He had opened two big treasure chests in a row and gained a lot.
Xu Damao felt very refreshed.
He had long forgotten about the unpleasant incident in the middle court.
At noon.
After dinner.
Xu Damao greeted his wife Lou Xiao'e and walked out.
He quickly left the courtyard.
He was not going out for a walk.
Instead, he went to the department store.
In the 1960s, there was a shortage of resources, and the country implemented a planned economy.
In other words, there was no private sector, all public.
Buying and selling anything depended on money and tickets.
There were all kinds of tickets.
In this era, it was difficult to move without a ticket.
Money alone wouldn't do.
Of course, there were policies and countermeasures.
The market was not a single one. There was a black market.
They could use money to buy and sell items, but the price of items in the black market was extremely high, often several times higher than the normal price.
The place that sold goods outside was called the " supply and marketing cooperative."
There were supply and marketing co-ops of all sizes everywhere.
However, not everything was sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. The general supply and marketing cooperative only sold daily necessities.
If he wanted to buy something big or valuable, he would have to go to a department store.
The department stores of this era were the supermarkets of supermarkets, comparable to the big shopping malls of the future.
There was everything inside.
The things that could not be bought here could not be bought outside either.
Except for some special supplies.
Xu Damao did not come to the department store for other things, but for one thing.
That was a bicycle!
He wanted to buy a bicycle.
A bicycle was a symbol of family wealth and the standard for a "successful person"!
Of course, he didn't want to show off.
This was necessary.
Although owning a bicycle was very glorious, it was not too rare for many people to have such a thing.
They could be seen everywhere on the street outside.
It was just that no one in their courtyard had bought it yet.
Soon, Xu Damao arrived at a large department store located at the West Gate.
This was the biggest shop nearby.
There were bicycles for sale inside.
Xu Damao walked into the store and found the bicycle sales area.
In the 1960s, bicycles were very popular, so they were produced in large quantities.
Various brands of bicycles also appeared like bamboo shoots after the rain.
However, the famous ones were Phoenix, Flying Pigeon, Yongjiu, and Erba.
The others were not very famous.
Of course, he had to buy a branded one. Only then would he have face and drive it in style!
This department store sold branded bicycles, but only one was the Phoenix brand.
"Comrade, do you want to buy a bicycle?”
When Xu Damao was looking at the car, a salesperson walked over and asked.
It was a well-dressed little girl wearing a hat.
She had an oval face and a cherry mouth. She looked very delicate.
"Yes, I'm going to buy this bike.”Xu Damao nodded.
"Is there a difference in the configuration of this bicycle?”
he asked.
The saleswoman shook her head." No, they're all standard equipment. They're all equipped."”
"This Phoenix bicycle is priced at 180 yuan and requires a designated purchase ticket.”she added.
When he said this, a strange look flashed in his eyes. It was as if he was telling Xu Damao that this car was very expensive and required a specific ticket. Ordinary people could not afford it.
"I think it's fine. Give me two!”
Xu Damao said without hesitation.
"What? Comrade, do you want to buy two?"
The saleswoman thought she had misheard.
Not only did he want to buy them, but he also wanted to buy two of them.
She had never seen such a " bold " buyer.
Xu Damao nodded solemnly." Yes, two cars. Give me the receipt and go through the formalities. We'll take them away together later."”
Of course, he had to buy two cars.
One for him and one for his wife, Lou Xiao'e.
He had just gotten two bus tickets and a lot of cash from opening the treasure chest. It was enough to buy two cars.
To him, who had the Magical Treasure Chest System, this was nothing. It was just a drop in the bucket!
With that, Xu Damao took out the tickets and cash that he had prepared from his pocket.
The salesperson was stunned on the spot.
She thought it was just a joke, but who knew it was true.
She was speechless when she saw the genuine tickets and cash.
"This person is really rich. He must be an official or someone in his family is an official.”She pondered in her heart.
Nowadays, only the officials were so generous. How could ordinary workers be so rich?
Let's not talk about the hundreds of yuan.
These two tickets were very difficult to obtain.
"Okay, okay, please wait a moment!”
The salesperson's attitude immediately changed. She hurriedly went through the procedures for Xu Damao to buy a car.
The procedures took quite some time.
After all, the relevant department staff had to give it a stamp.
This steel stamp was similar to the license plate on a car in the future. Without a license plate, the car you bought would not be able to drive at all.
In this era, bicycles were the same. A bicycle without a stamp could not be used on the road. It would be very troublesome if it was caught.
If he was convicted of throwing a machine, he would be finished!
It took him two to three hours to finish it.
After everything was settled, Xu Damao got on a bicycle. He controlled the bicycle with one hand and the other with the other hand, and drove towards the courtyard house.
They were really eye-catching along the way.
It was not strange to ride a bicycle.
However, it was very rare to catch one after another.
Many people had never seen such a " spectacular " scene.
If the rate of people turning their heads wasn't 100%, then it was at least 90%!
"What a beautiful car!"
"This person is very handsome!"
"It's obvious that his family is rich and official!”
……
Many people exclaimed in admiration.
"Yo, isn't that the projectionist Xu Damao! Why was Xu Damao riding two bicycles?”
When they approached the courtyard house, some people recognized Xu Damao.
They were all very surprised.
Some of them even greeted Xu Damao warmly, looking at him with praise and envy.
When someone greeted him, Xu Damao did not lose his manners and responded to them one by one.
He only got out of the car when he reached the gate of the courtyard house. He pushed a cart with one hand and walked on foot.
It would be difficult for an ordinary person to steadily hold onto two bicycles and move forward, but he was no longer an ordinary person. He had already comprehended Jeet Kune Do and his skills had increased greatly. This was not difficult for him.
When Xu Damao pushed two brand-new bicycles into the courtyard, it caused a wave of exclamations.
"Aiyo, isn't this Xu Damao from our quad? Am I seeing things?"
Yan Bugui, who was watering the flowers at the door of his house, was the first to see this scene.
He was extremely surprised.
He immediately ran over.
"Third Uncle, of course you didn't see wrongly. If this isn't me, Xu Damao, who is it?”Xu Damao said with a smile.
"Xu Damao, you bought two new bicycles?!”Third Uncle asked with his eyes wide open.
Xu Damao nodded vigorously." Yes, two bicycles. One is mine, and the other is my wife's!" How is it, Third Master? Is my car okay?”
"It's passable, of course it's passable!”Third Uncle nodded repeatedly and said," This is a Phoenix brand bicycle, one of the three famous brands. There's nothing better than this!”
"Look at this new paint, this carved golden phoenix symbol, it's too beautiful!”
He clicked his tongue in praise.
While he was praising her, Third Aunt, Yan Jiecheng and his wife, as well as other people in the front yard, gathered around to watch the show.
"Xu Damao, you're really capable. You bought two new bicycles at once!”Third Uncle couldn't help but ask," How much is this bicycle?”
"180," Xu Damao answered truthfully.”
"180?" Third Aunt said in surprise," Those two bicycles cost 360 yuan!”
"Yes, 360 yuan each!”Xu Damao nodded.
"Look, look. In terms of generosity, it all depends on Xu Damao. He's really willing to spend money. 360 yuan is a year's salary for ordinary workers in our courtyard. With this, he's spent a year's salary. Let me ask you, who is as generous as him? Who is more willing to spend money than him?”Third Uncle said with a smile.
"No one is so willing!" Third Aunt shook her head and said," Xu Damao is the first to buy a bicycle in this yard. Our family has been looking at the Yongjiu brand bicycle for a long time. That bicycle is only a little over 130 yuan, which is 30 yuan cheaper than the Phoenix brand bicycle that Xu Damao bought!”
"Xu Damao, you're really willing!"
"Xu Damao, I really couldn't tell that you're so generous and good to your wife. Not only did you buy it for yourself, but you even specially bought one for your wife!”
"Xu Damao has been capable since he was young. He's smart. Being a projectionist was a lucrative job that others could not even dream of!”
"Silly Zhu and First Uncle's salary isn't low either, but they're lagging behind. Xu Damao still knows how to live!”
……
Everyone chimed in and praised Xu Damao.
Earlier, they had all followed the crowd and complained that he was stingy and ruthless.
In the blink of an eye, all of that was thrown to the back of his mind.
His attitude had taken a 180-degree turn!
"Xu Damao, you bought such a good car. Shouldn't you treat us all to a meal? Even giving birth isn't as good as you. You have to treat us!”Third Uncle said.
He was a meticulous ghost and loved to calculate carefully. freeloading was his forte.
However, Xu Damao did not care. He nodded without hesitation and said,""Sure. Come to my house later and I'll treat you to something!”
"Okay, okay, okay. We're very happy to hear that. I'll definitely go to your house later and have a good drink with you.”Third Uncle said happily.
"Sure. Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Uncles and Aunties, I'll go back first.”Xu Damao called out.
With that, he pushed his bicycle forward.
Third Uncle and the others were still praising him, their faces full of envy.
