Good luck every time

Every year, many people come to the city from all over the place.

The city walls of the provincial capital are also more imposing than those of the county town.

A three-cent entrance fee is charged per person upon entering the city.

The four people took more than ten cents, which made Li Er very distressed.

But as soon as they came out of the city gate, everyone's thoughts changed!

At the city gate, the first thing you see is a row of imposing two-story buildings.

Li Eryi's eyes widened instantly.

There are not many buildings in the county, but there are quite a few two-story buildings in the capital.

There are even three-story ones.

It seemed new to them, but to Li Ruyi, they were all the same.

The city looked much the same as she remembered.

The changes are not big.

At the city gate, there were people wearing thick cotton coats soliciting customers, and they would approach when they saw wealthier carriages.

However, people like Li Ruyi who drove a donkey cart carrying goods were not the focus of their attention.

Driving and riding horses are not allowed in the city.

Li Ershi came down and pulled the reins, while Li Shiwu and Li Shiliu followed behind and kept an eye on the goods.

Li Ruyi sat in the car to escort it and give orders at the same time.

They had to stay in the inn in the city. Li Ruyi only had an impression of the exact location. She asked people as she walked, and they finally found it when the city gate was about to close.

The inn in the provincial capital was the same as the inn in the county town, with people coming and going and a messy atmosphere.

Li Ershi had been there before, so he felt somewhat familiar with it.

Among the four people, he and Li Ruyi have the highest martial arts skills, so they must act separately.

Li Ruyi brought along Li Shiliu who was more eloquent, leaving Li Shiwu and Li Erji together to watch things.

Such places usually have large bunk beds, and Li Ruyi couldn't find a small single room.

At night, it was very messy.

There was snoring and grinding of teeth, and there was a musty smell from not taking a shower.

Things aside, people are indispensable.

And I don’t know how many days I will have to live like this.

Li Ruyi slipped ten cents into the shopkeeper's pocket and asked him to keep an eye on the small room.

The store owner promised it, but who knows if he will do it.

However, Li Ruyi didn't care. She seemed to want to leave an impression on this person.

Anyone who can open a store in a location like this is likely to be well-informed, so there's no harm in taking the opportunity to chat with them.

The store owner remembered Li Ruyi.

There are not many kids who go out to do business these days.

Moreover, there are even fewer girls, and even fewer girls leading teams.

Li Ruyi is already thirteen years old, and will be fourteen after the Chinese New Year. Because she eats well and has a tall figure, her body shape is completely different from that of a boy.

Some people with discerning eyes can easily see that she is different.

Of course, you can also tell that she is a martial artist!

She took the things out and first went to various grocery stores to sell them.

If you want to sell things like peanut candy all at once, grocery stores are more capable of taking it.

Although the money given will be a little less.

But next year, many families in Sanjia Village will help her grow sugar beets, and the sugar output will only increase in the future.

As long as she is stable, all the grocery stores in the city will be her younger brothers helping her sell goods.

Thinking in this way, nodding and bowing is not something awkward at all.

Li Ruyi has an impression of some stores with good reputation.

She never dealt with some unreasonable bosses or managers behind the scenes.

She would be embarrassed if her goods were stolen.

The requirements put forward by each store are also strange, and the prices do not fluctuate much. There is a Chamber of Commerce in the capital city, which has general regulations on the prices of various items.

Those who violate industry rules will be targeted by their peers.

However, there are all kinds of people. Even a store that Li Ruyi originally remembered to have a good reputation may have bad intentions and maliciously threaten to lower the price.

Fortunately, the person she brought with her was Li Shiliu, and nothing too awkward happened between the two of them.

Li Ruyi walked for a few days and sold most of the sugar and a small amount of charcoal. Then he took Li Shiliu to knock on the doors of wealthy families.

The houses she looked for were those with deep roots and big trees, and their locations were similar to those in her memory.

Of course, some superficial work had to be done. Li Ruyi took Li Shiliu to teahouses and restaurants, and spent very little money to ask people about a lot of things.

Li Shiliu did not think that Li Ruyi was already very familiar with the affairs of the provincial capital, but secretly admired her ability to integrate information.

It is much easier to sell door-to-door than in-store.

Although it takes a long time, the profit is also high.

Although those people did not trust Li Ruyi, the genuine goods were there, so nothing serious happened.

After about seven or eight days, everything Li Ruyi brought was sold.

She found a grain store and bought another cartload of grain.

Several hundred kilograms of food are enough to last for two days.

Of course, these are all Li Ruyi's own. She also accepted some orders for selling charcoal and agreed to deliver the charcoal to their homes ten days later.

Li Ruyi estimated that he would be able to organize a small caravan soon.

It's not that she's swelled.

But the donkey cart had limited carrying capacity. She could neither bring so many supplies nor bring back enough food.

The matter of establishing a caravan is simple but urgent.

When we got back, we found that every household had burned a lot of charcoal.

The quality varies, but the quantity is good.

Li Ruyi's exchange of materials for food could only last for two months, and the heads of each family spread the news. For the sake of survival after two months, everyone cooperated.

Of course, not everyone cooperated. Some really didn't want to burn charcoal, or they felt that Li Ruyi was harming their people again, and the clan leader was too lazy to persuade them.

Anyway, it's two months, and almost one month has passed. If you still have no money to buy food by then, you deserve to starve to death!

When Li Ruyi returned home, he saw a warehouse that was half empty.

It is not entirely true that the food will only last for two months.

Li Ruyi also had to leave a way out for herself.

Li Jixiang is now doing the job of collecting things in exchange for food.

There will still be people who have good connections with her and people who want her to give them more food.

Half a pound of food is enough to save lives, but it may not be enough to keep people fed and clothed.

When the aunt talked about her family's sorrows, she cried a lot.

Li Jixiang has shallow tear ducts, so he starts crying whenever someone else talks to him.

Then she cried even harder than the other person!

But when it comes to food, she has only one thing to say.

"I can't make the decision in my house either. Everything was divided before Ruyi left!"

"I wouldn't dare! No one in the family dares to disobey Ruyi!"

"It's okay. I'll talk to Ruyi about your problem when she comes back. We will definitely help if we can..."

The old ladies wiped their tears and went out, spitting as they left the house.

He cursed in his heart, saying useless nonsense. If he dared to talk to Li Ruyi, who would come to comfort Li Jixiang! ?

None of them are easy to deal with. All my tears are wasted!

The eldest sister cried for more than ten days, and then Li Ruyi came back.

As soon as she came back, those who were crying and howling dispersed and went home with their tails between their legs.

Li Jixiang also breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s so hard to be the pillar of the family!
