Chapter 9 - Buying out the Market

My dear, are you going to bid? Wine bottles usually come in pairs. If you have a pair, I can offer you 500 million!"

Ye Mumu was in a heavy mood. She didn't want Zhan Chengyin to die at such a young age.

500 million is enough to feed 100,000 people.

But it must not be enough for 20,000 of them to defeat an army of 300,000 barbarians!

Ye Mumu gritted her teeth and took out the remaining wine bottle.

"I have two, 500 million is too little!"

When Mu Lao saw that she really had two, he was so happy that the frame of his reading glasses fell off.

He quickly picked up the wine bottle with shaking hands and looked at it with a magnifying glass.

His lips trembled with excitement, "Yes, yes, this is a pair of wine bottles that are perfectly preserved and in excellent condition!"

"How much do you offer?"

Ye Mumu said, "I want cash, and the price must be the highest."

Mu Lao's eyes widened, "You want 600 million?"

Ye Mumu nodded.

He hesitated!

Seeing this, Ye Mumu didn't say anything nonsense, "If the old gentleman can't afford it, I can go to the next door to ask!"

She stood up and wanted to put away the wine bottle.

Mu Lao hurriedly stopped her, "Wait, I really don't have so much cash, you wait half an hour, I'll ask someone to buy it together."

Ye Mumu sat down again.

If you can get cash, it is really worth waiting for half an hour.

600 million is not a small amount!

After a while, a man with gold-rimmed glasses and a briefcase came upstairs in a hurry.

Old Mu took a wine jar upstairs and ran it through a machine to determine the year.

Ye Mumu glanced at a provincial museum car parked at the door.

The two of them came downstairs after being upstairs for more than ten minutes.

Deputy Director Zhang, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked at Ye Mumu with an excited expression, "You have another wine jar?"

She took out the wine jar and put it on the table.

Deputy Director Zhang looked at it under the light, his eyes bursting with disbelief.

"It's wonderful. The two thousand year old Daqi Kingdom has such exquisite workmanship. Other countries of the same period still use bronze for wine jars, but Daqi uses gold. Its filigree and hollow inlay technology is hundreds of years ahead of other countries!"

"It's a pity that this country existed for too short a time. If Ningguan Hou Zhan Chengyin hadn't died so early, he would have led Daqi to destroy the other six countries, resist the northern barbarians, and go south to recover Guangdong and Guangxi."

"God is jealous of talents!"

Ye Mumu clenched the wine flask in her bag.

Can Zhan Chengyin change so much?

If he hadn't died early, wouldn't it have brought forward the great unification by two or three hundred years?

"Little girl, we want this wine jar, six hundred million, right?"

Ye Mumu nodded. "Can you pay in cash?"

Mu Lao said, "Yes!"

Hearing the notification sound of the mobile phone arriving, he checked the backend of the mobile bank and found that

all six hundred million had arrived.

When she was about to leave, Mu Lao and Deputy Director Zhang tried to keep her and wanted to talk about something.

She shook her head, "I'm very busy today, I have to go!"

Mu Lao did not give up and said, "If you still have objects from the Great Qi Kingdom, you give them to other antique dealers, they may not understand the Great Qi Kingdom, and they can't see its true value."

"But we know that history and can give a correct valuation."

Ye Mumu nodded, "Okay, I'll find you again."

Hearing this, Mu Lao happily stuffed her a business card, a famous historian and a national antique appraiser.

Ye Mumu waved her hand and drove away.

Mu Lao and Deputy Director Zhang watched her leave and fell into silence for a moment.

Mu Lao said, "I have a feeling that she has antiques from the Great Qi Kingdom, and there are quite a few of them."

Deputy Director Zhang nodded, "This wine jar is in perfect condition. It is not a local farmer's product, nor is it transported by water. It looks like it has been kept at home for a thousand years."

"But objects from two thousand years ago will oxidize no matter how well they are preserved. She has kept them as lifelike as new."

"So, she has a lot of things in her hands. You have to prepare enough money!"

Mu Lao said, "Looking at her clothes, she is not short of money. We got a bargain by taking this pair of wine jars!"

Ye Mumu drove to the vegetable market and found a large truck that could pull 30 tons.

She said she wanted to buy a batch of supplies and send them to the flood-stricken areas to show her love! She bought all the cabbages, Chinese cabbages, Shanghai greens, baby cabbages, white radishes, carrots, potatoes, corns, etc. in the vegetable market . When the vegetable vendors saw that she bought so much, they swarmed around her and said that they would sell them all to her at a few cents cheaper per pound! She bought out the vegetable market and booked two large trucks. Find someone to load the goods, give the warehouse address to the truck drivers, and ask them to take the goods to the warehouse.

The uncle who was watching the warehouse was watching the door all day.

After making arrangements, she went to the drugstore. She bought gauze, disinfectant alcohol, tweezers, clamps, scalpels, scissors, and sutures.

She bought needles, syringes, anti-inflammatory drugs, hemostatic drugs and other western medicines.

Yunnan Baiyao, traumatic injuries, various hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-growing Chinese patent medicines...

She bought out more than half of several Chinese herbal medicine stores.

The medicine was placed in her pickup truck, and the entire compartment and back seat were full.

Passing by a bookstore, she stopped the car and went in to buy thirty traditional and simplified Chinese radical structure tables.

Thirty copies of the Xinhua Dictionary.

She bought three sets of time-travel magic books: "Barefoot Doctor Manual", "Militia Military Training Manual", and "Friends of Military and Local Dual-use Talents". She

bought a total of thirty sets.

They were all simplified Chinese versions, and whether Zhan Chengyin could understand them was not within her consideration.

She saw The Art of War on the bookshelf and bought thirty sets.

After packing all the books, she went home.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when she got home!

It was time to deliver the rice.

She lay on the sofa, exhausted.

After resting for more than ten minutes, she ate bread, drank a bottle of water, and turned off the pump.

The water stopped flowing and there was not a drop of water in the water tank.

She wrote a piece of paper with a pen and sent it in.

"I bought medicine and some books, and I will send them over first."

"Find a dry room, I'm going to prepare to deliver the medicine."

"Prepare a large, vast open space in an hour. I bought sixty tons of vegetables."

She thought there was no response from the other side, but soon a piece of white paper said: "Okay!"

In five minutes, the other side should be ready.

She drove the pickup truck into the yard and parked at the door of the living room.

The cargo box was opened, and countless Chinese medicines fell out.

She dragged the vase to the door, patted the bottle, and delivered the medicine with her mind.

Wow!

All the medicines in the cargo box are gone.

She opened the car door, and the western medicines fell into the vase.

Finally, it was the books and dictionaries, which she put in the passenger seat.

She carried them out and threw them all on the vase.

The vase was completely sucked away!

After the car was emptied, she picked up the vase, put it on the passenger seat, tied it with a rope, and fastened her seat belt.

She drove the vase to the warehouse.

Zhan Chengyin waited for Ye Mumu's rice all day.

Yesterday afternoon, two hundred kilograms of meat, fifty packs of noodles, and a box of instant noodles were all given to the soldiers.

They ate while crying silently, and the atmosphere was depressing.

They thought the general took out the food from the bottom of the box to reward everyone.

In addition, they had just lost the battle.

Everyone thought it was the last meal before execution.

They will break out tomorrow.

It is almost impossible for 20,000 people to break through 300,000 barbarians.

Even if they risk their lives to break out, there is famine outside and they can't survive.

But this morning I heard that there was water!

After the steamed buns, steamed buns and steamed rolls were delivered to the military camp, one portion was given to every four people.

This time, everyone ate while crying!

But it was different from the despair and despair yesterday.

Everyone was happy to eat today!

Not only did they eat steamed buns, steamed buns and steamed meat buns, but they also had white porridge... Each person was given a bowl of white porridge, which was made from fine white rice.

Salt was also sprinkled on it.

That was pure white salt!

How long had they not eaten salt!

The food in the military camp suddenly became better without warning!

No need to dig wild vegetables and compete with the people for tree roots.

All the soldiers were in high spirits!

Everyone had hope of surviving!
