Chapter 89

After the sweet potatoes were sold out, Zhou Jiani stopped holding group sales and saved the corn and red dates for next time.

I clicked on the service page and looked at the piggy bank.

Every time she had new income, she would withdraw an excess amount and let the system deduct the corresponding conversion fee, so that the number left on the page would belong entirely to her.

The relatively large batch of goods was sold out two days ago. After deducting the cost and cash conversion fees, that batch alone increased her income by more than 10,000 yuan.

Tonight's batch of goods consisted mostly of cowpeas, 70 kilograms, which were sold for a little over 2,000 yuan. Half of them were bought by group members, who deducted a handling fee of more than 1 yuan.

Including other items, this group buying tonight sold a total of over 4,000 items.

Zhou Jiani still followed the normal operation to withdraw the excess amount. After receiving the system prompt, she deducted the currency conversion fee. Now the money in the piggy bank alone is close to 24,000 yuan.

Looking at this number, I rolled over in bed with joy. The higher the number, the more at ease I feel.

When she returned to the group, she saw the crayfish that had been shared countless times. This time, she couldn't help it anymore and decisively bought one and started eating it right away.

She also gave me two pairs of disposable gloves. Of course, even if she didn't give them to me, she already had them on the shelf. She bought a few boxes last time to keep as a backup.

"Finally, I can enjoy spicy crayfish!"

Zhou Jiani no longer paid attention to the excitement in the group. She was busy sucking on the crayfish, which was a very satisfying experience. If she had a real mobile phone or tablet, and saved some movies or TV series for her to watch, she would definitely enjoy eating the crayfish even more.

I was so intoxicated by the food that I opened a bottle of kvass, but it just needed to be a little chilled, otherwise it would have been so delicious.

A two-pound portion of crayfish actually didn't have much meat. After eating it, Zhou Jiani ate a sugar triangle and drank the rest of the drink, ending her dinner.

Before going to bed at night, I checked the doors and windows, moved a chair in the room to prop the door, and then fell asleep.

After falling asleep, Zhou Jiani saw that world of words again.

Actually, she had only entered that world of texts when she traveled through time. What she saw most clearly in that cursory glance were the readers' comments. She didn't see much of the textual content. There was just a sense in her heart telling her that she was a supporting character in a book.

She had never seen those words since then, and she was so focused on changing her trajectory and getting rid of Liu Ailing that she even forgot that this was a world in a book and that she was once a supporting character in the control group.

But after falling asleep tonight, the familiar scene came again. It was just that it flashed too fast, and figures with unclear faces like silhouettes whizzed past her eyes densely. She was woken up before she could even see them clearly.

When I opened my eyes, the light in the room was different from last night, and it was obviously much brighter.

She looked at the time, it was 7:20 in the morning. Maybe other guests were checking out and shouted something in the corridor, waking her up.

Zhou Jiani sat up with her eyes half closed.

After the noise of people checking out outside stopped, she lay back down and took a nap. When she opened her eyes again, it was half past eight. It was still the vibration on her palm that woke her up.

I sat up, joined the group, grabbed two red envelopes, and then sat there in a daze for a while.

She didn't even figure out whether last night's dream was just a dream, or whether she really saw the world in the book. However, it was in vain. She only remembered countless words and figures surrounding her, and didn't see clearly what they were.

Zhou Jiani got dressed and went out to get some water to wash up. When she came back she ate two slices of bread. She had a candy triangle left over from last night, which she also ate for breakfast, and drank a box of milk.

There are two steamed buns in the warehouse, and they must be eaten today.

When she was planning, she couldn't help but complain. Every time the system was upgraded, there would be more trash cans and more channels. It would be great if they could at least upgrade the warehouse and add a preservation function.

Judging by the hardness of the candy triangles I ate this morning, the upgrade really hasn't reached this level.

I tidied up the house briefly, put on my bag and went out. When I arrived at the department store, it had just opened.

There weren't many people at the main entrance of the department store, but there was a long queue in front of the small door in the grocery area. Zhou Jiani took a look and saw that people who were walking towards this side after shopping were holding a bundle of rice noodles in their hands. Only then did she realize that the supply from the city had arrived, and those who had tickets were queuing up to buy them.

She didn't have the corresponding ticket, nor did she have the booklet for city residents to receive non-staple food, so she probably couldn't buy anything from that window even with money.

I remembered that she had worked as a rice paper artist for a period of time.

In her previous life, after marrying into Pan Village, she was also a bit lazy at first, but she got motivated after having a child. In order to support her family, she went to Xigou Village to find someone to learn how to make rice noodle. She made it at home a few times and sold it to the county rice noodle factory to earn a meager income.

Not long after she started doing it, someone in the village spread rumors about her, saying that she had an unclear relationship with the people in Xigou Village, otherwise why would they teach her how to make rice noodle?

She had clearly told Wang Bin that she had learned how to make rice noodle from Aunt Gao from Xigou Village, but he still believed the rumors and attacked her. She fought back and both of them drew blood before they stopped.

But that bastard Wang Bin refused to let her make rice noodles again and poured all the starch she had made into the pigpen. The two of them then had another fight.

The matter of making rice noodle was left unfinished.

It had been such a long time, and if she hadn't seen them queuing up to buy rice noodle wrappers today, she would have almost forgotten her brief experience of making rice noodle wrappers.

Zhou Jiani took out a pen and wrote the words "Fenpi", "Xigou Village", and "Gao Zhenfeng's Home" in the small notebook.

After returning home, Zhao Mei asked her elder brother from her mother's family to help her go to the Gao family in Xigou Village to ask for some rice noodles.

In my previous life, when I went to the Gao family to learn the craft, I heard Aunt Gao mention that starting from the first few years, she made some rice noodles every year and sold them to the county rice noodle factory to supplement the family income. Calculating the time, didn’t it start from that time?

In addition to rice noodles, I also asked fellow villagers to buy some dried loofah sponges. In later generations, many loofah sponges used for washing dishes were bought online.

He put away the notebook, reached into his bag, and took out a woven bag from the warehouse so that he could pack things in it later.

By the way, I went into the group to take a look. Someone happened to have started a group selling peeled and flavorful melon seeds. Zhou Jiani joined the group and grabbed two kilograms. After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, she reached into her schoolbag and took the goods out directly.

Each bag contained half a pound of melon seeds, which were packed in transparent sealed bags. Zhou Jiani opened one of the bags, grabbed a few handfuls and put them into the melon seed bag, then scanned and put them into the warehouse.

He took out two more stacks of tickets and picked through them. There were cloth tickets, industrial tickets, cake tickets, meat tickets, soap tickets, fermented tofu tickets, a bench ticket, two two-liang wine tickets, and two half-jin tea tickets.

The food coupons were not taken out, but were bundled separately and placed in another small box.

When she was collecting money, she accepted everyone who came to her, otherwise she wouldn't have such a rich collection.

Some of the ones that are about to expire need to be used up first.

When she came in today, she didn't have the same feeling as yesterday. Zhou Jiani even calmed herself down and felt it carefully. After finding no abnormal reaction, she walked towards the tea counter.

She first used the tea ticket to buy a pound of tea, and then she persuaded the teller to give her two handfuls of melon seeds and let him sell her a pound of tea leaves.

Tea leaves do not require tickets, but they are also a scarce commodity, so people usually keep them for themselves or give them to acquaintances. After a long time of searching, I finally got them.

I used the bench ticket to buy a wooden bench, put it in a woven bag and carried it.

Fermented tofu is sold in bulk, but Zhou Jiani had empty cans and used up the fermented tofu tickets.

Next, I bought a bar of soap and two pounds of peach cakes.

You can keep the wine ticket.

After buying all these miscellaneous things, I started purchasing goods.

The raid ended at 10:30 in the morning. When the purchase was finished, we went out to find a place to store the things in the warehouse and prepared to go to West Second Lane, Gongqingtuan Road.

In her previous life, when she went shopping in the city, her neighbor told her that her brother from her mother's family had walked all night carrying half a bag of grain and came to the city to secretly exchange it for money.

The location mentioned at that time was the West Second Lane of Gongqingtuan Road.

In addition to the West Second Lane of Gongqingtuan Road, there is also the street behind the People's Hospital, where many people buy and sell things privately.

Gongqingtuan Road is about half an hour's walk from here. There was no rush anyway, so Zhou Jiani just strolled while eating melon seeds. She raised her hands and took a few photos along the way. Well, the lens cannot be switched, but the palm can be turned over. Zhou Jiani tried to take a few close-up photos of herself, and the effect was pretty good.

Even if you can't export it, if the cheat code is still there, you can still look at your portrait photo at that time in the future.

Even if someone riding a bicycle passed by along the way, it would inevitably feel a little strange to see her gesturing with her hands raised.

Rushing to West Second Lane, Zhou Jiani took out the empty woven bag and walked in cautiously.

Master Zhou went in and out of this alley three times, working for more than an hour in total. He left at around noon and went to a nearby state-owned restaurant to eat.

After a night's rest, the discomfort caused by yesterday's car ride had disappeared, and she could eat as much as she wanted again. She ordered a plate of braised pork, which was 4 taels and cost one yuan and 15 cents. She also asked for a bowl of millet porridge, and ate the steamed buns she brought with her.

While waiting for the food, she checked the group and saw that someone had started a fruit group, but she only grabbed the figs at the end.

After opening the channel connecting the two groups, the sellers' goods sold out quickly, and if you want to buy something, you really have to be fast.

The dad shoes, men's cotton socks, shorts, and the small fan of the group behind him all passed by.

The link to the second group came in, and they were selling hand-peeled small watermelons. Zhou Jiani grabbed three of them. She liked the size and could show off one at a meal.

Her meal was ready. When she went to serve the food, she took out an empty lunch box from her schoolbag and handed it to her. She also ordered a portion of Mu Shu pork to take away.

This way she won't go out when she returns to the guesthouse at night.

After dinner, I wandered around the alley behind the People's Hospital until around four in the afternoon...

In the Qianjin Brigade, Sun Ping went back to the educated youth site to get some things. When she was leaving, she happened to meet Liu Ailing coming back and greeted her politely.

After all, they would be living in the same house and eating from the same pot, so it was impossible not to communicate. But she also felt that Liu Ailing was a very thoughtful person, so she just needed to be prepared and do her best on the surface.

Liu Ailing forced a smile at her.

After walking a few steps, he met Meng Jiandi who was coming back and greeted her as well.

When I was about to leave the hospital, I heard Meng Jiandi talking to Liu Ailing: "Hey? Ailing is back. I thought you were going to go shopping in town..."

In the room, Liu Ailing responded stiffly, her expression not looking very good.

After Meng Jiandi left, she sat on the edge of the kang, biting her lips hard.

Today she went to the farm again and met Zhao Weiguo. She used to think he was a righteous man, but she didn't expect him to be such a loser.

The farm actually refused to implement the greenhouse plan.

She didn't want to stay in the Advance Brigade anymore. There was no way out for her here. The more dazzling Zhou Jiani was, the more invisible she would be, like dust.

But it would be fine if she just didn't get seen, but almost everyone was very subtle with her.

If she wants to get back on her feet, she has to change her place.

Originally, Zhao Weiguo's plan to report Zhou Jiani failed, and she thought that this man was ruined, but that day she suddenly thought that Zhao Weiguo going to the farm might not be a bad thing.

She could help Zhao Weiguo make some achievements on the farm first, and after he had laid a solid foundation, she could let Zhao Weiguo find a suitable opportunity to tell the farm leaders that it was Liu Ailing who came up with the idea. It would be best if the farm leaders recognized her ability, and then find a way to apply to the commune to take her over.

As long as she leaves the advance team, she can pave the way for herself again and slowly emerge.

As a result, she started off badly and was kicked out of the team by that old man Zhang Baosheng. Unexpectedly, Zhao Weiguo failed even more and even said that he was unwilling to go to the leader again.

She didn't want to give up even after being kicked out of the team, but Zhao Weiguo gave up.

Liu Ailing took a deep breath and cursed, "You useless piece of shit! You wouldn't even copy the good homework."
