Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Jiang Xue shook her head and said helplessly: "It's okay, I was just scared by the little duck." She was so focused on watching the little duck that she didn't notice the little farmer squatting next to her.

The farmer didn't seem to care about Jiang Xue's reaction, and continued excitedly: "Sister Xue, do you really want to raise ducks? They are so cute!"

Jiang Xue smiled helplessly, picked up a duckling, looked at it carefully, and then asked, "Uncle, how much is this duckling?" After asking the price, she picked up another duckling.

The old man selling ducks looked at Jiang Xue and thought she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was. He replied, "Each duck is 20 cents. How many do you want to buy, girl?"

Jiang Xue was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she had not yet decided how many ducks to buy. She thought about it in a dilemma, not knowing how many to buy.

At this moment, the voice of Butcher Zhang came from a distance: "Miss Jiang, you are here to buy ducklings too!" As he spoke, he walked towards Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue saw Butcher Zhang coming over and said in surprise, "What a coincidence! Butcher Zhang, I was just planning to ask you to help me kill a pig."

Butcher Zhang's heart sank when he heard this. He had heard Jiang Xue say that she would let them deliver her pigs in the future, and he thought the business was stable. He didn't expect that Jiang Xue would let them slaughter the pigs. He thought to himself that the change of Miss Jiang was too big, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Butcher Zhang?" Seeing that Butcher Zhang didn't say anything, Jiang Xue repeated it with some doubt.

Butcher Zhang nodded with a wry smile, feeling a little depressed. He originally thought that Miss Jiang would continue to let them send pigs, but unexpectedly she wanted them to kill the pigs. He tried to make his tone sound normal: "Miss Jiang, when will the pigs be killed?"

"Just come back to the village with us today." Jiang Xue replied.

"Okay." Butcher Zhang responded briefly and planned to go back to continue selling meat.

At this time, the duck seller finally remembered the girl in front of him. He patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Girl, look at my memory. It was you who took care of my business last time. My last name is Meng, you can just call me Uncle Meng."

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded, then asked, "Uncle Meng, how many ducklings do you have here?" She was planning to open a processing plant for delicious duck products, so she needed to raise a lot of ducks.

Uncle Meng was a little confused. This was the first time he had encountered someone asking him how many ducks he had. Most people just bought a few. He counted and replied, "There are more than 100 ducks here, and there are 400 to 500 at home, and there are also some duck eggs."

Jiang Xue's eyes lit up and she asked, "I want them all. Can you give me a lower price?"

Uncle Meng looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. Could she really raise so many ducks? He couldn't help but remind her, "Girl, these are 500 ducklings, not 50 or 5."

"Uncle Meng, are you afraid that I can't afford it?" Jiang Xue took out a fifty-liang silver ingot.

Uncle Meng was indeed shocked when he saw Jiang Xue take out a fifty-tael silver ingot.

He was indeed worried that Jiang Xue could not afford so many ducks, but now it seemed that this girl was well prepared. He waved his hand and asked Jiang Xue to take the silver back.

Uncle Meng was shocked when he saw the fifty taels of silver and quickly asked Jiang Xue to take it back.

"Uncle, I will send one hundred geese and five hundred ducklings to Jiang's house on the street later."

''OK''

......

"'Miss Jiang,' Jiang Wanrou took Bi'er to search the street and finally found Jiang Xue and others in the direction of the pier. She walked up to them with a gentle smile on her face, 'Do you like the clothes Miss Jiang gave you last time? If you like them, I will give you a few more next time. Do you have a favorite color?'"

Jiang Xue turned to look at Jiang Wanrou, a little surprised, then she remembered what happened at the last opening, and replied a little embarrassedly: "Oh, it turns out to be Miss Jiang! What clothes? I can't remember clearly."

Seeing this, Chen Yuxi quickly whispered in Jiang Xue's ear: "Miss, it should be the packages delivered last time."

Jiang Xue suddenly realized and slapped her forehead, "Oh, I remember now, there were indeed a few packages last time. Sorry, because I was too busy, I didn't have time to check those packages, so I left them in the store on the street."

Jiang Wanrou smiled sympathetically after hearing this and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can just go get it later. By the way, Miss Jiang, do you have time? Can you accompany me to Fenglou for a visit?"

Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment. Although she had a lot of things to deal with at the moment, such as determining the location of the shop, she couldn't directly refuse Jiang Wanrou's invitation.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xue shook her head and responded apologetically: "I'm so sorry, Miss Jiang, I do have some urgent matters to deal with right now." She frowned slightly, and it was obvious that something in her mind made her feel a little troubled.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanrou was curious and asked softly, "Miss Jiang, are you worried? I'm just asking, don't think too much. If you need help, you can find me. Although I don't have any great skills, I still have some connections in Chuanzhou that I can call on."

Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment and felt that Jiang Wanrou's words were very sincere, so she expressed her worries: "Actually, it's nothing big. It's just that the manager of our pawnshop, Mrs. Wang, was transferred to the county. I went to the pawnshop today to purchase some shops, but the new manager took advantage of his power and bullied me. Not only did he double the prices of all the shops, but his attitude was also very arrogant." Jiang Xue couldn't help feeling a little angry when she said this.

Jiang Wanrou was stunned after hearing this. She didn't expect the new steward to be so arrogant. She immediately thought that this new steward might be the nephew of her steward. He usually looked quite smart, but she didn't expect him to do such a thing.

She decided in her heart to go to the pawnshop herself to take a look. If the manager was really as Jiang Xue said, she would not let him off easily.

So, Jiang Wanrou said to Jiang Xue, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, I'll accompany you to the dental clinic." She planned to personally experience the manager's arrogance and make him pay the price for his behavior.

Jiang Xue nodded gratefully and walked towards the dental clinic with Jiang Wanrou and others.

A quarter of an hour later

The group stopped in front of the pawnshop. Before they entered, they heard frightening sounds of whipping and crying from inside.

Jiang Wanrou's brows were furious. She had originally suspected that there was something wrong with the new manager, but now after hearing these voices, she was sure that her guess was correct.

She was very angry because this job was asked by her housekeeper to help her cousin, but she was very disappointed and angry when this happened. She signaled Bi'er to take action. After receiving the instructions from the lady, Bi'er walked forward quickly and pushed open the half-open door.

Jiang Wanrou lifted her skirt and walked in angrily.

Xiao Liuzi in the pawnshop was whipping someone with a whip. When he heard the door being pushed open, he turned around and whipped someone, but Chen Yuxi quickly grabbed the whip. Jiang Wanrou was thus spared from being whipped.

Seeing this, Bier shouted, "How dare you, man? You are so rude! You dare to hit my lady? Believe it or not, I will make you pay for it!" Her voice was full of majesty and anger, and she was obviously angered by Xiao Liuzi's behavior.

Xiao Liuzi, however, had a dead pig-like expression and said provocatively: "Oh! Then you will take me there now?" He did not seem to be afraid of Bier's threat and even had some provocative tone.

Bi'er stamped her feet in anger. She knew she couldn't deal with such a scoundrel, so she shouted, "Call your manager to come out and tell him that the young lady has arrived!"

Seeing Xiao Liuzi being so arrogant, Jiang Wanrou's anger intensified. She shouted towards the yard, "Jiang Chengyu, get out here!" Her voice was cold and firm, and she could not be questioned.

Jiang Chengyu was lying on the couch in the inner room, enjoying the massage given to him by several pretty women.

Suddenly, one of the women accidentally used too much strength, and Jiang Chengyu slapped her in the face, knocking her to the ground.

There was a trace of blood flowing from the corner of the girl's mouth, and her eyes were full of fear.

Jiang Chengyu's concubine, a woman who fed him grapes, saw this and quickly reminded him, "Manager, someone is looking for you outside."

Jiang Chengyu was startled when he heard the familiar voice and stood up quickly.

He walked out of the bedroom, opened the door and saw that it was his own daughter Jiang Wanrou.

Seeing the situation outside, Jiang Chengyu instantly understood what had happened. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He hurried out and knelt in front of Jiang Wanrou.

"Miss, this is the personal behavior of this evil servant. I will drive him out later." Jiang Chengyu explained while kowtowing. He secretly cursed Xiao Liuzi in his heart. He didn't expect that this kid would actually offend his own lady.
