At this point in the conversation, Lin Jiaojiao finally put away her previous dejected expression: "I have successfully appeared in the dreams of the Qi family's descendant. I not only told him about the matter of worshipping me, but also gave him the address of the young boss's place. He will come over to thank the young boss properly."
"That's good." Song Mian was genuinely happy for Lin Jiaojiao.
"Also, I have something else to say. Young boss, please come with me." As Lin Jiaojiao spoke, her ghostly figure drifted towards the backyard.
Following Lin Jiaojiao to the backyard, Song Mian looked at her ghostly figure in the moonlight and asked, "Jiaojiao, what do you want to tell me?"
"After drinking the soup made by Lady Meng Po, I remembered some details of my past life. Qi Bing and I eloped from here. Before leaving, I buried a hairpin in this courtyard to say goodbye to the past..." Lin Jiaojiao said, carefully observing the courtyard in front of her.
Three hundred years have passed, and the entire courtyard has changed. She needs to re-evaluate the location of the hairpin.
Thinking of her past life with Qi Bing, Lin Jiaojiao closed her eyes and began to dance gently in the courtyard.
Lin Jiaojiao was performing an ancient dance. Her movements were very graceful, and even without music, she exuded a poignant beauty.
Using her dance steps to determine her location, Lin Jiaojiao quickly stood in front of the woodshed in the courtyard: "The things are here."
Song Mian entered the woodshed and, guided by Lin Jiaojiao, quickly found a hidden compartment in the wall and took out a box.
"There really is a treasure!" Seeing that the box was locked, Song Mian took out the hair clip from her head and tried to open it.
Soon, the wooden box was opened, and a silver hairpin lay quietly inside.
The hairpin looks very finely crafted, and it is inlaid with natural pearls. Even after three hundred years, it does not look old.
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said to Song Mian, "Young boss, I'd like to use this hairpin to do business with you. I plan to keep sending dreams to the Qi family members over the next few days, so please prepare more offerings for me. Just prepare two boxes of each type of offering, according to the specifications you gave me before."
"Deal! Thank you for your patronage!"
As soon as Song Mian finished speaking, she heard the system notification in her mind.
[Ding - Congratulations, host, the transaction has been completed.]
The details of this transaction are as follows: Items traded: Several tribute items.
[Transaction counterparty: Lin Jiaojiao]
[Transaction Amount: One antique silver hairpin]
[Transaction Status: Completed.]
[Congratulations, host, for earning points! The Hell Convenience Store is about to be upgraded. Please continue your efforts!]
Upon hearing this, Song Mian asked the system in her mind, "System, what benefits will I receive after the shop is upgraded?"
System: [Spoilers are prohibited. Please view the content after completing the upgrade.]
Song Mian rolled her eyes at the heartless system, then put on a smile for Lin Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, it's almost dawn. You can go back to the Ghost Realm without worry. I'll buy more supplies for you tomorrow during the day!"
After seeing Lin Jiaojiao off, Song Mian mustered all her energy and went to the wholesale market.
Last night, Song Mian heard that Lin Jiaojiao had brought various supplies to the Ghost Realm to sell and obtain more ghost money. Knowing that Lin Jiaojiao needed a lot of offerings every day, Song Mian purchased some other food.
Canned food, biscuits, jelly, potato chips—Song Mian accepted all kinds of food and snacks that could fill her stomach, and bought dozens of boxes in one go!
Song Mian took the antique silver hairpin directly to the pawnshop after having the wholesale market owner deliver the items she had bought to his own funeral clothing shop.
But when Song Mian stood at the pawnshop entrance, she was completely dumbfounded.
"What's going on? Why is it being demolished?" Song Mian looked at the workers who were smashing the walls in the pawnshop and quickly took out her phone to call the pawnshop owner.
Fortunately, the pawnshop owner rushed over immediately after receiving Song Mian's call.
"Grandpa Su, you didn't even tell me about upgrading your shop. I thought we'd lost a good partner." Song Mian had just heard Grandpa Su say on the phone that his shop wasn't being demolished or closed, but was undergoing a comprehensive system upgrade.
"It's all thanks to you, Boss Song. If it weren't for the antique you sold me that helped me find so many buyers, I wouldn't be living such a carefree life! Come, let me see what good stuff you brought today."
After taking the brocade box from Song Mian and glancing inside, Old Master Su immediately adjusted his reading glasses: "Mr. Song, this is a really good thing! It must come from a wealthy family!"
"That's about right. Could you give me an estimate?" Song Mian never wanted to go into detail about the origins of these antiques.
Grandpa Su wisely refrained from asking too many questions. After thinking for a moment, he gestured with his fist towards Song Mian: "One hundred thousand, how about that?"
One hundred thousand?! A hairpin can actually sell for one hundred thousand yuan?!
This is a huge sum of money that she couldn't earn even after a year of hard work!
Song Mian was stunned by this number.
Seeing that Song Mian remained silent, Old Master Su assumed that Song Mian was dissatisfied with the price, and quickly said, "Mr. Song, don't worry, this is your bottom line. This hairpin might find a better customer later, and the price will continue to rise. I can give you some more then..."
Good heavens, 100,000 yuan wasn't enough, they even managed to get a little more!
It was as if she could see wads of banknotes flying toward her with tiny wings. Song Mian was thrilled, but she put on a magnanimous expression: "Grandpa Su, you're too kind. I know you won't cheat me, so let's do as you say."
Only then was Grandpa Su relieved, and he quickly gave the money to Song Mian, and the two completed the transaction in no time.
"By the way, Mr. Song, do you have any more valuable jewelry? Preferably something worth several hundred thousand." Old Master Su continued, "My client needs a valuable antique for a charity auction, and he needs it urgently. Ideally, he'd like it to be delivered within four or five days. Do you have any suitable items?"
Song Mian really wanted to have such an antique!
How beautiful must an antique piece of jewelry be to sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Song Mian couldn't even imagine it!
"I'll go back and look for it. I'll contact you again if I find it." After saying goodbye to Grandpa Su, Song Mian returned to the funeral clothing shop.
The wholesale market owner had already delivered all the items she bought. She carried everything into the house herself and began to carefully check and organize them.
After finishing her work, Song Mian carefully checked her savings.
