Chapter 68

"This is for you. It may come in handy at critical moments."

Ever since getting the sleeve arrows, Mo Jiuye had grown deeply fond of this exquisite little weapon.

He looked deeply at He Zhiran. "Thank you."

This thing was simply a life-saver for Mo Jiuye now.

No one knew what troubles might lie ahead. Having a weapon in hand would at least allow him to cope for a while.

He Zhiran was worried Mo Jiuye would ask about the origins of her mini sleeve arrows. To avoid the topic, she simply rolled over with her back facing him.

"I\'m tired. Let\'s rest early."

Mo Jiuye did have such questions in mind, but he did not have the urge to get to the bottom of it. After all, this was not the first time he had seen He Zhiran use such advanced weapons...

He Zhiran really was tired. She had originally planned to check the sales in the online store, but she could no longer resist the sudden drowsiness and had to listen to her body\'s desire to visit the god of dreams.

...

Sure enough, as expected, before nightfall the next day, with the hard work of the women, all the wolf jerky was roasted.

Peng Wang immediately decided to leave some for everyone to eat and take the rest into the nearby town to exchange for money tomorrow morning.

He Zhiran was thinking that later she would discuss with Peng Wang and ask for permission to go into town with him tomorrow as well, in order to purchase more supplies.

But before she could even open her mouth, Peng Wang took the initiative to come over.

"Sister, if you and Brother Mo are willing tomorrow when going into town, you can come along."

He knew He Zhiran\'s family had given her quite a bit of silver when sending her off.

With silver in hand, purchasing more supplies was understandable.

"Sure, I\'ll go with you tomorrow and buy some supplies to bring back," He Zhiran responded with a smile. She had been hoping for this, and now it just fell right into her lap without even needing to ask.

Mo Jiuye also wanted to go into town with He Zhiran, but he worried that assassins from Beijing might choose this moment to attack, and the defenseless women back home would be in danger.

"I still have injuries, so I won\'t go along."

Peng Wang didn\'t think too much of it and assumed Mo Jiuye was telling the truth.

"Then it\'s decided. The town is quite far. We\'ll set off before dawn tomorrow."

After seeing Peng Wang off, lying in the tent, He Zhiran entered her space with her consciousness.

She wanted to check the sales figures of the store. It had been two days already. There should be some profit now, right?

With this thought, He Zhiran tapped open her phone screen. She saw that all the merchandise in the store had been sold out, and her account had been credited 4.25 million Yuan.

The pleasant surprise came so suddenly that she was somewhat overwhelmed.

To verify that this wasn\'t a dream, He Zhiran subconsciously pinched her own leg.

The pain reminded her that this was all real.

She had assumed that with such expensive antiques, selling a few items in a year would be good, but she did not expect that in just two days, all 19 items were sold out.

He Zhiran curiously clicked into the records, intending to check the sale times of the merchandise.

As it turned out, all the items in the store had been purchased by someone named "Little Collector", including that first silver hairpin sold on the opening day...

This explained one thing: on the first day Little Collector bought that lowest priced silver hairpin to first verify the authenticity of the merchandise.

After confirming that the silver hairpin was indeed an antique, Little Collector decided to invest heavily in purchasing the rest.

Not only that, Little Collector left reviews for all sold merchandise. The content was mostly that the prices were low and the items were definitely genuine, even asking the seller to add more new inventory.

This made He Zhiran very grateful. Her shop had just opened, and such reviews were helpful references for potential new customers.

Over 4 million was by no means a small amount for He Zhiran.

Although she did not yet know how to spend this money, who would complain about having too much money?

Moreover, her space contained many items taken from the imperial treasury. Although they looked valuable, to He Zhiran they were just taking up space.

Ordinary items were still okay - she could casually take them to a pawn shop to exchange for silver and have tangible cash in hand.

However, all these items came from the imperial treasury. Just showing them would surely reveal clues for people to investigate her and Mo Jiuye; that would end up being a pyrrhic victory.

Now things were perfect: she could leisurely list these antiques for sale on Taobao Mall without any risk. Not only would this free up some space in her medical room, she would also gain considerable income.

Although she didn\'t currently need this money, the road ahead was still long and who knew when she might have such needs.

If she really ended up not needing the money, she could also find a way to donate it to charity to help those in need.

In short, the successful merchandise sales were an enormously good thing for He Zhiran, no matter how she looked at it.

He Zhiran still understood the principle of striking while the iron was hot. She used her mind to select dozens more items from her space, took pictures, priced them, and uploaded them to the mall.

The fledgling female tycoon who now possessed over 4 million Yuan finally fell asleep contentedly after three days.

The next day, before dawn even broke, He Zhiran got up as promised and set off for the town with Peng Wang and another official.

After being made into jerky, the wolf meat did not take up much space. All that could be seen piled high like a small mountain on the wooden cart were wolf hides.

The wolf hides were piled so high that the official pushing the cart could not even see the road. Peng Wang had no choice but to walk in front to lead the way.

For ease of travel, Peng Wang and the official had found some ordinary peasant clothes from somewhere and put them on.

Seen from afar, the three of them looked just like ordinary country hunters going into town to sell their game.

Finally, a little after morning on the hour of Chen, they arrived at Pingyuan County.

Perhaps due to its large population, it looked slightly livelier than Yunlai County.

The important purpose of this trip was to sell the wolf hides and jerky. Peng Wang directly led them to the only fur shop here.

After examining the wolf hides, the shopkeeper did indeed offer one tael of silver per hide as Peng Wang had said.

Just as Peng Wang was about to readily agree, He Zhiran stepped forward.

"Shopkeeper, these hides have been processed and dried. How can you offer the same price as for whole wolves brought in?"

The shopkeeper saw that the speaker was a young woman and simply dismissed her words outright.

"Little lady doesn\'t understand the business. Hides are worth the least this season. I\'m offering one tael of silver per hide because they\'ve been processed."

Upon hearing this, He Zhiran calmly asked, "So by the shopkeeper\'s words, when are hides worth more money?"
