Chapter 7 The first task is to make money

Li Yao felt like crying just thinking about it, but fortunately she could find joy in the midst of adversity.

The only good news at the moment is that after her initial trial and error, the entire house and workshop, whether upstairs or downstairs, have electricity, but there is no water or gas. Li Yaoguang doesn't know what the reason is, but it is better to have electricity than not. After all, she has enough clothes to wear, and she is afraid that she can no longer pay the electricity bill. What's the point of using a bicycle?

But if only she could go back to the modern era, back to the studio and home she had built with all her savings!
Unfortunately, she tried to open the door many times but couldn't. Li Yaoguang felt empty inside. She looked down at her shrunken hands and sighed heavily.

Alas! I don’t know if my body still exists in this system space after entering it.

Wait, does it exist?
Li Yaoguang thought of something and suddenly started running, heading straight for the small dubbing room where he had worked overtime before traveling through time. He pushed the door open and rushed in. Sure enough, he saw his familiar mobile phone on the coffee table next to the equipment in the glass soundproof operating room. Li Yaoguang grabbed it and silently said to himself, "I want to go back, I want to go back."

Not long after, she felt a sense of weightlessness and Li Yaoguang reappeared in the room where she had disappeared before. The Swiss roll she had just eaten was still placed on the edge of the kang beside her.

Li Yaoguang couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy. He turned on his mobile phone angrily, switched to the camera function, leaned it against the red lacquer cabinet at the end of the kang and aimed it at himself, then said to himself, I want to go in.

Under the record of her latest mobile phone that she spent more than 8,000 yuan to buy, her small figure disappeared in the blink of an eye under the camera, and she reappeared in the recording studio where she had just disappeared.

After about a minute, Li Yaoguang recited to himself again, and sure enough, the person returned home. Li Yaoguang hurriedly grabbed the phone to confirm, and Li Yaoguang smiled.

My useless golden finger is not completely useless. At most, it can be used to store things, to continue to develop my hobbies, and to let her hide in it to avoid disaster when I am in danger, right?
Well, one should not have too high expectations in life. If you aim too high, you may end up with nothing. Thank God for his mercy. Thank you.

Li Yaoguang was finally satisfied. He put away his phone and put it back into the space. He ate the remaining two Swiss rolls carefully and reverently, then returned to the space and poured a glass of milk from the refrigerator in the kitchen and drank it. Finally, thinking of his penniless self in reality and his aunt's unknown situation, Li Yaoguang decided to make money first, and wait until he got past Mrs. Zhou and entered the difficult corner door to find out about his aunt's situation before doing anything else.

But what should I use to exchange for money to feel safe?
Her daily life is not extravagant. The biggest reward for herself is this house and the huge dubbing room and recording room. In addition, since she started making money, she has rewarded herself with a piece of gold jewelry every birthday. There are five in total, all of which are 999 pure gold. They are either rings or bracelets and necklaces, and they are all quite valuable.

If she took these gold ornaments out to exchange for money, she was afraid that it would be wasted. Besides, the craftsmanship of this thing must be something that will never be available again in this era, and the gold quality could not reach 999% of that in later generations. It would be a pity to sell it, so she would rather not move it.

As for the rest, I don’t seem to have anything valuable. I can’t exchange my home appliances, pots and pans in the kitchen, or the medicines in the medicine box for money, right?
Not to mention that these things are eye-catching, she doesn't want to move unless she is in dire straits.

that……

While thinking about it, somehow, Li Yaoguang's eyes suddenly fell on the partition shelf at the door.

The things here are a mess, mostly unused tableware from takeouts;

Or it could be small items given away by merchants on Taobao or Duoduo Shopping;
Otherwise, there are some small miscellaneous items, such as garbage bags, umbrellas, tissues, key chains, and everything else; among them...

Li Yaoguang's sight finally fell on a three-layer transparent pull-out plastic box. In the third drawer, there were about twenty small makeup mirrors.

These are small gifts given by merchants when you buy clothes, socks and other items. Each of them is a round mirror no bigger than a palm, with flowers, plants or cartoon characters printed on the back. Although the mirror is small, it can show every detail clearly, which is a rare treasure in this era. Li Yaoguang decided that this is the one.

He chose the most retro-looking mirror from the twenty-seven mirrors, with a sunflower printed on the back. He casually opened a pack of disposable face towels beside the shelf, took one out and wrapped it around the mirror, then put it into the secret pocket on his chest. Li Yaoguang muttered to himself, "Go out," and he was outside.

After throwing the empty transparent box into the space, Li Yaoguang took the mirror and prepared to find a place to exchange it for some silver. However, before leaving home, Li Yaoguang first opened the vermilion lacquered wooden box at the end of the kang and put the only important things inside, the household registration documents belonging to this body, the copper fish talisman of the head of the household, and the registration card that he needed to show when he was questioned when walking outside. He put them all into the bedside table of his own master bedroom in the space and only placed the registration card in a conspicuous place where he could reach it and put it at any time with his mental power. Only then did Li Yaoguang go out.

This world is still a feudal slavery system. The dynasty is called Dajing. The current emperor is the ninth monarch of Dajing. He is forty-seven years old this year. The country is called Taikang. He has been in power for twenty-one years. He has four sons and countless concubines. The Dajing dynasty has lasted for one hundred and thirty-seven years.

According to the memory in her mind, Li Yaoguang vaguely knew that the imperial city faced north and south, was located on the central axis of Kyoto City, in the center of the inner city, and was guarded by the inner and outer cities. There has always been a saying in Kyoto that the east is rich and the west is noble, and the north is powerful and the south is poor. The Zhenwei Marquis Mansion is a powerful place, so it is located in the west of the inner city. Servants in the mansion, like her, who came to live with their relatives, naturally followed the master's family and lived in the west of the inner city.

This body has only been in Kyoto for half a year and had a serious illness before. He is young and has little experience. He doesn't really know the specific situation of Kyoto. It will be very troublesome to exchange the mirror in his hand for money.

Li Yaoguang, who didn't know much about this feudal dynasty, but as an authentic audio book host, decided to gamble on the plots of the novels he had recorded. He thought a place like a pawnshop should be able to help him.

So Li Yaoguang followed his memory and groped his way out of the gathering place of the servants of the marquis' mansion. After passing through a long alley, he walked on the busy streets of the district for about a quarter of an hour, and then walked onto West Street.

She planned to find a pawn shop on West Street to sell the goods. Firstly, the place was close, and it would be convenient for her to return home after she pawned the goods and got the money, and she would not be afraid of being robbed.
Secondly, this is the west side of the inner city. I think the owner of the pawnshop must be a powerful person. He would not bully an orphan girl like me who can appear in the inner city and come to the west side of the city to pawn her things, right?

Well, that's it.

Li Yaoguang was full of confidence, but when she actually stood on this bustling street, Li Yaoguang experienced firsthand what the real Along the River During the Qingming Festival was. This was a different feeling that could not be experienced even in modern times with the use of 3D and AI technology.

How should I put it, everything is so vivid.

Live hawking, live people, live streets, live smells, live everything.

Li Yaoguang took a deep breath and then stepped onto West Street. She looked around so busy that she could not keep up with the crowd, counting the archways and signs on both sides of the street.

Thank you for this precious treasure left to me, thank you for the careful upbringing of this body's parents. Although she is young, she is literate and can understand and speak Mandarin. So thank God, she is not illiterate, nor deaf and dumb, and can understand everything. It's great.

Li Yaoguang was rejoicing, and finally, a sign with a big word "Pawn" on it came into view.

Looking at the exquisite doorhead, the huge facade, and the elegant decoration, Li Yaoguang curled his lips into a smile, and his steps couldn't help but become three times lighter.

You are the one.
