Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 377: The No. 1 Village in the World

Milk Tea vividly described the scene inside the tomb: "There really were zongzi in the tomb! The zongzi tore the people to pieces."

Zhao Qiaoniang and Mrs. Bai were confused. What kind of rice dumplings?

Lin Wanwan didn't expect that there would be rice dumplings in the tomb. She always thought it was something made up in novels.

Facts have proved that novels reflect reality.

Mrs. Bai picked up the gold bars on the ground and put all the candies back into the tomb. She went back and forth four times before it squeaked a few times.

Milk tea translated: "We can go home now..."

There are still many things in the tomb, but Naitang and the others know that it is dangerous inside and dare not go in.

When they were about to go back, they suddenly heard a shrill cry from behind them.

They turned around suddenly and saw dozens of figures rushing out of the tomb frantically.

Several of them were covered in blood, and the people behind them were running wildly and shouting in fear.

Mrs. Bai had no time to distinguish true from false. She waved her hands anxiously, "Let's go!"

Taking advantage of the confusion, they climbed onto the carriage and Cheese ran straight into the village.

Mrs. Bai and Zhao Qiaoniang were so frightened that they were shaking all over. When they returned to the mountain stronghold, they were still in shock.

Zhao Qiaoniang asked in panic, "Mother, did you see it clearly? Those dozens of people, not even the skin on their bodies was gone!"

Mrs. Bai couldn't help but tremble when she thought of that horrifying scene:

"Yes, I don't know what caused it, and I don't know what happened in this tomb!

This tomb is so scary. We must never go to such a place again.

Did you hear that? No one is allowed to go there from now on, and you are not allowed to bring Wanwan out!"

Milk candy, milk tea, and milk cap all lowered their heads. How could they know that tomb robbing would be so dangerous?

But fortunately, this time I gained a lot.

After returning to the mountain village, Lin Wanwan lay on the bed, her mind full of the horrific scenes she had seen during the day, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

I finally fell asleep, but I had nightmares all over. In my dreams, I saw people covered in blood and without skin, rushing towards me with bared fangs and claws.

She struggled desperately in her dream, and her bedding was soaked with cold sweat.

When she finally woke up from the nightmare, sunlight was already pouring into the house through the window. When she looked at the sky, she found that it was already the afternoon of the next day.

In the afternoon, Xiao Sun hurried over and said as soon as he entered the door: "The procedures for those shops have been completed. If you want to open a shop, you can open it at any time."

He lowered his voice again and said:

"Do you know that something big happened yesterday?

Many merchants from the Parthian Empire died, and only dozens of them came back alive. Their skin was all gone and they died soon after.

A few were frightened to the point of insanity, talking nonsense.”

Upon hearing this, Master Bai couldn't help but stroke his beard, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "What? Is there such a thing?"

Xiao Sun nodded vigorously:

"Yeah! I don't know what happened last night. Those people came back covered in blood.

The innkeeper was so frightened that he reported the incident."

This time, the Parthian Empire really lost both the wife and the army, and Xiao Sun went back soon.

Mrs. Bai looked at the deeds of these shops, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose up in a smile.

Madam Bai looked at Qiao Niang and said:

“These two shops are in excellent locations, and I plan to convert this slightly larger one into a dedicated embroidery workshop.

One shop specializing in cloth and one shop selling ready-made clothes, what do you think?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her and said, "But where can we get the cloth?"

Mrs. Bai smiled and said:

“In our village, there are talented people who came from the weaving workshop.

They used to be officials in weaving workshops, specifically responsible for weaving, and knew the ins and outs of weaving like the back of their hand.

From material selection to loom operation to pattern design, every link is mastered with utmost proficiency.

With their guidance, the cloth we weave ourselves might even be better than the ones we import from outside!"

Zhao Qiaoniang didn't expect this. Mrs. Bai called over a dozen officials who had worked in the weaving workshop.

An elderly official in the lead asked, "Madam, you came to us specifically to give us some instructions?"

Mrs. Bai smiled and said:

"I know that you are all talented people who came from weaving workshops and are very knowledgeable about weaving.

I assume you are very proficient in selecting materials and operating looms. But do you know how to make a loom?"

The official cleared his throat and said:

“Madam, the weaving workshop can weave gorgeous cloth thanks to the jacquard loom.

This jacquard machine is not simple. It is huge in size and has an extremely complex structure.

But I have a blueprint of a jacquard machine here, I'll show it to you when I get back."

The official quickly took out a drawing of a loom and a jacquard machine and said:

“My ancestors have been in the weaving business for generations and are familiar with the structure of these two machines.

When my family suffered an unexpected incident and their house was searched, I didn't take anything else but these two drawings which I hid close to my body and brought out.

Over the years, I have been looking forward to the opportunity to use them again."

Lin Wanwan took a closer look and saw a drawing that detailed the structure of the loom, with each component clearly marked.

From the sturdy wooden frame to the delicate shuttle and heald frame, everything shows the ingenuity of the craftsmen.

The jacquard loom on the other drawing was even more complicated. Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "If I ask you to do it, can you make these two looms?"

The official quickly waved his hand and said:

“I’m not a carpenter, so I can’t do it.

But if there is a carpenter who can work with me, this loom can definitely be made."

Mrs. Bai nodded and said, "Of course. The carpenter has two very good people under him. Let them help you when the time comes."

The official nodded quickly and went back.

Mrs. Bai hugged Lin Wanwan and said:

"It's not an easy task for us to feed so many people now, and we need to plan ahead.

My idea is that there are many people in our village who have some skills, and they also have to contribute to our village.

Who knows, our village might become the best village in the world in the future!"

Lin Wanwan looked at Mrs. Bai and always felt that she was so great.

This was in ancient times, when women's cognition was not as good as men's.

But what Mrs. Bai did made her feel like a time traveler.

Mrs. Bai smiled and said:

"Okay, let's start packing! All the herbs have been prepared.

Once we have sorted out our things, we will set off for Bianjing."

There were so many things to choose from that the village was bustling with activity.

Everyone had a clear division of labor, some were responsible for carrying, some were responsible for sorting, and the shouts and footsteps were intertwined.

Several men carefully counted the bundles of dried medicinal herbs and loaded them onto the carriage. There were ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, as well as common but effective honeysuckle and bupleurum.

In just a short while, three full carts of medicinal herbs were sorted out, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
