The next day, after the study was over, it was time for everyone to get up. Yi Qingqing heard the noise outside, so she sat up, put on her clothes and got out of bed.
When she opened the door and went out, her mother was already cooking.
Hearing the door open, he turned around to see that it was her and said, "Why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I'm used to getting up at this time," Yi Qingqing said, "Mom, I don't have much to do at home during the day. These two days, while the factory is still on holiday, let me go and buy any New Year's goods at home, so that it won't be too hard to grab when there are too many people."
Zhao Xianglan thought so too. Her daughter had spent half a year alone in the countryside and had grown taller and fatter when she came back. She was less of a worry than her son.
He quickly wiped his hands and went back to the house to get the money and ticket.
"The meat you sent back this year and the meat you brought back this time are enough for the New Year. We don't need to buy any more meat..."
Zhao Xianglan explained to her in detail the things that must be bought. She could buy the ones that were already in stock first, and the rest could be bought if available, otherwise forget it.
He also gave her a list.
Yi Qingqing took over this task because she planned to go out on the street more often during this period. She was in a hurry before going to the countryside and didn't look carefully. She was worried that she would miss the sign-in places like the Land God Temple in Tieling County, or the teachers' very high-level Chinese medicine skills.
Even if you don't lack skills now, you will have an idea of them once you have found them, so you can sign in when you need them later.
Section 122
But these are not mandatory, the main thing is to go to the bank and the scrap yard.
In the morning she first went to the market to have a look, bought some of the things on the list of New Year's goods her mother gave her, then walked past the bank and went to the scrap yard.
【Sign in at Nanping County Bank and receive RMB 250. 】
[Sign in at the Nanping County Scrap Station and receive an old pit glass-type imperial green jadeite necklace. ]
Yi Qingqing felt like she had disturbed the jade jewelry industry. With the pair of bracelets from yesterday as a foundation, she was much calmer when she signed for the necklace today.
However, although good things came out here, there was nothing to be gained elsewhere. She did not discover any new and interesting check-in places in Nanping County.
Fortunately, she didn't force it, since she didn't have any special needs for the moment anyway.
Over the next few days, she would go to the market, bank, and scrap yard every day before returning home.
The amounts signed in at the bank were between 100 and 300 yuan, while the amounts signed in at the scrap yard were all jade jewelry.
By the day before her parents went on vacation, she had signed out 1,000 yuan in five days and saved up for a set of imperial green and a set of violet jade jewelry, each set including a bracelet, a necklace and a ring.
The cash alone is almost as much as Li Mengxue’s savings from speculation.
However, on this last day, her parents didn't have their day off until noon, so Yi Qingqing did the same as the previous few days, going shopping in the morning and then stopping by the bank and the scrap yard to sign in.
I had good luck at the bank and checked out 300 yuan. I've been lucky at the bank recently.
But when she passed by the entrance of the scrap yard, she was still looking forward to what kind of jewelry she would find, but suddenly she suffered a setback.
[Sign in at the Nanping County Waste Station and receive a stack of gold foil]
Yi Qingqing looked at the things in the space that were wrapped in layers of newspapers.
I originally thought that the paper was made of real gold foil, but when I got home and opened the newspaper, I realized that it was just golden paper and had nothing to do with gold.
Yi Qingqing was very familiar with this paper. It was used to fold paper ingots, and it was the best gold foil paper for folding paper ingots.
Such a thick stack can be folded into a lot of gold ingots.
Although there is a huge difference in value between gold foil and top-grade jade jewelry, Yi Qingqing was disappointed for a moment, but she quickly got over it.
How can everything be good every time?
It was already a surprise that I checked out two sets of jade jewelry earlier. They were unexpected gains, so there is no need to be disappointed if I lose them.
Yi Qingqing felt that this was the sign-in area that had been plucked bald by her.
And this gold foil is not useless.
She had thought about buying gold foil to make some paper-made items in real life, and then burning some gold ingots for her teachers who had passed away during the next Ghost Festival.
But I can't find a place to sell these things. This is normal. In this day and age, these things cannot be sold openly.
Without gold foil, she couldn't make gold ingots. She had been planning to make some yellow paper and burn some paper money when the time came, but now she doesn't have to worry about that.
Maybe they don’t know that they have a student like her, but she has learned so much from them and can be considered a mentor.
Yi Qingqing had no way to contact Master Zhu, Master Wen, and the high school teachers who were still in the world.
Teacher Zheng Zhiyin who taught her to play the flute, teacher Lin Yibai who taught her to paint, teacher Wang Wenyang who taught her calligraphy, and teacher Yi Qi who taught her traditional Chinese medicine all died in such a place. It is unknown whether any of their descendants dared to risk their lives to pay homage to them.
According to Master Bai, as long as the things that descendants burn to worship their ancestors are made properly, they can really be accepted in the underworld.
On the other hand, those wandering ghosts who have no one to worship them would probably have a hard time.
The situation has been bad in recent years, and people have to hide the paper they burn for worship, and there are no shops selling these things.
Maybe it's not just the people in the world of the living who have a hard life, people in the world of the dead are probably also very tight on money.
Yi Qingqing now has level 3 origami skills, so it is no problem for her to fold some high-quality gold ingots. I hope that the teachers who have suffered in the world of the living can enjoy happiness before their life in the underworld ends.
The gold foil reminded her, so she went out and went to the bookstore to buy some cellophane. This paper was thin, soft, yet strong and cheap.
Normally people buy them to paste on windows and glass, and some children use them to copy characters.
This paper material is suitable for paper tying, but it only comes in white.
But this doesn't bother her.
She also bought some old-fashioned self-mixed powdered pigments that were commonly used for painting advertisements at that time. She would just color and draw the patterns herself. This painting skill would also enhance her paper-making skills.
By then, she would arrange a mansion for each of her masters, and send them some musical instruments, paints, drawing boards, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones according to their professional interests.
This way she would feel more at ease. Her teachers were truly a group of brilliant people, but it was just that this era had let them down.
Although these things seem to be fine on the surface, the amount of cellophane bought was a bit large. She just took it home in such a big way. It was easy to make excuses when others asked about it, but it would be difficult to explain it away once her mother heard about it.
So before going home, she found an empty alley and put it in her space.
When there are outsiders around, the system will remind you of this rule when entering the skill learning mode, and you don't have to worry about being discovered.
