Cooking oil, soy sauce, and some various odds and ends—these things cost Meng Yunhan ten yuan, plus some coupons.
As for meat, it was completely beyond reach because she only had money, no meat tickets.
With some spare time, Meng Yunhan found out about a junk station managed by an old man. She slipped him a dollar for the same reason she had before, she browsed a bit, then finally left with her textbook.
They agreed to meet there and wait, which didn't keep Meng Yunhan waiting too long.
Once at the military unit, Meng Yunhan took the things she bought back to the bungalow.
After putting away her purchases, she strolled around a nearby village, returning with two chickens, some eggs, and some vegetables in hand.
The young sentry standing guard, seeing Meng Yunhan's vegetables, straightened his back.
Because it was hot, apart from the sounds coming from the training field, there weren't many people around at this time.
