When Tian Tian saw Li Jiuniang coming to stop her, she was stunned for a moment. Then, when she heard Li Jiuniang asking her about the opera, she kind of understood. No one wanted to miss this excitement.
Li Jiuniang also heard about this from other people, but it was impossible for other people to tell Li Jiuniang the details, so Li Jiuniang came over to ask Tian Tian.
"I heard there will be a duo performance tonight in the next team four, but I don't know what time it is," said Tian Tian.
She didn't want to hide this matter from Li Jiuniang. It wasn't a big deal. As long as Li Jiuniang was patient and asked other people, he would be able to find out.
Their team did not avoid the educated youth as much as one might imagine. They were still able to talk to them briefly.
But Li Jiuniang didn't seem to like dealing with other people in the team. Whenever there was something, he would come to ask Tian Tian.
Tian Tian didn't mind either. Sometimes when something came down from the mountain, Tian Tian would take the initiative to ask Li Jiuniang if he wanted it. After all, Li Jiuniang had a lot of good things, while Tian Tian had less and less every day.
The things she gave to Li Jiuniang were not given for free. Li Jiuniang also gave her a lot of things.
Tian Tian felt that this was just right. She could trade the things she picked on the mountain with Li Jiuniang on an equal basis, and no one would feel burdened.
If it was something at home, she would listen to Old Lady Tian and make a deal with Li Jiuniang. If it wasn't something big, she would basically give it all to Li Jiuniang for free.
"So are you going over tonight?"
"I will definitely go! There's nothing wrong with staying at home." Tian Tian said without hesitation.
"Okay! I get it!" Li Jiuniang said, "By the way, isn't everyone going up the mountain to pick up mountain products recently? Do you have any extra? If you do, I'll trade with you. What do you want?"
Tian Tian hesitated after hearing this. All she had exchanged with Li Jiuniang before were seasonings like salt and soy sauce, as well as other daily necessities like matches, candles, towels, and toothbrushes.
She couldn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county to buy them now. She needed light to study in the space at night, and she needed to light a fire to cook when she was hungry.
She is now running out of portable gas tanks, so she may have to cook with firewood only in the future.
Her lighter was almost used up, so she wanted to get more matches and candles, so she exchanged a lot of them with Li Jiuniang.
Otherwise, there are school supplies such as pencils and notebooks.
The main thing is that she can't ask Li Jiuniang for things that are beyond the capabilities of the current era, nor can she ask for things that are too precious in this era, otherwise it will be easy for Li Jiuniang to find out. She can only ask for those things that can be used in daily life and are not too unusual.
Sometimes Li Jiuniang would give Tian Tian some money and tickets, but the amount Tian Tian gave Li Jiuniang would not be too much, just a few kilograms, and not much money or tickets either.
Now Tian Tian wants some white sugar. The white sugar in her shells has been almost used up. Now she has pear blossoms, apples, and hawthorns. Tian Tian wants to make some candied fruits and jams.
But sugar was too precious at that time. Not only was the price very high, but the quantity in the supply and marketing cooperatives was also very small.
Tian Tian was too embarrassed to ask Li Jiuniang for this. She thought for a long time and finally said hesitantly, "Do you have saccharin? Give me some saccharin."
Although saccharin does not sound like a good thing, it is indeed a substitute for white sugar. It tastes like sugar and is not as expensive as white sugar. A little bit can equal a lot of white sugar. Everyone likes to buy saccharin.
The only drawback is that you need to control the amount of saccharin used. If you put too much, the sweetness will taste bitter.
But this is not a disadvantage for Tian Tian. Making jam requires a lot of white sugar, but using saccharin does not require that much.
