Chapter 13: Shopping spree

Having been mentally prepared in advance, she was no longer surprised by the attitudes of these sales clerks.

But Song Anan has similar ideas to the female character in the original novel. Isn't she just a salesperson? Why is she so awesome?

Song Anan immediately reported everything she needed.

You need a pot.

If you really can't find it at the supply and marketing cooperative, you can place an order on your mobile phone. Iron pans are the most common items in the 21st century.

A thermos.

Then there is cloth and cotton.

The clothes worn by both Yuanxu himself and the little ones in the family were too thin.

It's so old and torn, how can I wear it?

So Song Anan planned to make two new sets of clothes for each of the children.

One set of thin clothes and one set of cotton clothes.

March is a late spring with cold snaps, and the temperature sometimes drops suddenly.

The weather hasn't warmed up completely yet, so you still need a coat.

If you want single clothing, you can wear it when the weather gets warmer.

In addition, you have to buy toothbrushes, soap, toothpaste and other items for the home.

The poor families in the brigade were reluctant to buy these things because they not only required money but also employment coupons.

The Lu family didn't buy soap, they just used water to bathe. When Song Anan was bathing Lu Tianhao last night, the stains on the little guy's body were hard to rub off.

Toothbrushes are homemade using pig hair or willow twigs.

I didn't buy any toothpaste either, I just used some salt to brush my teeth.

The country people are used to this and can accept it.

For Song Anan, it was a little unacceptable, so she had to buy, buy, buy.

Then she plans to buy three enamel basins and two enamel pots for drinking water.

You have to buy pots, pans, and utensils, as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

When the salesperson heard that Song Anan wanted so many things, he glanced at her and reminded her with a haughty look, "You need a ticket to buy things here. You are buying so much, are you sure you have a ticket? If you don't have a ticket, I won't waste my time getting it for you."

For these country people who come to buy things, the salespersons encounter too many people who want to buy things with just money but no tickets.

People in the countryside have no jobs, and unlike people who work in the city, it is not easy to get a ticket.

Song Anan immediately took out a stack of bills from her pocket and asked, "Is that enough?"

The salesperson glanced at it.

"enough!"

Not just enough, but more.

The things Song Anan bought didn't cost that many tickets.

Song Anan urged, “Since it’s enough, why don’t you give it to me?”

The salesperson never thought that one day he would be disliked by a country bumpkin.

She originally wanted to retort, but the other person had the tickets.

With that kind of momentum, I guess he has enough money.

There was no choice but for the salesperson to get the things for Song Anan.

Most of the supply and marketing cooperatives here have what Song Anan needs.

But there are also some that don’t.

"There's no pot. If you want to buy one, it may take a while. Of course, if the supply is insufficient, you may not be able to get one even if you wait a month."

Song Anan didn't care about this and didn't want to place an order for the phone.

Things like thermos and fabrics are typical of the 70s, but it's hard to find the right items. For iron pots, the big iron pots of the 21st century are similar to those of this generation.

If you place an order from your mobile phone and buy it, no one will notice anything unusual.

The salesperson first took out things like enamel basins and thermos.

The most classic enamel basin of this era is the one with a peony-shaped bottom.
