Tool Man's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 37 I Sell Groceries in Infinite Stream

Gong Lu keenly grasped the key words in this sentence, not to mention how the village head knew what happened in front of their house last night early in the morning, just by looking at his words, he could discover new information.

The village chief said the same thing as the old man who led the way, using the word "villager".

It's just that they don't know whether their companions will become different at night from the daytime, or if they acquiesce that the villagers who look like that are still their companions.

When he and Song Ming walked inside, they could still hear the middle-aged man explaining his actions last night.

"...we're not inviting them to be guests, turning on the lights is just to get the job done, nothing is wasted."

Both Gong Lu and Song Ming couldn't hear what was said later, but seeing that the village chief didn't drive the people away directly, it seemed to be effective.

After entering the house, the wife of the village chief saw Gong Lu at a glance, with a smile on her face unconsciously: "Oh, you are here! Your sewing kit is very useful. Many people saw it yesterday and asked me where I bought it. Woolen cloth!"

Gong Lu was recommended to the villagers by the village head's wife. When everyone didn't take it seriously at first, she was a bit depressed.After a day yesterday, seeing the villagers becoming more and more interested in the products brought by Gonglu, the village head's wife felt honored.

This is what she recommends to everyone!

Knowing that Gong Lu and Song Ming wanted to take a stroll in the village today and inquire about the customs and habits around here, the village head's wife suddenly stood up and ran out in a hurry: "Then I'll let the people who want to buy things come over quickly, Buy it early and use it sooner!"

Neither Gong Lu nor Song Ming expected such a development.

Song Ming knew that Gong Lu's task had been completed, but he didn't know his specific panel. Hearing this, he was a little worried, and asked in a low voice: "You didn't set the price high, will you lose money?"

He thought that Gong Lu specially set such a low price in order to complete the task.

Gong Lu also revealed the situation in a low voice: "No, and my upgrade is calculated according to the number of transactions."

The system is a bit sloppy. If a person buys more than a dozen items at a time, only one transaction will be counted; but from a certain point of view, the system is also very random. This transaction does not specify the transaction amount, or even barter It can all be considered a transaction.

Gong Lu suspects that if someone keeps trading with other players, the system may not be able to find out.

Song Ming didn't continue to ask. His skills are also set in a similar way. The more times he uses them, the higher his proficiency and the faster he can level up.He guessed that Gong Lu's skills should be similar to his own, and after thinking about it, he was happy for the other party: "That's good."

After the two of them had finished their breakfast, the village chief hadn't come in through the door.But the village head's wife rushed back, followed by several women of her age, and a group of people chatted as they walked: "I should have bought it yesterday. I went to Juanzi's house to see it today, and it was really sewn together." gone."

"Hey, you know, Meifen's daughter almost didn't make it through last night."

"I saw her daughter alive and kicking today, and I can't see anything wrong at all."

"That's what I'm going to tell you, she bought it last night..."

Gong Lu listened to their conversation, and matched Meifen with the ghost who knocked on the door last night.It was at this time that he remembered that he hadn't checked what Meifen and her little partner were using to trade.

However, the current situation does not allow him to study slowly, so it is better to finish these few deals first.

Most of the people came for the sewing kits that someone bought before, and the two women who gossiped about Meifen even bought a few more sewing kits, saying that they would be prepared.

"If something happens at home, we are not as courageous as Meifen to break the rules."

"That's it."

Some people also bought towels and washing powder, but not many people bought them.The people around were worried that Gong Lu would be unhappy because of this, and they were unwilling to do business with them, and they explained: "You can't try it out, and we are also worried that it won't be suitable if you buy it back. We will buy it after a few of them have used it well. No?"

They made an agreement with Gong Lu that if these two things were as useful as the sewing kit, they would come to the village chief's house to make a deal with him tomorrow morning.

Gong Lu had no objection to this, and the villagers were very helpful by his kind words. After knowing that he and Song Ming were interested in the situation in the village, they kindly gave advice: "Meifen is relatively lightly restrained. I also helped her at night, if you have anything, you can ask."

The Meifen they mentioned lived very close to the grain drying field. When Gong Lu and Song Ming found her home, she was wiping her little daughter's hands with a towel.

Looking in the direction of the sound of footsteps, Meifen recognized the person coming, with a bit of surprise on her face: "You guys are here! I really want to thank you all last night. You see, she is fine now!"

It is said that there is no problem at all, but it doesn't look like that in the eyes of Song Ming and Gong Lu.In order to wipe off her little daughter's sweat, Meifen didn't button up the collar of the little girl's clothes very tightly.

Both of them have good eyesight, and they can vaguely see the fine stitch marks on the child's neck.

The child didn't feel any discomfort at all, and even greeted Gong Lu and Song Ming under the signal of his mother.After the stains on her hands were wiped off, she giggled and ran out to play with her brothers and sisters.

Meifen asked her daughter not to run to dangerous places, then brought tea to Gong Lu and Song Ming, and asked them why they came: "What's the matter you came to see me?"

Gong Lu: "We want to find out about the situation...they asked us to come to you."

Meifen let out an "Oh" and said, "You want to ask about the situation last night, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't let you ask me."

Without waiting for Gong Lu and Song Ming's reply, she talked to them about the situation in the village on her own.

"Our village was not like this from the beginning. In the earliest days, except for being a little poorer, there was no big difference between our place and other places. The only thing worth mentioning is that there is a beautiful lake. You should go too Have you passed? The scenery over there is good, and the villagers even built a pavilion together, so that everyone can go there to play.

"Although there are many inconvenient places in the village, everyone has deep feelings for this place, so when someone says that there are some resources to be developed in the mountains and lakes here, we disagree.

"The people who came to discuss the contract didn't want to give up just like that. They stayed in the village and continued to grind with the village chief. The village chief never agreed. Direct excavation of mountains and lake bottoms.

"We haven't noticed this incident. The village chief thought they had given up. Unexpectedly, at night after we finished planting, thunder suddenly sounded in the mountains. Everyone fell into a coma. When we woke up, there was something A voice led us to the lake. Only then did we realize that this group of people secretly developed it behind our backs.”

Of course, the villagers would not let it go. They didn't have much contact with the outside world. All they could do was send people to guard the lake to prevent the engineering team from digging.They also asked the students who were sketching in the village to expose this matter to the outside world, but they don't know why no one has been investigating and punishing those who violated the rules.

The tug-of-war between the two sides continued until the time of harvesting. The villagers were forced to work by the engineering team for a period of time because of the rush to harvest.

After they arranged all the looted things in the grain drying yard, everyone fell into a coma that night.

"When we wake up, we've become what we are now. We automatically know what to do is the best way, and we know what rules we need to follow."

Meifen didn't reveal any more details. She got up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests, and gave Gong Lu and Song Ming one last suggestion: "I'm relatively unrestricted, but I can only tell you so much. Since You can also understand our words at night, you can go out to investigate at night. But don’t stay outside for too long, and when you go out, pay attention to whether there is anyone knocking on the door.”

She also said in a very small voice at the end: "Don't stare into the darkness."

The voice was not quite the same as her previous voice, but more like the emotionless mechanical voice that the system had broadcast before.

Gong Lu and Song Ming looked at each other, and after making sure that the other party heard this sentence, they suppressed their surprise.

They walked around the village again, except for a few women who had bought things here in Gonglu who were willing to talk to them, no one else bothered to chat with them.

They really couldn't get any new news from communicating with people. They circled the village several times but found no clues, and finally went around to the lake.

With mental preparations this time, the two carefully observed the surrounding environment and found some traces of excavation.

"If you look carefully, you can see that someone wants to carry out construction here." Song Ming studied carefully.

But neither of them had any way to get close to the bottom of the lake, and they didn't know whether the construction team was here for something at the bottom of the lake.

Song Ming continued to look for clues that might have been overlooked in the vicinity, but Gong Lu took this opportunity to dig out the items that Meifen and her companions used to trade from the backpack.

Probably because their form is inconvenient to use currency, and the things they use to trade are props.

The names of the two props are [Meifen’s treasured flashlight] and [Meijuan’s own sachet], and if Gong Lu clicks on it, he can also see the system’s evaluation of these two props.

"It looks a bit shabby, but it's actually functional."

The author has something to say: When it comes to needlework, I have a very difficult hand.

That is, after sewing something, tie a knot in the thread and cut off the excess thread.Every time I tie a knot, it will be thousands of miles away from the fabric, and then the little thread will hang in the clothes like a fur ball (?)
