Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 227: Sudden Decision

Even though the group didn’t know the identity of the person who saved their Master, it didn’t lower their gratitude toward this mysterious person.

Since they had found the Heir, they quickly made a stretcher using branches and vines. After they placed the Heir on the stretcher, they used the old, oversized clothes to cover his body.

Before leaving, Physician Fu saw the waterskin and a package on the ground. Thinking that these were his Master’s belongings, he stored them in his medicine box.

When they left the mountain, they didn’t use the road that led to Yao Zhi’s wasteland. Instead, they went deeper into the mountain and left the territory under Lu Qianxuan’s jurisdiction before dawn.

At four o’clock in the morning, Yao Zhi was woken up by the cold. Before she opened her eyes, she let out a big sneeze, which startled Ye Ying and Bai Xue.

"Achoo!"

Thanks to that sneeze, her drowsiness disappeared instantly. Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes and her body. Thinking about her husband’s warm body temperature, she let out a sigh and said, "I miss him so much."

Today, the weather was colder than yesterday, so she wore thicker clothes. Since she still had to deliver the pelts to the warehouse, she opened the system’s shop.

Although wearing the body mask could block some colds, she still needed to wear winter clothes when she disguised herself as Lei Feng.

No one knew the background of this Lei Feng, besides the fact that he was the Heir of a very wealthy merchant family.

Since her family was a merchant family, it was normal for her to wear and use things unavailable in the Great Yan. So she didn’t have to limit her options.

She browsed the shop for a while before she bought two sets of winter clothes. While the style of the clothes was still in ancient style, the materials used were only available in modern times.

The clothes had several layers. The base layer was made of merino wool, the middle layer was made of down, and the outer layer was made of heavy wool, which was topped with a layer of cotton.

With four layers of warm materials, she didn’t even need a cloak. But thinking about walking without a cloak while others were wrapped up, she still bought a black cloak made of wool and layered with velvet on the outside.

There was black fur on the hood and neck area. The cloak was embroidered with silver auspicious cloud patterns, making it look luxurious and beautiful.

The clothes cost her 500 points each, and the cloak cost her 1,000 points.

When she finished buying the clothes and cloak, Yao Zhi went to do her morning routine.

To prevent the vegetables from dying from the cold, she added 5 drops of spiritual spring water into several buckets of water and used it to water the vegetables near the roots.

Then, she added 3 drops of spiritual spring water to her pets’ and the mount’s drinking water. This was to keep them from falling sick. As for herself, she added a drop of spiritual spring water into her milk.

After breakfast, she rode her donkey to Zhu’an Town. Thinking about the inconvenience of putting on a disguise in an abandoned house, Yao Zhi went to the broker’s office.

Since it was still early, the door of the office had just opened. She tied her donkey to a pillar outside before she walked in.

Seeing that it was her, the clerk’s eyes lit up. He was the man who sold the warehouse to her before.

Although he couldn’t see her face, the young man recognized her veiled hat and figure. "Young lady, welcome. Are you renting or buying a house?" He greeted her with a smile.

Yao Zhi nodded at him and asked, "Sir, do you have any houses for rent or sale?"

"There are several houses for sale and two houses for rent. Young lady, please take a look." The clerk opened the booklet and showed it to her.

Yao Zhi checked the information for a while before she saw a storefront with a backyard. There were three buildings in the backyard, a well, a kitchen, and an area of 50 square meters, which counted as a garden.

She planned to open a workshop using Lei Feng’s identity, but she still needed a place to sell her goods. This place was not too big and not too small for a shop.

After she considered the pros and cons, she finally asked, "Sir, how much is this storefront?"

"The owner is in need of money and is willing to sell it for 400 taels of silver."

Although the price was lower compared to the warehouse, the total area of this storefront was only 375 square meters. The price was a little bit too high.

Noticing her hesitation, the clerk said, "Young lady, this storefront is located in the market and was renovated five months ago. Besides the store area and the backyard, there is also an underground cellar. This cellar is big enough to store 200,000 jin of grain."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi’s eyes lit up. Having an underground cellar was good. She didn’t have to use one of the buildings as a warehouse.

"Sir, can you lower the price? My money is not enough."

When he heard this, the clerk thought for a moment. The minimum price the owner asked for was 290 taels of silver. It was common practice for the broker’s office to raise the price just in case the buyer wanted to haggle.

He showed a conflicted expression before he said, "I can only lower the price to 350 taels of silver."

Yao Zhi took out her purse and said, "Sir, I only have 322 taels of silver. Can you sell the storefront to me for 320 taels of silver?"

The clerk saw her silver ingots and the broken silver. It was indeed as she said. He was not so heartless as to take all of her silver. In the end, he agreed to sell it for 320 taels of silver, with all the administration fees borne by the broker’s office.
