Gu Siwei stood on the roadside, slightly raising his head and looking at the building in front of him.

The three-story building looks straight up and down, and there is no design at all. It just looks like the Maozi style in old movies, rough, silly and chunky.

In the middle of the roof is a red five-pointed star, with five red flags on both sides of the star.

For Gu Siwei, this building really has a sense of age.

It's just that what he saw was realistic and not like some of the red scenic spots that would be restored decades later.

"Brother Siwei, come in. What are you looking at outside? There is a store inside."

Seeing Gu Siwei standing with his head up in a daze outside, Liu Dezhu didn't understand. He came over specially to imitate Gu Siwei and stretched his neck to take a look. He thought he didn't see anything, just a house and a blue sky.

Gu Siwei came back to his senses and smiled at Liu Dezhu: "It's nothing, I just think the five stars on the top are pretty good-looking."

"It's a very exciting party! I think so too." Liu Dezhu was a little happy.

Gu Siwei nodded and walked into the room.

The store was very big, unexpectedly big. He was quite disappointed with the small stores in the town. From now on, this thing can be regarded as a medium-sized community supermarket at most. Of course, it is still a bit far away from a supermarket. Across the counter,

If the salesperson doesn't give it to you, you won't be able to see anything.

But the store here is really not small, and the entrance area is also large. The counters alone are divided into several groups, and the business area on the first floor alone is almost a thousand square meters.

The store has a wide range of items, ranging from food to hardware.

There are also a lot of salespeople. Just when I walked in, I saw four or five of them. They were all women, ranging in age from forty to twenty-something.

There were also quite a few customers, and at a glance there were two or three people picking out products at every counter, but most of them were middle-aged women, and it was rare to see gentlemen, who all went to work at about this time.

"What would you like?"

As soon as he stood in front of the counter, Gu Siwei heard a crisp sound reaching his ears.

He looked up and saw a young girl standing in front of him across the counter.

The girl was very good-looking, and there were no artificial beauties at this time. Women at this time looked exactly what they looked like, and there were very few heavy-dressed ones, and generally there were only two or three kinds of cosmetics.

It's truly a natural product that removes the carvings and makes hibiscus emerge from clear water.

The girl does not have an oval face, but a round face. Although she has a round face, her big eyes are bright and lively. She smiles before anyone speaks, her eyebrows are as curved as willows, her nose is normal, and her mouth is standard.

The mold peach mouth, a little bit, completely healthy rosy color.

"I want to take a look casually." Gu Siwei smiled.

He just walked in and hasn't looked at anything yet, so he doesn't know what to buy.

At this time, Liu Dezhu rushed to Gu Siwei's side. When he heard the salesperson asking what he wanted, he immediately said with a naive smile: "Comrade salesperson, my brother Siwei wants to buy a pot and a knife...".

Poof!

The salesperson covered his mouth and became happy after hearing this.

After having fun, he reached out and pointed inside: "Hardware, electrical appliances, household kitchen knives and so on are over there. We sell food here."

Gu Siwei smiled and walked in the direction of the girl's finger.

Seeing Gu Siwei leaving, Liu Dezhu smiled silly at the salesperson and followed Gu Siwei.

"Brother Siwei, the salesperson is so good-looking!"

Gu Siwei instantly had a black line on his forehead because the idiot Liu Dezhu spoke too loudly. The two of them were not even ten meters away from the salesperson's counter. It would be weird if they couldn't hear him.

Sure enough, there was a burst of laughter from behind.

Gu Siwei turned around and saw that the salesperson and her colleagues were laughing together.

"I'm sorry, my brother is more upright, but he is telling the truth. You are indeed beautiful." Gu Siwei had no choice but to bite the bullet and smooth things over for Liu Dezhu.

Liu Dezhu also said to himself: "You are beautiful. Among women, you are the most beautiful I have ever seen. Among men, Brother Siwei is the most beautiful."

"#——!"

Now Gu Siwei really didn't know what to say, he could only look at Liu Dezhu who was standing next to him with a silly smile, and wished he could sew this kid's mouth shut.

"How about introducing our Xiao Hu to your Siwei brother? Our Xiao Hu doesn't have a partner yet."

The salesperson next to him, who was in his thirties, started to boo.

"Okay!" Liu Dezhu nodded immediately.

"Young man, which factory do you work for?" the thirty-year-old salesman who spoke asked Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "I'm not from the factory here, I'm from Shimo Village, the same village as him, a real farmer."

As soon as they heard that Gu Siwei claimed to be a farmer, the smiling salesmen over there suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Siwei was fine. He didn't think there was anything wrong with farmers. By the time he came, there was not much difference between farmers and workers. Many city people wanted to live the life of farmers, but they couldn't get it.

You must know that when Gu Siwei came back, the rural household registration was valuable, while the urban household registration had dropped in value.

Therefore, when Gu Siwei calls himself a farmer, he does not have the same feeling of inferiority that many farmers in this era have when they say they are farmers.

This is the actual situation. No matter how you whitewash it, farmers in this era are really not as strong as workers, nor do they have a high social status.

Gu Siwei didn't have to guess at the reaction of these salesmen. Seeing that they were embarrassed, he smiled at them, then turned around and walked towards the place where the hardware was sold.

The place that sells hardware is no different from the place that sells candy. There is a display cabinet next to the pond, and between the salesperson and the customer is a long cabinet, which contains items for sale.

Because there are very few varieties, the items in the cabinet are a bit empty, but there are all the commonly used pots, pans, and other items.

There are not as many products as there were in later generations, but there are all the things that should be there, but the prices of some things are really scary.

"How much does that pot cost?"

The salesperson at the counter here was knitting a sweater. When he saw Gu Siwei and the two coming over, he just raised his eyelids and then continued to knit the sweater intently.

"Eighteen dollars!"

The salesperson looked up and saw the pot pointed by Gu Siwei and quoted the price.

"So high, made of 304 stainless steel?" Gu Siwei asked.

The salesperson was stunned by this question and replied to Gu Siwei: "What is 304 stainless steel? This is a fine steel pot."

"Steel pot?"

This statement stunned Gu Siwei again. He had never heard of such a thing as steel spirit in this world.

"What is steel?"

"Steel essence is steel essence. Do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, don't ask."

The salesperson didn't know what a steel pot was, but everyone called it that. In her mind, it was called a steel pot.

"Can I take a look?" Gu Siwei was quite curious.

The salesperson muttered something, but he didn't know what he was talking about. Anyway, Gu Siwei didn't understand it at all.

Although he complained, the salesperson still brought the shiny and reflective pot from the shelf to Gu Siwei and placed it on the counter.

He put down the pot and said, "Don't break it. If you break it, you'll have to pay for it."

Picking up the pot and looking at it, Gu Siwei couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was originally engaged in mechanical processing, and he knew what material this thing was made of as soon as he got started.

Aluminum!

What about steel essence? Isn’t this nonsense?

Gu Siwei didn't know that at this time, many places called this kind of aluminum pot a steel pot.

"Thank you, are there any iron pots here?"

Knowing that it was an aluminum pot, where could Gu Siwei buy it? It was an aluminum product, and no matter how good it was for cooking, it would not be as good as an iron pot. After a few decades, everyone would be more health-conscious, so who would still use aluminum products?

"Yes, how big do you want it to be?"

The salesperson had just sat down and rolled his eyes at Gu Siwei when he heard this. Although his attitude was not good, he still stood up and put the aluminum pot back to its original position. Finally, he reached out and pointed at the pot on the top of the pond cabinet.

.

The ones placed above are all iron pots, the old-fashioned double-eared iron pots. These are all cast. The price is much cheaper than the aluminum pot just now, which is a steel pot. It is a cast iron that is twice as big as the aluminum pot.

The pot is only half the price of an aluminum pot.

"Give me the biggest cast iron pan you can get."

Gu Siwei simply asked for the largest size.

In fact, the diameter of the largest pot is only about 70 centimeters, which is still far from the big iron pot in rural areas that Gu Siwei had in mind.

But this is a factory, and they are usually sold to working-class families. Such large pots are rarely used, and they are usually normal pots, about thirty centimeters.

"Are you sure you want to?"

The salesperson was a little confused after hearing this, if not for any other reason than that this pot has been here for several years. Today is the first time someone has asked about it, and it is the first time anyone has asked for it.

"Well, I want this." Gu Siwei nodded.

The salesperson brought the pot up and placed it in front of Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei took the pot and looked at it with both ears.
