Chapter 13: Acting Like a Rogue on the Street
The supply and marketing co-op store is almost like a modern department store, selling all sorts of things, with goods neatly arranged on the shelves.
The shop is quite large, and every counter has a salesperson.
During this time in the 1980s, when the national economy wasn't great, it was quite hard to find a few overweight people on the streets.
But Gu Fuqiao noticed that the women working here seemed slightly plumper than most people outside.
"Miss, you've been wandering around for a while. What do you want to buy?" The woman at the fabric counter asked Gu Fuqiao after seeing her wandering around several times.
After all, in these days, people who have the leisure to browse the supply and marketing co-op for so long are rare.
Gu Fuqiao walked over to the fabric counter and had a look.
There were many things here that Gu Fuqiao found appealing, like those soap powders and hand-crafted soaps, which were quite expensive in later years.
However, she was most interested in the pure cotton fabrics.
In this era, the synthetic fiber fabric Terylene was popular, but other fabrics were pure cotton with no additives.
"I want to buy two feet of fabric," Gu Fuqiao said cheerfully.
