Chapter 298 – Seeds

“You have a way?”

“Yes.” Purple Butterfly nodded her head, and then said, “I took a look at this baby’s swaddling fabric, which is not the usual cloth on the market, but a thin piece of golden silk that stopped living more than 60 years ago. The pattern embroidered on the cloth is the Nine Dragons Playing Rose, which is the lost work of the Chinese embroidery master ‘Yuan Fang’ from 150 years ago. It was handmade too, so it could be seen that the owner of the imitation was skilled. The value of the swaddling itself should be around 5000 yuan. The fact that such a valuable piece of cloth could be used as a swaddling showed that the person who abandoned the baby was not the same person who gave it a swaddling. The person who discarded the baby had a lower vision and didn’t know the value of the swaddling. As long as the people of Passenger Transport Center publicize that they found Yuan Fang’s legacy worth 1 million in the Passenger Transport Center, they would be able to fish out that abandoned baby. ”

Everyone was stunned by Zi Die’s words.

“Are you sure?”

“Eighty percent chance of success. Abandoned babies don’t usually abandon their babies in their own cities, and their urine is not wet enough to absorb, so I conclude that the baby hasn’t changed his diaper for at least four hours, a time gap that’s long enough to run from Wuhan to Chicken County. I guessed that the abandoned baby must be a foreigner who took the long distance train from Wuhan to Jiguang County. She should take the long distance train back to Wuhan after confirming that the baby was taken away. As long as we spread the news of Yuan Fangyi’s discovery in the Passenger Transport Center, that abandoned baby should be able to bring the baby back with the baby. ”

Of course, the people of Passenger Transport Center still half-believed and half-doubted in Zi Die’s plan. Zi Die did not force them to agree, she only gave them some suggestions.

After providing our advice, Zi Die and us left the long-distance Passenger Transport Center, because by then it would be 6: 30 PM, and it would be impossible for us to reach Wu Han tonight.

“Hey, Zi Die, are you sure that the person who abandoned the baby was stupid enough to admit that he was the person who abandoned the baby? Even if it was a baby, it was still worth it. “But if you are found out that you are an abandoned baby, you will end up in prison and face a lawsuit.”

“Of course, the abandoned baby wouldn’t be that stupid. She would definitely explain that she temporarily put the baby in the car while she was in the toilet to ease her tummy. However, at least her plan to abandon the baby failed. ” Purple Butterfly faintly smiled, a trace of confidence still at the corner of her mouth. “The reason I abandoned a baby is because I didn’t have money. Once I found a valuable baby, why wouldn’t that abandoned baby pick it up?”

As I looked at the faint smile on the corner of Zi Die’s mouth, I realized that I was really unable to see through this peerless beauty …

In her eyes, there seemed to be no secrets left. She knew everything, and her vision was wide like a living dictionary of the The World of Women, making people unable to read her words.

Because of a baby, I once again missed the opportunity to catch a flight back to Santan City in Wuhan tonight. Passenger Transport Center arranged for us to go to Wuhan in our new car, although we didn’t charge any extra fees, but when we arrived at Wuhan, it was already past 9 pm.

And since noon, we haven’t eaten anything. When we arrived at the northern station of the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, the three of us were already starving.

At the very least, once I get to Wuhan, it means I won’t be far from Wuhan Airport. Tomorrow, I can definitely get on the plane to Santan City!

“It looks like I won’t be able to get on the plane tonight no matter what. Why don’t we find a place to settle our hunger and lodging? ” Zi Die smiled and suggested as she looked at the sparse shadows of Wu Han Station.

“Whatever.” Towards Zi Die, I was still average. After all, a person of unknown origins and great ability couldn’t help but make you wary. “Are you planning on leaving with us?”

“I went in all directions, but there was no fixed place to go. The only reason you came to Wuhan is because you have some tourist attractions that I like. ” Zi Die smiled faintly, but there was nothing in her smile that could arouse anyone’s suspicions. This woman is very understated, but I know she must be old. Being with this kind of woman for too long, I’m afraid of falling into her pit. I really wanted to turn around and leave, but it was already past 9 PM. We should first find a place to stay and then settle down to eat and sleep.

After walking around the station for a while, we checked the hotel prices nearby and saw that they were 250 for one night. This was simply extortion. At that time, my total assets were less than 300. Adding on the dinner and breakfast I would have to eat tomorrow, I’m afraid that once I stayed at this hotel, I would go bankrupt.

“The hotels near the train station are indeed expensive. How about we buy some food for ourselves?”

Zi Die knew from my mouth that my bank card was damaged and I only had less than 300 yuan left, so she suggested we rent a room for the night. Because it was much cheaper than a hotel, only 90 yuan a night, and the three of us could stay together. Even more convenient was that the daily rental house was not as chaotic and lustful as the hotel I stayed in the day before yesterday, and it was much quieter, so I agreed.

Although she was very wary of Zi Die, if she really plotted against me, there would be too many opportunities for her to do anything to me. At this point, she didn’t need to lie to me anymore.

“Make your own dishes?”

“My craftsmanship is still so-so, if you don’t mind, you can try my craftsmanship.” Zi Die smiled at me. Her smile was so sweet.

Because of Purple Butterfly’s suggestion, the three of us went to a nearby snack bar to buy some frozen food and a small bag of rice. Afterwards, we rented a house for a day at park, an apartment near the station.

Renting a room daily was indeed much more cost-effective than a hotel. The three of us would only be staying in three bedrooms, one living room, and one night for 90. Moreover, there was a complete supply of water and water.

It was not easy to find a place to stay in at night, and after interacting with her for a while, I discovered that Zi Die was a very meticulous and frugal woman. She would not spend a single cent on places that she shouldn’t. However, she is very generous where we have to spend money. She was the one who invited us for dinner. Of course, we shared the money for the daily rent.

The The World of Women’s house was indeed much cheaper than the 21st century’s. While renting the house, I specifically asked the female landlady whose face was covered with pockmarks about it. The landlady told me that the apartment in the vicinity of the train station was only 1500 square meters, which was ridiculously low compared to the 21st century. If this price were placed in the 21st century, it would definitely be enough to make most men cry in happiness.

Coming into the living room, I was even more satisfied. The apartment was everything, three bedrooms, one living room, and a couch, bed, TV and computer. It was definitely worth it to think that I could live here for 90 yuan a day and night.

“The point is, there’s usually no one to rent it. Judging by the thickness of the dust accumulated under the chandelier and sofa, it should have been unoccupied for at least one and a half months. ” Zi Die walked around the living room and made this judgment, “It’s indeed a pity to have such a fine decoration. And with the current real estate outlook, the increase here is at most 3 to 5 per cent. ”

The population of The World of Women was 1 billion less than that of the 21st century, and thus, the area of the land was basically unchanged. As a result, there were many more empty buildings, and according to Qing Han, there had been a financial crisis in the The World of Women a few decades ago, and at that time, the country even came up with a series of revival policies to support the building industry, in order to provide jobs for the women workers who were laid off from work, stabilizing the social order. At that time, the property market was very busy, and the price of the prices kept rising, but even though this temporarily alleviated the oversupply of labor, it led to a rise in the national housing prices.

Although there were many apartments now, most of them were empty. A ten-story building might only have one or two floors of occupants. Most of the remaining floors were shelved.

At the end of the day, there would be such a problem because of the population.

In other words, because the population of the The World of Women was in a state of negative growth, resulting in the total population of the society constantly decreasing, and the buildings becoming more and more surplus, it could also be said to be the inevitable result.

Of course, this was all in the future.

Anyway, that night, Zidie personally chose some cheap, tasty, and nutrient-rich vegetarian dishes to cook for us at the kitchen counter of the daily rental house.

“I’ll make the Wuchang fish ham. I’ll have to trouble the two of you to cook. If you have your own specialties, you can also show off your culinary skills. “Of course, our dishes are limited, so we can only use the limited ingredients to use our imagination.” Purple Butterfly wore a short-sleeved shirt with an apron from a day’s rent tied around her waist. A beautiful bow was tied behind her back. She stood there gracefully with her purple hair flowing. She was like a conch girl, pleasing to the eyes.

“Master, I will do it! I want to help too! ” Little White, who had never cooked before, jumped out when he saw that we were going to cook.

“Silly girl, I should be thankful if you can clear out the salt, sugar and vinegar sauces. “You go away, don’t disturb me.” I mocked Lil ‘White.

“No problem, just let Lil ‘White do it.” I can see she’s in a good mood. ” Zi Die gently smiled and said, “I don’t mind at all.”

“Thank you, Big Sister Zi Die!” Hearing that Zi Die agreed, Xiao Bai was overjoyed and immediately went to cook with her. Even though it was called cooking, it was actually just to help Zi Die get the ingredients.

When I saw that Zi Die and Xiao Bai were so good, I felt a little unhappy in my heart, but I also went to make my own rice.

“Little White, please help me get some vinegar!”

“Little White, please find some coarse salt!”

“Little White, please find some chili seeds!”

When Zi Die cooked, she was very focused. She had to check every detail herself, as if she was playing chess. Thus, the task of taking the ingredients was handed over to Xiao Bai.

“Pepper seeds? “But where are the chili seeds? Right, Master’s bag has them.” However, when she heard about the chili seeds, she was stunned, as if she couldn’t find them. In the end, she suddenly had a bright idea and ran into my plastic bag, then took out a small handful of acacia fruit seeds that I brought from Yunnan.

Little White’s action was only known to me later, but by the time I found out, it was already too late.
