Because she has decided to buy a car in the future, so that it will be convenient to go anywhere and she can travel to different cities like people in the 21st century.
She signed up for a travel book that introduced various cities, tourist attractions, and local beauties, which was really tempting.
She also hopes that when she achieves success in her career, she can buy a car and travel to all the beautiful landscapes of her country, see the scenery, eat delicious food, and make up for the fact that she was trapped in a small space in her previous life.
Qin Mi noticed that Wen Xi was staring intently at the driver's movements, and seemed to understand something.
They arrived at the furniture factory quickly, and the car drove directly into the factory grounds. The factory manager personally came to greet Qin Mi. This was the advantage of having a high position; you were respected wherever you went.
Wenxi looked on with great envy. She also wanted to make her mark on society through her own efforts and become a respected and admired person.
"Director Qin, what brings you here today?" The furniture factory manager was a middle-aged man, but he was still very nervous in the face of the imposing Qin Mi.
"Nothing much today, just came to pick out a few pieces of furniture," Qin Mi said calmly, her tone revealing no joy or sorrow.
"The finished furniture is all in the warehouse. Director Qin, please come with me," the factory manager said.
Qin Mi glanced at Wen Xi, who nodded. The two then followed the factory manager toward the warehouse. Along the way, they could hear all sorts of jarring noises coming from the factory.
Upon arriving at the warehouse, the air was filled with the smell of wood. Although the furniture had been oiled and painted, there was no pungent odor.
Seeing Qin Mi frowning, the factory manager asked somewhat nervously, "Director Qin, didn't you see the furniture you wanted?"
Qin Mi pointed to the double-door wardrobe in front of her and said, "This wardrobe is too short. Could you customize another standard-sized one for me, three meters long and two meters high? Is that possible?"
The factory manager immediately took out a pen from his pocket and wrote it down on a piece of paper. "Director Qin, I will tell the head craftsman your requirements. We will deliver the wardrobe to you after it is finished."
Although Wen Xi was puzzled as to why Qin Mi wanted an extra wardrobe, she didn't ask too many questions. He was alone now, but he might get married and have children in the future. If the wardrobe was too small, it wouldn't be able to hold all the family's clothes.
So he bought a small one for himself to use first, and then bought a big one to keep for when he has a wife and children in the future?
That's probably what Qin Mi was planning, right?
Afterwards, Qin Mi selected two two-meter-long tables and a bench, which, when placed by the window, formed a desk. The table also had several drawers, so even if she wasn't reading in the bedroom, she could use it to store small items.
As for why Qin Mi chose two cards, Wen Xi didn't understand. The furniture factory manager was right next to her, so Wen Xi didn't feel comfortable asking about these things.
After browsing through the furniture factory's warehouse, Qin Mi asked for a double-door wardrobe, two long tables, two benches, a double bed, four large mahogany chests, a cupboard, a tall and short cabinet, a TV stand, a washbasin stand, a shoe rack, and so on.
He bought so much, more than other people buy for their weddings. But Qin Mi's house is really empty, and he does need these things. He's bought them now so that he won't need to buy some for the wedding.
When Qin Mi was choosing a double bed, the factory manager subconsciously glanced at Wen Xi. Wen Xi found it strange and wondered why he was looking at her.
Qin Mi left his address and asked the factory manager to arrange for someone to deliver the furniture to his home that afternoon. After that, Qin Mi left with Wen Xi. Once in the car, Wen Xi focused intently on the driver's movements.
She was determined to learn how to drive.
The driver then drove to a grocery store, but by then the store was out of vegetables, with only some yellow vegetable leaves left, and there was no good meat left on the pork stall.
Wenxi brought Qin Mi vegetables in the morning, so Qin Mi didn't need to buy any.
However, Qin Mi needed to buy an iron pot later and season it with oil, so he bought some lower-grade meat to render oil for seasoning.
Once the large cupboard arrives, he can put things in it, so Qin Mi plans to buy more grain. However, he doesn't have that much time to knead dough and make noodles, so he bought fifty catties of rice, only ten catties of flour, and several dozen catties of coarse grains. This is because the food supply for city dwellers is a mix of coarse and refined grains; it's impossible to give you only a portion of refined grains.
Qin Mi was able to buy so much rice and flour at once because he hadn't bought any for a while. He almost always ate at the cafeteria and rarely cooked at home.
Now that we have a cupboard, we can lock the grain inside, and mice can't get in. It's okay to buy a little more than we need.
After buying the grain, they also bought all the seasonings according to their allotted quotas. Then they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy an iron pot and an earthenware pot. Qin Mi had industrial ration coupons, so it was easy for him to buy the iron pot.
After that, he bought a thermos, bowls and chopsticks, plates, soup bowls, dough basins, enamel basins, pickle jars, and many other daily necessities. He decided to transform his home into a warm and welcoming place, rather than an empty house.
Seeing them shopping so extravagantly, the people around them were incredibly envious and jealous.
But watching Qin Mi load the things onto the car, they dared not show any emotion. This man was clearly no ordinary person, and if he did anything wrong, they would definitely suffer the consequences.
Qin Mi loaded all the items onto the car, then returned to continue shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative with Wen Xi. Noticing that Qin Mi's window had no obstructions, Wen Xi asked, "Brother Qin, do you have cloth coupons?"
"Yes." Qin Mi took out cloth coupons and handed them to Wen Xi. These were the ones he had exchanged with his colleagues.
Wen Xi took the cloth coupon and walked towards the cloth counter. After looking at the cloth behind it, she asked, "Brother Qin, do you like dark blue?"
"It looks pretty good." Qin Mi nodded.
Knowing that Qin Mi's window was not big, Wen Xi cut seven feet of cloth and then asked Qin Mi to buy nails and wire. Without these things, where would the curtains be hung?
All the things had been bought, and it was already noon. Qin Mi originally wanted to treat Wen Xi to a meal at a state-run restaurant, but then he remembered that Wen Xi had brought him a cleaned duck and a fish today, and they would go bad if they weren't eaten today.
Moreover, meals at state-run restaurants pass by so quickly, unlike the time it takes to cook and eat at home.
So Qin Mi decided to go home and cook for himself.
After bringing everything into the house, Qin Mi asked his driver to go buy firewood for him, since he didn't have any firewood at all.
Qin Mi replaced the coal in the stove, washed the rice and started cooking. Then he went to the well to wash the pots, pans and other utensils he had bought. After washing them, he placed them by the well to drain.
