Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 44: Xue Ya’er’s Reputation ( 2 )
The moment the patrolling soldiers saw them, one of them quickly went to inform the commander. Soon after, two centurions under Gao Yan came out with their soldiers to help transport the grains to the granary.
While they were still moving the sacks from the carts, Bai Yunxiao said, "Send some grains to the cooks and let them prepare thick porridge for everyone."
"Yes, Commander," the soldiers cupped their fists and quickly went to carry out the order.
When the cooks received the grains, they couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the General was able to collect more grains. Otherwise, their provision would only be enough for another day.
With enough grains, the soldiers no longer had to eat the cold, hard buns. While the cooks were busy cooking the porridge, Fu Chen’an frowned when he grabbed one of the grain sacks.
Noticing that the weight and the shape of the sack were not right, he untied the sack. The moment he opened the hemp rope, he saw fatty meat and vegetables inside. He rummaged through the sack and found a bag of salt and a bag of sugar.
Since these grains were transported by his team, he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. So, he carried the sack and went to find Yan Shu.
Seeing him coming over with a sack, Yan Shu asked, "Fu Chen’an, what are you doing here?"
Fu Chen’an placed the sack down, cupped his fists, and reported, "Centurion Yan, I found this sack amidst the grains. Inside was meat, vegetables, salt, and sugar."
Hearing this, Yan Shu’s face darkened. Although this matter was Bai Yunxiao’s responsibility, if something happened, he couldn’t avoid the punishment.
"Weigh the grains and report to me as soon as possible," he said.
"Understood," Fu Chen’an cupped his fists and left in large strides.
Half an hour later, Fu Chen’an returned and said, "Centurion Yan, we have weighed the grains. The total amount moved to the granary is 4,800 dan of grains. 200 dan of grains had been sent to the kitchen."
Since the number was correct, Yan Shu thought for a moment and said, "You can leave. I will inform Battalion Commander Gao about this matter."
"Understood."
After sending Fu Chen’an away, Yan Shu carried the sack and went to report to his leader.
No one realized that this sack was actually wrongly taken from the warehouse. During the loading process, they were in a hurry.
Because of this, one of the bodyguards thought that this sack was grain and loaded it onto the cart. As for Bai Yunxiao, they were pressed by time, and the soldiers made a miscalculation.
When Gao Yan received the report, he thought that this fatty meat was prepared by the General’s wife and said, "Since Madam sent these things over, just use them."
Yan Shu didn’t know the exact items sent by the General’s wife and accepted this reason readily. The moment the kitchen received the fatty meat, they couldn’t help but praise the General’s wife for being considerate.
Their lard was running out, and this fatty meat came at the right time. It had been weeks since the soldiers had oil in the dishes.
Although there were only twenty slabs of fatty meat, there was also salt and sugar. With oil and salt, the soldiers would gain more strength.
While the soldiers were finally able to enjoy thick porridge sprinkled with lard residue, Yao Zhi finally woke up from her deep slumber.
After walking for a long time and being jolted by the carriage and cart, she woke up feeling sore all over. When she pushed herself up, she let out a hiss and said, "This body is too weak."
Feeling the throbbing pain in her calf, she took out the spiritual spring jade bottle from the system storage. Dragging her sore body, she poured a bowl of water and added a drop of spiritual spring into it.
After she stored the spiritual spring jade bottle, she drank the water in several gulps. Soon after, she felt warm energy spreading from her stomach to her entire body.
The next moment, the soreness and fatigue disappeared instantly. Finally feeling alive, she changed her clothes and combed her hair before she went to the backyard to wash up.
When she was done, Yao Zhi took out the steamed bun she made before from her system storage and had it for breakfast.
Fortunately, the system storage could keep the condition of the items stored inside the same as how they were stored. Otherwise, these steamed buns would have spoiled.
After a simple breakfast, Yao Zhi went to water her vegetable garden. Since she was staying at the outskirts of Zhu’an town yesterday, the vegetable garden was neglected.
Seeing that the sprouts looked a little bit wilted, she thought for a moment before she filled the wooden bucket with water from the system’s farmland and added a drop of spiritual spring water.
Then, she sprinkled it evenly on her vegetable garden before she watered it. With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, the sprouts regained their vigor.
If Yao Zhi had looked closely, she would have realized that they had grown two millimeters taller after being watered. Unfortunately, she did not pay attention and missed this discovery.
When she was done, she returned to her room and opened her system. Yesterday, she had placed a few items for auction, and it was time to check the results.
Seeing the result, Yao Zhi was delighted. Although the price did not differ too much from the starting price, it was much better than her expectations.
The red jade thumb ring was auctioned off for 7,800 points, the green emerald bracelet was auctioned off for 10,000 points, seven paintings were auctioned off for 65,000 points each, and five bolts of bright-colored silk were auctioned off for 30,000 points each.
The total of the auction was 622,800 points. Adding her current points, she now had almost 700,000 points.
