Chapter 12 Going to the Provincial Capital



Xu Xiangyang watched his father leave, then said to Wang Xiumin, "Mom, I want to go to the city today and get familiar with the environment."

He had wanted to go to the city early in the morning, but his headache hadn't healed and his family was unstable, so he kept putting it off.

Wang Xiumin was not worried because the original owner often went to the city, so she didn't care about him.

"Come back early in the evening." After saying that, she left.

Xu Xiangyang: ???

Why come back early in the evening? He just wanted to go take a look, not go shopping.

Besides, where can I eat dinner when I get home late?

Hey? Eat?

Xu Xiangyang was happy. He had been wanting to have a good meal for a long time. Didn’t this give him a chance?

Then go early!

He put on his clothes and walked towards the county town. The one-hour journey was quite torturous for him.

After all, the cars and other means of transportation in later generations are much faster than walking.

It would naturally be torturous to go back to this way of traveling now.

After finally arriving at the county town, Xu Xiangyang found a place to sit for a while.

I had originally wanted to come and take a look, but when I saw the streets were the same as the original owner's memory, I couldn't help but feel disappointed.

From time to time, people on bicycles pass by on the old streets, and passers-by look at them with envy.

Bicycles were not yet popular at that time, and although there weren't many of them, I saw quite a few people riding them along the way.

The house has only two floors at most and is a supply and marketing building.

Maybe the villages in the future will be better than the county towns at this time, right?

Xu Xiangyang had seen enough, so he stood up and walked around aimlessly, covering himself with his cotton jacket.

He hasn't had time to look into that space these days, but he knows that there are a lot of things in it.

This time he came here to find a place to exchange some money, so that he wouldn't go out without a penny in his pocket, which would be too embarrassing.

After wandering around for a long time, Xu Xiangyang still couldn't find the black market. It seems that this thing is not something that ordinary people can find?

He had also read the original owner's memories before, and there was no information about the black market or its location.

After all, the original owner had no extra money, let alone extra food, so even if he knew the location of the black market, there was no need for him to remember it.

Why go there? I might as well go to the Supply and Marketing Building. I have no money anyway, so I can't buy anything.

The sky was overcast today and there was no sunshine. He found a deserted place and entered the space directly.

It was still foggy inside, and it looked like there was no one there.

He randomly opened a container, which was filled with boxes of stuff. However, it was labeled Haicheng Garment Factory, so it seemed like it contained clothes.

He doesn't need it at this time, so he doesn't need to look at it yet.

Turning to look at another container, there were boxes of frozen pork.

This stuff is pretty good. There are ribs, spine, pork belly, pig's feet and elbows written on the various boxes.

It's just frozen, not fresh. It's okay to sell it, but he has no intention of eating it.

There was a container next to it. When Xu Xiangyang opened it, he was stunned.

Inside were piles of fresh beef, all gutted, with the entrails in the box below.

The beef is very fresh, just looks good.

Except for not being torn into pieces, the skin was all peeled off.

He took a look and then replaced the container. This was a refrigerated container, and it would be bad if the cold air ran out.

We searched two containers and found fresh pork, chickens, ducks, geese and everything else.

After he went around in a circle, he almost laughed himself to death.

Although the area of ​​this logistics port is not large, the things inside can’t be used up in several lifetimes.

Xu Xiangyang was not very happy. He went to the cafeteria to take a look and found that the food on the table was still steaming!

It seems that this space is just as I imagined, it can keep things fresh!

He simply took a set of tableware, put various dishes on it, and sat at the table next to him to eat.

"It smells so good!" He drank some mineral water, then sat on the chair and smacked his lips.

These things will be eaten up sooner or later, so we have to eat them sparingly in the future.

The cafeteria can accommodate hundreds of people, so a lot of food is prepared.

Although it is a big pot meal, it is much more delicious than this coarse grain.

After eating and drinking, Xu Xiangyang walked around and found the container he had just discovered.

Ten pounds of noodles were taken out from inside, each pound was packed into a bundle, and all were wrapped in yellow paper.

This stuff should sell well, but it's a shame I can't find it on the black market.

Xu Xiangyang sat in the space, then stood up and went to find a 32-centimeter-diameter pot. The lid was made of wood and looked quite old.

It is indeed inconvenient to cook without a pot at home. When he starts working, he has to find a way to get this thing back.

It’s no use now. There is no good excuse. After all, the original owner has no connections and no money. How could he take the pot back out of thin air?

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one outside, Xu Xiangyang left the space, tightly wrapped himself in his tattered cotton jacket, and staggered away.

I did see a lot of branded or cheap down jackets and cotton-padded jackets on my space, but those things are not good to wear now, and not everyone in the countryside can afford new clothes.

It’s not that he looks down on people, but every family has limited cloth coupons every year, so you have to think carefully if you want to make clothes.

If he went back home wearing new clothes now, the news would probably spread throughout the team before he even got home.

Then the old lady came to the door...

Forget it, don’t even think about it. Let me just describe it as a chaotic situation.

After complaining for a while, he came to the main street. There were many people walking in a hurry on the road. It seemed that it was noon and everyone went home for lunch.

Xu Xiangyang was not hungry at the moment, so he took a stroll to the supply and marketing building.

There's nothing here that says you can't just take a look if you don't want to buy it. The original owner came to take a look many times before.

But most of the time, he would go when there were many people, so that even if he didn't buy anything, the salesperson wouldn't notice him.

Seeing that there were not many people in the room, Xu Xiangyang looked around at each counter.

The name is quite grand, and it is called the Supply and Marketing Building. There is nothing good inside, just some agricultural and sideline products, cloth garments, and other things that are in line with that era.

Look at the peach cake, it has grown hair!

But there were only one or two hairy spots, so the salesperson took advantage of the fact that there were few people around and broke off the hairy parts.

Xu Xiangyang looked at it and shook his head. Although this thing is not bad to eat, it is not good to sell it after it has grown hair, right?

The salesperson saw Xu Xiangyang staring at him and immediately glared at him.

"You're not going to buy anything! What are you hanging around here for?" When she saw Xu Xiangyang's clothes, she knew that this man would not buy anything.

He was also staring at the peach cakes, as if he could buy them.

Xu Xiangyang: I don’t want it even if it’s given to me for free!

He didn't do the same as the salesperson and turned to go to the agricultural and sideline products counter.

"Do you want to collect the honey?" he asked lightly.

The salesperson looked up and said, "Honey is fifty cents a pound."

There weren't many agricultural products at that time, so honey was the best thing and more popular than sugar.
