Since 1983

No. 28, Daju Hutong.

Ge You is doing a specimen display.

The upper body is a white pullover with a rear hood and elasticated neckline. The word "beatnik" is printed on the front. This word, like hippies, is a unique cultural concept in the United States. It roughly refers to the "beat generation".

The lower body is gray trousers, and second-hand sneakers, the uppers of which are damaged and faded.

The clothes are short, the trousers are short, and Ge You also likes to hunchback. It is perfect with that hairstyle, and it is a perfect example of repatriation.

"What about the upper body?"

"The upper body can bear it."

"Well, then I'll change it for you."

Just as he was talking, Liu Bei also changed his clothes and came out, a long skirt with floral suspenders and white sandals. These days, sandals are worn with socks, Xu Fei specially told them to be barefoot.

"..."

Li Jianqun looked at it for a long time, then turned his head and asked, "How is it?"

"unconfident."

"And monotonous, you try this."

She took a straw hat tied with a ribbon and put it on for the other party, "You grab the skirt with both hands and turn around..."

"Why, how to turn?"

Liu Bei was not used to it, and was still nervous and at a loss.

"I teach you."

Xu Fei leaned over and grabbed the sides of the trousers with both hands, "Stand out, it's okay, move more, the long skirt can't go all the way... Oh yes, smile, with a smile on your face, think about the feeling of summer, turn around, and be lighter ..."

"You, you are much more beautiful than her!"

Li Jianqun leaned on the table and smiled, his eyes trembling into puddles of water.

Xu Fei had no shame, and said solemnly: "Find the feeling of the model as soon as possible, and shoot it soon. You are definitely not in this state."

"I will work hard." Liu Bei pursed his lips.

"What do you think of this dress?"

"Quite good looking."

"No, we not only want to look good, but also to be comfortable."

"Well……"

Liu Bei had to walk around twice, "It's quite comfortable."

"Okay, this set is complete."

Xu Fei laid out the drawings, like playing cards, from one end to the other, picked one of them, and put it into another paper bag.

"This set can be used as a basic style for summer, with or without a hat, sandals and sneakers, with a shirt or nothing."

"But the straps of the sandals, I think are too simple, how about making patterns?"

"The pattern is cumbersome, just get a cross."

"You didn't consider the overall factors. The skirt is a bit monotonous, and the shoes have to be neutralized."

"This set follows a simple and sweet style, there is no need to neutralize it."

"..."

Ge You and Liu Bei poke at the side like two fools, seemingly forgotten.

After standing for a long time, Uncle Ge winked and left the room silently.

"You don't need us, do you?"

"uncertain."

"Then let's go, you go in and ask."

"How dare I, they can scare people to death when they quarrel, you are a woman, you ask."

Liu Bei rolled his eyes, probed and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Xu, can we go?"

"Ah? Oh, let's go...Hey, don't go yet, one set will be finished soon, you can try it later."

"Then can I go?" Ge You shouted outside.

"You're fine, you go first."

"Hey hey!"

That guy covered his mouth with a cat waist, as if he was picking up a big bargain.

Liu Bei had no choice but to sit in the room and continue to watch the two quarrel with the clacking sound of the old master.

………………

Wangfujing, a stationery store.

During the day when it is not a rest day, there are not many customers, and the salesperson sits behind the counter bored.

With a sound of "squeak", a gust of evil wind swept in the two girls. One of them took off his mask and asked softly, "Comrade, can I see the bookmark?"

"Baochai?!"

The salesperson covered her mouth, then put it down again, and then covered her mouth again, "Daiyu!"

"Do you have a bookmark?"

Seeing him in a daze, Chen Xiaoxu asked again.

"Ah, yes!"

The salesperson frantically dug out a few boxes, and enthusiastically introduced: "This is the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, these are the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, this is Xu Beihong's horse, and these are the characters from "Water Margin"... We sell them as a set, or we can sell them individually. Zhang Mai, which one do you want?"

"..."

Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu looked at those bookmarks, which were made of cardboard, with holes punched at the top, and colored silk thread. The pattern looks a bit old, but it is basically printed and very clear.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little helpless, "Do you have a diary?"

"Yes, yes!"

The salesperson dug out a few more diaries, the kind with plastic covers, bright red and green, with one or two pages of color pictures in them.

"how much is this?"

"Two dollars."

"Oh, thanks, let's take a look."

When the two went out, the wind and sand raged all over the sky, and their faces hurt from the blowing, so they quickly put on masks.

"Still watching?"

"I don't think it's necessary to read."

"I think so, then go back first."

Zhang Li pedaled on the bicycle, and the two of them went back to Baihua Hutong against the strong wind. Shen Lin was feeding the dog in the courtyard, "I'm back, have you eaten yet?"

"Don't eat."

Chen Xiaoxu waved his hand, pulled him into the room and fell on the bed, "I'm exhausted!"

"My feet hurt too."

Zhang Li lay paralyzed on Luohan's bed, and sighed: "After running for two days, the only gain is knowing that I can't do this job."

"Yeah, who would have thought? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Chen Xiaoxu covered his head with the quilt and made a very depressed and strange noise.

Grandpa Mao taught us that "without investigation, there is no right to speak." The two of them stood outside the market and looked at it, thinking that it was nothing more than that. After really in-depth research, they found that people had already leveled the road.

In the current bookmark market, there are many defective products, as well as high-quality ones.

Chen Xiaoxu was very proud at first, she wanted to follow the routine, such as the twelve zodiac signs, the twenty-four solar terms, spring, summer, autumn and winter, but in the end he had them all.

Moreover, bookmarks are thin in profit and cumbersome to print. You have to make large batches to make them.

"Failed!"

She was very depressed under the covers.

"We haven't started yet, this should be what he said, oh, stop the loss in time."

Zhang Li took a sip of water and felt sticky again. The sand mixed with sweat was very uncomfortable, "I want to take a bath, do you want to go?"

"No, I'll think about it again."

"Then I'm going."

She put towels, soap, etc. into the washbasin, went out with the basin, and took a soak in the bathhouse near the alley.

It was dark and the wind was blowing when she came back and greeted Wu Xiaodong, but the main room hadn't turned on the lights yet. As soon as he entered the door of the west chamber, he found that Xiao Xu was still lying on the bed.

"Still thinking about it?"

"Um."

"You don't eat anymore?"

"Don't eat."

"How about that, let me bake you a sweet potato."

Zhang Li went to the kitchen to get a big sweet potato, set up a small stove, and found a piece of thin cardboard to cover it. Then cut into thin slices and spread out one by one on the cardboard.

The stove is very hot, the heat is coming through, the sweet potatoes are dehydrated, and soon emit a unique sweet fragrance.

On the bed in the back room, Chen Xiaoxu hugged the quilt and racked his brains.

Bookmarks, notebooks, and stationery can't be done at all. Unless you have your own factory and produce in large quantities, you can make money in this way. But she knows that there is no factory now, just a workshop, and the focus is on clothing.

Xu Fei obviously focused on the women's market, just like selling satchels back then.

Chen Xiaoxu followed the practice booth, got a good taste of it, and his thoughts were in sync. So she thought of selling school bags again, targeting the children's market, and she was shocked by the purchasing power generated by those children rolling around.

I don't know about women's clothing for the time being, but there is a child in the play, Zhao Yanni.

Zhao Yanni, a little girl in her early ten years old, what does the little girl like?

"Come and eat."

Zhang Li came in with a plate and picked up a piece of slightly burnt sweet potato, "Here, huh... be careful of burning."

Xiao Xu subconsciously opened his mouth and swallowed it directly.

"Stupid you?"

She poked her sister's head, "I put this in, remember to eat."

Finally, she went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, but Xu Fei hadn't come back yet.

There are shadows in the yard, the branches of the pomegranate tree are shaking, the dog is playing with the bugs, and the cat is yawning on the windowsill. The whispers of the couple came from the east chamber, mixed with some strange things.

"The lights are off."

"No, I want to see it."

"What are you looking at... oops!"

"..."

Zhang Li blushed when she heard this, and hurriedly carried water back to the house, but Chen Xiaoxu was still lying there.

"You are really obsessed, it's not too late to discuss tomorrow?"

"No, I can't sleep if I can't figure it out!"

Xiao Xu glanced at her, "You're being gentle again."

"I'm combining work and rest. I'm here to burn my feet. You've been walking for a day."

"Um?"

Seeing that she was still, Zhang Li sighed, poured a basin of hot water in and brought in, "I must have owed you in my previous life."

"No, you are a blessing I cultivated in my previous life."

Chen Xiaoxu coaxed her so hard that she couldn't even get angry, and immediately tore off her socks, and put her two tender little feet into the basin. When the toes are soaked in the water, they seem to be transparent against the light.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly there was a sound outside, someone pushed a cart into the courtyard, but came back.

(No more at night, need to rest.)
