Tian Yuzhu was thinking while drying the white sesame seeds.
There were too many of them. Two buckets of white sesame seeds could not be dried in one winnowing basket, so I could only sweep out a piece of ground and then take down the curtain cloth and spread it on the ground.
Just dry it in the sun for one day and then hang the curtains at night.
Perilla seeds cannot be rinsed again, so the environment must be kept clean when drying them.
By the way, Tian Yuzhu remembered one thing.
After buying the water tank and these kitchen supplies, she currently has seventy-five dollars left.
Shi Zhentang's salary was thirty-five yuan. Not to mention the extra money, he even thought that the money for buying household items came from the thirty-five yuan.
There are 110 yuan left now, and Shi Zhentang can only see 10 yuan at most.
For the remaining hundred yuan, Tian Yuzhu sewed a small cloth bag, picked up a piece of the floor tile at the foot of the stove, and hid the money there.
It’s funny to think about it. I didn’t expect that a hundred yuan would be hidden so mysteriously.
Hide the money and have a simple lunch of fried noodles.
Xiao Hei is not picky about food. As long as nothing is spicy, he can eat noodles or steamed buns.
Shi Zhentang actually liked his wife's cooking skills, and he thought everything she cooked was delicious.
After eating the noodles, he hurried back to the army. In a few days, he would be competing with the eastern team. As the battalion commander, he had to train the soldiers and was very busy.
But when I was leaving, I accidentally saw Xiao Hei peeling the floor tile in front of the stove.
Shi Zhentang hung the towel he was using to wipe his face on the wire and said, "Yuzhu, is there a mouse in the house? Xiao Hei is scratching around."
Tian Yuzhu, who came out from the inner room, twitched her lips.
Heizi, you little traitor.
She had a small safe hidden under the floor tiles.
But he had a smile on his face: "I'll check the firewood pile later."
"Then I'm leaving!" The man left in a hurry without thinking much.
After he left the courtyard, Tian Yuzhu quickly stepped forward and picked up Xiao Hei: "Don't scratch around anymore, or I'll hit you on the head."
Xiao Hei was like a rebellious little brat, lowering his head and making a sound of "Awu"...
Tian Yuzhu was stunned.
Oh no, why does this little thing's cry sound like a wolf's howl?
Although it is not very obvious yet, what if it grows bigger and howls a few times?
This gave Tian Yuzhu a headache, so she tried to teach it to bark: "Woof woof."
Xiao Hei stared at her with his dark eyes, seeming a little confused.
Tian Yuzhu: “…”
She could only take one step at a time and pray to God that the little black wolf would delay its howling, and then it would delay!
The entire military area is extremely quiet at the moment.
The lives of military wives are indeed more comfortable. They can take a nap without having to take care of the children.
Seeing that it was still early for the appointment with Wang Xiu Di and the others to go up the mountain to pick perilla seeds, Tian Yuzhu quickly took time out to go to the town.
As it turned out, she was lucky. Just as she left the military area, she met a ox cart from the Yanchi Town Production Team passing by.
And she knew the old man driving the ox cart.
I asked him for bamboo some time ago and even weaved a winnowing basket for him.
Well, the old man also warmly invited her to ride in the ox cart, and praised her for her good weaving along the way.
Tian Yuzhu was in a good mood: "Uncle, if you have fallen bamboo in the future, please keep it for me. I want to make a backpack."
"Sure, no problem."
The old man was a straightforward person: "By the way, make one for me too."
Tian Yuzhu smiled and said, "Okay."
This is also good. If you have something to say, just say it directly. It's a give-and-take thing, and she doesn't want to take advantage of others.
When we got to the town, the old man was busy with his work.
Tian Yuzhu saw the red rope tied to the bamboo, which meant that the one-eyed dragon had brought in business again.
She pretended to walk around the town and then went straight to the courtyard.
This time, the one-eyed man did bring back a batch of goods, a total of fifteen raw stones of various sizes.
He also got a table and arranged the rough stones on it like a workbench, and also got a high-powered flashlight.
Time is limited, so Tian Yuzhu doesn't delay.
Next, she signed it and the one-eyed man recorded it.
The source of each raw stone, including its quarry and the texture of its leather and flesh, are all carefully recorded and affixed to the raw stone.
It's all done in less than an hour.
The appraisal fee must be collected three days later. The buyer must open the stone first and the fee will be paid after confirmation.
Tian Yuzhu knew the rules of this business and was eager to leave after finishing the job.
"Hey, Mr. Gong."
The one-eyed man stopped her in confusion, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the appraisal fee and run away in three days?"
"Believe it or not, I can find you no matter where you run to."
Tian Yuzhu's cold face was full of confidence, and she suddenly smiled again: "Besides, your hometown is Shuochi Town. You were actually married when you were young, and you also have a daughter in Shuochi Town, but you don't interact with each other."
"This...how do you know?" The one-eyed man was stunned.
He never told her these things.
Perhaps he didn't expect that Tian Yuzhu could get this information without any effort.
At this moment, she simply turned around, waved her hand, and replied, "Anyone can find out about you, and you can hide it from me?"
In fact, I just asked casually when I was riding in the ox cart earlier.
After all, the old man driving the ox cart was not much different in age from the one-eyed man, so he naturally knew it.
In the eyes of the one-eyed man, this mysterious 'Mr. Gong' is so unfathomable and terrifying.
He stood there in a daze for a long time, making sure he could never ask such a stupid question again.
Although he relied on Mr. Gong for a living, the most important thing was...
The other person's seemingly light and casual words actually held his lifeline.
