Now that there is no chestnut cake left, the boss thinks of taking two steamed buns to fill his stomach first, as he has to go to work soon and he can't go to work on an empty stomach.

"The fastest one is the chestnut cake, which takes about half a minute to make. All the ones that just came out of the pot were bought by a customer."

"Okay, I'll come back later. I'll order a portion of chestnut cake. Pack it up for me and I'll take it away later."

The pastry shop owner was busy doing business. Father Liu and others had already finished their breakfast and were feeding some water to the children at home.

Wrap the rest in oil paper and take it out to satisfy your hunger when you are hungry later.

This morning's meal was delicious and much better than the big pot meals we had along the way.

After eating, you don’t have to rush to stroll slowly on the streets in the early morning and feel the hustle and bustle of the world!

Time passed slowly, the sky was already bright, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, and shops along the street opened their doors one after another to do business.

Liu Caixia came to a ready-made clothing store. She wanted to take a look at some of the clothing styles of that era. Their clothes now were all simply modified based on the attire of pedestrians fleeing famine.

They are similar in appearance, but actually there are many twists and turns inside. She thought that the conditions are a little better now.

If you have the conditions, you can learn more along the way.

Liu Caixia went shopping with her mother Liu, Liu Caiyun, Liu Xiaomei and Liu Xiaolu.

There were quite a lot of them in the group, so there was no need to go everywhere together. They could just walk around separately and get to know the markets and various aspects of the situation at that time.

Father Liu decided the approximate time and place for everyone to gather, and then they would leave the city together.

After Liu Caixia entered the store, she looked around. There were some ready-made clothes hanging on the walls on both sides of the store, supported by wooden racks.

There is also a wooden table in the middle, and two rows of clothes are placed on the rectangular table.

Directly opposite the door is a counter, where a shopkeeper and two waiters are greeting customers.

After Liu Caixia went in, the two waiters were busy, so the shopkeeper took the initiative to come out and greet Liu Caixia, although Liu Caixia's clothes were not very gorgeous at that time.

But her years of wealthy life have given her a different temperament. Although she has been tempered by this period of time, she still gives people the feeling of a rich person.

"Ma'am, what do you want to see? We just got a new batch of furs in our store. Winter is coming soon, and they are perfect for making scarves."

Liu Caixia: "Thank you, boss. We want to choose some boots! Can you recommend some?"

Boots are currently in short supply and in urgent need. Although Liu Xiaolu has some boots in her space, the number is not large, and the styles are too trendy, which is far from the boots of the time.

We can only release it after they settle down and find ways to improve it.

Now buy everyone a pair of boots from this era to wear on the road.

"Yes, this way please. We currently have dry boots, leather boots, single boots and cotton boots."

The shopkeeper took them to the counter on the left and introduced the types and styles of boots to them one by one.

There was a row of boots on the counter. At first glance, they were quite different from what they saw on TV dramas. Liu Caixia really didn't understand much, and of course none of the other people who came didn't understand either.

In the end, Liu Caixia was the only one who made the decision. She had no choice but to ask the boss: "Boss, which one is the most comfortable to wear? We are going to visit relatives and we will have to travel for a while, so we need the most comfortable boots to walk in. Please recommend some. I need about 20 pairs!"

When the shopkeeper heard that she wanted twenty pairs, his eyes lit up and he introduced them more enthusiastically: "Madam, don't worry, our boots are very comfortable to wear. If you are going to travel in a hurry, I recommend this kind of short boots. The boots reach the calf, which can keep you warm and are relatively light. It is most suitable to wear them when traveling in this season. Take a look!"

Liu Caixia took the boots handed to her by the shopkeeper and looked at them carefully. The soles of shoes at that time were relatively hard. This pair of short boots was indeed okay and was lighter in the hand than other boots.

"Boss, how much are these boots? What sizes are available? Do you have children's sizes?"

On the other side, a waiter's customer had already left, and the shopkeeper immediately called him over: "Ershun, come here, go to the storeroom and get all the short boots. This lady wants a lot, bring them here and let her choose. Madam, can you wait for a moment?"

Liu Caixia: "Sure, thank you."

"No trouble, it should be!"

After hearing what he said, the waiter immediately walked to the right corner, lifted a curtain and went in. After a while, he came out with two bamboo boxes in one hand, put the boxes on the ground, opened them, revealing the boots inside.

The boots were neatly placed in the box. Although it was a bit crowded, they were preserved as intact as possible.

"Ma'am, come and see. Together with the ones outside, all the boots are here."

Liu Caixia squatted down and rummaged through the boots in the box. Her mother and Liu Caixia also squatted down to look together. Liu Xiaolu held Liu Xiaomei's hand and looked around on the side.

"Boss, how much is a pair of these short boots? We'll buy them all. Please give us a more favorable price!"

"Madam, you know the current prices. In a bad year, prices are bound to be higher. Usually a pair of ordinary cloth shoes costs 20 or 30 cents, but now it has risen to 40 cents.

The price of boots is definitely higher than usual. Madam, you want a lot, so I'll give you a reasonable price of 100 wen a pair, which is calculated based on the previous price. Now they are basically sold for 120 to 150 wen a pair."

"What about the children's?"

"Children's shoes are half price, and shoe sizes larger than six inches are all adult prices."

After hearing the price, Liu's mother whispered in Liu Caixia's ear: "Don't buy it for Xiaomei and the other two children. The price is really expensive. We should save money. They usually take the bus and don't need to get off to walk. They can just wear ordinary cloth shoes that cost ten cents a pair."

Liu Caixia nodded and said, "Okay, I've been thinking about this as well. I guess ordinary people can't afford these boots. They're only for people with a little money. Consumables like boots are really not cheap."

Liu Caixia thought for a while and said, "Boss, we only want adult sizes. We thought that children spend most of their time sitting in the car and don't walk much, so we don't want to waste the money right now. Let us see, I want a total of 21 pairs. The sizes are..."

Liu Caixia reported the approximate sizes of everyone in their group, which had been counted before, but was converted into the sizes of this era.
