Chapter 48 Buying Needle and Thread
Because department stores sell a large number of finished garments, they always set up a special sewing service to provide customers with the service of modifying the size of clothes. Seeing the word "needle and thread", Koizumi's mind suddenly came to mind: It is not usually used in life, but it is indispensable at critical moments.
That's right, it's some needles and threads.
After the industrial chain is broken, these objects that require precision manufacturing will no longer be produced in large quantities as before, and should become very scarce in the future.
In addition, Lin Xiaoquan is also looking forward to waiting for his mental power to improve his ability to control things, whether he can use his mental power to control the needle as thin as a cow's hair to enhance his force value like the "Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle" in some martial arts novels.
It's better to act than to be excited, and act immediately when you think of it. Koizumi followed the floor signs and climbed the stairs to the "daily necessities" retail area on the top floor.
Koizumi found a middle-aged aunt saleswoman who had nothing to do and was sleepy in the corner of the huge empty floor.
"Hello! Hello...... I want to buy some needlework. Koizumi gently woke up Auntie.
"Hey! Hello! Needlework, right? Okay, follow meβ" Auntie replied subconsciously before she was fully conscious for a while.
"Thank you! What is the current price of needlework and thread? Is there a separate needle for sale? Koizumi thought about it, in addition to buying needles and threads, he also had to buy more needles if he wanted to practice his mental power.
"I'll seeβ" Maybe because of the layoffs, the aunt who stayed behind was not in charge of this area before, and she was not very familiar with it.
"If you buy this sewing kit, twelve dollars." The aunt took out a small and ordinary sewing box, which was equipped with 2 needles and four colors of cotton thread.
Koizumi had bought a similar sewing kit for her grandmother before, and she calculated in her heart that this kind of sewing kit used to sell for less than five yuan at the small grocery store in the town. Koizumi was going to take another look, so he asked, "Is there any other outfit to match?" Or is there a separate needle for sale? β
The aunt buried her head and searched for a while, and found a big dusty box: "Look at this, this seems to be more professional, that is, it is specially used for tailor shops." β
Koizumi opened the box and saw that in addition to the colorful fine cotton threads with complete colors, there were also special dragon and phoenix scissors, belt threaders, stringers, thread removers, pins, thimbles, wrist pin bags, buttons of various colors and sizes, and a box of disc gold tail pins. Seeing that the relevant sewing tools were quite complete, I thought about buying this big box.
Pointing to the small box of disc gold tail needles, Koizumi continued to ask the aunt: "Is there still this kind of combination needle for sale?" β
"Yes! Girl, do you see this box? Do you want? Auntie asked about the large box of sewing tools at hand.
"How much is it, please? Can it be cheaper to buy more? Koizumi then added an explanation to cover it up: "I was also entrusted by the villagers who ran a tailor shop, and I needed a lot of money. β
"Now a box like this costs 80 yuan. It seems that there are still two boxes left in the store, and if you buy them together with other combination needles, you will be wiped out. The aunt replied cheerfully.
"Okay, give me ten more boxes of those combination needles in addition to this one." Koizumi said as he calculated, reaching into the pocket on the inside of his coat, pretending to take out money from it, but in fact taking out cash from the Taoyuan space.
After the aunt loaded it and handed the goods to Koizumi, Koizumi couldn't help but explain a few words to the aunt:
"Auntie, you see that there is a shortage of electricity resources now, and many factories are suspended, because I don't know when we will be able to resume normal production.
After Koizumi finished speaking, the aunt smiled and thanked her: "Thank you!" The girl is so kind! You are because there are craftsmen in the village, but we don't have them at home, so it's useless to buy so much, hehe. β
Seeing that the aunt didn't take it seriously, Xiaoquan had to give up, and sighed secretly in his heart: It seems that not all ordinary people are like Ye Lao, they have no concept of the present, and even the next "hard" days, and they don't take it seriously.
