Seeing that Su Ruyi asked so bluntly, the plump woman nodded awkwardly and lowered her voice: "Come to my house tomorrow, I have a lot of things to sell, all of which the children need when they go to the countryside, and no coupons are required!"
"Go to your house?" Su Ruyi frowned instinctively.
"What are you afraid of, young lady?" the plump woman chuckled in a low voice. "My home is in the police station's family compound! My husband and son are both policemen! Do you think I'd eat you up? Besides, we're old enough to be too tough for soup!"
Su Ruyi felt relieved and asked again carefully.
The plump woman gave her a series of instructions, carefully explained the address, and even offered to help her carry her newly purchased items and take her home.
Su Ruyi declined her offer and left with her things.
Even after walking a long way, she could still feel the fat woman's gaze welded to her back.
Finally, she saw a small alley and quickly slipped inside.
With no one around, she then put everything she was carrying into her spatial storage.
She turned around, bypassed the alley, and, making sure she had shaken off the old lady, went to the grocery store.
The food here is better than in the state-run vegetable market, but most things require ration coupons.
She mainly came to buy meat.

Finally, she spent 21 yuan, using up all her meat coupons, and bought 20 jin of pork and 10 jin of spare ribs.
They went out to hide in the space for a while, then returned.
This time, all the sugar coupons and oil coupons were used up.
Ten pounds of White Rabbit milk candy, at six yuan per pound, is the hard currency of this era.
As for white sugar, rock sugar, and brown sugar, Su Tong had already bought them for her and sent them to her.
She picked out local brands "Chunyan" and "Shuangyu" cigarettes, which didn't require coupons, and bought five packs of each, spending a total of 4 yuan.
Cigarettes and alcohol are both excellent gifts.
