Chapter 126: Chapter 111: The Bezoar Has an Owner, Sold for 1.49 Million!

Driver Xiao Bing drove Xu Li and Jiang Xue out to go hiking.

After watching the three of them drive away, Jiang Tao turned around and went back home.

Back in the living room, he took out the lottery ticket he had just bought for over 8000 and looked at it again.

[Note]: This lottery ticket is unique, cannot be duplicated, and otherwise you will lose the chance to win.

When he looked at the lottery ticket, a line of red text suddenly scrolled across Jiang Tao’s retina like an LED screen.

"Well..."

"Another chance to get rich quick, gone."

Jiang Tao shrugged helplessly and reluctantly gave up on the plan to play the lottery.

Returning to his bedroom, Jiang Tao opened the drawer of his bedside table.

He took out a wallet and placed the lottery ticket inside.

This wallet was the first birthday gift Xu Li gave him when they were young and dating, carrying a lot of sentimental value.

However, with mobile payments becoming more convenient and faster nowadays,

items like wallets are gradually "phased out."

On the street, if someone suddenly pulls a wallet out of their pocket, it feels quite out of place. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Life is truly full of surprises; it’s just that ordinary people lack the eyes to discover them."

Having put away the lottery ticket, Jiang Tao reflected on his recent experiences and couldn’t help but sigh.

Without Brother Tongzi’s hints, he wouldn’t have discovered any of those recent surprises either.

Brother Tongzi was essentially the "eyes" that helped him discover surprises.

Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Saturday, and still part of the government’s Spring Festival holiday.

The first lottery drawing after the New Year is on the ninth day, Thursday, with five days to go.

Right now, Jiang Tao doesn’t need to do anything, just quietly wait for the lottery draw.

"Xiao Tao."

Having just put away the lottery ticket, Jiang Tao heard someone outside calling his nickname; it sounded like his uncle had arrived.

Stepping out, he indeed saw his uncle standing in the yard, looking into the house.

Yesterday, Jiang Tao called his uncle, asking him to take a day off to help butcher an old cow at home.

"Uncle, you’re here! Come in and have a seat, you haven’t been to this new house before, have you?"

Jiang Tao greeted him with a smile, pulling half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offering one to his uncle.

"No need to go in, I’m all dirty and my clothes are smelly."

"Your wife has cleaned the house so well, I wouldn’t want to dirty it."

Tian Xiaoguang looked at the clean and bright floors and the meticulously arranged sofa inside.

As a scruffy bachelor, he truly felt embarrassed to go in.

"Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"You’re at my house; I wouldn’t mind at all. Come on in and sit for a while."

"No, no, I’ll just take a look from outside. Let’s get on with the real work."

Tian Xiaoguang ignored Jiang Tao’s invitation, turning and walking briskly toward the gate.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao stopped pressing and quickly caught up, locking the gate behind him.

As of now, the items in his small farmhouse courtyard were worth over a million.

Though theft was rare in the village, it was always good to be cautious.

Jiang Tao sped up to catch his uncle, and chatting as they walked, they arrived at his parents’ house.

His father had already brought the big yellow cow back into the yard as instructed by Jiang Tao.

The yard at the old house was spacious enough, comfortable enough to butcher a cow.

"Why do you need to do this at home when there’s so much space outside?"

"Never mind, never mind, don’t want to manage you guys anymore."

"I can’t stand such bloody scenes; you guys handle it, I’m going out for a break."

Tian Xiaomei said helplessly, turned, and left the house.

Left were Jiang Tao and Jiang Wen, plus Uncle and Old Sun, and Uncle Tianming from next door.

Five adult men versus one old yellow cow, more than enough manpower.

Tian Xiaoguang had been feeding cattle for over ten years at the cattle farm, and not only was he good at feeding but also at butchering.

He served as the main DPS, with Jiang Tao and the others assisting him.

The robust yellow cow, in front of the apex predators of the food chain, could only become food waiting to be slaughtered.

After they finished butchering, they used a chain hoist to hang the old yellow cow on a wooden frame they’d set up in advance.

Tian Xiaoguang opened the belly of the old yellow cow skillfully; the scene was decidedly not suitable for children and indeed a bit gory.

Jiang Tao nervously looked at the inside of the old yellow cow and saw a glowing spot flashing forth.

If he guessed correctly, that should be the natural bile stone!

But...

With so many people watching, how was he supposed to quietly get that bile stone without attracting attention?

Surely, the fewer people who knew about this, the better!

Just when Jiang Tao’s mind was racing for solutions, words suddenly appeared on his retina.

[Target item "Natural Bile Stone" will soon be exposed; would you like to spend 1000 yuan to acquire it quickly and handle it appropriately?]

"Eh?"

Seeing the sudden text on his retina, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but be delighted.

You can do that!

Brother Tongzi was impressive!

Despite the cost of 1000 yuan, Jiang Tao felt it was a reasonable charge.

First of all, he didn’t want more people to know about the bile stone.

Secondly, he wouldn’t know how to handle it either.

If a few grams were lost during the process of handling, it wouldn’t just be a matter of 1000 yuan!

By spending 1000 yuan now, he could acquire it quickly and have it processed for him.

This great deal was something Jiang Tao naturally wouldn’t refuse, and there was no hesitation needed!
