◎Happy Day 12: Nature’s Porter◎
When Jiang Muyun returned, it was already dark.
She parked the car at the usual spot, sprayed it black again, then found a place to put it in the space as usual, and also packed a midnight snack from the roadside.
Because it took too much time to go back and forth to pick up the express, and changing the car's clothes on the way took another while, it was already ten o'clock when I went upstairs.
It just so happened that Qin Shiwu was off work!
Yesterday afternoon, Jiang Muyun said that she would meet Qin Shiwu today.
Unexpectedly, she didn't get home by five or six o'clock, but she did go upstairs with Qin Shiwu.
The two of them were silent all the way until the familiar "ding" sound rang out, and Jiang Muyun revealed his true nature: "Brother, you got off work pretty early."
This time Qin Shiwu was well prepared. Jiang Muyun failed to escape in time and was hit on the head. The pain was so severe that she threatened to knock Qin Shiwu out with a club on his way home from get off work.
Qin Shiwu sneered: "Then you'd better be careful not to let me catch you."
Jiang Muyun was already halfway home when he finally felt comfortable provoking her: "Should I be careful not to come home late at night, or not go out early in the morning? Apart from these two times, there aren't many times I can run into you."
Jiang Muyun didn't give Qin Shiwu a chance to refute. After he finished speaking, he closed the door contentedly.
She will be leaving for East Market tomorrow, and she will definitely not meet Qin Shiwu in the next few days.
As expected of her, her ability to control timing is first-class.
Jiang Muyun stepped on his heels together and successfully took off his shoes.
Jiang Muyun put on slippers, turned on the air conditioner, and took a comfortable shower. She thought that if the budget was sufficient, she would also like to add a large bathtub to the space.
The kind that is sized for a swimming pool.
After taking a shower, Jiang Muyun put a towel on her shoulders and left her hair hanging there, letting it dry naturally.
I took out the ice cream I bought at the supermarket a few days ago from the refrigerator and took a bite to feel doubly comfortable.
If she has any extra money after this trip, she will definitely wholesale another batch of ice cream!
Jiang Muyun was enjoying it while dragging the mouse and clicking, which added a lot of burden to the download list.
If everything goes well, this trip will take two days, and if things go slowly, three days. The time in between cannot be wasted.
The next day, Jiang Muyun packed all her glasses, hats, masks and other small accessories into her bag, and also took a few pieces of clothes and skirts, and left during the morning rush hour.
When I went downstairs, I met Qin Shiwen at the entrance of the corridor. Qin Shiwen had big dark circles under his eyes and looked very weak.
Jiang Muyun was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Shiwen yawned. "Don't mention it. A kid on the team was injured yesterday, and I was busy all night. Luckily, the result showed that the kid was fine, otherwise I would have been sleepless for three months."
Qin Shiwen himself retired due to injury, so he is particularly sensitive to injuries.
Jiang Muyun patted her shoulder and said, "Go back to sleep. By the way, do you still have any medicine?"
Qin Shiwen waved his hand nonchalantly: "What medicine is there for an injury? As long as you don't jump around, it's fine. If you start jumping around, medicine won't help."
Jiang Muyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Shiwen's injury is in the Achilles tendon. He said that he just needs to soak his feet more often and pay attention to maintenance.
But Jiang Muyun didn't know if they, as athletes, had any special medicine to help with recovery.
If this injury requires long-term use of some unpopular medicine, it will be difficult to deal with after the end of the world.
East City is about 500 kilometers away from South City. If you take the highway normally, it will take three or four hours to get there.
The reason why Jiang Muyun had to set aside about three days was because she didn't plan to take the highway.
Not only does she not take the highway, she doesn't even take the national highway.
Jiang Muyun filled up the gas tank of his car, randomly found an alley in an old residential area, and got his hair cut at the first barber shop in the alley.
She is tall and wears the most ordinary loose white T-shirt and casual pants. With her hair cut short and a mask on, coupled with her neatness, she looks like a young man at first glance.
Jiang Muyun was very satisfied with the master's craftsmanship. The handsome male college student drove the van out of the city and turned the steering wheel to a country road.
This was the route she had specially planned for this trip. She passed through villages along the way. Whenever she saw someone selling fruits and vegetables, she would load up a whole cart. When she reached a deserted place, she would put the goods into her space and drive to the next village or town to continue buying.
The most popular item among them is watermelon.
Not having ice watermelon in summer is like not eating roasted sweet potatoes in winter.
Jiang Muyun not only bought fruits and vegetables, but also some other miscellaneous items.
Jiang Muyun bought a small grinding machine and a shelling machine as spare parts.
Jiang Muyun also bought a lot of crops such as sesame and peanuts.
Jiang Muyun also met a few villagers selling pure grain wine.
Not only did she buy all the pure grain liquors and several large jars of fermented rice wine that the other party brought to the town to sell, but she also received a lot of free koji.
Jiang Muyun walked and stopped along the way. Occasionally, when he saw villagers returning home with their shoulder poles loaded with goods on their shoulders, he would specifically ask them where the market was.
However, she didn't leave early, and the morning market was basically closed, so the only ones she could catch were in town.
Jiang Muyun didn't go to some places that were far away, but he went to the ones that were nearby and found a lot of good things.
She also bought a whole cart of seeds at a confiscation market.
These were all vegetable seeds, of various types. Seeing that Jiang Muyun had bought a lot, the boss gave her a lot of already grown seedlings.
Fortunately, the space was just too small to accommodate living animals, otherwise Jiang Muyun would be reluctant to give up these seedlings.
Who told her she had never farmed before?
Even if she read from the book, she couldn't guarantee that she could grow food.
With these seedlings, we have laid the foundation for sustainable development.
Near noon, Jiang Muyun met an old man selling malt sugar and bought the whole pot of malt sugar.
As a result, Jiang Muyun paid the money, only to find that he had no container to put it in.
The two of them stared at each other, and the old man didn't have such a big container in his hand.
Jiang Muyun looked at the old man's stove for making sugar for a while, and then simply took the stove and the pot together.
This kind of stove is particularly practical in winter, whether it is used to make a fire for heating or to boil water for cooking.
However, it is impossible to make your own fire for heating and cooking in the city, and Jiang Muyun did not dare to be too unconventional. Apart from the iron stove for camping, she only had a few small coal stoves bought from the grocery store.
Her small coal stove was all shiny and bright, and she definitely couldn't explain why she used it in front of others.
Now there is a stove that looks very worn out. When the time comes, she can take it out and use it in front of others and say that it was bought by Grandpa Jiang. It is very reasonable.
It was probably the first time that the old man had seen such an outrageous customer, but considering that Jiang Muyun paid enough money, he still sold it happily.
The money Jiang Muyun gave him was enough for him to buy three more sets of new equipment.
The old man not only sold her the stove, but also considerately put out the fire in the stove for her and demonstrated how to clean the ashes from the stove.
Jiang Muyun happily took the things away. Before the car drove two miles, all these things were in her space.
There was no way. The country road was indeed a bit bumpy. If she didn't put it into the space, she was afraid that she would have to use malt sugar to feed the car.
At noon when the sun was at its highest, Jiang Muyun finally arrived at her first destination of this trip - the Valley Reservoir.
The legendary water source of a well-known mineral water brand, with high-quality water, large water volume, and a large area, is the perfect place to find a corner and buy it for free.
Jiang Muyun avoided several popular tourist attractions and went to remote places.
When she reached a place where the car could no longer drive, she stopped and walked in.
Jiang Muyun didn't stop until he found a secluded and deserted place. He squatted by the water, dipped his hands in the water, and started his first zero-yuan purchase.
If there was a second person here, he would have noticed that Jiang Muyun had been squatting there stirring the water for half an hour.
Half an hour later, Jiang Muyun felt a little dizzy.
She didn't know how much water she had filled, but looking at the area in the space she had marked out for water storage, she vaguely felt that she had reached the boundary of the space.
At a glance, Jiang Muyun felt that the water storage capacity was no less than that of a small lake.
Jiang Muyun glanced down at her feet. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the water level of the reservoir had not moved at all.
It is incredible to think that such a large reservoir would dry up in just one year.
Jiang Muyun collected enough water for future domestic use, and dug up a lot of soil whenever he had the chance. Finally, he leaned back in the car, ate a piece of bread for lunch, and lay down on the chair for a while.
Only when she felt she had recovered did she continue driving on the road to her final destination, East City Port.
