Oh, and face cream too!
Qiongzhou Island is surrounded by the sea, so the ultraviolet radiation is quite strong. If you don't apply something to your face before going out, you'll get a tan in just a few days.
No woman doesn't love beauty, and Jiang Si is no exception!
I chose the most popular ones on the market: Shanghai Women's, Ya Shuang, Pechoin, Friendship, and Shuangmei. I bought five boxes of each!
Then there's toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, laundry detergent, prickly heat powder, floral water, and mosquito nets. These are all things we use most often, especially in summer, so we have to buy them!
Slippers, sandals, and white sneakers—three pairs of each!
Five sets of pure cotton underwear arrived! I wanted to buy more, but they didn't have her size.
Since we were already there, we bought raincoats, rain boots, and umbrellas, and also picked out a few woven straw hats.
Jiang Si didn't buy any metal kettles, enamel basins, or aluminum lunch boxes; she had already stored all the ones she already had in the space, which was enough.
"Hello, comrade, could you help me calculate how much this costs?"
The sales clerk swallowed hard: "Sir, are you buying so much?"
Jiang Si smiled and nodded: "Yes, I brought some for my classmates."
Since there was no purchase limit, it was her freedom to buy as much as she wanted, and what the salesperson thought was completely outside her consideration.
After buying these, Jiang Si went to the nearby grocery counter.
We ordered 5 jin of brown sugar, 2 jin of each kind of pastry, and she didn't like the taste of malted milk powder, so we ended up buying a few bags of Red Star milk powder.
I hadn't originally planned to buy White Rabbit candy, but it was mentioned in every historical novel, and Jiang Si was quite curious about the differences between White Rabbit candy from this era and that from later times, so I bought a few less.
Jiang Si browsed for over an hour, until she had used up all her receipts, before finally leaving the department store satisfied.
I checked the time, and it was already past 5 p.m.
Finding a secluded corner, Jiang Si stored everything into her spatial storage. Her final destination was the black market!
The black market in Shanghai has two sessions, one in the early morning and one in the evening, each lasting about two hours.
There's no need to worry about safety; everyone in this line of work has connections above them, and frankly, they've all paid protection money.
They know exactly when to crack down.
Moreover, the person in charge of this area used to work with Uncle San.
Otherwise, Jiang Si wouldn't have dared to risk going to such a place.
There's no need for disguise; the outfit she's wearing now is the most common white shirt and black pants of this era.
Then put the straw hat you just bought on your head, stand in the crowd, and no one will recognize you.
Half an hour later, Jiang Si went to the address.
This black market is quite large; there are no fixed stalls, and you have to find whatever you want yourself.
Jiang Si wandered around inside for a while before finally finding the place selling chicks and ducklings.
The prices are okay. Chicks are 25 cents each, ducklings are a bit more expensive at 50 cents each, and piglets are the most expensive!
These have been raised for over two months, and each one costs around 20 yuan.
When it comes to keeping small animals, either don't keep any, or keep at least two.
Jiang Si bought two of each, and specifically requested that one be male and one female.
There's no need for too much, since the food and vegetables in the space are all fed by the spiritual spring. The chicks, ducks, and piglets will definitely grow faster than outside if they eat them.
Worried that they would wander around the space, Jiang Si also bought a lot of bamboo fences.
I plan to fence off a separate plot of land for them so they can grow freely there.
Further in, there is a river, and two or three people are selling river delicacies there.
You can no longer find the Yangtze River's "Three Delicacies" – knife fish and shad – this season, but there are still quite a few other types available here.
There are more than a dozen varieties of fish, as well as crabs and live shrimp!
Most people who come to the black market are after hard commodities like grains, pork, and eggs; in comparison, aquatic products are not as popular.
Seeing this, Jiang Si immediately bought them all!
When they returned to the space, an hour had passed.
Seeing that the fishpond had been completely dug, Jiang Si quickly put the fish she had just bought into it.
I glanced at the seeds that had been planted and then clicked on "One-Click Watering".
Next, we need to find a suitable place to build the bamboo fence.
Just as Jiang Si was busily transforming the space, on the other side, Lin Yueru's nephew, Lin Baozhu, along with his cronies, finally made their move!
