Chapter 25: There is space. The autumnal equinox has arrived. Dan'er is pretty...
Autumnal Equinox, Eggs Are Pretty
It was not until she saw children on the street holding eggs and competing to see whose egg could stand upright longer that Gu Ruyi realized that the autumnal equinox had arrived.
This also proves that she has been traveling through time for almost two months.
Time flies so fast.
In the past, Gu Ruyi would never have thought that this internet-addicted girl could go two months without playing with her phone or computer.
Her novels, comics, anime...
No, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.
Let’s have a meal!
Use delicious food to comfort her broken heart.
But, what to eat?
Gu Ruyi plans to go to the food station to take a look.
But when passing by a hidden alley, Gu Ruyi suddenly saw a thin little girl who seemed to be arguing with a big and strong middle-aged woman.
Gu Ruyi stopped.
Of course, she definitely doesn't want to be a saint. Her mind is still firmly welded in her head and she can't do such a stupid thing.
She was simply sharp-eyed and saw the piece of meat in the basket carried by the little girl.
As the inheritor of the imperial chef, Gu Ruyi has some vision.
She could tell at a glance that the meat in the basket was mutton, and the black spots and rosy luster on the skin proved that the mutton was from a genuine black goat that had been slaughtered no more than an hour ago.
It’s fresh!
Gu Ruyi suddenly felt greedy.
She had just unlocked the fourth page of the culinary heritage, and the new dish happened to be braised lamb.
Choose the finest lamb, sauté it, stir-fry it, and stew it with red stew sauce or hot pot base. The lamb is tender, delicious, and rich in soup. It is a visual feast just by looking at it, not to mention eating it.
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Recalling the delicious taste of braised lamb, Gu Ruyi could no longer walk.
But Gu Ruyi felt that buying it privately was a bit risky.
While she was still struggling, the argument between the little girl and the aunt seemed to reach a climax.
The old lady's brows were furious, and she was obviously very angry, and she looked like she was going to take action.
When the thin little girl saw that something was wrong, she turned around and ran away.
Although the little girl was thin, when she ran it seemed as if there were hot wheels under her feet, and she ran away in a flash.
When it comes to speed, no matter how strong the aunt is, she can’t do anything. After chasing for a few steps and failing to catch up, the aunt became so angry that she jumped on the spot and kept moving her mouth. Although her voice was so low that no one could hear it (she was afraid of being discovered), it was obvious that she was very dirty.
Gu Ruyi was delighted when she saw this.
Why is she so happy seeing the aunt being humiliated?
It turns out that people's happiness is built on the suffering of others.
Gu Ruyi continued to move forward with a joyful pace.
As a result, she was blocked before long.
——It was that little girl.
"Little sister, what do you want from me?"
The little girl was obviously very alert. She observed her surroundings with her bright eyes and said, "Sister, do you want mutton? It's only two yuan a pound, very cheap."
Two yuan per pound, cheap?
Does this mean she has never bought vegetables?
Although mutton was rare in the 1970s and 1980s, it was not as popular as pork because it did not contain as much oil, and a pound of mutton was only a few cents more expensive than pork.
Even if it's 80 cents per pound, double that would only be 1.6 yuan at most on the black market. The girl dares to sell it for 2 yuan and still calls it a bargain. She must be really cruel.
"No, no," Gu Ruyi, who didn't want to be a scapegoat, shook her head.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ruyi refused so straightforwardly. The little girl was a little anxious. "Sister, my mutton is very fresh. You have been staring at it for a long time. Why don't you want it?"
Yoho! It seems that I saw her just now. No wonder this girl dared to look for her.
And dare to ask for a high price.
This is like slaughtering her like a fat sheep.
Gu Ruyi smiled, "Little sister, I can't afford such 'cheap' mutton!"
After hearing Gu Ruyi's suggestive words, the little girl knew that this beautiful older sister in front of her who seemed to be out of touch with the world was not someone who could be easily fooled.
The girl was not embarrassed at all, she smiled cheekily and said, "Sister, I'll give you a discount, 1.8 yuan."
Gu Ruyi turned around and walked away, but was grabbed by the little girl.
"Sister, sister, one dollar and seventy cents will do, right? This is the lowest price. My twin sisters at home are still waiting for me to earn money to buy them milk powder. Please have pity on me!"
Gu Ruyi: Little girl, you are selling something so badly. You are too cunning.
However, no matter how miserable you are, it is useless. Don't even think about making a penny more from her.
"I'll only give you the market price, $1.60."
The little girl's face fell, "Sister, my family really needs a lot of money. If I only sell it for 1.6 yuan, my father will beat me."
Gu Ruyi: "Then find someone else!"
Huang Damei: This beautiful girl looks so good, why is she so hard-hearted?
She has said such a miserable thing, yet you still argue with her for a few cents. You have such a cruel heart!
"elder sister……"
Just when Huang Damei wanted to bargain again, she heard the voice of "The patrol is coming" and she ran away in fright.
The key is that she can run away! He even dragged Gu Ruyi along.
Before Gu Ruyi could react, he jumped far away.
"Let go... huhu... of your hands!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was filled with wind.
Gu Ruyi: “…”
She wanted to stop by force, but she found that the girl selling mutton looked thin but was actually very strong and she could not defeat her at all.
In this way, after running around for more than ten minutes, Huang Damei finally arrived at a relatively safe place and breathed a sigh of relief.
But when she turned around, Huang Damei was frightened by the beautiful girl's breathless look.
"Little... little sister, are you okay?"
Gu Ruyi gasped and rolled her eyes.
Nonsense, does she look like she's okay?
She almost passed out.
It took several minutes for Gu Ruyi's heart, which had been beating in her throat, to slowly return to normal.
Huang Damei's heart, which had been hanging in the air, also fell back.
At the same time, she thought to herself that this beautiful young lady's health was too poor. She almost died after running a few steps. Fortunately, she was born in the city. If she was in their countryside, she would have died of exhaustion long ago.
Complaints aside, the meat hasn’t been sold yet!
Huang Damei smiled again and called out sweetly, "Sister~"
This sound finally reminded Gu Ruyi of the culprit.
"Little girl, why are you pulling me?"
Gu Ruyi's tone was a little bad, Huang Damei smiled awkwardly, "Hey! I'm just afraid that we will be caught by the patrol team!"
In fact, Huang Damei was afraid that the duck in her mouth would fly away.
In fact, she had already found several people to trade with, but those people wanted to take advantage of her because she was young, and the price they offered was not as high as Gu Ruyi's.
Especially the old gossip just now, she only gave one piece, and Huang Damei was unwilling to sell it and tried to snatch it away.
Judging from this, no one would offer a higher price than Gu Ruyi, so Huang Damei naturally didn't want to miss her.
Gu Ruyi glared, "We haven't even completed the transaction yet, how could they arrest me?"
Huang Damei was already smiling, "I was too anxious at the time and didn't think of this. I'm sorry, sister."
She'll dare to do it again next time.
Gu Ruyi had no idea how hateful Huang Damei’s real thoughts were.
It is not advisable to hit a smiling face. Huang Damei kept smiling, and Gu Ruyi calmed down after a few complaints.
"Let me see the mutton first!"
At the same time, Gu Ruyi said two words in his heart, "Sign in!"
When they just arrived here, the system prompted that the place where they were staying was a check-in location.
It’s still the previous armory check-in point.
When he heard this, even though Gu Ruyi was very tired, he was still shocked.
Armory, could this overgrown weed-filled area with no human habitation within a mile be an armory?
The system must be correct!
There are actually twenty key check-in points.
More than the sign-in talisman.
too! expensive! Hey!
Gu Ruyi didn't want to sign.
Don't want to empty her check-in points.
However, after calming down, Gu Ruyi decided to do it.
Because later Gu Ruyi noticed that the system specifically indicated that this check-in point was a one-time thing.
Gu Ruyi was very curious as it was her first time to come across a one-time check-in location.
If she didn't sign in, she felt she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
So just sign it! Money can be earned back even if it is spent. Even if the sign-in points are gone, you can continue to earn them later!
【bite! Sign in once at the armory at a cost of 20 sign-in points to receive a dagger that can melt iron into mud. 】
Dagger, okay.
Gu Ruyi continued to look forward to it.
However……
But there is a ghost...
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the system still didn't make any response, and Gu Ruyi's heart finally gave out.
Just a dagger!
She has twenty check-in points!
He actually changed to a dagger.
Not to mention being able to melt iron like mud, she wouldn't even want to be able to cut diamonds.
She doesn't dare to kill anyone, so why would she take such a good dagger!
Gu Ruyi was heartbroken that the check-in point she had worked so hard to obtain was exchanged for a worthless one.
But the next second her heart closed again miraculously.
【bite! After successfully spending 100 sign-in points, the system has been upgraded to level 2 and the system space has been opened. 】
It was a long sentence, and Gu Ruyi only remembered the last five words.
Open space, is that what she meant?
Gu Ruyi couldn't wait to try it out.
"Little sister, how many pounds of mutton are there in total?"
Huang Damei lifted the black cloth on the basket and said, "I weighed it at home, and it weighs five kilograms."
Gu Ruyi quickly counted out eight dollars and just wanted to send Huang Damei away quickly.
But Huang Damei felt that Gu Ruyi, who was decisive and efficient, was a good client.
So after handing over the money and the goods, she asked, "Sister, my family is going to slaughter a sheep in half a month, do you want another one?"
Gu Ruyi subconsciously asked, "Does your family run a ranch?"
Huang Damei smiled helplessly, "It's almost the same as in the dream."
The Huang family has only two sheep, one male and one female, which are secretly raised in a cave in the mountains by Huang Damei's father.
When they first bought the sheep, the Huang family enjoyed the adult sheep giving birth to lambs, and the lambs growing up to give birth to more lambs. This cycle continued over and over again, and sooner or later the sheep in the family would grow into a large herd.
Unfortunately, her mother gave birth to twins and had no milk.
The key point is that the twins are weak, and the doctor said that it would be better for them to eat more milk powder so that they have a chance to grow up. There is no other way. For the sake of the children, the Huang family can only reluctantly slaughter and sell the sheep.
Now, let alone a flock of sheep, I don’t know how long I have to wait to raise sheep again at home.
Although Gu Ruyi didn't know the situation of the Huang family, she realized something was wrong when she saw the bitterness on Huang Damei's face.
Don’t ask about other people’s affairs, Gu Ruyi quickly changed the subject.
"If you can make it cheaper, I'll take all the sheep you slaughter in half a month."
Gu Ruyi loves eating mutton. If the space can really hold things, she would buy not just one, but eight or ten.
Anyway, space and time are still, so it won't go bad no matter how long it is kept.
It didn't matter if her guess was wrong. The city should start to get cold in half a month, and the mutton should not go bad if it was salted and hung on the beams to be dried.
Huang Damei was so happy that she sold the whole sheep after asking casually. She waved her hand and said, "Sister, if you want all of it, I'll give it to you for 1.5 yuan."
"Okay, then we'll be here again next time." Gu Ruyi agreed.
Huang Damei went home happily.
When she could no longer be seen, Gu Ruyi quickly hid in the bushes and tried to put the mutton into the system.
As soon as she had this thought, the mutton in her hand disappeared.
Looking at the system warehouse again, the mutton was indeed staying well in the corner.
Gu Ruyi covered her mouth excitedly to prevent herself from laughing too loudly and being heard by others.
But she was laughing madly in her heart.
Hahaha…hahaha…
She finally has space!
From now on, I can buy whatever I want without worrying about being discovered.
Thank the system, thank God.
After being happy, Gu Ruyi took out the dagger used to sign in to the system and took a look at it.
