Chapter 245 Inquiring for News
The unusual movement lasted for a while. After the gate of time and space was stabilized, Su Tai entered the earth time and space for the first time.
She saw that the originally boundless time and space suddenly had a large mountain. The mountain was bare and only had stones. She knew that no plants could be grown on this mountain before she even got close.
To get to the mountain, you need to pass through the fruit forest at the foot of the mountain.
The fruit trees and medicinal materials she planted before are still there. The medicinal materials are all varieties that become more valuable the older they are. If they are not picked, no data will be generated. Some of the fruit trees are starting to bear fruit, and they will almost be able to eat the first food next year. A batch of fruit.
After bypassing the orchard, she reached the mountain. She picked up an inconspicuous stone from the ground. She couldn't figure out the reason at all, so she had to return to the transfer station to check the information.
After seeing what was on the screen clearly, she lost her composure.
"It turns out to be the Hotan Jade Mine! Are you crazy? I own a treasure mountain?"
After the shock, Su Tai continued to look down.
Rule of use of jade mine:
The mine can be mined, and the equipment can be rented by yourself. A mining operation requires 10,000 virtual coins, and the jade mined cannot exceed one ton. Earth Spacetime will automatically recycle half of the labor results, and the quality of the jade mined cannot be guaranteed.
Earth Time and Space Upgrade Rules:
Earth Time and Space can only be upgraded again after recycling 10,000 tons of jade.
Su Tai almost vomited blood when she saw it.
Jade is inherently dense. Even though one ton is a lot, it is actually only a few sacks. Half of it must be recovered by earth and space, which means that the jade that falls into her hands cannot exceed a thousand kilograms at a time. , the quality is not guaranteed. If the mined rough stone is of poor quality and full of impurities, it cannot be processed at all. At most, it can be regarded as a good-looking stone, but it is really a trap.
She complained while gearing up to rent quarrying tools.
In fact, there are no tools that need to be rented. It is impossible for her to use large tools at the moment. At most, she can pick up some small jade stones from the mountain. She only needs a special flashlight with strong penetrating power and a basket.
It happens to be winter now, and she likes to think about things when she has nothing to do. This place can also kill time.
I wonder if I can send something to Shen Yi.
The more I think about this idea, the deeper it becomes.
So Su Tai took the initiative to ask for a visit when Ma Xingteng's people came to pick up the goods.
The servant did not think much and took her to the horse house in the town with a carriage.
When she arrived at Bai's house, she realized that they were actually organizing a bereavement. Her heart couldn't help but tremble, and she hesitated whether to go in.
At this time, a gentle female voice came from the door, "It must be Mrs. Shen! My husband is the eldest son of the Ma family, and my surname is Bai."
Su Tai quickly pulled away her thoughts and went up Before greeting, "Sister Bai, did I come at the wrong time?"
Bai looked at the white silk and white lanterns on the door, then led Su Tai in through the side door, "It's my husband's younger brother. He died in the battle. The news came back just the day before yesterday. It will take half a month for the body to be recovered." Arrive.
My father-in-law is so shocked by this bad news that my mother-in-law is going crazy. Now we can only decorate the mourning hall to prevent guests from coming to the house without knowing why.
Mrs. Shen must have something important to do when she comes here for the first time. It’s different from ordinary guests. Just don’t mind.”
Su Tai shook her head, and then a figure suddenly rushed out from the arch and hit Bai again. He scolded again, "Bad woman, let me out. My son won't let you go. Let me out quickly!" "Ah!" Ms. Bai dodged in pain and angrily scolded the maid and mother-in-law loudly, "What's wrong with you? If you can’t even care for a patient, what else will the Ma family do to support you?”
The maid and mother-in-law were silent, trembling with fear, and dragged Sang away.
Ms. Sang struggled hard, "Bad man, let me go, I want to find my son, my Fei'er, Fei'er, save mother, Fei'er"
Ms. Bai was very angry. , she had to quickly calm down and apologize like Su Tai, "Mrs. Shen, you are laughing. We are all afraid of my mother-in-law like this. We really don't dare to let guests come to our door."
"I understand. "Sister Bai, please worry." Su Tai said and entered the flower hall with Mrs. Bai.
The Ma family didn't give her a good feeling, and she didn't want to stay any longer. As soon as she sat down, she explained her purpose of coming, "I would like to ask Sister Bai if she can contact anyone who is serving in the military?"
Mrs. Bai was a little surprised, "Does my sister want to contact my husband?"
Su Tai admitted generously, "I prepared some food for my husband before, but I think it's all gone now. I don't know where it is now." What's going on? I want to give them something, can I?"
She opened a brocade box with some anxiety.
If no one in the village had answered her questions, she wouldn't have had to come to the door rashly.
When Bai saw the contents of the brocade box, his eyes immediately went straight, and when he reached his mouth, he suddenly couldn't utter any prevaricating words.
A warm smile appeared on her face, "Sister, is this mutton-fat white jade?"
Su Tai nodded, "High-quality mutton-fat white jade, I hope sister will like it."
< br>"Hey! How can this be so embarrassing? I do know a little bit about what my sister said. To be honest, my husband's family doesn't have the ability to send things to the border, but my parents' family does have some connections through the county government. "Bai lowered his voice.
Su Tai raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Can you tell me the details?"
Bai glanced at the brocade box inadvertently and said in deep thought: "The border will send a wave of battle death lists every quarter. When they come back with the body, they will wait for each family to claim it after delivering the body. It will take up to three days before they return to life. At this time, you can ask them to take things to the border, but they will need a lot of money."
< br>
Su Tai's eyes lit up as if a new world had opened up, "Thank you, sister, for letting me know. Can I ask again, what's the point of asking them to bring things?"
Ms. Bai looked at her approvingly. , said: "Indeed, first of all, you can't bring letters and the like. They are very sensitive and can easily cause trouble. You can bring clothes, money and food, but money is easy to lose along the way, and they don't use it very much. I prefer it. I want to send them some clothes and food.
But these are just my worries. After all, they are from the government and they are trustworthy. As long as they give you enough money, they will generally not touch you. Things.
My aunt and father were worried about my eldest brother, so they gave him several things last year. He must be a wealthy man, and I haven’t heard of anything missing.”
Su Tai still didn’t understand. , "Aren't they doing this to make money? Won't the higher-ups have any objections?"
Ms. Bai sneered, "How could it be? You have to share the money! So I say you have to give more, not only openly but also privately, so that people will take notice, right?" "
Su Tai understood and stood up to say thanks, "Sister Bai, thank you very much. I'll ask someone to inquire later."
Ms. Bai nodded slightly and reminded by the way: "In half a month. They're here. When the county government sends a message, it's almost time for you to contact the soldiers. It costs fifty taels to deliver something. The thing can't exceed half a truck. If it exceeds, you have to pay extra. In private, you have to pay the official. How much money you have is up to you.”
