Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

The next day, Gu Mingyue once again placed the small stone at her uncle's house.

Because Dandan was there, the little guy obviously didn't feel as resistant as before.

This time, Gu Mingyue decided to take the ox cart, even though it was still bumpy.

But 'choose the lesser of two evils'!

She still chose the less crazy one.

The last time I went to town to see off the Qi family, I never thanked Uncle Gu, but I happened to meet him today.

When they got off the bus in town, Gu Mingyue took advantage of her uncle's inattention and put two steamed buns into his pocket.

It looks similar to what we have today, but it actually contains white flour, carrots, green vegetables and sesame oil.

Anyway, she got scolded a lot when she took it to her sister-in-law's house in the morning.

Second Uncle Gu didn't want it, and Gu Mingyue pretended to be angry and said, "What's the matter? It's just two steamed buns. Your niece invited you to eat, but you don't even give me some noodles."

Uncle Gu knew that Mingyue said that on purpose, and he wasn't good at speaking.

I could only thank Mingyue embarrassedly.

He didn't take out the steamed buns until Gu Mingyue left.

There are many children in the family and the expenses are high, so we only have rice soup twice a day.

I drank it before I went out in the morning, and it was digested before I got to town.

If you are really hungry at noon, take out a hard cake, borrow some hot water from the tea stall next to you, and drink it to get you home.

He's used to it too.

But now, smelling the fragrance of the steamed bun, I couldn’t help but take a bite. Oh my god, it smells so good.

Uncle Gu felt that the steamed bread in his hand became much heavier.

They must have added white flour and sesame oil, otherwise how could it be so soft and fragrant.

Thinking that I should take better care of Mingyue in the future, I carefully put the steamed bun into my arms.

Go back and grind it into powder and cook it in rice soup. It can be eaten for two meals. It’s made of white flour. The old woman and children at home will definitely be happy.

Gu Mingyue and Zhou Lao were in the backyard of the landlord's house, which was a deserted orchard.

It is said that the ghost howlings of the landlord's family came from this garden. It is said that there must be a lot of dead bodies buried under the garden, so the ghosts of the wronged people are still there.

Gu Mingyue saw the holes on the wall and had some guesses.

The so-called ghost howling is probably caused by the wind blowing through these holes.

Just as blowing a flute with your mouth can produce a sound, the cold wind blowing through these rough walls creates friction and vibration, causing the sound to become strange.

Although people nowadays resist feudal superstition, the thinking of the older generation has not been completely changed.

Relatively speaking, I am more likely to believe those unfounded claims. It's just a pity for such a big house.

Gu Mingyue wandered around and specially found someone to learn the detection and counter-detection, as well as tracking and counter-tracking.

Even if she only learned the basics, it would be enough for her now.

After making sure that there was no one around, she put on her makeup, took out the chopped mutton, thought for a while, and then took out two baskets.

One put two watermelons in it, and the other put two pig heads in it.

Boss Zhou has been anxious these past two days, fearing that something might go wrong with Gu Mingyue and delay his own work.

I rushed to arrange everything, just waiting for today.

The two parties met and exchanged pleasantries.

"Sister Jin, this is the cement and bricks you requested. I've gathered some extra for you to be on the safe side. I've also found some extra sand and pebbles for you. I wonder if you can use them."

Boss Zhou was really flawless in his work, and these things really touched her heart.

She nodded with satisfaction, "Boss Zhou is thoughtful."

As he said this, he put the mutton in his hand into the basket with the pig heads and handed it to Boss Zhou, "There is a mutton on top and two pig heads on the bottom.

I originally thought that the more gifts you give, the less blame you will give me. I didn't expect you to be so generous, Boss Zhou. This makes me feel ashamed of what I have given you. "

How could Boss Zhou dislike it? He even admires it so much.

He opened the basket and smelled it. There was no peculiar smell, and the pig heads were all cleaned up. He was even happier. "Sister Jin is particular. To be honest, this is the gift you gave me.

Meat is really in short supply now, and your things are more valuable than mine, so I think we should not be too modest with each other. I appreciate your kindness, and if you have any problems in the future, just let me know, and I will definitely get it done for you."

Gu Mingyue cupped her hands and said, "Okay, then I'll let you be my brother. Speaking of which, I really have something to trouble you with, brother."

"Speak, big sister."

"It's not a big deal. I just want you to help me get some food. Coarse grains, fine grains, or old grains are all fine, as long as they're not bad. Even potatoes and sweet potatoes are fine. I want as many as you can get."

Boss Zhou was puzzled. "Sister, what's this?"

"Well, I heard there was a disaster in the southwest, so I want to go there to earn some money." Gu Mingyue said, making a money gesture with her thumb and index finger.

Boss Zhou suddenly realized what was going on, but he became even more fearful.

It seems that there must be someone behind this Sister Jin, otherwise how could she go there so far away just like that?

As for doubting the truth of her words, it was even more impossible. Even though food was a little tight now, the supply from the north was still sufficient.

If it weren't for food trading, who would hoard old grain?

I didn't expect that my elder sister was so courageous and dared to run so far.

He flattered her by saying, "Big sister is really well-informed. Next time there is an opportunity to make money, please remember me."

Gu Mingyue said unceremoniously, "Sure, sure."

She didn't hide it and said directly, "I have a watermelon in my hand and a few pig heads. If Boss Zhou finds the things, let's see how you want to trade."

"watermelon?"

It’s no wonder that Boss Zhou was surprised. Nowadays, there is not enough land to grow grain, let alone fruit.

Even if there is, the output is low and it simply cannot reach their corner.

Who is this Miss Jin from now on who has come to town?

Gu Mingyue took out a watermelon from another basket and said, "It's hot today. You must be tired from moving things. I'll treat you all."

The people following Boss Zhou couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen.

This is the treatment for doing this kind of work. I hope more generous clients like you will come in the future.

Sure enough, what the boss said was right. If you follow the right person, they can be full just by letting a little food leak from their fingertips.

The monkey was there today too, and wisely led people to move a stone table nearby to the center.

Gu Mingyue randomly pulled out a machete, which frightened Monkey and the others so much that they took a big step back.

Gu Mingyue cut the watermelon with a knife and said, "Try it."

Boss Zhou glared at his subordinates who had embarrassed themselves, and took the lead in picking up a piece to taste. At that moment, the coolness went straight to his heart, and he exclaimed happily, "Wow, it's so sweet."

The more you eat, the more active your mind becomes.

If you send this watermelon to a noble person, you will surely be honored.

Or send it to the supply and marketing cooperative, which is another favor. Send a few to the factory, and he will definitely be ahead in this year's procurement task.

After much hesitation, Boss Zhou said directly, "I'll take this business."

After that, he asked embarrassedly, "Sister Jin, do you still have any goods?"

Gu Mingyue said succinctly, "There are several."

Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, Boss Zhou rubbed his hands and said, "Then I wonder if you can give me some in advance."

Gu Mingyue looked him up and down. "How are you going to buy it, Boss Zhou?"

Boss Zhou thought for a moment and said, “Watermelons are now 7 cents per pound on the market, and generally they are out of stock;

Even if they are available, they won’t be as good as your watermelons. I won’t play dumb with you. I’ll charge you 20 cents per pound.”

There are 5000 watermelons in Gu Mingyue's space, each weighing an estimated 15 to 20 kilograms.

It was the Xiaye watermelon that was specially purchased in Xinjiang at that time, and its sweetness reached over 12 degrees.

Of course you can’t eat it or buy it here.

But the price was still not enough, so she stretched out her hand and gestured, "Fifty cents, I'll give you 50."

Boss Zhou frowned slightly and said, "Sister Jin, this price is a bit high."

Gu Mingyue pointed at the watermelon and said, "You have tasted it too. I am not exaggerating. This watermelon of mine may not be edible even in Beijing. It was not easy for my brother to get it back.

This is the price I’m giving you as a friendly price. Otherwise, I can still sell it if I raise the price to one dollar!”

Boss Zhou knew that what Sister Jin said was true, and after calculating the profits, he finally agreed, "Okay, deal."
