Chapter 13 Budgeting
Use this to hold honey?
Isn’t it too wasteful?
Just when the villagers were shocked and confused, Baitao pushed the bucket forward casually with his foot: "These two are buckets, and this is the lid. Just put it on and cover it."
This casual look made everyone present stunned, and then they felt admiration and doubt in their hearts, bucket?
Grandma calls this a bucket?
Okay, it looks like a bucket, but isn’t the bucket made of wood?
But soon, the villagers also thought of the lunch boxes, water bladders, hot pots and other items they had never seen before.
It is indeed a bucket. My aunt is a very lucky person, so naturally the utensils she brought out are also extraordinary.
The old blackhead was also stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and took it with both hands respectfully: "Thank you, auntie."
My aunt is indeed a great aunt, and she doesn't look down on any valuable items.
Is this what scholars often say about what cannot be moved and what cannot be surrendered?
"Bring back more." Bai Tao warned in a sweet voice.
As for wild honey, even if the mall can't give you a good price, you can still keep it and eat it. Brush a layer of honey on it when grilling... Wow, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
"Hey, aunt, don't worry."
My aunt even used such precious things to hold honey. He couldn't let his aunt down and had to get more.
"By the way, grandma, you..." The old blackhead thought of something and started to speak, but stopped mid-sentence.
Facing Baitao's confused look, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, aunt, we will be back soon."
Let's wait until we get it back, otherwise it will be in vain if my aunt doesn't like it.
"Auntie, we will be careful." The old blackhead looked down at the bucket in his hand, which seemed as light as nothing, and said solemnly again.
They will definitely protect such a precious bucket.
"Okay, please pay attention to safety. If it's dangerous, forget it." Baitao didn't know what the old blackhead meant. She wanted to eat wild honey, but if there were too many bees, it would be too dangerous.
"Hey." The old blackhead agreed, quickly loaded up the roasted naan and left with the others.
After they had walked for a few minutes, Baitao patted her little head. Why did she forget to get them some bee-proof suits just now?
Bai Dashan was looking at the bamboo basket brought back by Lao Heitou and others. In it were five hares, two pheasants, and a nest of pheasant eggs.
He raised his head and was about to ask Baitao what he thought, when he saw her slap him in annoyance. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked: "Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Auntie, do you have a headache?" The cold wind was blowing all the way, and my aunt was worried about everyone's food, and she was afraid that she was tired.
"No, it's okay." Baitao thought to himself. Just now Lao Heitou and the others said that many bees were driven away and killed, so they should be no longer needed.
"What did you bring back?"
After Bai Dashan answered one by one, Baitao immediately went to the mall to check the price in his heart. There was no purchase information. There would be no price advantage if he sold it like this. Forget it, let's keep it.
"Bundle these game meats, add some things later, let's cook them together."
"Okay." Bai Dashan responded, raised his head and was about to shout, when he saw Bai Duoxi approaching with a full smile: "Village chief, hehe."
How many people in the village are eyeing his job, but they can't let others have the opportunity to take it away.
Bai Dashan's speechless mouth twitched: "...you are a dog."
After laughing and scolding, he pointed to the bamboo basket and said to Bai Duoxi: "Put it away, don't betray everyone's trust in you."
Bai Duoxi nodded heavily: "Auntie, don't worry." After a pause, she continued: "Village chief, my aunt has said that she can rest assured when I do things."
Bai Dashan looked at the unhidden pride on Bai Duoxi's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He felt his hands itching for no reason and wanted to hit him: "Get out!"
Bai Duoxi carried her things and left, while Bai Dashan asked uneasily, "Auntie, are you really not feeling uncomfortable at all?"
"No." Seeing the worry on his face, Baitao said again: "I'm really fine, I'm just sleepy and want to take a nap."
Children tend to get sleepy, especially after eating a full meal.
When Bai Dashan heard this, he quickly patted the fallen leaves on her sedan chair and said, "Grandma, please get some sleep."
Baitao sat drowsily on the sedan chair, leaning her head to bask in the sun. Her little head moved little by little, which made the villagers worried for a moment, fearing that her head would tilt and her chin would hit the armrest.
More than two hours later, the old blackheads came back.
Not only did they bring back two barrels of honey, they also brought back three orchids.
Knowing that the person was back safely, Baitao didn't care and closed his eyes again in confusion.
Baitao has no idea about the varieties of orchids, and the people in Taohua Village don't even know what orchids are called. They only know that they are wild flowers that grow in the mountains, but the mall understands.
‘Tip, Jade Rabbit Colorful Butterfly, wild, priced at 560,000 mall coins each. ’
Baitao was originally drowsy, but she immediately became energetic, and her half-lidded eyes suddenly opened. How much?
Astonished, she quickly clicked on the detailed explanation and quickly understood what was going on.
The Jade Rabbit Butterfly is one of the three most exotic flowers among orchids. In the world before Baitao traveled through time, a seedling once sold for hundreds of thousands.
If you put it this way, the price of 560,000 mall coins is just average.
When Baitao thought of this, she immediately suppressed her shock as she had never seen the world before, and ignored the mall's prompts.
Although there is no news of purchasing, the mall is not stupid. Since it has given this price, it means that the three orchids are very popular.
She is so poor and has to support more than 200 people, so she has to be careful about her budget.
Ignoring the "beep, beep, beep..." in the mall, Bai Tao took a spoon and dug some honey from the hive to eat: "Well, it's quite sweet."
When the old blackhead who was cleaning the hive heard this, he immediately wanted to cut off another piece: "Grandma, if you like, eat more."
"No, that's enough for me." Baitao waved her hands with a smile. The piece in her lunch box was bigger than her face, and she couldn't finish it in a while.
Two barrels of hives can squeeze out a lot of honey. Although Baitao doesn't plan to sell it, seeing so much honey and thinking about the price of three orchids made her feel bad.
After taking a few bites, Baitao glanced at the increasingly swollen faces of the old blackheads and others, and took out two things from his arms.
"Hey, please rub this medicine." The medicine in the mall is not cheap, a small tube costs 320 mall coins.
But no matter how expensive it is, it has to be used. If Lao Heitou and the others were not looking for honey, they would not be able to find these three Jade Rabbit Colorful Butterflies.
Jade Rabbit and Colorful Butterfly, even before time travel, Baitao had never seen it.
Those who have made great achievements must be willing to spend money. Only by giving up can you get something.
In the words of this time, is it a commendation? !
