Chapter 113 Chicken Coop

Bai Zhi sighed: "Barbarians really are so cold-hearted."

"Food and soil are scarce in the wild land, and the barbarians are not skilled in craftsmanship. Even cutting cloth and making clothes is a problem, so they have no choice but to stick to it." Chu Yunchuan pondered, "How could the barbarians ask for help from the Thirteen States and provoke public anger... Baizhi, I'll go find out what's going on, and I'll be back soon."

Bai Zhi looked at his conscientious appearance and suddenly said, "You may not be inferior to the previous king. There is no need to feel ashamed of yourself."

Chu Yunchuan was stunned. Bai Zhi smiled, pulled out her hand, and pushed Chu Yunchuan to the door: "Go, go, come back soon."

Chu Yunchuan smiled happily and said, "Okay."

After he left, the girls at the next table called her and asked with a smile, "Manager Bai, when can we drink your wedding wine? Let's see how handsome the groom is in his wedding clothes!"

Bai Zhi waved her hand mysteriously: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's still early!"

Girls: “Ah—”

"Okay, everyone, enjoy your meal!" Bai Zhi was holding a tea bowl and was about to go back to the cashier's desk to check the account book when she suddenly heard someone from the store calling her, "Bai Zhi."

Bai Zhi looked back and said, "Ying Xu? You're here to deliver the chicken? Didn't you come this morning?"

Tu Yingxu looked very sad, sweating profusely: "There will be no chickens next month. I'm so sorry. You should find another place to buy chickens as soon as possible."

No more chicken? Bai Zhi sat down with Tu Yingxu and asked, "What happened?"

Tu Yingxu sighed softly: "When I returned to the chicken coop this morning, I found that the door was not closed and all the chickens had run away. It will take at least a month to raise them again."

"The door is not closed?" Bai Zhi frowned. "You are always careful in doing things, how could you forget to close the door?"

"I remember closing the door, but maybe I forgot because I left in such a hurry this morning. Baizhi, don't worry, this is my fault. I'll pay for the chicken when you find a place to buy it."

"That's not necessary. You'll pay the same price no matter where you buy chicken." Bai Zhi patted Tu Yingxu's shoulder and consoled him, "It's just that the chicken you raise has a unique flavor. It's hard to find it elsewhere."

Tu Yingxu held Bai Zhi's hand and said firmly, "Bai Zhi, sisters should settle accounts clearly. We should be honest in doing business. I will definitely give the money to you!"

"Okay, okay." Bai Zhi pulled out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped Tu Yingxu's sweat. "If you insist on giving it to me, I'll take it. But don't worry, I'll owe it to you first. You raise the chickens first, and I'll ask Zhou Shensi to find a place to buy chickens and have tea."

Tu Yingxu nodded repeatedly and said softly, "The older generation said that meeting barbarians would bring bad luck, and it is true."

"Meet the barbarian?" Bai Zhi thought of the barbarian who was beaten to death by a guest at the Yuelai Inn. She thought that he was really unlucky. Even the barbarian himself was plagued by bad luck. She asked casually, "Did the barbarian go to your shop to buy meat?"

"No, this barbarian came to ask how to raise chickens."

"What?"

"I also find it strange. Not only did he ask this, he also said that he would take me back to the barbarian land and give me this amount per month." Tu Yingxu crossed his fingers. Bai Zhi sneered, "Ten taels?"

"Yeah, I didn't have this idea in the first place, not to mention that he only offered me ten taels. I rejected him immediately, and then this happened the next day." Tu Yingxu pursed his lips, "I will never do business with barbarians again. My chicken coop can't stand such a toss."

Bai Zhi asked hesitantly, "Could it be the barbarians who did it?"

"...Would a barbarian do such a thing?"

"It's not impossible for me to take revenge on you if I can't reach an agreement with you." Bai Zhi said, "Come on, I'll go with you and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."

"that would be great!"

An hour after the sun went down, Bai Zhi and Chu Yunchuan sat cross-legged on the bed and chatted.

"The locals who were watching nearby said that the barbarian seemed to have died of a sudden illness." Chu Yunchuan said, "The resident thought he smelled of feces, and when he complained to the shopkeeper, he happened to hear it, and they started arguing. The barbarian cursed very badly, and the resident hit him a few times, and he suddenly turned blue and fell to the ground and couldn't get up."

"The door of Tu Yingxu's chicken coop was tampered with. She said she was afraid of being harassed by the barbarians, so she took him to the chicken coop once. If the two barbarians were the same person, the barbarians must have remembered the location of the chicken coop and went to tamper with it at night, and came back with a smell of feces. Did the barbarians go out at night?"

"I don't know about that. But even if it was him, why would he let all the chickens go, just to vent his anger?"

"This is a bit strange. If you want to vent your anger, why don't you release all the chickens at night?" Bai Zhi closed her eyes and imagined herself as a barbarian. "If it were me, I would leave a way out like this... It shouldn't be to vent my anger, but to sneak into the chicken coop and do something the next day. I didn't expect that I would die first."

"The barbarian is dead, and there is no evidence."

"Mom hasn't come back yet. When she comes back, let's go ask her about the whole thing. If something happens to Tu Yingxu's chicken, my store will be in trouble. We can't be careless about this." Bai Zhi's head was swollen. She laid back and said weakly, "What on earth are these barbarians trying to do? I rely on my store to support my family. If I can't buy good chickens in the future, I will never forgive them."

Chu Yunchuan comforted her, "Even if I don't open a store, I can still support my family."

"How can they be the same? Oh, by the way, I was so busy talking to you about this that I forgot that today is the day Zhou Shensi will give me dividends." Bai Zhi stood up and sat down at the desk. She pulled out a thick account book from the bookshelf and began to record it carefully. Chu Yunchuan looked behind her and found that it was a savings account book, divided into five major categories, with the names of the four members of the Lin family on it. Bai Zhi wrote a big stroke and added Chu Yunchuan at the end.

Chu Yunchuan: "This is..."

"I will save 10% of the money every month. This amount is for marriage and childbirth, this amount is for seeing a doctor for major and minor illnesses, and this amount can only be withdrawn when you are older. Take out some every month, just as the younger self pays the older self." Bai Zhi counted the money with her fingers, and wrote a bunch of weird symbols that Chu Yunchuan couldn't understand on the account book. She said proudly, "This is the amount of money. How about it? I brought it from my previous life. Even if someone steals the account book, they won't understand anything. Do you want to learn?"

Chu Yunchuan looked eager to hear more details, pointed at one of the ghostly painted symbols and asked, "What does this mean?"

"A pattern is a number. This is one, this is two..."

Prince Jing Qiansui was very smart. He remembered everything Bai Zhi said once, and even wrote a few words on the paper according to Bai Zhi's instructions. He asked, "Did you bring these names from your previous life?"

"That's natural."

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Lin Ruogui called out from outside: "Prince, Azhi, are you asleep?"
