Ah, Mom, such a useful thing, why didn't I think of it before? Song Tan instantly grasped her arm in vexation: If only I had known about this earlier, imagine how much trouble I could have saved this year.
But no matter, it's never too late to mend. I'll buy it today. Just a shredder, and there are plenty of choices at the agricultural machinery shop in town!
However, before all this, Seventh Uncle had an instruction:
"Tantan, you're strong; go tidy up your old cellar, and then head down to catch this jar of liquor."
This old cellar naturally wasn't specifically for storing liquor; it was a remnant from when the older generation had suffered through hunger and famines. Due to limited conditions at the time that prevented regular purchasing, every household had a cellar for storing grain.
When Song Tan was young, she still remembers that these cellars were mostly used for storing sweet potatoes. They weren't located in the yard, but on the slope behind the house.
