Chapter 23
Take stock of today's harvest.The couple gave 40 yuan plus some bills, Linzi's eleven, a total of 55 yuan, plus the previous one, it was 850 yuan.It's a huge sum of money, but it's really pitifully small for Tian Tian.

On the third day, I went to the town again early in the morning, instead of going directly to Linzi, I wandered around carefully.

Lin Zi was waiting when he arrived, he glanced at Tian Tian's back basket.

"There are a lot of good things today, let's see or wait?"

"Wait a minute, let's get down to business first, how much can you ask for?"

"I want as much as you have."

Now there is a serious shortage of food, and money can't buy it. Of course, the more food the better.

From the moment he met, he knew that this little girl was unusual, and it seemed that he had a good vision.

"There is an abandoned yard at the intersection ahead, I'll wait there, you find someone to fetch food."

Tian Tian left after speaking, he had to prepare first.

The yard was full of weeds, and the dilapidated house was full of dust. I found a cleaner place and made sure there was no one around.Tian Tian took out two bags of fifty catties of rice, one bag of flour, one bag of corn dregs, one basket of thirty catties of eggs, and ten catties of bacon.

Like Tian Tian's ups and downs, he can't sell them all in a few lifetimes.

Take a look at the grain on the ground, just like this first, you can't take out too much at once.

After a while, I heard footsteps outside, and Lin Zi came in with three young men pulling a shelf cart.

The shelf truck was parked in the yard, and the two were guarding outside. Lin Zi and another young man came in, and saw something on the ground with deep eyes. It seemed that he still underestimated the little girl.

"Everything is here, you take it away first, I will find you later."

"We'll take away so much food, don't you worry?"

"I don't have anything to worry about if I can come to you. I don't care about this. You go first!"

This little girl is not simple, she has seen many people of all kinds, but he can't see through this little girl.Based on his own experience, such people should either be friends with each other or stay away, but they should not be offended, Lin Zi thought.

Load the grain into the truck and leave quickly.

Lin Zi thought that there must be people with Tian Tian nearby.Leave by yourself first, don't worry about it.

If Tian Tian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him that he was overthinking.

No one would have thought that a little girl would be able to get so much food by herself.

Beautiful misunderstanding.

Tian Tian also planned to leave. When he came out, he kicked the corner of the wall behind the door with his toe, and a piece of wall skin fell off the wall. The most important thing is that this piece is not a piece of dirt, and the feeling and sound of kicking the wall just now are not right. .

She kicked a few more times where she had just been.That's right, the wall is hollow, and the entire area behind the door is empty.

Glutinous rice was mixed in the wall mud that fell just now, which is a method used by ancient people when building houses and ramming city walls.

Tian Tian sensed his surroundings, confirmed that it was safe, then took out a military shovel from the space, and peeled off the outer skin of the wall.Inside is a layer of wood, and they are all huanghuali with equal width and thickness. Carefully pull out the wood and put it directly into the space.

Inside the wall are small wooden boxes of the same size, which are neatly stuffed in the middle of the wall, and they are all put away when there is no time to look at them carefully.The innermost part of the wall is separated by bricks to separate the upper and lower floors, and all kinds of porcelain are stuffed inside, and they are all put into the space with a wave of hand.After careful inspection, Tian Tian saw that there was nothing inside, so he knocked on the whole room, even knocked on the next few rooms, but found nothing.

The family used to live a very good life, with two entrances to the yard.

Tian Tian went to the backyard to have a look. Most of the roof had collapsed, only the walls were still intact.She knocked all the walls aside again, no abnormalities.

Go to the last side, there is a latrine and a pigsty.No one has cleaned it for many years, and there is not even a bad smell.

They entered the pigsty, stepped on the ground next to each other, even the walls made of big stones, but in the end there was nothing.There was a big pig trough chiseled out of stone by the corner. It looked old, and the flowers were not bad, so I took it away.

There are several bluestone slabs under the stone trough. Tian Tian squatted down to pry open the slabs, which was the entrance and exit the size of a person.Taking out the flashlight, I slowly climbed down and walked a few meters inside. Inside was a cellar of more than ten square meters, extending underground outside the pigsty.

Tian Tian took a picture with a flashlight, and there were nine boxes inside, five big ones and four small ones.Open the small box on the top, and there are neatly stacked gold inside, which is what people call small yellow croakers.

Tian Tian didn't open them one by one, and put them all into the space.Inside are dozens of sacks of rice, some large pieces of porcelain, several sets of tea sets, and two large jars of wine.Put all these things away, looked at the empty cellar, and looked around carefully, seeing that there was nothing, Tian Tian came out.

I don't know if there are any descendants in this family, I always feel uneasy after taking things from others like this.

Come out and reset the cellar door, cover it with a thick layer of soil, pile some tiles and gravel on it, check if there is nothing unusual, and then leave.

In the market house, Lin Zi and Tian Tian sat facing each other.Tian Tian had done physical work just now, and now he was hungry, so he took an apple from his bag and ate it.

With a 'click', the aroma of apples filled the room.He took out another one and gave it to Lin Zi on the opposite side. He was not polite, so he took it and ate it.Neither of them spoke, and the only sound in the room was the sound of biting an apple.

"To be honest, I've never seen such good grain. Every bag of grain can add one or two catties. The egg is 34 catties, which is four catties extra. The meat is twelve catties..."

After Lin Zi finished speaking, Tian Tian decided that this person could be a close friend.

She added more than a dozen eggs and one more piece of pork. The weight varies from odd to whole and not much, so some people will be greedy for petty gains.He is smart and generous, has a long-term vision, and does not covet petty profits. When dealing with such people, don't worry.

Tian Tian was also generous and didn't care about this thing with him.

"I'll give you the extra fraction."

Seeing Tian Tian's attitude, Lin Zi settled the money in round numbers without any shirk.

Holding the money, he was carried into a basket, and accompanied by Lin Zi, he went to the black market.

Not to mention that there are really many good items, one or two catties of grain can be exchanged, and several pieces were picked up in bits and pieces.In the end, I found a lot of good products at an old lady's street stall, including a set of fine jade jewelry, a set of silver jewelry, a silver necklace for a child, a pair of white jade bracelets, and several rings.The old lady said that her little grandson was about to starve to death, and her wife also collapsed, so the wealth of the family would be useless, and she needed some food to save her life.

yes!If people are gone, there is no point in keeping it.

The five catties of rice and ten catties of black noodles in the back basket were given to the old man, and she was given a catty of brown sugar.

It stands to reason that so much food would not be needed, but Tian Tian thought it was worth it.

The old lady was very excited and said that there were several things in her house that were better than this, and finally made an appointment with Tian Tian to exchange the things for food in five days.

Tian Tian was afraid that if something happened and he couldn't come, he asked Lin Zi to help her collect all the things the old lady brought, and gave him three times the food, and she would pay him back the food later.

"By the way, let me ask you something. Whose family owned the yard we passed just now? Is there anyone else in this family?"

"I heard that he is a rich man. His family is dead and gone. I haven't heard that there are any descendants. What's the matter?"

"I thought, if no one wants it, can I buy it, it will be convenient for us in the future."

As soon as Lin Zi heard this, he knew that the little girl planned to cooperate for a long time, so she promised without saying a word.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it for you, next time you come to this yard it will be yours, it's my meeting gift."

"You can do it, please, but I will pay you back the cost, and you can't let you pay for it."

"Let's be honest, I have someone in charge of this area. For the matter of giving a few catties of grain, just ask him to write a land certificate. This land will be yours from now on."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to do it, and I will give you benefits when the time comes, by the way, do you want a household registration book?"

"Don't need a household registration book, just write someone's name, just give it to me."

Tian Tian took out a pencil and paper from his small satchel, and wrote his name to Lin Zi.

"Write my name—Tian Tian, ​​you can call me by my name in the future!"
