Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Wang Feng reached out and touched the hard object at his feet. The moment he touched it, he knew it was a large wooden box.

Ignoring his excitement, Wang Feng quickly put the large wooden box into his spatial storage.

He searched the vicinity for a while without finding anything. Just as he was about to go back to shore to catch his breath, he found a large wooden box, which made him overjoyed.

Wang Feng put it directly into his spatial storage and went ashore. He had been underwater for almost twenty minutes and was about to give up.

Once ashore, Wang Feng looked around and, seeing no one nearby, his consciousness sank into the space and opened one of the boxes.

The moment the box was opened, Wang Feng's face fell. The box was full of silver dollars, not a single gold coin in sight.

The box is very well waterproofed. It's made of teak and is very well sealed. It's been so many years, yet the Yuan Shikai silver dollars haven't rotted, and there isn't even a water stain inside the box.

Wang Feng took a deep breath, lit a Zhonghua cigarette, and then opened the other box.

As soon as the box was opened, Wang Feng's face immediately showed disappointment. It wasn't a box of gold, nor was it filled with silver dollars; instead, it contained a large rock.

Wait a minute, a big rock couldn't possibly be sealed so well in a box.

"Could it be a rough jade stone?"

Wang Feng controlled the stone to suspend it in mid-air with his mind. In just one glance, he saw two openings on the left and right sides of the stone, and a green color appeared before his eyes.

"This...could it be imperial green?"

"Holy crap, we've struck it rich! This time we've really struck it rich!"

Wang Feng couldn't help but swear. This raw stone weighed at least several hundred kilograms and was truly imperial green. If it were in later generations, it would definitely be priceless.

Under his mental control, the outer layer of the raw stone slowly fell off. Wang Feng wanted to cut open the raw stone to see its quality before making any plans.

In less than a minute, a piece of jade weighing over 100 kilograms appeared before Wang Feng's eyes.

This is definitely imperial green. Although Wang Feng had never seen the real thing before, he had seen many pictures. This is definitely the top-grade imperial green, and the whole piece is of this quality.

Wang Feng had no idea how much a hundred-pound piece of imperial green jadeite would be worth in later generations—billions, or even tens of billions?

Is it too much of a price to use this to upgrade the Water of Life?

After much thought, Wang Feng felt that his health was more important, since there would be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future.

Without hesitation, the hundred-pound imperial green jadeite instantly transformed into specks of green light, merging into the stone pool.

Under Wang Feng's mental observation, nothing unusual happened in the space, except that the stone pool trembled slightly, and the dripping life water seemed to have become even greener.

Wang Feng quickly stored the life-giving water that had been dripping from the stone pool into his spatial storage, and then took out a drop of the life-giving water that was dripping now and put it in his mouth.

The moment Wang Feng tasted just one drop of the Water of Life, his body reacted instantly.

A warm current surged into his body, and Wang Feng felt extremely comfortable, as if he were drinking the water of life for the first time. However, this feeling quickly disappeared.

Wang Feng clearly sensed that his power seemed to have increased slightly, but it wasn't obvious.

He had drunk the water of life after he reached the strength of a thousand jin, but no matter how much he drank, his body did not react at all.

Wang Feng is now basically certain that his Water of Life has been upgraded, and his physique will soon be greatly improved, and his strength will quickly break through to two thousand jin.

Thinking of this, he immediately showed excitement. He didn't feel so bad about using the priceless Imperial Green to upgrade the Water of Life. After all, money is just an external thing, only the body is truly one's own.

Wang Feng smoked three Zhonghua cigarettes in a row before he could calm down.

Looking at the time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still plenty of time. Wang Feng decided to continue searching at the bottom of the moat, hoping to find some gold and jade.

In just twenty minutes underwater, he had filled the three-acre fishpond with the water he needed and also harvested over two thousand kilograms of fish and some plankton.

Once back at the bottom of the moat, Wang Feng began searching in the opposite direction.

Whether it was because his luck had run out or something else, he searched at the bottom of the river for three whole hours without finding a single copper coin.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and Wang Feng decided not to continue searching; he had to go back.

However, whenever he had time, he decided to come to the moat to search for treasure. He refused to believe that there were only these two boxes of things in the entire moat.

Finding things in the moat is much easier than at Prince Gong's Mansion. Even if there is treasure in Prince Gong's Mansion, he doesn't know where it is. And Prince Gong's Mansion is so big, he can't really dig three feet into the ground, can he? But he will never give up on Prince Gong's Mansion. As long as he has the chance, he must find the treasure.

Once ashore, seeing that no one was around, Wang Feng put on his clothes, took out his bicycle, and headed towards Nanluoguxiang.

By the time we got back to courtyard number 95, it was already dark.

As he entered the front yard, Yan Fugui greeted him, and he responded with a smile before proceeding to the middle yard.

Upon seeing Qin Jingru's bicycle parked outside, Wang Feng pushed open the door and went inside.

"Brother Wang Feng, you're back!"

Upon seeing Wang Feng, Qin Jingru immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Jingru, why are you back so early? Fengzeyuan must be quite busy at this time, right?" Wang Feng asked curiously.

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, I left around 1 p.m., went shopping with Wu Yun for a while, and came back around 2 p.m."

"My master originally asked me to go over in the afternoon as well, but I was worried that Brother Wang Feng hadn't eaten well today, so I told my master that I would go over at ten o'clock in the morning from now on, and come back after cooking lunch. My master couldn't persuade me otherwise, so he agreed."

"Brother Wang Feng, did you know? The manager praised me today. After eating one of my dishes, he wanted me to stay at Fengzeyuan and even offered me 30 yuan a month, but I refused."

As soon as Qin Jingru saw Wang Feng, she started chattering nonstop, as if she wanted to share all the happy things in her heart with him.

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng did not speak, but simply smiled and nodded.

"Jingru, how did your day go at Fengzeyuan? What dishes did you learn to cook today?"

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, I mainly cooked two dishes at Fengzeyuan today: braised pork and Kung Pao chicken. My master said that once I can cook these two dishes to about 80% of his level, he will let me take charge of the other dishes. He said that I can learn faster that way."

"Brother Wang Feng, when I came back this afternoon, I saw a big rooster in the house, so I asked Aunt Wu to kill it for me. I'll let you try it tonight and see if my cooking skills have improved."

Hearing Qin Jingru's words, Wang Feng nodded with a smile.

It seems that letting Qin Jingru learn to cook well is a wise decision. After all, he and Qin Jingru have a long future together. He has the ingredients, and Qin Jingru has the cooking skills. This is the perfect combination.
