My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 51: Buying A Warehouse
Chapter 51: Buying A Warehouse
The middle-aged woman sighed at Bai Hanyun’s words and explained, "It’s not that we don’t want to sell—it’s just that no one is interested. We have waited months, and you are the first person to ask about it."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up. Smiling, she asked, "Aunty, how about selling it to me? I plan to open a live broadcast headquarters here, so I need a warehouse to store goods."
The middle-aged woman looked at her with admiration when she heard this. "Young people these days really know how to make money. I tell you, ah—my son spends so much on online shopping that it’s giving me a headache."
Bai Hanyun listened to her complaints but didn’t comment. Opening a live broadcast headquarters was just an excuse to cover her huge purchase of goods.
After checking out the warehouse, Bai Hanyun nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Aunty, how much do you want to sell this warehouse for?"
The middle-aged woman smiled, "We urgently need money, so I will sell it at a low price to you at 300,000 yuan."
Afraid the price might seem too high, she added quickly, "Even though the location is remote, the building was only constructed two years ago. The surveillance cameras were installed just a few months ago. Miss Bai, for a 700-square-meter warehouse, this is a great deal."
Bai Hanyun had already checked local rental and selling prices earlier. The middle-aged woman was right—it was a good deal.
After a short moment of thought, Bai Hanyun said, "Alright. When can we sign the contract?"
When she said that, the middle-aged woman beamed and hurriedly replied, "I will call my husband right now to prepare it. Please wait a moment, Miss Bai."
"Alright."
The middle-aged woman then walked aside with a bright smile and made a call. Five minutes later, a small pickup truck pulled up in front of the warehouse.
The middle-aged woman waved at the driver and shouted, "Husband, hurry up!"
The pickup truck was parked beside Bai Hanyun’s car, and a man in his forties got out.
Approaching with a polite smile, he said, "Miss Bai, I’m the owner of this warehouse. You can read through the contract first. If everything is in order, we can sign and finalize the transfer."
Bai Hanyun nodded and read the contract carefully. When she was done, she said, "There’s no problem. We can sign it."
"Alright."
With that, both of them signed two copies of the selling and ownership transferring contract.
After Bai Hanyun transferred the payment, the owner handed over the key. "Miss Bai, here is the key. Thank you for buying the warehouse."
Bai Hanyun smiled and replied, "Thank you, Aunty and Uncle."
After saying their goodbyes, the couple left happily. Bai Hanyun then bought a new set of keys, changed the lock, and returned home.
When Bai Hanyun arrived home, Hua Yuyu still hadn’t returned, so she sent messages to Li Dagou, Tan Hao, and Shen Yi.
[I just bought a warehouse. This is the address. For future deliveries, please send them here.]
A few moments after she sent the messages, Li Dagou, Tan Hao, and Shen Yi replied.
Shen Yi: [Got it. Miss Bai, the weapons and armor will be ready in three days. Do you want me to send the arrows first?]
Li Dagou: [No problem, Miss Bai. We just restocked. If you need anything, feel free to contact me.]
Tan Hao: [Alright. I will deliver tomorrow’s vegetables directly to the warehouse.]
Bai Hanyun read the messages and replied to Shen Yi.
[Yes. Boss Shen, you can also send the weapons and armor that are already ready.]
A few seconds later, Shen Yi sent another message.
[Alright. I will arrange the delivery today. What time would Miss Bai like me to send them?]
Weapons and armor were different from food and medicine. If she wasn’t careful, the police uncles might invite her for tea at the station.
After considering the risk, Bai Hanyun replied: [Boss Shen, send them at midnight as usual. I don’t want to attract attention.]
[Got it.]
Two hours later, Hua Yuyu returned with a team of technicians to install the surveillance cameras. While they were working, Bai Hanyun brought the antique mirror into her bedroom and spent her time watching dramas.
Meanwhile, in Xiqiang City, the soldiers and citizens were stunned when a new announcement was posted in the barracks.
From now on, soldiers would receive three meals a day, which consisted of a bowl of steamed white rice, one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and a bowl of soup.
When the soldiers first heard the news, they couldn’t believe their ears. They thought that they could have a bowl of steamed rice because it was a reward from the Great General after winning the last battle.
However, who would have known that now they could actually eat three meals of rice a day?
As the soldiers crowded around the announcement board, one of them asked in disbelief, "Am I dreaming? Can we really eat three times a day? And the staple food is actually steamed rice, which even the nobles in the imperial capital cannot eat!"
Hearing this, his comrade pinched his arm, causing the soldier to yelp in pain.
"Ouch!"
As he glared at his comrade, the other soldier asked, "Does it hurt?"
Rubbing his arm, the soldier grumbled, "Of course it hurts!"
His comrade smirked and said, "Then you are not dreaming."
Most of the soldiers came from poor backgrounds and were used to eating only once a day. As long as there was something to eat—even just a coarse, hard bun—they were content.
Therefore, being able to eat steamed white rice three times a day was something they never dared to dream of. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Since the official notice was posted, many soldiers began deliberately walking past or loitering around the military kitchen. Whenever they saw staff transporting vegetables, rice, meat, and fruit from the warehouse, they stared longingly.
While the soldiers eagerly awaited lunch, Feng Xiyan finished his morning training and returned to his tent.
After wiping his body with a damp cloth and changing clothes, he lit three sticks of incense and prayed sincerely.
