Chapter 16 The Eve of Going to the Countryside (4)

Lu Xiaoxiao went under the tree to wait for someone first, but she didn't take out her things. She must be cautious, and she can't go wrong if she is careful.

It didn't take long before Lu Xiaoxiao saw the man coming from a distance, and she saw that only the man came, so she took the things out of the space under the cover of the tree, and then she saw the man coming under the tree. Just let him come forward to inspect the goods.

After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the man stretched out his hand to look over the rice and fine flour, then lifted it with his hand, nodded in satisfaction, and handed the ticket to Lu Xiaoxiao.

She took the ticket that the man handed her and checked that there was no mistake, so she nodded towards the man and left in a different direction in tacit agreement with the man.

Lu Xiaoxiao used the same method to make deals with several people. Seeing that it was almost dawn, she found a place where no one was around and put the cloth and blue cloth for her head back in the space, and then took out a clean towel to wipe her face clean. , and walked towards the state-run hotel.

She came to the state-run restaurant and ordered a bowl of porridge and a bun, and she went home after eating.

After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao went into the villa to take a shower, and then flashed out of the space with a cup of milk tea. After lighting the coal stove, she picked up the cloth bag and poured out all the tickets changed today. At a glance, there were so many kinds of tickets.

She took a rough look at the pile of tickets, including food tickets, cloth tickets, meat tickets, sugar tickets, wine tickets, industrial tickets, and some miscellaneous tickets. The supply in the city is tight now, even if there are tickets, it may not be possible to buy them. No wonder those people exchanged food with her.

After sorting out all the tickets, Lu Xiaoxiao plans to go to the supply and marketing agency and department store to buy what she needs in the afternoon.

She thought that she was about to leave Beijing soon, and she had to say goodbye to Zhang De's family anyway. They were the first person she came to this world to bring her warmth, and they were a family that really treated her well.

Lu Xiaoxiao came to the department store in the afternoon and saw Jiefang shoes and rain boots, so she bought five pairs for men and women, size 38 for women and size 43 for men. These were intended to be exchanged with the locals in the countryside. Shoes are a rare commodity there. You need to know that a pair of shoes costs eight industrial tickets and six yuan. Farmers are not workers, and they don’t get a few tickets a year. It’s too difficult to buy a pair of shoes.

After shopping for shoes, Lu Xiaoxiao went to a place selling sugar and cakes. She bought 3 catties of white rabbit toffee and 5 catties of fruit candies, and then she bought 2 catties of brown sugar and 2 catties of white sugar with the remaining candy tickets.

Because there were too many things, Lu Xiaoxiao first went out to find an empty place to put them in the space, and then went into the department store to continue shopping.

Lu Xiaoxiao came to the pastry place and saw that only chicken cakes, trough cakes and beef tongue cakes were sold, and the pastry tickets happened to be enough to buy 2 catties each.

After buying pastries, she saw cigarettes for sale a few counters away. She thought that she had three cigarette tickets, and one ticket could buy two packs of cigarettes, so she went over and bought four packs of cooperation brand cigarettes for two Pack of Hundred Flowers cigarettes.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw a wine seller at the counter next door, she thought about the 4 wine tickets in her hand, looked at the things in her hand, so she went out to put the things in the space before going in to buy wine.

Lu Xiaoxiao came to the liquor store and took out the tickets to buy two bottles of Wuliangye, a bottle of Fenjiu and a bottle of Xifengjiu. She wanted to buy Moutai, but unfortunately she didn't have a ticket for premium liquor.

When she was paying, the lady at the counter asked you why you bought so many things at such a young age. Just now, I saw you buying things at several counters back and forth, where did you get so much money and so many tickets.

Listening to the other party's bitter tone, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that she was jealous and wanted to find trouble. When she saw the other people at the counter stretching their necks to watch the excitement, Lu Xiaoxiao lamented that she was careless, but it was okay. She went out a few times, otherwise the scene with all the things in her hands would be scary to think about.

So Lu Xiaoxiao said loudly: "Sister, my two older brothers are going to get married, and the time is stuck. The tickets that have been saved for a long time at home are for the two older brothers to get married. It's not that there are too many things to buy now. My mother is outside. Looking at things, I come in to buy, there are too many things to carry and it is difficult to walk, and it will be bad if I bump into something."

The spectators nodded when they heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said. Now that someone in the family is getting married, it is a big event. Basically, they have to start preparing things half a year in advance, and there are many people who have a year in advance. Seeing the situation like this, the eldest sister of the wine seller snorted and turned to chat with the cigarette seller.

Lu Xiaoxiao left the department store with a few bottles in her hand, put the wine in the space, and then went into the department store to continue shopping. Since today’s situation is like this, she plans to use this reason to spend all the tickets.

Then Lu Xiaoxiao went to the second floor and bought a pair of Plum Blossom watches for men and women. She saw that the imported watches did not require tickets, and she liked the Omega style very much, so she bought it too.

After buying the watch, Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a while that the tickets in her hand were tickets for small things, so she went out of the department store to the supply and marketing cooperative. When Lu Xiaoxiao left the building, she heard the wine seller say This is all bought, how many tickets do you think there are? It's really wonderful that there are every year, especially this year.
