While the three were talking, the bus to the city had arrived.
The shuttle buses at that time were similar to the later public buses. You had to fight for the seats on the bus, and those who got there first would get a seat.
Those at the back can only stand in the aisle.
Zhang Yuelan was very strong in fighting. She pulled Shen Chuning and Ding Hongye and got on the bus ahead of everyone else in a few moves, occupying three seats.
After they sat down, the people behind them quickly came up.
Not only were all the seats occupied, the aisles were also filled with people standing, and were crowded with baskets and other items that everyone used to carry their things.
It was packed so full that there was no space at all.
Fortunately, the only people on the train were soldiers and their families, and everyone was hygienic. Plus, the weather was not too bad, so although the train was crowded, there wasn't the unpleasant smell like on the train.
The road from the military area to the city is all hardened cement road and is not very bumpy.
Shen Chu Ning and the other two grabbed seats, and the ride was quite comfortable.
Because most of the people coming from the military region go to the supply and marketing cooperative to purchase daily necessities, the shuttle bus boarding and alighting points in the urban area are set up not far from the supply and marketing cooperative.
After getting off the bus and walking a few steps, you will arrive at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the urban area is five times larger than that in Qingyuan County.
When you walk into the supply and marketing cooperative, the first thing you see is still the slogan written in red on the white wall behind the counter: "Develop the economy, ensure supply!"
The second thing I saw was the wide variety of goods in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the wire slide made of small motors, pulleys, and iron wires in the air, which converged towards the cash register like rays.
After the salesperson collected the bill, he pulled a small clip above his head to hold the bill, and then pushed it out with force. With a "whoosh", the small clip holding the bill went to the cashier counter.
The cashier collected the money and slipped the change back to the salesperson by clipping it on the clip.
At this time, the clips containing money were flying over Shen Chuning and the others' heads with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound.
The supply and marketing cooperative in Qingyuan County actually also uses this cash register method, but given the scale of the supply and marketing cooperative, it does not look as spectacular as this one.
Ding Hongye said that she always bought things at the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune in her hometown. The supply and marketing cooperative in the commune was too small and generally did not use this kind of cash register method, which made her even more amazed.
"Xiao Ding, Ningning, whatever you want to buy, your sister-in-law will go and grab it for you." Zhang Yuelan rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was going to do something big.
Yes, she used a gun.
Although the supply and marketing cooperative in Liaobei City is large, the supplies are still rationed. There are too many people and too little supplies. If you don't have any skills, you will be squeezed at the back and make a wasted trip without buying anything.
Shen Chu Ning came mainly to buy cloth, as she needed cloth to make clothes and diapers for her children.
But before, she only bought a little cloth and used it as she went along, so she wasn't able to save any.
If she had known that giving birth to a child would require so much cloth, she would have asked Sister Chen to help her get some more defective cloth to store in the space when she was in Qingyuan County.
Defective cloth usually has some problems with printing and dyeing, or is leftover material.
It is fine to use fabrics with printing and dyeing defects to make children's clothes, and the leftover fabrics can also be used to make diapers.
It’s a pity that she hasn’t established such channels here yet, and it will be difficult to establish such channels in the future.
After all, the competition in the army is quite fierce. Zhou Yubai is now the youngest regiment commander. I wonder how many eyes are watching him!
It would be fine if she couldn't help a man achieve success in his career, but she couldn't hold him back.
Shen Chuning took out the money and gave it to Zhang Yuelan, and returned all her cloth coupons, asking Zhang Yuelan to help her exchange them all for cloth.
I don’t care about the pattern or color, as long as it is made of pure cotton and made into clothes or diapers that are comfortable for the child to wear.
Ding Hongye had saved up a lot of old clothes worn by her relatives' older children, all of which had been washed and dried. She had also saved up a lot of diapers, so she didn't have to buy so much cloth.
He took five feet of cloth coupons and money and asked Zheng Yuelan to help him buy cloth.
In addition, Ding Hongye also wants to buy some brown sugar, and it would be better if she could buy some red dates.
You don't have to fight for brown sugar and red dates like you do for cloth, but you still have to queue up.
Shen Chu Ning has no shortage of brown sugar and red dates.
Now she has enriched the crop varieties in the space. In addition to wheat, corn and rice, she also grows many fruit trees and sugarcane.
She can process sugarcane into brown sugar directly through her mind in space, and can also process fresh red dates into dried dates.
Chen Chuning looked at the long line and pulled Ding Hongye, "Sister Ding, I brought a lot of brown sugar and red dates from home. I'll give some to you when I go back. Let's not queue up here, let's go queue up over there to buy meat!"
Today, not only the two of them want to buy meat, but Zhang Yuelan also plans to buy some meat to improve the meal.
Now Zhang Yuelan is helping them grab the cloth.
Then they have to help Zhang Yuelan buy the meat.
"Okay, Ningning, thank you then." Ding Hongye thanked Shen Chuning and went to the meat counter with her.
The meat shop was divided into two lines. Shen Chuning and Ding Hongye were in one line each. They could hear the butcher in front of them shouting, "Line up, everyone line up. Three pigs have arrived at our supply and marketing cooperative today, and everyone can buy one!"
Shen Chuning and Ding Hongye looked at each other and were both very happy.
They were lucky.
Although the salesperson said that there was plenty of meat today, everyone was still very anxious and stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look forward.
Because there are only a few pieces of good meat on a pig. If you buy the fattier meat such as pork belly, ribs, front legs and hind legs, what's left is some lean meat and bones. Who would like to eat the meat without even a trace of oil?
Shen Chu Ning didn't care.
Since she was a child, Shen Qingsong would try his best to meet all her requirements, so she never lacked oil and water. When she grew up, she didn't like to eat fatty meat anymore.
So being able to queue up and buy lean meat was exactly what she wanted.
By the time it was her turn, there was only some lean meat left on the chopping board except for a piece of prime rib with fat three fingers thick.
"Comrade, you are so lucky. There is only one piece of pork rib left. Can I weigh it for you?" said the salesperson.
Shen Chuning nodded, "Okay, thank you comrade. Please weigh this piece of lean meat and ribs for me as well."
This piece of rib meat is about a pound, and Shen Chuning plans to give it to Zhang Yuelan. Zhang Yuelan has two sons at home, and they are the ones who are eating their father out of money. She will definitely like this kind of fat meat.
As for herself, she liked a piece of pork belly and a piece of pork ribs. She always thought that the meat from these two parts of the pig was the most delicious.
They are all lean but not dry, crispy and tender.
After Shen Chu Ning bought the meat, Ding Hongye's line came up, and she just happened to have the last piece of fat meat left.
After knowing that Shen Chuning had bought meat for Zhang Yuelan, Ding Hongye happily bought the piece of meat for herself.
