appropriate to give it to the indigenous people.

Lin Erya took the money, counted it three times and said, "Shen Jing, the money is correct!"

After that, he whispered in Shen Jing's ear: "No counterfeit money!"

"Well, alright! Let's go!"

"Welcome next time!" The middle-aged store manager bowed together with the clerk!

"Forgot, manager! Please ask this clerk to bow and apologize to us!"

Then, the clerk apologized reluctantly: "I'm sorry!"

"Not sincere!"

Then the salesman bent 90 degrees and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the great man. Please forgive my rudeness and disrespect!"

Seeing that she was sincere, Shen Jing said, "You are a salesperson, just to serve the general public, it doesn't make you superior. As a service staff, your service attitude is the most important!"

After Shen Jing finished speaking, he turned around and left!

Lin Erya and Lin Duoer silently gave Shen Jing a thumbs up!

"Pretty!"

Lin Jianmin followed behind carrying a big bag.
