I also bought a shallow water tank that a wealthy family used to raise fish in their yard, and moved it away with the shocked eyes of their waiter.
Su Ruyi left the shop, turned left and right, and shouted one last time at the children who were watching the fun behind her. Then, no one was around, and she moved the water tank into the space.
The water tank is placed inside the wooden house. It is more than enough to put the whole sheep into the water tank.
I also bought a small peach wood box and placed it in the corner of the wooden house to store silver and copper coins.
Then I bought another small pot, a ready-made iron stove, a kitchen knife, a chopping board, a square table, four benches, rice, flour, oil, soy, vinegar and tea.
Su Ruyi clapped her hands and said, "That's it. This is how my own space looks like."
With all this shopping, time flies by and it’s already dark.
Su Ruyi didn't plan to stay at the inn, so she went straight out of the city gate and walked down the official road. When she looked up, there was no one anywhere, so she opened a space and got in.
When I was lighting the fire, I realized that I had forgotten to buy charcoal, so I had to go out and pick up a big armful of firewood under the dark moonlight.
I followed my mother-in-law Zhang's example and opened the pot, then cut off a large piece of hind leg meat from the sheep and threw it into the pot to cook. I pulled a piece of ginger from the ground, threw it into the pot, and sprinkled two tablespoons of salt on it. Go in.
Today, she was guarding an entire sheep in space alone, and she had to eat it all at once.
When the mutton was almost cooked, I pulled a white radish from the ground, cut it into thick slices and threw it in.
The original plan was to cook the mutton and then cook some rice, but she was full with a large piece of mutton. She also ate half a cucumber to relieve her tiredness, and she didn't want to eat anything else.
Just save the dry rice for next time.
Wiped his mouth and went to count the silver.
Today I got a total of 100 taels of silver and 1,200 copper plates.
I had a great meal in the afternoon and spent nearly twelve taels.
It's money well spent.
Then he put aside the ten taels of silver he planned to pay for Hu Langzhong's tuition, and he still had more than seventy taels of silver left.
The family members must not believe that there are more than seventy taels of silver. For generations, the Lu family has never seen as much money as one hundred taels of silver.
But at this time, Su Ruyi felt that it was nothing more than that. After spending a few times, it would be gone. She still had to earn a lot of money. Seventy taels of silver did not feel very safe at all.
After sleeping in the space for one night, when I woke up the next day, there was bright light both inside and outside the space.
It was also afternoon when we returned to the village.
Everyone in the family was in the house. When Su Ruyi came in, the women and children rushed over.
"Ruyi, are you okay? Just come back!"
"Has the official made things difficult for you?"
"It scared us to death!"
Several people slapped Su Ruyi and checked whether her arms and legs were intact.
Su Ruyi was confused. She was just going to Tongzhou City to deliver walnuts, not to die. Why was she so nervous?
"Mom, I came back from shopping. You guys hurry up and pick them up, but I'm exhausted!"
Su Ruyi shouted, in fact, she was not tired at all. She walked near the village and then went into the space to cut a few feet off each piece of cloth. She also cut a leg off the sheep and tied it with a straw rope, and then came back as a show.
After hearing her shout, everyone rushed to take the things, but they didn't care about what Su Ruyi brought back.
Mrs. Zhang grabbed Su Ruyi's arm: "Tell me, what happened during your trip to Tongzhou?"
Su Ruyi: "Nothing happened. I just sent the walnuts to Yang Mansion and came back."
"real?"
"How can we still have a holiday? Did something happen at home? Why are you so nervous?"
The three women breathed a sigh of relief, sent the children following behind to play by themselves, and pulled Su Ruyi to sit down at the table in the yard.
"There is nothing going on at home, we are worried about you——"
It turned out that Liu Cuier was staying at home today. In the middle of the morning, while she was weeding in the field, several men loudly asked who belonged to Su Ruyi's family.
It almost scared her out of her wits at that time.
Although they just asked her for the way to the mountain and confirmed with her whether Su Ruyi had picked walnuts from the mountain and then went up the mountain.
Liu Cuier pointed the way in confusion, and stood at the end of the field for a long time, unable to regain her senses. The villagers gathered around and asked what happened. She pushed them away, went home, put down the hoe, told her man, and hurried to the town. Zhang and Li Baozhu were called back.
Everyone didn't know what happened, and they were all anxious in the yard. They even thought that Su Ruyi had done something serious this time and might not be able to come back...
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."
The three people relaxed and murmured.
Su Ruyi smiled and said: "Mom, don't keep thinking about it all day long, how big a deal can I do? Okay, everyone has a day off today."
Mrs. Zhang glared at her: "You are heartless, you only have a bold heart. Are the officials so easy to deal with? In short, we are just people who eat from the ground. It is better not to deal with those noble people in the future. In my heart Not grounded.”
Su Ruyi knew that since ancient times, civilians had admired and feared official power, so it was understandable that her mother-in-law was afraid.
In my previous life, the relationship between officials and people had been infinitely closer, but officials were officials and people were people, and there were still barriers in between.
Nowadays, officials are the pride of heaven, and they are in two different worlds from ordinary people. The rank of an official is still overwhelming, not to mention the difference between officials and civilians.
"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't I come back well? The Yang family is a reasonable family. Look what I brought back!"
Su Ruyi said a few words of comfort and hurriedly changed the subject.
Everyone had just calmed down from the shock, and then they paid attention to the things Su Ruyi brought back.
It was three large pieces of cloth, each one several feet long.
There is also a leg of lamb, with bones and meat included!
The women were also very coaxing, and their attention was immediately diverted, and they started chattering.
"The material of this cloth is really good. I have never worn such good material before!"
"Can this cloth be used for at least two sets of clothes?"
"How did you calculate? At least you have made a few clothes! Su Ruyi, why did you buy such good materials? Isn't it a waste for people like us to use it? It's really a lot of money!"
"What is this floral cloth used for? It's so beautiful!"
…
Su Ruyi looked in the direction of the back mountain and immediately guessed what was going on.
Didn't Mrs. Yang say yesterday that she was going to send someone up the mountain to find the thousand-year-old walnuts? Unexpectedly, she would move so quickly and arrive earlier than herself.
Let them look for it. If they can't find it, they will know that they are not lying. That walnut tree is really evil!
"Su Ruyi, how much did the walnuts cost yesterday?"
Mrs. Zhang put down the leg of lamb and cloth and asked curiously.
Just the leg of lamb and the fabric cost a lot of money, right?
How valuable those walnuts must be!
