1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1162 Procurement
Besides Wan Qing, there were seven other people. After taking their things out, they checked out of the room and took the things directly to the kitchen. There was a scale there, and the seven of them divided the things up. Team Leader Zhou even gave Chu Xue an extra three yuan per person, after all, it wasn't just for her hard work, but also for the travel expenses of the past two days and the accommodation last night, so Chu Xue couldn't bear the burden herself.

No one had any objections, after all, the quality of this dried seafood was no worse than what was seen at the Canton Fair, and the price was really reasonable.

Chu Xue didn't actually profit from their price difference, after all, everyone had taken good care of her these past few days, except for Wan Qing, of course.

Naturally, everyone reciprocated without the slightest reluctance.

As for the fresh seafood, the kitchen staff at the guesthouse didn't charge any processing fees. They just said that once it was cooked, they would leave a bowl for them to enjoy. And that was the end of it.

Chu Xue went back to her room, reorganized her belongings, ignored Wan Qing's expression, and left the guesthouse.

Mi Aijun and Zhang Chunsheng originally wanted to bring her along, but Chu Xue refused and made up an excuse to avoid it.

I got a lot of local tickets last night. These can only be used locally and have an expiration date. I don't know when I'll be able to come back again, so I can't let them go to waste.

After leaving the guesthouse, I found a secluded spot to dress up again before heading towards the department store.

To avoid attracting attention, he visited several stores and bought three radios, three bicycles, two sewing machines, and five watches, including two pairs of matching watches, which he planned to give to Fu Yancheng later.

With a ticket in hand, even if the bicycle arrives in Beijing, it can still be stamped with a seal, indicating that it was shipped back from there, and nobody will say anything about it.

I bought a lot of various fabrics and yarns, only stopping when I used up all my coupons. Of course, none of these items came from the same department store; I always exited through the back door and then found a secluded place to safely store them. Thinking about the foreign exchange certificates I still had, I hurried to the Friendship Store, since I didn't know anyone there, and it was much safer than going back to Beijing to use them.

Upon entering the Friendship Store, Chu Xue saw the clerks clearing out the thick woolen coats that had been stored away. Among them were two coats that Chu Xue immediately took a liking to. Thinking that Duan Ruirui and her cousin's wedding was in August, she thought that it would be perfect to give the coat as a gift then: "Comrade, may I try on this woolen coat?"

The sales clerk hadn't expected anyone to try on a wool coat at this time and didn't think a sale was likely, but she still stopped what she was doing and pulled out the one Chuxue was pointing to: "Sir, if you really like this coat, since it's not in season, we can give you a silk scarf as a discount."

Upon hearing this good news, Chu Xue pointed to the dress she wanted to give to Duan Ruirui and said, "I'll try that one on too."

Duan Ruirui was a bit heavier and shorter than her, so the clothes were roomy enough for her and shouldn't be a problem: "I'll take both of them. Do they come with a silk scarf?"

The sales clerk was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected offer and immediately offered two items from their inventory, her face beaming with joy: "Yes, yes, you can choose your favorite color."

Chu Xue chose a beige scarf from the row to match her navy blue coat, and a light beige scarf for Duan Ruirui's brown coat. They were warm but not overpowering, and should look harmonious.

Then I saw Revlon lipstick, Friendship brand face cream, and Pechoin face cream, so I bought five of each.

Seeing that it was almost time, I didn't dare to delay any longer. I took out some things that I had prepared and carried them in my hand, and quickly took a car to the guesthouse.
