Chapter 686 Willow Lane

"There are only exhausted cows and no damaged land. The ancients never deceived me." Jiang Xiaobai muttered.

Zhao Xinyi gave Jiang Xiaobai a wink and asked you to bully me.

After breakfast, Jiang Xiaobai did not go to work, but walked around the street with Zhao Xinyi.

We went directly to Jiang Xiaobai Clothing Store in Longcheng.

Longcheng’s Jiang Xiaobai clothing store is located in Liuxiang, Yingze District.

This Liuxiang was later the most prosperous commercial area in Longcheng City.

The prosperity of Liuxiang began during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Erqing Shopping Mall, Women's and Children's Commercial Building, etc. were all located in Liuxiang. Longcheng people also liked to come here to shop.

Jiang Xiaobai remembered that his predecessor loved to walk on this street when he was young.

The legend of Liuxiang is related to Chang Yuchun of the Ming Dynasty. Liuxiang was originally an ordinary small alley.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition broke through the Yuan Dynasty. After arriving at Longcheng, Longcheng relied on the tall walls of Longcheng to resist. Chang Yuchun went into the city to investigate. However, Chang Yuchun was discovered when he entered the city. A bloody battle broke out. Chang Yuchun

I ran into a small yard in a dilapidated alley.

An old woman named Liu lived in the courtyard and saved Chang Yuchun.

He had to repay the life-saving grace, so when he left, he picked off a willow branch and gave it to Mrs. Liu, saying: "There is a war. If you put this willow branch on the door, you can avoid the disaster."

Later, the Ming army indeed invaded Taiyuan. Seeing the fighting, Mrs. Liu immediately told her neighbors to take willow branches and insert them at the front of their doors.

The soldiers of the Ming army who invaded the city, according to General Chang's order, saw the courtyard with willow branches on the door, so they took extra care to protect it, and Qiu did not do anything wrong.

After the war, in order to thank the Liu family and commemorate the liberation of Taiyuan, the neighbors planted the willow branches at the front of the door on the street in front of the door.

These willow branches will take root, sprout, sprout, and sprout green. The willow branches inserted into the streets and alleys. As time goes by, this inconspicuous alley is shaded by green willows, with smokey branches, cool and comfortable. It becomes known as "Willow Alley"

"

Since 1978, the time-honored brands on the street have resumed business one by one.

However, after 1984, there were more and more self-employed people on the streets of Liuxiang.

And Jiang Xiaobai’s clothing flagship store is now the leader on Liuxiang Street.

Jiang Xiaobai and Zhao Xinyi felt this atmosphere as soon as they stepped into Liuxiang.

Before 9 o'clock, there was already a long queue at the entrance of Jiang Xiaobai's clothing flagship store. There were sun umbrellas and a row of seats at the entrance.

But it was empty at this time, and there were no pregnant women or children sitting there.

"Let's go, line up and go in and take a look." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

Zhao Xinyi nodded, as long as Jiang Xiaobai was with her, she didn't care where she went.

After a while, she entered the store. Such a beautiful girl as Zhao Xinyi naturally made the waiter look at her twice.

Then he saw Jiang Xiaobai next to Zhao Xinyi. Although he tried his best to hide it, his eyes still showed an expression like flowers stuck in cow dung.

Jiang Xiaobai wanted to kill him and fired him.

The two of them walked around the store, and Jiang Xiaobai and Zhao Xinyi each bought a white T-shirt.

Jiang Xiaobai did not reveal his identity, and then walked out of the store with Zhao Xinyi.

Overall, it's pretty good. The attitude of the waiters towards customers is not as good as the God-like feeling of later generations.

But it can be regarded as meeting Jiang Xiaobai’s requirements.

At this time, the reform and opening up had just begun, the concept of money supremacy had just been formed, and the mentality that the people were the masters of the country had not yet been let go.

Just like in some state-owned factories, when the workers don't want to talk to your factory director, they will even point their noses and scold you.

You still can't fire them because they haven't made enough mistakes to be fired.

Factories are owned by the people.

But in a private enterprise, the boss alone is in charge of the business. He can do what he wants to do, and get out if he doesn't.

These are two concepts.

The store also has a relatively complete range of clothes. Jiang Xiaobai observed that although customers came for sportswear, they were also attracted by other clothing after arriving at the store.

Usually they buy one or two pieces, and some people even discuss buying sportswear outside the store.

But after entering the store, I was attracted by other clothes, and ended up spending all my money. When I left the clothing store, I realized that I hadn't bought the sportswear I wanted to buy.

This is the charm of Jiang Xiaobai's clothing.

After coming out of the clothing store, he encountered two more places selling cans on the road. Jiang Xiaobai took one look and knew what they were.

Jiang Xiaobai stayed in Longcheng for three days before leaving.

And on the day Jiang Xiaobai left the same city, Duan Zhixiang, who had been traveling all the way, also arrived in Zhangxuan County?

I got on the bus to Jianhua Village.

After leaving the county town and looking at the wide cement road, Duan Zhixiang asked curiously.

"Sister, why are the roads here so wide?"

"That one was built in Jianhua Village. It cost a lot of money." The ticket sales lady was still very talkative.

Because Duan Zhixiang’s accent sounds like he’s not a local, and looking at Duan Zhixiang’s clothes, you can tell he’s from a big place.

Moreover, Duan Zhixiang looks like a handsome old guy, and the ticket sales lady is willing to chat with him.

"Are you going to that Jianhua Village? If you go to that Jianhua Village, you don't actually need to take this car. There is a truck pull-up station in Jianhua Village in the county. You can go directly to Jianhua Village. You can also save a dollar.

Where’s the money?”

The ticket sales lady said.

"Really, there is such a good thing. Sister, can you tell me about Jianhua Village? I am a reporter."

Duan Zhixiang took out his ID from his bag and showed it to the ticket sales lady to prove that he was not a spy.

"Hey, reporter, you're so awesome, you're from the capital," the ticket sales lady's attitude became even better.

"Actually, I don't know anything. It's all hearsay, and other people know it too."

"It's okay, just tell me what you know." Duan Zhixiang said with a smile.

"Okay, this Jianhua Village turns out to be a famously poor place in our county. There is not enough food every year, so we have to get food relief from the county to survive..."

By the time Duan Zhixiang got off the bus in Shangmaxiang, he had a general understanding of Jianhua Village.

The first township and village enterprise, the first village to provide households with output guarantees, and the first village to become wealthy.

There are not only canneries, but also pig farms and feed mills.

When I got on the truck going back to Jianhua Village in the countryside, I originally thought that the driver would know more and be able to get more useful information.

But I didn't expect that the driver didn't say a word after getting in the car.

He didn't say much about anything in Jianhua Village, and just asked him to talk to the factory leader if he had anything to do.
