After washing her face, she felt much better. Xu Manman asked Liu Hua, "It's still early. Should we go back and rest, or go out for a walk?"
"Let's go shopping. It's not easy for us to come to Taipei City. We don't know when we'll be able to come again. Let's call Zhang Yuan to join us later."
"good."
After rubbing myself from head to toe and changing into clean clothes, I felt like I was revived. I washed the dirty clothes with soap and rinsed them with water, then hung them up in the backyard of the guesthouse. It was hot now, so they would dry in one night.
I went back to the room and asked the other three girls if they wanted to join me. They all politely declined. After all, we were not familiar with each other, so I didn't force them.
Liu Hua went to knock on the door diagonally opposite. Zhang Yuan and three people from the train opposite lived in the same room. She didn't know the remaining two people. When she opened the door, they were all lying on the kang. It was really a group of men. Xu Manman didn't dare to look at them for too long.
Liu Hua asked Zhang Yuan, and when he went out, Zhan Tianqi, Li Xiao and Yue Feng also came out together.
"It's boring to just lie in the room. Let's go out and relax."
This is Yue Feng, a dark and strong man with a mouthful of big white teeth, grinning in a simple and honest way.
"Do you guys want to buy anything? I just asked the lady at the front desk. The supply and marketing cooperative is only about a kilometer away, and the state-owned restaurant is also nearby."
Before leaving, Liu Hua chatted with the lady at the front desk of the guesthouse. Xu Manman sponsored three White Rabbit milk candies, and it was easy for her to get the lady's enthusiastic guidance. In fact, Xu Manman could have found out by opening the map, but she had no way to explain to others how she knew so much since it was her first time in Taipei City. She simply asked the social expert Liu Hua to ask.
"Then let's go take a look first. After that, we can go to the state-owned restaurant to have something to eat."
The male comrades had no objections, so the group went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
After walking for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. Today was not the weekend, so there were not many people there.
"Ding! Check-in location detected. Do you want to sign in?"
“Sign in!”
This was the first time Xu Manman actually saw the supply and marketing cooperative described in the period literature. It was indeed a supply and marketing cooperative in the city, a three-story building.
The layout inside is very similar to the small shop at the entrance of my rural hometown in my previous life, but it is much larger and spacious inside. It is divided into different areas according to the types of goods sold. Each area has a glass cabinet in the front and a row of wooden shelves in the back, displaying various goods.
The first floor mainly sells daily necessities and non-staple foods, the second floor is the boutique and fabric area, and the third floor sells electrical appliances and bicycles.
?
Are all the big items upstairs? Wouldn't it be tiring to carry them?
Xu Manman was still very much looking forward to the supply and marketing cooperative. While everyone was walking around, she opened the system backpack and took a look. Sure enough, she had a great harvest: a large pile of bills, a military kettle and two thermos bottles, a large iron pot, a kitchen knife, and even the legendary "three turns and one ring".
They are all practical and good things. Plus the gift pack for educated youth that I signed for on the train before, I feel like I have everything. However, I have to find a chance to take the things out before I can use them in front of others. I'll figure it out after I settle down.
I walked around the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a few pounds of red sausage and some snacks at the non-staple food window. I had never eaten them before, and since it was a rare opportunity, I decided to try something new. In total, I spent 8 yuan and 4 non-staple food tickets.
The others also bought some daily necessities, but Zhan Tianqi bought food just like Xu Manman.
After buying things, according to the instructions of the lady at the front desk, we walked 100 meters to the left of the supply and marketing cooperative and found the state-owned restaurant. It was dinner time and there were already many people queuing up. Several people rushed over and lined up at the back of the line.
They had some dry food on the train, as they had been hungry all day. Now, when they smelled the fragrance coming out of the train, they all felt like they could swallow a cow.
Finally it was her turn, and Xu Manman couldn't wait to order the menu she had prepared long ago.
"Red-braised pork, pickled cabbage and vermicelli stewed meat, and 8 steamed buns."
While Xu Manman was waiting in line, she had studied the menu and prepared the food coupons and money in advance, a total of one yuan and forty cents, plus one pound of food coupons. After placing the order, she handed it directly to the salesperson. Probably thinking that there were several people eating there, the salesperson didn't say much. After placing the order and confirming that the money and coupons were correct, she directly issued a receipt and let Xu Manman go to the window to get the dishes herself.
After the dishes were served, a table happened to be vacant. Xu Manman quickly ran over and took it, and Liu Hua, Zhang Yuan and others followed.
The restaurant was bustling, like a vegetable market. At the moment, no one was in the mood to chat. Instead, they put the food in order, then lowered their heads and started to devour it without hesitation.
