A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

"Xiaomi? Xiaomi is not easy to find." Shen Jiaren replied.

"I know it's hard to find, and I'm not saying I'll need it next time, but I just want you to pay attention. If you have it, please leave some for me. I'll take as many as you have."

When Shen Jiaren heard the tone of the auntie wearing the red armband, she knew that this Xiaomi was probably found for her family.

As the old saying goes, millet porridge is good for health, but I don’t know who the auntie is making this for.

Shen Jiaren nodded and replied, "Xiaomi, I'll keep an eye on this for you, but I can't guarantee whether it's available. If not, this is fine, but if there are too many and you can't take it all by yourself, I may have to trouble you to find someone to share it with."

When the lady wearing the red armband heard this, she said happily, "Okay, okay, okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

After Shen Jiaren nodded twice, the old lady took the eggs and rice and left.

Shen Jiaren returned the scale rod to Aunt Qian, but she didn't know whether this was the daughter-in-law of the old Qian family or Aunt Qian herself.

After thanking the old lady, he packed up his things, which was actually just putting the basket in the backpack, and left the residential building.

After leaving the family building and walking onto the street, Shen Jiaren put the backpack on the ground and sat directly on the curb of the road.

It was a very busy and tiring day. Plus, there were so many people coming and going, and they all wanted things, so Shen Jiaren took care of it.

Although you can just take the things out from the manor, if you promise but fail to do it, it involves a credit issue.

Shen Jiaren sat on the curb and began to think about what she had promised today.

This morning, I promised Sister Su Hongmei that I would prepare twenty eggs and two old hens;

Then came the guy from the black market. He only asked for one hen, and one pound of mushrooms, but he didn't say what kind of mushrooms he wanted. The more troublesome thing was that he asked for ten pounds of apples and cucumbers. The apples were easy to deal with, because he saw them by the ditch in the manor. But for the cucumbers, he didn't know if he could pick so many in his manor.

There was also an auntie wearing a red armband who asked for things twice. This time she asked for fifty eggs and two hens. If possible, she also wanted a rooster and some millet.

As for the money I earned today, I worked hard to run around to three places. Although the total price of selling rice and eggs exceeded that of mushrooms and pine nuts, selling pine nuts and mushrooms is less troublesome and labor-intensive.

If I go to the black market to sell things in the future, I will bring mushrooms with me. After all, there are only a few types of mushrooms at this time. After a while, there will not be so many types. If I want to sell them at that time, I can only sell dried mushrooms.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren thought of the dried mushrooms that she had only cut a little and dried, and wondered how they were doing now.

I will go back and check today. If it is dried, then it is ready. I can bring it to Sister Su Hongmei and let her sell it to see how much it costs. This way, I can know the price when I go to the black market later.

Shen Jiaren sat there and thought about the money she had earned these two times. After all, Sister Su Hongmei hadn't asked for money yet. Not to mention their old relationship, they would meet again tomorrow.

Then I earned about 15 yuan on the black market. I earned more in the family compound just now, a little over 26.5 yuan, but I just spent nearly 30 yuan on buying stamps. Although the stamps will appreciate in value later, at the moment, it is a bit of a headache to spend this money. Although I don't need to buy in such large quantities in the future, this expenditure is continuous, and I need to reserve this part of the money.

Also, considering that banknotes will be cancelled and a new version of RMB will be issued, Shen Jiaren also wants to slowly collect some bills in the next few years as a souvenir or a record.

The more Shen Jiaren thought about it, the more she felt that she hadn't earned much money yet, but had a lot of shortfalls to spend.

But the most important thing at the moment is to carry a notebook and a pen with you, so that when you need to buy things in bulk, you can write them down later and avoid forgetting or making mistakes.

In fact, in the current situation, Shen Jiaren wanted to take out paper and pen from the manor to record it, but she was afraid that the things she took out would not be suitable for this era, so she could only think about it.

However, Shen Jiaren thought that this place was not far from the Xinhua Bookstore, and maybe pens and notebooks were sold there. But then she thought again, she had just taken something from the Xinhua Bookstore and if she met Su Hongmei's sister, how would she explain the empty backpack?

Shen Jiaren thought about it and decided to forget it. She should go back first. It would be the same if she remembered it later when she got back.

Shen Jiaren stood up, patted the dirt on her butt, and walked back towards the village.

After walking for more than forty minutes, Shen Jiaren finally returned to her home.

After a tiring day, Shen Jiaren prepared to go to the manor to take a shower and have a nap, and then talk about it after waking up.

When Shen Jiaren got home and put the backpack in the west room warehouse, and was about to go into the manor to take a bath, she suddenly thought that she should first make a note of the things others wanted, in case she forgot about them after waking up, which would be embarrassing.

Shen Jiaren entered the manor and went straight to the study, found a blank notebook and pen, and began to take notes.

After recording the date needed, the person who wanted the goods, the details of the goods wanted, the formula for calculating the price, etc., Shen Jiaren placed the account book on the table in the study so that she could take it easily when the time came.

After Shen Jiaren finished writing down the accounts, she turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower, change clothes, and prepare to go to bed and rest.

When Shen Jiaren woke up from the big bed in the manor, she was already half asleep. However, because she was still inside the manor, although it looked like the afterglow of sunset was outside, she was afraid of the time difference, so Shen Jiaren hurried out of the manor and prepared to lie down on the kang outside for a while.

Shen Jiaren lay down on the kang and found that the sun was still shining brightly outside. She turned over and fell asleep.

When Shen Jiaren woke up again this time, it really looked like the afterglow of the sunset outside. After lingering on the kang for a while, Shen Jiaren got up and prepared to go to the manor to pick apples and cucumbers, and count eggs, in preparation for tomorrow's delivery.

After changing into work clothes, Shen Jiaren went to the manor's planting mission field to check on the cucumbers to see if she could pick ten kilograms of cucumbers.

When Shen Jiaren walked to the planting task field, the task panel of the manor system began to flash.

After Shen Jiaren clicked on it, she found that it was a prompt that the planting task was completed, the cucumbers were ripe, and whether to harvest them.

Shen Jiaren didn't hesitate and clicked on the harvest directly.

After harvesting the cucumbers, the planting task field was prompted to be ready for planting, and optional items appeared on the planting interface. Shen Jiaren clicked on it and found that she could choose to plant rice and cucumbers.

Shen Jiaren originally wanted to continue planting cucumbers. After all, winter was coming. Although the cucumbers in the manor warehouse could be stored fresh, in order not to attract attention, she must make some pickles or pickled vegetables. Cucumbers were one of them, and she also loved eating cucumbers.

I love to eat scrambled eggs with cucumber, cucumber and egg buns, cucumber and egg dumplings, cold dishes, as well as those soaked in vinegar, pickled in sauce, etc.

But when I thought about the land other than the mission fields, I planted rice last time, and it looked like it would be harvested soon. Moreover, the task panel seemed to prompt that after the planting of the mission fields was successful, I would start planting on a large scale in places other than the mission fields.

Although I don’t know how the system will solve the problem of the cucumber rack supports, the next step is definitely to plant cucumbers.

Since the next step is to plant cucumbers on a large scale, cucumbers will not be planted in the mission field first. Rice will be planted next. After you have seeds of other crops, you can plant new crops.

After Shen Jiaren figured it out, she continued to plant rice in the mission field.

After the planting was completed, Shen Jiaren went to the chicken coop in the manor, ready to see if there were any roosters inside, whether the eggs were picked up automatically, and whether it was the same as the last time she came in, and she could always see the eggs at a glance.

Shen Jiaren walked over to the rudimentary chicken coop she had made, and looked at the chicken nests on each branch fork, in which there was an egg. Although the entire chicken coop was full of chicken droppings, at least it was not as messy as the last time she saw it.

Shen Jiaren looked in the chicken coop for a long time and finally saw a few roosters. Although there were not many, it didn't look like they would become extinct if they were caught with just two or three.

Shen Jiaren was relieved when she saw this. She would not tie up the chickens today. She would prepare the sacks and cloth strips tomorrow and catch the chickens tomorrow morning.

Shen Jiaren was about to walk directly to the warehouse outside the manor and count the corresponding eggs. At least she wouldn't have to worry about chickens. The only thing left was picking apples.

Before Shen Jiaren left the chicken coop, she saw the manor system task panel flashing continuously. When Shen Jiaren opened it, she found that it was a collection task, but this collection task was to collect chicken manure.

I saw on the task panel that it said,

Daily tasks

Daily collection task: Collect chicken manure

Task situation: In order to avoid the accumulation of chicken manure in the chicken coop, the chicken manure in the chicken coop needs to be removed and piled up.

Task Description: Collect chicken manure, pile it up to the specified level according to the task instructions, and compost it according to the task description.

Task guide: Guide to the stacking location.

Task Rewards: Manor operation system points will be awarded based on task completion.

After reading the introduction of this task, Shen Jiaren became a little curious, because this place only mentions collection, but does not mention how to deal with it after it is piled at the designated location. Although it mentions piling up the manure, there is no detailed explanation of how to pile up the manure.

Maybe after the chicken manure is moved over and re-triggered, a task about piling manure will appear.

When Shen Jiaren thought of this, she directly found a cart and a shovel from the manor's system.

After finding it, Shen Jiaren began to process the chicken manure according to the location indicated by the task instructions, like Yugong moving a mountain.

You know, although this is in the manor space, and although some of the chicken manure is a bit old and a bit dry, some of it is still in the state of just being excreted.

When Shen Jiaren entered the chicken coop and started to deal with chicken manure, she knew that the pair of shoes on her feet were scrapped and she had special shoes to use when working in the manor in the future.

After all, when Shen Jiaren took a look at the chicken manure on her shoes, and thought about the fact that she would have to do this every once in a while, she no longer planned to wash or change her shoes.

I am prepared to continue contributing to the land of the manor as long as my shoes are not worn out.

Shen Jiaren pushed the cart half way up and half down for several times, and finally removed all the chicken manure and soil on the ground and moved them to the designated place.

After moving to the designated location, Shen Jiaren saw that the system task interface showed that the task was completed, and there was no flashing of new tasks.

Shen Jiaren used a shovel to shovel soil from the side to cover the chicken manure on the cart. Then she stuck the shovel into the soil and walked towards the chicken coop.

Don't ask why Shen Jiaren did this. The reason is that Shen Jiaren felt that the cart and shovel smelled bad, so she covered them with soil. When Shen Jiaren came to use the cart and shovel again a few days later, she just had to clean the soil off them, and they would be a clean cart and shovel, no longer a shovel and cart covered with chicken manure.

As soon as Shen Jiaren walked to the chicken coop, she saw the task panel flashing again. After Shen Jiaren clicked on the task panel, she found that this task was to spread straw in the chicken coop, but the straw required was broken straw.

When Shen Jiaren saw this, she was a little confused. Why was it broken straw? Couldn't whole straw be used?

Moreover, why do we need to spread a layer of soil inside the chicken coop before laying the straw? What is the significance of spreading the soil?

Shen Jiaren didn't understand it, but was ready to start doing it according to the task instructions. However, she probably couldn't achieve the goal with broken straws, so she could only throw whole straws.

Shen Jiaren went to dig soil according to the instructions on the mission route and found that the place where she dug soil was not far from the place where she made compost. What was more strange was that the range for digging soil was a square and she was only allowed to dig soil within this area.

Shen Jiaren followed the mission instructions, took the soil, and then according to the mission animation instructions, spread the soil into the chicken coop, and then began to lay straw inside.

The soil was spread in a thick layer, but the straw was spread in a thin layer. After completing the task, Shen Jiaren looked at the golden ground in the chicken coop, and then thought of the scene of herself shoveling shit just now. After adding the color she had just seen to this golden color, Shen Jiaren felt that she would not be able to indicate the color golden in the future.

After Shen Jiaren finished the task in the chicken coop, she felt that she couldn't get involved in anything related to chickens at this time, especially now that she smelled of chicken shit, so she didn't want to count eggs at all.

Shen Jiaren took out a basket and a sickle from the system in the manor, and prepared to go to the planting task field to start harvesting the ten kilograms of apples needed for tomorrow.
