Thinking of the events from her past life, Xu Wenwan couldn’t help but pout. Her cousin’s luck was just too good.
She’d been hunted down and still hadn’t died.
But that was fine.
She knew plenty of her cousin’s dicinal formulas. Soon, she would use them to launch her own business!
The more Xu Wenwan thought about it, the happier she beca. She hugged the "teapot" and planted a kiss right on it.
Just as the old gatekeeper walked in, he witnessed this scene, and his face instantly twisted as if he were constipated.
His gaze on Xu Wenwan turned strange.
’This girl is pretty, and she’s well-dressed, too.’
’But why does she have such a strange quirk?’
’Hugging a chamber pot, caressing and kissing it.’
’There must be sothing wrong with her!’
The old gatekeeper rubbed his face, glanced down at his own physique, and suddenly felt a little afraid.
He imdiately forgot about needing to pee and scurried back to his guard post to look for a handy weapon to protect himself.
Xu Wenwan, still oblivious that the "teapot" in her hands was actually a chamber pot, cradled it like a precious treasure.
’This is my startup capital, and it’s porcelain. I can’t let it get bumped or scratched, or it won’t sell for a good price.’
Carrying the chamber pot, she continued to rummage through the scrap heap with her free hand, hoping to find a second antique.
Seeing Xu Wenwan like this, the system remained silent.
It needed Xu Wenwan to help it collect destiny, but despite ntioning it several tis, she kept refusing.
This was not the outco it desired.
It didn’t understand human nature, but it knew what mattered most to Xu Wenwan.
And what she cared about most was Gu Jiaojiao.
’The system formulated a plan.’
After rummaging for a while longer and finding nothing, Xu Wenwan could only take the chamber pot to the old gatekeeper to pay.
As she approached, the old man was clearly a little nervous.
’This guy is strange,’ Xu Wenwan thought. She carefully set down the chamber pot. "How much is it?"
The old man glanced at Xu Wenwan, a glint in his eye. "Two yuan."
’This thing is just a chamber pot that nobody wants. Fifty cents would have been plenty.’
’But she’s so careful with it, she must really like it. So, two yuan it is.’
Xu Wenwan didn’t even try to bargain. In fact, she thought it was quite a deal.
She imdiately took out two yuan, handed it to the old man, and left with her chamber pot.
The old man watched until Xu Wenwan was a good distance away before finally heaving a sigh of relief.
Seeing it was about closing ti, he locked the gate.
He then headed out.
Just as Xu Wenwan was about to leave, the system suddenly spoke up.
"Host, go take a look at the East Market!"
Xu Wenwan didn’t understand what the system ant, but she figured it must be for her own good. Without hesitation, she headed straight for the East Market.
「East Market.」
Gu Jiaojiao had just arrived. Leng Yuan had gone off to handle so business.
She wanted to buy a few things, so she had Leng ManCang, Sweet Girl, and Xiao Yang wait by the donkey cart while she went in alone.
She had barely stepped inside when she spotted Rooster Head.
Rooster Head saw Gu Jiaojiao at the sa ti.
"You’re here to buy sothing?"
The East Market was a regular market where villagers could sell any extra eggs they had, or bring over surplus radishes and cabbages. The selection was usually small.
There were also so foraged goods from the mountains.
This kind of small-scale trading was unregulated.
Gu Jiaojiao was clearly a little surprised. "Yeah! Are you here to shop too?"
Rooster Head nodded.
"Yep! My older brother is hosting a dinner tomorrow, so I figured I’d buy sothing to bring over."
Rooster Head imdiately bought two old hens and so eggs.
Gu Jiaojiao found it a bit strange, though for a mont she couldn’t put her finger on why.
As it happened, she had so business with Rooster Head.
"By the way, I have sothing I need to ask you. Let’s talk over on the side."
Rooster Head hesitated for a mont before nodding.
The two of them moved to the side.
Gu Jiaojiao began in a low voice.
"I was wondering if you buy dicinal ointnts and pills."
