Along the way, Jiang Yan looked at the scenery along the way curiously and chatted with everyone from time to time. The atmosphere was very relaxed.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the car stopped in front of Shanglin Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Jiang Manfu stayed to look after the car, while Lu Yunsheng took Jiang Yan into the supply and marketing cooperative.
Fortunately, today is not Sunday, and although there are many people in the supply and marketing cooperative, there are no long queues.
Walking to the counter, Jiang Yan started her crazy shopping mode.
First, daily necessities.
Pots, pans, kitchen knives and chopping boards, bamboo brushes for hot pot, chopsticks and spoons, large steamers for steaming buns, pot lids, etc. Some of them were planned in advance, and some were thought of at the last minute.
I bought hundreds of items here and there.
Next are various daily chemical products.
There were mirrors, kettles, thermoses, washbasins, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap, towels, needles and thread, new quilt covers, pillowcases, and so on.
Then came the most important things, including various seasonings, rice, flour, grain and oil. Thinking that there was nothing at home, Jiang Yan bought some of each, and finally the farm tools.
It didn't look like the various items were expensive, but in total I spent more than one hundred dollars, almost two hundred dollars.
Spend money like water!
More than an hour later, Jiang Yan and Lu Yunsheng came out of the supply and marketing cooperative and took the young soldier to have a meal at a state-owned restaurant. Jiang Yan ordered all meat dishes.
"Sister-in-law, isn't this too expensive? I'll just eat three steamed buns."
Looking at the meat dishes on the table, Jiang Manfu swallowed his saliva. Supplies were in short supply now, and even the troops had only bland food, with only a few meals of meat a month.
Jiang Yan took the braised pork from the waiter and put it on the table. She said, "You guys have to do physical work this afternoon, so you have to eat well. Besides, the battalion commander asked you to work for nothing, so you have to eat well. There aren't many opportunities to make money from your battalion commander, so eat as much as you can."
Lu Yunsheng smiled and shook his head. His wife's words were really convoluted. He looked at Jiang Manfu and said, "Eat with peace of mind. Your sister-in-law is the boss at home now."
Jiang Yan ordered quite a few dishes.
A serving of braised pork, a serving of crispy pork, a serving of stir-fried shredded potatoes, a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a serving of white rice.
Lu Yunsheng picked up a piece of braised pork, which was full of oil, while Jiang Yan picked up a piece of crispy meat, which tasted really good.
Seeing that both of them had started eating, Jiang Manfu also picked up a piece of braised pork. When he took a bite, his mouth was filled with the aroma of fat, and he was extremely happy.
"Oh my god, this smells so good."
Jiang Manfu was very excited. He joined the army because his family was poor and he couldn't survive. Although the army didn't make much money, at least he had food to eat and could survive.
Seeing that he had joined the army at the age of fifteen or sixteen, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel distressed, "Then eat more. It's not easy to come here."
"Well, thank you, sister-in-law."
After spending time together, Jiang Manfu also discovered that their battalion commander's wife was very easy to get along with, very generous and polite. He really envied the battalion commander!
