"Okay, I'll contact you next time if I need you. How often do you come to the black market? How can I contact you next time?" The old lady was very vigilant and would not tell Jianshu her home address. After all, these things were contraband and could easily cause trouble.
Jianshu was equally vigilant. He didn't directly tell the old lady his whereabouts. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, let's stick to the same spot as today. If you need anything, leave a mark under that tree. I'll get back to you when I see it, and we can trade again."
"Okay, that's great." The old lady was quite satisfied with the result, which was good for both parties.
The two agreed on the style of the mark and then left.
Jianshu didn't stay long and turned around to go home.
Time flies by like a white horse.
In the blink of an eye, Jianshu received her second salary. The amount was still 41.5 yuan, and there were still two industrial coupons.
But the tickets issued by the department store this month were different. There were actually tickets for two kilograms of cotton.
Although there is no shortage of them in Jianshu Space, it is still very happy for others.
After all, the weather is getting colder and colder, and cotton is indispensable for making winter clothes and quilts. Two kilograms of cotton can almost make a cotton jacket.
If there are many people in your family and there is not enough cotton, you can add some cotton into your old cotton-padded jacket, which can keep you warmer.
Most people do this now, and few people are doing new things.
Jianshu used the cotton coupons and took them back after get off work.
After dinner, I went to Aunt Chen’s house next door to learn how to make clothes from her.
Although I went to the next door to learn how to make clothes because of Duan Zhiyong’s incident, this is not entirely an excuse.
She will have to live here for a long time, and it is impossible for her to buy ready-made clothes in just these few years.
Not to mention that it's too conspicuous, she must have known how to mend her clothes before they got torn. No one wears new clothes every day nowadays, so it's normal to have some patches on clothes.
After studying for this period of time, her skills have improved by leaps and bounds. After all, it is not purely handmade, but she uses a sewing machine.
After mastering the use of the sewing machine, making clothes is actually much easier. I used to borrow Chen's sewing machine, but now she has one too.
Originally, Jianshu wanted to go to the black market to exchange a sewing ticket with someone, but after Meng Ying found out, she brought her a sewing ticket the next day.
I feel embarrassed to accept it from Jianshu. After all, if I sell it, I can get about a hundred yuan.
But Meng Ying said, "Shushu, you know we already have a sewing machine at home. We don't need this ticket. It's better to give it to you than to someone else, right?"
Jian Shu thought about it and decided that given their status, they definitely wouldn't sell it for money. There was no need to take the risk. In the end, at most, they would have to trade it with someone else. But there weren't many things of the same value as a sewing machine, and most of the Zhao family didn't lack it.
In the end, Jian Shu accepted the ticket and said to Meng Ying, "Aunt, I'll make clothes for you all after I learn how to make them."
Meng Ying was delighted to hear this. "Okay, then your Uncle Zhao and I will be waiting for the clothes you make."
The next day after getting the ticket, she went out to buy a sewing machine. On the day the sewing machine arrived at her home, many neighbors came to watch the fun.
However, they also knew that Jianshu was the child of a martyr and must have some money, so they didn't have too many doubts.
But some people also asked where the tickets came from and if there were any left, as they also wanted to get one.
After all, for them, a sewing machine costs 140 yuan, which is still affordable for the family. After all, there are several workers in the family who are paid.
But it is not easy to get a sewing ticket, which is basically a benefit provided by the company.
For example, this one on Jianshu shows that Meng Ying’s unit was given five tickets, which were difficult to distribute, so they just drew lots, and Meng Ying drew one.
After Jianshu explained the origin of the tickets, they didn't say anything else.
What else is there to say? What else can I do except envy him for having such a good uncle? It's my own fault for not having one.
Although she has a sewing machine, Jianshu is not very skilled in making clothes, so she has not made clothes for the Zhao family yet.
He continued to learn from Aunt Chen and planned to try it out with the fabrics in the space first. Since he couldn't take those fabrics out anyway, he would just use them as practice.
So during this period, Jianshu's life became busy again. Every day, he exercised, practiced martial arts, learned to make clothes, and from time to time he had to go to the recycling station to buy Taobao and the post office to buy stamps. The leisurely days of the past were gone forever.
During the process, she traded with the wealthy old lady again and received a string of pearls, a jade ring, a cup and five small yellow croakers.
Originally, the old lady was planning to trade only with gold bars, but Jianshu disagreed. After all, what she mainly wanted were these old items. Gold bars were not that rare to her, and there were plenty of them in the space.
Seeing that Jianshu was determined not to continue the discussion, the old lady had no choice but to take out some good things for trade.
On the day she received her salary at the end of the month, Jianshu counted what she had gained since coming here.
The total amount of money was 457.60 yuan, most of which was earned on the black market.
Her daily expenses were not much. Apart from occasionally going to the grain and oil store to buy something to cover up her tracks, she didn't spend much money. Basically, everything she ate and used came from the space.
The biggest expense was buying a sewing machine for 140 yuan.
She also received about ten old items. In addition to the rich old lady, she met other people who exchanged things for food.
However, the things they had were not as good as the old lady's, so even though they had other customers, they still couldn't give up the rich old lady.
