Chapter 71

The next day, Ji Jiu took Duan Yang to walk on the road that they had not gone on yesterday. Duan Yang led them to the side of the country's auction house. In this border city, his grandson's auction house had been established for a long time. Moreover, items from other provinces were often smuggled out for auction. Ji. Jiu knew that the old man had taken her to the auction house, so the woman who wanted to bid on red reishi mushrooms asked him.

"Grandfather, If I want to auction off one of the red reishi mushrooms, will I be able to get one?" Ji Jiu looked at the old man expectantly. She had already spent too much money these days. She needed to have more money with her.

"Hmm, do you still have red reishi mushrooms, Ji Jiu?" Fortunately, Duan Yang and Ji Ji walked and talked in low voices. The others who were browsing the shops behind them didn't pay attention to what they said.

"There is one more flower. I brought it with me. At first I thought I would sell it in exchange for money to use in the future. But when I found out that there was an auction house So I want to try and put it up for auction."

"Um, then wait for me to ask Long Zhu first."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Ji Jiu responded with a hopeful smile. She wished she had sat down and watched the auction before coming. I didn't think there would really be an auction house here.

 Duan Yang led everyone into the auction house. He let the others freely browse the auction house. As for him, he took Ji Jiu to talk with Long Zhu in the living room. Long Zhu knew who the old man in front of him was and didn't dare to neglect his manners. He saluted General Duan with full ceremony. Upon hearing that he wanted to auction off a rare red reishi mushroom, he hurriedly agreed. Because tomorrow there would be an auction that had been previously announced. Normally, the auction house here would open the auction. Twice a month The big auction takes place once a year. There will be many valuable items kept in those years to be auctioned off.

 Ji Jiu listened to Long Zhu and smiled happily. She didn't care about the difference that the auction house asked for by 2. As for the auction price, it doesn't matter how much money she gets. She thought that it couldn't be less than five thousand taels, because even last time that guard had given her five thousand taels.

 Ji Jiu promised to bring red reishi mushrooms to General Duan before leaving today. She didn't want her people to be suspicious. So she could only leave the old man to hold the auction on her behalf. But tomorrow she can come sit and watch the auction with him.

 When we finished discussing business. Long Zhu watched Ji Jiu talk with the old master. He knew that she was probably General Duan's most important person, so he respectfully guided her through the many items in the auction house.

 Ji Jiu looked at the many strange items in the auction house. Each one was more valuable than the items sold at the shops outside. Unfortunately, she was not rich enough to be able to purchase and collect them. She doesn't have a career of her own yet. Therefore, she did not dare to spend more than her means. Waiting for her to find a way to make a living first, she would slowly collect these things for future generations, no matter what her future holds. But her things will definitely be taken care of by Uncle Kang and Aunt Qiao's family. She trusts these two the most. As for her four brothers, she also thinks that they won't leave.

 Ji Jiu's people saw the price of each item and could only sweat. Why are they so expensive? Even small gold bracelets cost nearly a thousand taels each. At first, they thought of pooling their money together to buy Ji Jiu a New Year's present. But once they knew the price, they didn't dare speak again. In the evening, however, they had to go pick up the jade token for Ji Jiu. They will find cheaper products from that store. How can they do this when they only get a small salary and bonus? Only Aunt Qiao had more than 20 in savings. Only the gourd will be the main dealer.

 Ji Jiu, who did not know her people's thoughts, teased them that if they wanted anything or not, she would buy it for them. But everyone shook their heads rapidly. Even if they really wanted to buy it, they wouldn't dare disturb their young lady again. The items she gave them from the jewelry store were already very valuable.

 Ji Jiu saw their expressions and couldn't help but laugh. She thought they already knew the price, so they looked so frightened. General Duan had a guard whisper to her about how her people wanted to give Ji a New Year's gift. Jewel He just realized that he had forgotten as well. Because he was too busy thinking about her hairpin, he completely forgot.

 Since her people wanted that bracelet. He will buy it for you. Consider it a New Year's gift to her. General Duan immediately called Long Zhu to come in and give orders. Long Zhu knew every item in this store. General Tuan can take anything. He nodded and said that he would only take it to the general's residence in the evening.

 As noon approached, they found a nearby restaurant to sit and eat like yesterday. In the afternoon, Ji Jiu wanted to check out some of the animals for sale. In case she found some mammals that she could use to nourish her body. General Tuan heard this and thought of the milk cows in the North. Unfortunately, he couldn't get one for her right now. General Duan accepted her request to take her to the animal market on the other side of the border city. After eating, Ji Jiu smiled and thanked the old man for always granting her request. The longer you stay with the old man, Ji Jiu was even more reminded of the times her parents had pampered her as a child. Now, no matter how sorry she felt, she probably couldn't go back to those days again.

 At the border town animal market Mostly there are only goats that have some milk. The price of goats is not very expensive. Because people didn't like to eat them, Ji Jiu decided to buy two almost-adult male and female goats. She didn't want the female goat to be lonely, so she bought it like this. If a female goat has children She will also be able to milk and eat.

 Ji Jiu left the animal market with two goats that her men were leading following at a distance. Luckily, these two goats were very tame and there was no problem with their return trip to the inn. Ji Wenting left the goat with the innkeeper. The day they return, they will take it back with them.

Wow!

 General Duan first took the goat to take care of Ji Jiu before she returned, but Ji Jiu didn't want to be indebted to him so she gently refused. The old man had already helped her with a lot of matters in the auction house; would she dare bother him with this little matter again?

 General Duan and the guards then returned to the general. He felt sorry for her who had to take care of such minor matters all by herself. Even though there were people who could help her, she never once asked. Ji Jiu left the Red Reishi Mushroom with General Duan before sending them out of the inn.
