These items are common, but they are also in high demand.
Then she went to the grain store.
"Comrade, I'd like to buy rice."
"What kind of rice do you want? We have japonica rice and glutinous rice, both require grain coupons."
Su Tang bought fifty catties of japonica rice, twenty catties of glutinous rice, and some other grains, such as cornmeal and sorghum.
She also bought a lot of condiments such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar.
Sugar, in particular, is a precious commodity, so she bought several extra pounds of white sugar and brown sugar.
Wheat flour, rice, corn flour, sorghum flour—Su Tang would buy anything as long as she had the ration coupons!
Pork, beef, chicken, eggs—buy them if you see them!
Canned goods, all kinds of canned fruit and canned meat, the shelves are empty!
White sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar—buy them by the bag!
There are also various daily necessities, such as soap, face wash, clam oil, tooth powder, towels, enamel basins, thermos flasks...
Su Tang was like a busy little bee, shuttling between various stores. Wherever she went, she bought everything that caught her eye and was rare in this era.
The journey to Tibet is long, so it's best to prepare enough supplies.
The bag was quickly filled, so she found a secluded corner, put the items into her storage space, and then continued with the next round of shopping.
If Su Tang couldn't buy something from the state-run stores, or if she didn't have enough ration coupons, she would turn to the black market.
The black market is a mixed bag, but it also has a lot of good stuff.
With a few pieces of silver and some industrial coupons, she successfully traded them for a slightly worn 28-inch bicycle. Although it wasn't new, it was still stable to ride.
With bicycles, short-distance travel becomes much more convenient.
She also specifically searched for a lot of seeds.
Cabbage seeds, radish seeds, cucumber seeds, tomato seeds, eggplant seeds, chili seeds, green pepper seeds, potato seeds, sweet potato vines, corn seeds, wheat seeds, rice seeds, soybean seeds, mung bean seeds, cowpea seeds, spinach seeds, leek seeds, onion seeds, ginger seeds, garlic cloves, and even a few packets of watermelon seeds and strawberry seeds.
I bought over a hundred different kinds, all of which are useful for the black soil in the space.
Su Tang is like a tireless purchasing machine. As long as she thinks she will need it in the future, she will buy it without hesitation.
Anyway, there's plenty of space, so I'm not worried about not having enough room to put it.
After a round of shopping, Su Tang spent a lot of money and tickets, but also gained a lot.
Inside the space, daily necessities were piled up like a mountain, which made her feel much more at ease.
Su Tang sighed contentedly. Having food makes one feel less anxious!
When she got home, Jiang Sushuang was still not back. Jiang Xinyue had been drugged and put to sleep before she left.
Su Tang locked the door and slipped into the space.
She first went to the spring and drank some of its water to dispel the day's fatigue.
Then I went to the kitchen of the cabin and picked out some fresh vegetables and a piece of pork belly from the supplies I had just bought.
She cooked a pot of fragrant rice with the newly bought japonica rice and stir-fried three side dishes.
"One-click cooking: braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and garlic greens."
The braised pork belly is a bright red color, rich but not greasy; the scrambled eggs with tomatoes are a beautiful mix of yolk and white, with a sweet and sour flavor; the garlic-flavored greens are bright green, crisp and refreshing.
A few seconds later, the delicious-smelling food appeared on the table.
Although simple, it was a rare delicacy in an era of scarcity.
Su Tang enjoyed a delicious and satisfying meal.
After eating and drinking her fill, she took out the cocoa beans and sugar she had bought earlier from her storage space and activated another function in the kitchen, making quite a few chocolate bars.
In her previous life, Su Tang always carried chocolates in her pockets when carrying out missions.
This is a great thing for her to quickly replenish her energy and calm her mind during tense moments.
She neatly arranged the finished chocolates in a clean box.
After finishing all that, she went to take a look at the black soil area.
Su Tang cultivated several more plots of land and planted the various vegetable seeds and grain crops she had just bought, categorizing them accordingly.
With the water from the sacred spring, I believe we will soon reap the rewards.
After doing all this, Su Tang stood in front of the cabin, looking at the well-organized space, feeling a sense of peace.
"It's time to go and check out the house in Su Dongcheng that my father mentioned in his letter."
"If I'm not mistaken, Lin Sushuang is right there."
