Then, Cheng Baoguo used up all the Cotton Tickets and Cloth Tickets. The saleswoman was an old acquaintance, actually the daughter-in-law of a certain cadre. She had been in this position for many years and, with her reminder, Cheng Baoguo found out about some defective cloth. He promptly bought two large pieces, totaling twenty feet of work cloth and twenty feet of cotton cloth, each half a bolt.
Seeing several brightly colored scarves hanging inside the counter, Cheng Baoguo bought a bright red one for Fubao, and also purchased a large piece of high-priced silk, which didn't require tickets, from the Hangzhou Silk Factory.
Erxiong dragged Dundun and Zhuangzhuang around in circles, not finding anything they liked, sullenly following behind them.
Cheng Baoguo turned around and asked Ye Yan, "What do you want to buy? Just say it."
