Ningxia was in a much better mood, and she didn't want to go back to see that eccentric family right away. She wandered over to the department store, intending to go in and see the difference between the items of this era and those in her space, to see if they could be used.
Jiang Province is a coastal city, and there are quite a lot of seafood here.
With more ships, transportation is convenient. We have seafood here that is not available in other department stores. The department store is a state-owned enterprise and covers a large area. It has two floors, which is a rare two-story building in this era.
Different areas in the building display different items, and each area has a large counter.
There was a wooden sign hanging on the counter, which detailed the items and prices of each counter. The variety was much more than she had imagined.
People come and go in the department store, and the sales clerks don't even raise their eyelids, which fully demonstrates the reality of "stethoscope, steering wheel, and priceless sales clerk" in this era.
She walked around and found that she didn't have tickets for the big items, but she had tickets for the small items.
What can attract women are definitely the clothes. There are many people standing next to the counter selling ready-made clothes. Ningxia fell in love with a blue dress, which was called bragi in that era.
The salesperson ignored her because of her tattered clothes. If it weren't for her face, she would have probably kicked her out.
"You are not allowed to touch it unless you want to buy it. How can you afford it if it gets dirty?" The salesperson looked at these country bumpkins with impatience. They came to see it every day, but few of them actually bought anything.
Ningxia took out the money and bills and handed them over. She also chose two practical dark-colored suits and pants. They weren't fancy, but they looked sturdy. The man's face brightened a lot when he saw the money and bills. He quickly opened the note, wrapped the clothes, and handed them to Ningxia.
The two sets of clothes used up all the cloth coupons Ningxia had plundered from Ning's mother plus twelve yuan. At that time, even if you had money, you couldn't buy anything without coupons. The family couldn't save enough coupons for a set of clothes in a whole year.
If someone's clothes don't have patches, they are from a well-off family.
Now that she was there, Ningxia decided to spend the rest of her coupons. Those coupons were valid for certain regions and time periods, and since she wasn't planning on returning, there was no point in keeping them. She used the brown sugar coupons and pastry coupons to buy glutinous rice noodles, cookies, and pastries.
Seeing the malted milk of this era, regardless of whether it was nutritious or not, she bought a can to try it, and also bought White Rabbit milk candy, which is a must-have for female protagonists in every era.
I saw some very rough paper cutters in various colors, and finally chose the less rough pink one. Even if I already have some in my space, I would buy some just to make it look nice.
The special soap of this era is much more fragrant than that of later generations. It is made of real ingredients without any additives. Ningxia bought two boxes and also bought a few boxes of the snow cream that the time-traveling girl checked in. She left reluctantly after using up almost all the bills she had on her.
Ningxia flipped through the two taels of oil coupons left in his hand and went to buy some oil, spending another dime to buy an oil bottle.
There were also several nationally recognized industrial tickets. Ningxia wasn't sure what they were for, and the original owner didn't remember them, so she kept them without using them.
I spent two cents to buy a few big bags to pack the things for the countryside. I packed up the things I bought and walked out of the department store. I found a deserted place and put the things into the space. Then I walked back slowly.
Halfway through the walk, she remembered that she had cloth and cotton in her space. Although her handicraft was pretty good, she could only knit sweaters and not make clothes. After thinking about it, she turned around and walked towards the teachers' family building.
Since she was going to make clothes, people would definitely be suspicious if she took out those things. Apart from Teacher Chu, she didn't know who to trust.
Teacher Chu had just finished lunch when he saw Ningxia coming back. He thought something had happened and was very worried.
After Ningxia explained her purpose, Teacher Chu didn't ask any questions. He just told Ningxia how many feet of cloth were needed for a set of clothes and how much cotton was needed for a set of cotton-padded clothes, and asked her what she planned to make.
Ningxia pretended to go out and came back with some cloth and cotton in her hands.
Teacher Chu thought that this daring girl must have gone to the black market. These cloths and cottons are not easy to buy. It is estimated that her subsidy for going to the countryside has been basically used up.
Teacher Chu has a sewing machine at home, so she will definitely make it for Ningxia before going to the countryside. Ningxia didn't dare to make more. In addition to making two sets of cotton-padded jackets and cotton trousers, she also made one set of short-sleeved and long-sleeved clothes. She was afraid that if she made too many new clothes, they would be too eye-catching.
On the way back, Ningxia was thinking about what she should bring with her to the countryside. The money she had was definitely not enough to spend. Needless to say, she knew that life in the countryside must be hard, and she couldn't do farm work, so she must bring enough money.
She doesn't plan to rely too much on space. She won't look down on people of any era, nor will she think she is special enough. It's always right to be cautious.
Of course, she had no intention of going to the black market. Not to mention that the supplies she had were only enough to feed herself, even if they piled up like a mountain, she wouldn't dare. Those time travelers in novels who dominated the world by reselling supplies across space were only in books.
There are smart people everywhere. The sudden appearance of a large amount of materials has disrupted the balance, and the source cannot be traced. She is afraid of being caught and sliced up for research.
She just wanted to survive and get through these few years. Compared to other people, she was much happier just having these things to fill her stomach.
Of course, you can’t miss the experiences you should have, such as the state-owned restaurant in front of you.
Slogans such as "hard work" and "self-reliance" were written on both sides of the door. Although the walls were greasy, the aroma of rice still made Ningxia's stomach growl.
I ordered a plate of braised pork, a plate of stewed eggplant and rice, and the portions were not as exaggerated as I imagined.
The prices were also extremely cheap. The menu stated that braised pork was 25 cents, stewed eggplant was 15 cents, plus two taels of food coupons.
