Chapter 77 Searching for the Secret



After locking the courtyard gate and the house door from the inside, Yunxi began to take stock of the supplies.

Just from a single grain of rice and a single grain of wheat flour, it was discovered that the quantity contained exceeded the original amount.

Yunxi originally ordered only 10,000 catties each of rice and wheat flour, but when they just did a quick count, they found that the two kinds of grains had already exceeded that number.

After careful calculation, it was found that the amount of rice had increased by 3,000 jin, the amount of wheat flour by 2,000 jin, and even the amount of cornmeal, millet, and sorghum had increased.

The weight gain ranged from 1,000 jin to tens of thousands of jin, which was far too much.

Yunxi felt a little hot in her hands, especially since she felt she hadn't done anything, yet people were giving her so many things, which made her feel uneasy.

There were just the right amount of soybeans, mung beans, red beans, broad beans, and sesame seeds, which was exactly what I ordered. However, I received about 2,000 jin (1,000 catties) more peanuts than I expected.

It seems he didn't have much of those things; he must have had a hard time collecting them. The remaining peanuts were probably ones that Uncle Liu already had, and since he was leaving, he simply gave them all to me.

The peanut oil and soybean oil were packaged in a large plastic bucket, a type of bucket Yunxi had never seen in the village before. He lifted it with force and felt it weighed about 100 jin (50 catties).

Originally, I only thought that I would get 2,000 catties of each kind, but when I looked at the tall pile of plastic buckets in the left wing and counted them, I realized that it was more than 2,000 catties, about 500 catties more.

I just don't know if the extra 500 jin is peanut oil or soybean oil?

When you take inventory of an item, you store the quantity of that item into your storage space.

After all the oil in the plastic buckets was put into the space, the large vats underneath were revealed. There were ten large vats in total. I carefully lifted the lids and took a sniff. To my surprise, they were vinegar and soy sauce.

I imagine I can make about 100 jin (50 catties) per vat, which should be just enough to meet my target quantity.

Store the soy sauce and vinegar separately in a small compartment so you don't have to worry about mixing them up.

Everything, whether it's refined grains or coarse grains, should be placed in a separate place, as long as the items are different.

After packing up everything in the left wing, they went to the right wing, where the most conspicuous items were the tall piles of burlap sacks in the corner.

I took a look and was surprised to find that it was full of smoke. This tall pile looked like at least 100 sacks of salt. Suddenly I wondered if it was a bit too much.

Each sack contains 100 sacks, weighing at least 50 jin (25 catties), which is equivalent to about 5,000 jin (2,500 catties) of salt, 2,000 jin (1,000 catties) more than the 3,000 jin (1,500 catties) I needed.

After storing the salt in his spatial storage, he was still quite shocked when he looked at the contents of the remaining sack, even though he had already seen it and knew it contained sugar cubes such as brown sugar, white sugar, and rock sugar.

You should know that if you want to buy brown sugar, white sugar, or rock sugar separately, the supply and marketing cooperative is often out of stock. Even if there is a stock available, it is immediately divided up by the cooperative's own employees.

I suddenly felt incredibly grateful to Uncle Liu, as these were things I couldn't just buy whenever I wanted.

Sometimes she even thought about whether to open up a piece of land deep in the mountains and forests.

Just grow beets and sugarcane, and then make your own brown sugar. Now all your worries are solved.

After a while, I'll be able to try it out and see what the legendary sweet and sour fish tastes like.

After counting the amount of sugar, there was about 500 jin of brown sugar and about 800 jin of white sugar, but there was a little less rock sugar, only about 300 jin.

After storing all the sugar in my spatial storage, I saw about ten rolls of fabric on the side. These rolls of fabric looked like no one wanted them and were just piled up in the corner.

Moreover, it was just piled up there haphazardly, without any tidying up at all. Old Liu really lived up to his reputation as a fabric seller; he just casually piled it up like a garbage dump.

After packing everything away from the house, Yunxi felt she owed Uncle Liu a huge favor.

There were far too many extra things. If she had known they were this good, she should have given him more gold. Now she felt a little embarrassed.

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see Uncle Liu again. I hope we'll meet again someday.

After packing everything up, Yunxi checked every corner of the three rooms. Since Uncle Liu had told her to thoroughly inspect the rooms after moving everything, he wouldn't have said such a thing so casually.

There must be something inside that he wanted to tell me.

There was nothing on the surface, and it was unknown whether it was buried underground. Although Yunxi's mental strength was somewhat weak, and she could only see things within a five-meter radius, it was still quite impressive compared to the fact that everyone in this world was an ordinary person.

Starting with the central room, he used his mental energy to search the ground inch by inch, leaving no stone unturned.

After finding nothing in the middle room, they went directly to the left wing, only to find that there was nothing underneath it.

They could only place all their hopes on the right-hand wing, and searched more carefully. Finally, they found an empty space below the innermost wall.

After finding the hiding place, Yunxi began looking for the switch to open it. She didn't believe there wasn't a switch; otherwise, how could he have hidden the things?

There wasn't a single trace of digging inside the entire house; there must have been some kind of mechanism to achieve this.

Slowly, I felt my way along the wall, little by little. Ten minutes passed quickly. I kept feeling my way until I was almost at the door when I felt a slightly uneven spot.

By forcefully striking the uneven area, perhaps using too much force, that section of the wall was smashed.

What was smashed wasn't a wall at all, but a wooden board. After sweeping away all the sawdust, they found something that looked like a small dog inside.

Yunxi reached out to pick up the puppy, only to find that she couldn't lift it at all; it was as if it were welded to the inside.
