After letting Madam Su return to her room to organize her dowry, An Shuyi and Xia Hua went back to their own residence. Erwa had just given them the land deeds, saying that the three-courtyard house in Qingyan City was selling for five thousand taels of silver. Upon hearing this, the two knew that it was not as high as the house in Jinnan City. The two-courtyard house in Jinnan City cost three thousand taels of silver, and the three-courtyard house was double that, at six thousand taels of silver.
Although the three-courtyard house in Qingyan City was only sold for five thousand taels, Erwa said that the Su family's house was fully furnished and newly built. In order not to let the Su family suffer a loss, the two decided to give her seven thousand taels.
They counted out seven thousand taels of silver from the warehouse and put it in a separate box. After dinner, they told Su to go to their house and give her the box.
Although Madam Su didn't know how much silver the house could fetch, she figured it wouldn't be as much as her mother had given her. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, isn't this a bit too much silver?"
An Shuyi shook her head and explained, "Not much. Erwa said that a three-courtyard house in Qingyan City can sell for five thousand taels now, but your house has furniture and new decorations, so I'll give you seven thousand taels."
“But…” Su wanted to say more, but Xia Hua interrupted her.
"Take whatever we give you and go back!"
Madam Su bowed and said, "Thank you, Mother and Aunt. I'll take my leave now. Please get some rest!" She then left the room.
After watching her leave, An Shuyi and Xia Hua went to wash up. Then the two lay on the bed and looked through their storage room. An Shuyi looked at the contents of the storage room. There were sixteen compartments for food. Whenever the contents of the storage room decreased, Hua Hua would replenish them for her.
One box contained twenty-one bombs, and Huahua kept none for herself; another box contained a dressing case, and the third contained toiletries. Huahua would replenish the toiletries for her whenever they ran out; one box contained a bath tub, and the fourth contained clothes.
One compartment held her underwear. Although she had some underwear on the outside, she still preferred to keep some in the storage room. They were all clean. Another compartment held toilet paper. Seeing the toilet paper reminded her that she hadn't taken the medicine that Dr. Liu had prescribed for them. Since they were going to the mountain, they couldn't take it with them, so it had been sitting there.
These past few days, she's been taking the medicine that Dr. Liu has been brewing. She feels there's no need to take those other conditioning medicines anymore. After all, it's just that her period is irregular, it's not like she's going to die. But Dr. Liu's medicine will leave her feeling half-dead after she finishes it.
One compartment held silver, another held land deeds, another held venison, another held tiger skin, another held banknotes, another held lingzhi mushrooms, and another held tea leaves. After she was injured, the tea leaves were stored in the warehouse and had not yet been processed.
One of them was for lighters. Given her previous act of throwing a bomb, Hua Hua was worried that she wouldn't have any lighters to use if she encountered danger, so she bought her several and put them in there.
There used to be one slot for ginseng, but she ate a few slices, and the rest were put in Hua Hua's warehouse. Now, 31 slots in her warehouse are filled with things, and 69 slots are empty.
She separated everything because she was afraid that if things were piled up together, they would be too hard to find. Otherwise, they could all be piled together and put in the bath tub, taking up only one compartment. However, apart from the Ganoderma lucidum, none of the other items could be sold. Next time she goes up the mountain, she will have to find more items that can be sold and put them in there.
I currently have 21,700 taels in the trading system balance, but I'm about to buy something, so I might lose a few hundred taels. I opened the trading system and bought some new fabrics. I put 20 bolts of each of the patterned fabrics in the warehouse, and 10 bolts of each of the other fabrics.
The woman in the light gauze said she was going to draw some Hanfu dresses that were different from those in this world, but they would be for children and made of light gauze. She said they would definitely sell better, since children's money is the easiest to earn.
She also bought a lot of scallions, ginger, and garlic. These can be eaten now and used for planting. She also bought 30,000 jin of grain. Although Changwu would go to buy more grain every time the village was almost out of food, it was still too expensive. Hers was cheaper.
Next came fruit, which was essential. Besides winemaking, each family would also take some to eat. They also bought chicken, duck, and goose eggs and stored them in the warehouse. As for the chickens, ducks, and geese, they would buy them tomorrow. In addition to these, she also planned to buy two horses.
Before, Erwa and the others used horses to haul goods to sell. Now, the only thing in the village is an oxcart. Although you can ride in an oxcart, it doesn't have a carriage. Things that can't be exposed need to be covered, which is troublesome. Horse-drawn carriages are much better.
Moreover, the horses in her trading system are cheaper, half the price of those bought in Jinnan City. However, she has to buy them tomorrow. There are also live, fat pigs, but unfortunately, there is no place to keep pigs in the village, otherwise she could buy more.
There were also live sheep, which Hua Hua asked her to buy. She said that tomorrow they would not only eat roast suckling pig, but also roast whole lamb. She has been here for more than a year and has only eaten beef a handful of times, let alone lamb, let alone roast whole lamb. Just thinking about it makes her mouth water.
After buying everything, she closed the transaction system and quickly fell asleep in bed.
Xia Hua lay down next to her, also looking through the warehouse. Unlike Shu Shu's warehouse, which was easy to search and where everything was clearly visible, her warehouse was all piled up together. However, for convenience, she had bought many shelves and put things on them.
Her warehouse was huge, about the size of two basketball courts. She divided it into shelves, with food on one side, clothes on the other, and miscellaneous items on the other two sides. Unfortunately, she had tried, and no one was allowed to enter the warehouse, not even living things. It was only for storing simple things, except for dead things, of course.
After checking the warehouse and buying a bunch of braised pork buns, she checked the mall, but there was nothing she wanted to buy. Finally, she turned off the screen and lay down to sleep.
In the morning, right after breakfast, An Shuyi and Xia Hua led more than ten people from their tribe to Jinnan City to buy things. They needed to bring back a lot of things this time, so after arriving, they went to buy boxes and porcelain jars first.
After buying everything, An Shuyi and the others were asked to drive the oxcart back first. In order to get them out of the way, the oxcart was filled with all the things they bought before An Shuyi and the others went to the house.
After closing the gate to the house and checking that everything was in order, the two went to the right wing. An Shuyi started putting things out: cloth, grain, chickens, ducks, geese, fruit, and everything else she could think of.
Xia Hua took the braised meat package out of the warehouse and started packing things up next to it. After putting everything away, she went back outside the yard, released two horses, and tied them up with ropes. Then she bought five live sheep and tied them up with ropes as well.
An Shuyi stopped shopping and asked, "Huahua, I want to buy a few more live pigs, but with so much stuff, we can't possibly haul it all back in one trip."
Although she could sell pork, it was just a piece of meat, without bones, offal, or trotters. She wanted to buy a live pig so she could eat braised large intestines and braised trotters, which would be delicious too.
