Early the next morning, Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo went to the county town.
Although the weather was cold, Li Jinfeng drove the tractor for convenience.
Before leaving, I went to the production team to ask if anyone wanted a ride.
There are quite a few questions about this.
Most of them go there to buy New Year’s goods.
Although it is only the beginning of the twelfth lunar month and there is still nearly a month to go before the Chinese New Year, New Year's goods are cheap at this time.
By the end of the year, something that usually costs one cent will cost three or five cents during the New Year.
Buying New Year’s goods at this time means saving money.
Saving money is equivalent to making money. Unless you have a fortune at home, everyone will try all kinds of ways to save money.
After the car arrived at the county town, we agreed to meet at the county town gate before lunch.
After everyone in the car remembered it, Li Jinfeng drove the tractor to the county agricultural technology station.
Then walk from the Agricultural Technology Station to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the Department Store.
As the New Year approaches, there are a lot more people in the supply and marketing cooperative than usual. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people.
Probably in preparation for the Chinese New Year, a notice board written on red paper was placed at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
It clearly states what will be served and at what time.
For example: At 8:30 in the morning, the pork stall serves two pigs.
At 9:30 in the morning, thermoses of water are provided.
Toilet paper is available at 10:30 am.
…
Each one is written clearly.
Li Jinfeng took a quick look and found that it would take a long time to get all the New Year's goods.
With this supply method, it will take more than one or two days to complete.
Fortunately, she still had some things she had bought before in her space. She could buy as much as she could this time, and take the things she couldn't buy from her space.
Anyway, she has the money and tickets now. At worst, she can wait a few days and then go to the city or the provincial capital to make up for the missing things in the space.
After waiting for a whole morning, Li Jinfeng grabbed a thermos.
Two cans of malted milk, two cans of food, three taels of meat, and a pork bone.
Two towels and half a pound of toilet paper.
The toilet paper at that time was not roll paper, but sheets, which were very rough and yellow in color. It felt uncomfortable to use.
But there are even more backward people in the countryside. Some cannot afford toilet paper, and there are no industrial rolls or toilet paper rolls, so they use bamboo blocks they split themselves. This shows how difficult the conditions are.
Most of the time, Li Jinfeng secretly used the toilet paper in the space, but she only dared to use it herself and did not dare to take it out.
After all, the paper was too white and could be easily seen through.
Perhaps because they didn't buy much, and according to their previous plan, they couldn't give so many gifts to their friends, Lu Jianguo simply said to Li Jinfeng, "How about... when I get back, I can ask my friends to buy some good things and send them to you?"
"No need. No matter how good these things are, they are not what everyone needs most. What everyone really needs is food. And I can find a way to get some food, so you don't need to spend so much energy buying things they don't particularly need!" Li Jinfeng said.
When buying things from the provincial capital, you still need to ask someone for help to buy things for so many people. After all, these days, there are purchase restrictions everywhere and the supply is insufficient.
In addition to the mailing, not only was it laborious and tiring, but she also owed someone a favor. Li Jinfeng didn't want Lu Jianguo to be busy all the time.
Of course, the most important thing is that everyone is living a relatively good life right now.
Except for Li Desan who could not go out to work, everyone else had their own channels for obtaining food.
Even Grandma Zhang and Xiaobao are like this.
It’s not time to go hungry yet.
