Chapter 564: Preparing for the New Year (V)
The second sister took the money handed to her by the buyer, said thank you and walked towards the purchasing station.
Lu Xiaoxiao was standing outside the purchasing station when she saw her second sister coming out. She said to her second sister, "Second sister, where are we going next?"
"I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store to look at some fabrics. This year my mother wants to make a new set of underwear for our whole family."
"Then let's go to the department store first. There are more fabrics there than in the supply and marketing cooperative."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister said, "Then let's go to the department store first."
When Lu Xiaoxiao and her second sister arrived at the department store, they went straight to the counter selling cloth.
"Second sister, what kind of cloth do you want to buy?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister.
"I want to buy white cotton."
"Comrade, do you have white cotton cloth?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked the salesperson at the counter after hearing her second sister's words.
"Yes, how many feet do you want?"
"Second sister, how much do you want per meter of cloth?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister after hearing what the salesperson said.
"Twenty feet."
"so much?"
"Well, I need so much fabric for my family's clothes."
"Comrade, we want twenty feet of white cotton cloth." Lu Xiaoxiao said to the salesperson.
"Do you have so many cloth coupons? Don't tell me you don't have so many cloth coupons after I cut the cloth." The salesperson said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"Second sister, take out your cloth coupons." Lu Xiaoxiao said to her second sister after hearing the salesperson's words.
"Okay." After saying that, the second sister took out a stack of cloth coupons from the bag she was carrying and handed it to the salesperson.
The salesperson took the cloth coupons handed to her by the second sister, counted them and found that the quantity was correct, so she picked up the scissors and started cutting the cloth.
"Twenty feet of white cotton cloth costs twelve dollars plus twenty feet of cloth coupons."
When the second sister heard what the salesperson said, she took out the money and tickets from her bag and handed them to the salesperson. Then she picked up the cloth, put it in the backpack, and left the cloth counter with Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Second sister, where did you get so many cloth coupons?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister curiously.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister leaned close to Lu Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered, "My dad caught a wild goat a few days ago, and then he took the wild goat to the black market to exchange for tickets."
After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Xiaoxiao finally understood how her second sister got so many tickets. However, she didn't expect that her second sister's father, who looked like an honest man, was actually quite creative and knew how to exchange wild goats for tickets instead of money.
"What are we going to buy next?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister.
"Buy candy."
Lu Xiaoxiao and her second sister came to the candy counter and saw loose fruit candies, White Rabbit milk candies and chocolates, so she asked her second sister, "Which one do you want to buy?"
"I want to buy a pound of fruit candy and half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy. What kind of candy do you want to buy?" The second sister said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"I want two kilograms of fruit candy, one kilogram of White Rabbit milk candy and four pieces of chocolate."
"Is that chocolate delicious?" asked the second sister after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
“People who like it think it tastes rich and delicious, while people who don’t like it think it tastes bitter and unpalatable.”
"Then I'd better not buy it. I don't think I can eat it." The second sister gave up the idea of buying chocolate after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"I'll open a piece for you to try later. If you like it, you can buy more." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing her second sister's words.
