Go shopping after dinner, full of energy.
Lu Jiang brought Feng Qingxue to the department store, stopped in front of the cloth counter, and took out a large stack of cloth coupons.
"Comrade, we are buying cloth. Bring us a few more to see."
Seeing that both of them were wrapped in military coats, and Lu Jiang was wearing a military uniform under his open coat with his epaulettes particularly obvious, the salesperson who was knitting at the counter immediately stood up and greeted them warmly.
"What kind of cloth do you want to see? The goods we just received are all top quality."
"Qingxue, what color cloth do you like to wear?" Lu Jiang turned to Feng Qingxue and asked, "Just pick the cloth you like. Let's buy the cloth first, and then buy clothes, shoes and socks."
"I have enough clothes to wear, so there is no need to waste money."
In fact, the clothes made by Aunt Xu and brought back from the Feng family were enough for changing.
Lu Jiang said, "How can it be a waste? Just choose what you need to buy. I have more than enough tickets."
Feng Qingxue hesitated for a moment and looked carefully at the fabrics on the counter. There were more and better fabrics than those in the county department store. There were cotton, khaki, work cloth, corduroy and other types. The colors were basically black, blue and gray. The brighter one was army green. There was also a piece of black, red and gray plaid woolen cloth. Apart from that, there were no other brightly colored fabrics.
The saleswoman, who was in her thirties, was very perceptive and said to Feng Qingxue, "What color do you like, comrade? Tell me which one you want and I'll get it for you. Look at this plaid, it would be the best for a coat, and there's also this piece of army green khaki."
"We want this plaid." Lu Jiang ordered the only piece of woolen cloth without waiting for Feng Qingxue to speak.
The salesperson smiled and said, "Okay, comrade."
After careful consideration, Feng Qingxue finally chose blue work cloth and military green khaki cloth, and asked for the size of each to make a piece of clothing. "These are enough."
"How can this be enough? I told you that you don't have to be polite to me."
After Lu Jiang finished speaking, he pointed to the blue and black denim, the black and blue corduroy, the blue, green and black khaki and other fabrics and said to the salesperson: "I want 20 feet of each. And two 20-foot pieces of muslin, one with a blue background and small floral prints and one with white."
Feng Qingxue hurriedly said: "Brother Lu, there is no need to buy so much cloth."
"You've come here with great difficulty, so I might as well buy the money. Anyway, the army provides food and accommodation, and distributes clothes according to the season. The cloth coupons collected by these comrades will expire and will be invalid in my hands. I will have no use for them in the future." Lu Jiang planned to buy her more cloth and clothes from the beginning.
I remember that when my brother proposed to my sister-in-law, he gave her eighty pieces of silk and cloth, and dozens of sets of clothes for all four seasons.
How much can I do now?
Compared to this, it's insignificant.
Feng Qingxue couldn't persuade him and could only watch Lu Jiang pay the money and the ticket.
Cotton cloth is 60 cents a foot, khaki is 80 cents, work cloth and corduroy are one dollar a foot, and plaid woolen cloth is the most expensive, at ten dollars a foot. This piece of cloth is eight feet six inches long and costs eighty-six dollars.
Buying cloth not only requires money, but also coupons.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The salesperson issued the ticket and clipped the money to a clip on a wire above his head. Then, with a whoosh, he was pulled away.
After a moment, the wire was pulled back, and only the change and the receipt were left on the clip.
The salesperson handed it to Lu Jiang, then neatly cut the designated fabric, folded it, and said enthusiastically: "Comrade, I have wool yarn here, both wool yarn and blended yarn. Do you want some? These are new goods, and the sweaters knitted from them are very warm."
