Chapter 0010: The system crashed due to excessive overload from too many items.
Two turtles are essentially given away for free, and the fat heads also come from the reservoir with no cost involved. If I could earn this much every day, life would definitely be leisurely. With a table full of food each day, Li Dong thought happily, it's not tiring and still makes money, quite good indeed
Brother, I understand it is difficult. This way, I will not shortchange you. Today, it is eight hundred each. Tian Liang opened with a price of eight hundred each, which is not cheap at all, and this price is considerably higher than the market rate.
There are also seasonings, which cannot be lacking. Just think about how tasteless a well-cooked wild fish would be without them; it would be such a waste. I will buy all the seasonings I can find. By the way, there are also clothes and shoes. Li Dong originally intended to go to a specialty store, but upon taking a glance, he thought that wearing those clothes from that era would surely get him into trouble.
The rice is gone, but the cooking oil is still there, fortunately. Li Dong quickly checked everything. "The flour is still here, but the seasonings are gone. How come there are only a handful of milk candies left from the ten pounds? Where is my fishing rod and fishing net?"
It seems that it is just dawn, and fortunately, the return time is acceptable; otherwise, carrying so many things would be quite confusing. "Eh, wait a minute, my belongings, why do they feel so light?"
Li Dong muttered, something is not right, several pieces of clothing are also missing, and a few scattered items are gone as well. Originally, I had brought a box of canned goods, over ten pounds of cured meat, and a whole pig leg of fresh meat, but now the fresh meat is gone
Fortunately, Li Dong lived in a small thatched cottage at the eastern end of the village, where there were originally not many households. At this moment, there was no one around, and the door was closed. Li Dong returned to his room, placed his belongings under the bed, and after tidying up, tucked the floral quilt under the pillow.
There is certainly a connection with the second line of numbers. Previously, two hundred referred to weight. Li Dong thought to himself that in the future, he should be more cautious when carrying things. This time it was fine, but if he were to be discarded, that would be disastrous. Losing a few items is a minor issue.
milk candy
There is no problem with the time, the first line resets to zero, the second line changes to two hundred and fifty, what is going on, what is the situation? However, after taking a glance around, Li Dong found that despite some changes, everything has returned to normal.
At least I have to stay here for twenty days in 1978, I mean, think about working for more than half a month, Li Dong is really struggling. "What's going on?"
Apple
"Alright, for your sake, Mr. Tian, I will give it a try. I will have to get a few for you." Li Dong did not agree outright, as good things are rare and precious; if they are obtained too easily, people will not appreciate your kindness.
The fishing rods and nets are also gone, these were brought by Li Dong for catching soft-shelled turtles, all of them are gone, yet surprisingly the pig liver is still here, using pig liver to fish for soft-shelled turtles, this was something Li Dong found online
00:00:00
Li Dong immediately fell into the water, but fortunately, he knew a bit of dog paddle, and since Xiao Juan was not heavy, he finally managed to climb out of the reservoir. "You say, child, why are you so foolish"
We will study it again later
August 22, 1978
Well, both the fishing rod and the fishing net are gone. I originally planned to set the net and use pig liver to catch soft-shelled turtles, but now I can only rely on luck.
It is indeed strange, there are quite a few polyester clothing and vintage clothes available on Taobao, and I have ordered ten shirts similar to Li Dong's.
200
Li Dong was bewildered. He originally brought a lot of supplies, but now only this little remains, my rations. Now that the numbers have reset to zero, does that mean he needs to sunbathe for at least one hundred hours? One hundred hours! According to Li Dong's calculations, that averages to five hours a day.
Li Dong wore a troubled expression. "Manager Tian, you know, this wild soft-shelled turtle is really hard to come by. I have a friend with good connections, and it took a lot of social favors to finally get two. They only managed to provide them because they couldn't refuse me.
Han Xiaojun took out a set of clothes with pudding on them. The clothes were a bit small to wear, but in this day and age, it was not common to throw away clothes; even if they were a little small, they could still be worn
Xiao Juan opened her eyes and saw Li Dong, and she cried out loud, throwing herself onto Li Dong. "Dad, please don't jump into the water, I'm scared"
The clothes are still here, but the shoes are gone
What to wear for the New Year
After finishing these tasks, Li Dong began to sunbathe seriously, and within four to five days, the numbers were all filled in.
August 21, 2018
Han Xiaojuan got up in the middle of the night and felt the bed; her father had not returned. Xiaojuan was scared, so she put on her shoes and ran towards the reservoir. There were no lights or fire, and she relied only on a few matches. Upon reaching the reservoir, she ran around but did not see anyone.
Do not buy, apples are very expensive, and one should not waste money
There are still a few pieces of cured meat left, the iron pot remains, but all the spoons and similar items are gone
Finally, everything is tidied up
This time, I originally brought quite a few good items, with ample provisions, and also some small things that Li Dong planned to take to the city to see if he could exchange them for some money. Who would have thought that there would be a problem with time and space, an overload, yes, an overload, Li Dong could somewhat guess the reason.
A floral bed sheet, that's all that remains. If I were to exchange for money, a shirt and silk stockings would suffice. Li Dong felt he could come up with a reason later. By the way, didn't I write a letter to my 'relatives' in the city the day before yesterday
Isn't this just asking someone to do a favor? Others lack nothing, but this person does enjoy good food, and wild soft-shelled turtle is quite good
Father
100 : 25 : 45
Having sat all night, I feel completely drained of energy and spirit
Xiao Juan
The little girl sat on the ground in despair, crying loudly, saying that her father was gone, her mother no longer wanted her, and now her new father was also gone. Xiao Juan cried sorrowfully, continuing to weep until there were no tears left, sitting foolishly at the spot where Li Dong had previously fished, gazing at the reservoir.
However, for Tian Liang, this amount of money is not an issue. If the quality is good, everything can be discussed. Li Dong swallowed hard, sat up straight, and said, "Eight hundred each, and for ten, that would be eight thousand. General Tian, let me ask you about this matter. You know that acquiring this is not just a matter of getting it; it also depends on luck. Breeding is relatively easy to manage."
Xiao Juan
Ah, it hurts so much
Li Dong hung up the phone, thinking to himself, well, something that was not even eaten in the countryside forty years ago has now become a sought-after commodity. I need to prepare well, prepare, and go back to get more soft-shelled turtles; each one brings in a pure profit of 800.
Apple, I know my mother taught me
Tian Liang, in a moment of arrogance, boasted confidently, saying it was easy, claiming it was just a matter of a word from my brother. Now that he has returned home and sobered up, he regrets it. He also faced a scolding from his wife. However, when it comes to wild soft-shelled turtles, Tian Liang's wife is somewhat tempted; next month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it would be just right to bring back two from her family home.
Xiao Juan has seen it before; last time, her mother took her to the city to buy study materials. However, she has truly never seen an apple before. "What is this?"
When Tian Liang thinks of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Section Chief Liu also wants to express something here, as it is not unusual for others, and wild items are just perfect for this occasion
What a good child! Compared to my own daughter who is picky, this child, Xiao Juan, is truly well-behaved
250
In the evening, Li Dong prepared some drinks, and with Shutan and Tian Liang, the entire cost of this meal, excluding the expenses for buying the chicken and Han Weijun's wages, was essentially all profit, with a gross profit of no less than 1,800.
Li Dong paused. "This clothing is meant for summer; your father will buy you another one for the New Year."
However, what puzzled Li Dong was that the time seemed to have changed; it was the 21st when he returned. Never mind, it doesn't matter. "I'll just go over first and see." As soon as it got dark, Li Dong tied up the items he needed to bring with a rope and covered them with a flower-patterned quilt that matched the 1970s background.
Li Dong was bewildered, unable to believe it; it was a disaster, a problem had arisen. Li Dong's head felt as if it had been struck by a hammer, and he fainted as darkness enveloped him.
Li Dong was in a panic. In these times, there are quite a few people who resort to throwing themselves into the water, especially in winter when even entire families do so. There is no way out; without food or drink, living becomes a torment. Li Dong hurriedly ran to the reservoir, stumbling twice along the way, praying that nothing would happen. Otherwise, he would never find peace in his life.
At this moment, Li Dongcai suddenly remembered Han Xiaojun. Where has that girl run off to? It is still not dawn yet; could it be that a wolf has taken her away? Is it true that there are wolves in the mountains? No, that can't be. Li Dong became anxious all of a sudden. What is going on with that girl? Where could she possibly go at this hour?
Tian Liang called regarding the matter of wild soft-shelled turtles. This afternoon, while chatting with a few friends, one of them mentioned that since Tian Liang can procure wild soft-shelled turtles, which are quite sizable, it is indeed a valuable find
Relatives should also reply, Li Dong thought about going back to find Han Guo Fu to get a letter of introduction as proof, and then take a bus to the city to have a look and exchange some money
Han Xiaojun snapped back to reality upon hearing Li Dong's voice, suddenly standing up. After sitting and crying all night, her body was already weak, and with her feet feeling numb, she stumbled and fell straight towards the reservoir. Upon hearing the splash of her falling into the water, Li Dong's heart leapt to his throat.
After a while, Li Dong finally woke up and rubbed his head, wondering what had gone wrong. The numbers on the screen had changed, and Li Dong rubbed his eyes and looked several times.
Li Dong thought for a while and then slapped his thigh. "I just remembered, I said I was going to the reservoir to fish, and I haven't come back all night. That girl wouldn't have gone to the reservoir, would she? If she doesn't see me, will she think I jumped into the water?"
Brother, when you turn back, I will treat you to a meal
Li Dong took out a milk candy and an apple. "Look at what Dad bought for you?"
Xiao Juan was carried home by Li Dong, who took out the clothes he had bought. "How is it? Beautiful, right?"
Farmed soft-shelled turtles, is it really appropriate to give them as gifts now? Isn't that just disgusting
While enjoying a drink, the phone rang. Li Dong glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Tian Liang. "Mr. Tian, what brings you to call?"
Li Dong was at a loss for words, wondering what to do now, his face filled with distress. "Let's go home first," he said. Although there weren't many items left, there was still a bag. If the villagers saw it, they might mistakenly think he had stolen or robbed it.
When Li Dong changed his clothes and turned around, he saw that Han Xiaojun had actually folded the new clothes and stuffed them into the cabinet. "What, don't you like them?"
Li Dong shouted loudly, "Little girl, please do not do anything foolish"
"That's not right, where is Xiao Juan?"
Wear during the New Year
Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, Dad would never jump into the water
Li Dong smiled and patted Xiao Juan's head. "Come on, Daddy has brought you something delicious."
Han Xiaojun cheered as she took the apple and held it under her nose to smell. "So fragrant," she said, looking up at Li Dong with a grin, ready to stuff it into the box for the New Year celebration, leaving Li Dong both amused and exasperated.
Something is wrong, Li Dong quickly untied the floral blanket and was stunned upon seeing it. "What is going on?"
Alas, now there is only a dozen pairs of silk stockings, a few shirts, some cured meat, ten jin of vegetable oil, half a jin of milk candy, ten jin of flour, an iron pot, along with a bit of seasoning, and by the way, two apples
New clothes, Han Xiaojun never expected that after not seeing her father for a night, he had actually conjured up a new outfit. "Hurry and change, don't catch a cold," Li Dong said, as he also needed to change his clothes, opting for the set from Han Guofu. After all, what he was currently wearing—a pair of baggy shorts and a T-shirt—seemed rather odd and did not fit in with the others.
This time, there were quite a few items being carried. Li Dong was afraid they would scatter, so he pressed the start button. However, who would have known that it was different from last time? Li Dong felt as if he was being tossed around, and the numbers on the screen changed in a frightening manner, resembling a malfunctioning machine
You want ten of these at once, aren't you making things difficult for me
On the second day, Li Dong began to prepare. This time, he must bring more food and supplies. Didn't Xiao Juan say she loves eating White Rabbit candy? Buy ten pounds. The cooking oil is not enough, so get a barrel. The rations are insufficient, so get a bag of rice weighing one hundred pounds. Also, buy a hind leg of pork.
Brother, it must be wild
What is going on
soft-shelled turtle
Now let's eat, Dad will buy more during the New Year
What about the fabric?
Is it possible that too many things were brought?
Xiao Juan, come here
