It's fifty thousand dollars here. Outside the bank, Margot, who had just come out of it, got into the car and stuffed a large kraft paper bag into Josie's hand.

Hearing the number, Josie's hand trembled as he took the bag, almost missing it.

Immediately opened it and saw that there were indeed five stacks of hundred-yuan bills inside.

Why so much? Josie asked in a dazed way, holding the paper bag, didn't he say that a thousand or even a few thousand is enough.

And sister, alas, your heart is really big enough to not be afraid of being robbed.

Are you going to spend more? Anyway, you can just look at the flowers, and keep the more for yourself. There must be a lot of places for men to spend money outside. It's not a bad thing to put more money on them. Margot was on Josie's cheek. He took a sip and said affectionately.

With just such a sentence, Josie almost broke the defense.

What a good woman, thinking about the women in the future who will always ask for a car and a house, Josie is filled with emotion.

Sure enough, soft rice is fragrant.

At this time, Josh, in his heart, can say 10,000 thanks to Tony Wendis.

If this guy didn't act as a demon himself, which round would such a good woman get on him?

In return, Josie decides to make Tony Wendy's death a little more painful to help Margot.

Otherwise, he felt sorry for the affection of this pitiful beauty.

So Josie nodded and accepted the money without rejecting Margot's kindness.

Seeing this, Margot did not feel that he was greedy at all, but was happy to think that Josie had completely accepted him, instead of having to give himself money to live in a house like before.

By the way, let's go buy some clothes first. The quality of your clothes is still a little worse, and they don't match your handsome and handsome face. Well, the leather shoes have to be changed. Margot said excitedly while holding Josie. .

Okay, everything is up to you! Josie nodded and said, he didn't really care about what he wore, but in the face of this sweet and lovely girl, he really couldn't say anything to refuse.

I don't have any clothing coupons, though, Josie said.

Just like sugar and gasoline, even in the United States during this period, special clothing coupons are required to buy clothes and shoes.

Beginning in '42, every federal citizen will receive 24 clothing vouchers each year to buy clothes and shoes.

It seems like a lot, but do you think it is a clothing coupon that can buy a piece of clothing?

Not at all.

The actual standard is that you need 18 for a large coat, 26 for a full suit, 9 for a pair of shoes, 5 for slippers, 3 for petticoats (underwear dress), 8 for trousers, and a corset. 3 wait...

In other words, 24 clothing coupons for a person, under normal circumstances, want to buy a whole set from head to toe, in fact, it is not enough at all.

Among them, shoes are purchased under the real-name system. One person is limited to two pairs per year. If you want to buy more, you can only buy second-hand.

And ordinary clothes can be bought with coupons anyway, and some things can't even be bought.

What is it?

stockings.

That's right, stockings.

A fact that makes future generations a little ironic is that during World War II, stockings belonged to the same key strategic materials as sugar and gasoline.

why?

Because of the parachute.

Before the war, the main material source of the U.S. military's parachutes was not nylon, but silk from Asia.

But after the war with the foot pot chicken, the supply of silk was cut off, and the material of the parachute became nylon.

So at that time, all nylon manufacturers, including DuPont Group, were under the mandatory order of the federal government to stop making nylon by-products such as stockings, and instead all produced parachutes and other military materials needed by the military.

It is also from this time that the price of private stockings has skyrocketed, and the price has been fired to $20 a piece.

But this is just the beginning.

During World War II, when the price of stockings was the highest, it even reached a terrifying $4,000.

This is especially true in the 21st century, even the original flavor of those female stars would not dare to sell such high prices.

But even so, the output of nylon is still in short supply.

So the military has launched a fundraising campaign to the people...

Advertise with pictures of handsome guys in the military and call on all women to donate their stockings...

outrageous.

In fact, there are even more outrageous.

That is, according to a report by Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, the robbery targets of roadside robbers in the United States during the war were among the top three items without valuables such as dollars and gold.

The difference is drinks, stockings and shoes.

That's why, before, Josie would wear an ill-fitting coat on the street, because it was actually his father's clothes.

Even the clothes that Josie changed when she robbed the car, borrowed the car, and tracked and killed Joe Barbaro were mostly old clothes, so it wouldn't hurt to burn it.

As for the new ones, I just bought two or three sets when I had money a few days ago. It took two years of last year and this year (42, 43), and all the clothing coupons he and his deceased parents accumulated together. .

Thinking of this, Josie's gaze couldn't help but glance at Margot's smooth thigh, and couldn't help but stroke it.

Yesterday, Margot was wearing stockings, but he tore them up when he got up, and thinking about it now is a little painful.

There are a lot of people here, don't make trouble! Don't worry about the coupons, because you don't need them. Margot said, and then leaned into Josie's ear and whispered, If you can't help it, let's find a place with fewer people.

The soft words in his ear made Josie shiver uncontrollably.

Mom, this woman is really good.

No, no, I'm still at the age of growing up, so I can't exhaust the pond to fish.

So Josh decisively acted as if he didn't hear the words behind Margot, started the car, and drove towards the destination according to Margot's instructions.

After arriving at the place, Josie realized that the place Margot said to buy clothes was not a shopping mall.

It's the kind of high-end private custom clothing store that I've only heard of in my last life.

However, in this era, this type of custom clothing store has not done so much as later generations, and there is no such thing as not selling ready-to-wear.

After some tossing with the tailor in the hall, Margot helped Josh pick out three sets of ready-to-wear from the inside out, and made three more sets.

In the end, he did not use the ticket, but spoke with a thick stack of large bills.

Of course, there is also the interpersonal element of Margot herself as a chicago lady.

Therefore, the so-called shortage of materials and limited supply are actually aimed at ordinary people who are powerless and powerless.

After buying clothes, I went to another shoe store, which was the same operation.

During the period, I went to a watch shop and spent thousands of dollars to buy a Breguet watch.

Although in later generations, Breguet's reputation has been surpassed by Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and other brands that came from behind.

But in this era, Breguet is a unique watch king.

And now Breguet not only makes watches, makes various aviation and navigation instruments, but also makes fighter jets.

After some shopping and cleaning, Qiao Xi's whole body was completely refreshed. With his beautiful face and tall figure, as well as his self-confidence as a transmigrator, his temperament has been sublimated.

From the original civilian handsome guy, he has transformed into a modern noble son.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, the ancients honestly did not deceive me.
