Chapter 37: Back to Town
It seems that he has to be vigilant, Lin Xiaoquan secretly made up his mind. On the follow-up journey, Xiaoquan closed his eyes and recuperated while thinking about whether he should use the plants planted in the space to make a series of "concealer" lip grease. Koizumi remembers that he had read books about the past: in the Tang and Song dynasties, it was popular to use sandalwood to dot his lips, and sandalwood is today's flesh color and nude tones. You can also try to make some sandalwood, or even dark sandalwood lipstick, to "hide" your good complexion. As for the clothes on the body, fix 1 to 2 clothes to wear when going out, and try to wash and care for the coat and coat as little as possible in the Taoyuan space.
After various plans along the way, the bus finally arrived at its destination, the town where Koizumi High School is located.
Before getting out of the car, Lin Xiaoquan carefully put on his hat, sunglasses, mask and gloves; After getting out of the car, pull down the brim of your hat, lower your head, avoid the middle-aged man in the next seat who wants to continue to talk and follow, and walk briskly in the direction you are familiar with.
Koizumi first went to a daily haberdashery store in town that was still open during the New Year's Day, and planned to buy some packaging.
Koizumi walked into the deserted haberdashery store and found that there were few goods on the shelves, so he asked the middle-aged man who was doing nothing on the side: "Hello! When will the out-of-stock items arrive? ”
"I don't know! Did you come back from outside? Now several factories in and around the town have completely shut down. The shopkeeper glanced at Lin Xiaoquan, who was tightly covered, and still answered her patiently.
"Yes, I was in the provincial capital before. Yes? There are still some factories in the provincial capital that have to be opened. Isn't there electricity for the factories here? Koizumi plans to get to the bottom and learn more.
"The factories in the big provincial cities are definitely different, the boss is rich!" The shopkeeper waved his hand and continued to analyze: "In this small place, what about the power supply?" Electricity is so expensive! Workers were also paid wages, and many simply closed their doors. ”
"That'...... Isn't there a lot of things that are no longer produced? Koizumi asked hesitantly.
"Yes! But it doesn't matter, fortunately, people in small places are used to hoarding things before the Chinese New Year, and before the power outage, I saw that the people here bought and prepared a lot of food, drink, or use. The shopkeeper continued, "So you can still find so many things now, and a little later, after the New Year, everyone will react, I don't have so many things here." ”
"Okay, then I'll take a look and pick one." Lin Xiaoquan quickly came back to his senses and carefully selected them.
First of all, the red paper that I urgently need, I went back to the village to visit the villagers and neighbors, I couldn't be empty-handed, I really didn't want to show up in this situation and bring something back. Koizumi racked her brains on the way, and finally came up with an idea: simply send some of the noodles she made in the space to each household, and then buy some exquisite red paper and wrapping paper tapes, wrap them up herself, and disguise them as they were bought in a store in the provincial capital, so that they can be brought back to everyone. The gifts are more practical food, and they also have exquisite and festive packaging, and they are brought back from the provincial capital, and the elderly elders in the village must like it.
There is a lot of red paper on the shelves and some festive packaging left, and the people in the town are more practical, and these flashy gifts and supplies have not been purchased by everyone crazy.
In addition to the red paper, Lin Xiaoquan thought that the next step was to return to the basics, like the primitive life before: he had basically not touched it since he went to college, and he still had to stock up.
