Chapter 158 Another lottery ticket!
The appearance of this makeup box is nothing special, no carvings or patterns, just two small round wooden handles on the front door. But the wood used is definitely good wood, Bai Tieying thinks this box, which is one foot square, weighs more than ten pounds.
All the way, Mrs. Zhou helped her hold it, and she didn't pay much attention to it. But when they got off the car, Mrs. Zhou told her to use some strength to hold it. Then she noticed how heavy the box was. She apologized to Mrs. Zhou and said that she didn't notice the weight, otherwise she wouldn't have let her hold it all the way. If there was a misunderstanding, it was resolved on the spot. Otherwise, wouldn't the favor she had just said in front of the ancestors be in vain?
Open the double doors on the front, there are five layers in total. The first layer is the top cover, which is a bronze mirror inlaid on the surface. The drawers below can be pulled out separately to store things, and can also be used as a fixing point for the bronze mirror. There are two combs in it now, a wider one is a wide-toothed wooden comb, and the other is a narrower one that seems to be made of cow horn.
The second layer contained colorful hair ropes; the third layer was a few headscarves; the fourth layer was four hairpins made of wood, jade, silver and gold, which were obviously used by girls; the fifth layer was various flowers, including peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, pear blossoms, and orchids, one pair each.
Bai Tieying looked at the jade bracelet in her arms in the remaining daylight and put it in the box. She didn't know whether these things were good or bad, but if they could be worn by the old ancestor, they couldn't be too bad. And Madam Zhou prepared these for her because she wanted to make friends with her, otherwise she would just give her silver.
Bai Tieying left the box for Bai Tiexiong to see, and she went to the space. Suddenly she thought of Bai Wanli and his sister, and after sensing them, she shook her head and went to make dinner.
When she was about to take it out, the girl suddenly cried out. Bai Tieying was so amused that she gave the "pregnant woman" a meal - the roast chicken she just bought today. I don't know why the girl is so fond of roast chicken. Isn't she afraid of saltiness? In the end, the girl said that saltiness is just right for her to drink more well water... Bai Tieying was speechless.
After dinner, Bai Tieying told his uncle about what happened today. His uncle said that he had known Manager Xiang since he was a child and that he was a good person, but he couldn't say much about the Zhou family. He had been a pulse checker at the Zhou family for several years before, but later someone wanted to buy medicine from him, but he was too lazy to get involved in such dirty business, so he simply didn't show up once, twice, and finally refused.
Bai Tieying thought about it and realized that she had seen a lot of palace fighting and family disputes on TV and mobile phones in her previous life. So she should go to the Zhou family less often in the future. Her initial thought of gaining experience and expanding her network was wrong. For someone like her, she would definitely be cannon fodder that would not survive more than three episodes.
Because she had been running around outside all day, her uncle took her to the space at night to memorize lessons and identify herbs. Although she had set the space to sunny, she still felt dizzy after the test.
She's almost going crazy trying to remember all the medicines for this grass and that grass... the flowers are used as medicine, the roots are used as medicine, the whole plant is used as medicine; they are used to relieve pain, insomnia, and bleeding from trauma; the most ridiculous thing is this, oval, nearly round, elliptical, they are all the same, okay?
Finally, no matter how much well water she drank, it didn't help and her eyelids kept drooping, so her uncle let her go to bed. As a result, she went to the toilet many times that night, and when she woke up in the morning, she had dark bags under her eyes.
Bai Tieying sat beside her uncle and helped him with his homework. She kept nodding her head, so her uncle simply sent her back to sleep. Bai Tieying felt refreshed after waking up. She followed her uncle and flattered him, and finally made her uncle promise that she would not stay up late to study anymore.
After lunch, she strolled to Chunfutang and settled the bill with Zhang, the shopkeeper, for the mountain products she had delivered yesterday. She asked Zhang to write her a receipt so that she could settle the bill with the villagers later and it would also serve as a voucher.
Shopkeeper Zhang asked her why she left yesterday afternoon after dropping off her things, and she told him about her visit to Zhou's house. After considering it for a while, Shopkeeper Zhang also told her that there might be some things that big families should avoid, and asked her to be more careful when interacting with them in the future.
Shopkeeper Zhang talked to her about the canned food again, meaning that he wanted to contact General Zhao directly instead of going through General Li, because if the matter was passed through one hand, the profit would be diluted.
Bai Tieying said there was no rush, and that they should first sort out the procedures for the cans and find the sources of the goods they needed. In addition, they should pay attention to the concept of anti-counterfeiting, because when they were discussing the price yesterday, they mentioned the issue of whether the pottery can be recycled.
Bai Tieying suddenly remembered how to let Zhang contact General Zhao directly, so he told him to go back to the courtyard and see. As they talked, they somehow talked about the problem of cargo transportation. Bai Tieying thought of the trains in the future, so he talked to Zhang about the idea of railroad cars, which surprised Zhang and he decided to build a small section in the warehouse.
It doesn't make much money without labor, mainly because it takes too much time to ship goods in and out. But not only is the land in the city expensive, but it's also hard to buy a good location, and they don't dare to put the warehouse outside the city, so Bai Tieying asked why they didn't use a horse-drawn carriage?
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said, "If someone hadn't paid you for the carriage yesterday, wouldn't the mountain products you delivered be in vain?"
Bai Tieying realized that horses were the fastest means of transportation here, so they were naturally the most expensive. Donkeys, mules, and cows were the main means of transportation, but only a small number of people could use them, and most people walked on foot.
Thinking of this, Bai Tieying suddenly wanted to buy a horse. It was true that she had a space, but people with golden fingers also had to move. If there was nothing urgent, it would be fine. If there was something urgent, she couldn't fly. She had so much money, it would be a waste to keep it in the space. Besides, wasn't the meaning of making money to make herself live comfortably?
In her original life, most people had enough food and clothing. Although paying off the debt was hard, it only took a few years. Besides, she didn't plan to lose money after paying off the debt. She just happened to be transported here.
After arriving here, except for the first few days, she first received the "reward" from General Zhao, then the "gift" from that idiot Xiao Qian, and then the huge amount of money she received from Chunfu Hall. In fact, she did not live a poor life.
Thinking this way, she basically felt happy without suffering. She was not here to survive, but to ascend to heaven! Because if her current assets were converted into the original world, it would be another lottery ticket! So what was the point of keeping it? Now that she had a house, the next step was of course to buy a car!
Bai Tieying said goodbye to Shopkeeper Zhang excitedly, and first went to the courtyard to leave some things for Shopkeeper Zhang to keep in touch with General Zhao, and then she went to the cattle and horse market in the East Market.
Maybe it was because of the season, there were not many people in the cattle and horse market. Bai Tieying looked around and asked around, but he really didn't want to buy the mule they recommended. He really didn't want to, and his head was shaking as if he didn't want to.
