In this era, supermarkets can be quickly accepted by the market. In addition to providing a large number of goods, they are also completely open.

The self-selected business model is also an important factor. Customers can completely choose the goods they need, clearly mark the price, and then go to the counter to check out. However, local people who are first exposed to this business model are prone to falling into a large number of goods and it is difficult to make a choice. Zhao Ping has been in the supermarket for more than an hour and was dazzled by the dazzling array of products on the shelves and does not know what to buy.

In the end, Zhao Ping bought Zhao Weizhong a complete set of the most popular cadre uniforms in Qingdao now. In fact, this uniform style is the foundation of Zhongshan clothing in the old time and space. It was slightly modified and is a standard clothing for administrative personnel. Several time travelers jointly established a clothing factory to bring this style of clothing to the market. It soon became widely popular in the market and became the most popular men's clothing in Qingdao. Because administrators in the East China market are all called cadres, the people call this style of clothing "cadre uniforms". In addition, they also bought a paper cigarette, which is of course also a popular product driven by overseas Chinese.

He bought a piece of silk and a set of pen and ink supplies for Zhao Weizhong's daughter Zhao Shuilan because he knew that Zhao Shuilan is now a teacher in Tianjin Hope School, so pen and ink supplies are suitable for her.

In this way, Zhao Weizhong and his daughter finally bought all the gifts, and Zhao Ping bought some simple items, which were intended to give to Zhao Weizhong's servants. In the end, Zhao Ping hesitated for a long time and finally bought a pair of sterling silver bracelets to give to Zhao Shuilan's close-fitting girl Qiu Qing. In fact, this is a secret buried in Zhao Ping's heart. Although Zhao Ping told He Xin that he was single, without any worries, and was not in a hurry to get married, Zhao Ping had already had a goal in his heart, which was Qiu Qing.

However, although they are both servants, Zhao Ping is just a close companion to Zhao Weizhong, while Qiu Qing is Zhao Shuilan's close-knit daughter, and her status is also high and low. If it is normal, when Zhao Shuilan gets married, Qiu Qing is likely to be a dowry maid, and in the future it will probably be a concubine for Zhao Shuilan's future husband. The chance of marrying Qiu Qing is not great, so Zhao Ping sometimes feels upset about it.

But now his identity is different. He is the second lieutenant of the People's Army. The corresponding military system of the Qing court is the chief general. This is the seventh rank. Of course, the Qing court's official system is respected by civil officials, so the rank of military generals is often the first rank than that of civil officials, but it is still enough for people like Zhao Weizhong who have no fame. It was his words with He Xin that aroused Zhao Ping's thoughts and felt that if he went to ask Zhao Weizhong for Qiu Qing now, most of it would be possible. So he bought a gift for Qiu Qing. Thinking of this, Zhao Ping bought two more ginseng for Zhao Weizhong.

After the final settlement, the gifts cost Zhao Ping 22.28 yuan, which took the top 1/3 of his savings, which also made Zhao Ping feel a little painful. However, when I thought it was rare to go back, it was also worth spending more money. Moreover, I couldn't use much money in the military camp, let alone I had big things to do.

After buying the gift, Zhao Ping found a restaurant to have dinner, then returned to the dock, retrieved his luggage, and boarded a ship back to Tianjin.

At around 6 a.m. the next day, the ship arrived at Dagukou. The sky was just a little brighter. After getting off the boat, Zhao Ping realized that there were quite a few people disembarking at Dagukou, and there were many people waiting for the next ship to set off in the waiting room. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Tianjin was originally bustling and lively, there were so many people coming and leaving the port.

Zhao Ping followed the passengers who had disembarked out of the dock and saw a large square in front of the dock. A tall stone tablet was erected in the middle, with a huge clock hanging in all directions. At this time, the street lights were still on, so you can see clearly. Many shops were opened on both sides of the square, and the doors were opened for business, and the crowds were constantly entering and leaving. There were a row of long tents on the side of the road on both sides, with the words "Car Point" written on the left and right. There were also words such as animal carts, rickshaws, trucks, etc. below. There were many horse carts, donkey carts, and rickshaws parked in the tent in order, and many passengers were lined up there to get on the bus.

At this time, a young man in his 30s walked up to Zhao Ping and said, "June, do you want to take a car? Just take a villain's car, it's cheap and comfortable..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Don't solicit guests in the square, go and wait at the bus stop."

When Zhao Ping looked back, he turned out to be a young man wearing a security uniform and a rattan hat. He hurriedly ran over and said to the young man: "Ma Liu, it turned out that you were soliciting customers in the square again. He fined you more than 2 yuan last month. Why did he still have to teach him to do it? Do you still want to be punished this month?" As he said that, he took out a small book from his mouth and recorded what it was on it?

Ma Liu hurriedly said with a smile: "Brother, brother, I won't dare again next time, and I won't dare again next time, so don't punish me this time."

The security guard said: "That's not possible. The port has the order rules of the port. If you want to take passengers, you must go to the bus stop to wait in line. How many times have you taught you, but why can't you remember it? If everyone is like you and pulling customers in the square, wouldn't it be a mess?" As he said that, he tore off a piece of paper from the notebook and handed it to Ma Liu, he said: "I'll pay the fine this afternoon. You have violated the rules last month more than 10 times. If you have to spend more than 3 more times this month, your operating license will be banned."

Ma Liu was startled and couldn't help complaining: "I have to cancel my license. It's too strict. There are more than a dozen cars in front of me. How long will it take to wait for my turn? It's better to let me go to the square to pull a quicker one. Why do you make this breaking the rules? It's really a problem for yourself. I think I should change it."

At this time, Zhao Ping said: "Master, you are wrong. The dock formulates these rules to bring convenience to all of us, and it is not intentionally to make things difficult for you. You think that attracting customers in the square is quick, because other car masters are queuing up for the rules. If everyone comes to the square to attract customers and everyone fights for each other, there is no rules at all, can it get faster? I think you will still obey the rules honestly in the future."

The security guard nodded repeatedly and said, "Did you hear that? The leader of the People's Army has a high level of ideological awareness and makes sense to say too much. Hurry up and go in line, no longer be punished, and the license will not be banned."

Ma Liu had nothing to say, so he had to take the ticket and go to the bus to queue up. The security guard said to Zhao Ping again: "Sir, thank you, you still know a lot."

Zhao Ping was also quite satisfied, because the education he received in the army was that even if he left the military camp, he still had to maintain the style of the army and try his best to maintain the image of the People's Army in society. What he said just now should be counted, so he smiled and said, "These are what I should do. These people are not easy to make life. We should be more patient and reasoned with them."

The security guard nodded repeatedly and said, "You are right. I remember all the truths you said just now. I will definitely say patiently next time that you are going there. Do you want me to help?"

Zhao Ping said: "Do you know there are trains to Tianjin New City now?"

The security guard looked at the wall clock and said, "There is a trip at 7 o'clock, and there is still more than half an hour left. It's still time for you to hurry up now." Then he told Zhao Ping the location of the railway station.

After thanking the security guard, Zhao Ping rushed to the train station and indeed caught the 7 o'clock train. When the train arrived at Tianjin New City, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. But he had not returned to Tianjin for a year. Zhao Ping only felt that Tianjin was more lively than when he joined the army and left, and there were several more roads he didn't know. Fortunately, the street where Zhao Weizhong's mansion was located had not changed much, so Zhao Ping quickly came to the door of Zhao Weizhong's mansion and set up a door knocker.

The person who came to open the door was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He looked at Zhao Ping in military uniform and was stunned for a while before asking, "Is there anything wrong with this military master?"

In fact, Zhao Ping had long recognized him. This is Zhao Quan, the current housekeeper of the Zhao family. It turned out that he called him Uncle Quan, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Quan, I am Zhao Ping."

After hearing this, Zhao Quan recognized Zhao Ping and said, "It turns out that it is Brother Ping, I almost couldn't recognize him. Why did he come back at this time?"

Zhao Ping said: "It just happened that there were a few days off in the army, so I came back and checked it out."

Zhao Quan said: "Okay, okay, the master has been talking about you these days. Come in quickly, come in quickly, and have something to say into the house." As he said that, he closed the door first, and then helped Zhao Ping pick up the rattan box and walked into the house.

While entering the house with Zhao Quan, Zhao Ping said, "Is the master at home?"

Zhao Quan said: "I'm not here, I went out early in the morning and said I went to the municipal government for a meeting. Now our family is very proud of our appearance in this Tianjin city. Boss Cao, Boss Zheng, and Boss Liang must be respectful to the master."

Zhao Ping knew that the boss Cao who Zhao Quan mentioned was Cao Jianqiu. He turned out to be a student majoring in the turbine machinery of Beiyang Naval Academy. Because he was proficient in foreign languages, he acted as a translator in the concession and ran a business company; Zheng's boss Zheng Yizhi, he was a comprador of the Pacific Foreign Company; Liang's boss Liang was named Liang Yanqing, he was a comprador of the Jardines Foreign Company. Because they had a good relationship with foreigners in the past, they were all famous in the business world of Tianjin. They were the figures that Zhao Weizhong looked up to in the past. I didn't expect that now he was on par with them, and he was even better. This was really thirty years from Hedong and thirty years from Hexi.

At this time, the two of them came to the main hall. Zhao Quan asked Zhao Ping to sit down and asked someone to make tea. After Zhao Ping sat down, he said, "Where is the eldest lady? Are you still a female teacher in school?"

Zhao Quan laughed and said, "The young lady is amazing now. Half of our family's face is earned by the young lady. In the government, there is a female cadre named Gao Jun. Although she is a woman, she is a big official. She is at least one of the top five officials in Tianjin New Town. Now the young lady is not only a female teacher in school, but also a clerk for her? Now she works as a job in the municipal government every day?"

Zhao Ping had heard of Gao Jun's name and knew that she was one of the most famous female officials from overseas Chinese. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shuilan would actually serve as a documentary for her. Of course, for overseas Chinese, she was called a secretary, which probably meant the management of confidential documents. Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have not separated their families. Zhao Weizhong had no son, but his daughter became an official, which was a good result.

At this time, the tea was brewed, and Zhao Quan said, "Sit for a while, I will arrange a house for you and send someone to send a letter to the master to see if the master will come back at noon."

Zhao Ping's heart moved and said, "Qiu...Is Qing Qing at home? I bought some gifts for the eldest lady, and I just happened to put them away for Qiu Qing."
