Moreover, those who have time to browse the market are generally homemakers in their forties or fifties. They mainly handle the household chores. Thus, when they’re shopping in the market for groceries, if they find shampoo or similar items cheaper than at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, they naturally seize the opportunity to stock up. After all, these are things always needed at home, and they don’t expire if stored at home, so it’s practical to buy more when there’s a discount. Hence, Jiang Xin quickly decided on the new products she wanted to sell the next day, which included shampoo, conditioner, soap, and facial cleansers. As for perfume, she thought about it and felt a bit conflicted. In this era, perfumes are not uncommon; they are sold in the Department Store. Although they are expensive, the quantity is small, so ordinary families wouldn’t buy them. They are not very practical, more of a luxury item. Besides, the scents are honestly quite overpowering, as the technology wasn’t very advanced at that time. However, the perfumes in her space are different. They come from future generations, carefully selected among various brands, and are of top quality. The main issue is that people in this era don’t have much purchasing power. Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 And the homemakers who come to the market aren’t the type to dress up lavishly. They are practical and thrifty people, so to have them spend a lot on a bottle of perfume is unrealistic. Jiang Xin understood this concept well. Her dilemma was that women understand women best, and no matter the time, women love beauty. Regardless of age, they pursue beauty and elegance. So, if she displayed the perfumes, perhaps someone might buy them. Today’s sales were expected to be poor, but the results turned out completely opposite, with good feedback. This suggests that the perfumes in her space do have potential. She could try it out; if they don’t sell, she could just take them back without any loss. For some reason, Jiang Xin had a gut feeling that the perfumes would sell well. Her intuition told her to try, as success could mean significant profit. So she decisively took out fifteen bottles of perfume from the shelves in her space, planning to try selling them at the market tomorrow. If it works, she could price them lower to attract more buyers. After all, they are from her space and cost her nothing; they are practically endless. There’s no real loss. As long as they’re affordable, sales won’t be a problem. Jiang Xin spent half the day sorting and finally prepared the products she needed to take to the market the next day. Apart from the existing products, she added these new items, now just hoping for good sales tomorrow. This afternoon, she stayed in to avoid seeing Mrs. Fu, which would affect her mood. Thus, Jiang Xin didn’t leave her room, and naturally, Mrs. Fu wouldn’t call her for dinner, as she didn’t even prepare a portion for her. Jiang Xin didn’t expect her to. With Mrs. Fu’s hostile attitude, Jiang Xin honestly didn’t dare eat her food, fearing it might be poisoned. By around five in the evening, Jiang Xin wasn’t particularly hungry, but it was mealtime, so she needed to eat something. She checked her room door. After arguing with Mrs. Fu earlier, she had locked it upon returning to her room. Inspecting it again put her at ease, so that if she went into her space, Mrs. Fu wouldn’t unexpectedly enter and discover her absence, creating a big issue. During their argument, she clearly heard Mrs. Fu mention the new clothes in her wardrobe. Jiang Xin was thus sure that while she was out, Mrs. Fu secretly entered her room and rummaged through her wardrobe. How else would she know the clothes still had tags? This was quite suspicious. Jiang Xin thought she was clever to have anticipated Mrs. Fu. She had early on hidden the original owner’s valuables in her space, where only she could access them. Even if Mrs. Fu rummaged through her room, at most, she’d find some inexpensive clothes. But to be honest, Mrs. Fu entering without permission and rummaging was indeed very bothersome. These were her belongings, and Jiang Xin hated anyone touching her things. She had a cleanliness issue and worried if things got disorganized, she’d be frustrated when she couldn’t find things later. Jiang Xin looked at the lock, ensuring it was secure from the inside; no one could enter from the outside, ensuring safety. After confirming, Jiang Xin cheerfully entered her space, planning to find something to cook for dinner. In her past life, during the apocalypse, she survived with this space. Her space was a treasure, filled with all kinds of food, cookware, and gas, allowing her to cook and fill her stomach. Yet, despite that, Jiang Xin rarely utilized it. She wasn’t a good cook and was rather lazy, usually settling for instant meals, saying it was the apocalypse, so why worry about meals? Surviving was already good enough! However, she had now traveled through time. After significant events, one’s mindset can change dramatically. Currently, she was dissatisfied with her past lifestyle. She realized that in life, you must seize the day.
