Chapter 63 Suddenly Craving Lamb

When Bai Hu Yaoyao left Liulichang, the entire alley was lined with flatbed trucks waiting to load goods.

Since Qibaozhai made a name for itself, the glass products it sells have become hot commodities.

These glass products are not only inexpensive but also exquisite. If they were sold anywhere, they would be a profitable business.

Not to mention the glass as well.

Everyone wants a bright and warm home, so glass has become a hot commodity.

Most of these flatbed trucks that come to haul goods are for transporting glass.

According to Zhou Heng, Uncle Zhou wasn't home; he had gone out to buy land and planned to expand the workshop several times over.

Liulichang is still too small, and the supply of goods cannot meet the demand.

If the workshop is too small, it will produce less glass, which will be detrimental to future supply.

She doesn't need to worry about the money coming in from Liulichang every day.

The white fox Yaoyao returned to the restaurant in a good mood.

The thought that she would earn more money in the future made her feel even better.

He took out the communication stone left by Mingyuan and used the Five Elements Technique to carve a black spider lily mark on it.

When Qibaozhai opened, only two communication stones were auctioned, both selling for 50,000 taels of silver.

Even if it can only be used twenty times and the transmission range is somewhat limited, people are still willing to buy it.

One of them was bought by Mr. Huo.

Shopkeeper Chen said that he had been inquiring about the sound transmission stone a lot these days.

She happened to have marked this batch of high-grade sound transmission stones; they were the kind of high-grade sound transmission stones that were not limited by range.

Send some more to Qibaozhai to sell; let's price each sound transmission stone at 100,000 taels of silver!
This is absolutely outrageous! Hundreds of times the profit!
After counting on my fingers and doing the math, I realized I was a heartless merchant; the profits were simply impossible to calculate.

Forget it! It's enough to know I make more money; keeping track of every penny is too tiring!

The white fox Yaoyao got excited just thinking about the money.

Using the Five Elements Technique to mark stones is particularly convenient; in the blink of an eye, hundreds of sound transmission stones will have a black spider lily mark on them.

Gululu.

As noon approached, her stomach started growling again.

She had already eaten all the food that Mingyuan had prepared for her in the space, so she had no choice but to cook for herself.

She didn't know when Mingyuan would have time to come back, but the food he cooked suited her taste better now.

She patted her stomach and suddenly craved mutton.

This Peach Blossom Town is located in the northwest, near the grasslands, and there are vendors selling sheep in its market.

The white fox Yaoyao smacked her lips; when she wanted something to eat, she couldn't wait a moment longer.

Touching her bulging belly, she looked like she was eight months pregnant even though she was only two months along.

"Little ones, are you craving mutton?"

Suddenly, two small bulges appeared on her belly in response.

The white fox Yaoyao smiled gently, "Okay! If you want to eat, we'll go buy it."

She put the cloak she had just taken off back on, covering herself up so that only her eyes were visible, closed the door, and went to the market.

There are stalls in the market that specialize in selling pork, and there are also stalls that sell mutton.

"Boss! I want two sheep."

When we arrived at the mutton stall, the owner was shivering from the cold as he stood guard over the mutton.

Seeing that it was the white fox Yaoyao, they quickly stood up to greet her, "Oh! It's Miss Yaoyao! Would you like two sheep today?"

Almost all the stall owners in the market know Bai Hu Yaoyao.

They had all delivered ingredients to her restaurant, and each time they bought quite a lot.

Such a God of Wealth naturally deserves more attention.

As the boss spoke, he led out two sheep, intending to slaughter them on the spot.

White Fox Yaoyao quickly stopped him, "Boss, just give me all the mutton from the meat stall, and can you sell me a few of these live sheep too?"

Buy a few sheep and raise them in your space. Slaughter one whenever you want to eat mutton.

The boss simply skipped the slaughtering and brought out all four remaining sheep from his house.

"Young lady, these are the only sheep I have left. Why don't you take them all? I'm not planning to keep this mutton stall open."

He slaughtered a sheep, but couldn't sell it for many days. Luckily, it was winter, so the meat froze and wouldn't spoil.

It won't be fresh if it's left out for too long.

People dislike mutton because of its gamey smell, and since it's more expensive than pork, very few people eat it.

Only restaurants would order mutton.

With business particularly tough this year and the Lunar New Year approaching, he's thinking of closing his stall and going home to prepare for the holiday.

White Fox Yaoyao glanced at the sheep shivering from the cold, "Then please send them all to my restaurant!"

It just so happens that it's time for the New Year's Eve dinner, so we're having mutton hot pot for everyone.

Cooking is difficult when there are many people, so hot pot is the easiest option.

The boss readily agreed, closed the door, and led a few sheep to the restaurant with the white fox Yaoyao.

The sheep were placed in a straw shed in the backyard of the restaurant, where it was warmer.

After settling the bill, the boss left, but before leaving, he told her to stay home and not run the restaurant for a while, and to keep to herself.

In the villages outside of Peach Blossom Town, many houses collapsed under the weight of the heavy snow, and there might be a wave of refugees. She should be careful.

The white fox Yaoyao indicated that she understood.

Anyway, her restaurant was always closed, only catering to demons. White Fox Yaoyao put the sheep into her spatial storage and went to the kitchen, intending to make boiled mutton.

Don't add too many seasonings when cooking mutton, otherwise it will taste bad and lose its original flavor.

Some medicinal herbs were added to the mutton, and the meat quickly became very tender. It didn't have a gamey smell; instead, it had a unique fragrance.

"This medicinal herb is indeed very effective."

No wonder people say you should eat mutton in winter and ginger in summer; the ancients were right.

The white fox Yaoyao was already drooling over the big pot of fragrant mutton.

They didn't even bother going to their room to eat; they just sat right there by the pot and started eating.

I first drank a bowl of mutton soup with some chopped green onions and cilantro. One sip warmed my heart and lungs.

The mutton melts in your mouth and has a unique aroma.

After wolfing down the food, I was finally full.

It seemed that the baby in her belly was also full, as it was very quiet and did not make any noise.

After eating, she didn't want to move. Looking at the unwashed kitchen, her obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in again.

But she didn't want to move.

"It seems the restaurant should hire two people to help me cook and clean."

Bai Chun and the other three were all guarding Qi Bao Zhai. As the manager and auctioneer of Qi Bao Zhai, Zi Mei was definitely unwilling to cook for her.

She didn't look like someone who could cook.

Her master was even more unreliable; all he did was drink, though he was good at fighting.

The eldest brother spends all his time guarding the treasure vault of Qibaozhai and painting there. He would rather guard those treasures than come and be her maid and cook for her.

The other two guards were both top-notch martial arts masters, and they remained hidden in the shadows, unable to move.

Sister Dali did a lot of work, and after her instruction, the food she cooked was barely edible.

Why not just have Sister Dali come here to help her cook and clean?

Anyway, she has nothing to do at the restaurant during the day, as long as she leaves before midnight.

Having made up her mind, Bai Hu Yaoyao decided to go to Qibaozhai in the afternoon.

After a wonderful nap in the space, I took the marked communication stone to Qibaozhai.

"Oh my! What a rare guest! Do you even know this is your own shop?"

As soon as I entered the gate of Qibaozhai, I heard Zi Mei's complaints.

Now, Qibaozhai is also warm and cozy, and the customers who are selecting items inside are sweating from the heat.

Zi Mei was dressed as if it were summer, with her thighs exposed.

As soon as Bai Hu Yaoyao entered the room, she took off her cloak and put it aside.

"Here I am, the communication stone you requested. I've marked it this time."

He took out a box from his pocket, which contained ten sound transmission stones.

Zi Mei's eyes lit up when she heard about the communication stone. Everyone working in Qibaozhai had a communication stone, but they were all reluctant to use it.

But a single sound transmission stone costs tens of thousands of taels of silver!

"Is this the mark of Fanlou? Did Master give you the token?" Zi Mei picked up the communication stone and looked at it.

They weren't too surprised to see the markings above; they already knew their master's identity.

When they learned that their master was going to take Bai Hu Yaoyao as his last disciple, none of them had any objections.

Junior Sister is a very mysterious person.

Take the rice and vegetables they eat, for example. Who wouldn't be overwhelmed by such good food in the dead of winter?
They felt honored to have such a mysterious junior sister.

The white fox Yaoyao nodded, "You gave it to me. You know who Master is? And yet you're still so poor?"

The entire Wanzong Sect was so poor they couldn't even afford to eat.

Zi Mei's lips twitched. "Doesn't this mean being low-key? From now on, whether we can even get food will depend entirely on our junior sister."

Those guys really don't know how to do business, otherwise her money-spending empire wouldn't be on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Okay! I can provide you with meals. Senior sister, where is your den of debauchery?"

The white fox Yaoyao was very curious about what kind of place the "Gold-Discarding Cave" was.

"The nearest one is in Yunzhou City. Luckily, I sent some grain, vegetables, and silver from you, otherwise those beauties and taverns would have starved to death."

Just then, someone finished buying something and was about to pay, so Zi Mei took the money.

Bai Hu Yaoyao's lips twitched. "There's a small restaurant in this den of extravagance?"
What kind of money pit did my senior sister run?
After the customers left, Zi Mei had Bai Xia guard the counter and collect payments, while she took Bai Hu Yao Yao to the living room on the third floor.

Upon reaching the third floor, Bai Hu Yaoyao took out another box of pearls. "Senior sister, we auctioned two Eastern pearls at the auction last time. Those Eastern pearls were too conspicuous. Let's put these smaller pearls on sale at Qibaozhai as well."

Zi Mei took one look at the box of pearls and immediately fell in love with it.

If you were to ask her what her biggest hobby is, it would be jewelry, especially pearl jewelry.

"These pearls of yours are so beautiful!"

Those two pearls from the East fetched an astronomical price of one million taels of silver each.

There is no pearl that big on the entire continent, not even in Fanlou.

She thought the two pearls were already rare treasures, but she never expected that this whole box of pearls was the real treasure.

These pearls are about the size of a little finger, each one is full and round, and each one is flawless. Most importantly, these pearls are blood red.

"Junior Sister, do you know how rare pearls are on this continent? I really admire your courage to auction those two huge Eastern pearls. Even the royal families of various countries can't produce a single one of those. And now you're putting up blood-red pearls to sell. Aren't you afraid that others will covet them?"

"Even white pearls are very rare. Only wealthy ladies can afford one or two pieces of pearl jewelry. Can't you bring out some normal items to sell?"

Zi Mei felt a sense of disappointment and frustration towards her junior sister.
