When Meng Tao heard it, let alone say it, this is really a good way.

Not only repaid his money, but also saved his own money, many people in the countryside planted one or two orange trees in their backyards, usually did not dare to sell the fruit, and secretly used it in private to exchange for some daily necessities, which was not worth much money and was easy to get; Isn't it a local specialty, sweet potato, dried radish, dried eggplant, and cowpea? Anyway, that's all there is to the rural production, the price is set by itself, and it is enough to give a sufficient amount...... It's just like online shopping in later generations, great!

The more Meng Tao thought about it, the brighter her eyes became: if more people traded like this, wouldn't she be able to make money by mailing packages?

Turning her eyes to look around, she was quickly discouraged again, she could only fantasize about it, reality would not allow it, the eyes of the masses were bright, and if she was found to be making profits like this, it would be speculation, and she would definitely be arrested and sent to re-education through labor.

However, Shen Yu, the customer who delivered it to the door, couldn't let it go, Meng Tao simply took out the work diary in his schoolbag, asked Shen Yu to write down his detailed address, tore up a blank piece of paper, and also left his address to him, to show his reputation: people are in that village, and they can't run away.

Meng Zhehan looked at something wrong beside him, there was no reason, his brother hadn't moved yet, Shen Yu's address went up first, and he was also busy taking Meng Tao's notebook, writing his address, and telling her to write a letter to herself.

Meng Tao readily agreed, and said that she would also send some oranges and specialties to her brother "five hundred years ago".

Meng Zhehan was very happy, and said a few words to Sister Taohua, Zhang Guoqing looked at his watch and reminded Teacher Meng that it was time to go back to class.

So several people broke up on the street, Meng Zhehan and Zhang Guoqing took Shen Yu's car back to the college, Shen Yu had to go to run errands after sending them off, and Meng Tao went shopping.

Given that Meng Tao was able to go shopping by herself yesterday and take the car back to the steel mill by herself, she was not worried that she would be lost.

It was already said at the dinner table just now that the day after tomorrow on Saturday, Meng Zhehan and Zhang Guoqing came to send Meng Tao to the train station and take the train back to their hometown.

Today and tomorrow, Meng Tao can visit the provincial capital.

But the provincial capital of Province D is a historical city, very large, Meng Tao can't go around in two days, and she doesn't have that ambition, so she can only take a look at the flowers and flowers selectively, and look at the places of interest and historic sites in the city that have not been repaired by later generations, and the original flavor is not too strong.

The important goal this afternoon is to complete your own procurement plan first.

Xian Fangfang's special tickets can be spent in any department store, and Meng Tao took a bus to the nearby second department store.

This time I went shopping more carefully, after all, I have money tickets and I can buy things, so I have to choose.

On the fourth floor, clothing, shoes, socks, bedding and cloth are sold, and there are many autumn and winter clothes on the clothing counter, as Xian Fangfang said, the style is very conservative, loose and casual enough, and there are also slightly slim styles, most of the colors are common blue, gray, and black on the street, and there are a few sets of more conspicuous and bright, beige, sky blue, silver gray, and pure white shirts, thin tweed and floral women's outerwear.

These clothing styles are not good in Meng Tao's eyes, after all, the aesthetics are different in the era, but she knows her current appearance, and in the eyes of the people in the city, it is also rustic and countryman, and the ready-to-wear displayed on this shelf, which set is much stronger than her own, so she is not qualified to dislike it.

Picking and choosing, Meng Tao herself matched five sets of clothes, all of them were long-sleeved jackets, two sets of her own in autumn, two sets in winter, and another set of autumn clothes were given to Zhou Cuiling.

Then I bought two sets of autumn clothes and pants and two pairs of cotton socks, a pair of nylon socks, cotton socks are cheap, only a dime and six cents a pair, and nylon socks cost five cents.

A pair of sandals for bathing, a pair of rubber sole elastic shoes to wear, a pair of low-heeled black corduroy fabric buckle shoes, usually wear, but I want to buy a pair of semi-high-heeled leather shoes, think about the potholed dirt roads and uneven stone roads in the village, or forget it, such road conditions, how many leather shoes are not bad enough, and it is not easy to walk, afraid of choking.

I bought two new towels, four printed handkerchiefs, and three scarves, the common variegated plaid scarves with tassels and more foreign solid velvet scarves full of age in the movie, the plaid ones were given to Aunt Yang, and the foreign solid color scarves, bright red and beige, for Zhou Cuiling and herself, Zhou Cuiling is suitable for red, Meng Tao's skin is too bad at present, and she has not been conditioned well, and other colors will only make her darker, so use beige ones.

Bedding Meng Tao picked a white gauze mosquito net, two sheets, and two pillows for washing, and there was no ready-made quilt cover to sell, so she pulled a six-meter-wide quilt cover and went back to sew it herself.

Seeing that the fine spun floral cloth is very cute, the color is fresh and elegant, and it is a few meters away, you can learn to cut your own clothes, and it is not bad to be a curtain.

Buying so many things at once, the salespeople were impressed by Meng Tao and served her very warmly and thoughtfully.

Xian Fangfang's special welfare tickets and cloth tickets were all bought out, and Meng Tao also added dozens of yuan in cash.

I don't regret it, I have to buy what I should buy, Meng Tao will save money when she has no money, and she will never treat herself badly when she has money.

Had a couple of soap tickets, went to the laundry counter and bought soap, soap and seagull shampoo.

There are hot water kettles and washbasins, iron buckets, etc. on the counter next door, Meng Tao found out the industrial vouchers and bought an iron bucket and a hot water kettle, two enamel basins, one pure white and one printed with red peony flowers, and the pure white ones should be put into the space to receive pine needle dew, and peony flowers are used for washing the face.

I also bought a light cyan enamel cup with a lid, and a square medium-sized aluminum lunch box, aluminum spoon, aluminum tableware is not very good, but there is no way, this era is only this condition, she also wants stainless steel, but there is no sale.

On the train, I saw many people bringing their own cups and lunch boxes to make hot water and buy food, and Meng Tao felt that she should also have a set, which could be used for travel and home.

Meng Tao bought a large travel bag, and when she stuffed things in, most of them were directly put into the space, the iron bucket and basin were carried first, and she walked to the corner of the stairs where no one was there, so that she only took a travel bag in her hand, which would not be too heavy.

At the food counter on the first floor, I bought two catties of brown sugar, two catties of rock candy and one catty of fruit hard candy with sugar stamps.

Walking out of the department store, Meng Tao took the car to the Chinese medicine store she saw yesterday, she would not let go of those pills, she bought them all, and spent a hundred yuan.

There is a Xinhua bookstore not far from the Chinese medicine shop, Meng Tao went in and selected two agricultural technology books, and a Xinhua dictionary, to learn culture, you have to use it;

There are also seven or eight villain books, ready to give one to each of Zhou Cuiling's three younger brothers, and keep a few copies for themselves, the villain book with the theme of ancient sayings painted by Gongbi is exquisite and beautiful, chatting about Zhai, talented and beautiful women or something, although it feels like the plot is bloody, but I just like it.

Seeing that he couldn't see it for half a day and spent nearly two hundred in cash, Meng Tao had to admire himself, he was really a consumer maniac. It is only because there is a small space to collect that he dares to purchase so much, if he really brings so many things back to the village on the bright side, he will have to be scolded by the captain Bao Shunfeng for being a loser.

She couldn't think of anything else to buy for the time being, so she walked around the streets with a half-empty travel bag, wandering aimlessly, and when she walked through a shady alley with several tall locust trees, she felt that this place was very good, quiet and quiet, so she took the opportunity to sit down on a stone bench at the foot of the wall by the alley.

Within a few minutes of sitting down, two middle-aged men approached and asked in a low voice, "Girl, what are you selling?" ”

Meng Tao was secretly taken aback in her heart: How do you look at these two people, as if they are spies, mysterious, and what are you asking?

She replied casually, "I don't have anything to sell." ”

A man pointed to the travel bag she kept next to her: "...... in here"

"This is what I bought."

"Oh oh, that's sorry, we thought you were going to sell something. Since you have already bought it, little girl, let's hurry up, hold a bag like this, it's too ostentatious, it's hard to say if the pickets come over, after all, we are secretly trading, we have to be careful and careful! ”

After the other man finished speaking, the two turned and left.

Meng Taoleng was stunned for a long time, and figured out one thing: she came to the place where people traded privately, which is the black market as the saying goes, and was mistaken for something to sell.

Hurriedly got up and left with the bag, walked to the opposite street, and then looked back at the deep alley, and was quite good at choosing a place, this place is indeed suitable for private transactions, both sides are street entrances, this side goes in and that side goes out, and the crowd disappears.

When I took the bus back to the steel mill, it was already night and the lights were on.
