Rebirth in the 80s: From street stalls to the spotlight of domestic products

Due to geographical constraints, Zhangbei City is not considered prosperous. It has always been at the bottom of the economy in the entire province. It is also a prefecture-level city, and it is much more prosperous and lively than a small county town.

After getting off the car, Li Enhui went from being excited at the beginning to being a little hesitant now.

Even though she grew up in the city, due to family reasons, her activities were limited to the area around her home. Not to mention shopping, she had to run all the way to buy groceries. She would be scolded if she was a few minutes late.

So now she was a little happy but also a little timid. She subconsciously held Wang Muzhi's sleeve and sighed as she looked at the endless flow of the road and the surrounding tall buildings.

"Muzhi, this is the city, it's really nice."

"Come on, let's go to the shopping mall in the city. There should be something I want in there."

Even though Wang Muzhi has lived his whole life again, it has been an unknown amount of time since he last came to Zhangbei City, but Wang Muzhi still remembered the location of the largest shopping mall here. After walking along the road for about 10 minutes, the two of them arrived. In front of Zhangbei Shopping Mall.

Looking at the building in front of him, Wang Muzhi naturally felt nothing, but Li Enhui next to him was shocked.

"Why, were you shocked?"

"I've never seen such a tall building."

Looking at the five-story shopping mall in front of her, Li Enhui nodded unconsciously.

"This is nothing. In the future, there will be many buildings with seventy, eighty, or hundreds of floors."

"You lied to me. How could there be such a tall building and it still collapsed?"

Facing Li Enhui's rebuttal, Wang Muzhi smiled and said nothing. Time will prove everything he said.

Entering the shopping mall, a dazzling array of products appeared in front of him, but Wang Muzhi looked down upon them.

Isn't this just a large department store?

In my previous life, I was used to seeing big shopping malls, but the shopping mall in front of me now was really different from what I imagined.

But right now this is the best condition that can be found.

And the sales staff there are much more professional than those in the county.

Wang Muzhi's eyes were quickly attracted to the candy counter, where stood a slender and tall beauty with two dimples on her cheeks when she smiled, happily entertaining the customers in front of her.

"Enhui, buy some candies. The variety here should be more complete than ours. By the way, I will show you what a real professional salesperson looks like. We should also train such salespersons in our store in the future."

Wang Muzhi rarely praised others. Seeing Wang Muzhi speak like this, Li Enhui's curiosity was immediately aroused, and the two of them walked towards the team.

Sugar is still very precious in this era, and the price is naturally much higher. Therefore, although there are many people in line, each person cannot buy much. Soon it was Wang Muzhi's turn.

"Comrade, what do you want to buy?"

"Tell me what you have here. I want to buy a lot."

The salesperson took a step back and spoke without thinking.

"Comrade, this is all about personal taste. If you like sweet things, then you can buy toffee produced in the north. In the south, because sucrose is produced, people don't like things that are too sweet, and they mainly focus on the flavor. and topping selections.

Candy production characteristics vary from place to place. The crispy candies in Beijing are fragrant and crispy, the butter balls are really sour, and the umami fruit candies have their own characteristics. The coffee candies in Kaishilin, Jinmen, and the various wine-filled candies in Bingcheng are very popular. , Shanghai-style toffee is finely processed and naturally more expensive, while White Rabbit Peanut Nougat is full of creamy flavor..."

The salesperson's mouth was like a machine gun, and he described the characteristics of more than a dozen kinds of candies in a clear and concise manner. Each one was completely correct, and his voice was smooth and smooth, which sounded particularly pleasant to the ears.

Li Enhui looked at the other party with admiration in her eyes.

I thought that all salespersons in the world were like those in the county, but I didn't expect that the salespersons here were so polite and professional.

This was one of the reasons why Wang Muzhi brought her here.

Only by increasing your knowledge can you broaden your horizons and avoid being a frog in a well.

"White rabbit, halva, fruit candy, and toffee. Give me two pounds of each of these four kinds."

The salesperson nodded in agreement, weighed, bagged, packed, and tied the rope, all in one smooth motion.

There were no plastic bags in this era, all paper bags were used, and the packaging techniques were professionally trained. A rope flew up and down in the salesperson's hands, and it was done quickly.

I heard that Wang Muzhi bought the candy for his wedding, and the salesperson thoughtfully used a red paper bag, which made it look even more festive.

"Muzhi, let's go back."

Li Eunhui asked while carrying the heavy candies.

"Where are you? I haven't bought the most important thing yet."

"what?"

"follow me."

Li Enhui was puzzled by Wang Muzhi's mysterious appearance, and when he came to a store specializing in wedding clothes, he realized that he was buying wedding clothes.

When you step into the store, you will see all kinds of Chinese wedding attires. The color is mainly red. After entering, it feels like you have entered a sea of ​​red.

Dragon and Phoenix gowns, cheongsams, Xiuhe clothes, phoenix crowns, Xiapei and Hanfu are all available.

"Muzhi, we have already bought several sets of new clothes, so don't buy any more."

"Don't you like it?"

Faced with Wang Muzhi's rhetorical question, Li Enhui said nothing.

Women don't have much resistance when faced with these clothes, and Li Eun Hye is no exception.

If you say you don't like it, you're definitely lying to yourself.

"Let's go. I've already made a reservation there. It's through Sister Qin's relationship. The deposit has already been paid."

After hearing what Wang Muzhi said, Li Enhui no longer objected. As the two of them stepped into the room, not only Li Enhui, but also Wang Muzhi had never taken his eyes off these clothes.

So beautiful.

Wang Muzhi's eyes were very sharp. He could tell that this store was absolutely handmade. Every piece of clothing on it was sewn by hand. The top pieces could almost be called antiques.

Who would have thought that such pure and simple Chinese wedding attire can be seen here.

No wonder Sister Qin kept recommending it to me. It seemed that I really came to the right place this time.

Even if these clothes are not worn in the future, they can be kept as collectibles.

This shop is in the corner of the shopping mall, so it is not easy to be found. There are other shops piled up at the entrance, making the place look a bit desolate.

It can be seen that the boss's business is not very good, and there are only a few people wandering around the store, and it seems that they have no intention of buying.

Since the reform and opening up, a large number of foreign things have impacted the country, and some customs have also been brought in. They have been known and accepted by the public, and have even been widely publicized and promoted. Western-style weddings are one of them.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the form and content of weddings had obviously accepted Western customs, and generally adopted the method of merging Chinese and Western styles.

For ordinary families, the scale and complexity of Chinese weddings are obviously not something they can afford, while Western weddings are novel and simple, so they are accepted. The bride usually wears a cheongsam or a long skirt, and the groom wears a suit or casual clothes.

Wang Muzhi wanted to give Li Enhui a formal Chinese wedding. Even if other aspects failed to meet the requirements, the costumes must be in place.

Only a Chinese-style wedding would be perfect for Wang Muzhi.

"Comrades, what do you need?"

While Wang Muzhi and the two were watching, a middle-aged woman came up and asked with a smile.

Wang Muzhi explained the purpose of his visit, and after the woman inquired about it, she went to the back to get the clothes, leaving the two of them to continue to admire the clothes and sigh with each other from time to time.

At this time, the chat between the two people next to him caught Wang Muzhi's attention.
