When he woke up, Ren Baqian had already returned to his newly rented bedroom.
He walked around upstairs and downstairs. He was the only one there, and it felt a little lonely. It couldn't be compared to the liveliness on the other side.
Although he wasn't short of money for the time being and living on this side was more comfortable, he had a greater sense of existence on the other side.
This was because he was unique there.
On Earth, he was just one of the masses and didn't stand out in any way.
As he lamented, he charged his phone.
He switched on the computer. The 34-inch monitor was much better than his original 21-inch monitor. After watching a movie, he switched on his phone and saw that there were two missed calls.
His former colleagues had all become passersby.
Both of these missed calls were from Chen Qing.
After thinking about it, Ren Baqian wasn't in a hurry to return the call. It was such a coincidence that it happened to be ten days each time.
After going downstairs for breakfast, Ren Baqian came back and switched on his computer to check on the planting of sweet potatoes.
After reading it once, he had a rough idea of what to do. He drove to the supermarket to buy more than ten kilograms of sweet potatoes, beer, snacks, and the like before returning home.
Just as he opened the door, Ren Baqian heard voices in the house.
"Thief?" This thought flashed through Ren Baqian's mind. He immediately remembered that it should be the housekeeper.
The person inside also heard the sound of the door opening. The voice stopped abruptly. Then, a girl in her twenties wearing an apron peeked in and quickly retracted her head.
"Someone's here. Auntie, is this the owner of the house?" Ren Baqian vaguely heard this voice.
Following that, a middle-aged woman came out. When she saw Ren Baqian, she smiled and said, "Mister Ren, you are back."
Ren Baqian had seen her at the housekeeping company before, but only once.
"Yes, I am back. You guys continue with your work, don't worry about me." Ren Baqian smiled. He wasn't used to being addressed as mister just now, but it felt pretty good.
He placed the things beside the sofa in the living room, lay on the sofa, and switched on the television. It was a new period drama, but Ren Baqian's mind wasn't on the screen.
In one moment, he was thinking about the black mud cream. In the next moment, he was thinking about the other world. In the next moment, he was thinking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Suddenly, he thought about the fan and the shop. He hurriedly went out and drove around. First, he looked for a private jewelry shop.
"Do you have money?"
"Yes, what do you want? A necklace or a ring? "
"Just buy some silver and melt it into small pieces." After Ren Baqian finished speaking, that person was obviously not interested anymore.
But, he still asked, "How much?"
Ren Baqian did some calculations. Silver wasn't expensive on Earth, but its purchasing power was still acceptable in that world. Originally, 80 taels was enough for 4000 grams, but it was not a bad idea to buy more.
"Fifty kilograms of silver" Ren Baqian was.
50 jin was 500 taels, 25000 grams was only 100,000 yuan.
"Ren Baqian" Ren said. from Ren Ren.
At this time, after deducting the money for renting a house, buying a car, and transferring money to his mother, he still had 700,000 to 800,000 yuan in his bank card. He didn't care about this money much.
When the boss heard 50 catties, he immediately became more enthusiastic.
Fifty catties of silver was equivalent to twenty-five kilograms. Even if he earned a little less, it was still a sum of money.
Ren.. although, he, I, I, I, I, I I I able. there. I, I, I. he money. I Baqian... being..
"Ren.... Baqian. was...., on... of. of. I of. being, I on. he..
Ren Baqian paid the deposit and got the receipt. He agreed to melt the silver into small pieces and collect it two days later.
Then, he bought a yo-yo and a hand-cranked fan to study. He wanted to see how he could make a reliable fan under such simple conditions.
When he returned, the two housekeepers had already left. The house was clean and tidy.
Ren Baqian heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the yo-yo and the hand-cranked fan and disassembled them to see how to make a fan.
After studying for a few hours, he had a rough idea. He just had to find someone to make it and see if it was as he expected.
The next day, Ren Baqian sat in front of the computer and read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He recalled some of the blurry scenes.
On the third day, he called Chen Qing.
"Did you go into seclusion again?" Chen Qing asked the moment he picked up the call.
"It's about the formula for the black mud cream. That person lives in a remote place in the mountains. I called you back as soon as I got back." Ren Baqian apologized.
However, he knew in his heart that he wouldn't be able to contact Chen Qing so frequently in the future. This was because his days in that world were too stable. Every time, he would stay in this world for three days and then disappear for nine days.
"How is it? Did you get the formula?" Chen Qing asked.
"Not yet, but soon."
"Let's go out to have some fun tonight?"
"Let's have dinner. I won't be going to the bar." Ren Baqian shook his head.
After arranging a time with Chen Qing, he searched for herbs on the internet for a few hours and prepared to exchange them for the black mud cream. Since ordinary people had never seen snow in that world, Ren Baqian guessed that it was subtropical. Ren Baqian then searched for a few herbs that appeared frequently and were difficult to cure. He memorized them.
Then, he went to buy a bunch of spices. Sichuan pepper, Chinese anise, sesame, cumin, cinnamon, monosodium glutamate, and thirteen spices. He bought a big bag of them.
He also specially bought the seeds of Sichuan pepper, Chinese anise, fennel, and cinnamon to plant them in that world. As for the sesame and cumin, they were the seeds. Although Chinese anise was the same, the ones sold in the market had been treated and could no longer germinate and grow.
With these ingredients, Ren Baqian should be able to make delicious food with a similar taste in that world.
After loading the ingredients into the car, he went to collect the silver. 50 kilograms was a lot and all of it was melted into two or three taels of silver.
Ren Baqian did not have time to check the purity of the silver. He paid immediately and carried the silver into the car. Ren Baqian then headed to the restaurant where he had arranged to meet Chen Qing.
After waiting in the car for a long time and playing with his phone for a while, someone knocked on the car window. He turned around and saw Chen Qing waving his hand at him.
Ren Baqian got out of the car and was about to speak when he was stunned. There was a woman beside Chen Qing.
This was very normal. Chen Qing often had different women around him and he had also invited Ren Baqian to dinner. So far, other than Jiang Nan, Ren Baqian had not seen any other woman appear for a second time.
However, this woman surprised Ren Baqian.
It was actually his university classmate, Dong Haiqing.
When Dong Haiqing saw Ren Baqian, her mouth was agape and her expression was obviously very surprised.
"You two know each other?" Chen Qing noticed their expressions and asked with a smile.
"Yes! We are classmates, "Ren Baqian replied with a smile.
During the heavy snowfall, Dong Haiqing had always been the target of many guys and attracted a lot of attention. On the other hand, Ren Baqian was a passerby that no one paid attention to. During their four years in university, the number of words they had exchanged did not exceed one hand. They had never interacted before.
Ren Baqian was just surprised that it was such a coincidence.
On the other hand, Dong Haiqing was even more surprised than him. The reason why she could remember Ren Baqian was because when they were in school, there was a girl who seemed to have a crush on Ren Baqian. After she found out about it, she said, "He doesn't have money, he doesn't have good looks, and he doesn't have a personality. Why did you find someone like him?"
After that, there was naturally no more after that.
Even though Ren Baqian did not know about this, she still remembered it. Because of that incident, she had paid attention to Ren Baqian for a period of time. The impression that he left on her was only one word — ordinary, even more ordinary than ordinary. It was a waste for the girl who shared the same bed to be matched with such a person.
Therefore, when she saw that Chen Qing's friend was actually Ren Baqian, she was naturally very surprised.
Ren Baqian looked the same as when he was in school. There was not much change. His appearance was considered delicate and pretty, and he only had short stubble on his head. He was dressed very ordinarily and his total value might not even exceed 300 yuan.
However, he was driving an Audi A6L, which was worth at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.
Furthermore, he was actually good friends with Chen Qing.
She did not know much about Chen Qing. She only knew that he was a rich second generation and his family was extremely wealthy.
However, Ren Baqian was good friends with him. Furthermore, he was driving such a car. Presumably, he was not simple, right?
Right now, there was only one thought in Dong Haiqing's mind. She had misjudged him in the past.
