Chapter 3 This is money
'Beep, an ancient trumpet creeper vine has been detected. It has no root system and can only be used as a sample teaching aid in the classroom. The price is thirty mall coins.'
Bai Tao, who was about to quit, suddenly her eyes lit up and she looked down at the half vine in her hand.
This was what was left over from the sedan chair. She picked it up and was playing with it in her hands out of boredom.
This thing can be sold for money?!
A pound of rice costs five mall coins, and a piece of vine like this can be sold for thirty mall coins.
There should be a lot of this stuff in the mountains and forests, so maybe I don’t have to go hungry tonight.
Wanjie Mall is good, Wanjie Mall is wonderful, Wanjie Mall is the best!
Bai Tao was praising herself happily in her heart, and seemed to have forgotten that three seconds ago, she was complaining that this was a useless mall.
There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Bai Tao happily raised her hand and called for a stop, her voice full of joy: "Stop, stop, stop!"
Hiss, it’s too cold.
Bai Tao quickly pulled down her rolled-up sleeves and thought to herself, when I have money I must buy myself a set of warm clothes.
Bai Dashan was holding the sedan chair nearby. When he heard Bai Tao shout "stop", he turned around and gestured to the back while shouting "stop". Then he looked at Bai Tao and said, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
"This trumpet creeper vine." Bai Tao raised a piece of the vine in her hand and said, "Take a good look at it. Ask everyone to look around and dig it up for me if you find one with the roots and soil intact."
She was not in a hurry to sell the half vine in her hand to the Wanjie Mall. Even without the roots, she could get thirty mall coins. What about the one with roots and soil?
"Ah?" Bai Dashan was dumbfounded after hearing this. Why would they dig this thing out of the blue?
Bai Tao: "Go quickly, this is very important." This is money!
"Hey, hey hey." Bai Dashan quickly came to his senses. After responding, he instructed several young and strong men in the village to look after the team and take good care of Bai Tao, and then he took the half vine from her hand.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely come back with something."
Seeing Bai Dashan's serious expression, Bai Tao's mouth twitched. It wasn't like he was going to the battlefield, so there was no need to make the atmosphere so solemn.
But it was about money, and money was about whether one could have enough food to eat, so Bai Tao nodded and reminded him, "Remember, bring it with you, including the roots and soil. Try to keep it intact."
"Hey!" Bai Dashan nodded heavily: "Auntie, don't worry!"
The waiting time was extremely long, especially when the cold wind blew through the forest, it seemed even longer.
Just when Bai Tao sneezed several times and felt like her neck was about to stretch, more than an hour later, Bai Dashan and his men came back.
Five people took off two coats and wrapped the three vines. Seeing how carefully they were holding them, someone who didn't know would think they were holding some treasure.
"Aunt, we brought the things back." As soon as they saw Bai Tao, they reported with a smile on their faces.
This vine can be seen from time to time in the wild forests in the mountains, but everyone calls it firecracker flower. My aunt calls it more politely, calling it "Lingwhatflower".
Although they don't understand what these firecrackers are used for, since my aunt said they are very important, they should treat them well.
"You're back?" Bai Tao quickly got up from the stone next to her, her eyes lit up with excitement: "Let me see."
Bai Dashan explained while motioning the villager he was holding to open the clothes wrapped around the vines.
"Auntie, this thing is not uncommon, but there are not many around here, and we don't have any suitable tools, so it will take some time to dig the soil with branches."
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you find it." Bai Tao waved her hand indifferently and grabbed one of the plants.
'Beep, a complete ancient trumpet creeper vine has been detected. It is fresh and can be planted. The price is one thousand mall coins.'
When Bai Tao saw the price, she almost laughed out loud. As expected, the complete one was more valuable, and the price was more than ten times higher than the half one.
She smiled with her eyes curved, and praised to Bai Dashan and others, "Good, this is it." Then she picked up the clothes wrapped in vines and was about to leave.
After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to Bai Dashan and the other five and said, "I'll give you credit for this achievement."
When the four people from Bai Dashan heard this, they immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, Auntie."
Although they don't know what the point of being commended is, this means that my aunt is praising them for doing a good job, so how can they not be happy?
Bai Tao carried her things and went into the woods, saying, "I'm going to go to the bathroom, don't follow me."
"Hey, auntie, please slow down. If you have any problem, just shout."
Hearing this, Bai Tao did not respond, but just raised her little arm and waved twice without looking back to show that she heard it.
A few minutes later, she came out carrying clothes, and the trumpet creeper vines were gone.
Handing the clothes to Bai Dashan, Bai Tao said that they could continue on their way.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Bai Tao swayed with the car and a look of regret flashed across her face. She only sold one plant.
She said that it was impossible for such a good thing to happen, otherwise she would definitely ask the villagers to pick all the trumpet creepers in the mountains.
However, with the idea that no matter how small an ant is, it is still meat, she also submitted the half of the trumpet creeper vine for sale.
After this operation, Bai Tao finally understood that the Wanjie Mall, as the name suggests, connects all the worlds.
The demands of different sectors vary, and the mall will refresh the things that different sectors will sell and buy from time to time.
For example, the purchase information of trumpet creeper was published by a plant research institute called Yanhuo Xingqiu. It is a special purchase. Generally, the price of such purchase information will be higher.
Now Bai Tao has 1,030 mall coins in his hand, so he starts to look at what he can buy.
Rice and flour cost three to five mall coins per pound. Vegetables are both expensive and cheap. Cabbage, pumpkin, winter melon and the like cost five pounds for one mall coin. Of course, there are also vegetables that cost more than ten or twenty mall coins per pound.
Bai Tao also saw vegetables she had never seen before, which cost more than 100 mall coins per pound. When she looked at the origin of the goods, she realized that they were from another planet. No wonder.
He lacked this and that, and he only had so many mall coins in his hand. Bai Tao looked at them again and again, and for a moment he didn't know what to buy.
It will be dark soon. If we light a fire, the problem of the cold can be solved, but we cannot have no food in our stomach.
Bai Tao had just decided what to buy when they walked to a relatively spacious place. Bai Dashan discussed it with the old hunter in the village and came forward.
"Auntie, it's getting dark. Old Blackhead said there's no suitable place to rest for another ten miles. Do you think it's okay for us to stay here tonight?"
Hearing this, Bai Tao glanced around, nodded, and said in a baby voice: "Okay, let's stay here tonight. It's cold at night, you can make the arrangements."
"Hey."
The people of Taohua Village were fleeing for the first time, but they were not the kind of people who would just eat and wait for death. Although everyone was at a loss at the beginning, they soon got busy and worked in an orderly manner.
