Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 113: Long Awaited Rain ( 2 )

As soon as she heard the system’s information, Yao Zhi’s eyes flickered for a moment. It turned out that the items she bought from the System Shop were sold by other Hosts. No wonder the number of items available in the shop was changing every day.

With this thought, she clicked on the promotion deal and saw that she only needed to pay 5 points for 3 packs of steamed buns and get a bonus of 2 packs.

This promotion was equal to a 50% discount because the price of a pack of steamed buns was 1 point now, while the normal price was 2 points per pack.

At first, she only wanted to buy 2 packs. Now that there was a promotion, she should buy more. She wanted to buy all the stock, but when she clicked the maximum amount, she could only buy 300 packs for each type.

Although there was a limit, 300 packs were already a lot since she had a bonus of 200 packs. There were a total of 14 types of steamed buns. She bought all types, totaling 7,000 packs, and spent a total of 7,000 points.

Each pack had 10 pieces. At this moment, she had a total of 70,000 pieces of buns with various fillings, both savory and sweet.

Since she bought a lot of steamed buns, she took 1 Da Bao out. The moment she saw the size, she was shocked.

Da Bao was usually 2 times larger than normal buns, but the one she held was as big as a large bowl. If someone told her that this Da Bao was used for an eating competition, she would believe it.

Yao Zhi knew that she couldn’t finish it, so she used a knife and cut it into 4 portions. She ate 1 portion and put the rest into her System Storage.

She ate the steamed bun and drank a cup of milk. Her body was still in the growing stage, and she needed to drink milk so she could grow taller.

After breakfast, she watered the garden before harvesting some vegetables for sale. While she was busy working in her garden, in the faraway Lanhe City, people were rejoicing over the long-awaited rain.

At this moment, a large crowd of people was kneeling on the roadside, in the middle of the road, and some even ran out from houses and stores to kneel under the rain.

"Heaven still blessed our Great Yan!"

"After 4 years, the rain is finally here!"

"It’s raining! It’s really raining!"

One after another, they shouted while crying in gratitude. Even the young Magistrate of Lanhe City was kneeling on the road outside the Magistrate’s Office.

He raised his hand and gave a deep bow. The sound of his forehead knocking against the paved road could be heard clearly.

He bowed 9 times before he clasped his hands in salute and said, "I, Lu Linfeng, the Magistrate of Lanhe City, thank the heavens! Heaven bless our Great Yan! Long live the Emperor!"

Behind him, rows of people also knelt and shouted, "Heaven bless our Great Yan! Long live the Emperor!"

Everyone was rejoicing as the rain not only happened in Lanhe City but also in nearby towns and some villages. The heavy rain lasted for several hours before it stopped.

Although the rain was not enough to solve the drought, it was better than nothing. After the rain, the cracked, dried ground finally got some moisture. The rain washed away the dust, and the air was clearer.

After the rain, everyone regained hope. With the summer, they would be able to get an abundant harvest in autumn.

The news of the heavy rain in Lanhe City spread to the nearby cities. When the farmers heard the news, they set up an altar in the village hall and prayed for rain.

Everyone prayed with the mindset of better to do something than do nothing. No one knew the reason, but after they prayed for rain, another heavy rainfall happened in Lanhe City and the surrounding cities and towns.

Although the news of the rainfall spread widely, it didn’t reach Luo City, let alone Zhu’an Town near the northern border.

At this moment, Yao Zhi was on her way to the military barracks. Unlike usual, the donkey cart had a full haul today. Several bamboo baskets were placed on the cart and covered with fabric.

When she arrived at the military barracks, Fu Chen’an had been waiting for her under the tree. Seeing her coming, he waited until the cart stopped before reaching out and carrying her down.

"Wife, you are here," he said as he tied the donkey to the tree.

"Husband, have you been waiting for a long time?" Yao Zhi asked.

Fu Chen’an had been waiting for half an hour, but he didn’t want to worry his wife. So, he shook his head and said, "I just came out."

When he went to get the 3-layered food boxes, he saw the baskets and asked, "Wife, what are these?"

"Oh, that’s the vegetables I planted at home. Some of them were ready for harvest, so I wanted to see if I could sell them in town."

Hearing this, Fu Chen’an lifted the fabric covering the basket curiously. The moment his gaze landed on the vegetables, surprise flashed in his eyes.

The vegetables were not only vibrant in color but also plump and fresh. Although he always told others that his wife grew vegetables at home, this was the first time he saw the vegetables she grew.

After a while, he regained his composure and sat beside his wife on the boulder under the tree. Today, Yao Zhi prepared 4 Da Bao and the leftovers from the morning.

For the side dishes, she made white radish soup, smashed cucumber salad, mapo tofu, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Although the dishes were simple, the portions were generous.

As for the white radish soup, Yao Zhi took a longer time to cook it. Besides using a whole chicken, she also used red dates and goji berries. To retain the natural flavor, she seasoned it only with white pepper and salt.
