Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Back in the house, Qin Jingru was somewhat annoyed.

"Brother Wang Feng, I thought there was going to be a good show, but it's just like this?"

"Hehe, Jingru, without Jia Zhangshi, this courtyard wouldn't be as lively. Haven't you heard? Whether the courtyard is chaotic or not depends on the Jia family. Without Jia Zhangshi, the Jia family has no soul," Wang Feng laughed.

"Brother Wang Feng, I've never heard of this before. Where did you hear it from?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

Wang Feng waved his hand: "Alright, stop asking so many questions. Aren't you going to Fengzeyuan? Why aren't you going yet? It's almost time."

"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, I'll go right now. By the way, should we attend Liu Guangqi's wedding banquet?"

Wang Feng shook his head and said, "I just beat up Liu Guangqi a while ago, and I don't get along with Liu Haizhong either, so I'm not going. Anyway, even if I went, I wouldn't get enough to eat, so it's better not to go."

At this point, Wang Feng chuckled and said, "Jingru, didn't you just say there wasn't a good show to watch? Tomorrow morning, you're sure to see a good show."

Wang Feng recalled that Liu Guangqi emptied his house and ran away on the very night he got married.

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, then I'll be looking forward to the show tomorrow morning. You stay home and rest, I'm going to Fengzeyuan."

Not long after Qin Jingru left, Wang Feng also went out with his bicycle.

As soon as they reached the pool in the middle courtyard, they saw Liu Guangtian pulling a cart, Liu Guangfu pushing it from behind, and Liu Guangqi leading the way empty-handed. The three of them went from the front courtyard all the way to the middle courtyard.

There was a sewing machine and a radio on the cart, along with new quilts, new sheets, and other things—the whole cart was full.

"Brother Wang."

"Brother Wang."

As they passed the middle courtyard, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu greeted Wang Feng with smiles, while Liu Guangqi simply nodded slightly before walking from the middle courtyard to the back courtyard.

Looking at the cart full of stuff, Wang Feng had to admit that Liu Guangqi's hair was truly perfect.

These items alone will cost several hundred yuan, and there might be a watch, which would cost another hundred yuan or so. Add to that the cost of the banquet and other miscellaneous expenses, and Liu Haizhong will probably spend several hundred yuan this time.

Upon arriving at the front yard, Yan Fugui had already set up a table and was registering the gifts.

"Wang Feng, aren't you going to Guang Qi's wedding banquet?"

When Yan Fugui saw Wang Feng pushing his bicycle and preparing to leave, he quickly stopped him and asked him something.

Wang Feng glanced at the register of gift money. It was mostly three or five cents, and one-yuan notes were rare. Of the dozens of households in the courtyard, only Yi Zhonghai gave one-yuan gift money. As for Yan Fugui, he helped register him, so he didn't need to give any gift money and could still go out for a meal.

"Hehe, Lao Yan, I have something to do with Jingru today, so I won't be going."

With that, Wang Feng pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard and headed towards the moat.

Wang Feng's spiritual sense is now five meters long. Since he's just idling around anyway, he might as well come to the moat to search for treasure. Maybe he can find a box or two of gold, which would allow his spatial dimension to develop rapidly.

Upon reaching the moat, Wang Feng found a secluded corner, took off his clothes, and jumped in.

Once submerged to the bottom of the moat, Wang Feng activated his spiritual sense and began to probe the riverbed.

Under his spiritual sense, nothing at the bottom of the river could escape his keen eyes. He could even clearly see a copper coin under the mud.

However, Wang Feng was too lazy to pick up anything that wasn't worth much.

Having spiritual awareness before searching for treasure is the right way to do it. In less than five minutes, Wang Feng found a gold ingot at the bottom of the river, which weighed about the same as a large yellow croaker.

Without saying a word, Wang Feng directly stored the gold ingot in his spatial warehouse.

In the past few days, Wang Feng also discovered another use for spiritual sense: within the range of his spiritual sense, he can retrieve objects remotely. However, he cannot retrieve heavy items remotely. Currently, within a five-meter range, he can only store items weighing less than fifty kilograms into his space.

The weight of objects he can retrieve remotely is calculated based on the strength of his spiritual sense. Currently, his spiritual sense can extend five meters, allowing him to remotely store items weighing up to fifty kilograms. Once his spiritual sense reaches ten meters, he will be able to store items weighing one hundred kilograms.

Wang Feng followed the same route he had searched before, and after half an hour of searching, he finally found a small wooden box.

Eager to store it in his spatial storage, Wang Feng quickly used his mind to open the box and examine it.

The moment the box was opened, the sight of rows of large yellow croakers instantly dazzled Wang Feng.

"Hahaha!"

"Cough cough cough."

Wang Feng laughed loudly in the water, but immediately choked on two mouthfuls of water. He quickly shut his mouth and carefully examined the large yellow croaker in the small wooden box.

This small wooden box is also waterproofed, and it contains thirty large yellow croakers, weighing approximately 18 to 19 jin (about 9.5-6.5 catties).

With such a great discovery, Wang Feng is now even more motivated, exploring every nook and cranny.

Another hour passed, and Wang Feng found another large wooden box, which made him very excited.

If such a large box were full of gold, it would weigh several hundred kilograms.

Wang Feng couldn't wait to put the large wooden box into his spatial storage and immediately opened it.

The moment the large wooden crate was opened, Wang Feng's face fell instantly.

The large wooden box contained neither gold nor jade, but another large box of Yuan Shikai silver dollars.

He already has two boxes of Yuan Shikai silver dollars in his storage space, so these things aren't of much use now.

Wang Feng was still unwilling to give up. He refused to believe that such a large moat couldn't contain a chest or two of gold.

Continuing to explore ahead, they found another box after walking less than ten meters. Although this box wasn't large, it was still about five times bigger than the previous small box.

He put the box into his spatial storage. This time, he was somewhat numb and not as excited as before. He opened the box directly with his mind.

The moment the box was opened, another yellow light appeared before Wang Feng's eyes, causing him to widen his gaze instantly.

It turned out to be a box of gold ingots. Wang Feng was so excited that he trembled slightly.

This box of gold ingots must weigh at least a hundred or two hundred pounds. We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich this time.

Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Wang Feng continued to explore ahead, finding two boxes within ten meters, and perhaps there were more?

Unfortunately, after probing more than a hundred meters ahead, he found nothing of value.

Perhaps his luck had run out for the day. Wang Feng searched for another two kilometers ahead, but still couldn't find anything of value. He did see quite a few random things, such as copper coins, kitchen knives, and axes.

It was already past four in the afternoon. Wang Feng found a secluded corner and went ashore.

On his way home, Wang Feng was in high spirits, looking energetic and with a big smile on his face.

He had just carefully examined the contents of his spatial dimension. This harvest included thirty large yellow croakers, weighing 18.6 jin (approximately 9.8 catties), and a box of gold ingots, each weighing 155 grams, totaling 290 ingots, which weighed 90 jin (approximately 45 catties). He had also previously found a gold ingot weighing 310 grams. In total, he had harvested 109 jin (approximately 54.5 catties) of gold this time.
