Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!

Chapter 315: Renovating The House ( 5 )

Yao Zhi only prepared water and food for her donkey, Xiao Lu. Usually, she added one drop of spiritual spring water to Xiao Lu’s drinking water.

Today, she added the spring water into the large water vat before using the mixed water to fill Xiao Lu’s drinking basin.

Since everyone was still sleeping, she filled up the water vats in the backyard and kitchen with the system’s river water.

Recalling that she still had one movable well in her system’s storage, she went to the front yard and replaced the well. Now, even without her filling the water vats, this well water was safe for consumption.

Not long after, her husband, the Ling squad, and Xi Yi woke up one after another. Everyone went to do their morning routine. When the sun rose on the eastern horizon, the workers arrived and started to work.

As for Yao Zhi and her husband, they drove the donkey cart and went to the mountain foothills. They tied the cart to a tree near the ponds before walking into the mountain forest.

With Fu Chen’an around, she didn’t have to worry about encountering wild animals. Before leaving, she had already put on her hidden crossbow. Even if they met a tiger or bear, she would be able to kill it.

She thought that the trip would be dangerous. Unexpectedly, they didn’t encounter any wild animals at all. So, their plans on raising livestock could only be delayed.

As they went deeper into the mountain, she found more and more rare medicinal herbs thanks to her system’s scanning feature.

With her spatial bracelet as a cover, she could plant everything directly in her system’s grassland without arousing her husband’s suspicions.

When it was noon, they found a flat area with a small river and took a rest. Fu Chen’an still had a lot of food in his spatial bag. He took out a big bun for his wife and one for himself.

Yao Zhi looked at the river and asked, "Husband, do you think there are shrimps in the river?"

"I don’t know. We can check after lunch," Fu Chen’an shook his head.

"Then let’s take a look later."

"Okay."

After lunch, they took a short nap and woke up feeling refreshed. Although the sun was strong, the mountain was full of lush trees, so the breeze was cool.

Yao Zhi squatted at the edge of the river and looked at the water. The water was clear, and she could see the riverbed clearly.

She thought that she would only find some fish or shrimp if she was lucky. But to her surprise, she saw triangle sail mussels. These mussels were freshwater mussels that produce pearls.

Her eyes lit up instantly. She pointed at the mussels and asked, "Husband, can you help me pick those up?"

Fu Chen’an saw the ugly, stone-like creatures in the river.

Although he didn’t know why his wife wanted them, as a good husband, he would fulfill all of her requests as long as he was able. So, he rolled up his pants and sleeves, took off his shoes, went into the river, and started picking up the mussels.

Yao Zhi didn’t know how to open the mussels without killing them, so she only pried open one mussel to see if there were pearls inside.

She only wanted to try her luck. Unexpectedly, there were indeed pearls inside the mussel. The pearls were large, with high luster and diverse colors. Besides white and pink pearls, there were also some purple pearls.

Even in the modern era, these pearls could be sold for a high price, let alone in this era where everything depends on nature.

After confirming that the mussels did produce pearls, she also joined her husband in picking them up.

To ensure that she didn’t destroy the habitat, she picked the large mussels and left the small ones. The large mussels were placed in the system’s lake.

Besides the large mussels, she took some medium-sized mussels back. These mussels would be raised in her ponds. This way, she would have an excuse if she took out pearls one day.

When they were done, they packed up and left the mountain.

It was already sunset when they reached the mountain foothills. Yao Zhi threw medium-sized mussels into one of the ponds before she opened the system’s shop and bought 500 lotus plants. Each plant cost her 5 points, totaling 2,500 points.

She put the lotus plants in her ponds and let them grow naturally. These plants would provide more oxygen for the fish and mussels.

When she was done, they drove the donkey cart back home. Under her busy schedule, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today was the day they agreed upon for the furniture shop owner to come and build the bathhouses and toilets. So, Yao Zhi woke up early and opened the system’s shop.

To ensure that the bathhouses and toilets would last longer, she bought high-quality wood from the shop, costing her a total of 50,000 points.

The bathhouses and toilets would be built on the border between the wasteland and the backyard. So, she placed all the wood in the backyard near the mud ovens.

Just after she finished, her husband woke up. They did their morning routine as usual, and the shop owner finally arrived at sunrise.

When Fu Chen’an opened the gate, he saw the shop owner arrive with a group of workers.

"These are craftsmen I hired to help me. Their wages will be paid by me," the shop owner said.

Since he didn’t have to pay extra wages, Fu Chen’an had no objection. He showed them the area where he wanted to build the bathhouses and toilets. Then, he showed them the wood they had prepared.

The moment the craftsmen saw the wood, they were amazed.

"What kind of wood is this? This quality is comparable to tribute wood."

"I have never seen this type of wood before. Is this a new type of wood?"
