Chapter 5: It’s Okay, Not Too Expensive.

Jiang Xiangxiang readily agreed, watching him adjust the payment amount before instructing him to deliver the items to the Jiang family’s old house within a day.

Then, she continued walking.

She happened to be on a milk tea street, so she didn’t miss a single shop: Mixue, Heytea, Shanghai, Cha Yan Yue Se, and Cha Baidao.

She bought and bought and bought.

Soon, Jiang Xiangxiang had hoarded a pile of milk tea, all with a one-day delivery agreement. After some thought, she realized this method of purchasing wasn’t very convenient.

Jiang Xiangxiang turned her attention to the auto market, planning to buy a second-hand mini-van for a few thousand yuan, specifically for hauling goods.

This would make transportation much easier.

Fortunately, she had already obtained her driver’s license in her sophomore year, avoiding the embarrassment of not knowing how to drive. No matter what, it’s always good to learn more skills; you never know when you might need them.

Jiang Xiangxiang specifically chose a vehicle with a temporary license plate, drove it onto the street, and having bought most of the milk tea, she moved on to food.

This was very important.

Jiang Xiangxiang didn’t want to go through the hardship of not having enough to eat after time traveling, living in poverty. When studying history, she had learned that the 1970s were a poor and backward era.

At that time, the opening up and economic boom were still some time away. She needed to stock up on food. Besides, who knew what the situation would be like after she time-traveled?

Better safe than sorry.

After much deliberation, Jiang Xiangxiang went to a five-star hotel. The hygiene standards were guaranteed, and the food was good. She wasn’t sure how long she’d be storing it in her space.

She had to be fully prepared.

Speaking of which, Jiang Xiangxiang suddenly realized she hadn’t tested her space’s ability to maintain temperature.

Thinking this, Jiang Xiangxiang glanced at the milk tea the seller had given her in the passenger seat, and with a flash of thought, put it into her space, planning to take it out in half an hour.

By then, she had reached the five-star hotel. After a busy afternoon, it was just dinner time, so she ordered a table for herself and enjoyed the meal.

After entering, a waiter enthusiastically approached her.

“Miss, what would you like to order?”

“Do you have any signature dishes?” Jiang Xiangxiang felt a little embarrassed. She had never been to such a high-end place before, and felt a little out of place.

The waiter, with a standard smile, politely introduced the dishes.

Jiang Xiangxiang was impressed. As expected of a five-star hotel, even the waiters’ service attitude was so good. However, she had encountered many service staff with good attitudes while shopping.

Because of this, she was happy to shop.

Jiang Xiangxiang was very happy and readily ordered a large table of food. If she couldn’t finish it, she could put it in her space and eat it later as a midnight snack.

The waiter was stunned by her almost extravagant order.

“Um, are you sure?”

Jiang Xiangxiang nodded. “Yes, I’m sure. Just bring it on, I’ll try it first.”

The waiter, dazed, replied, “Okay… okay.”

Then, she arranged a private room for her to wait while she went to prepare the food.

Jiang Xiangxiang looked around the surroundings and waited leisurely. In the past, she was either busy studying or working, wholeheartedly wanting to repay the kindness of her Uncle’s family.

Now she realized how foolish she had been. Thinking about it, she felt sad.

Thinking that her family of three had passed away, she felt incredibly happy. Serves them right; this is called karma.

Her parents…

Thinking of her parents being murdered and her having mistakenly trusted the murderer for so many years, she felt incredibly sad. What kind of thing was this?

But this time, she had finally avenged herself. They could no longer harm her.

A ruthless look flashed in Jiang Xiangxiang’s eyes. She also had to find someone to open the safe and see what was inside.

While she was making plans, the food was served.

Jiang Xiangxiang looked up. It was enough for a banquet; the dishes were incredibly rich, including roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, pig head, pig face, pig knuckle, four-joy meatballs, sea cucumber, abalone, and everything else.

She couldn’t possibly finish it all by herself.

Jiang Xiangxiang felt embarrassed. She only picked out a few dishes to try. The taste was excellent. Truly, five-star hotels were worth the money; that concept never gets old.

After dinner, Jiang Xiangxiang called the waiter again to order food – 1000 tables worth.

That should be enough for three years.

Of course, Jiang Xiangxiang wouldn’t eat like this every meal. She would definitely be more restrained. One dish would be enough for her.

The waiter was very happy. No matter what, this was her achievement, and her commission for this month was secured. She quickly went to arrange it.

Jiang Xiangxiang felt relieved. When she checked out, it was very easy. One table cost 2000 yuan, and 1000 tables totaled 2,000,000 yuan.

It’s okay, not too expensive.

Next, she needed to stock up on food and vegetables. She could cook herself; Jiang Xiangxiang wasn’t someone who couldn’t do basic housework. She could cook basic meals.

However, the current task was to return to the old house, collect what she needed, and avoid being noticed.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiangxiang didn’t forget to schedule a pick-up time for the food – the next day. She would first study whether her space could preserve food.

If not, she would have to buy a refrigerator.

Oh right!

She needed to get everyday household appliances; otherwise, she wouldn’t even be able to maintain a minimum standard of living after time traveling.

The space hadn’t told her what kind of person she would become, otherwise she could have prepared more specifically. Now she could only guess and prepare.

Thinking about this, Jiang Xiangxiang suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She felt that she wouldn’t have enough things after time traveling. Therefore, after leaving the hotel, she went directly to the largest supermarket in the area. No matter what, she had to buy daily necessities first.

1000 boxes of toilet paper, 1000 boxes of facial tissues, 1000 boxes of wet wipes, and 1000 boxes of ordinary wet tissues – a total of 4000 boxes.

1000 boxes of sanitary napkins (daytime, nighttime, sleep pants, and panty liners) – a total of 5000 boxes.

1000 boxes of laundry powder, 1000 boxes of laundry detergent, 1000 boxes of underwear soap, 1000 boxes of ordinary soap, and 1000 boxes of underwear cleaner – a total of 5000 boxes.

1000 boxes of shampoo, 1000 boxes of shower gel, 1000 boxes of conditioner, 1000 boxes of body lotion, and 1000 boxes of hair oil – a total of 5000 boxes.

Jiang Xiangxiang bought while pondering. She needed items for adults and children. She also needed diapers, in case she got married and had children. In that era, diapers might be hard to come by, or might not even exist. She had to prepare more.

She bought 3000 boxes of diapers, which should be enough.

In addition, there was milk powder, rice cereal, and baby food. Since she was already buying diapers, she might as well buy milk powder. She bought all stages and brands.

After buying those, she also bought strollers, walkers, small blankets, small pillows, and other things for babies.

Jiang Xiangxiang looked at her shopping cart; it was overflowing. If she continued like this, she wouldn’t finish shopping until dawn.
