Helpless, she could only make him another set of clothes. Perhaps if he had more clothes, he would be more willing to wear them. Anyway, she had plenty of fabric. However, she was hesitating whether to sell the mother tree, Da Hong Pao.
Although she still had silver in her trading system, there weren't many things she could buy. She didn't know if the mother tree, Da Hong Pao, would survive in the future, so she thought about selling it to increase her silver and thus expand the range of things she could buy.
When the clansmen were resting at night, An Shuyi lay on the ground with two children beside her. She turned to her side, brought up the transaction system, and looked at her balance. There were still more than 700 taels left. Before, she had more than 800 taels. In Anhe Prefecture, she spent more than 100 taels on food, money to go into the city, and money to buy things for her family.
She also bought some more grain through the trading system. So now she has more than 700 taels left. She didn't touch the original owner's silver. There are still more than 100 taels of silver in the warehouse. That was all the money paid by the clansmen for buying grain and other things. Even the silver given when entering the city was all shared by everyone, because that's the only fair way.
Now her warehouse has a hundred storage compartments: sixteen for food, one for a water bucket, one for a dressing case, one for toiletries, one for underwear, one for a large red robe, one for toilet paper, one for a bath tub, and one for silver. There are still seventy-six compartments left, but she has decided to sell the large red robe.
She opened the trading system and sold the Da Hong Pao robe. She discovered that as long as something was harmless and belonged to this world, it would appear in the trading system's inventory, and she could simply click to sell it. Other items given by Hua Hua could not be sold.
Once the mother tree's Da Hong Pao tea was sold, her balance immediately increased to 2,230 taels. She clicked back, then opened the purchase section. This time, the number of items she could buy increased by ten: sweet potatoes, carrots, corn, tomatoes, and watermelons. She hadn't expected to find fruit available this time.
Seeing these fruits, she suddenly remembered that Hua Hua's family didn't seem to have any fruit. They ate fast food, without any vegetables or fruits. Otherwise, someone as fond of fruit as Hua Hua wouldn't not eat any.
Apples and strawberries are what Huahua loves to eat; I'll give her some tomorrow. Silk—I didn't expect they'd switch from selling fabrics to selling silk, and it even comes in two colors, red and white. The last item is a piece of paper, and it's incredibly expensive, costing a whopping 500 taels a sheet.
But after looking at the blueprint, she realized that five hundred taels wasn't so bad, because what was written on the paper was actually a kind of potion that could kill locusts. Thinking about the locusts that would appear in the future, she felt that selling the mother tree, Da Hong Pao, was the right choice.
Thinking back to when she sold orchids before, this blueprint didn't appear either. She figured that even when she sold them, the blueprint probably wouldn't have appeared. If she wasn't mistaken, the trading system would provide whatever she needed based on her requirements.
Previously, all she needed was rice, meat, vegetables, and cloth. Now that locusts have appeared, it seems they are about to arrive, but she has no land. What use are the blueprints to her?
They're still on their way. If the locusts come, there won't be any food left, and they'll eventually have to fly away. The grain they have on their carts will probably be eaten by the locusts by the time they arrive. Using five hundred taels to buy a blueprint to save a few dozen taels of grain is out of the question. She's not stupid.
As for offering the blueprint to the Emperor, the Prefect, or the Magistrate, forget it. That would be suicide. She didn't have such lofty ideals, because doing so might cost her life—no, it might cost the lives of her entire clan.
You have to understand, there's a drought everywhere right now. If she were to brazenly take the blueprints to the officials and say that locusts are coming and that the medicine on these blueprints can kill them, she might be the one killed in the next second.
So she wouldn't do something so foolish for the sake of her life. Anyway, there's a drought all over the country right now, so there probably isn't much food. Even if the locusts come, they'll have to fly away if they don't have anything to eat. Once she's settled, if locusts appear, she can buy the blueprints and then study how to make the potion.
Looking at the fruit in the trading system, I bought more than ten kilograms of strawberries and put them in the warehouse. I also bought some watermelons and apples, which I will give to Huahua tomorrow. Listening to the gurgling sounds coming from the cave, I went to sleep. My life is more important.
Awoo*
"Holy crap, can I really be this unlucky?!" An Shuyi suddenly jumped up from the ground, along with Xia Hua who was not far away. Without saying a word, she rushed outside and ran into the clansmen who were about to come in.
Upon seeing them emerge, the tribespeople hurriedly exclaimed, "Sisters-in-law, there are many wolves outside! What should we do?"
"Go in and wake up Mu Tou and the others. Everyone come out to kill the wolves. The old people and children should stay in the cave. Push the cart over there to block the entrance, and light more torches." After An Shuyi finished speaking, she jumped into her family's carriage and took out her broadsword.
Looking at Xia Hua holding a baseball bat, he said, "Hua Hua, you should have a large machete, right? Get another one. If anyone asks, just say you bought it in Anhe Prefecture. They won't know anything about it anyway."
“Okay,” Xia Hua said, then remembered that they were wolves now, and using a baseball bat was indeed inappropriate. Unfortunately, she couldn’t buy a large machete there, only a machete that was similar to an axe, with a long handle and a wide blade, which she figured was for chopping bones.
She bought two and took them out, one in each hand.
Seeing her come out, An Shuyi and she walked towards the front of the cave. The cave was very spacious. There used to be carts, but they had been moved to the side. Horses, cows, and mules had also been moved to the side by the tribesmen on night watch. Now it was very spacious.
Looking at the wolves below the hillside, there were indeed quite a few, at least fifty or sixty. I wondered if the tribesmen could manage with two people per wolf.
While the two women were observing, the wolves were also trying to approach.
"Sisters-in-law, we're here." Village Chief Lin arrived with his clansmen. They had woken up when they heard the wolf howling, but they were slower than the two sisters-in-law.
An Shuyi looked at them as they approached and said, "Wood, there are about fifty or sixty wolves. If you two are to be responsible for one, can you handle it? You should also know that these wolves hold grudges. If you're going to kill them, you have to kill them all. Otherwise, even leaving one alive will cause trouble later. If you can't do it, then the three of you can work together."
"Of course, if that doesn't work, then you guys hold off those wolves and prevent them from attacking me and Huahua. Once we've dealt with them, we'll help you kill them."
