Chapter 34 Passerby A in the 1970s Rural Life Story 8
Jiang Yue's days passed slowly like this. One day, Li Mengqi and Liu Ruyan were going to the commune. Before they went, they asked Jiang Yue if she wanted to go. Jiang Yue thought about it and decided to go along. The three of them chatted as they walked. At first, Jiang Yue thought that Li Mengqi, who was so decisive in killing, was the kind of person with a cold personality. Unexpectedly, she also liked gossip quite a bit, and she knew more gossip than Jiang Yue and Liu Ruyan combined, which was quite a contrast.
Upon arriving at the commune, the three parted ways. Li Mengqi and Liu Ruyan were probably going to the black market to sell their goods. Liu Ruyan's "golden finger" could only buy things, but the money was her previous bank card balance. She couldn't just keep spending without taking in anything, or she would run out of money sooner or later. So she started a reselling business.
Li Mengqi also had a lot of things in her space, but many of them were unusable in this era, so she gradually sold off everything she could. Moreover, she didn't have much food in her space. Think about it, it's the apocalypse, how much food could there be, and what good would it be? It's just about getting enough nutrition. It's only because Li Mengqi's space was large enough that she collected a lot of things she liked; otherwise, she would be completely at a loss now.
Jiang Yue first went to the state-run restaurant to see if they had braised pork. After all, she had never seen this dish before, and she was lucky today because there was a long queue. Jiang Yue looked at the dishes on the blackboard and saw that they had braised pork. She quickly went to find a waitress, whom she had become quite familiar with recently.
Jiang Yue shook the other woman's arm after finding her, and the other woman smiled indulgently: "Okay, I'll go tell her and save you a copy. Go and wait for me."
After giving her meal ticket, Jiang Yue waited to order her food. It wasn't long before it was ready. Jiang Yue quickly ran over and brought it back. It was a plate of braised pork, glistening with oil and smelling delicious. She picked up a piece of meat and carefully put it into her mouth. No wonder it was a must-order dish in period dramas. Even this ordinary chef made this dish exceptionally well.
After dinner, her girlfriends were too busy to talk to her. Jiang Yue handed her a small bag of dried mushrooms and left. The two of them would exchange gifts from time to time, nothing expensive. It was more of an exchange than a gift. If the restaurant had any unusual ingredients, her girlfriends would save some for Jiang Yue.
Just as Jiang Yue stepped out, Liu Ruyan came in, carrying a large bag of things. Seeing Jiang Yue, she asked, "Jiang Yue, have you finished eating?"
"Yes, I ate first, and now I'm going out to buy things. You should go in quickly, there are a lot of people."
He said goodbye to Liu Ruyan and then went out.
When Jiang Yue arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she found it packed with people. She had originally planned to buy some things to take home, but then decided against it. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone call her name. When she turned around, she saw that it was her junior high school classmate, who was also her deskmate.
"Xiaoyue, why didn't you continue to high school? I was so sad when I couldn't find you at high school."
"My mother passed away, and I'm taking over her job, otherwise..."
Before Jiang Yue could finish speaking, her friend understood: "I'm...I'm sorry, Yue, I didn't know...I didn't mean to bring it up."
She was almost crying as she spoke, so Jiang Yue quickly comforted her, "It's okay."
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and then the little girl's mother finished shopping. She left her home address with Jiang Yue, telling her to come visit her anytime. After saying that, she left. Jiang Yue didn't plan to buy anything else. She had almost everything in her spatial storage and didn't plan to go to the black market. She would buy whatever she wanted when she had used up most of the supplies in her spatial storage.
Unfortunately, without other opportunities, the space will remain at this size for a long time. After 8888 expanded the space last time, Jiang Yue specifically asked if it was expanded in every world. 8888 said that it would only happen in special circumstances, and he didn't know when. It was all based on the conditions that were already built into the program, and it would be automatically triggered when the conditions were met.
Jiang Yue also asked 8888 if she could merge some space-type cheat codes she obtained in the mission world. 8888 also said no, because although they all manifest as space, they are different in essence. Moreover, most of the cheat codes in the mission world are given by the Heavenly Dao and are marked so that they cannot be taken away. The owner of a space only has the right to use it, not the ownership.
8888 also said that this is not absolute. There are also things that fall from the sky and are considered external objects. However, if Jiang Yue can get her hands on them, 8888 has a way to deal with them. But usually, these things are marked by the Heavenly Dao. Unless Jiang Yue gets them before the Heavenly Dao discovers them, the chances are too slim.
The current space is 6x6x6. In the previous world, Jiang Yue divided it into three layers using an iron frame. Now, it's all 6x6x2. The first layer is for food, including rice, flour, cooking oil, vegetables, seasonings, various canned goods, seeds, etc. Jiang Yue's medicinal herbs and Western medicines are also on this layer.
The second floor is for clothing and general merchandise. Clothes are available for all seasons, from extremely cold to extremely hot. There are also clothes from different periods of various dynasties in ancient my country, including different styles for men and women, and for all body types from young to old. Basically, everything is covered. The remaining section is for general merchandise, with small items such as toilet paper and lighters on this floor.
The bottom layer is divided into two parts. One part contains various books, technical materials, and self-defense weapons collected by Jiang Yue, including modern weapons such as pistols, rifles, and sniper rifles, as well as a bullet reloading machine, and various steel raw materials and cold weapons.
The other part consists of transportation vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles, as well as boats and fuel, which have been accumulated gradually over the decades.
It can be said that even if Jiang Yue were thrown into the wilderness now, as long as she is not killed by someone, she can live to old age without any mental problems. Moreover, Jiang Yue's space itself is static and does not need the iron frame. However, this iron frame is also cleverly designed. It is composed of sections. If needed, it can be taken out and assembled into a portable room frame, which is also a steel structure.
Jiang Yue looked at the pile of documents and books in the space and thought that when she went to the modern world, she would get a NAS, or if she had the chance, she would get a computer when she went to interstellar space. If all else failed, she could buy a bunch of smartphones, fully charge them, and buy a bunch of power banks. This way, she could save a lot of space.
Seeing that it was almost time to meet up, I went to find Li Mengqi and Liu Ruyan. After waiting for a while, they arrived, and the three of us went home together.
