Chapter 402 You're Not Allowed to Buy Anymore
The sales clerk no longer dared to show any "disdain" towards Cen Yan as she had before. Such a large purchase of New Year's goods must mean her family has many employees!
The young and old people are all key members of their work units; otherwise, what kind of family background would allow Cen Yan to squander money like this?
"Do you want anything else?" The sales clerk was busy weighing the candies, and the shelves were piled high with goods.
She's barely started shopping! She's only bought a few daily necessities and snacks for the New Year. Her New Year's shopping progress is at most five percent.
“I have a few remittance coupons here. Do you have any imported chocolate, milk powder, canned luncheon meat, chrysanthemum extract, malted milk extract, or anything like that?” Cen Yan pulled out a few remittance coupons.
The sales clerk was stunned. If she could even get her hands on remittance certificates, Cen Yan's identity must be extraordinary! She quickly shook her head, "No, no, those rare foods are only available at the department store in Lancheng."
"Oh, I see. Then the fruit must be sold out too. Give me some roasted nuts and seeds, ten catties of peanuts and ten catties of melon seeds. The images of workers, peasants and soldiers on these Spring Festival couplets are quite nice. Give me five pairs."
There are five doors in total: my own house, my maternal grandparents' house, and Leng Feng's residence. That's just enough to put up five couplets.
As for luncheon meat, chocolate, malted milk powder, and the like, she can still get them from her space. As for the excuse, she has a ready-made one: she can just say that Sister Song brought them along when she came over before.
Cen Yan's extravagant spending stunned Su Xianhua, as did the people queuing behind her. However, some people knew her identity and did not question the source of her money.
This is a capitalist's daughter, the head of the regiment's wife, a proper doctor at the health center, the old lady next to her is an academician, and the whole room is full of staff, each of whom earns at least fifty or sixty yuan a month.
It's normal to buy more things during the Chinese New Year, but they weren't jealous because they knew that Cen Yan deserved all of this.
Those who didn't recognize Cen Yan were furious!
"Even if you have many employees at home, you can't be so extravagant and bully people like this. Comrade, we're all here to buy New Year's goods. If you buy everything, what are we supposed to buy?"
"Yeah! Can your family use all this stuff? Don't waste it."
Just as Cen Yan was still not satisfied and racking her brains to think of what else to buy, some comrades dressed as farmers behind her got angry.
Su Xianhua knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly smiled and said, "Yanyan, we can't carry all these things together. Let's buy this much for now, and we can see what we need when we get back. We can come back tomorrow."
Cen Yan glanced at the furious crowd. "Alright, comrade, let's just buy these for now. How much is it in total?"
The sales clerk quickly calculated the bill for Cen Yan: "Comrade, the total is one hundred and seventy-six yuan, plus eighty-nine industrial coupons, sixteen sugar coupons, five jin of pastry coupons, seven non-staple food coupons, and nineteen knitwear coupons..."
"Okay, count it and see if it's enough." Cen Yan handed over the money, sighing as she remarked, "The 1970s were so good, prices were so cheap!"
With so little money and so few tickets, she managed to buy so many things. However, this was only because she had a spatial ability, the inheritance left by her ancestors, and Qi Jingchuan, who was a "human ticket printing machine." Otherwise, even with money, without the tickets that Qi Jingchuan bought from his comrades, she wouldn't have been able to buy much.
Her shopping habits were something ordinary people couldn't replicate, so Cen Yan was only happy for a short while before showing signs of pain, and even whispered to Su Xianhua, "It's so expensive..."
Fortunately, this allows many people to hear it.
Knowing that Cen Yan also felt the items were expensive and that they had spent a lot made them feel a little better.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Cen Yan pushed her bicycle, which was laden with New Year's goods, and went with Su Xianhua to the state-run grain store and the state-run butcher shop.
