Chapter 54 The Treasure Box is Here

When Bai Shanquan and the others saw this, they couldn't help but secretly regret why they were not as cunning as Duojin.

This guy is so cunning that he swept all the stone pits, so they couldn't find it even if they wanted to.

"Not bad, not bad." Bai Tao's face was full of praise, and her expression of 'You are very good, I am optimistic about you' was written on her face, "You are still very careful."

This carefulness can be exchanged for 12.6 million coins, so I have to praise it.

There are more than 12 million coins, enough for more than 200 people in the village to eat and drink for a while.

More than a hundred gold coins flew by, and he couldn't suppress the smile any more. He glanced at the others proudly and said, "Look, you guys, my lady is praising me."

Bai Tao then sold the two small rubies. Now she has sixteen top-grade rubies and twenty-three mid-grade rubies.

She just pretended not to hear the next prompt from the mall. Good gems were becoming increasingly rare, and their prices would only go up. She wasn't short of money now, so she wasn't in a hurry.

I checked the mall several times but didn't see any sign of selling Baitao, so I had to keep quiet.

It was almost noon.

Bai Dashan looked up at the sky, then came up to Bai Tao and said, "Auntie, while it's still early, why don't you walk a little further?"

"No rush. We've been traveling all night. Let's take a break and set off after lunch." The villagers didn't say anything, but that didn't mean Bai Tao didn't see the fatigue on their faces.

She didn't feel tired sitting in the sedan chair, but she couldn't help but think about everyone.

It’s okay for the young and middle-aged people, but the others, young and old, can’t stand it.

Thinking about it, Bai Tao turned around and looked for it: "By the way, where is my treasure box?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Mucheng raised his hand and said, "Here, here. Aunt, your treasure box is here."

Bai Dashan was puzzled. Wasn't the aunt's bamboo basket always hung behind her sedan chair? How come...

When he saw Bai Mucheng coming over with a box in his arms, Bai Dashan fell silent.

Wow, this is a box, but it also lives up to the name that my aunt called out.

Box cage = treasure chest, very appropriate.

Bai Tao also saw the brand new box and her eyes lit up: "Did you make this? It looks really nice."

"Yeah." Bai Mucheng smiled shyly: "Auntie, I always hear you shouting about the treasure box, so I thought, I'll make you a box, which will be convenient for you to use."

When he heard his aunt calling for it, he had already made up his mind, and he worked hard, and finally finished getting the box ready today.

"Okay, but it's so big, where should I put it?" Don't tell her to hold it.

As for the bamboo basket, when not in use, you can just hang it behind the sedan chair. It is light and does not get in the way.

'Beep, Rosewood found, diameter less than 10 centimeters, price 10,000 coins.'

Bai Tao was stunned for a moment, looked around, and finally, at the suggestion of the mall, her eyes fell on the lid of the box.

Rosewood?
A wooden box cage with a lid made of rosewood?

Is it so luxurious?

However, only the lid of the box is made of rosewood. I guess no one knew what kind of wood the white wood was when it was used.

"Auntie, look, just put it here." Bai Mucheng is the most skillful carpenter in Taohua Village. He has been working as a carpenter for twenty years, so it is natural that he would not have failed to consider this.

As he spoke, he picked up the box and quickly installed it behind the chair of the sedan chair. This way it didn't take up space and it was convenient for Bai Tao to take things while sitting in the sedan chair.

I was worried that the sedan chair would be too heavy with the boxes and cages, but Bai Shanquan and his friends could lift even large rocks, so this weight was no problem. "Auntie, the boxes and cages can be removed for daily use, and are easy to carry." Bai Mucheng said as he demonstrated.

Bai Tao came back to her senses, walked up to the sedan chair with great interest and sat down. She tried the box and found it was really convenient.

"Not bad, not bad. You have a quick mind and good skills."

In addition to Bai Mucheng, there are two other carpenters in the village, and they are really skillful.

The sedan chair she sat in did not have a single nail, and was made entirely of mortise and tenon joints, which amazed Bai Tao, a time traveler.

"Hehe~" Bai Mucheng scratched his head embarrassedly: "As long as my aunt likes it."

After doing carpentry work for so many years, this was the first time he was so happy about making a box.

"I like it, of course I do."

"By the way, where did you get the wood for the lid of this box?"

Bai Mucheng took a look and soon formed an impression: "Auntie, this wood was brought back by Brother Tiechui when he went to investigate that day."

He happened to be short of it, so he just took it and used it.

"That's it." Bai Tao understood and didn't ask any more questions, nor did she pay attention to the mall's Didi.

She already has four small goals, so can she still take off the lids of the boxes and cages made by the younger generation and sell them?

"You traveled all night yesterday and must be exhausted." Bai Tao opened the lid of the box again and took out a bag of things.

They already knew that taking things out had nothing to do with the container, so when they saw Bai Tao taking things out of the box, the villagers were just stunned for a moment and then subconsciously looked away.

“This is a sugar orange.”

One net bag is five kilograms. After Bai Tao carried it several times, she signaled Bai Dashan to take over and said, "Take your people to distribute it to everyone. One bag per person. But it will be lunchtime soon, so don't eat too much."

"Hey." Bai Dashan nodded heavily: "Thank you for your hard work, aunt."

Originally when Bai Tao bought the tangerines, she was thinking that since tangerines are delicious and everyone likes them, she might as well buy a few more, and each person could buy eight or ten kilograms and enjoy the food to their heart's content.

But Bai Dashan didn't think so. He took less than half of the amount prepared by Bai Tao, and started distributing it.

For those under six years old, there are five for each person; for those under ten years old, there are seven for each person; and for those over ten years old, there are ten for each person. According to their age, there is no more and no less for anyone.

"This is a sugar orange. My aunt said it's very sweet. But we'll have dinner soon, so don't eat too much."

"Thank you, aunt~"

"I'm sorry to trouble you, grandma."

Bai Tao was eating happily with a net bag in her hand. When she heard the villagers thanking her and looked up and waved to indicate that they were welcome, she happened to see this scene and was speechless.

I think she just said one net bag for each person?
The tangerines are not big, and she bought quite a few of them, so there is no need to be so stingy.

But Bai Dashan doesn't think so. What my aunt gives is mostly out of love for everyone. It doesn't mean that everyone can be ignorant. No matter how good the food is, you can't eat it without restraint.

With so many people eating to their heart's content, even the richest man would go bankrupt.

The villagers saw the sugar oranges for the first time and kept looking at them. They were not big and felt small in their hands. Are they ripe?
It looks ripe and the skin is soft, not at all hard like the wild oranges from the mountains, and it smells sweet.

Soon, everyone peeled it with anticipation, and when they put it in their mouths and took a bite, everyone's eyes lit up.
