My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 64 Pearls are very valuable
Thinking about it, it's no wonder that my junior sister doesn't understand anything. She has always lived in this small place and has never seen the world. She has no idea what kind of dirty situation the outside world is like.

They only thought of exchanging all the treasures they had just acquired for money.

Before, when she wasn't her junior sister, she couldn't say anything.

Now that she's my junior sister, I should explain the pros and cons to her.

Don't end up not even knowing how you died.

"Huh? Are pearls very valuable?" White Fox Yaoyao asked, puzzled.

This thing was something she used to live in, where pearls were everywhere.

Pearl jewelry is not unusual, and red pearls are not uncommon either!

Why does it stop working here?
After hearing her question, Zi Mei began to explain the situation of this world to her.

Resources have always been scarce on this continent, especially things like pearls from the sea, which are truly rare.

Especially since the territory of the Western Moon Kingdom is not close to the coast, these items are even more precious.

It's not like the Eastern Pearls sold at the last Qibaozhai auction; they're just very rare, and most of them are in the Mantuo Empire.

It's truly rare to see such pearls in these surrounding small countries.

Otherwise, would those two pearls have fetched such high prices?
The Western Moon Kingdom is the smallest of the five kingdoms, and its resources have always been controlled by the other kingdoms. The appearance of such a scarce item in a small town in the Western Moon Kingdom will surely attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives.

"Junior Sister, I suggest that you find a reliable caravan to help you sell these good things at Fanlou in the future. That way, you won't attract too much attention."

Zi Mei was genuinely worried that her junior sister would be targeted.

Baihu Yaoyao also agreed with her senior sister's point. "Senior sister, you're right. I'll have many more good things to sell in the future. Do you have any recommendations for powerful merchant caravans?"

Seeing that her junior sister had figured it out, Zi Mei breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, Old Master Huo has a caravan, which was left to him by his wife back then."

"Didn't you say that Old Master Huo started as a butcher, later became a general, and thus gained a pivotal position in the capital, and is now someone the emperor fears? How could he have a caravan?"

Bai Hu Yaoyao was somewhat puzzled; Old Master Huo didn't seem like the type to run a caravan.

It was evident from that auction that Mr. Huo was someone who didn't care about money.

With the last few hundred thousand taels of silver in the family, they bought a spear for their grandson.

Zi Mei sighed, picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea. "Old Master Huo is indeed not good at management. The entire General's Mansion is now only left with the two of them, grandfather and grandson. Even so, the Emperor is wary of them, and that Jianghu merchant caravan is almost ready to disband."

"Over the years, Mr. Huo has been using the last of his family's money to maintain that caravan because it was founded by his wife, and all the people in the caravan were soldiers who had retired from the battlefield. Mr. Huo couldn't bear to disband the caravan."

"Old Master Huo once saved my life, and I don't want to see that caravan disband."

"Junior sister, it just so happens that your things need to be escorted by a caravan. Consider it your senior sister repaying Old Master Huo's favor."

Zi Mei has wanted to help Old Master Huo all these years, but she has been unable to do anything about it.

She secretly helped Old Master Huo investigate a lot of information back then, and avoided many traps on the battlefield.

Later, all of Old Master Huo's sons died in battle, and both of his grandsons also died in battle, leaving only Huo Yanchen, the youngest grandson.

Her investigation revealed that the deaths of his sons and grandsons were not accidental, but rather because the emperor could not tolerate the Huo family.

That's why Old Master Huo decided to retire and return to his hometown, far from the imperial court, to travel around and fulfill the wish he had made to his wife when he was young to travel together.

"You won't blame your senior sister, will you?" Zi Mei asked cautiously.

It was her own business how to deal with her junior sister's things, but she suggested that she take them to Fanlou to sell, in order to support Old Master Huo's caravan and repay the kindness she had shown back then.

Will her junior sister stop talking to her because of this?
Will her junior sister blame her?

Zi Mei felt uneasy.

Bai Hu Yaoyao didn't think much of it. "Why should I blame you? Senior Sister is only doing this for my own good, isn't she? Senior Sister is thinking of me wholeheartedly, how could I blame you? It just so happens that I also like Old Master Huo's temperament, so using Old Master Huo's caravan is the best choice." Senior Sister is right. Her things are too special, and she can't always take them out. If she sells too many, people will naturally become suspicious.

If she were to sell it at the Dufanlou in the Mando Empire, it would be very difficult for anyone to trace it back to her.

This can be considered a way to save one's life.

"I'm glad you're not blaming me. From now on, take out some normal things from Qibaozhai. Don't always take out these outrageous things, okay?" Zi Mei affectionately poked Bai Hu Yaoyao's forehead.

"Alright! I still have a lot of ordinary white pearls here, so I'll put them up for sale at Qibaozhai!"

Among the things Mingyuan gave her were many white pearls. He said that in the demon race, such pearls were used to grind into powder to make rouge.

Only large pearls would be given by men to their partners or females.

Everything in the sea is sold by the sea people.

Those things are very cheap, and it's incredibly easy for sea creatures to find things on the seabed.

"Alright! You really defeated me. I'll help you contact Grandpa Huo, and the caravan will be looking for you soon."

"You'd better put Fanlou's mark on the caravan, so no one will dare to mess with those things," Zi Mei specifically instructed her.

"Well then, please take good care of me, Senior Sister," Bai Hu Yaoyao said with a smile.

With someone taking care of things for her, she certainly had a lot less to worry about.

"Because you're my junior sister."

The two chatted and laughed all afternoon.

Seeing that it was getting late, the white fox Yaoyao returned to the restaurant.

Wang Dali had already prepared the meal and was waiting. "Junior Sister, I'll cook for you and take care of you from now on."

Looking at the food on the table, Baihu Yaoyao felt a little hungry. "Second Senior Sister, sit down and eat with me."

"Alright!" Wang Dali didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to eat.

The food Wang Dali made wasn't actually very tasty; it only tasted good because the ingredients came from his spatial dimension.

After finishing his meal, Wang Dali tidied up the restaurant and went straight home.

The streets of Peach Blossom Town were quiet.

After finishing her meal, the white fox Yaoyao returned to her space and walked through the fields, rubbing her large belly to aid digestion.

It turns out this space can be upgraded.

After planting batch after batch of grains and vegetables, she actually leveled up. Now, with just a thought, the grains and vegetables in her space can be harvested and planted automatically.

Another batch of vegetables has ripened; it's time to harvest them.

The white fox Yaoyao was having a great time harvesting vegetables in her spatial dimension, while the demon Mingyuan was so busy he barely had time to breathe.

Elemental Netherstones became highly sought-after items among the demon race, and those glass cups were especially favored by the females of the major clans.

Even late at night, Mingyuan's shop was still brightly lit.

"Yes, yes, it's hanging there."

Mingyuan is directing people to hang up the plaque.

That's all for today's update.
