Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 107 Discovering New Features

Friday.

Xiaoshi next to Yonghe Temple is open.

Sumu made a small profit of three digits and sold two bags of stick noodles.

As the food shortage crisis intensified, there were obviously fewer customers buying white noodles.

Fortunately, Sumu already has three regular customers with stable output.

Jia Dongxu, Na Lao and Lao Jin.

Profits can still be guaranteed.

It's just that Jia Dongxu's situation is a bit special.

In recent transactions, it is obvious that he has become more cautious.

It's not that he doubts Su Mu's identity, but he's cautious about spending.

All the hesitations are due to poverty.

All hesitation is due to cowardice.

Jia Dongxu is uncharacteristically different, which can only show that he is not that confident.

Perhaps the family has more income than income, which has hit the bottom line.

Or perhaps the rumored natural drought this year has made him not optimistic about the food shortage situation, and he has begun to prepare for a protracted war.

Next Wednesday, Jia Dongxu hopes to buy 100 kilograms of stick noodles for the first time.

The quantity is not much for Sumu, but it is not white flour.

Bangzi noodles.

If it was as he expected, Su Mu would have to make new considerations.

Businessmen are not philanthropists.

If the Jia family's purchasing desire declines, Su Mu will naturally consider 'abandoning' him.

Xiaoshi gained a lot today. In addition to a lot of money, there was also a pile of bills, including a ticket for a Yan brand sewing machine, which made Su Mu very happy.

This is a hot commodity.

Having a sewing machine at home not only helps you get married, but also makes it easier to do odd jobs at home.

Qin Huairu has a sewing machine at home. She uses her free time to mend clothes and make curtains, etc., which helps her to subsidize the family every month.

Yesterday, my sister-in-law mentioned that one of her colleagues’ younger brothers was getting married and she was shopping around for sewing tickets.

Isn't it a coincidence.

Although people who work in supply and marketing cooperatives are envied by people, no matter how many things they have, they are still public property.

If you want to buy something, especially such a large item, you must also buy a ticket.

One vote can kill half the city.

Especially during this period, if you don’t have tickets, you can only buy them through channels that buy high-priced products.

Not to mention how distressing it is.

It's convenient for others and convenient for yourself.

Su Mu planned to give this sewing ticket to Li Xiaolan's colleagues at a fair price.

back home.

The kitchen in the east wing was already filled with smoke.

Every household in the entire courtyard lit up briquette stoves.

Well, the Su family uses the latest briquette stove, so they don’t have to apply mud every now and then, and they don’t have to worry about difficulty in ignition.

The only one in the whole courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, I came across a sewing ticket today and I cashed it in."

"How much did it cost? I'll ask Xiao Wang to pay it back to you later."

"Sister-in-law, you may want it."

Su Mu went to the West House for a walk.

No one lives in this room, and there are some sundries and boxes piled up.

It was originally planned to be used by Su Mu.

As a result, the wing room was so upright that it was left unused.

"Why do I want it? Brother, tell me the number. It's hard to get tickets now. I guess I can get more tickets."

"How do you ask me to give you a price? You have to inquire about this matter first. After asking for the price clearly, you can tell your colleague. Being able to solve the problem for her is just kindness. There is no need to give more or less..."

Su Yingjun knew how Sumu was exchanged for cash.

Even though it had been so long, he was still a little shocked every time he thought about it.

Su Yingjun didn't have much reaction on the surface. In fact, he was shocked by his younger brother's business talent.

If he and Su Chuanbai hadn't both believed that being a soldier was the best path, it would have been possible that Su Mu would have continued studying and eventually become a cadre in the Ministry of Commerce because of this incident.

But it would be nice to go to the army.

For the big-headed soldiers who fight and kill all day long, a 'talent' like Su Mu is definitely a treasure in logistics.

That is to say, he was born at the wrong time.

Su Yingjun even felt that if Su Mu had been born 18 years earlier and had been targeted by his father-in-law, he would have been the chief of staff of the military region by now.

It's a level that can be lived in the general building.

Not much worse than Uncle Zhao.

Su Mu didn't know what his eldest brother and father were thinking, so he missed a good opportunity to work at the Ministry of Commerce.

"Okay, I'll ask around later."

It's not that Li Xiaolan doesn't know how her little brother operates. If the boss doesn't tell him, she won't chase him around the pillow and ask questions.

It's just that I didn't remember it for a while.

After dinner.

The three went out together.

Big brother and sister-in-law go to work.

Su Mu rode a scooter straight to the Dongcheng District Library.

Yesterday I knew that Ran Qiuye would go to the library to read and study this morning.

Su Mu casually made an appointment with her.

As for a man, he will go there with saliva and tears.

Just leave early.

Arrive at the entrance of the library courtyard.

The main door is not open, and only library staff can enter through the small door.

As soon as Su Mu stopped the car, someone tapped him on the back shoulder.

back.

I saw Ran Qiuye smiling.

"Morning."

Ran Qiuye was the first to say hello.

"Morning. Have you eaten?"

"Ate."

Su Mu reached into his pocket and took out two eggs that he had prepared in advance.

"Bring it for you."

"Oh, this is too expensive, I can't have it."

"Just take it, I'll give it to you in exchange for fish."

As he spoke, he took Ran Qiuye's hand and put the still warm egg into her palm.

Ran Qiuye's fingers are very slender, and her palms are fleshy and soft.

The back of the hand and fingers are very bony.

Su Mu thought he didn't have a fetish for hands, but he still couldn't put it down for Ran Qiuye's little paws.

Ran Qiuye's face turned red and the hand holding the egg shrank back.

Maybe I thought it was impolite to take someone else's egg and then shake off their hand, so I gave up immediately without moving away.

But holding hands in public is still unsightly.

Ran Qiuye took two steps forward, so that the two of them were closer, and the hand being held was hidden between them.

"Where did you change it? Is it a ghost market?"

Ran Qiuye asked quietly.

This is not appropriate to say loudly in front of others.

The two of them were chatting quietly.

"You, a girl from out of town, also know about the pigeon market in the capital?"

"The ghost market is also called the pigeon market. This is not exclusive to the capital, it can be found in other places as well."

"It is true that where there is demand, there will be transactions. This is the law of the market."

Ran Qiuye's eyes flashed with light.

What surprised Su Mu was the words he blurted out from time to time.

There is always a very insightful feeling.

This kind of mystery makes Ran Qiuye a little obsessed.

At some point, the hand he was holding was released.

Ran Qiuye still felt a little regretful in her heart, and she didn't know what was going on.

"Which black market did you get the eggs from?"

Ran Qiuye continued to ask in a lowered voice.

"There is a black market near the Lama Temple on Friday. We call it Xiaoshi here. It means gathering in the middle of the night and dispersing at dawn." "Oh."

"You don't want to go, do you? If you want to change anything, I'll just help you."

Ran Qiuye shook his head immediately.

The little head shook like a rattle, and he looked like a frightened little rabbit.

Why such a big reaction?

Su Mu was a little surprised, but it was hard to go into details.

Because at this moment, there were people queuing up in front and behind, and the library door was also open.

"Let's go."

Su Mu originally wanted to say goodbye to Ran Qiuye, but seeing that the atmosphere was so good, he was unwilling to ruin it.

I just nodded in agreement.

On the Gutou side, we can only delay it for a while.

There is really no way.

Compared with a bad old man, Su Mu is more attracted to a skinny girl.

After all, boys are very interested in beautiful things.

Ran Qiuye has a fixed reading area. She loves literature, reading Chinese and foreign classics, and reading literary anthologies.

Wei Ping'an had no purpose at all, so he followed her to this area.

I picked up a copy of "Examples of Historical Taboos".

This book was written by Chen Yuan, uses the traditional vertical reading method, and was just printed last year.

The content is to explain some taboo things and events in history through examples.

Su Mu confirmed that he had never read this book, but it seemed relatively new and the location happened to be at hand, so he took it casually.

Ran Qiuye picked two books and went to the desk in the corner to start reading and studying.

She didn't realize that Su Mu was standing in front of the bookshelf with her, concentrating on reading the books in her hands.

It felt like I was in an inexplicable excitement.

The pages of the book were turned faster and faster under his hands.

Su Mu came to the library and accidentally discovered the use of another area of ​​​​the golden finger in his own space.

The north-facing room directly opposite the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa is a study room.

The walls on the east and west sides are full of square bookshelves, and the bottom floor has baffles made into cabinets.

On the east side is a 2.8-meter long pine wood table, and on the west side is a three-seater sofa made of technical fabric with a depth of 115 centimeters.

before today.

There was not a single book on the bookshelf.

But as Su Mu read through it, a book exactly like the one in Su Mu's hand was gradually taking shape.

No, it cannot be said to be taking shape, but from vagueness to reality.

Or it might be more appropriate to call it 'embodiment'.

Su Mu immediately devoted himself to it.

After he quickly flipped through the books, he finally got a book on the bookshelf.

Put the book back far away.

Su Mu couldn't bear to look at Ran Qiuye, because he was too excited when another new function of Golden Finger was discovered.

At this moment, no one could stop his test.

He changed to a similar book, and while flipping through it, Su Mu took advantage of the cover of his lowered head to actually close his eyes.

After flipping through it, he looked towards the villa study with his consciousness, and the book also appeared on the bookshelf.

Use your awareness to flip through the second book on the shelf.

Su Mu 'saw' the contents of the book.

It seems that the presence of books in the study has nothing to do with my eyes.

Next, Sumu continued to experiment.

Staring at a fixed page of a book for a long time makes no progress at all.

Then Su Mu selected another book and asked Ran Qiuye to help with a small experiment.

The conclusion obtained confirmed Sumu’s previous conjecture.

Within a certain range, only when the body comes into contact with every page of the book will the content be embodied in the spatial study room.

In other words, it is useless to look at it with the naked eye, you have to touch it with your body.

Maybe no matter which part.

Because Su Mu uses his elbow, the back of his hand, or even his fingernails to turn pages, he can feel the actual progress bar 'advancing'.

This function is also quite interesting.

A little past nine.

Su Mu stayed with Ran Qiuye and read a book at normal speed.

"I have something to do, I have to go first."

Ran Qiuye said nothing, nodded, and waved to Su Mu.

Looking at the slender fingers, Su Mu almost couldn't help but want to grab them and play with them again.

After leaving the library, Su Mu hurried to Gutou.

At this time, Aunt Li was cleaning the front yard.

Autumn is crisp and clear, but there are also many fallen leaves. This is because the trees are preparing in advance for winter.

Fallen leaves are returning to their roots, and there are trees in the yard. Even if you sweep the dead leaves every day in this season, you can't sweep them all away.

"Hmph, why are you here so late today?"

"I was delayed because of something at home."

"Look at how restless you are. Have you forgotten all the breathing methods I told you before?"

"Hi, Gu, speaking of this, I was just going to ask you something..."

In fact, Su Mu felt that what Gutou taught him during this period must be related to the legendary martial arts.

There is no man who is not interested in chivalrous martial arts.

It's a rare opportunity to go back a few decades and be lucky enough to encounter the last wave of 'Ouchi masters'.

How could Su Mu not practice hard day and night after receiving the guidance?

However, the method of sitting cross-legged that Su Mu finally learned was rather special, and she felt a little shy at first, because the condition of being conservative was that she could not wear clothes.

So Su Mu simply exercised in space.

At the beginning, I practiced for more than two hours at a time, which woke me up.

I feel refreshed and my physical strength has obviously increased.

Later, after half a month, I felt that every time I practiced, I would wake up with shortness of breath and chest tightness for several hours.

Sometimes I feel a little warm in the prostate area.

Su Mu now knows the identity of the ancient head.

He is really just a eunuch.

Although he didn't witness it with his own eyes, the other party also admitted it tactfully.

What I don’t know how to practice by myself is something like the Sunflower Book.

What is the function of that place that can train bad men?

Thinking of this, Sumuke was a little afraid to practice.

I finally got to the scheduled Friday, so I came over and asked first.

"You said you have chest tightness and fever?"

Listening to Su Mu's description, Gutou's expression changed several times in a row like a Sichuan opera character.

Finally, he stretched out three fingers to indicate that he wanted to feel Su Mu's pulse.

Su Mu put his arms on the table.

The old man pressed his chubby, carrot-thick fingers up.

In less than a second, Su Mu clearly felt his head and body shaking.

He tilted his head and looked at Su Mu with an inexplicably weird look in his eyes.

"How can I meet someone like you at the end of my life..."

Su Mu's heart trembled slightly.

Could it be that his identity in time travel has been discovered?

Otherwise, why don't you talk about this kind of person, but this thing?

Did he realize that his soul weight was not right?Or is the body and mind not integrated enough?

Su Mu was thinking wildly.

There is no way.

Sumu had only seen people like Ouchi Master in TV series and movies in the past.

In reality, this is also the first time we have encountered it.

Maybe if someone really has some way of detecting something, they can discover something strange about themselves...

But what should we do?
The old man retracted his fingers, stretched out his right hand, and tapped the remaining fingers several times with his thumb.

It seemed like he was counting the days.

"Little boy, if you can bring 2...30 kilograms of wild boar meat over next Tuesday, I will officially accept you as my disciple and pass on everything I have learned to you."

"really?"

Seeing Su Mu's surprised expression.

Gutou's face darkened, and he cursed secretly: "The quotation just now was low, I feel like I'm losing blood!"
