That is true.
Li Shengli felt that there was no need to hide it, so he agreed to her: "Yes, I met Sister Yuzhu when I went home for the New Year."
"So what did you think when you first met her?" Feng Chun looked furtive and deliberately lowered his voice: "I heard that she used to be a fool..."
"sister in law."
Li Shengli's face darkened upon hearing this. "I also heard that the political commissar summoned you to a thought class. You should do some deep self-reflection. Why did you get called in by so many military wives? Are you just too bored and just talking nonsense?"
Feng Chun choked: "..."
She never expected that Li Shengli would speak up for Tian Yuzhu.
Realizing he hadn't gotten anything out of it, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Yes, yes, you're right, I was just bored. Actually, it was just a casual question. It's none of my business whether she's stupid or not."
After saying that, he hurried to chase Dahu and Erhu.
Li Shengli sighed and shook his head.
As the old saying goes, where there are people, there is the world of martial arts. In his opinion, where there are women, there is the world of martial arts.
…
After lunch, Shi Zhentang went to a meeting.
Tian Yuzhu took the opportunity to go to Shuochi Town.
She had come to the town twice since she last saw the one-eyed man, but hadn't run into him either.
But today, when I arrived, I saw him standing not far away. He didn't wave at me, but turned and left.
Tian Yuzhu followed quietly.
This time, the one-eyed man did not go to the alley. Instead, after walking for a while, he turned into the most secluded courtyard in the town.
There were no neighbors on either side of the shabby little courtyard, and a local dog was tied to the persimmon tree in the yard.
The dog was so frightened when it saw Tian Yuzhu that it trembled and lay on the ground without making a sound.
The one-eyed man who was closing the gate was startled: "Even dogs are afraid of you, Mr. Gong."
He was very confused. How could this dog be so scared when seeing a woman?
Tian Yuzhu was very clear in her mind.
The local dog was not afraid of her, but because she held Xiao Hei every day and had the scent of a wolf on her body, so it was the wolf that the local dog was afraid of.
Without saying any more nonsense, she just smiled faintly.
After entering the house, the one-eyed man explained, "This is the house I rented. The two of us, a little old man who is despised by the whole town, meeting with a beautiful military wife like you, it would be an eyesore."
"So from now on, we'll sign here. This way, we won't arouse suspicion, and we won't be afraid of being caught by the security team."
Tian Yuzhu nodded: "Uncle is really thoughtful. What goods did you bring today?"
"Here."
There was a small wooden table in the corner of the room, and on the table was a bulging blue bundle.
It looks quite large.
The one-eyed man walked forward and opened it, and found that it was a raw stone.
"I finally managed to carry this stone back. The owner of the stone said that if you can give two correct answers, he will give you a hundred yuan as a thank you fee."
"Which two answers does he want?"
"Which mine is it from, and what is the quality of the raw stone?"
"Since he can ask, he must have figured it out himself, right?" Tian Yuzhu was puzzled. "If that's the case, why did he still pay the money for the contract?"
"Because the owner of the stone also knows about jadeite, he wants to give this rough stone to someone else. I guess he is not sure about it and wants to find someone to take a look at it before he feels at ease."
Tian Yuzhu nodded slightly.
She understood.
The other party is afraid that the gift they send is counterfeit, which will eventually ruin their own business.
The one-eyed man even offered a flashlight. "This thing is hard to come by. I've seen people who gamble on stones have this."
"A normal flashlight won't work. You have to use a powerful one."
Tian Yuzhu didn't take it, but carefully observed the rough stone. After a while, she said: "This rough stone comes from the southern field. It has thin skin and smooth flesh. It is 80% water-grade, mainly glutinous."
"Okay, great!"
The one-eyed dragon grinned happily, "What you said is similar to what the stone master said. The water quality of the jade from the southern mining area can reach about eight points, but he can't tell it is a glutinous variety."
"But it's a good thing. He just needs to get both answers right."
Tian Yuzhu raised her eyebrows: "That's because he couldn't come up with the third answer. If I say it's a glutinous variety, then it's definitely a glutinous variety. If you don't believe me, ask him to open the stone."
The one-eyed dragon laughed happily: "Yes, yes, I definitely believe you, Mr. Gong."
After saying this, he took out a hundred yuan and said, "This is a big deal. It's worth all the time I've spent looking for customers."
Tian Yuzhu put the money in her pocket and said, "We don't have enough customers yet. You need to find more."
As for the money... She looked at the one-eyed man and said, "You've already put the hundred dollars in your pocket, right?"
The one-eyed man suddenly looked embarrassed: "I can't hide anything from you."
Of course, someone like him would definitely not hand over all the money. Tian Yuzhu knew it clearly in her mind.
"Uncle, don't just take the money and go drinking. Showing off your wealth is not good for you. We need to find more customers. Remember?" Tian Yuzhu sighed. "Also, when you go to Myanmar, see if you can get a high-powered flashlight. Also, please keep an eye out for good raw stones."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll bet with them myself."
Tian Yuzhu calculated that it would take another two years before reform and opening up to individual private businesses could take place.
So she has to save enough capital in these two years so that once the country opens up, she will have the capital to move.
Her words frightened the one-eyed dragon: "You want to gamble on the stones yourself?"
Although his one-eyed face was wide open when he asked the question, after he finished asking it, he felt that it was just nonsense.
If someone has this ability, it would be worthwhile for him to gamble on his own.
But if she goes to gamble on stones, will she still need his helper?
In short, I was feeling uneasy, but I didn't dare to ask the truth.
Tian Yuzhu suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, there's no rush. I'd rather not gamble than bet big. Just find a source of goods first."
"Okay, then wait for my news."
"Oh, right." The one-eyed man came up with an idea: "If I find the source of the goods, I will tie a red ribbon on the bamboo trees in the front row of the bamboo forest at the entrance of the town. If there is no red ribbon, there is no need for you to come to my courtyard."
"Okay, that's a good idea."
After leaving the courtyard, Tian Yuzhu went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a large ceramic water tank with a wooden lid.
But the big water tank was too heavy, and it would be too unsightly for her to carry it back by herself.
So I hired two idle uncles for fifty cents each and asked them to help carry the book home on a shoulder pole and put it in a corner of the yard.
In addition, Tian Yuzhu also bought some dried goods, fungus, dried small fish, dried chili peppers, peppercorns, garlic, two pounds of potatoes, and also cut a piece of pork belly and five pounds of white flour.
Normally, she doesn't like to eat meat when she is alone at home.
When Shi Zhentang was at home, she would always get some meat for him, after all, a man of his size could not do without protein.
I also bought some eggplant and cabbage.
The salesperson was stunned, thinking that she was indeed a military wife and was willing to spend money.
