Chapter 51: Large-scale purchases, mountains of gold and silver in pocket
"Comrade, I want to buy this stamp. How many do you have? I want them all!"
Jiang Ning pointed at the red piece and said with great pride.
The post office clerk took one look and said something strange.
"These are old stamps from several years ago. They have never been sold. There are two more. They are both here."
Talking.
The two red bills were taken from the counter to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning immediately opened his wallet and was about to pay when Wang Chunxia came over.
She looked around curiously.
"Sister Ning, are you buying stamps? Are you going to write a letter home?"
Jiang Ning looked at the two stamps and then at Wang Chunxia standing beside him.
She rolled her eyes and said after a little thought.
"Sister Chunxia, I don't write letters, I just think this stamp is beautiful and want to buy it back for collection. Do you want to buy one too?"
"……collect?!"
Wang Chunxia was a country girl who could barely read or write. She couldn’t even write a letter, and had never heard of collecting stamps.
She even said it bluntly.
"If you buy these stamps and don't use them, isn't that a waste?"
Jiang Ning just smiled faintly and explained slowly.
"Sister Chunxia, look at this red stamp. Doesn't it look festive? After you buy it, you can put it in a photo frame. It's just the size of a one-inch photo. It will look so beautiful when placed next to the photo."
Wang Chunxia listened to Jiang Ning's words and looked at the stamp carefully again.
Sure enough, the bright red color is festive, and the characters on it are all ordinary working people, they look very energetic at first glance.
An ordinary one-inch photo costs a few dollars at a photo studio.
But this stamp only costs eight cents.
This deal isn't a loss.
Wang Chunxia looked at Jiang Ning's smiling eyes and was persuaded.
"Okay, I'll buy one too."
Two red tickets, Jiang Ning and Wang Chunxia each bought one.
Jiang Ning didn’t care about the future million RMB at all, because... there was more in the post office!
For example, the "Monkey Stamp" that was launched this year is the first set of stamps in history with the zodiac as the theme.
For example, the "Capital Scenic Spots" stamps, a set of 5 stamps, depict the scenery of the Summer Palace, Beihai, Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Capital Sights" Stamps
After several years, these stamps will still be the big names in the stamp industry.
Jiang Ning bought several copies of all of them.
Wang Chunxia was dumbfounded by the lavish way he spent money.
Only Jiang Ning herself knew that she had only spent a few dollars, but had pocketed a mountain of gold and silver.
……=
Finished the job.
The two walked out of the post office happily and went to the farmers' market together first.
The people doing business are all farmers from nearby villages. Many of them wear clothes with ethnic minority characteristics, and they sell mountain products.
Jiang Ning bought a lot of things, and his bamboo backpack was half full.
The two of them also spent 1.5 cents to buy a bowl of bamboo tube rice.
Cheap and delicious.
Next, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Although there are many things in the farmers' market, many of the commodities are only sold in supply and marketing cooperatives.
For example, salt, white sugar, brown sugar, and especially rice, noodles, and oil, these daily necessities are still regulated commodities.
The state monopolizes the purchase and sale, and purchases are made with coupons.
While Jiang Ning was queuing at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he also saw many large words hanging outside the door.
For example, for salt, each person is limited to purchasing two kilograms, and for white sugar and brown sugar, each person is limited to purchasing three kilograms.
Although there is no purchase limit on wheat flour, each person can only get a few flour coupons in total, which in another way means that the purchase limit has been reached.
Obviously, these are still scarce items at the moment.
Jiang Ning didn't have this kind of worry, simply because she had a thick stack of bills in her hand.
Whatever you want, you can have it.
As long as the goods are not subject to purchase restrictions, she can buy as much as she wants.
She even had a TV ticket, as there wasn't even a radio in the supply and marketing cooperative, let alone a TV.
When it's Jiangning's turn.
She handed over the prepared bills and money.
"Hello, comrade. I need two catties of salt, three catties of white sugar, three catties of brown sugar, ten catties of rice, twenty catties of wheat flour, twenty catties of sorghum flour, and five catties of millet."
After hearing what Jiang Ning said in one breath, the salespersons at the cooperative were dumbfounded.
Such a young girl actually wants so many things.
When he saw the bills and money in Jiang Ning's hand again, he swallowed the shock in his throat.
She said slowly, "Wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
After a while.
The glass counter was filled with everything Jiang Ning wanted.
She rearranged the bamboo backpack and filled it neatly until it was almost full.
But Jiangning’s big purchases are not over yet.
She also bought soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil...
The entire cabinet was filled with glass-packaged goods, even canned yellow peaches and white wine, all displayed together.
Jiang Ning pointed at the white wine on top and said.
"Comrade, I want five bottles of liquor."
"Okay, wait a moment."
After seeing this series of events, Wang Chunxia on the side was dumbfounded again.
She was shocked and said, "Sister Ning, why did you buy so many things? Captain Qin and his men eat in the army cafeteria most of the time. You are the only one at home, so you can't finish them all."
"Sister Chunxia, there aren't many of these things, and I still think they're not enough. They'll come in handy."
Jiang Ning spoke with confidence.
She obviously had other plans in mind.
therefore.
Wang Chunxia did not try to persuade them. Instead, after the salesperson put down the five bottles of liquor, she put them all into her backpack.
"We agreed that I would help you carry it."
"Okay, thank you Sister Chunxia."
Bought these.
Jiang Ning continued to look at the fabrics in the supply and marketing cooperative.
After she sorted out Qin Jiulie's wardrobe, she found that this man only had military uniforms and military sweatshirts, and had no private clothes at all.
This won't work.
A man's good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist is wasted.
.
Jiang Ning wanted to make some clothes for Qin Jiulie for daily wear, but after looking around, he couldn't find a suitable one.
Either the texture is bad or the color is ugly.
It doesn't match Qin Jiulie's aura at all.
Jiang Ning thought of the department store and proposed it to Wang Chunxia.
"Sister Chunxia, let's go to the department store. I want to buy some nice fabrics."
"Department store?" Wang Chunxia's eyes widened in shock again, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, the things there are too expensive, we can't afford them."
Jiang Ning did not laugh at Wang Chunxia's fuss and her ignorance of department stores.
Instead, he asked gently.
"Sister Chunxia, have you never been to a department store?"
Wang Chunxia blushed in embarrassment and nodded, "People in my village say that department stores are for rich people, and ordinary people like us can't afford it."
"Who said that? Everyone who goes to a department store is an ordinary person! Come on, I'll take you to see it today!"
Jiang Ning hooked Wang Chunxia's hand and strode forward.
