Chapter 17: Trying It On in the Wardrobe

Bai Wei arrived in town.

Buying pigs, buying sheep, buying chickens, buying ducks...

Buying milk, instant noodles, self-heating pads...

All of it was war-readiness supplies.

She also ordered a box truck, modified into a Recreational Vehicle, with a bed, refrigerator, and small kitchen inside.

Inside the Recreational Vehicle, a space was specifically reserved, intended for placing a wardrobe later.

Now Bai Wei was a VIP customer for several manufacturers; the manufacturers were especially enthusiastic toward her, all prioritizing her shipments and delivering to her home.

Over six thousand pairs of warm shoes were also finished and delivered to the Farm.

Daliang was freezing cold, and the soldiers relied on chopping wood to cook; Bai Wei bought another ten tons of smokeless coal.

Used for the soldiers to keep warm and cook.

The basic supplies were mostly purchased.

Bai Wei arrived in town and saw a Hanfu shop by the roadside with a sign reading "Han Tang Handcrafts."

Her heart stirred, and she walked into the shop.

Inside the shop, it was hung full of a dazzling array of ancient-style clothes, extremely exquisite.

Things like Horse-face Skirts, Cross-collar Ru Skirts, Ao Skirts...

But most were women's clothing; the quantity of men's clothing was not large.

Bai Wei saw a piece of men's Hanfu, dark red embroidered with flying fish patterns, full of a youthful, spirited feeling.

She remembered that Xiao Moting's battle robe was deep red.

His battle robe had already worn down to frayed edges; putting on this new garment, he would surely be extraordinarily handsome.

"Boss, how much for this one?"

"This Flying Fish Suit is three thousand two, including the belt and accessories."

Bai Wei had never bought Hanfu before.

The clothes she usually wore were mostly bought online from Taobao or Pinduoduo; she rarely went to shops to buy them.

Bai Wei thought for a moment; Xiao Moting was over eight chi tall, which converted to over one meter eighty.

"Can a man nearly one meter ninety tall wear it?"

"Yes."

Bai Wei decisively took out her phone.

"I'll take it."

Just at this moment, she received a call from the auction house.

The other party's voice was very respectful, revealing a hint of excitement.

"Ms. Bai, the boss has arrived; please come over to discuss the details."

On her phone, she also received a message from Zhou Yuchuan.

The moment she saw the price, Bai Wei was dumbfounded.

No wonder the shop assistant was so respectful to her; it turned out that Celadon Vase was such a valuable item!

She could bring in another large sum of money!

Very soon.

Bai Wei arrived at the auction house.

The boss was named Chang Yuan, and his attitude was extremely polite.

"Ms. Bai, regarding this Celadon Vase, do you think forty million is acceptable to sell?"

He also brought two elderly appraisers.

The two knowledgeable and experienced old appraisers kept staring at the Celadon Vase, letting out bursts of exclamation.

Hearing the price made Bai Wei feel relieved.

It was about the same as the figure Zhou Yuchuan mentioned.

He said this Southern Dynasties Celadon was very rare.

One of them, known as the "King of Southern Dynasties Celadon," a Lotus Vase, was placed in the Jinling Six Dynasties Museum as a treasure of the museum.

Hers was from a private kiln and only the size of a palm, so the price had shrunk quite a bit.

"Deal."

With the price settled, Chang Yuan immediately transferred the money without any hesitation.

As if he were afraid Bai Wei would go back on her word.

"Ms. Bai is straightforward; we shall cooperate again if there is an opportunity in the future."

Bai Wei stood up and shook hands with him.

"As long as the price is fair, there will certainly be opportunities."

Chang Yuan did not try to fool her.

In this way, she had gained another channel for selling antiques.

When returning to the village, Bai Wei found a shop selling security supplies.

Although the Farm was remote and had a certain distance from the villagers' residences, and there was a perimeter wall around it.

But in these past few days, she had been purchasing goods in bulk and buying up all the village's vegetables, which was very conspicuous.

Moreover, the Aunt had been sent back to the village, was publicly criticized by the village chief, and was ordered to pay over two million in compensation.

Bai Wei concluded that the Aunt would definitely come to cause her trouble in the future.

Strengthening defenses can prevent quite a lot of trouble.

This trip cost nearly five million; money really does flow away like water.

If not for this Celadon Vase, the money in my hands would have hit rock bottom again.

Just as Bai Wei was preparing to purchase thirty tons of rice, she encountered a problem.

The manager of the grain Trade Company was very vigilant, "Reselling grain is an illegal act; without a proper reason, we won't sell!"

Bai Wei was chased out.

She had been purchasing supplies in such large quantities that she was, as expected, suspected.

Bai Wei picked up her phone, "Li Bo, is your distillery for sale? I'll buy it!"

Two hours later.

Bai Wei bought the distillery and, under the guise of brewing alcohol, successfully purchased thirty tons of rice.

Buying the distillery cost four hundred and twenty thousand.

Li Bo was puzzled, "Xiao Wei, are you planning to go into the alcohol business? That's not easy to do."

"I'm returning to the village to start a business," Bai Wei said with a smile, "Li Bo, help me manage the distillery; the salary is fifteen thousand yuan a month."

Li Bo's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Of course," Bai Wei nodded, "If your son comes, he gets ten thousand a month."

Li Bo nodded repeatedly in delight.

Carrying bricks in the city, one couldn't even make fifteen thousand a month no matter how hard they worked.

Bai Wei smiled as well.

With the distillery, she could now buy rice and grain openly and honestly.

The alcohol in ancient times had a very weak flavor.

The grain alcohol brewed by Li Bo would be a top-tier vintage in ancient times.

She could take it to Daliang, earn silver, and make a fortune!

According to Xiao Moting, the base camp in Beijiang still had one hundred thousand soldiers, and they were all old, weak, sick, or disabled.

With such a large population, she didn't have enough energy to deliver grain and rice all by herself.

Bai Wei returned to the Farm, where the construction workers were building a Warehouse.

She entered the house, walked to the wardrobe, pulled open the door, and put the things inside.

Just as Bai Wei moved a box of Ham Sausage and placed it into the wardrobe.

Suddenly!

A yellow shadow darted over like lightning and "whooshed" into the wardrobe.

"Dahuang! Don't go in there!"

Bai Wei was startled; she lunged forward, quickly grabbed Dahuang's two hind legs, and pulled hard.

She couldn't let the dog Dahuang get teleported over!

It would be stewed into dog meat soup!

"Awoo, awoo..."

Dahuang had already clamped a Ham Sausage in its mouth and was scratching frantically with its two front paws.

It refused to come out no matter what.

Bai Wei used all her might and, with great difficulty, finally dragged Dahuang out.

She looked up.

The Ham Sausage placed in the wardrobe was gone, including the one Dahuang had in its mouth.

Bai Wei was struck by a wave of shock.

Dahuang had almost disappeared!

Fortunately, she was currently transferring items using her Mental Power.

Just now, she had only focused her mind on the Ham Sausage.

Otherwise, if the image of "Dahuang" had flashed through her mind.

She might have teleported it over too.

Dahuang, having been dragged out of the wardrobe, discovered the Ham Sausage in its mouth had vanished; it immediately searched everywhere, whimpering pitifully while wagging its tail incessantly.

Bai Wei opened a pack of Ham Sausage and threw it over to comfort Dahuang.

Suddenly, a strange thought popped into her mind.

The "ancient male ghost" she had seen in the wardrobe before was Xiao Moting.

The two had met once inside the wardrobe.

Since her consciousness could return to Daliang through the medium of the Jade Pendant.

And modern items could be teleported to Xiao Moting's side through the wardrobe.

What would happen if she climbed into the wardrobe herself?

Would she be teleported to Xiao Moting's side?

Bai Wei felt a stir in her heart.

She gazed at the wardrobe, took a deep breath, opened the door, and intended to climb in and try.

Since the wardrobe was a space-time channel connecting the modern world and Daliang.

Then if she climbed into the wardrobe and opened the door again, she might be able to go to the real Daliang Dynasty.

Bai Wei wanted to try.
