Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 224: Suspicious Young Man ( 1 )

Yao Zhi coaxed her donkey for a moment before she filled the feeder with grass from her system’s grassland. Afterward, she filled the drinking basin with water and added two drops of spiritual spring water.

The moment Xiao Lu saw this, it finally calmed down and forgave its forgetful owner.

Only after she placated her mount and pets did Yao Zhi go to water her vegetable gardens. When she was done, she boiled two pots of hot water and took a bath.

In the afternoon, she was reading the agricultural record when she heard someone calling outside.

"Sister Yao, are you at home?"

Recognizing the voice, Yao Zhi stored the record in her system’s storage and wore her cloak before she went out. During winter, daytime was shorter than nighttime. At four o’clock in the afternoon, the sky had changed color.

She opened the gate and saw Yang Dalang outside. "Brother Dalang, what brought you here? Please come inside."

To avoid suspicions, Yang Dalang shook his head and said, "Sister Yao, you are alone at home, so I won’t go inside. I only came to inform you that the well has been finished."

He handed her a piece of paper and said, "This is the detailed record of the workers’ wages and the expenses for materials."

Yao Zhi checked the list for a moment and asked, "Was the money I gave you enough?"

"There are still more than 100 taels of silver left," Yang Dalang nodded.

After a moment of pause, he continued, "Sister Yao, the weather is getting colder now. Everyone wants to know if we can pause the project and continue it after winter?"

Thinking about Luo Bo’s words, Yao Zhi nodded and said, "The wasteland and the well are ready. The rest of the ponds can be dug after winter."

After she said this, she went to get a basket of vegetables and handed it to Yang Dalang. "Brother Dalang, you and your brothers have helped me a lot. This is just a small gesture from me. Please accept it."

Knowing that she was not lacking money or food, Yang Dalang didn’t refuse. He took the bamboo basket and said, "Sister Yao, I will return your basket tomorrow."

"It’s okay. You can return it anytime. There is no need to specifically come and return it," Yao Zhi replied with a smile.

After the brief conversation, Yang Dalang left with the fresh vegetables. Since the sky had darkened, Yao Zhi locked the gate and went to the kitchen. She carried the brazier and an iron kettle to her room.

After she locked the doors, she opened her system’s shop and browsed for a moment. She clicked on the Binchotan charcoal and bought a bag for 10 points. One bag weighs 50 kilograms and could last for a long time.

Binchotan charcoal was known as the best because it was incredibly dense, producing almost no smoke and no odor, and it burned for a very long time.

She took two pieces of charcoal and put them on the brazier. After she opened the window, she bought a heat gun for 200 points. She took out the portable station from her system’s storage and connected the heat gun to it. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Then, she used the heat gun to light the charcoal. It took her 20 minutes before the charcoal finally turned red and started burning. When the brazier was finally ready, she filled the kettle with water and let it boil slowly.

While waiting, she took out the oil lamp and lit it. Then, she prepared cup noodles. When the water finally boiled, she used it to cook the cup noodles. Besides the cup noodles, she also ate a half-boiled chicken egg for dinner.

Soon after sunset, the temperature dropped drastically. Yao Zhi put the brazier near the end of the bed to keep warm. Fearing that her pets would feel cold, she opened the door and called out, "Ye Ying, Bai Xue."

In less than one minute, the two wolf cubs dashed over and let out soft barks.

Yao Zhi squatted and patted their bodies for a moment before she said, "It’s cold now. Both of you will sleep inside."

"Awoo~"

The wolf cubs were happy and licked her face, covering her with their saliva. Yao Zhi laughed and said, "Okay, stop it."

Hearing this, Ye Ying and Bai Xue stopped their antics and went into the room. They sniffed around before they lay beside the bed.

Yao Zhi went to check on Xiao Lu. Seeing that it lay in the corner, she took out a thick tiger fur and covered her donkey with it.

Feeling the warm pelt, Xiao Lu licked her palm before it closed its eyes and went to sleep.

Before returning to her room, Yao Zhi brushed her teeth and washed her face. Afterward, she finally locked the door, changed into her pajamas, and lay on the bed.

With the soft snoring of her pets, she drifted into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Yao Zhi woke up feeling heavy. When she opened her eyes, she saw two fluffy faces lying on her body. She reached out and carried her heavy wolf cubs off her body.

When she sat up, she shivered due to the cold. Since she left a crack in the window for ventilation, the cold breeze had entered the room for a whole night.

She looked at her pets and gave them a kiss. They must have seen her feeling cold and used their bodies to warm her up.

"Good babies," she muttered with a smile.

After changing her clothes and tying her hair, Yao Zhi stored the oil lamp in her system’s storage. Wearing the cloak given by her husband, she went to the kitchen and started her morning routine.

When she was done, it was already 8 o’clock in the morning. She put the harness on her donkey and rode it to the wasteland. Today, both Ye Ying and Bai Xue refused to stay at home and insisted on following her.
