Yunyi figured her parcel definitely wouldn't arrive yet, so she didn't mention it and went straight to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative across the street with everyone else.
At this hour, which might also have been the start of the workday, there weren't many customers inside the cooperative.
After browsing for a while, Yunyi considered the inevitable social courtesies involved in entering the village. Consequently, she bought two packets of large biscuits and a pound of fruit hard candy. Seeing some local strong liquor that didn't require coupons, she also took two bottles.
Geng Erhong, being straightforward, asked, "Yunyi, what are you buying liquor for?"
While packing the items into her bag, Yunyi replied, "Liquor has many uses. I'm preparing some in advance. You never know when it might come in handy."
