Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 124 - 123 Expanding Territory

Gong Ruini was still dazed, her mouth wide open. Yinchen Wood—something you could only see in museums in past lives.

Especially since it’s always behind thick glass, you can’t touch it yourself. Never expected to come so close to such a treasure in this life.

What’s more, her own father actually plans to make them small accessories. Gong Ruini was about to faint.

Zhao Gang gulped wildly, what he wanted to know now was, "Out of all this wood, how many pieces are like this treasure?"

It’s not that Zhao Gang wanted to torture himself, but since he was already so stunned, might as well take it all at once. Instead of getting stimulated today and tomorrow, which would be too much. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Zhao Gang said, if that’s really the case, he would collapse.

Gong Tao noted that people can’t be so greedy, "I’m already beyond thrilled with one, can’t ask for several."

While the more the better, Gong Tao indicated that people’s fortune is limited, and one shouldn’t be too greedy.

"One good one is enough, otherwise it’s too overwhelming for me, but this wood is great, inconspicuous." Zhao Gang suddenly realized, buying wood is really unobtrusive.

If it’s wood that’s been variously camouflaged, no one who isn’t slightly knowledgeable about wood would know.

Moreover, with an expert craftsman here, he definitely would identify them. Even if people saw them bringing home a pile of junk wood, at most they’d laugh, no one would even think about the rumors they don’t want.

Initially, Gong Tao thought Zhao Gang was being sarcastic, but seeing Zhao Gang’s seriousness and thinking back to the previously unimpressive wood, they were indeed inconspicuous.

Perhaps to a fat person, it might just be for a fire. But who knows what’s inside?

"Hmm, I think in the future we could specialize in this. I’ve seen there’s some Camphor Wood in these, which is good, it repels insects." Luckily there’s some dry Camphor Wood, otherwise Gong Tao would worry.

"If there’s a Camphor Wood box, it’d be great, I could break it down." If there’s not much wood, just the existing Camphor Wood would be enough, but for large scale collecting, it’s a bit unreliable.

Camphor Wood box? Zhao Gang thought for a long time, then said, "Nope, we’ll just store it in the cellar, it’s good there."

That’s all they can do. Actually, Gong Tao thought they were overthinking it. This time, he had almost cleared out the junkyard’s wood, who knows if they can collect more next time.

What’s more, good wood doesn’t endlessly gush out like a river.

Ah, Zhao Gang was dumbfounded, listening to Gong Tao’s analysis, his heart was icy cold—why was he so unlucky? Finally finding a way to make money, and it’s not possible.

How could Zhao Gang willingly give up? That’s not his style, "No problem, the nearby county town isn’t far, we can try there."

Zhao Gang insisted they couldn’t miss out. In the cold winter, you need warmth. Wood’s for burning, but if you don’t know, you won’t care, yet knowing it’s valuable, it’s not just burning wood, but burning money.

Definitely a terrible waste, can’t allow such behavior. Zhao Gang considers himself a good guy, he must stop this.

Gong Tao watched Zhao Gang assertively declare that they couldn’t let the treasure disappear, showing various heroic airs, but there was a crucial factor, "Can we really go to the neighboring county to collect these things?"

After all, their actions were loud, and could the neighboring county have such opportunities?

They were only so successful this time due to connections.

Gong Ruini was also dumbfounded. She had thought a lot before, wanting to encourage Gong Tao to go treasure hunting. Zhao Gang got convinced by the wood to change his money-making method.

Moreover, he suggested going abroad actively. It was too smooth, even Gong Ruini felt dizzy.

But her own father’s question was valid. Gong Ruini remembered they had proof when going to the junkyard this time. Without it, could they enter?

"Don’t worry, I can obtain proof." Zhao Gang said it’s not a problem, "You think your brother hangs around here for nothing?"

Zhao Gang felt certain that things outsiders see as challenging were easy for him.

"I’ll sort these out tomorrow, then we’ll set out the day after." Zhao Gang quickly arranged the plans for the next few days.

Geez, this guy was so motivated; money really makes a strong incentive.

No way, leaving the day after tomorrow? Though they had a good haul this time, it’s cold. On the road sitting on the ox cart, even hopping on and off from time to time, she still felt cold, chilly to the core.

"Think of the money, it’s all money."

"Imagine, while we’re resting, several good pieces of wood might have been burned."

Zhao Gang kept painting the picture for Gong Tao, describing the scenario where laziness leads to losing the goods.

They know it’s unlikely, but Gong Tao just felt very unwilling, "Fine, tomorrow I’ll clean the wood and do something for preservation."

Good wood needs maintenance. Even with prior care, in such a poor environment for so long, Gong Tao said a layer of lacquer or tung oil is necessary.

Tung oil? Zhao Gang didn’t have it, but he spun his eyes and immediately thought of where to get it, "Don’t worry, I’ll get it for you tomorrow."

"Great." If he can get proof, then forget about tung oil. Moreover, there’re carpenters here, and some elders plan to make their coffins.

Prepared coffins require upkeep every few years, so tung oil must be around, he just didn’t know.

After eating and drinking heartily, Gong Tao wished to handle the matter but knew that his current state left him unable to do well, not to mention having finished the best things, that was enough.

In fact, Gong Tao not going to clean the wood also had another reason, his wife’s spirits were low. The objects were good, but his daughter-in-law was more important.

Gong Ruini actually wanted to sleep early. She was exhausted, especially with today’s huge gains, making her feel very tired.

Gong Ruini didn’t understand why she was so tired. Clearly, the physical activity wasn’t much, plus returning home, she slept all the way.

Gong Ruini’s tired expression made Cai Meina very worried, "Did our girl exert herself today?"

"No." Gong Tao hadn’t considered, his daughter so young, of poor health, how could she be exhausted?

Ah, then why does she seem so tired? Cai Meina didn’t believe it, "Don’t take Ni Zi out in the future."

Going out once and being this worn out, what if traveling far, would their daughter be okay? Cai Meina didn’t dare gamble.
