They had boiled bones for dinner. Soy sauce and sugar were so expensive that Liu Yue couldn't bear to put them in.
The family of three ate boiled bones dipped in soy sauce. Although they were not that fat, they ate very happily and ate half of the dinner.
Ye Yongshun was tired for the whole day, and he could finally eat as much meat as he wanted. Anyway, he had enough to eat, and he only ate about three catties, which made Ye Chuan speechless.
The smell of bones being cooked filled the entire courtyard. Every household could smell it.
"Grandma, I want to eat meat too!" The seven-year-old boy raised his head and said to Jia Zhangshi.
"You look like meat to me!" Jia Dongxu said in a bad mood. He took a bite of the Erhe Noodles Mantou and chewed it in his mouth with some disgust.
"My good grandson, I'll buy you meat when your dad gets his salary! Their family didn't eat meat, but bones. Only those who couldn't afford meat would eat bones!”
Qin Huairu's mouth was salivating non-stop. The smell was simply too fragrant, even more so than fatty meat. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Her husband would buy meat once a month, but she didn't get a share at all.
Other than eating eggs and chicken when she gave birth to her two children, she usually didn't eat meat at all. As long as there was meat on the table, she would eat it next to Jia Dongxu, Banggeng, and Jia Zhangshi. Even her daughter, Little Dang, couldn't eat it.
The other neighbors in the middle courtyard were also envious and disdainful. They felt that eating fat meat was meat, and eating bones was not meat. It only smelled good, and the taste was definitely not as good as fat meat.
Silly Zhu was a chef, so he could smell the bones immediately. Although he was a little greedy, his heart was filled with disdain.
After the meal, Liu Yue carefully put away the bones.
"I'll use these bones to make some meat soup for you tomorrow. Then, you can exchange them for some money when you get back to the unit.”
Ye Chuan nodded. There was indeed a bone on the recycling list of the material recycling company, but there were not many people who sold bones.
After eating and drinking his fill, he returned to his room. He lay on the brick bed and took out the Tang Dynasty bronze mirror to study.
After studying it for a long time, it was still a large black disk. He did not dare to use any tools, afraid that he would damage the copper mirror.
Ye Chuan opened the system in his mind to see how much energy was needed to repair the bronze mirror. However, after opening the system, his eyes widened in surprise.
In the energy column of his personal information, it was 65.
65 points of energy? Ye Chuan was dumbfounded. When did he get energy points? He didn't do anything!
He had a flash of inspiration. Could it be?
When he returned to the office in the afternoon, he was sitting in the backseat of the tricycle. The bronze mirror in his hand flashed. Although it was only for a moment, he saw it clearly.
Could it be that the copper mirror in his hand was providing energy to the system? Ye Chuan had a vague guess in his heart.
He picked up a teacup beside the brick bed and stared at it for a few minutes, but there was no change at all.
Ye Chuan took out another book, but it didn't change for a few minutes.
Was it because the bronze mirror was an old object?
Only old objects of a certain age could provide energy for the system?
Ye Chuan could almost come to a conclusion. He couldn't wait to go to work and find an old object to confirm his guess.
He put his mind back into the system and chose to repair the item in his inventory. Then, he chose the Tang Dynasty bronze mirror.
"Ding! Do you want to repair the Tang Dynasty bronze mirror?" A mechanical voice sounded.
"Yes, sir!"
"Ding! Repairing the Tang Dynasty bronze mirror requires 200 energy points. The host's energy points are insufficient. Repair failed!”
Ye Chuan sighed and took back the system. However, it only required 200 energy points to repair the bronze mirror. It was still worth being happy about.
He finally understood the general gameplay of the system. He felt a wave of sleepiness, so he turned off the lights and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day at work, Ye Chuan followed Fatty Han out to collect the waste. He sat in the back seat with a thick cushion under his butt.
Fatty Han didn't care about that. He just rode the tricycle casually, looking around from time to time. If someone waved at him, he would go over and ask.
Ye Chuan held a broken flashlight in his hand. He found it in the warehouse. There were also broken electric fans, radio, etc., but they were all missing parts. It was impossible to repair them.
The reason why they were piled up in the warehouse was that the employees often lacked parts when repairing their own appliances, so they would go to the warehouse to look for them. At least they could save a few cents.
The torchlight was the most inconspicuous electrical item in the shop, and it was also the cheapest.
There were only 65 energy points in the system. He did not have a clear concept of repair, so he could only use a flashlight to experiment.
He opened the system and chose to repair the flashlight. A mechanical female voice appeared in his mind.
"Ding! Do you wish to repair the United Torchlight?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Ding! Repair successful, cost 1 energy value!”
The flashlight in his hand had long disappeared, lying quietly in the item repair column.
With a thought, the flashlight returned to Ye Chuan's hand. The originally tattered flashlight had broken glass in the front and had become a brand new flashlight, as if it had just been bought.
" Only used 1 point of energy?" Ye Chuan was a little surprised.
Looking at the flashlight in his hand, he fell into deep thought.
Although the bronze mirror he received yesterday was from the Tang Dynasty, it was not very valuable. Even in the 21st century, it was only worth a few tens of thousands of yuan. In this era, it was even worse than junk.
However, repairing the bronze mirror required 200 energy points, while repairing this flashlight only required 1 energy point.
Ye Chuan was sure that repairing old objects required a lot of energy points. The closer to this era, the cheaper it was. This must be the case.
At this moment, Fatty Han suddenly braked and Ye Chuan almost crashed into him.
