Chapter 14 The First Bucket of Gold (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

There was not much to talk about Wang Yuanchao's affairs. Wang Heping was a quick talker and finished speaking in no time.

Because he is anxious about his own affairs.

Father Wang Quan thought about it and said:
"Would you like to ask a teacher to help you consolidate your knowledge over the next two days? I'm worried that you and Heping have been playing around and have almost forgotten all those things."

Wang Heping snorted twice and dared not say anything. After all, it was his own business and he knew it himself.

The eldest brother interrupted:
“I think so.

Although the art troupe only requires a junior high school education, I've asked my colleagues and found out that the talent requirements are not low.

It is not as difficult to join the Railway Art Troupe as the Military Art Troupe, and therefore, there are more people competing.

There is definitely no harm in being prepared.”

After hearing this, I realized that the eldest brother was many times more reliable than the second brother. Today at work, he even went to help gather information.

My father did not ask Wang Yuanchao for his opinion and immediately decided to make up for it. It is very difficult for a junior high school student to find a good job.

But he also knew that Wang Yuanchao's school's music teacher, Mr. Cao, had an exam today, Monday, and it was just the right time to visit Mr. Cao's home right now without further delay.

He stood up and went to the room to get the gift. There were still a few bottles of good wine at home, including Fenjiu, Xifeng, and Moutai.

With two bottles of good wine and some industrial coupons, there was no way Mr. Cao would refuse the help.

Wang Heping suddenly became anxious, wondering when he would come back.

But he didn't dare to interrupt. Although he used to be a gangster, he had a bloody experience of being taught a lesson by his father. Otherwise, how could the father and son be so loving and filial?

I could only look at the third brother and try to ask for help with my eyes: Third brother, you've got it, you should understand!

The second brother’s eyes were about to pop out, and Wang Yuanchao could naturally see it clearly. He immediately followed his father into the house.

As expected, the father stopped what he was doing, and was surprised at how brave the third child was to follow him into the room.

Little did they know that the third brother had already figured out their treasure cave, but he just didn't dare to take action.

Isn't the lesson of the second brother a lesson? Killing the monkey to scare the chicken will only have a better effect.

Facing his father's puzzled look, Wang Yuanchao quickly said:

"Dad, you drank a little tonight, it's not appropriate to visit Teacher Cao's house. This would seem disrespectful to the teacher.

I have already gone to see Teacher Cao today, so I will go directly to see Teacher Cao tomorrow.

Just give me the wine and the money."

Wang Quan was stunned. The third child has made great progress. He knows how to go to the street office to inquire about jobs and also knows how to find a teacher for tutoring.

His expression softened immediately and he said:

"How are you going to spend this money?"

Wang Yuanchaodao;

“Buy some books.

I returned all my old books and musical instruments to the school after graduation. Otherwise, I wouldn't be looking at my brother's medical books to get a feel for it today.

When the time comes, I’ll see what Teacher Cao’s family needs and then choose a suitable one.

I plan to borrow the instrument from Teacher Cao first."

Wang Quan nodded and was about to go to the main hall:
"Okay, I'll talk to your mom tonight, and you can handle it yourself."

Wang Yuanchao decided to be a good person to the end:

"But my second brother might want to talk to you about something."

Wang Quan stopped and wanted to hear what his third son had to say, but he heard his youngest son say:

"I made an appointment with a friend to pick up a book. I'm going out to get the book first, otherwise it will be too late and people will go to bed."

After Wang Yuanchao finished speaking, he walked out of the room first, winked at his second brother in the main room, went back to his room, put on his Jiefang bag, and left the house. He ran into his mother who had just finished washing the pots and dishes, and said:

"I went to my friend's house to get a book and told my dad about it!"

Then he took the bicycle away.

Miao Cui had no choice but to shout:

"Be careful when riding at night!"

……

After leaving Nanluoguxiang, we walked south along Dong'anmen North Street (now Beiyanhe Street) for 3.5 kilometers at lightning speed and soon arrived at Fandi Road (now Qianmen East Street).

Although the street lights along the way were dim, they worked very well for Wang Yuanchao.

Even though some sections of the road were dark, the moonlight in the sky was still relatively bright and sufficient.

He quickly found the distinctively-signed Ruifengxiang Silk and Cloth Store. Across from the Juqingzhai Pastry Shop was his target, the Xiangyi Silk and Cloth Store.

There is a pastry shop between two silk shops, very easy to spot.

With a brake sound, Wang Yuanchao jumped off the bicycle, moved it against the wall to a good position, propped up the footrest, locked the bike with a "click", and pulled out the key, all in one smooth move.

Boss Chen Xueru was already standing at the door waiting for him.

"Everyone's off work, so I'm the only one here. Would you like some black tea or green tea?"

I felt very cool when I was riding a bike, but as soon as I stopped, my body started to feel hot.

Wang Yuanchao wiped his face and neck with the towel around his neck and said:
"Boiled water is best. Boss Chen, do you have running water here? Let me wash my hands and face first."

Chen Xueru felt that this attitude was okay. Otherwise, the sweat stains would probably stain such a luxury item as stockings.

So he led him to the backyard of the shop. Wang Yuanchao simply washed it and felt cool in the evening breeze.

He dried his hands carefully, then followed Chen Xueru back to the store, drank a glass of boiled water, and said refreshed:

"Are you just checking out the goods here?"

Chen Xueru said:

"Come upstairs!"

Wang Yuanchao pointed at the open door with his eyes, meaning: Aren’t you afraid of being targeted by thieves?

Chen Xueru smiled, meaning: I'm not afraid of my shop, so why should you be afraid?
The two of them went straight up to the third floor.

The containers on the first floor were filled with blue, white, blue and gray cloths. Wang Yuanchao took a look at the second floor, which was filled with mid- to high-end cloths. As for the third floor, luxury items such as silk and furs were sold.

Chen Xueru handed over a pair of white velvet gloves, and then she put them on herself.

Wow, Wang Yuanchao thought it was enough to just bring a towel to wash and wipe his hands, but he even prepared a pair of white gloves. Really, really, he is worthy of being a business expert.

He reached into his Jiefang bag and took out three silk rolls one after another and placed them on the velvet table in front of him. Then he put on white gloves and began to unroll the silk handkerchief rolls one by one.

As soon as the silk handkerchief was opened, the stockings inside slipped into Chen Xueru's eyes and could not be pulled out.

It’s as thin as a cicada’s wing, and I’m not exaggerating.

Chen Xueru swore that she had never seen such high quality stockings!
A pile of meat shreds, a pile of meat shreds, a pile of black, white and gray shreds?
The color no longer surprised her. She carefully took a pair of stockings, shook them open, and found that they were not the usual stockings, but the shape of entire pants!
The stitches are almost invisible at the joints, what a magical craftsmanship!
This has far exceeded her psychological expectations!

The velvet gloves and stockings are extremely smooth.

She looked towards the light, then towards it, and couldn't help saying:

"Yuan Chao, can I touch it with my own hands? Don't worry, as long as the quality is good, I will take it all!"

What she said now was the truth. She was absolutely confident that she could make this quality product the treasure of the store!
What else can Wang Yuanchao say? Could it be that these stockings suit your white legs better?

He immediately made a gesture of invitation.

Chen Xueru took off her gloves, stretched out her slender hands, and carefully stroked the stockings as if she was stroking her lover's cheek, and then she pinched and rubbed them carefully. The feeling was amazing.

Put the stockings on the back of your hand, and you can seem to feel the breathing of the skin on the back of your hand.

Seeing that Chen Xueru was so satisfied with the product, Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but silently thank Sister Zhang in his heart. The stockings she selected were of high quality and not cheap, shoddy goods.

It seems that Sister Zhang’s “Gentle Night” is indeed pursuing the quality route, and he might not have been the target customer at the beginning.

Chen Xueru checked all 20 pairs of pantyhose one by one. Regardless of the color, the quality and feel were excellent.

When she was inspecting the goods, Wang Yuanchao had to stare at her carefully. After all, the goods were "precious" and it would be inappropriate for Wang Yuanchao not to be nervous.

But seeing a woman stroking and touching her stockings, and a mature, beautiful and charming woman, made Wang Yuanchao's Adam's apple move again and again. In the end, he was already emptying himself, and he would explode if he continued watching.

His soul could still bear it, but his young and fiery body couldn't take it.

Then he slowly sat down on the stool next to him.

Chen Xueru finally finished inspecting the goods. She folded the stockings again with a look of joy on her face.

Good things are not afraid of being expensive.

"Yuan Chao, wait for me, I'll go get the money."

Wang Yuanchao was not afraid that Chen Xueru would do anything inappropriate.

First of all, her expression was always normal. She was obsessed with the stockings and very happy. Although she occasionally looked a little painful, they were fleeting.

Secondly, he could take these things directly into the space as long as he thought about it, and no one could take them away.

So, what is there to fear?

Soon, Chen Xueru took a stack of banknotes from the side, all of which were large black ten-cent notes! And four stacks of coupons!
"You click!"

Wang Yuanchao pretended to be anxious to take the money. He didn't even care that his fingers touched the other party and started counting the bills one by one.

In the United States, a pair of shoes costs only 2 dollars, which is equivalent to 20 old rubles. According to the exchange rate, it is only 3.334 yuan! It is not expensive at all. But what is the productivity of the United States?

If it is shipped to the Friendship Store and can only be purchased with foreign currency, the price will not be the price of the United States.

Moreover, foreign exchange is controlled and not available to ordinary people. The brothers in the north will add a little price to you (because they need to exchange foreign exchange to pay off their debts in the north). Basically, a pair of shoes will cost you about 25 yuan.

It’s just that in recent years, Friendship Store has not specially stocked this stuff, so you can’t buy it even if you have money.

This is also the reason why Chen Xueru agreed when she heard the price doubled.

Looking at the material and workmanship again, this process is more complicated than the original two tubes. It is totally worth doubling the price!
Qian Yuanchao counted twice and happily got 1000 yuan in cash.

There were not so many industrial coupons, and some were exchanged for meat coupons, grain coupons, and national grain coupons.

It can be seen that it was not easy for Boss Chen to get the money together.

After the payment and goods were settled, Wang Yuanchao did not forget to ask:
"Boss Chen, do you have any books on music?"

Chen Xueru was carefully putting away her stockings. After hearing this, she thought for a moment and said:
"We have quite a few People's Music magazines at home. Does that count?"

"It's ok to bring music, but can you lend me a few books?"

"This is nothing, I'll give it to you. Jinyou, go home and help bring aid to North Korea!"

At this time, a man about 30 years old walked out from the inner room. Although he was not very handsome, he looked quite energetic.

Chen Xueru smiled and said:
"My husband has been waiting for you to come over with me! He works in the community and usually doesn't interfere with my business."

[The price of nylon socks is 2.5 yuan, which is usually 2.4 industrial coupons, and the highest price is 5.2 industrial coupons. A piece of fur clothing costs 30 industrial coupons, and the highest price is 180. Defined as a luxury item, ask for more of this price. As for how much an industrial coupon costs, I can't find any information. Some say 1 yuan, some say 10 yuan. The difference is too big, so let's downplay it so it doesn't affect the plot.]
