Hearing Yun Mo's words, the driver chuckled and said, "Girl, if it was two years ago, you really couldn't buy anything without a ticket. Now it has been changed and the control is not as strict as before. If you go to the vegetable market and talk to the vegetable vendors, they will find a way for you."
"I understand, Master, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After chatting with the driver for a while, we arrived at the entrance of Dafeng Department Store.
After paying and getting off the car, Yun Mo stared at the door of the department store for a long time, unable to recover.
If it weren't for the four big words "Dafeng Department Store" written in red on a white background above the main entrance, Yun Mo would have been unable to connect the shabby storefront in front of her with the luxurious shopping mall of later generations.
Maybe it was because of the promotion, there were a lot of customers, coming in an endless stream, and the noise was as noisy as in a vegetable market.
Yun Mo didn't want to squeeze with the crowd, so she looked around and noticed a clothing store diagonally opposite, so she turned around and went there decisively.
There were quite a few clothes in the clothing store, but they were either old-fashioned in style or flashy in color. Yun Mo picked for a long time but couldn't find anything she liked, so she just randomly pointed to a printed dress.
"How much is this?"
"If you really want to buy it, I'll give you this amount."
The boss made an eight gesture and said, "I usually sell it for 10 yuan. Girl, you are pretty and have a good figure. You will look good in this skirt."
"I don't have a cloth coupon, can I use money?"
The lady boss looked embarrassed and said, "It's OK, but the price will be higher."
"I'll give you 10 bucks."
"Okay! I'll wrap it up for you right away!"
Seeing the proprietress grinning from ear to ear, Yun Mo seriously suspected that her price was too high.
After paying, Yun Mo took the opportunity to ask the proprietress, "Sister, is there any water heater for sale around here?"
"A water heater? What is that?"
Yun Mo went to several small shops and bought a lot of things, but no one knew what a water heater was. It was not until she explained that it was used for bathing that someone told her that she could go to the bathhouse to take a bath.
This gave Yun Mo some inspiration. Although she couldn't buy a water heater, she could build a boiler for private use by imitating a bathhouse.
After purchasing her necessities, Yun Mo put all her things into a space in a deserted place, then took a taxi back to the old street with the vegetables.
It was hot at noon, so Li Li took her son Ling Jiale to the main room to cool off, while Ling Chunhua sat on a small stool picking vegetable leaves.
Seeing Yun Mo coming back, Li Li asked loudly, "Have you bought the vegetables?"
“I bought it.”
Yun Mo put the dish in her hand on the table.
Li Li stood up and took a look. When she found a piece of meat, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"You bought a good deal. The cabbage looks fresh and juicy. It's so hot, go take a rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"good."
After looking at Ling Jiale who was sitting on the mat eating candy, Yun Mo turned around, took out two pieces of candy from her handbag and handed them to Ling Chunhua.
"Chunhua, here you go."
White Rabbit Milk Candy! Ling Chunhua opened her eyes slightly, her little face full of surprise and disbelief.
She had seen Niu Niu across from her eat it before. After she finished eating, she had a fragrant, rich, sweet taste in her mouth when she talked.
Ling Chunhua had just received the candy when Li Li took it away and put it in her pocket before she could even warm it up. "Why would a girl eat candy? You're not afraid of rotting your teeth. Hurry up and pick the vegetables."
Ling Chunhua lowered her head in disappointment and continued to pick vegetables.
Yun Mo glanced at Li Li, said nothing, and turned back to her room.
After closing the door, Yun Mo picked up the ceramic bowl on the wooden table, took some spiritual spring water from the space and drank it. She then felt a lot more comfortable.
After resting for a while, Yun Mo placed the mirror, comb, face wash, vanishing cream and other things she had bought on the windowsill.
She actually has some high-end skin care products from the 21st century in her space, but those things cannot be shown to others, so she bought these as decoration.
Lunch was brown rice with two dishes, one was leftovers from the morning, and the other was stir-fried sweet potato leaf tips.
Yun Mo barely ate half a bowl of brown rice with the tips of sweet potato leaves.
After waking up from a nap in the afternoon, Yun Mo found Li Li to discuss installing a boiler at home.
"Sister-in-law, I have no objection to you installing a boiler, but I can't afford it. You don't know that your eldest brother only earns 20 or 30 yuan a month outside. He has to support me, Jiale and my mother, and our life is very tight."
Yun Mo didn't actually want Li Li to pay, but Li Li's pettiness really made Yun Mo feel unhappy.

"Sister-in-law, let me think about it again. Building a boiler will cost a lot, and I don't have much spare money."
Li Li replied with a half-smile, "Okay, I'm used to not using a boiler anyway, I'm not as delicate as you."
Yun Mo returned to her room in a sullen mood.
She didn't eat much at noon and was a little hungry now.
Yun Mo locked the door, then took out some biscuits and books from the space, and lay on the bed reading to pass the time.
When the sun was about to set in the evening, Yun Mo packed up and went out to find a bathhouse to take a bath.
There are quite a lot of bathhouses in this area of the old street. There are two in the alley where Yunmo lives, but the environment and facilities are very simple.
It was a wet and shiny bathroom with four or five faucets standing above the head without any shelter from each other. There were also seven or eight plum blossom holes on the walls on both sides to drain the water vapor.
The wall itself was not high. A tall man like Lingchuan could peek inside through the plum blossom hole by standing on a stool.
Yun Mo took a shower in the bathhouse almost with trepidation, and at the same time she became determined to build her own bathroom.
When I got home, Ling Chunhua had already prepared dinner.
The staple food was noodles, and the dishes were the same as for lunch. The cabbage, ground pork and pork she bought were not fried, and the noodles were black. No one knew what they were made of. They tasted like beans.
Yun Mo couldn't eat anymore after taking one bite and put down her chopsticks in frustration.
Seeing her like this, Li Li joked, "Hey, what's going on?"
"I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
Li Li said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law, our family is in such a condition. This is still good. At least we can have a hot dinner. Many of our neighbors don't cook at night. They just eat cold steamed buns with boiled water. Some even don't eat at night and only eat two meals a day."
Yun Mo couldn't help but ask the question in her heart, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you cook the meat and vegetables I bought for lunch? It's so hot, wouldn't it be a pity to let them go bad?"
"Don't worry, it won't go bad. I'll go out and find some ice to freeze the meat. My family will be over in a couple of days, so we can fry it and eat it together then."
Hearing this, Yun Mo didn't say anything else. She waited until Li Li finished her meal before calling her to stop.
"Sister-in-law, I bought pork for 2 yuan, potatoes for 0.8 yuan, and cabbage for 0.7 yuan at noon today. The total is 3.5 yuan. Do you think it's you who should keep the account or should I do it myself?"
Li Li's eyes widened at once. "Sister-in-law, are you kidding me? The price of meat today is 1 yuan, and the piece you bought is at most one catty. How did you calculate it to 2 yuan? And potatoes and cabbage are sold outside for 1.5 cents a catty. You bought more than 5 catties in total, so why is it 1.5 yuan? Although I am not as well-educated as you, I still know how to do the math."
