Chapter 25 The Fierce Woman

He shook his head, feeling that he wasn't feeling well today. Could it be because he hadn't slept well last night? Otherwise, why did he always feel so tired?

Otherwise, why can't I remember when the little girl left?

Even the person who moved the goods didn't notice.

It seems he really needs a good rest tonight. He won't pay any attention to his wife, no matter how much she makes a fuss. He doesn't want to go through that exhaustion again.

This gave him a terrifying feeling. He was talking to the girl, but suddenly he spaced out and didn't even realize when she left.

After leaving the shop, Yunxi didn't go too far, but instead observed the shop owner from across the street.

After confirming that the boss had no further reaction, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that her boss didn't suspect anything, which made her feel much better.

Thinking about all the things I just bought piled up in my storage space, I felt quite happy. I had only been in town for such a short time and I had already bought everything I needed.

Although she felt that buying only ten large water tanks seemed a bit too few, there were only ten available at first glance in the shop, so in order not to spend too much time there, she could only buy ten.

Yunxi knew from her memory that there were fewer and fewer shops open now, whereas when she was in school, all the shops on this street were open.

Now only a few shops are open, and each one is separated by several closed shops.

Yunxi's eyes lit up instantly when she glanced at the shops that were open in front of her.

Ahead was a shop selling clothes and fabrics. You should know that the clothes she was wearing now were all her old clothes from when she was a little girl.

As a vain peach blossom fairy, whether she was a peach tree spirit or now that she has become a human, she has always loved to look good.

At this time, everyone was wearing drab gray clothes, and it was hard to find even a slightly bright color.

But since she couldn't buy those brightly colored fabrics, she also hoped that the clothes she wore would be neat, without patches, and beautiful.

Yunxi went straight into the shop. The most eye-catching thing was a sign hanging on the side, which read: "3750 old dollars per foot of fabric, or 37.5 cents in new dollars."

Although she didn't understand any grand principles, she knew that the promotion of the new coin was a must.

Yunxi thought about the money she had found in her home and breathed a sigh of relief; it was all new currency, no old currency.

Then it was discovered that all of them had already been replaced before Grandma passed away.

Many households in the village haven't exchanged their old currency for new currency, because they feel they have significantly less money after exchanging the old currency for the new.

Some people even felt that they had been embezzled, so they were not at ease and did not exchange the old coins, keeping them tightly hidden at home.

It seems that the original owner's grandmother was more knowledgeable. While many people were hesitant and indecisive, she was the one who responded to the call and exchanged all her money for new currency, even the money in her savings account.

Looking at the fabrics in the shop and thinking about the money in my hands, I suddenly felt really rich.

Making a set of clothes myself would take about twelve feet, and at one foot, three cents and seven and a half cents, it would cost about four and a half dollars.

If you calculate it that way, it doesn't seem that cheap. After all, people at this time might not earn more than four and a half yuan a year, especially those who farm in the countryside.

The shop sells coarse cloth, cotton cloth, and soft silk for making cheongsams.

This was the first time Yunxi had ever seen such soft silk. When she asked the price, it was twenty or thirty yuan per foot. Compared to the coarse cloth and cotton cloth she had just seen, it suddenly seemed quite expensive.

Yunxi felt that she didn't necessarily need to wear silk clothes. Even though she had a lot of money, there was no need to spend more than 300 yuan just to make a dress for herself.

In the end, I bought coarse cloth and cotton cloth.

Coarse cloth is perfect for making work clothes, while fine cotton cloth is for when I go to school or when I start working later.

Yunxi directly bought enough fabric to make ten sets of clothes, not only coarse cloth but also a lot of fine cotton cloth.

The colors are limited to gray, blue, and black; there are no other options.

I spent less than 100 yuan, grabbed a bunch of fabric, stuffed it into my basket, and then left the shop.

The moment she stepped out, she instantly stored the fabrics in her basket into her spatial storage.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people loitering outside, Yunxi looked up at the sky and figured the supply and marketing cooperative's gates should be opening soon.

Luckily, she had a watch voucher. Not having a watch to tell time was very inconvenient for Yunxi, especially since she wasn't very good at telling time by looking at the sun. She really needed to buy a watch.

When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she found that there were quite a lot of things inside, and some of them were things she had never seen before.

I went to the second floor first, found the watch shop, bought a watch for over 100 yuan, set the time, and then came downstairs.

First, I went to check out the place that sells oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. There were very few people in the supply and marketing cooperative at that time, since there weren't that many people with money and free time to wander around inside.

"Hello, ma'am, I'd like to buy some salt. How much does it cost per pound?"

The saleswoman selling oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar was a woman in her forties. I had initially thought she must be a delicate young girl because of the pleasant voice that called her "big sister."

To my surprise, when I looked up, it was a dark-skinned little girl.

His happy expression instantly vanished, and although he didn't say anything, his tone was stiff.

"Salt costs 25 cents a pound, and each person can only buy a maximum of two pounds. How much do you want?"

When Yunxi heard that each person could only buy two catties, she was immediately disappointed. She had been thinking of buying several hundred catties to take back and make various kinds of cured and salted meat from the wild boar meat in her space.

It's true, the plan was aborted before it even started.

"Sister, could you buy a little more? I'm planning to buy it to pickle vegetables, but two pounds isn't enough."

"No, if two pounds isn't enough, come back and buy more next time. You can only buy two pounds at a time. Do you want it or not? If not, move aside and don't stand here blocking other people's way."

Hey, Yunxi thought that even with her good temper, she couldn't stand the salesperson's aggressive words.

That salesperson was absolutely awful.

But this is their territory, so we have no choice but to bow down!

"Two pounds of salt, two pounds of oil, two pounds of vinegar, two pounds of soy sauce, thank you."

"Two pounds of salt cost 50 cents, two pounds of oil cost 1.5 yuan, two pounds of vinegar cost 14 cents, two pounds of soy sauce cost 20 cents. Do you have any bottles to store things in?"

Yunxi then remembered that when buying these things, you need to bring bottles to put them in.

He shook his head, indicating that he hadn't brought it.

"Remember to bring your own tools next time. Each bottle will hold one pound. Each bottle will cost one cent, so it'll be two dollars and ninety-four cents in total."

Seeing her fierce expression, Yunxi quickly handed over the money and then took several bottles of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

He stuffed the items directly into his basket and prepared to check on the other things nearby. Since he had already come all the way to town, he would definitely bring along anything he was missing.
