Chapter 348 Issuing Tasks
Chapter 348 Issuing Tasks
While two readers complained that Lin Liuyi's writing wasn't extravagant enough, someone else was nodding in agreement.
Lu Juhua thought the author was absolutely right. If she had money, she wouldn't just take down one row of clothes; she would take down all the clothes hanging in the supply and marketing cooperative.
And now that she's rich, why does she need to eat shrimp or crab? There's not even a two-ounce piece of meat. If she wants to eat, she'll just go and buy all the meat from Butcher Zhang's house.
And what's this "Apple Family Bucket"? Buying a bucket of apples wouldn't be bad.
And this car, tsk tsk, she thinks Forever is the best, she wishes her family had one.
As Lu Juhua looked around, she pondered how she would spend her money if she had it. The first thing she would definitely do was buy pork.
She had it all planned out: buy one, and the whole family could eat until their mouths were greasy.
Oh my, these days, just thinking about them gives me hope.
Lu Juhua became more and more excited as she read, wishing she could rush into the book and spend money for the protagonist.
Do you think this young man understands how to spend his money wisely?
"Chrysanthemum! Chrysanthemum! Lu Chrysanthemum!" Lu Chrysanthemum was lost in thought when she was suddenly startled by the shout.
"Are you trying to call back my soul?! What do you want from me, Aunt Wang?!" Lu Juhua didn't even look anymore, lifted the curtain and went out.
"Oh dear, Juhua, what are you doing in the house? I've called you several times. Do you want to go up the mountain to pick elm seeds? I've found several trees!" Aunt Wang first pursed her lips, then pulled Lu Juhua over and whispered.
"Hey, of course we have to go if there's such a good thing! Wait for me to grab a basket, then we'll head over!"
Upon hearing this good news, Lu Juhua disregarded the question of whether the person was incredibly wealthy or not and quickly went to get the basket.
She followed Aunt Wang, and the two of them went to pick elm seeds, chatting and laughing.
After picking these elm seeds, add some flour and knead them into cornbread. It's not only delicious, but it also saves on grain.
Although life is better now, people in rural areas still need to be careful with their money.
As a result, Lin Liuyi received a reward of a steamed bun.
I must say, it actually tastes pretty good.
After finishing her cornbread, she received a reward from Miss Suqiu: half a beautiful necklace.
Looking at the exquisite necklace and then recalling the cornbread I ate, what a stark contrast!
She decided to go check on her readers first; she absolutely refused to admit that the comparison was too stark!
Meanwhile, Lu Juhua was still feeling proud of herself for having saved some food.
"Mother, how about we cut some meat to eat tomorrow?" Her eldest son pounded his chest and choked on the cornbread he was chewing.
"Eat, eat! All you ever think about is eating! These elm seeds are so fresh! Let's eat these first!" Lu Juhua refused without even thinking.
"No, didn't the third son send you money?" The second son didn't understand. No matter how fresh the elm seeds are, they don't taste as good as meat!
“You said it yourself, that was money sent by the third brother. I don’t know how he’s doing alone in the factory in the south. I need to keep this money for him. He has food and drink at home, but the third brother is working so hard out there.”
Seeing that her eldest and second sons looked unwell, Lu Juhua immediately changed her mind: "Alright, I'll go to Butcher Zhang's tomorrow and buy some meat!"
Only then did her two sons' expressions improve a little. In reality, Lu Juhua kept thinking to herself that the young people were indeed no good and couldn't manage a household at all.
Then she thought of her youngest son, wondering how he was doing out there.
Lin Liuyi and the system appeared at the right time, and Lu Juhua opened the video call without trembling.
If you ask her if she's not afraid? Afraid of what? That book is glowing with golden light.
Since ancient times, anything that emits golden light has been a treasure!
Lu Juhua wouldn't say that when she found the book, she flipped through it first, and only opened it with regret after not finding any gold or silver treasures.
Now, facing Lin Liuyi and the system, she felt even more strongly that this was probably some kind of treasure.
As they say, experience is the best teacher; this was the first time Lin Liuyi had ever seen an elderly female reader so calm.
She dutifully recounted her origins again, and Lu Juhua listened with shining eyes.
Is this the kind of cheat system described in books? Although it's not some kind of super-rich system, people in this other world should be rich too.
"I have a little bit of money!" Lin Liuyi replied modestly after hearing the old lady across from him mutter.
"Good girl, what tasks do I need to complete to earn money?"
Lu Juhua immediately put what she had learned into practice. She remembered that the "Godly Rich System" would issue tasks that made people spend money, and then it would give people more money in return.
Lu Juhua rubbed her hands together. Was her wish to take all the clothes from the supply and marketing cooperative about to come true?
Lu Juhua's words left Lin Liuyi speechless.
No, ma'am, are you already starting to role-play?
You got immersed too quickly!
However, judging from the clothes the old woman was wearing, she first inquired about the old woman's situation.
After learning the details, Lin Liuyi also became interested.
"Aunt Lu, I'm going to issue the first task now!"
"Tell me, tell me!" Lu Juhua couldn't wait any longer.
"The first task is to provide the system with ten catties of elm seeds!" Lin Liu's eyes darted around, and he issued the first task.
"Only ten pounds! Don't you want more?"
"Those twenty jin?"
“No problem! Auntie, I’ll get you enough to pick in no time!” Lu Juhua immediately started thinking about where else she could pick elm seeds from trees.
"Girl, how much reward can you give to the old lady?" Although it was different from the task issued by the Godly Rich System, Lu Juhua didn't mind. So, she started asking about the task reward right now.
"What do you want, Auntie?" Lin Liuyi originally wanted to give some gold, since it was hard currency, but seeing Aunt Lu's expectant eyes, she immediately changed her mind.
"Can I have pork?" Lu Juhua pondered. She had promised her son she would buy pork anyway, so if Lin Liuyi gave her a reward, wouldn't she save some money?
However, if she knew that Lin Liuyi originally intended to give her gold, she would definitely regret saving that money.
"Alright! Then I'll give you twenty catties of pork!" Lin Liuyi thought that Aunt Lu wanted something else, but pork was easy to get.
"That's great!" Lu Juhua's mouth was practically crooked with a smile. Twenty catties of elm seeds for twenty catties of pork, that's such a good deal.
Luckily, she was quick-witted and got the other party to add ten more catties of elm seeds, which is equivalent to ten catties of pork!
At that moment, Lu Juhua thought, "Why don't I ask Old Wang to pick some elm seeds for me too? At worst, I can give him some meat later!"
She weighs 20 pounds!
Before the meat even arrived, Lu Juhua was already thinking about how to eat these twenty jin. She would eat some, then make it into cured meat and eat it slowly, maybe even until the autumn harvest!
Sigh, she's such a shrewd little shopper. I wish Lin Liuyi could keep changing things like this!
