Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051 Visit of the Turtles
Bai Sasa brought them out, gave a general tour of the kitchen in the courtyard, and then prepared to leave.
Everyone looked at the spotless and brand-new kitchen, thinking to themselves: it seems this Immortal Mansion, despite its grand and imposing exterior, only excels in luxurious appearances. The kitchen is bright and clean without a hint of smoke or fire—food might be a real issue here.
Luckily, the surrounding forest is vast. They exchanged glances, planning to make good use of their skills and go hunting in the forest for food later.
Bai Sasa, unaware of their thoughts, simply led them outside, and before long, they arrived at a quiet street.
It turned out to be a street lined with shops, but only a sparse few had signboards—those being a dical clinic, a tool shop, and a pawnshop. The rest were empty buildings.
???
The County Magistrate, who had been a governnt official for decades, imdiately recognized the purpose of this street. He stared in stunned silence, speechless for a mont.
Bai Sasa diligently explained, “This is the comrcial street. However, currently, only Eldest Sister has opened a pawnshop, Mr. Shan Hai runs the tool shop, and Mr. Dan He operates the dical clinic. The rest of the places are vacant. If anyone is interested, they’re welco to open shops here. But for now, everything operates on a bartering system—no Silver Coin transactions.”
Especially Eldest Sister’s pawnshop. She enjoys collecting flowers and plants to reward the children with honey or fruit.
For the past half month, Eldest Sister has been away, and the Fire-Swallowing Tribe’s children have been eagerly waiting for her return.
Of course, in her absence, Mr. Dan He’s dical clinic has beco the most lively spot—not because people were sick, but because the children brought herbs to him. Every ti, he would give them hand-knitted toys in exchange.
Yuwen Luanfei’s eyes lit up. What if he opened a shop here too?
He could gather Heaven and Earth Treasures, sell them outside when possible, and use the Silver he earned to provide for the parents, wives, and children of his soldiers.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Luanfei stood straighter. Yet, he wasn’t the only one with this idea. While everyone was fantasizing about the future, the Useless Son suddenly muttered, “Don’t forget there’s nothing in the kitchen. How can you open a shop when you can’t even eat a proper al?”
“!” The Useless Son’s words jolted everyone awake.
Right, before starting a business, they still needed to solve the food problem here first.
“?” Bai Sasa felt a little confused, sensing that they might have misunderstood sothing.
However, since they remained tactfully silent, Bai Sasa did not pursue the matter further. Instead, she continued guiding the group forward, soon leading them through this empty marketplace to the workshops behind it.
When they reached the workshops, everyone froze once again.
It turned out that the weaving workshop supervised by Wu Nuan had also been relocated from the school classroom to this area. Now, besides the rice processing plant, the large tool room, and the agricultural product processing factory, a weaving workshop and tailoring workshop had been added.
“At the mont, these workshops are all functioning normally. However, everyone cos here only in the afternoons and evenings; the mornings are reserved for studying at the school.”
The group didn’t think much about it, assuming Bai Sasa ant the children nearby.
They knew about the school buildings constructed outside—after all, hadn’t the adults just gone to the school earlier?
Speaking of which, if the children were here, then why were the adults going to the school?
The group scratched their heads, unable to figure it out. Uncle Master stroked his beard and murmured, “Don’t assu that the Teacher only teaches classes. He also grades papers, organizes teaching materials, designs personalized academic plans, and so forth—all of this requires ti.”
