Zhang Shanni multitasked, using her spiritual power to survey the surroundings while her actions were speedy; she bought five sanitary napkins in one breath. She could store the extras in the Space for emergencies—though she didn’t need them, it was necessary to keep up appearances outside!
Then she remembered the special request from her future mother-in-law and obediently bought a piece of bright red floral fabric enough for a top. It was this pattern that she had reluctantly picked out from the pile of red fabrics, which still cost her two two-foot-long cloth tickets.
Thinking about the only two old clothes Xie Jingchen had at home, she felt she should get some fabric for him. She didn’t know how to sew, but the original owner did!
The original owner had taken on all household tasks and had two sisters who were constantly changing their looks, desiring beauty. When they merely talked about it, the original owner would have to stay up all night to make clothes, shoes, and even handkerchiefs, towels, etc., for them!
At this moment, Zhang Shanni also had to thank these two "excellent" sisters for training the original owner to be nearly omniscient, which saved her a lot of trouble!
Of course, she only had the memories, and she still needed to practice the tactile skills on her own. But having the memories saved her a lot of effort!
She wasn’t really fond of the floral fabrics of the time, but they were popular, and she could only go with the flow! The fabrics she bought were not for her own use; she could make them for her little aunt or niece, so they wouldn’t go to waste.
The main thing was, the special fabrics in this corner didn’t require tickets! This was a delightful surprise for Zhang Shanni! She knew that the nationwide cloth tickets Xie Jingchen brought back totaled only seven, each just two feet long. She had just gritted her teeth and spent two, and she couldn’t bear to spend the rest!
Considering the scarcity of ticket certificates in this era, she didn’t know how many favors Xie Jingchen had traded to get them. And yet, she didn’t value the products of this era! Just when she was feeling the pain, there were cloth tickets that didn’t cost big silver coins?! Heaven, this was too perfect—buy, buy, buy!
Floral, pink, light blue, black, gray, and dark green fabrics, some were good, some bad—the cotton fabrics were unevenly dyed, appearing to have shades that were darker in some areas and lighter in others, with several hues appearing on a single piece of fabric.
After all, they were cheap and only cost big silver coins! In addition to Zhang Shanni choosing, there were young ladies, sisters-in-law, and aunties all vying furiously at the forefront to select and claim the best.
Originally hesitant, Zhang Shanni eventually chose quite a few without courtesy.
This was because she heard several customers saying the colors were good and cheap, adding that it’s been a long time since they saw such affordable and attractive fabrics. Among them were older aunties, which showed the fabric was indeed a lucky find for her!
Taking advantage of Xie Jingchen’s absence, she picked out some fabric remnants, thread remnants, and cloth for shoe soles in the ’special price’ section [requiring big silver but no tickets]. There were only three colors of ready-made cloth shoes: bright red, blue, and black. Considering she was about to be married, she steeled herself and chose bright red. If she didn’t like it, she could use the embroidery skills she learned from Aunt to add some color!
