Chapter 75 Going to the Department Store to Buy Things



Ning Xi started with the basic theory, and reading pages was similar to reading e-books on a tablet.

At first she found it very obscure and difficult to understand, after all, she had never been exposed to this kind of content, but the more she read, the more shocked she was.

This was a world she had barely known.

According to Ning Xi's understanding and the information she obtained while surfing the Internet, traditional Chinese medicine is always related to various difficult and complicated diseases.

For example, if someone has terminal cancer and is incurable, someone will share their own experience: "Go see a Chinese doctor. My family member, so-and-so, had a terminal illness, but he saw an old Chinese doctor and is still alive and well after more than ten years."

There are also such things - "People are transparent in front of Chinese medicine. They know everything after taking your pulse. They can even tell how many times I have rewarded myself recently."

Another example is: "Traditional Chinese medicine is amazing. Just by taking my pulse, I knew I had been wronged at work."

"That's right. The old doctor knew I was having a nightmare just by looking at me."

Some people even believe that Chinese medicine is theology, and that the reason it cannot cure all diseases is that the most powerful things in its tradition have not been passed down.

But the first line of this book states that Traditional Chinese Medicine is a science.

Ning Xi was reading with great interest when suddenly her vision went dark and the reading interface was closed.

"Host, reading time is up, please renew."

Ning Xi:......

"System, why are you also called Traditional Chinese Medicine?" She suddenly discovered a blind spot.

The country that stole it even renamed it "Korean medicine".

System: "...You can understand that our planet is the Chinese nation in a parallel time and space, and the people who grew up there are also the Chinese people, but their technology is ahead of Blue Planet."

Ning Xi: "I understand. The future of China."

System: "That's fine, I understand."

The Ning family had dinner late, and it was already late when Ning Xi finished washing up and got into bed. She glanced at the time - 23:05.

If Ning Xi was a worker in her previous life, she would probably be sitting in front of the computer typing away at this moment. If she had no work to do, which was rare, she would definitely be surfing the Internet. In any case, it would be impossible for her to rest.

But Ning Xi in the 1970s was going to sleep.

Although she is very excited now, so excited that she wants to spend money to study all night, but nothing can be achieved overnight, so there is no need to rush.

Ning Xi closed her eyes and recalled what she had just read in her mind, consolidating it and using it for hypnosis.

1 minute later...

5 minutes later...

20 minutes later, Ning Xi was still very awake.

"Host, I sense that you are quite emotional at the moment. I don't think you will be able to fall asleep for a while. Do you need some sleep-inducing essential oil?"

"How much?" Ning Xi went straight to the point.

The system's voice was soft and flattering: "A single-use inhalation essential oil that can maintain five hours of deep sleep, for only two star coins."

Ning Xi bargained with the system: "Can I use half? I feel like two hours of deep sleep is enough, and I can use the rest next time."

There is no other way. Every star coin is hard-earned. She is now living off her savings. Most of the money comes from selling Maotai, so she has to live frugally.

And all she needs to do is get rid of this current energy. According to her daily routine, she is already fast asleep.

System: “…OK.”

After the negotiation was completed and the star coins were deducted, a miniature oral and nasal aerosol dispenser appeared in Ning Xi's hand.

"Just inhale it halfway and put it directly into the storage space so it won't expire." Although the system felt that Ning Xi was a bit too stingy, it still gave her considerate guidance.

There is no way, can it be untied?

"Thank you, Xiaotong, you are so nice." Ning Xi used the aerosol according to the system's instructions. Just as she put the remaining half into the space, a strong feeling of sleepiness attacked her.

I simply closed my eyes, took a deep breath and fell asleep.

The system was left in shock (if it had a face): Did it hear correctly? The host actually thanked it and praised it?

After feeling Ning Xi sleeping unconsciously, the system began to doubt itself again.

Maybe it heard wrong...

When Ning Xi woke up the next day, she felt refreshed and her physical condition had improved a bit. She changed into clothes that were washed white and went out for exercise as usual.

When she first started running, she would start panting and sweating after just two or three minutes.

With the effectiveness of the nutrient solution, and her daily exercise, she can now easily run three kilometers.

"Xiaoxi, let's go. Remember to eat." When I was going home, I happened to meet my uncle and aunt who were about to go out to work.

Ning Xi said goodbye to them with a red face after exercise: "Okay~"

After finishing her meal and washing her clothes, it was still early, so Ning Xi took the green shoulder bag that Liu Chunmei had sewn for her and rode her bike to the department store in Bayi Square in the west of the city.

There is a saying in Mingjiang City: "Once you enter a department store, don't even think about keeping a penny of the money in your pocket."

Maybe it's a bit of an exaggeration, but the point is clear - you can buy almost anything in a department store.

From big things like wedding gifts and rings to small things like needles and thread, everything can be purchased here. If you go to an ordinary retail store, you may not be able to buy anything even if you have a ticket.

Even on weekdays, there is a lot of traffic in Bayi Square, most of whom are young and beautiful girls.

As soon as Ning Xi entered the gate, she saw a long queue in front of her, and she had no idea what they were selling.

"Everyone line up! No one can buy anything if they don't line up!"

The voice of the salesperson came from the front. Probably because he had been shouting for too long, his voice was hoarse and rough. Ning Xi felt sorry for him and silently joined the queue after 0.01 seconds.

What she lacks the least now is time.

The Commercial Bureau has to report on August 1st, and Director Zhu will probably have to work during the day. But she has to bring gifts with her and cannot go directly to the factory.

All I had to do was go to the police station in the afternoon to collect the money, then go to the food factory to find Comrade Zhou, and finally go to Director Zhu's house.

Ning Xi, the master of time management, has arranged everything clearly. There is no traffic jam now, so there is plenty of time.

"Hey? Comrade, do you know what's being sold up ahead?" Not long after, Ning Xi also grew a long "tail" behind her, and a young woman greeted Ning Xi.

"I don't know either. I just arrived not long ago." Ning Xi shook her head.

The older sister in front of Ning Xi heard them talking and turned around: "You know nothing and you're lining up here? You youngsters, there's a new batch of Fanli Ding here!"

"What is Fanliding?" The original owner didn't have it in his memory.

The woman who had just asked Ning Xi excitedly answered, "I know. It's a kind of fabric. My cousin bought this fabric to make pants. It's really beautiful, flowing, and doesn't lint!"

After saying that, she turned around to look at the increasingly long line behind her and exclaimed, "It's definitely right to follow the main group!"

"You're quite clever."

The team was moving at a snail's pace, and the older sister in front simply turned around and started talking to them.

She came to queue up only after being notified in advance by her relatives. These two girls are really lucky.
