Chapter 2 Stocking Up



That’s right, there are no spies that are so rubbish!

This battle was a failure. Zhou Yian had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​following him. It was useless if he didn't follow him because he didn't know where the man had gone.

Move to the department store!

Being rich means being generous. Instead of going to the supply and marketing cooperative, you go to the department store for on-site inspection.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Yian became excited, and the shopping instinct engraved in her bones began to awaken. Although the variety was a bit rare, she had never seen anything like it before!

Lekoufu, an all-round nutritious and delicious drink. What is this? I've only heard of malted milk.

"Sister, what is this Lekoufu and how much is it?" Zhou Yian forced out the smile that she had practiced repeatedly in front of the mirror. Her face was sunny and her big eyes turned into crescent shapes when she smiled.

The elder sister was also amused. "Little girl, Lekoufu is a nutritional supplement specially made in Shanghai. It was originally called Lekoufu Malted Milk. We use it when visiting relatives and friends. But it's very expensive. It costs five yuan a can, and no ticket is required."

This is malted milk. I've learned a lot. Five dollars isn't expensive. "Then please give me two cans, no, five cans."

If you have money, spend it as much as you want.

Besides, I don’t know if I will be able to buy it when I get to Northeast China. Anyway, there is a space, so it’s no problem to put a few cans of malted milk in it.

It’s a pity that the space didn’t appear before she crossed over, otherwise she could have stockpiled goods!

The eldest sister quickly took a net bag and filled it with five cans.

It’s not very heavy, I can accept it, so I continue shopping.

Yarn?

"Sister, how much is this wool per pound?" It is said that Northeast China is very cold, so clothes must be prepared. Seeing this wool, I am eager to knit by hand.

"This is authentic wool, shipped from Xinjiang. You need a ticket, and it's 18 yuan per pound." This lady was a bit too picky. It was a bit expensive to require a ticket at this price.

No matter how expensive it is, I have to buy it. No matter how hard it is, I can't make myself suffer.

Zhou Yian pretended to take out the tickets from his clothes. This pile of tickets was snatched from his stepmother.

The stepmother was still hesitant and refused to give it to him. Only after her desperate cries and Zhou's father's suppression did she give it to him.

I handed the roll to the older sister, who counted it and said, "You have two kilograms of rolls in total, 36 yuan." She directly gave her two kilograms of gray wool. That's right, there's no choice, this is the only one.

I took the wool and continued shopping.

White Rabbit Milk Candy, that is the joy of childhood. I quickly bought four pounds, it costs 12 yuan.

Precious things are expensive. But these White Rabbit candies are said to be enough to make a cup of milk. So, it's definitely worth buying.

Friendship brand vanishing cream, made in Shanghai, comes in a smooth white porcelain bottle with a fruit green iron lid. There is also a small arched groove in the center of the bottle with a gold-plated trademark on it.

This is only 18 cents?

Buy, buy, buy! Ten boxes! What's a woman without skincare? Clam oil is five cents a box? Ten boxes too, for hand care. There's also a red hairband on the side, five cents each too, so ten of them will do.

Compared with this, malted milk is indeed a bit expensive.

Bicycle! A 28-bar bike, so cool. Zhou Yian looked at his small arms and legs and remained silent.

It turns out I am not worthy.

Zhou Yian walked through the bicycle area with a proud and confident look.

Then he saw the fountain pen, and his stationery addiction kicked in. Why is this pen so beautiful? A Hero brand fountain pen costs 13 yuan each, so Zhou Yian bought two without hesitation, and also added a bottle of ink for 50 cents.

Small and precious, what attracts people is the variety of watches. Unfortunately, she checked yesterday and found that there were no watches in the tickets given by her stepmother. That won’t do. How can there be no watches?

Zhou Yian felt that he should continue to take advantage of the situation when he returned.

There is a flashlight next to the watch. There are no street lights in the countryside, so it is necessary to stock up on a few flashlights. Zhou Yian bought two at once, five yuan each, which is actually a bit expensive. Batteries also need to be prepared. He bought two small bags of ten batteries, which cost two yuan.

I also bought some candles as backup. I bought ten large candles, which were relatively cheap, only 80 cents in total.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Yian used up all the cloth, cotton, and sugar coupons he had, and even bought some snacks that didn't require coupons. After using up most of his coupons, with only grain and vegetable coupons left, he prepared to return home.

I was quite satisfied with the shopping and crammed most of the things into the corners. Then I returned home with a few snacks and some necessary sundries for the trip to the countryside.

1,000 yuan given by Zhou's father, 200 yuan from Liu Hong, 210 yuan as subsidy for sent-down youth, and 8.5 yuan saved by the original owner, totaling 1,418.5 yuan.

Malted milk is 25 yuan, White Rabbit candy is 12 yuan, wool is 36 yuan, ten boxes of vanishing cream are 1.8, clam oil is 0.5, red hairband is 0.5, fountain pen is 26, ink is 0.5, battery flashlight is 12 yuan, candle is 0.8.

I didn't mention it in the article, but I spent 6 yuan on two kilograms of cotton, 4.4 yuan on three feet of cloth, 8 yuan on one piece of clothing, 4.5 yuan on five kilograms of brown sugar and 3.5 yuan on five kilograms of white sugar, 30 yuan on fifteen boxes of cookies, and two servings of pastries: one I hid for 20 yuan and one I took home for 2 yuan. I also bought some sundries, salt, and matches, which barely amounted to one yuan.

So An An currently has 1,227.5 yuan left.
