Everything is difficult at the beginning.
However, once you've started, things become much simpler.
Next up are daily necessities. These days, there aren't many daily necessities available, and they're easy to buy.
After Song Qinghe went over, she said directly, "Could you please give me 500 boxes of matches and 500 bars of soap? The soap should be Bee & Flower brand, and for the scents, I'll give you jasmine, sandalwood, rose, hibiscus, peony, and tuberose, 100 bars for each, it's not too bad."
"Also, a little toothpaste, 100 tubes, please. Oh, and 5 kerosene lamps and 5 enamel basins."
Song Qinghe was too lazy to do the math, so she simply ordered 100 of each item, which made the math easier to calculate.
As for kerosene lamps and enamel basins, I don't use them much, as I usually live in the space.
It's just for show. As for lighting, there are luminous pearls, but we don't need to prepare too many; just a few will suffice.
It can be given away as a gift or used by oneself at that time.
She does have a knack for spending money; she has a total of 5,000 yuan in cash, and she has already spent 1,429 yuan of it.
Or maybe we should take it easy?
Between being cautious and indulging in reckless buying, Song Qinghe unhesitatingly chose the latter.
The main problem is that we don't know where we'll be assigned to go to the countryside. If it's a poor place, then we'll be in trouble.
If you lose money, you can always find a way to earn it back.
Besides, isn't there the Song family's enormous wealth?
Song Qinghe hasn't opened the box that Song Yiren asked Zhou Jianshan to give her yet.
I reckon there should be plenty of things I need inside, and if all else fails, there are plenty of small yellow croakers.
After a brief hesitation, Song Qinghe decided to continue making the purchase.
Matches cost 2 cents, soap cost 20 cents, kerosene lamps were much more expensive, costing 30 yuan each, toothpaste cost 50 cents, and enamel basins cost 2 yuan.
All of these add up to 270 yuan.
After paying, Song Qinghe silently calculated in her mind that out of the current 5,000 yuan, 1,699 yuan had been spent, leaving 3,301 yuan.
We've bought almost everything on the first floor. Let's go to the second, third, and fourth floors and see what else we can buy.
Song Qinghe planned to spend most of the 5,000 yuan, keeping a few hundred yuan for herself as pocket money.
The second floor mainly sells clothes and textiles, and she can buy fewer textiles there.
There are many fine materials in the space, such as silk, and quite a few more.
But clothes won't do. The original owner's clothes were all silk, Western-style dresses, and quite a few formal dresses.
It's not practical at all.
If Song Qinghe were to go to the countryside dressed like that, she would probably be targeted within a day, so it's definitely not an option.
She plans to buy herself some clothes, preferably ordinary and inconspicuous ones.
These days, clothes are generally in shades of blue, gray, and green, and the materials aren't very good; they're usually made of cotton or polyester, and there are both fabrics and ready-made garments.
For convenience, Song Qinghe planned to buy all ready-made clothes, leaving workwear as the only option.
It's okay, the more ordinary the better.
As for the rest, when conditions improve in the future, I can take out the materials from my space and find someone to make them, and there won't be any problems.
Now I just want to dress myself up in a more rustic and ordinary way.
After going up to the second floor, Song Qinghe bought 30 sets of work clothes for herself to change into.
I also bought 10 pieces of T-shirts, thermal underwear, cotton overcoats, and cotton shoes.
Although the weather is warm now and we don't need it for the time being, who knows when we'll be able to return to the city? It's always good to be prepared.
Oh, and underwear too.
We should buy more of these, since we need to change and wash them frequently. Let's get 100 of each.
Song Qinghe thought that although the original owner also had underwear, there weren't many left, so it would be better to buy more to replace them.
In the end, I spent 800 yuan just on clothes, leaving me with 2501 yuan.
I bought it on the second floor, that's about right.
Song Qinghe walked to the third floor and saw that the entire third floor was filled with shops selling stationery and hardware.
