Chapter 9 Then Be Generous

The bamboo basket that contained the thorny mountain tortoise was hung behind the sedan chair. Bai Tao was talking about this bamboo basket.

A bamboo basket of treasures?

Everyone couldn't help laughing and felt extremely proud of the name Bai Tao.

Although our aunt is young, she is very smart. Other people at her age can't even wipe the snot off their faces, let alone come up with such a cultured and interesting name.

Our aunt is so awesome!
Seeing the villagers' faces full of approval, Bai Tao couldn't help but feel proud. I am so smart. I can use the bamboo basket as a medium to get things so I don't have to run around looking for corners.

Anyway, the villagers also knew that she got the things, so how she got them was not important!
"Auntie, this, this..." Bai Dashan quickly brought the bamboo basket over, but the expression on his face was indescribable.

Are you planning to eat mountain turtle?
"Auntie, do you really want to eat this?" Bai Dashan hesitated, "How about asking Old Blackhead to bring some people to get some bird eggs and pheasant eggs?"

"Sure, why not? Go ahead." Bai Tao took the bamboo basket and said casually without noticing his expression, "By the way, not only bird eggs and pheasant eggs, but anything else is fine."

She muttered, "The quality is not good, so we have to make up for it with quantity." Every bit of saving is a bit of saving.

"Hey, hey."

Bai Dashan didn’t understand what quality was, but he understood it when he heard about quantity.

Soon, Old Blackhead took his bow and arrow and hunting knife and led a few people into the nearby woods.

Lao Heitou is an old hunter. Whenever he goes out, he always brings a bow and arrow and a hunting knife.

Although he was escaping in a hurry this time and had no time to think about anything else, he still picked up the things he often used to hunt in the mountains.

The villagers worked hard, facing the loess and with their backs to the sky. However, after traveling for a whole morning, even Bai Tao, who had not walked much, was hungry, let alone the others.

Bai Tao originally planned to take out some rice, but then she changed her mind and realized that it would be too much trouble to cook enough food for more than 200 people with just two pots of water.

Forget it, let’s just buy something simple.

Enter ten mall coins, click search, and see what is displayed. Bai Tao glances at the villagers who have been busy with their work without even taking a break, and a trace of guilt flashes across her heart.

By the way, we've earned more than 189,000 today. Shouldn't we be more generous?
Thinking of this, Bai Tao re-entered the search price, twenty mall coins.

Twenty mall coins is a lot, Bai Tao muttered to himself, there are more than two hundred people.

As the old saying goes, if you have enough food to eat and enough clothes to wear, you will be poor, but if you don’t plan well, you will be poor.

If you want to eat enough food and get nutrition, eggs are a must.

One egg costs one mall coin, and there is a 40% discount for group purchases in large quantities. Bai Tao bought 800 eggs without hesitation.

A person can eat no more than three eggs a day, but one egg a day is enough for children.

Of course, it’s okay for adults to eat four a day occasionally, as Bai Tao has done before.

If you don't have a suitable pot, then buy some large naan and roast them over the fire. It is convenient and filling. It is perfect to just tear off a piece and eat a few bites when you are in a hurry and don't have time.

A 30-centimeter-long sesame and egg baked naan costs six mall coins each, and large quantities are discounted. Bai Tao thought about it and decided to buy 300.

As soon as I entered the quantity, I saw the words "Group Buying" scrolling next to it.

Buy 500 or more and get a 50% discount.

A 50% discount means three mall coins for one, which is a good deal. Bai Tao increased the quantity to 500 without saying a word.

The baked naan cost 1,500 mall coins, and the eggs cost 480 mall coins.

It seemed easy to choke if eaten like this, so Bai Tao looked around again and spent thirty mall coins to buy ten bags of dried seaweed.

I happened to have some eggs, so I could make some seaweed egg drop soup.

Hey, this side dish looks delicious. I want to buy it... No, no, I have already spent 2,010 mall coins.

Thinking about how to spend money wisely and the bargains she made yesterday, Bai Tao finally closed the shopping mall page. If she hadn't been thinking about the discounted items she saw yesterday, she would have probably bought several more.

Alas, there are so many rich people in the world, why isn’t there one more like me!

Bai Tao didn't know that when she was buying things, the busy villagers didn't miss her little expression.

She rested her elbows on the bamboo basket, her little face resting on her hands, the expression on her face extremely rich.

Sometimes he frowned with a serious expression as if he was thinking about something important, and sometimes his brows relaxed and the corners of his mouth raised, as if he had gained some advantage, and his eyes were curved with smiles.

She is already very cute, with a pair of sparkling eyes that roll around. Her cute and soft expressions, and her eyes that curve into smiles from time to time, make the villagers, who have already added countless filters to her, even more cute.

Look, look how smart and cute our aunt is.

Those who say our aunt is stupid, they are the fools, the biggest fools!

There is no one cuter, prettier, more powerful, or smarter than our aunt...

"Auntie, please give me the turtle and I will go and take care of it for you."

Bai Tao had just finished shopping when she heard this. She looked up and said in surprise: "What do you want my turtle for?"

Want a turtle?

What turtle?

The turtles have already been sold.

It’s gone, I can’t find it back!

Why do you have to take something back after giving it to someone else?

Bai Duoxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and explained softly, "Auntie, aren't you planning to eat the turtle? I have to clean it up and put it in the pot."

"Eat turtle? Me?" Bai Tao shook her head fiercely: "Of course not."

What kind of meat can there be from a thorny turtle? Is there anything delicious about it?

Soon, Bai Tao understood what was going on. The corners of her mouth twitched. No wonder Bai Dashan's expression was so strange just now.

“I don’t eat turtle.”

"I'll buy it..." Bai Tao swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and changed her tone, saying, "There are only two mouthfuls of meat, not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth, what's there to eat."

Grandma, you don't plan to eat turtle?

Bai Duoxi was stunned for a moment. Then why not kill the turtle?

Well, after all, my aunt was still a baby, and that was the time when she liked to raise these little things.

"Yes, you're here at the right time." Bai Tao waved her hand at him, motioning Bai Duoxi to come closer.

Bai Duoxi has some talent for cooking. With the same ingredients, his dishes are always more delicious than others. He also likes to put some thought into the food.

The wild vegetables and fruits found by the villagers were handed over to him for safekeeping and would be distributed after use.

Even the ham sausage that Bai Tao had taken out earlier was asked to be kept by Bai Duoxi after Bai Dashan asked her opinion.

Bai Duoxi obediently squatted and took a few small steps closer, calling out, "Auntie."

"I'll give you a task." Bai Tao said as she took something out of the bamboo basket.

"You are a good cook. Boil the eggs and share them with everyone. Three for each adult and one for each child."
