The next day, Yun Shudai, bundled up tightly again, went to the wholesale market. She had risen to a new level because of "The Flame Without Sorrow," and her popularity had increased slightly, so now she didn't dare to take off her mask when she went out.
She used her sister's two-door cart to haul grain five times. In the end, the cotton was too fluffy for her cart to fit, so she rented a van and asked him to help haul it two more times.
In addition to these, Yun Shudai also got 100 jin of oil for He Wan and bought 100 five-jin white plastic jugs to dispense the oil.
In just one day, Yun Shudai felt that she could lose a pound without going to the gym.
"This time we have 1,000 catties of rice and flour, 100 catties of brown sugar, 100 catties of white sugar, 100 pig trotters, 200 chickens, ducks and geese, um, how much pork was it again? I forgot, but it was almost a whole head. 500 catties of cotton, is that enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough. I can sell the mountain produce I gather. How long are you going to be gone? How much stock do you need for me?"
"Hmm, not sure yet, but it's better to be prepared. You know, once you're in the crew, it's hard to get out. There are seventy or eighty fish, and I see there are also crayfish. I was thinking of getting some for you."
"No need, fish is enough. What we're really short of is meat, eggs and fish. I don't know if anyone wants crayfish. Even though I live alone, I don't dare sit down to eat. You know, when the chimney comes out, people's noses are practically burning."
"It's so effective!"
"These days, we only get to eat meat once or twice a year, and they're even reluctant to use oil, don't you think? Hey, you're playing the second female lead again this time, it'll be three or four months, ah..."
"It'll only be a little over a month, so you can cook and eat here. I'll fill the fridge for you. I'll buy you some more steamed buns and fried dough sticks later. Do you have enough toilet paper?" Yun Shudai said, ordering dozens more packs of toilet paper online. She didn't dare buy anything too good, opting for the old-fashioned purplish-red kind. Poor Lao He.
I found a store selling military overcoats online, chatted with the seller to negotiate the price, and bought more than 30 sets, as well as work boots.
I also found a store online selling Dacron fabric, specifically floral print fabric, and ordered some.
Yun Shudai saw an old tailor shop on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app), and thinking that winters were still very cold in He Wan's area, she went to take a look this morning.
"Uncle, do you know how to make those cotton-padded monkey costumes from the 1970s?"
The uncle laughed and said, "Yes, I came from that era, of course I know how."
"Can I order two sets? One for girls, just the gray fabric will do."
"Sure, it's three hundred yuan a set. It's made of good materials, and the cotton is also good cotton."
"Okay, sir, I need two sets, including the cotton-padded pants. I need them urgently, can you expedite it for me?"
"Add one hundred more, and come pick it up the day after tomorrow."
"OK."
"Please, what size?"
"Just follow my lead, make sure it's a little shorter than me and looser."
After leaving the old tailor shop, Yun Shudai called Song Tengyuan again to ask if he wanted more wine.
"Yes, Sister Yun, where are you? I'll go get it from you."
"I have ten bottles left here. Can you buy them all? If not, please help me promote them. I need to sell them quickly."
"Ten bottles, Sister Yun, how many have you collected?"
"Four or five items, I wouldn't have given them up if I didn't need the money."
"Okay, I'll take them all."
Yun Shudai gave her the address of her residential complex; she didn't want to go to the coffee shop anymore.
Song Tengyuan had just hung up the phone when he called his cousin.
Upon hearing that there were ten bottles, Song Zitu hurriedly went to ask the shopkeeper what he thought.
