Li Xiyue stretched out her hand and took out the chrysanthemum powder and the thick mask.
She first put on her mask, then poured the wood chrysanthemum powder into a small incense burner, lit the powder, and used her telekinetic ability to place the incense burner in the corner of the gatehouse.
This stuff is too potent; she has to take precautions.
Her X-ray vision was fixed on the old man on duty in the gatehouse.
The old man on duty rubbed his nose and was surprised to smell a very pleasant, fresh fragrance, like the scent of daisies.
But why is there a chrysanthemum scent coming from the gatehouse? Aren't daisies supposed to bloom in spring?
He yawned, a heavy drowsiness washed over him, and he leaned back in his chair and fell asleep instantly.
Seeing that the old man had fallen asleep, Li Xiyue snapped her fingers and said, "Alright, set up a spatial passage for me, we can go in now."
Mi Bao's eyes widened in surprise, "That's it? You fell asleep like that?"
Li Xiyue said, "Of course! The extract powder from the wood chrysanthemum is highly effective; just a little bit can induce a deep sleep. While Grandpa is asleep, let's hurry and dig for treasure!"
Mi Bao had to admit that traditional Chinese medicine was incredibly powerful; she had set up a spatial passage for Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue entered the courtyard house through the spatial passage. In the middle of the courtyard house stood a towering tree, its age likely similar to that of the courtyard house itself.
She took out a hoe from her spatial supplies and dug hard into the soil under the tree roots.
There was a jar buried right under the roots of this big tree, visible only to her X-ray vision.
The jar was buried quite deep, but fortunately, she had done a lot of physical labor in the countryside since she was a child, so this little bit of work was no problem for her!
She instructed Mibao to go out and keep an eye on people passing by, and to stop if anyone did.
In those days, visibility was very low and noise was also very low. If someone walked by, they could clearly hear the sound of digging a hole in the yard.
Honeydew leaped up the wall in a flash, standing at the highest point and looking down at the surroundings.
When someone came over, it meowed twice to remind Li Xiyue to stop.
The two worked together seamlessly, and half an hour later, Li Xiyue successfully retrieved the jar buried under the tree roots.
She quickly put the jar into her spatial storage, then filled in the large pit, extinguished the small incense burner in the gatehouse, and also put it back into her spatial storage.
She lit a little musk in her original spot.
Musk has a brain-awakening effect and is an antidote for chrysanthemum pollen.
The old man stretched out his arms and yawned, not even understanding how he had fallen asleep in his chair.
He stood up, stretched his limbs, picked up a flashlight, and began his routine inspection of the courtyard.
He looked at the area illuminated by the flashlight beam; everything was eerily quiet, with nothing unusual about it.
However, the gatehouse smelled a little nice, but it wasn't quite the same scent he had before he fell asleep.
He went back to the gatehouse to check, and everything was normal, except for the fragrance that seemed to be coming from nowhere.
Li Xiyue had already run back to her space to look at the jar she had dug out; the mouth of the jar was sealed tightly with mud.
She used a small shovel to remove the mud, opened the jar, and poured out everything inside.
The contents of the jar spilled all over the ground with a clatter.
Inside was a receipt, as well as rows of gleaming gold bars and gleaming silver ingots.
Mibao walked to Li Xiyue's side, tilted her little head and looked at the receipt. The receipt had blue dragon patterns drawn on it and words she couldn't understand.
It said, "What kind of characters are these? Why are they all half-characters?"
Li Xiyue said, "This should be a silver note. Look, it says 30,000 taels of silver."
"Tsk tsk! It's a pity that so much silver can't be redeemed now. This stuff must have been hidden away at the end of the Qing Dynasty."
Mi Bao said, "What a pity! 30,000 taels of silver is a huge sum of money in today's currency, probably more than 20 million!"
Li Xiyue said helplessly, "There are no more banknotes now, and even tens of millions can't be redeemed. Otherwise, this one silver note would be enough to buy weapons!"
However, this banknote is probably an antique. Let's see how much it could sell for online.
Honey immediately listed the silver note online and checked its price. It said, "If sold as an antique, it can only fetch 100,000 now."
Li Xiyue was very dissatisfied with the price. "This price is too low. How can it only sell for 100,000?"
Mibao said, "This price is the overseas price from 1978. After you upgrade, you can specify the era in which your goods will be sold. Then you can sell your items thirty or forty years from now. At that time, these antiques will fetch at least tens of millions!"
Li Xiyue said, "Then let's not sell the silver notes for now. Let's see how many grams these gold bars weigh, and sell the gold bars and silver ingots instead."
Honey Baby weighed the gold bars and silver ingots in its spatial dimension and said, "The current price of gold is 20 yuan per gram. These gold bars and silver ingots can be sold for about one million."
"Tsk tsk! If Yue'er sells all this gold, you can level up twice!"
Li Xiyue pursed her lips and said, "Although it's not as much as I imagined, 1 million should be enough to buy quite a few weapons."
Sell all this gold and silver ingots and buy me weapons and ammunition.
Honey said, "Yes, Madam! I'll get right on it!"
Li Xiyue walked along the alley towards the school. In those days, restaurants were not open at night, only old men selling steamed buns went from street to street.
From afar, Li Xiyue could hear the old man selling steamed buns pushing his bicycle, his long, drawn-out cry, "Meat... buns..."
She quickly caught up with the old man following the sound and bought two jin of meat buns.
Carrying the steamed buns, she turned into an empty alley, entered the spatial passage, and returned directly to the entrance of the school dormitory building.
When she returned to her dormitory room with the steamed buns, all the girls in the room, led by Du Guixiang, were sitting there chatting noisily.
She waved the greasy paper bag in her hand and said, "I bought some meat buns, everyone eat up!"
The girls jumped up in surprise.
Wow, there are meat buns to eat!
"Oh my god, the smell of meat buns makes me so hungry, like my stomach is sticking to my back!"
"Yue'er, you're so kind! You brought us meat buns! Thank you so much!"
Li Xiyue placed the steamed buns on her desk and opened them. The rich aroma of the buns instantly filled the dormitory.
In this era of oil and meat shortages, what everyone lacks most in their stomachs is oil and fat.
Everyone kept swallowing their saliva as they looked at the meat buns.
Li Xiyue distributed the steamed buns to everyone.
Du Guixiang took a big bite of the meat bun and said, "Yue'er, you should eat too! I have something important to tell you!"
Li Yin was struck by lightning! Do you know how she is now? Hahaha! She's laughing so hard she can't live anymore!
Li Xiyue hurriedly asked, "How is she now?!"
