If Jiang Xia were to work here, she would also choose to knit a sweater while sitting.

After all, the supermarket is a state-owned enterprise now. I’ve come in and I’ve done your work. You can’t fire me, can you?

But the annoying thing is, even though the customers come to spend money, the salespeople act as if they are the ones in charge, resulting in a bad shopping experience for the customers.

As Jiang Xia walked along, she had seen this attitude in several shop assistants.

When someone comes to buy something, they either act rudely or mutter under their breath, with unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, Jiang Xia was not in a hurry and decided to browse first.

Last time, Jiang Xia planned to use the cloth ticket to make new clothes for Zhou Lan and Jiang Chuan.

Ever since the family transmigrated, they had been wearing ragged clothes until now. Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu were lucky to have received old clothes from Wang Ping.

Zhou Lan, considering that they would be going to school and they doesn’t have enough cloth, had exchanged their cloth tickets for fabric and made two sets of clothes for them.

As a result, Zhou Lan and Jiang Chuan were still wearing old clothes, which were in tatters. It was not a good look.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia immediately suggested to Jiang Chuan that they should go and get new clothes for him and Zhou Lan.

Though Jiang Chuan didn’t say much, he was delighted inside.

Ah, his own daughter is really considerate. He hasn’t raised her in vain! But the problem that followed was, it’s not like the future where you can buy clothes with money. Now, you need cloth tickets to buy clothes.

“But we only have three feet of cloth tickets. I’m afraid it’s not enough.”

“It’s okay, if it’s not enough, we will get more. We’ve sold the wild vegetables today, and we’re not worried about future sales. Dad, how about we get more cloth tickets today and everyone wears new clothes?”

Encouraged by his own daughter, Jiang Chuan felt reenergized.

“Alright! But getting cloth in the shopping mall is not easy.”

Jiang Chuan was correct. Even if the shopping mall had cloth that no one else wanted, they wouldn’t get a chance at it. Either the store assistants kept it for themselves, or someone else had already claimed it.

Just like how extreme the discounts can get in modern day stores, that’s how extreme it gets when people line up to buy cloth in shopping mail during these times.

Good fabric is quite pricey, so the unwanted fabric in the stores becomes a hot commodity. Who doesn’t yearn for some extra fabric to craft new clothes for festive occasions?

Wearing a set of good clothes gives you a good impression wherever you go.

Jiang Xia also thought about the problem Jiang Chuan raised. She thought for a moment and then suddenly had an idea, “Why don’t we go to the clothing factory and have a look?”

Jiang Xia’s idea came from some period dramas and TV shows she watched when preparing for her college entrance exam. She remembered that there were people in those shows who specifically collected unwanted cloth from factories.

They don’t know the people in the shopping mall, so they might as well go directly to the factory. Maybe they could meet someone nice there.

“Alright! We’ll follow my daughter’s plan. If that doesn’t work, we can always trade something with them.”

After thinking about it, the father and daughter decided that it would be more practical to exchange things with people. Anyway, there were a lot of wild vegetables in the interspace. The wild rabbits were slowly growing, and there were still two roe deers.

Oh yes, there were some oil and eggs and such in Jiang Chuan’s interspace too, they shouldn’t waste them.

“This won’t do. We should keep the oil for ourselves. And not this either, Xiao Gu has only eaten a few pieces of chocolate.”

After some consideration, Jiang Xia decided to only keep the eggs, and told Jiang Chuan to put the rest back.

Just these items wouldn’t be enough to exchange for a lot of cloth. After thinking it over, Jiang Xia returned to her interspace and saw that the fish she had just caught had grown quite a bit after drinking the water in the interspace.

After discussing with Jiang Chuan, Jiang Xia decided to catch two more fish to take to the factory.

Once they decided what to take, Jiang Xia and Jiang Chuan left the shopping mall. After asking around a bit, they found the clothing factory.

When they arrived at the clothing factory, Jiang Xia took out a few eggs and learned everything she needed to know from the gatekeeper.

The clothing factory rarely messed up their products, and even if they did, there were always people waiting to buy them. So, it turned out they had come to the wrong place.

Seeing Jiang Xia’s disappointed face, the gatekeeper didn’t feel right about accepting their eggs for nothing. So he pointed them in the right direction, suggesting they check out the cotton spinning factory instead..
