A local specialty of Chengdu, it tastes absolutely delicious! Keeping it in the space and feeding it with spiritual spring water, you can satisfy your craving for meat anytime you want.
She nodded: "I'll take them both."
The man's face broke into a wide smile.
Then, the man pulled out several small cloth bags from another hidden corner.
"Hey girl, take a look at this one."
Su Tang took it and opened it, and was even more pleasantly surprised!
Inside were some rare dried wild mushrooms, such as morels and porcini.
There were also several kinds of mushrooms that she couldn't name but smelled delicious.
More importantly, there are several kinds of seeds!
There are local specialties such as chili pepper seeds, Sichuan pepper seeds, and some cold-resistant vegetable seeds.
For example, locally grown round radishes, Chinese cabbage, and a few small packets of highland barley seeds.
"These seeds are all saved by the villagers themselves, and they are very good!"
Su Tang was overjoyed. If these seeds were taken to Tibet and grown in her space, they would be a unique delicacy!
She even managed to get a few dried Sichuan lovage rhizome, gastrodia elata, and fritillaria bulbs from the man.
This is a famous local medicinal herb from Southwest China, of excellent quality, much better than the stale and lackluster stuff in the supply and marketing cooperative pharmacies.
She also bought a lot of fabric, mostly thick cotton and polyester.
The colors chosen are dirt-resistant: dark blue, military green, and black.
Su Tang thought to herself, "The Tibetan region is freezing cold, so there must be a shortage of supplies."
Although the black soil in the space is irrigated with spiritual spring water, the things grown there are of exceptionally high quality.
But if too much or too good stuff is brought out at once, the military wives might notice something amiss and gossip when it gets to the military family compound.
So she bought several hundred kilograms of ordinary-looking rice and flour from other stalls using tickets and money.
I plan to bring some local specialties to my neighbors when I visit the military dependents' area in the future.
It can also quickly build rapport without being too conspicuous.
She quietly moved all the things she bought to secluded places in batches, making excuses along the way.
Then, with a thought, he took everything into his space.
Looking at the piles of supplies that had appeared in the space, the open space next to the black soil was almost overflowing.
Su Tang felt incredibly reassured!
This overwhelming sense of security is even more reassuring than carrying tens of thousands of dollars!
Besides the food and other necessities, Su Tang also made an unexpected discovery at a used bookstore.
The stall owner was an old man who wore thick glasses due to nearsightedness.
The stall was piled high with all sorts of old newspapers, comic books, and some old books with worn-out covers.
Su Tang originally intended to find a few books to pass the time on the road.
After all, the journey from Chengdu to Sunshine City is long and bumpy. It would probably take at least ten days to half a month to get there by taking a large Jiefang truck.
Unexpectedly, she found a German edition of "Atlas of Human Anatomy" and an English edition of "Handbook of Battlefield Surgery" in relatively good condition among a pile of dusty books!
This is a treasure!
Although she possessed 22nd-century medical knowledge, these early classic medical texts were not readily available to her.
It is of great reference value for understanding the medical level and limitations of this era.
Moreover, the atlas is drawn with extreme detail, far more comprehensive than any other available materials in China.
Su Tang spent ten yuan to buy out the old man's entire book stall.
The old man thought he had gotten a good deal and happily accepted the money.
Having finished shopping, Su Tang figured it was getting late and it might be unsafe to stay any longer, so she prepared to leave.
Suddenly, she heard a hushed argument coming from a slightly brighter stall not far away, which seemed to be mixed with a few words spoken in a different region.
"...Your price is outrageous! This is a genuine 'dragon crossing the river' from the south! Is this how you treat a beggar?"
"Hey bro, things are really tight right now! This stuff's hot as hell, what a risk I'm taking! This price is way too much!"
"A dragon crossing the river?"
