"Ding, check-in location detected, do you want to check in?"
"Sign in."
We arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, and as expected, this kind of place is a typical sign-in location.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the commune is a bungalow, which cannot be compared with the three-story buildings in Taipei City, but the layout inside is similar, and the variety of goods is also very complete. Although small, it has everything.
Xu Manman sorted out the bills last night and took out those that had expired within the past month, most of which were given by her family.
I have to go to work next and don’t know when I can come to the commune again, so I might as well use up some time first.
As long as you don't take out the signed in ticket, it will not expire. The system says that the effective time starts from the day it is taken out. You can put these on hold and take them out in advance when you need them.
Take out all the sorted tickets, mainly some daily necessities tickets, sugar tickets and cloth tickets.
I bought a big bamboo basket first. When I saw it, I remembered that I needed a place to put the things I bought. There should be someone in the village who can make it. I will go back to the village and buy some baskets and the like. I will write it down first.
Then I bought an enamel basin, sugar, various seasonings, egg cakes, peach cakes, glutinous rice sticks, and White Rabbit milk candy. I originally planned to buy meat, but then I thought I couldn’t eat alone, so I just shared it. It would make me stand out too much, so I decided not to make special arrangements and wait until the house was ready.
When I went to the cloth window, I saw Aunt Yuxiang's daughter-in-law. She must have just finished her confinement and came back to work. She was still a little swollen.
Liu Hua stepped forward and greeted her with a smile, "You must be Sister Li Mei."
Li Mei looked at her in confusion, "I'm Li Mei, who are you?"
"We are educated youth who went to the countryside from Hongsheng Village. My name is Liu Hua. I came here this morning with Aunt Yuxiang on a ox cart. She said you were selling cloth at the window of the supply and marketing cooperative. I thought we just needed it, so I came directly here. I have to trouble Sister Li Mei today." Liu Hua smiled sweetly.
Li Mei suddenly understood and nodded, "Oh, hello, take a look at what fabrics you need, I'll take them down for you to see."
Xu Manman brought several feet of cloth of different colors, but there were not many colors. She also bought some extra cloth. Seeing Xu Manman buy so much, others also bought some.
Seeing Xu Manman's generosity, Li Mei leaned close to her and whispered, "We still have some defective cloth and some scraps here. Would you like to take a look?"
"Okay, okay," Xu Manman nodded and replied excitedly.
Some of the prints are crooked, and some are stained with oil. They are not large areas, so you can just cut them. The key is that you don’t need cloth coupons. Cloth is still rare in this era. If you have space, you can stock up some and it won’t go bad.
Xu Manman couldn't help but buy a lot of things. Half of the big backpack was filled with cloth. She also bought a bag of small scraps of cloth, and other needles and thread were also collected here.
The supply and marketing cooperative spent a total of 30.6 yuan
Everyone gained a lot, and Li Mei saw everyone off with a smile.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, it was not yet 10 o'clock, so everyone decided to go shopping first. Xu Manman led everyone straight to the scrap collection station. Such a classic check-in spot, how could you not come here? Even if you can't find a bargain, you might get something good by signing in.
Sure enough, "Ding! Check-in location detected, are you signed in?"
"Sign in."
An old man sat at the door of the scrap collection station. "What do you do?"
"Uncle, we want to find some old newspapers to paste on the wall, and see if there is anything else that can be used." No one else had any experience, so it was Xu Manman who came up with it.
The old man glanced at the young people impatiently and said, "Don't stay too long. Once you've made your selection, bring it to be weighed."
"Okay, thank you, sir!"
Xu Manman couldn't wait to enter the yard. It was very spacious, with many earthenware jars and porcelains, as well as some old furniture with broken edges placed in the open air. The three rooms of the main house were all open, and everything that could not be exposed to the rain was placed inside the rooms.
There were still a few people picking out items in the yard, and everyone dispersed to look for things they needed. Xu Manman went into the room where books and newspapers were kept first, intending to go shopping on Taobao, but she didn't know how to do it at all.
"Xiao Jin, can you appraise treasures?" Although Xu Manman knew it was impossible, she still asked the system.
"Host, why not take a look at the sign-in rewards just now."
