Chapter 128: Start Shopping Mode
"Comrade, I'll store the car."
"I'll deposit the license plate for you. Two cents."
"Okay, comrade, you take it." Bai Baoshan gave the money and took a small bamboo sign and a parking ticket.
Lock the car, hang the license plate on the handlebar, and take out a cloth bag from the rear basket.
He took Qiao Yun and entered the department store.
I didn't expect there would be so many people here at this moment.
Then just walk around.
At the entrance is the grocery area, which has candies, cakes, canned fruits and everything you need today.
Even a can of malted milk, which had not been seen for many days, was placed on top.
"Brother, White Rabbit." Qiao Yun pulled Bai Baoshan's sleeve.
"How much is the gay White Rabbit?"
The female comrade at the counter looked up at Bai Baoshan. Seeing that he was dressed like a cadre, she smiled a little. "With a candy ticket, it's 2 yuan. Without a ticket, it's 7 yuan."
After hearing the price, Qiao Yun's eyes widened even more.
Bai Baoshan touched Qiao Yun's little head and said, "Comrade, please give me one pound. I don't have a ticket." Then he took out money from his pocket, took out 6 yuan and put it on the counter.
"It's not a problem. We are serving the people. Don't worry. We will weigh it higher for you." He then took a paper bag and put it on the small scale.
"Thank you."
"Comrade, take it. Here is the ticket."
Bai Baoshan took the paper bag and tore up the tickets.
Pulled Qiao Yun to the place where the brown sugar was.
"Comrade, how much is brown sugar?"
The after-sales clerk didn't even look up. "There are two kinds of brown sugar, one is machine-made and the other is ancient brown sugar. Which one do you want?"
"Gui candy."
"You need a food allowance, two taels per person per month, 2 yuan per tael."
Bai Baoshan took out the food booklet and said, "Comrade, I want six taels. I still have two taels of supply coupons."
The salesperson took the food book, looked at Bai Baoshan and Qiao Yun beside him, picked up the 2-liang supply voucher and looked at it.
"No problem, comrade. It will be 1 yuan in total." Then he took the seal and stamped the two notebooks.
He took out a square piece of straw paper from the side, placed it on the scale, and used a shovel to hit the bag on the side a few times, picked out a large spoonful of small-grained brown sugar.
When the weight reached the scale bar, it was slightly lifted. A bag of straw paper was taken out, and a paper rope was pulled out from the side. A cross knot was tied in less than a second.
"Comrade, take it."
Sugar is not very expensive, 20 cents per ounce, which means two yuan per pound.
Tsk tsk.
Bai Baoshan put the sugar in the bag.
He took the bag of White Rabbit candies from Qiao Yun and took out two, one for each of them.
Bai Baoshan has not yet tasted the White Rabbit of this era.
Sure enough, the taste seemed to be much stronger than what he took out from the space.
To cut corners, Bai Baoshan secretly took a sip.
Further ahead is the pasta and pastry area.
But Qiao Yun grabbed his hand and said, "Brother, this is expensive."
"It's okay, I'll buy you two pieces for you to try."
Holding Qiao Yun’s hand, I came to the bread area, which was the counter of Yili Bread.
The best-selling items are fruit bread, walnut kernels, apple preserves, melon strips, candied green plums, and raisins.
"Comrade, how much is the bread?"
“果子面包,3毛5 1个,3两粮票,没有票1块2。
Vegetarian bread, nothing in it, 1 cents a piece, 5 taels of food coupons, 1 cents without coupons.
Small bread, 1 cent each, 1 tael of grain coupons, 1 cents without coupons. "
It’s really not cheap.
Bai Baoshan had already exchanged all of his food coupons for grain, and the remaining food coupons could not be used here.
Take out the money.
He took out two dollars and said, "Comrade, I don't have any food coupons. Please give me one fruit bread and one vegetarian bread. Here are two dollars."
"It's two dollars. Here's the ticket." The salesperson took out two paper bags, one of which contained a large piece of bread.
The bread weighs three liang, not the whole piece, but the flour used.
And the stuff inside is definitely genuine.
Bai Baoshan took the bag and took a sniff.
The fruity aroma is mixed with the milky flavor. If there weren’t so many people here, I would really like to take a bite first.
Put the bag close to Qiao Yun's nose.
This girl was pouting just now, but after she smelled the aroma of the bread, her eyes immediately narrowed. It seems that she is so easy to coax.
In fact, Bai Baoshan was quite lucky to arrive at this time. If it had been a few years earlier or later, he would have been unable to move forward without a ticket.
Although it is a bit expensive now, it’s because I have money.
Not only do I have money.
Just now, there was a middle-aged man behind Baibaoshan who bought 10 fruit breads.
Look, this is the power of the rich.
Even Bai Baoshan only dared to buy one to try.
Pulling Qiao Yun, he continued to move forward.
This is where they sell all kinds of canned food, canned fruit, malted milk, canned meat, anything that can be canned is available here.
The bottle is right, but the packaging is not right. This should be a can from the 1970s or 1980s.
There is a bottle on the plane. They say the lid can't be opened. How to open it?
There are quite a lot of canned foods, and many varieties, including oranges, pears, yellow peaches, pineapples, strawberries, and cherries.
"Comrade, how much are the cans?"
Anyway, Bai Baoshan was a bit crazy about shopping. He wanted to buy everything he saw and try everything.
“All flavors, 1 a bottle.”
"Comrade, how much are the canned meats?"
"Beef, mutton, and pork are all 245 grams and all cost 1 yuan."
"Comrade, how much is malted milk?"
The salesperson was a little impatient, but considering Bai Baoshan's attire, he suppressed his anger and said, "Tianjin Malted Milk, 56 yuan, nothing else."
Hiss...I can only buy these two cans in a month?
Well, no wonder malted milk is the biggest killer when giving gifts to leaders nowadays.
One word stands out from the root: it’s really fucking expensive.
Bai Baoshan took out three dollars and said, "Comrade, one can of each of beef and mutton."
"Brother, why buy it? It's only half a pound, which is enough to buy two pieces of fresh meat."
"That means we don't have meat coupons now.
We won’t buy too much, just buy one and try it.”
"Comrade, here's your can, and your ticket."
"Thank you, comrade."
Bai Baoshan took it and put it in his pocket, then took Qiao Yun away.
Qiao Yun felt so distressed after spending so much money in such a short period of time. If she had known earlier, she would not have come to the department store and would have gone to the supply and marketing cooperative at the door.
The door is the Nanluoguxiang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, not the Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative
Qiao Yun forced Bai Baoshan to leave this area.
Arrived at the living area.
I bought a tube of toothpaste last time and only half of it was left.
The main reason is that both of us brush our teeth once in the morning and once in the evening, so it is a little more expensive.
Last time I had little money, so I bought the cheap one. This time I have more money, so I picked the better one, which is not expensive, only 4 cents.
Big brand, Baiyu toothpaste.
The white jade toothpaste in the past is almost the same as the white jade toothpaste now. It has completely changed.
I just took two without asking for a ticket.
Seeing Bai Baoshan was about to buy something, Qiao Yun simply held down Bai Baoshan's hand as it was reaching for other things.
Qiao Yun regrets it now.
In just this short period of time, the two of them probably spent someone else's monthly salary.
The main reason is that Bai Baoshan has never had the concept of money. He always spends more when he has more money, spends less when he has less money, and never spends anything when he has no money.
Coupled with so much money in the space, Bai Baoshan almost forgot what era it was.
He raised his hand and touched Qiao Yun’s little head.
“Well… ahem… bro, take it easy.
Let's go upstairs and buy clothes and cotton. We won't sell anything else, okay?" Bai Baoshan scratched Qiao Yun's little nose.
This made Qiao Yun's nose wrinkle. "Brother, this is what you said. Don't spend money recklessly anymore."
"Yeah, I said, let's go."
Clothes, cloth, cotton, wool, all of these are on the second floor.
This time Bai Baoshan stopped buying tickets crazily because they all needed tickets.
6 pounds of cotton, in a small bundle.
Went to the ready-made clothing area again.
I bought a set of army green cotton-padded clothes for Qiao Yun. It has an army green cloth cotton-padded coat inside and an army green single coat outside. Actually, it can be worn as two sets, but the outer clothes are a little too fat.
This set is not cheap, 32 yuan, plus Bai Baoshan’s clothing ticket.
The female comrade took Qiao Yun to the small room inside to try them on, and she took out a slightly longer one.
When you get home, open the sleeves and roll them inwards, and you can still wear it for another two years.
This is how we buy clothes nowadays, there is no such thing as buying just the right size.
I bought a pair of leather shoes with fur lining for Qiao Yun. Bai Baoshan had no tickets for these shoes, and they cost 12 yuan.
I used Qiao Yun's own money to buy these two items. I thought 50 was a lot at first, but I ended up with only 2 yuan left before I even got halfway around the second floor.
"Okay, little money-grubber, let's go. Let's stop shopping and go home." Bai Baoshan pulled Qiao Yun and left.
Qiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She could finally leave and would never come again.
The clothes were too big to fit into the bag, so Qiao Yun could only hold them in her arms.
Bai Baoshan thought he could meet a few Buddhas this time, but in the end he met only a few lonely ones.
The bags were put into the basket, but Qiao Yun was reluctant to put the clothes in for fear that they would be scratched.
Bai Baoshan clicked his tongue and said, "The quality of these clothes. Not to mention being scratched, even a dull knife wouldn't be able to cut through them."
I could only let her hold me.
Ride the bike happily home.
Perhaps Qiao Yun sensed Bai Baoshan's happiness, and feeling the thickness of the cotton-padded jacket in her arms, she squinted her eyes and began to sing.
As for the song, Bai Baoshan had never heard of it.
For many reasons, some songs were never recorded at all.
The most famous song of this era is Let us row our oars and sing for our motherland.
As for other Bai Baoshan, I have never heard of them.
But the melody sung by the little girl is quite nice.
Just be happy.
