Chapter 8 The Bai Family's Foundation



The basement of Bai Shuang's villa is actually a semi-basement, because the soil around the basement house was dug up and planted with grass.

The room is a large study with several rows of bookshelves neatly arranged. In front of the study is the living room, with several sofas and a retro-style coffee table.

Bai Shuang waved her hand and put it into her spatial storage.

Press a red dot in the corner of the study, the wall moves, a door appears in front of you, your pupils open the door, and you walk in.

Walk forward about seven or eight meters, press another mechanism, and the door opens, revealing three rooms side by side. Bai Shuang uses her fingerprint to open the door to the first room.

There were 100 boxes neatly arranged inside. The boxes were reddish, and when Baishuang sprinkled some powder on them, the red color disappeared.

Open a box, and inside are 20 gold bars, each weighing 500 grams, neatly arranged.

At this moment, Bai Shuang couldn't help but admire the thoughtfulness of her ancestors.

This is Bai's reserve fund. Even if something major happens and all the external assets are lost, these funds can be used to quickly rebuild the family's fortunes.

Moreover, even if a villain manages to get through the first few traps, he might not survive. The red mark on the box was a highly poisonous barrier; touching it would be fatal, and only the head of the family could cure it.

Bai Shuang didn't intend to sell these 100 boxes of gold bars; with a wave of her hand, she sent them all into her spatial storage.

Then I went to the second room, put my left hand into the slot, and the door opened immediately.

There are 50 boxes of various prescriptions here, each box labeled with its category.

Relieving exterior symptoms, clearing heat, promoting diuresis, facilitating digestion, and tonifying... Most of these are the secret recipes of the Bai family ancestors, but some are also precious prescriptions collected from other practitioners.

These are the truly priceless treasures, and the foundation of Bai's Traditional Chinese Medicine!

Bai Shuang suddenly felt immense pressure. Her ancestors had left her so many wonderful things; how could she possibly repay them?

What will she leave for future generations?

I don't want to think about it anymore. Bai Shuang has always been optimistic. She will shine as brightly as she has the ability.

Bai Shuang took out a bottle of potion from her spatial storage, flicked her wrist to remove the poison barrier on the box, and then waved it back into her storage.

Opening the third door requires a drop of blood from the Bai family lineage.

When the door opened, a chill wafted out.

Tiger bone, wild ginseng from the snowy plateau, Tibetan Buddha's hand ginseng, wild angelica, snow lotus from the mountains... rare medicinal herbs are displayed one by one in the cold jade array.

Bai Shuang removed the Cold Jade Array, packed the jade stones into a box, and stored them in her spatial storage along with the medicinal herbs.

Further inside are portraits of the patriarch and successive heads of the family, with biographical information about each head of the family displayed next to them.

To Bai Shuang's surprise, there were actually eight women among them!

It seems that the Bai family truly only chooses the virtuous and capable as their patriarch, regardless of gender.

Beside the house was a box of ancient Chinese medicine classics. Bai Shuang knelt down and kowtowed three times to the portrait of her ancestor, then put them all into her spatial storage.

Bai Shuang went through the entire passage again, and seeing that nothing was missing, she headed out, pressing the mechanisms along the way. She exited the passage, entered the study, pressed the last button, and then pressed it again, completely sealing off the passage.

From then on, this room was no longer a dark room; it was just an ordinary room.

It was already 9 p.m. when Bai Shuang came up from the basement. She didn't feel very tired. Her mental strength seemed to have increased. It seemed that mental strength could be enhanced through training.

It was well past dinner time, and my stomach was rumbling.

I took out my favorite chive and shrimp dumplings and a glass of pomegranate juice and started eating.

At this moment, Bai Di called to say that the seeds had been collected and sent the warehouse address, and that Bai Jiu's home appliances had also been purchased.

Bai Shuang asked Bai Di to help Bai Chang download the Che Xi app, and asked Bai Jiu to help Bai Tian collect medicinal herb seeds.

Bai Shuang planned to keep the rest herself and not rely on others. Even her subordinates could not be the ones to reveal all her cards.

Because she dared not gamble with people's hearts.

Bai Shuang called the three restaurants she had booked lunch with again, telling them to suspend bookings for tomorrow, as she planned to go towards the Agricultural Science City tomorrow.

On the seventh day, Bai Shuang got up at five o'clock because it was the seventh day since her mother's death.

Bai Shuang usually doesn't dare to think about her mother, or rather, she deliberately avoids it because she can't bear that kind of sadness. Whenever she thinks about it, she wants to cry, and then she can't move on.

She must be strong.

When we arrived at the cemetery, it was still a bit dark and there weren't many people around.

She first cleaned the area around the tombstone, then placed flowers, fruit, her mother's favorite crispy cake, and drinks on it. Then she knelt down to burn paper money and kowtowed three times deeply...

When she got home, it was only 7 a.m. She didn't have time to be sad. After quickly eating breakfast, she started ordering supplies to stock up.

She needed large quantities of goods, the kind that required large trucks to transport, so she went directly to wholesalers.

10,000 boxes of toilet paper, 1,000 boxes of wet wipes, disinfectant wipes, and sanitary napkins.

Diesel generators, gasoline generators, solar lights, power banks for solar lamps, flashlights, storage batteries, candles, fans, air conditioners, mini heaters, hand warmers—enough to last several lifetimes.

Sneakers, ice skates, hiking boots, snow boots, and also slippers and cotton slippers for wearing at home, several common models of each, 500 pairs of each model.

Thick down jackets, down pants, thermal underwear, thermal trousers, cashmere trousers, cashmere coats, green military coats, windbreakers, and winter coats—buy 500 of each.

As for short-sleeved shirts and shorts, Bai Shuang chose loose-fitting, stretchy ones.

Okay, 500 pieces of each of the comfortable styles.

We ordered 500 of each type of comforter: cotton quilt, down quilt, silk quilt, cashmere blanket, and wool blanket.

We ordered 500 sets of four-piece bedding sets for spring, summer, autumn and winter, made of various materials.

Bai Shuang didn't forget to order a box of embroidery needles. For Bai Shuang, a doctor who understood acupoints, this was the best weapon, more effective than any knife.
