With the money from selling the house, Shen Ning went around for a long time and visited several supply and marketing cooperatives, and finally filled up his small yard in the space.

From bath tubs and washstands to toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, perfumes, socks, cotton and linen gloves, matches, lighters, enamel cups, lunch boxes, rubber shoes, and Liberation shoes, everything that could be bought was collected.

Even the production tools, bamboo baskets, shoulder poles, backpacks, shovels, pickaxes, small shovels, bamboo baskets, and seeds of all kinds of vegetables, fruits and melons were not spared.

I don’t know if the small yard in the space can be used for planting and production yet, so it never hurts to prepare these things in advance…

The village where I was sent to work in the countryside was too far away from the town, and most of the villagers were working in the fields to make ends meet. Even if I had tickets and money, I might not be able to buy anything.

It’s better to buy them all at once to be prepared.

Due to the bad experiences of starving and freezing in his previous life, Shen Ning was extra careful in stockpiling food, but the country was still implementing a unified purchase policy, so there were naturally many restrictions when buying food.

Shen Ning felt a little disappointed, but fortunately, there was no limit on the quantity of pastries as long as there were tickets and money. He counted the tickets in his hand, picked out the pastry tickets and candy tickets that could only be circulated locally, and used them all.

In this era of scarcity, Shen Ning generously bought all the snacks available on the counter, including egg cakes, osmanthus cakes, mung bean cakes, sesame candies, walnut cakes, tin biscuits, canned syrup, dried plum preserves, malted milk and various candies...

This attracted everyone's attention, but Shen Ning always evaded the question by saying that he was going to hold a wedding banquet at home.

Passing by a clothing store, Shen Ning went in and bought several sets of ready-made clothes, cotton-padded jackets, face towels, large cotton hats, thick scarves, thick cotton gloves, underwear, autumn clothes, and socks. He bought everything from head to toe.

When I saw the braid on the model in the corner, I couldn't move my feet. My mind became hazy and I couldn't even remember when was the last time I wore a skirt.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I see that I am 18 years old and as beautiful as a flower.

The cowardly look of trying to make a living under the stepmother has faded, like a pearl covered in dust, gradually revealing its bright and dazzling brilliance...

Shen Ning pointed at the braid on the model. The salesperson's eyes lit up and he immediately took out all the samples in the store. Shen Ning had a slim figure and was good-looking, so naturally she looked good in anything.

Finally, after choosing five bras of different colors and styles, she was finally satisfied and strode out of the clothing store with her bags on her back.

She sorted out her things and went straight to the post office. Although she had the space in her hands, she couldn't just create these things out of thin air. Naturally, there had to be a reasonable way to do it.

After calculating the time, it will take at least a week for these things to reach Heilongjiang Province.

After walking around for such a long time, Shen Ning was already starving, so he stopped by a state-owned restaurant and had a big meal.

Before leaving, she bought fifty big meat buns and one hundred big white steamed buns.

It was still the same arrogant waitress from last time, but this time she said nothing. She took the money and went quickly to the kitchen to prepare the goods.

Finally, Shen Ning carried two large bamboo baskets and walked out of the state-owned restaurant quickly, not caring about the comments and envy of the people behind him. In short, it was impossible to come to this state-owned restaurant again. It would be bad if it aroused suspicion...

……

Thinking of the fragrant pork belly in the state-owned restaurant, Shen Ning subconsciously pursed his lips, and after thinking it over again and again, he decided to try his luck at the meat processing factory in the west of the city.

As soon as I walked near the meat processing factory, I saw an old lady carrying a basket and arguing with passers-by. The white cloth covering her back swayed, revealing the bloody fresh meat.

Shen Ning's eyes lit up and he subconsciously slowed down his pace. When the two men saw Shen Ning, they stopped pulling and pushed each other unwillingly into a nearby alley.

Shen Ning followed them quietly, hid in the corner, and listened to their quarrel.

"Old Li, you are going too far. If you hadn't said that your son needed fresh pork for his wedding, why would I have left so much pork?

Now that you say you don't want it anymore, what do you want me to do? Are you going to kill me?"

"What can I do? Why hold a wedding banquet if the marriage is called off? I told you, I can only give you two yuan as compensation. Instead of wasting your time here, you might as well find another partner as soon as possible!"

"You...you...you are such a black-hearted bastard! You knew exactly how big of a risk I took to get this meat, yet you still asked me to go out and look for buyers with all the fanfare!

If someone finds out, my whole family will be in trouble! If my wife wasn’t sick and in the hospital, how could I…”

"I said I don't want it. I've done my best to compensate you with these two yuan. It's up to you whether you want it or not!"

The old man in the plaid shirt threw down a few dimes angrily, "Don't think I don't know where you got the meat. If this gets out of hand, it won't be good for you!"

The old lady wiped her tears and cursed fiercely, "I can't get any good out of this, so how can you just run away? The worst that can happen is that both of us will die!"

The old man paused, then walked out of the alley angrily. Shen Ning flashed into the space.

After making sure that the man had gone far away, he entered the alley.

When the old lady heard the footsteps, she hurriedly picked up the scattered dimes on the ground with red eyes. By chance, a twenty-cent coin fell at Shen Ning's feet.

Shen Ning picked it up and handed it over, her eyebrows curved, her face smiling innocently, "Grandma, I accidentally heard your conversation, how much pork you have on your back, I will take it all."

The old lady was startled and took two steps back, looking at Shen Ning warily, "What nonsense are you talking about! What meat? No, no, kid, don't block the way!"

As he said this, he carried the basket with difficulty, walked around Shen Ning and was about to leave.

"It's not a hot day, but meat doesn't last long. If that uncle turns the tables and brings people from the factory to search grandma's house, the meat you haven't sold yet will become solid evidence."

Shen Ning leaned against the wall, still looking docile, but the words he said were frightening.

The old lady hesitated again and again, "Okay, I don't want the ticket, pork elbow is 1.5 yuan per pound, spare ribs are 1 yuan per pound, and pig's trotters are 80 cents. If you want more, I have a few shanks, I'll give them all to you."

Shen Ning was stunned, his eyes sparkling, and he drooled unconsciously, "Okay, I'll take all the meat you have!"

The old lady was delighted at first, then stunned, and finally sighed, "You can't have the little girl. It was that bastard who wanted to hold a banquet, and I only... weigh more than 200 kilograms in total."

Shen Ning swallowed and looked at her backpack, which probably held only 70 to 80 kilograms. She took out five big unity notes from her small bag and pushed them forward. "This is a deposit, I want all of them!"

The old lady was so overjoyed that her tone became sharp, "You want all... all? You didn't lie to me? Okay, okay! Then come with me!"

This old lady should be a family member of an employee of the meat processing factory. Shen Ning followed her around and came to the most remote courtyard. He entered the main courtyard and walked further in. He saw that the old lady hid the meat in the cellar.

Shen Ning frowned. This is not a good place to preserve fresh meat.

Perhaps seeing Shen Ning's dissatisfaction, the old lady hurriedly explained, "Little girl, don't worry, the meat is all fresh. My son is an employee of the meat processing plant, and we also raised these pigs secretly. There is absolutely no problem. He just took out half a pig this morning..."

Hey, that bastard said he wanted half a fan, so I left it for him..."

Shen Ning checked and confirmed that the pork was freshly slaughtered and the meat was still warm. He weighed it immediately and found it was a total of 243 pounds. The old lady calculated it and gave Shen Ning seven or eight bones.

Shen Ning happily gave the old lady 230 yuan. When he left, he saw the bacon and sausage hanging in the kitchen and signaled to the old lady with his eyes, "Do you want to sell them?"
