Chapter 7 Rare things are more valuable
"That's natural. Taohua Village has never produced anyone who betrays their clan and ancestors."

“I dare not forget it even in my dreams.”

"I won't forget it even if I die!"

The villagers swore and cursed at once.

We are not stupid. The Hu people are willing to come from the border to burn, kill and loot just for a bite of food, not to mention anything else.

These things are so good and so magical. If people outside knew about them, who knows how much trouble it would cause. It is possible that the entire Taohua Village would be wiped out.

My aunt is young, and no matter how capable and smart she is, there are things she doesn't think through.

But there is no need to talk about these things and make me worry. They can handle it.

If I can do everything and take care of everything, why do I need them? Wouldn't it make them seem useless?

Although, they are really useless.

Bai Tao sat cross-legged with her head propped up, looking at the excited and encouraged villagers. She felt that even those who worked in pyramid schemes and sales would have to admit defeat to Bai Dashan's brainwashing skills.

To be precise, it is the admiration for the rules passed down from generation to generation in Taohua Village.

Holding a cup of milk tea and drinking it, Bai Tao glanced at the page that had turned gray. She felt a pity in her heart. It turned out that discounts on special items were not always available, so she gave it an hour.

Fortunately, she had sharp eyes and acted without hesitation, otherwise there would be nothing.

She bought this bottle of milk tea before dinner, and there are still eight hours left for it to be consumed.

The discounted milk tea costs two mall coins, so she now has 3,500 mall coins.

You can't just sit there and do nothing, you have to find a way to make some money tomorrow.

Thinking that the milk tea would expire in eight hours, Bai Tao quickly took a few more sips.

"Auntie, do you have anything to say?"

Bai Dashan's question brought Bai Tao back to her senses. She chewed the pearls in her mouth twice, swallowed them, and then shook her head: "There's nothing to say."

She is just a five-year-old baby, how can she have so much to say?

"Everyone is tired after a day, so go to bed early if you have nothing else to do."

After saying that, Bai Tao spoke up again to remind him, "It's not safe in the wild mountains. Remember to arrange for someone to be on guard."

Listening to her own serious yet childish voice, Bai Tao shook her head helplessly. Forget it, she is only five years old now, so take it slow.

"Hey, auntie, don't worry." Bai Dashan had arranged this matter in the afternoon.

Everyone was exhausted from running for their lives, panicking and fearful. Except for the night watchman, everyone else slowly fell asleep.

Bai Tao fell asleep early with her round belly full of satisfaction.

The place where she slept had been carefully tidied.

First, some stones were laid on the ground, then a layer of leaves on the stones, then dry grass, then a thick layer of leaves with very broad leaves, and finally two straw mats.

Even though the straw mat couldn't block much wind, Bai Tao's location was at the innermost part, and the wind was mostly blocked by the villagers outside. Plus with the fire there, it was naturally not cold.

If you go to bed early, you will get up early.

When it was almost dawn, Bai Tao climbed up in a daze.

The villagers were used to getting up early, so when she got up, the villagers who got up early had either almost finished weaving a bamboo basket or had already finished weaving two pairs of straw sandals.

Traveling is the most labor-intensive process, especially straw sandals, which can be replaced two or three pairs a day, so as long as the villagers have some free time, they will not stop making straw sandals. Seeing Bai Tao wake up, the villagers greeted her one after another.

"Auntie, you're awake."

"Good morning, auntie."

"Auntie~"

Bai Tao rubbed her eyes and got up. Her soft voice was still filled with sleepiness: "Yeah, wake up, wake up. How did everyone sleep?"

"We are all fine."

"Yes, auntie, we slept well."

Even though we were running for our lives, we were eating food we had never eaten before, and going to bed after eating. Our stomachs felt fuller than ever before, so how could that be bad?

Everyone had a smile on their face today, without any of the confusion and panic from yesterday.

The fire never went out that night, and no one caught a cold because of it. However, everyone still drank some wild ginger and garlic soup.

The wild ginger and wild garlic were brought back yesterday by someone who was looking for wild vegetables. The mall offered six mall coins per pound, but the white peaches only weighed a few pounds, so they were simply not sold.

There were still more than eighty lunch boxes left from yesterday. Bai Tao took a look and took out eighty kilograms of rice from the space warehouse while going to the bathroom.

Eighty kilograms of rice plus more than eighty lunch boxes. Although the quantity is not large, just add more water and some wild vegetables, and it will be enough for one bowl for each person.

When going to the toilet, Bai Tao dug up two camellia seedlings and sold them to the mall, earning three hundred coins, and felt very happy.

If you have income early in the morning, the day will definitely be smooth!
At this time, the people who went to fetch water also came back. They happily came to Bai Tao with bamboo baskets, as if presenting treasures: "Auntie, look, we caught three turtles."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tao looked through the opened lid of the bamboo basket. Oh, there were two adults and one child, a family of three gathered together neatly.

'Beep, Spiny Tortoise detected, priced at 30,000 each.'

Thirty thousand per piece?
When Bai Tao heard it, he immediately clicked it carefully to make sure that he had heard it correctly, then clicked on the details next to it to read the annotations.

No wonder they offered such a high price, it turned out that the aquatic animal research department from an alien planet was looking to buy it.

When she looked again, she found that the purchase notice had been posted for almost three years.

So, the Spiny Tortoise is an endangered or even extinct species in that world?!
Rare things are precious!
Thinking of this, Bai Tao's eyes turned and she immediately started to bargain: "No, this is a family of three, it would be too cruel to separate them."

"Unless you pay more!" If there was a mirror at this time, Bai Tao would definitely see that her eyes were glowing green.

Two minutes later, the mall alert sounded again.

"Beep, Spiny Tortoise, priced at 40,000 each."

Bai Tao's eyes sparkled, and without thinking, she said, "A package for the family of three is 188,888, no bargaining!"

Mall: '...' If it could talk, it would definitely shout angrily, didn't we agree that it can be done by just adding money?
"It's OK if it works, forget it if it doesn't. Scarcity makes things valuable. This is a precious wild spiny tortoise. Look at the shell, the edges, the head..." Bai Tao said to herself.

As for understanding the system mall, apart from some tips and annotations, Bai Tao had to figure out all the other rules bit by bit.

She is just experimenting now to see if bargaining with the mall will work.

In business, I make an offer and you bargain.

If that doesn't work, she can just return it or sell one, she won't suffer any loss anyway.

What if it works?
"These are all gifts from the younger generations to honor my great-aunt. Filial piety is so precious, it is a priceless treasure. I really can't bear to part with it..."
