Chapter 227 Current Status of the Space-Time Gate
Everyone subconsciously touched the armor on their bodies. Since they set out on the road, they had worn the armor next to their inner clothes and were determined not to take it off.
Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Shen Yi turned to comfort them, "The good news is that it will be almost the New Year when we arrive at the border. According to the agreement, we will stop fighting and continue fighting after the busy farming season in the spring, so we have a few months to adjust."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, "We don't have to go to the battlefield right away!"
"I don't know what the situation is at home right now!" Ye An muttered, and everyone heard it.
Shen Yi couldn't help but think of his wife and children at home, his eyes full of longing.
Su Tai, whom he was thinking about, was sitting in the main room with Ke Yunyun and Xiao Xi, making clothes and shoes for the children.
In the cold winter, the village was eerily quiet, and every household had their doors closed. Su Tai was no exception. She closed both doors with two large wooden bolts, keeping them tightly shut.
Since no one came to visit, Ke Yunyun and the other two didn't have to hide anything and just moved around in the yard openly.
Su Tai built a large square table in the corner of the main room, which was not too high. She covered it with mats and bedding so that the three children could run, jump and play on it without worrying about falling.
There are also some small toys that Shen Yi made for them, which can keep the children entertained for most of the day.
Ke Yunyun looked up at the children from time to time, her eyes full of satisfaction, "Cousin, what are our plans for the New Year?"
Su Tai pondered for a moment and asked her, "How did you live in the past?"
Ke Yunyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "My identity is not to be seen in public, so I can only stay in the small courtyard. Before I had a child, I was with Xiaoxi, and it didn't matter whether I lived there or not. After I had a child, my uncle and his family came to live with me, and it became much more lively.
Master Zhu also paid a lot of attention to it. He had no worries about food and clothing, but his life was restrained. He didn't dare to be too high-profile, and he didn't dare to cook food with strong smells, for fear that the smell would drift to the neighbors' homes and attract people.
Hey! It was better when I was in the ice field. Although my family was poor and we lacked this and that, I could laugh when I wanted to laugh and cry when I wanted to cry. My parents, elder brother and second brother would try their best to satisfy me. However, there are gains and losses. I am in much better health now, and I have Kangcheng, so I am content.
Where is my cousin? How did she celebrate the New Year?
Su Tai had not planned to celebrate the event, but after hearing what Ke Yunyun said, she changed her mind, "I didn't mention it at my parents' house before, but since I married Chen Yi, every New Year's Day, we always have fish, meat, vegetables, and many snacks. I cook whatever I want to eat, and your brother-in-law is not picky about food, so he always eats what I want.
See the stone mortar in the yard? We make rice cakes every year. There are only a few stone mortars in the village, and our family occupies one. We can eat whatever we want, and we set off fireworks after the New Year's Eve dinner.
I don’t know if anyone in the village is setting off fireworks this year. If they are, we will set them off too. If not, we can set off firecrackers ourselves and play with some small fireworks. How do you think that is?”
Ke Yunyun looked longing and nodded excitedly.
Because of her change of mind, Su Tai had to sneak into the gate of time and space again.
Previously, a large amount of armor and medicine was prepared for Shen Yi and the others, and several million virtual coins were spent. The Gold Space was successfully upgraded, unlocking the customization of non-powered transportation (cars, boats), the Fire Space was upgraded, unlocking a snack street, and the Wood Space was upgraded, unlocking a large tea wholesale market.
Customized non-powered transportation (cars, boats) is useless to her at the moment. It will not be useful in the short term, and she has not yet studied it in detail.
The snack street is a good place to go. There are dozens of shops on the street selling food, from self-service hot pot and barbecue to breakfast buns and steamed buns shops. There are all kinds of food from all over the east, west, south and north. There are also dozens of stalls on both sides of the road, doing small businesses, with a strong sense of worldly life.
With this great place, she doesn’t have to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner herself, just spending some virtual currency will be enough.
If she wants to upgrade the Fire Spacetime again, she needs to spend at least 200,000 virtual coins here, so she has to find ways to spend more money.
The large tea wholesale market in Mu Shikong is even more amazing. It not only includes various famous teas such as white tea, black tea, green tea, and dark tea, but also flower tea, fruit tea, health tea, and milk tea that surprised her!
The milk tea is not a finished product yet, but rather roasted tea leaves specifically for milk tea. As long as you use the roasted tea leaves to boil milk, it will be a proper milk tea, rich and mellow, and you can't stop drinking it once you start.
She had tried it secretly herself, but since no one had come to visit recently and Ke Yunyun and Xiaoxi had been staying in the main room for a long time, she couldn't find an excuse to take the things out openly.
We can only wait until the New Year.
In a few years, more and more people will come to borrow her mortar, and Ke Yunyun will have to hide in the yard on the other side of the cellar, and she can also start moving some food out.
To upgrade Mu Shikong again, she needs to spend at least 200,000 virtual coins in the tea wholesale market, which is also a considerable amount of money.
Su Tai thought about it and decided to sell a few hundred kilograms of tea first. It would also be time to prepare the New Year gifts.
In addition to her relatives from her mother's side, there are also clansmen in Shenjia Village, as well as the clansmen who work for their family and the tenants of the village. None of them can be left out.
The tea shop owner saw that she bought so much and smiled, "Miss, would you like a special gift box?"
Su Tai shook her head. "No need for a special gift box. Prepare some oil paper with strong sealing properties and make it look antique. I want to give it to someone as a gift."
The tea shop owner immediately took out a few oil paper bags and showed them to her, "Is this okay? There is a sealing strip on it. The more original packaging also has it, but you have to seal it with rice paste yourself, otherwise the aroma of the tea will dissipate and it will not taste good."
Su Tai took a look and asked for the original oil paper bag.
She bought a large quantity of tea in wholesale, so one pound was forty yuan, and five hundred pounds was for twenty thousand yuan.
The packaging bags and rice milk are provided free of charge by the merchant.
Su Tai took the things back, and when the first family came to borrow the mortar, she took Ke Yunyun and the others back to the cellar and asked them to help pack the tea, which was also to give them something to do.
She was busy outside alone, delivering New Year gifts to relatives and acquaintances in the village.
Each family received a bag of tea, a bag of brown sugar, and a large piece of egg cake and bread.
Those who received New Year gifts also gave gifts in return.
One shop gives away eggs, another gives away pork or game; in short, they give away everything.
The number of things in Su Tai's house increased visibly.
At this time, if she brought out the fresh fish caught in the water time and space, Ke Yunyun and Xiaoxi would definitely not doubt it, and would not even think about it.
After Su Tai delivered New Year gifts in the village and was about to close the shop, Huang Xinghua came over with Chen Tian, carrying a large basket of things.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Su Tai was a little confused.
Huang Xinghua laughed and said, "I have some pickled vegetables from home. Xiaotian said you don't have any at home, so I made some for you to try. I also have some eggs from the geese at home, which are quite big, so I also gave you a few to try. Oh, by the way! Today my wife went to Moshi Town and saw that the Ma family grain store actually sold a kind of grain that she had never heard of, called rice. It was white and quite good, but it was sold at a very high price.
One pound costs seventy coins, and they say it's from Longxia Country. Anyway, I've never eaten it, so I bought a few pounds and brought some for you to try."
