Chapter 17 Shopping

Ye Qian walked and admired the scenery.

There was a bus stop not far ahead. Ye Qian got on the bus and 20 minutes later, the bus arrived at the stop.

Ye Qian got out of the car and walked to the department store.

When I approached the counter where I was buying cloth, I remembered that I hadn't picked up the two clothes I had gotten from the tailor.

I am not in Xiaoshi now, so I can only wait until I get back.

"Comrade, I want to buy cloth. Is there any brightly colored cloth?" Ye Qian did not forget to take out her cloth ticket as she spoke.

The salesperson enthusiastically introduced to Ye Qian, "What kind of fabric do you want? There are cotton, khaki, denim, corduroy, and wool. There are also many colors. Bright colors include white, red, and yellow."

The ones are military green, and the others are black and dark blue. Everything is complete."

"There are indeed many kinds, comrade, please give me 5 feet of corduroy black cloth, 5 feet of white woolen cloth, 3 feet of yellow cotton cloth, and 3 feet of that red-bottomed floral one." The salesman listened to what I said.

I started cutting the fabric, first I measured it with a ruler, and then the fabric came down with a click. The salesperson took the money and the ticket, packed the fabric, and I took the fabric and went to another counter.

Ye Qian bought 4 more cans of malted milk and 10 pounds of White Rabbit toffees. Not far in front was a counter selling shoes. Nowadays, leather shoes also require leather shoes. She only had one in her hand.

The best leather shoe brand in the 1960s must be Lan Tang. Ye Qian directly chose a pair of black classic models, which are exquisitely made and comfortable on the feet.

Ye Qian went to other counters and bought 2 bottles of cream and 2 bottles of clam oil.

Then I went to the ready-made wardrobe counter and bought two pieces of ready-made clothes, a black cardigan sweater and a white turtleneck sweater.

A very classic basic model that will not be outdated even in future generations.

After buying these, Ye Qian went to the counter selling watches. She had two watch tickets in her hand. She bought them from others last night. Each watch ticket cost 30 yuan.

I have never been able to get a watch ticket in Xiaoshi before. Although imported watches are free of charge, there are no imported watches in Xiaoshi. I can’t miss this opportunity this time.

Ye Qian walked over and said to the salesperson: "Hello, comrade, do I want to buy a watch?"

"Comrade, what brand do you want? There are domestic ones and imported ones." the salesman replied enthusiastically.

Ye Qian pointed to the watch she was looking at, "Show me this plum blossom watch." After saying this, the salesperson took out the watch and introduced, "The watch you chose is made in China. A watch is made in China."

180 yuan and a watch ticket."

"Okay, bring me two plum blossom watches, one men's watch and one women's watch. I want the same style." I chose the domestic one first, and then asked for two more Rolexes, one for men and one for women.

Women's model, imported watch, free of charge, but the price is really high, 550 yuan each.

Ye Qian asked the salesperson to pack her bags, paid the money and tickets, and left the department store.

I walked to a deserted place and put things into the space.

By the way, I sighed, women are really wasteful.



As I walked around like this, another day passed.

Went to a state-owned hotel for dinner before resting.

The dishes here are different from those in Xiaoshi. Ye Qian had to sigh, it is indeed my hometown. No matter it is the 1960s or the 21st century, the food is to my taste.

I ordered a portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a portion of lamb chops in honey sauce, and a portion of rice. I paid the money and the ticket and found a place to sit down.

These two dishes were nothing in future generations, but they are very scarce now.

A dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is such an ordinary dish. I haven't had it for a long time.

Tomato scrambled eggs must be eaten with rice, and the honey-glazed lamb chops are also very fragrant. The lamb chops are ribs, neatly arranged one by one, with a layer of soup poured on top, and some chives and sesame seeds sprinkled on top.

.

The meat was burnt to the bone, and it was all down when you took a bite. It was so delicious that you almost had to swallow it on your tongue.

Unfinished meals are still packed in lunch boxes.

After walking out of the state-owned hotel, Ye Qian found a hotel not far away and rested.

It has been like this for several days. Even though it is the Chinese New Year, there are still many people on the street. There are young people meeting to go shopping together, and there are older people visiting relatives with their children carrying New Year gifts.

Ye Qian looked at these with a smile. Although she was alone, she did not feel lonely.

Ye Qian played until it was almost time to go to work before going back.

This time it was a daytime train. I had a ticket at 8 a.m., so I got up at 6 a.m. and went to a state-owned hotel to have breakfast, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns.

In addition, I also packed 10 meat buns and put them in the space. When I want to eat, I can just take them out and eat them.

After breakfast, we arrived at the station at 7 o'clock and queued up to buy tickets.

There are as many people in the waiting hall as before.

Ye Qian was still the same as before, finding a place with many people and standing with others.

Today's train is still late, it doesn't arrive until almost 9 o'clock.

After a while, I heard the ticket inspector shouting, "The tickets in Xiaoshi have been checked, Xiaoshi, the tickets have been checked."

The way back was the same as the way we came, with unpleasant smells, crowded people, and noisy voices.

The train didn't arrive at the station until it was completely dark.

Ye Qian followed the crowded crowd and got off the bus. There were no buses at this time, so she could only take out the bicycle in the space and ride back.

Ye Qian was very satisfied with this trip to Han City. Seeing those familiar and unfamiliar streets filled her heart.



It was already 10pm when we returned to the grain factory. Today and tomorrow are the peak periods for returning to the factory.

The doorman didn't get angry because he disturbed his rest.

After Ye Qian returned to the dormitory, her roommate was still not there.

Today I am alone in the dormitory and I feel like having some fun.

Ye Qian took out a beer from the space, leftover honey-glazed lamb chops, a roast chicken, and some barbecue, and started eating.

After all, I didn’t eat dinner, so it doesn’t matter if I have a big midnight snack.

I am still young and already malnourished, so I cannot afford to go hungry.

After finishing her midnight snack, Ye Qian fell asleep.

tired.

I woke up at noon the next day, sorted out the fabrics I bought in Han City, and went to the tailor shop to get back the two clothes from last time and make a few new ones.

This time I made a white woolen coat, two pairs of pants, a coat, and two long-sleeved singles.

The tailor gave me two clothes that he had made before. The clothes were very nice and they were drawn by himself. They could be worn tomorrow. Anyway, I could wear a military coat on the outside and anything on the inside.

I got my clothes back, went to a state-owned hotel for dinner, and then returned to the dormitory.

After lying down, I didn't want to move very much. I had to go to work tomorrow, so I had to take it easy, but I fell asleep after a while.

My body is really capable of eating and sleeping. I have to say, it’s great to be young.
