Chapter 5 Cancellation of Engagement



Daily necessities such as cotton coats and pants, cotton gloves, hats and scarves, cotton masks, work gloves, rubber gloves, yellow rubber shoes, high rubber shoes, cotton shoes, kettles, washbasins, teacups, aluminum boxes, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, bird feathers, clam oil, flashlights, etc. must be prepared.

With about 45 feet of cloth coupons on hand, Li Xiyue bought 15 feet of cotton cloth, 15 feet of woolen cloth, and 15 feet of Dacron.

Assuming that one set of clothes for an adult is 7 feet of cloth, each type of cloth can be used to make two sets of clothes.

Everything has its corresponding ticket. In short, you can’t buy it without a ticket even if you have money. In this era, tickets are more important than money.

Li Xiyue had cotton coupons, so she bought some. Although the south is not as cold as the northeast, the temperature in winter is still several degrees below zero. A lot of cotton is still needed to make thick quilts, cotton shoes, and cotton pants.

I also bought various cakes, biscuits, candies, malted milk, milk powder, brown sugar, white sugar, etc.

Fruit candies were sold by the piece, at one cent each, and assorted candies were sold by the pound, at 1.3 yuan per pound. The famous White Rabbit candies were sold at 1.6 yuan per pound, while brown sugar was 80 cents per pound and white sugar was 90 cents per pound. All of these required a sugar ticket.

There are also tea, cigarettes and alcohol.

Different grades correspond to different grades of tickets. For example, Moutai requires Class A liquor tickets, Great China requires Class A cigarette tickets, Zhonghua, Peony, and Daqianmen are Class B, and Red Star Erguotou and Huanggai Fen are also Class B.

You can’t buy Moutai with just a ticket, you need proof, so Li Xiyue didn’t want it.

The supply and marketing cooperative was incomplete and many things were missing. Li Xiyue went to the department store again to buy the missing expensive cigarettes and alcohol such as Zhonghua, Daqianmen, Mudan, and Erguotou.

Seeing canned fruit for sale, she was craving for it, so she bought all the cans on the counter and kept them for later.

There are many mosquitoes in the south, so mosquito nets and wind oil are essential.

Because she bought a lot of things, Li Xiyue was afraid of attracting too much attention, so she bought a bottle of disguise potion in the space mall and drank it, changing into different appearances and buying them in batches.

Finally, I took the foreign exchange coupons to the Foreign Exchange Building and bought all the sanitary napkins there. The price of sanitary napkins was a bit expensive, eight yuan a pack, and there were only about eight pieces in a pack.

She has to buy it even though it's expensive. She's not used to using menstrual belts these days, so she still has to use sanitary napkins.

All in all, the cost was two hundred and twenty-seven dollars and sixty-nine cents, with two-thirds of the cost being local fares.

In order to farm in the space, Li Xiyue went to the grain station again and bought various grain seeds, vegetable, fruit and melon seeds.

Grain and oil require a grain and oil book to buy. Money and tickets alone are not enough. Each person has a fixed amount per month. Li Xiyue didn't bring the grain and oil book, so she didn't buy anything.

The supplies were put into the space in batches while no one was paying attention.

I still have some local tickets left, and I plan to go to the black market to use them up, and then see if there is any food, so I have to stock up on some.

However, the black market only opens at night, and it’s still noon now, so I have to go home first and deal with the house.
