Yang Weimin packed about two or three taels of tea leaves in a paper bag and went to work in the factory.
When they arrived at the workshop, Yang Weimin saw that Chen Aijun's office door was open. He knocked on the door and walked in, closing the door casually.
"Morning, Brother Jun."
Chen Aijun was surprised to see Yang Weimin come in." Why are you so early today? You usually come to work by the bell."”
"No, I arrived before the bell rang.”
"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you about this. Tell me, what's the matter? Wait, I still have to prepare for the morning meeting!”
Yang Weimin took out the tea leaves he had prepared and placed them on the table.
"Brother Jun, a friend of mine brought these tea leaves from overseas.”
Chen Aijun's eyes lit up when he heard the word " tea "." What tea?”
"Biluochun."
"Is this tea from the right source? Let me tell you, don't do anything stupid. A little tea is not worth it.”
"Tsk, Brother Jun, don't you know what kind of person I am? Am I that kind of person?"
Chen Aijun nodded deliberately." I see that you're not serious usually.”
"It hurts my heart. I'll drink the tea myself.”
"Wait a minute." Chen Aijun pressed down on the tea leaves." Since you are so sincere, I'll accept it. This won't happen again!"”
"Alright." Yang Weimin smiled and said," Well, Brother Jun, I have one more thing.”
"Tell me. I know you must have something on your mind. You can't break the rules.”
"That won't happen. Didn't the factory reward me with a bicycle ticket? I want to buy a car in the afternoon and get the license plate.”
"Alright, then you can leave after lunch break. I'll rearrange the mission. I'll watch over your team.”
"Okay, thank you, Brother Jun! I'll bring some more tea leaves after we finish them.”
"Save it. Don't spend money recklessly."
"Got it."
After taking his leave, Yang Weimin returned to his work station.
Yang Weimin was the team leader, and each team had about ten people. There were no deputy team leaders.
As soon as the bell rang for lunch break, Yang Weimin told Er Gang and Zhao Bing and set off without even having lunch. He couldn't wait to see the new car.
Nowadays, people usually went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, especially in towns. The supply and marketing cooperative could be considered the center of the town.
The supply and marketing cooperative had everything from agricultural machinery and electrical appliances to needles, threads, and buttons.
Bikes and sewing machines were big items for wedding, and they were sold in the supply and marketing cooperative.
As for the tea leaves that Yang Weimin gave Chen Aijun, they had to go to the grocery store to buy them.
Candies, canned food, milk products, soy products, tobacco and alcohol were also bought at the grocery store.
Now, being a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative could be said to be the most popular job. It was a proper " golden rice bowl," not an " iron rice bowl," but a golden one. The salary and benefits were much better than those of ordinary factory workers.
If anyone worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, it would be a super bonus. It would be easy to find a partner. They could only choose the right person. Even if she was extremely ugly, there was a high chance that she could find a partner.
In fact, a job in a supply and marketing cooperative would still be popular even twenty years later.
For example, in the 1980s, the people in the supply and marketing cooperative could get supplies that ordinary people did not have. They also had fixed channels, so it was relatively easy for them to get rich.
Yang Weimin was not going to the supply and marketing cooperative, but to Yanjing Department Store.
Department stores were developed later. Some people called the supply and marketing cooperative department stores. The name was more westernized and more appropriate.
Department stores were rare. There were no more than ten in Yanjing. To be precise, there were eight in total. Yanjing Department Store was now known as the " 100th Flower Planter ".
The area of Yanbai was twice as large as the other seven department stores combined. It could accommodate tens of thousands of customers at the same time. There were 1,000 salespeople alone, and there were even more if the logistics and cleaning were included.
From its title, it could be seen that Yanbai was not only in Yanjing, but even in the whole country. It was considered the mall with the most variety of products.
When most people were wearing cotton shoes and cloth shoes, Yanbai's shoes and hats department had hundreds of shoes for customers to choose from.
Outsiders might not go to the capital to play, but they definitely had to come to Yan Bai to shop and buy something.
There weren't any plastic bags yet. They were all wrapped in paper bags with the words " Yanjing Department Store " printed on them.
Anyway, whoever brought back a paper bag with the word " Swallow Hundred " printed on it would be the brightest child. If it was a gift, it would definitely be warmly welcomed by the host.
No matter what the gift was, as long as there was this paper bag, it was enough.
Yang Weimin had been here twice before, but he had only bought some daily necessities and strolled around.
Yan Bai was the only place that Yang Weimin felt was similar to the shopping malls of the later generations. There were special changing rooms, toilets on every floor, and rest spots.
Each counter had a dedicated salesperson, dressed neatly and uniformly, and the items were displayed in an orderly manner. It was very different from the supply and marketing cooperative in the countryside.
Yang Weimin went straight to Yan Baili's bicycle shop. He had been here twice before, so he knew where the big items were.
Even for people who came to Yanbai for the first time, it was hard not to see rows of brand new and shiny bicycles.
The number of bicycles also showed how domineering Yan Bai was. Other department stores or supply and marketing co-ops really didn't have so many bicycles.
In particular, many of the best-selling models were not just one, but a row.
There were all kinds of well-known brands, such as Yongjiu, Feige, Phoenix, and Hongqi.
Each brand had a different model. Yang Weimin walked to the area where permanent bicycles were sold and immediately found the PA17 he wanted to buy.
"Hello comrade, I want to buy a permanent PA17. How much is it?”
"178. Do you have tickets?"
Yang Weimin nodded and handed the ticket and money to the saleswoman.
The saleswoman first checked the ticket, registered it, and then gave the receipt to Yang Weimin.
Yang Weimin looked around the bicycle, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. The new car looked different, especially the permanent PA-17.
"Comrade, this is the receipt.”
"Alright, thank you!"
Yang Weimin pushed his bicycle out, planning to ride it around first.
The saleswoman was a little depressed as she watched the tall and handsome Yang Weimin leave. She thought that she was quite good-looking and worked at Yanbai. In the past, the young men who came to buy bicycles often hit on her.
It was rare to see someone who was more pleasing to the eye and had good conditions, but in the end, he only had eyes for the car and not her.
Yang Weimin knew what the saleswoman was thinking. He rode his bicycle and circled around Yan Bai. Many people were envious.
After two laps, Yang Weimin turned around and rode back to the police station.
He suddenly felt that what he did just now was like driving a supercar in the future and deliberately slamming the accelerator in the downtown area. It was a little too ostentatious.
Fortunately, he did not disturb the people. The road was wide and there were very few cars, so he did not need to honk.
Moreover, many people could tell that he had bought a new car and praised him. They praised both the person and the car. Yang Weimin liked the atmosphere of this era. It was simple and sincere.
