~6 min read 1,200 words

【Ding, a 1586 Ming dynasty moon-door-style canopy bed made of huanghuali wood, crafted from huanghuali, has high collection value.】

【Ding, a 1535 Ming dynasty three-legged round incense stand made of huanghuali wood, crafted from huanghuali, has high collection value.】

Made a fortune!

On the first day, I already snagged three treasures.

Sure enough, this era's trust shop has plenty of good stuff.

From now on, when I have free time, I should browse more.

"How is it?" Guan Yushan sat on the canopy bed, looking at Lin Shengli standing in front of the incense stand, and asked.

"Master, I also think they're all from the Ming dynasty, and all made of huanghuali."

"Hmm, you can tell I'm no longer surprised; you really have talent, you grasp things instantly, you're a genius."

"I'm asking whether you like it or not."

"Of course I like it."

"Alright, it seems you really like antique items."

"With such talent, Master taking you as a disciple also fulfills a wish of mine."

"Master will definitely teach you everything."

"Thank you, Master."

The canopy bed, incense stand, and Luohan bed together cost three hundred dollars.

Yi Zhonghai hurried to pay the money.

The manager arranged a vehicle for delivery.

Yi Zhonghai went with the vehicle, while Lin Shengli rode his bicycle, bringing Guan Yushan, leisurely cycling to the siheyuan while asking Guan Yushan for advice.

Along the way, he also gained many appraisal points.

Back at the siheyuan, Yi Zhonghai already had people help move the furniture inside.

Sitting on the Luohan bed, he summoned the system panel.

【Host: Lin Shengli】

【Age: 21】

【Current world: a world where film and TV dramas merge.】

【Skills: Intermediate martial arts 11/1000, Thousand Cups No Drunk 220/1000, Intermediate repair 26/1000, Advanced appraisal 5660/.】

【Mechanical skills】

【Fitter: Advanced, 2685/】

【Forger: Advanced, 1656/】

【Welder: Advanced, 630/】

【Heat treatment: Advanced, 210/】

【Items: Portable space (cubic meters)】

【Treasure chest: 100 eggs, 100 watermelons, 100 catties of cherries, Hungarian wool pig (slaughtered) x2 and Xiaorizi Matsusaka beef (slaughtered) x2, original flavor erguotou (250 mL) *99, top-grade rouge rice 200 catties.】

【Note: Skills are divided into five levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, supreme, and divine. Since the host has mastered too many mechanical skills, only those at advanced level or above are listed here.】

Lin Shengli, recalling the novel he saw in his previous life, moved his thoughts...

The next second.

Before his eyes, darkness then light...

He appeared in a huge room.

"Cubic meters, judging by this, the height should be about 10 meters, and the length and width each about 100 meters."

"Valuable things at home, especially the treasures I've found, should be placed here."

"This siheyuan might not just have one 'Thief Saint'."

After looking around, he muttered to himself, then immediately moved his thoughts again.

All the items in the treasure chest appeared before his eyes.

"Tsk tsk, this watermelon must weigh at least twenty to thirty catties, right?"

"And these big red cherries..."

Muttering, Lin Shengli bent down, picked up a few cherries in his hand, wiped them, and put one in his mouth.

"Hmm, the taste is not bad, similar to the cherries I've eaten in later times."

After eating a few cherries, looking at the Hungarian wool pig meat, Xiaorizi Matsusaka beef, and top-grade rouge rice, he moved his thoughts and left the space.

He planned to go to the nearby market to buy some daily necessities and kitchenware.

Come back and learn to cook.

Possessing the 【Heaven rewards diligence system】, not studying it would be a huge loss.

Especially a fruit knife, must buy.

He really wants to try the watermelon now, but unfortunately he has no knife.

It's been over two months since he transmigrated.

He has never eaten fruit.

Back in the northeast, he had hardly ever smelled meat.

Just as he stepped out of his gate, Yan Bu Gui happened to come out of his house.

"Yo, Shengli, you're heading out?"

"Yeah, going to buy some stuff, what are you up to, San Da Ye?"

"Just going out for a stroll."

Yan Bu Gui said, walking up to Lin Shengli, smiling broadly.

"You want to buy pots, pans, bowls, and ladles, right?"

"How does San Da Ye know?"

"Just now your uncle had my son help move the furniture."

"I helped too; I took a look, and your room basically has nothing."

"If you're going to live here, you'll need pots, pans, bowls, ladles, a washing tub, and small stools and chairs—you'll probably need to buy quite a few."

"This Lao Yi really, why isn't he giving you any help at all?"

"Oh, my uncle means I don't need to cook; I can just go to his place when it's mealtime."

"But I think I should still buy some."

"Sometimes, if I'm hungry in the middle of the night, I can just cook a bowl of noodles, right?"

"Exactly, exactly, or San Da Ye could go buy them for you."

"San Da Ye is idle anyway, so he might as well be idle."

"You just arrived and aren't familiar yet, right?"

"San Da Ye is really eager to help."

"Eager to help?"

"No gain, no early rise."

"That's exactly the kind of person you are."

"Stingy, loves to take advantage, and loves to scheme."

"Having a god's-eye view, Lin Shengli naturally understands Yan Bu Gui well."

"However."

"He also knows Yan Bu Gui is not an utterly wicked person."

"On the contrary."

"In this beast-filled siheyuan, compared to those beasts, he's considered decent."

"He's just a bit stingy, just a bit fond of scheming, just a bit fond of taking small advantages."

"That's all."

"As long as you give him a little advantage, he's actually an ideal person to order around."

"San Da Ye, this is too much trouble for you."

"I really can't take on that."

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine."

"I am the Third Master of this courtyard, the Dinghai Shenzhen of the front court."

"Helping new residents move into the front courtyard is something I should do; it's my duty."

"Besides."

"You're a young person; how would you know how to buy those things?"

"Just relax; leave it to me, daily necessities, kitchen supplies—I'll definitely get them sorted for you."

"Yan Bu Gui had already made up his mind."

"Yi Zhonghai is too generous."

"Just now, while helping move furniture, Yi Zhonghai even gave peanuts and melon seeds."

"As long as he helps Lin Shengli, even if Lin Shengli doesn't give him any benefits, he'll find a way to remind Yi Zhonghai."

"By then, Yi Zhonghai will definitely not lack his benefits."

"Oh my, San Da Ye is really enthusiastic."

"Having someone like you as the leader of the front courtyard is truly a blessing for its residents."

"Alright then, respect is less important than obedience."

"Lin Shengli said, pulling out a stack of tickets and a stack of big unity from his pants pocket."

"Yan Bu Gui looked, and his eyes lit up involuntarily."

"No wonder he's an engineer—he pulls out that many tickets and money at once."

"This is a real thigh!"

"From now on, we'll have to hold on tight."

"Hopefully he can be as generous as Yi Zhonghai."
