Chapter 256 Tampons

Tian Li beside him was dumbfounded and said hesitantly: "You really don't want to buy anything!"

Ming Dai added secretly: "And he didn't even give a tip."

Suddenly, Tian Li's face turned red, and she slapped herself in the face thinking about what she had just said.

She went back to the counter awkwardly, opened the glass cabinet, and took out the three cameras.

"Here, take a look."

After that, he added: "You don't have to buy them if you don't want to. They are all quite expensive. It's okay to just take a look."

Ming Dai raised her eyebrows: Are you worried that you will be embarrassed if you pretend to be generous?

This girl is quite interesting.

Mingdai picked up the camera and looked at them carefully. Two were imported and one was domestically produced.

In her previous life, when Ming Dai was playing cosplay, she was also fascinated by photography for some time and had some knowledge of antique cameras. She could tell at a glance that these two imported cameras were eliminated by foreign domestic markets and then exported to China, and she instantly lost interest.

Instead, it was another domestically produced Pearl River camera that was later called the king of domestic SLR cameras in the 1970s, representing China's most advanced camera technology at that time.

It's a pity that it was not reproduced afterwards, and later the Chinese camera market was occupied by cameras exported by Xiao Ri Zi, which is really a pity.

Mingdai tried it directly and found it had a familiar feel.

Tian Li was shocked when she saw it, and was about to stop her, but seeing that she was very skilled in the movements, she held back and said nothing.

Having just lost a bet, she was a little scared of Mingdai. She always felt that Mingdai must have some background since she understood foreigners so well. Maybe she just didn't like to dress up.

Ming Dai tried it and found it very useful. She nodded with satisfaction: "I want this one. How much is it?"

Tian Li then went to look at the camera.

“This one.”

She glanced at Ming Dai again and said, "You have a good eye. This one is the cheapest, 90 foreign dollars plus 20 foreign exchange coupons."

Ming Dai calculated it and found it was about 200 RMB, which was not very expensive for her, but in this era when 200 RMB could buy a house, it was very expensive, not to mention the other two imported cameras.

She opened the cross-body bag she was carrying and was about to take out money when she remembered something and looked at Tian Li.

"Where did you say you would give me a discount?!"

Tian Li smiled awkwardly and touched her nose: "Well, I'll give it to you. Um, how about a 98% discount?"

Ming Dai shook her head: "80% off!"

Tian Li's eyes widened: "80% off?! No! 80% off is too much! The maximum is 9.7%!"

Ming Dai shook her head: "9.7 is not a discount at all, can't you afford the gamble? Are you kidding me?!"

"Who can't afford the bet? Nine point five at most! Forget it!"

"Haha! Nine and a half is not good enough, eight and two is better!"

. . . . . .

Finally, when Tian Li was about to cry, Ming Dai stopped contentedly and bought the camera at a 10% discount.

Tian Li took the 20 foreign exchange notes and 81 yuan in foreign currency from Mingdai with a dejected look. After counting them, she took out 9 yuan in foreign currency from her own purse and put them in with great remorse.

Mingdai held the camera and smiled happily, but suddenly she remembered that she still needed to buy some film.

"Give me another roll of film."

"One box?"

Ming Dai smiled and nodded: "Yes, one box!"

Tian Li was a little jealous, she didn't even dare to buy by the box.

Maybe because it was sold to foreign guests, this camera also comes with an additional camera bag made of cowhide, which is not only beautiful but also very practical.

Ming Dai put away the camera and film with satisfaction, and looked at the depressed Tian Li: "Comrade, I want to buy sanitary napkins, please take me to see it."

As soon as she said this, Tian Li blushed and glared at her: "Keep your voice down! There are gays here!"

Ming Dai was speechless: "Is there?!"

Tian Li nodded, blushing as she took her to the back area.

She found what she wanted to buy in the most remote location.

Mingdai took a look and frowned. Not only did the sanitary napkin have no wings, it was also very long and thick, which was very inconvenient.

The lady selling sanitary napkins saw her disdain, thought for a moment, and then took out a small box: "Comrade, take a look at this."

Mingdai took it and found it was a tampon. She didn't expect that tampons were available in the country at this time.

This one is OK, at least it's much more comfortable than a sanitary napkin.

"I want this, how much is it?"

The eldest sister was delighted when she heard this. This was a new thing and no one had ever used it before, except for a foreign woman who came to buy it last week. No one had bought it since then. There was a large box left in the warehouse, and she was getting anxious because she saw that she couldn't sell it.

"This is NT$1.50 per box, and there are 10 in a box. You don't need to pay for the foreign exchange bills."

Ming Dai raised her eyebrows: "No foreign exchange bills? Then I want a hundred boxes."

"How many?!"

"What?!"

Tian Li and her elder sister at the counter were startled, and Ming Dai blinked.

"One hundred boxes, do you have any?"

The eldest sister was very excited: "Yes, yes, yes, comrade, wait a minute, I'll get it!"

After saying that, he went to the warehouse at the back.

While Mingdai was waiting, she looked at other things and found some women's underwear. Just when she was about to ask Tian Li to take it down for her to have a look, she saw Tian Li looking at her shyly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ming Dai stepped back cautiously. What's wrong with this girl? !

Tian Li approached her quietly, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Um, do you know how to use it?"

Mingdai looked at the box on the counter and understood.

"I know, but why would I buy it?"

Tian Li looked around to make sure no gay men were around: "Well, don't you think this is weird?!"

After saying this, she immediately covered her face, feeling extremely embarrassed.

When this thing first came out, the female comrades studied it and were shocked after they knew how to use it!

Is this still possible?!

Because it was too weird, no one dared to try it. Even the older sister who was watching this counter and always liked to "try out" new products didn't use it.

No Chinese had ever bought it before, Mingdai was the first.

While she was shocked, she was also really curious about how she knew this and what it felt like to try it.

Ming Dai understands that many people, not to mention people today, even in the future, will not be able to accept tampons.

She smiled and explained: "I studied medicine, so I know this.

You don't need to be shy. Tampons, like sanitary napkins, are normal women's products. They were invented by doctors to allow women to move freely during their menstrual period, with the aim of improving the quality of life of lesbians.

Moreover, this is more comfortable to use than sanitary napkins, it won’t be stuffy or damp, you can try it.”

Although Tian Li's cheeks still blushed, Mingdai's serious science popularization still encouraged her.

"Well, then using this won't hurt... what is that?"

Ming Dai understood immediately: "No, this is very healthy. As long as it is done properly, it will not have any effect."

Tian Li looked at the tampon and her eyes sparkled.

"Are you a doctor? You look very young."

Ming Dai nodded: "Barefoot doctors are also doctors, I am a family doctor."

Tian Li nodded: "Is that so? How good are you at medicine? What are you good at?"

Ming Dai looked at her questioning carefully and knew that she might have something to hide, so she wanted to ask her.

"I'm a general practitioner, but I know more about women's issues."

Sure enough, Tian Li's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by the sound of footsteps.

The saleswoman came running over excitedly, holding a big box.

She could only shut up and watch Mingdai's eyes change.

"I'm so tired! Comrade, all the stuff is here, 100 boxes, and I'm giving you two extra boxes!"

Ming Dai looked at the big box which was full of things and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, please help me pack it up."

The elder sister nodded happily and helped to tie it up carefully: "Don't worry, little comrade, if it's tied up tightly, outsiders will not be able to tell what it is!"

Mingdai nodded, but she felt a little sad. How could she carry it away?

Tian Li at the side said, "Well, how about you wait a moment? I'm going to get off work soon. I have a bicycle and I can take you there. Where do you live?"

Mingdai was willing to help and told the address. The two families lived not far from each other, so it was convenient for them to go there.

After depositing her things, Mingdai looked at the underwear on the shelf again.

I looked at several and none of them were suitable. They were mostly suitable for foreigners with large frames, but not very suitable for someone with a small frame like Mingdai.

It's just a matter of time.
