That day, Lin Qingmei took advantage of her break to drive to the city. She went to the pharmacy to buy the necessary medicinal materials according to the list she had made before. After walking through several streets, she finally bought all the medicinal materials for making medicine bags in a time-honored Chinese medicine store.
It was a rare trip to the city, so she planned to go shopping in the department store. The department store in the city had four floors and was much larger than the one in Nancheng County.
The things sold inside were also more diverse, so Lin Qingmei went directly to the food area and bought two kilograms of chicken biscuits and one kilogram of mung bean cakes.
Cantonese-style chicken biscuits are greasy, but they are a rare delicacy in this era.
Just as Lin Qingmei was about to leave the food area, she saw chocolate in the corner.
In this era, chocolate is a rare commodity and can usually only be bought in Friendship Stores.
Lin Qingmei walked up curiously and pointed at the chocolate and asked the waiter, "Comrade, how much is this chocolate?"
"Ten dollars a box, no ticket required, not sold individually." The waitress didn't even raise her head and continued knitting her sweater.
"Then bring me two boxes!" Lin Qingmei didn't care about the waiter's bad attitude. All waiters were like this now. She was too lazy to report them. If she reported every waiter with a bad attitude, she wouldn't have that much time.
After paying, Lin Qingmei continued to stroll around the department store. When she passed by the clothing area on the first floor, she saw a piece of blue floral fabric. The pattern of the fabric was very unique, and it would definitely look good if she used it to make a piece of clothing for herself, so she bought it.
She originally wanted to buy two pieces of clothing for Lin Zheng, but she had run out of cloth coupons.
There were only cloth and no ready-made clothes in her space, and she was unwilling to help him make clothes. She could only give the cloth to the captain's wife and ask her to help make two sets for Lin Zheng.
Lin Qingmei went downstairs carrying her things and was about to leave the department store when she heard a loud noise.
She leaned in to take a look and saw that it was a young girl who accidentally bumped into an old lady carrying a basket, and the eggs were broken all over the floor.
The old lady refused to give in and pulled the girl to ask her to pay ten dollars.
The girl looked aggrieved and her eyes were red. "I didn't do it on purpose. Someone just pushed me and I bumped into you. Besides, this egg is not worth ten dollars. I can only compensate you two dollars at most."
"No, don't even think about leaving here unless you pay me ten dollars." The old lady held the girl and wouldn't let her leave.
"Let me go, I don't have that much money, I only have two dollars, and my mother gave it to me to buy candy for my brother." The girl struggled for a long time but failed to break free from the old lady's hand.
There were a lot of people gathered around, everyone was pointing and talking, but no one stood up to speak.
When Lin Qingmei saw this girl it was just like the first time she met Lin Qinglan in her previous life. At that time she also hid in a corner and cried because she lost the money to buy a mobile phone for her brother and was afraid of being scolded by her mother.
In addition, this girl looked three points like Lin Qinglan, and Lin Qingmei couldn't bear it and stepped forward to hold the old lady's hand.
"Auntie, are your eggs inlaid with gold? Ten dollars, you might as well rob them."
Seeing that Lin Qingmei was a little girl, the old lady became even more arrogant. She looked at Lin Qingmei with her mean triangular eyes. "Little girl, since you are standing up for her, why don't you help her pay the money!"
"Oh, I think you want to go to jail. You are blackmailing me now. I can report you to the Public Security Bureau." Lin Qingmei would not be afraid of a young lady because she had killed zombies before.
"Don't try to fool me. I just want her to compensate me for the eggs." The old lady panicked when she heard that she had to report the crime, and her voice became softer.
