Chapter 2 Luck and Fertilizer
Probably the most painful thing in the world is that when you are hungry, you can't eat a bite of food in your arms, beef is a hard-earned use, and half a tortilla is to save a sick mother and an eye-sick brother for dinner. Su Guoguo thought so in his heart as he walked towards the street where the fish stall was located.
It is said that before Su Guoguo arrived at the fish stall, he saw the proprietress chatting with a chubby aunt with a full face in front of the fish stall.
The two of them saw Su Guoguo, but they both smiled.
The aunt with a meaty face beckoned Su Guoguo to come.
"Hey, you're really capable, you cut ten handfuls of firewood, what's the matter, you're here to help people scrape fish scales for fish?"
Su Guoguo was stunned, and said in her heart, how can this aunt with a meaty face know so clearly?
The fish stall proprietress opened her mouth and smiled at Su Guoguo, "Your aunt is the owner of the meat stall, didn't you see it just now?" ”
Yes! Su Guoguo suddenly realized, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly.
When the two women saw her honest smile and pitiful appearance, they were unconsciously moved by compassion, and it was precisely because of her kindness that the proprietress of the fish stall reluctantly agreed to let Su Guoguo help scrape the scales for fish yesterday. This is something that the proprietress of the fish stall can do on her own.
There are two large baskets of fresh fish in the corner, which is the fish ordered by the rich man of the county seat, and he bought a total of four baskets of fresh fish, because he will have a birthday tomorrow, and these fish are bought to put the whole fish feast and entertain the poor, and he has blessed them with more than one year for the poor.
The three women set up three mazas, took small spatulas, and began to scrape the scales.
With the help of two people, Su Guoguo really saved a lot of effort, when scraping the fish scales, the three of them chatted and gossiped, and they all knew each other, and they also asked Su Guoguo, a peasant girl, why did she change for beef and fish, why didn't she change more hungry and affordable coarse grains?
Su Guoguo couldn't tell the truth, so she had to make up a nonsense and tell them that her brother in the family had recovered from a serious illness and needed to eat to make up for his body.
It would have taken more than an hour to complete the work, but because of the help of two people, after more than half an hour, the two baskets of fish were packed up and erected.
The proprietress of the fish stall asked Su Guoguo to pick the tail fish and take it away, Su Guoguo saw that the scaleless fish were very fat, but they couldn't use it, and they had to have scaly fish. So, Su Guoguo chose the smallest carp in another basket, slipped it in his hand, and smiled at the two, "That's it." My mother said that small fish with scales are a big supplement. ”
Su Guoguo waved goodbye to the two proprietresses, happily carried the carp, and walked out of Wusu County. Walking along the official road to Baishi Village for about five miles, although Su Guoguo was hungry but hopeful, he didn't feel particularly difficult, he carried the fish, and returned to the village after a while, and saw his mother standing at the door of his yard from afar.
"Mother."
Su Guoguo walked a few steps with the fish, and Su Mu saw her half-drooping eyelids, and her tired appearance showed her the fish with a smile, and her eyes were red and she cried.
"Brother Li said that you are still in the county and have not come back, and you will not come back until evening, my mother and your brother are really worried about you. Thank goodness you're back! The county is chaotic... ”
Lao Li at the entrance of the village can be in his fifties, but according to his generation, he and Su Guoguo's father and mother are the same generation.
Su Guoguo didn't want to listen to these useless words, so she hurriedly asked her mother to return to the hospital, closed the door of the hospital, wiped her tears for her mother, and said, "Mother, tears can't solve the problem. ”
Su Mu wiped her tears and nodded hard.
At the door of the house, Suning Shang held on to the door frame, gasped a few times, and barely stood up and said, "Guoguo is back." ”
"Brother! I am back. ”
Su Guoguo looked at Su Mu beside him and said, "Mother, brother, you two wait for me, and I'll give you a little surprise later." ”
Su Guoguo locked himself in the improvised adobe firewood house.
She put the beef and fish in her arms on the dry wood, and then took out the half of the tortilla, which was already a little dry, but it still tasted very good. Su Guoguo divided the half of the corn tortilla in half, and then went to the courtyard and gave them to his mother and brother.
"Eat. This is the cake that Uncle Li gave me at the entrance of the village. I ate half of it myself... Hehe, you two can eat the rest of it. But don't worry, I'll make sure you have a full meal in a moment. ”
"Here she is again. What do you want us to eat? Suning Shang sniffed the smell of corn tortillas and asked Su Guoguo.
Su Guoguo smiled and said, "Guoguo has its own clever plan, one does not steal and the other does not rob, and it is guaranteed to be innocent food." ”
Su Guoguo asked Su Mu again, "Mother, what about the stones I asked you to boil?" ”
"In the house. Girl, what the hell are you doing with these stones? And the fish... It looks expensive... ”
"Great use! Keep it a secret, though. Fish, it's not something we eat, it's also a big use, and it has to be kept secret. ”
When Su Mu heard this, she smiled helplessly and took a bite of the tortilla.
Su Guoguo smiled and invited her mother and brother into the house, told them to sit, and poured them white water to eat the tortillas.
"You two are eating and drinking. I'll go too. ”
Su Guoguo held the clean stone and slipped back to the firewood room.
Su Guoguo put the stone next to the beef, then closed the door tightly, and looked out the window again, and saw the good letter from his mother and brother, so he rubbed his finger against a quaint small ring ring on his finger.
Su Guoguo raised his hand, and the moonlight refracted the ring, but a rather large black shadow appeared on the ground.
Su Guoguo took the stones, beef, and fish out of the space in turn, and then sat down next to a relatively large vending machine to take a break.
This ring is a birthday gift given to her by her eldest brother in her previous life who looks exactly like Suning Shang, and since the day she crossed over, on the mountain, she accidentally found such a space, and such a large daily necessities vending machine.
Su Guoguo may have escaped debts and drove the aircraft out of control before crashing into a vending plane on the side of the road and exploding to death, as if there was a daily necessities store next to it? I don't think there's any other store coming, but I can't remember exactly, but maybe it has something to do with it. Maybe they traveled with themselves, and there were no such things in ancient times, so they became spatial existences.
Su Guoguo was a little remorseful, why didn't she crash into the bank and blow it up? Otherwise, wouldn't you have a space bank?
There are many displays on the vending machine, but only the bottom row on the left-hand side, the only marked item, the fast-acting fertilizer. On the display next to it, even upwards, there are big golden question marks.
Su Guoguo may have to buy this fertilizer to unlock the second item.
Another strange thing about this vending machine is that it doesn't charge money, and you have to exchange it for what it prompts.
A hundred grams of fast-acting fertilizer in a bag, this thing is a very common item in the world where Su Guoguo lived, but it has become a treasure here! The goods are exchanged for three catties of beef, two catties of clean and immaculate stones, and one full fish.
The devil knows that these things have something to do with making fertilizer.
Su Guoguo took a closer look at the stone and found that it was very clean! It was smooth, and I nodded with satisfaction, and put it in a large funnel at the bottom of the vending machine, and then put in the beef, and then the fish.
Su Guoguo couldn't wait to press the buy button.
Spit at the vending machine, and a small bag of fast-acting fertilizer fell out.
Su Guoguo hugged this small bag of fertilizer with a happy appearance, and she had never felt such a sense of accomplishment in her heart. She felt that her hard day's work was worth not eating beef and fish, and with this small bag of fast-acting fertilizer, her family of three would not be hungry for at least a few days.
