When he went to the military service club, Zhang Yanming bought two pairs for himself, two pairs for his father, and not to leave behind his mother.

Zhang Yanjun laughed: "What's going on? Xiaohui and I are running errands?"

Okay, then I bought them all. I got ten pairs at once, two pairs for each person.

Don't just focus on one pair of shoes in winter, as the moisture and sweat won't have time to dissipate.

"Hahaha, there are so many shoes, Dad, we are here to wholesale." The little girl was so happy.

"Oh, you still know about wholesale?"

"You know, when grandma goes to stock the goods, she wholesales them, which is cheaper than selling them. Otherwise, how can she make money?"

Zhang Yanjun twisted the little girl's face: "Baby is so smart."

"Oh, it's so awkward to make someone look ugly. What should I do if I look ugly?"

Zhang Yanming paid here. Pure military hooks are not cheap. They are made of calfskin and rabbit fur. The workmanship is very solid and they are all made of the best materials. A pair costs more than 400 yuan.

Don't look at the fact that a pair of big bucks can cost 3,000 yuan now, and a pair of old people's head can cost 1,800 yuan. Not many people can afford it, and most people only pay a few hundred and 80 yuan.

"It's a lot of money. Uncle, we, we bought so much, you give it to us wholesale, we need a discount."

When the little girl saw her father taking out a thick stack of money, she became anxious and shouted at the salesman at the top of her lungs.

Brother Bing was stunned for a moment and his face turned red. He looked at the little girl and didn't know what to say. He couldn't decide the price either. The sellers were all new recruits with tender faces.

"It's okay, it's okay, you take what you have." Zhang Yanming handed over the money.

Zhang Yanjun knelt down and hugged the little girl and said, "You can't bargain here. This is a military unit, not a store. Because the stuff here is good, do you understand?"

"How good is it?"

“Exceptionally good.”

"Okay." The little girl nodded and looked at the money in Brother Bing's hand, her big eyes full of reluctance. It would take a long time to earn it, and it would take so long that she couldn't even count it.

After loading the shoes into the car, Lao Xu smiled and patted the trunk lid: "Does this still fit in?"

Zhang Yanming scratched his head and forgot about this problem: "Look, if it doesn't work, think of another way."

"What else do you want to buy?" Zhang Yanjun asked.

"Water heater and water dispenser. Let's go. If it doesn't work, buy the same first."

Get in the car and run to the Hongkong Building, where is the electronics and electrical appliances mall.

"How about going to the commercial building?" Zhang Yanjun looked at Zhang Yanming: "I always feel that there are fake and inferior products in the Hongkong Building."

"Okay, whatever, it feels the same."

"The same thing is a bit more expensive in a commercial building." Lao Xu interjected.

"Dad, let's go buy something cheap, okay?" the little girl turned to look at Zhang Yanming and asked pitifully.

"Why?"

"Everything is gone. So much is gone. What should I do if I have no money? Are you not going to eat?"

"This little girl is so rare. She acts like an adult and is quite thoughtful." Old Xu shook his head.

"Yes. Dad has brought enough. Let's go eat delicious food later, okay?"

"real?"

"real."

"But, it costs too much, can you do it in the future?"

"In the future, dad will earn more and I will ensure that you have food to eat and eat delicious food, okay?"

"Okay." The little girl nodded, still looking a little worried.

She was at her grandma's house every day and was used to her grandma's frugality. She had learned early on to spend money calculatedly, negotiate prices, and find out if it was not cost-effective to follow the plan. She suddenly couldn't adapt to her father's way of spending money.

"We are not spending money indiscriminately. We are buying what we should buy and not buying what we don't need. You have to wear shoes, right? A water heater is just like a TV. Once you buy it, it will last for many, many years."

"It's like a TV? It's like a refrigerator. Once you buy it, you don't have to buy it again, isn't it dad?"

"right."

The little girl took a deep breath and calmed down. She was really anxious just now.

"You guys are so cruel. This is the first time I've seen you buy something like this. You have two pairs of shoes per person. It's quite scary." Old Xu clicked his tongue.

"Actually, this is the most cost-effective way to buy. You can save money by wearing two pairs instead of wearing them. Just buy one pair and keep wearing them."

While talking, the car arrived at the Hongkong Building. After parking the car, everyone got out of the car and went upstairs. Lao Xu also turned off the engine and got out of the car to follow. He had not seen the water heater yet.

Water heaters were not yet popular in the north in 1996. They were considered high-end household appliances. They were not purchased in large quantities and had few brands, but the technology was already quite mature.

Ariston, Vanward, Sakura, Dingxin, and imported brands such as Smith are the ones installed in Shanghai villas.

The prices are a bit outrageous, with prices ranging from seven to eight thousand to tens of thousands.

Zhang Yanjun glanced at it a few times: "This is too expensive, is it worth it?"

Zhang Yanming laughed: "It depends on how you look at it. If you think it's worth it, it's worth it. It's convenient to use hot water in cold weather. You don't have to freeze your hands and feet, and you don't have to go through the trouble of boiling and mixing water. It's quite useful."

Lao Xu nodded: "That is, whether something is useful or not depends on the need and the ability to make money."

The capacity of electric water heaters at the moment is not large, but it is definitely enough for kitchen use.

The seller was a young man who greeted me warmly.

"Is there a water dispenser?" Zhang Yanming asked before he could speak.

"Yes." This was purely a professional habit, so I gave an affirmative answer without thinking about it.

Zhang Yanming laughed and said, "Go get me a water dispenser. The quality must be guaranteed, and you are not allowed to add money. I will buy a water heater when I get back."

"Okay, bro, just wait a minute." The young man reacted, shouted with a smile, turned around and ran away. They must be familiar with the water dispenser sellers, and when buying goods, they follow the industry price, which is cheaper than buying it yourself. , and also saved your tongue.

Generally, when you go to buy a variety of things, you might as well try this method. Sometimes it works quite well.

"Brother, this is the latest model. It has many installations and has a refrigeration function. Do you think it will work?" It didn't take long before the young man ran back with a water dispenser on his shoulders.

At this time, the mainstream of water dispensers was split type, with a built-in filter bucket for you to add tap water yourself.

In a few years, bottled water became popular, and the water dispenser with its own filter barrel slowly disappeared. Then after 2006, due to the exposure of various disadvantages of the water dispenser, it changed its appearance and re-entered the market. Come back.

"You didn't get a few filters?"

"No need, brother, basically you don't need to change this thing, generally you don't need to change it, what can be in the water, right?"

"Bring me two. Do you use this machine at home? It's best to replace the filter elements every three months and six months."

However, the quality of drinking water during this period was indeed much higher than later, and it was still safe.

"Brother, you need to check which water heater you want. I'll get it for you." The young man ran out again.

"Regardless of whether this private business is expensive or not, this attitude is really comfortable. The state-owned business always seems like you owe him money." Old Xu shook his head again. Zhang Yanming found that he particularly liked shaking his head.

When the filter element was brought back, Zhang Yanming said: "The quality should be better, and the capacity should be the largest. It will burn electricity."
