Chapter 8 Green Mountains and Clear Waters Are Treasures

The mall probably encountered someone bargaining like this for the first time and was unable to react for a moment.

After about two or three minutes of silence, when the prompt sound sounded again, Bai Tao showed a happy smile on her face.

'Beep, three Spiny Tortoises, sold in a package, 188,888 Mall Coins. Do you want to trade?'

Look, isn’t it done?
Selling in packages seems feasible, but it also depends on the circumstances.

Bai Tao closed the lid of the bamboo basket and praised the man fetching water, "Not bad, I'll take this turtle."

"Hehe, as long as I like it." Bai Shanquan grinned. He said, "Well, I'm still a baby, I'm sure she likes to raise small animals or something."

The turtle symbolizes longevity. I am a very lucky person. This turtle is the perfect gift for me to play with.

"Okay, I'll give you guys a credit." One hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, so she must be credited with a big credit. As for what credit she would be given, she hadn't thought of it yet.

After Bai Tao finished speaking, Bai Shanquan and his companions, who had captured the thorny mountain turtle and brought it back, were extremely happy.

"Thank you, auntie."

That’s great! Lao Heitou and the others were commended yesterday, which made everyone envious. Now it’s their turn.

The people watching on were full of envy. They all had a head on their shoulders, so why didn’t I think of this?

Someone felt annoyed, wondering why he was not lucky enough to meet her when he went to fetch water yesterday. Otherwise, it would not be someone else's turn to be praised by her.

Someone cleverly said, "Auntie, Auntie, do you still want it? I'll go find it for you."

It's just a turtle. He doesn't believe that there is only one nest within a hundred miles. There must be others.

"Yes, yes, auntie, we'll also go find you a mountain tortoise. Or is there anything else you'd like to keep as a tortoise?"

There are so many things to find in the mountains, as long as I'm interested.

"No need." Bai Tao shook her little head and said, "It's almost time. We'll set off soon. Don't run around."

I have already sold the whole nest, and if I find another one and no one is buying it, I guess I won’t be able to get any price.

What's more, I'm still running for my life. It would be best if I meet him on the way, but if not, I can't delay my escape.

Bai Tao's words instantly suppressed the restless thoughts of many villagers.

Many people could only look at the few people who were commended with envy, and secretly made up their minds that they must seize the opportunity next time.

At this moment, Bai Tao decided to sell the Spiny Tortoise in her mind. She felt the bamboo basket in her hand become lighter. Looking at the extra mall coins in her account, she couldn't suppress the smile.

It turns out that green mountains and clear waters are treasures!
I was still worrying about money yesterday, and today... well, I have to worry today too, after all, I have to support more than 200 people.

But with a sudden income of nearly 200,000 yuan, Bai Tao felt like he had become rich instantly, and he immediately started browsing high-end ingredients in the mall.

After reading several pages, the corners of my mouth that couldn't be suppressed just now instantly returned to their original position. Well... I'm still too poor. I need to work harder.

In ancient times, it was not easy for farmers to make money, so they did many things by themselves if possible, thus giving rise to carpenters, craftsmen, bricklayers and other craftsmen.

After a night of hard work by the village carpenters, Bai Tao had a brand new sedan to sit in.

The seats were changed from vines to a row of neat wood, with a backrest to lean on and armrests on both sides.

There is a small shed above the head to provide shade, and a footrest underneath.

The shed was made of hay woven with some broad-leaved trees tied together. It was sturdy, simple and practical, and it was safer and more comfortable to sit in. After drinking the porridge, everyone simply packed up and set off.

Bai Tao faced the two villagers who were carrying the sedan chair and looked very happy. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go for a walk first."

Just kidding. She just finished eating. If she sits on it and it sways all the way, what if she vomits?

She must never do such a shameful thing.

The job of carrying Bai Tao's sedan chair is a popular one and a great honor.

Not only the young and strong men in the village, but also the strong women were eager to try.

The villagers who carried the great aunt yesterday were reluctant to give up this job, but Taohua Village emphasized fairness, especially when it came to matters concerning the great aunt.

As the old saying goes, rain and dew should be shared equally. How can it be possible for only a few people to be close to me?

Bai Tiechui and Bai Dacheng were lucky enough to draw the short lot early in the morning. They were excitedly thinking that they must carry the sedan chair steadily so that the young lady could sit comfortably. It would be best if they were designated to carry the sedan chair in the future so that other villagers would envy them.

Upon hearing this, they were stunned. Just when they thought they had done something to displease the old lady, Bai Tao's next words put them at ease.

"I just ate. The sun hasn't come out yet, so let's go for a walk and stretch our legs." As he spoke, Bai Tao began to shake his arms and legs.

In fact, it would be warmer to walk in such weather, but Bai Tao knew herself well enough, so she did not reject the villagers' thoughtful respect and sincerity.

More than 200 people, young and old, were relying on their own legs, and they were walking on a mountain road, so you can imagine how fast they were.

We set out early in the morning at daybreak, and in the entire morning we had only walked eleven or twelve miles.

"Let's take a break." Although we had just taken a break more than half an hour ago, it was already noon.

In ancient times, people were accustomed to eating two meals, breakfast and dinner.

Of course, wealthy families would have extra food and snacks, so they would not go hungry.

Farmers will also eat an extra meal during the busy farming season. After all, it is hard work to do without food.

As soon as she got off the sedan chair, Bai Tao stretched and said, "I'm hungry. Make something to eat."

Bai Dashan was handing Bai Tao a water bag. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he quickly responded: "Hey, auntie, drink some water first. I'll ask someone to make you something to eat."

The ham sausage from before is still here, just perfect for my aunt to have as a snack.

Seeing Bai Dashan carefully taking out two sausages from the box, Bai Tao immediately said, "I don't want to eat sausages anymore."

"Oh, oh, okay." Bai Dashan responded, but was in trouble.

Just when he was calling on people to find some wild vegetables and asking Lao Heitou to see if he could find a way to trap a wild rabbit or pheasant, or at least get some bird eggs or something, Bai Tao spoke.

"Bring me my treasure box, no, it's my treasure bamboo basket." While speaking, Bai Tao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

It’s time for me to go shopping again. Shopping is indeed a happy thing.

Bai Tao smiled with her eyes curved in joy. She was so excited that she wanted to roll up her sleeves, but she quickly remembered every time she was blown by the cold wind, and quickly pulled her sleeves down.

The villagers didn't understand at first, but when they looked in the direction of her little hand, they immediately understood.
