From Cultivator to Widow

Today is another day that failed to make the tablemates wait and see, showing adoring and yearning eyes.

Liu Weizhi listened to the school bell and felt a little sullen. As soon as the bell rang, his deskmate immediately jumped out and left with the teacher.

I don't know why he was in such a hurry to go back.

Tomorrow, tomorrow he brought the chocolate over, those hillbillies must have never seen such a good thing. This was given to him by his uncle and boss, and he gave him two in total. It was so rare that he was reluctant to eat it.

He took it to the classroom, and his deskmate would definitely ask him for advice, and maybe even show a look of longing but unable to get it.

If he is willing to bow his head to his own, it is not impossible for him to give him a taste.

With this kind of good desire in his arms, his pace returned to briskness.

Zhang Baoguo ran back all the way.

When he went back, the cake was already ready and the food was ready, just waiting for him to go back.

He looked at the cake first, and poked it lightly with his chopsticks. It was soft and fluffy. It felt a bit like a chicken cake. The color of the bottom was warm yellow. .

This cake is about the size of a basin, flat and round, with a layer of jam on the top, and some raisins and fruit pieces scattered on it, which looks very tempting.

Zhang Weiguo laughed: "Brother, smell it, it's fragrant. There are 5 eggs added to it, as well as milk powder. The flour is also sun-dried, and there is snow-white sugar. There are a lot of good things in it."

It hurts to look at the dosage. This cake is really a precious item. Look at these things. How can they be worth these good things if they are not expensive.

But it's worth it to put a lot of good things. He thinks he can understand why the price of this thing remains high, and why some people are not discouraged by the price. Just smelling this smell is very tempting. .

If you add cream, it will definitely taste better.

Su An painted the words "Happy Birthday" with dark jam on it. Because it is the same color as the other jams around, it is not too conspicuous, but the goal is achieved. Looking at this cake, the twins laughed until their gums were exposed. Here comes the full display of the joy of the two of them.

But the cake is to be eaten later. They have dinner first, and today's dinner is also very rich.

There is a whole piece of sweet and sour fish, steamed wild pigeon, and fried minced pork with shredded kelp. Another hot wild vegetable, as for the soup, I made a pumpkin cup.

Portions are also adequate.

The twins were Shou Xing Gong, and the two legs of the wild pigeon were given to each of their brothers, and the two wings were given to Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo. Su Hui did not eat it.

She didn't feel the taste of pigeon meat.

I ate a lot of sweet and sour fish.

After eating and drinking, after resting for a while, they officially brought the cake up. For this cake, they restrained their meals a little, and kept their stomachs to eat the cake.

The cake is divided into equal parts by two birthday stars, and then they are sent one by one. The mother is the first to be sent, which is also the largest piece. I specially selected the part of the many fruits above. These fruits are various, including dried fruit, seasonal ones. Fruit, and canned fruit.

Followed by Zhang Baoguo, Zhang Weiguo, and finally his own.

There are no forks for cakes at this time, either with chopsticks or with hands and put them in the mouth, there is not so much attention.

As soon as it was put into his mouth, Zhang Baoguo's eyes widened.

Extremely fluffy and milky silky, it melts in your mouth and your mouth is full of sweetness.

If this type of dim sum is given to the elderly, they should like it very much. Of course, children will also like it very much. Watching a few younger brothers eat without raising their heads, they take small bites, but they move quickly. , After a while, the bottom of the piece will be bottomed out, and the second piece will be picked up silently, fortunately, there is a lot of weight, otherwise it will not be enough.

It was not until all the cakes were finished that everyone had time to speak. Zhang Weiguo licked his lips, feeling a little unfinished: "Mom, are the cakes sold in those shops also like this?"

Su An: "There are two possibilities, one is more delicious, and the other is not so delicious."

This is equivalent to not saying it, but my mother has never eaten it, so there is no way to do it. Zhang Weiguo touched his belly.

"I'm so full, Mom, can I continue to make cakes on my next birthday? I'll help you out when the time comes."

Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo nodded frequently: "We will fight for you together when the time comes."

Even Zhang Baoguo was looking forward to it, but Su An raised her eyelids slightly: "Let's talk about it later." Let's see if she is in the mood then.

Yep, that's it.

They were not disappointed when they heard this answer. There is still so much time left, so let's take a look at it when the time comes.

Mom is talking about being ruthless. When the time comes, they will act like a spoiled child, and there is a high chance that Mom will agree.

After eating too much at night, Zhang Baoguo deliberately went around in circles in the yard to digest food. The four of them had enough to eat and slept a little late. The next day, they got up early to train as usual, and then trotted to the town to go to school.

When he arrived, sooner or later, he sat down at his seat, opened the book, and his deskmate arrived. There was no formal class at this time. Liu Weizhi took out two colorful packages and deliberately asked loudly. : "Zhang Baoguo, my uncle gave me this. He said it was a rare thing given by his superior. I have never eaten this package before, and I don't know what is in it. Have you eaten it before?"

This suddenly caught everyone's attention, and they all looked over.

The candy wrapped in tinfoil was colorful, and the female students liked it when she saw it.

If it was them, they would have to keep the wrapping paper after eating it.

The people in the narration gathered around: "I have never seen this package."

"Yes, I haven't seen it before. Is it a new candy?"

"It should be, looking at that shape, there is nothing else but candy, and biscuits will not be packaged like this."

"Maybe it's a new one."

"Zhang Baoguo probably doesn't know, he has never seen him eat candy biscuits."

"The family is not like us."

"Yeah, why did you ask him, we haven't met."

"Don't give a shit, tell us what this is?"

"Open it and see what's inside?"

"Yes yes yes, let's see."

Zhang Baoguo had no chance to speak.

If it weren't for the seat here, maybe it would be squeezed out.

"Maybe you smashed it, let's have a little bit of it."

Some people have the cheek to say this, and immediately attracted boos. This looks like a high-end product. It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but it's a big face, and there are more than one or two people who are looking forward to it.

But Zhang Weizhi didn't notice everyone's expectations, and directly responded to their words: "This is not good, this thing is so expensive, we can't sell it in our town, it seems that everyone doesn't know it."

He deliberately glanced at the tablemate who didn't speak to him at all: "Zhang Baoguo, why don't you talk, have you never seen it?" He was not curious at all?

I only glanced at it when he just took it out, and then he took the textbook and wrote something, and he didn't know what he was writing, and he was not serious in the whole class, and now he is pretending to be here.

Zhang Baoguo glanced at it and knew what it was. This was chocolate. It was the first time he ate it. It was given by Xie Rui and his brother.

Looking at the packaging, he has eaten more beautifully packaged ones, wrapped in iron boxes.

The supply and marketing cooperatives in the city and the supermarkets in the provincial capital sell chocolates. He still remembers the prices above. For ordinary people, it is definitely a luxury, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.

Even if you bite your teeth and buy it, it is estimated that you will buy a few to try it out.

When he went to the city, Uncle Xiao Gu and Xiao gave them a box once, and Uncle Tanuki also gave it once.

After all, I ate a lot.

Zhang Baoguo was called by his name twice, and it was not good to keep silent: "I don't know, I haven't seen it before."

The answer was not what he expected, but the qi in Liu Weizhi's chest not only did not go down, but instead increased.

He must be pretending, pretending to be indifferent, pretending to be plain as water, in fact, he can't tell what he thinks.

I definitely want to eat it, but I can't keep my face down, so I have to pretend to be unmoved.

Thinking like this, Liu Weizhi smiled. At this time, the class bell rang, and the others slowly went back to their seats. Many of them were still looking at the two candies in front of Liu Weizhi.

Liu Weizhi lowered his voice and said to Zhang Baoguo, "Do you really want to eat it? I won't give it to you!"

Zhang Baoguo: "...?"

Where did you see that I really wanted to eat?

Also, at the same table, do you know that you are really naive and hateful?

———

Su Hui tidied up the things in the mustard seed space, and then went into the deep mountain again to hunt more prey. In her mustard seed space, all crops were grown, and there were no living things. The only living things were raised in large tanks. You can eat fresh fish whenever you want.

In addition, some meat is frozen, and there are hare, pheasant, deer, deer, and wild boar from time to time.

In the past few years, they have been doing well here, and there have been no large-scale disasters like ten years ago.

Therefore, the stability of the past few years has made up some of the vitality lost due to the famine, but the supply of refined grains is still in short supply. After all, the output of rice and wheat is there. Most people still use coarse grains mixed with wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, and refined grains are a small part. It is an expensive thing that people only take out and eat at special times.

The production of rice and wheat is low, their production is not going up, it is not feasible to use them to fill the stomach, only crops with larger harvests can be planted, and now is this period again, the four olds are broken... those things of historical value are either destroyed by Secretly hide it, or destroy it, so as not to bring disaster to the family, it is the easiest time to start.

After this period has passed, its value will increase hundreds of times, and the question of where to hide most people's worries does not hold true for her.

Her mustard space is the safest place, no one can find it no matter what.

Su An was thinking about going back and forth in the day, and the time was calculated. She went to the city to find Brother Hu and provided him with sauces.

He was already an acquaintance with him. After so long, Brother Hu still couldn't find out the details of this person. Either he had a lot of background or he was really talented. In the face of such a situation, he put away all his careful thoughts. , honestly act according to the rules, pay with one hand, and deliver with the other, the relationship between the two is also harmonious.

Hello everyone, let's make money together.

The taste of these sauces is there, he started it, packed it well, and took out the gift, which made a lot of money.

On the other hand, Xiao Gu's situation is not bad. His status is not as well-established as Brother Hu's in the city, but he is already well-known. The sauce he gets from Su An is not as much as Brother Hu's. Fennel also provides high-quality rice, game, fruits, etc. These prices are also high, especially for some rare fruits, which are small, and the price is higher than that of high-quality rice.

He used these to complement others with resources to expand the scope of business.

In this way, even if Su An didn't supply him frequently, he could still support him during that time with those things.

In the beginning, he completely relied on Su An. Later, the proportion of others gradually increased. Up to now, where does Su An come from still account for the bulk of it, and the others can also earn him a bowl of rice to eat, at least , The situation in his home has been greatly improved. Although the clothes in the house are afraid to be exposed, for fear of being reported, but the food is not distressed at all, and everyone eats with a ruddy complexion.

On Brother Hu's side, it's all money transactions. On Xiao Gu's side, he will also use some other things instead. For example, if he gets good fabrics, good dry goods, etc., he will keep some of them. At that time, count them according to their value, especially some good things that some other places have and they don't have here.

Xiao Gu gave a lot of rice, but he had a small head, and Su An kept the big head to exchange for good things.

After making a deal with them, Su An hurriedly went to the stall owner who sold the villain books, first picked out a few villain books for a few children that had not been read before, and then followed him to a strange small book. courtyard.

The owner of the villain bookstore had a smile on his face: "Last time you told me to keep some good things for you, but I deliberately kept it for you under pressure, otherwise it would have been taken away by others."

He said this with a somewhat smug tone.

Su An's eyes fell on the box he opened. There was only one thing in the box, which was wrapped in red cloth. When the red cloth was opened, it was a safe jade lock, the kind used by large families in ancient times for children. This style is very special. Common, uncommon is its jade material.

"Look at this quality, this water head, I have taken over so many, this one is second to none." He smiled.

He is not big, but the quality of jade has nothing to say. The skin is like condensed fat, lustrous and smooth. Su An lightly touched it and nodded, very satisfied: "How much is the price?"

"This one costs four hundred, I call the shots, you can give three hundred and eight."

This price is really not low. A worker, with a certain level and age, can only get more than 30, three hundred and eighty per month, which is a year's salary. The dazzling jade is definitely not made by ordinary people, that is, people who really like this kind of jade, and there is a relationship that will not let it leak to the outside, can afford it.

Afraid that she would be scared away by carrying a price, he explained: "This kind of good thing, if you can't buy it in ten years, let alone a year's salary, this price will only appear in this year."

There is nothing wrong with this, but the price still has to be cut: "Right now, this thing can't be taken out, no matter how good it is, it is still a pearl covered in dust and can't be seen in the light. I want it, and you can give me a sincere price."

"Do you really want it? That's the lowest, three hundred and six."

"Let's round up a whole number, three hundred and five. I brought something else this time. Do you want to accept it?"

This time, she also carried dozens of pounds of things in her backpack, but these dozens of pounds were not rice, but high-quality white sugar.

She planted sugar cane and refined it herself, and she didn't spend much effort. With the formation, she moved it. In terms of value, white sugar is much higher than rice.

"Yes, of course!"

Look at this snow-white appearance, how could he not want it?

He didn't lose to her either, and gave her the price that was higher than the market price.

"do you have anything else?"

"And rice, watermelon, strawberries, grapes."

These fruits are not available this season and are more precious.

"Should I bring it over first?"

"No hurry, no hurry, I still don't believe in your character, let's continue, continue."

"Is there still such jade? I like this quality, no matter the size, color, ancient or modern." There is still a slight gap between this and the best, and it is not too big.

"This is not available now, I will help you pay attention."

"There are still a few paintings and calligraphy, from the Tang and Song Dynasties. You said last time that you paid attention to it for you, and it was specially reserved for you. It is a good thing for everyone, as well as this jade pillow, this copper tripod..."

Because they were no strangers to them, there was a certain guarantee of integrity, so in the face of Su An's advance reservation, he kept a lot of good things, and he didn't let him down. Su An wanted all of these things that he had missed.

Part of it was paid with rice, sugar, and fruit, and the rest was paid in cash.

All of a sudden, the bulk of her inventory went out, lest she have to go and sell them one by one.

That is to say, find a safe place to put it, and then the villain's book stand will take people to move it out, and a lot of things have happened.

Then Su An went to the uncle at the waste collection station. The items there are not as high-quality as here, but there is also an advantage, that is, the quantity is large and the price is affordable.

It's not easy to put large items in his place, but small items can be hidden in the scrapped "garbage" in any corner of the lump.

When she was in the channel, there were still others. Su An, as if she didn't know the old man, first went to find newspapers and books. When there was no one, the old man came over.

"Young man, you haven't been here for a while. If you don't come again, I will give those things to others."

Su Hui handed over: "Why didn't you come, it's just that some things were delayed."

The gates of the toll booths are not closed, and there are ghosts when they are closed during the day. They go to a corner, a corner that others can see in advance when they come in, and block it with something.

The old man took out a shabby sackcloth pocket, which was tied tightly with rope.

He pulled it lightly, and the rope unraveled.

"There are some paintings and calligraphy here. I don't know if they are true or not. You can see for yourself. It costs three yuan a piece."

He pulled another bag: "It's cheaper here, a dollar a piece."

Su Hui squatted down, opened it quickly, and looked at one by one.

She doesn't look at the author, but only at the handwriting and the artistic conception of paintings. Although some are imitations, they are still valuable.

The three-dollar part was specially selected by the old man. There were ten pictures in total, and Su An wanted all of them.

One dollar is more than enough, and Su An chose eight.

All in a tattered sack.

"This, it's some gadgets."

He took out a small box with table legs from a corner and opened the hidden compartment.

There are small items inside.

Pearl jewelry, gold and silver, and a few gems.

"How about the price?"

"One dollar for the top one, then two dollars for the next row, and five dollars for that row at the end."

Su An looked around and found nothing good.

"Master, what about the good things during this time? Is that just this?"

A lot of people don’t want the kind of calligraphy and painting that they miss. It’s paper, which is difficult to preserve and hard to hide.

This little thing is the best seller.

"Also, what are you in a hurry for?" The old man stared, "Isn't this what you like?"

Isn't it just that the collection is a little more. If you want to clear the inventory, why do you ask so much.

Su An picked up a jade lock: "This one." The style is simple and simple, although the texture is not very good.

No, the old man za, let's go, it's better than not seeing any of them.

He put away the box and looked outside, there were few pedestrians on the road.

He entered the back and beckoned her over: "Come here and have a look, this box was reserved for you according to your request."

The box is a camphor wood box, only one corner is missing, there are traces of repair, but it can still be used.

There is a hidden compartment at the bottom, which is opened to reveal a jade Ruyi, a set of ruby ​​heads, and a pair of jade rings.

Unexpectedly, the ruby ​​and emerald are of excellent quality.

This kind of fineness, the old man rarely appears here.

"You're not disappointed, you take all of it, three hundred yuan, no bargaining."

Su An nodded simply: "Deal!"

Then he pulled out another small box: "How about this kind of thing."

Inside is a porcelain bowl and a slender-necked vase.

Things from the Qing Dynasty.

"Do you think it's worth it? One is three pieces, I didn't put the big ones here, they are all in batches, and some others I didn't divide too finely, I'll give you each piece, a total of twenty-three pieces. "

"Sure, I want it all!" The price is not expensive, mainly because the ruby ​​won her heart.

A complete set, evenly, if it is at the villa owner's place, this set will cost several hundred.

Returning with a full reward, most of the money that was just sold to Brother Hu and Xiao Gu was spent like this, and there were only more than 300 left.

She went to the book first, but didn't find what she wanted. She went to the provincial capital by car, went to the library as soon as possible, found the materials she wanted, and then did other things.

This information is the main goal of her coming to the provincial capital.

After he bought the book he wanted, he still had some time left to move around at will. He happened to see a cake shop, walked over, and someone was picking up cakes with a ticket.

The cakes are all ordered in advance, and then the ticket is taken, and the bread can be bought directly. The bread does not need to be purchased in advance, but it must be purchased with the ticket, money and food stamps.

Su Hui bought a bread to try. It tasted good, but she could fairly say that the cake they made was better than this one.

Next, Su Hui deliberately drilled into the alley. This kind of place is the most suitable for private transactions, but today seems to be a special day. People wearing red armbands often appear, even if someone wants to trade, see this situation, not dare.

Su Hui felt bad luck today and was about to leave these alleys when a young man hurried out from the corner of a certain alley. He didn't see Su An, he bumped over, then lowered his head and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." He continued to run, but he was caught by the red armband guarding in front of him before he ran far. At this time, two red armbands ran over from where he ran out of breath, and saw that he was caught by two companions. Stopped, showing a smug smile: "I let you run! Let's see if you can run!"

Then the two people who caught him started to search, but after the search, their expressions changed: "Where are you hiding? I advise you to be honest! Avoid unnecessary suffering."

"What, impossible!" The panting two men kept walking: "We have been following him, absolutely on him!"

Young man: "Have you misunderstood? I didn't bring anything with me, so I brought some money to spare." Only the few cents found, other than that, nothing.

"Let's see, your clothes, take off!"

As a result, I touched it all over, and it was gone. At this time, the shorter one who was still out of breath stopped Su An who was leaving: "You! Yes, just you! Stop! You said, Are you his accomplice and also a capitalist? Hand over what you have!"
