Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Okay, I don't mind the money. Give me one."

The female comrade was also very straightforward and took out the money immediately. Shi Yan also lifted the cover on the basket and generously let people pick one for themselves.

The female comrade felt that she had spent her money, so she naturally picked the largest clod of earth. After picking up the clod of earth, she accidentally touched the mat under the basket and found that it was also warm. Obviously, there was something underneath, so she subconsciously asked another question.

"What's that thing down there? It feels soft."

"The following are all two-grain flour pancakes, which are made by our family using flour ground by ourselves. They are filled with scallion salt and are very fragrant."

Shi Yan was telling the truth. She didn’t know how Gu Zhen seasoned the food or kneaded the dough, but the food he made was softer and more salty and fragrant than that of others.

"You said it so well, then give me one too. I'll have something sweet and something salty to combine, and that's just right."

People wanted to buy, so Shi Yan also sold them, but the price was much more expensive than sweet potatoes, 6 cents each. The female comrade handed over the money and the goods. Shi Yan earned 9 cents in the time it took to eat a sweet potato.

But this is not the end yet, because Gu Zhen didn't know how long it would take to sell all the things he had on hand today. He was worried that his younger brother, sister-in-law and mother would not have enough to eat, so he made a lot of things and put them next to the stove, and they also brought a lot out.

So soon, those who had been greedy for a long time in the alley saw that the things in other people’s baskets could be sold, and they all came over.

Some people, like that female comrade, exchanged for money, and of course some people wanted to exchange for the things they brought with them.

However, Shi Yan only took a fancy to the man selling chicks, so she took two pancakes and exchanged them for two chicks.

Shi Yan was worried that the chicks would die before she took them home, so she gave her few supernatural powers to the two chicks and then stuffed the chicks into her pocket.

The noise of "exchanging" cakes at the entrance of the alley was so loud that some old ladies who were taking an early morning walk nearby saw it and came over.

But these old ladies are reluctant to buy simple things like cakes and sweet potatoes for themselves to eat, so they want to find out if there are any refined grains so that they can buy them back to nourish their grandchildren.

Shi Yan naturally led people to Gu Zhen quickly, and also sold a lot of Shen Nanci's chestnuts.

When it was completely light, Gu Zhen and Shen Nanci had sold all the things in their backpacks, but Shi Yan's basket was full of biscuits and sweet potatoes, which she protected carefully, and finally kept some food for Gu Zhen.

The three of them walked around the alley for a few times, found a way back to the street and then separated. Shen Nanci had to go buy medicine, while Shi Yan and the others were preparing to hurry home to avoid getting the chicks in their pockets damaged.

Now in the village, every household is allowed to raise two hens, and the hens of Gu Zhen's family had been sold at a low price before Shi Xiaoman got married because they lacked money to buy medicine. She was going to make up for the lack of these two chickens so that she could eat eggs in the future.

As long as her supernatural powers recover a little, it would be very easy for her to let the two hens lay five eggs a day.

Gu Zhen was busy weighing things for people all morning and hadn't eaten anything. Now, as he was eating the pancakes that Shi Yan left for him, the smile on his face never stopped.

"Brother Zhen, I sold all the rations you prepared today. Are you angry?"

"I'm not angry. What's there to be angry about? People are willing to buy it, which means they like it and think my cooking is good. I'm so happy!"

"I didn't expect selling food could make so much money! If I had known, I should have done more!"

"Wife, this is the first time I know how easy it is to make money."

Gu Zhen kept laughing foolishly, and Shi Yan let him laugh, even though he made 8 cents from selling pancakes and sweet potatoes today after deducting the cost, it was really very little in Shi Yan's eyes.

But 8 cents converted into centimeters in the village is enough to match what a young and middle-aged man can earn in a day's work in the fields.

Compared to working in the fields, selling food is the real way to make money easily.

Both of them returned to the village in a good mood. Originally, Gu Zhen had taken a day off to go to the town. Coming back so early today, he felt a little bored staying at home.

After chopped all the firewood in the backyard, he helped Shi Yan build a chicken coop, and also built a simple pavilion in the yard according to Shi Yan's request.

Finally, with nothing to do, she ran into the kitchen and started kneading the dough and mixing the stuffing. It made quite a noise, and Shi Yan couldn't sit still anymore, so she simply stood at the kitchen door.

"Brother Zhen, we haven't even finished eating the pancakes you made earlier, what are you going to do now?"

When Gu Zhen was asked, his face turned a little red, but he still expressed his thoughts.

"Wife, I think this food sells well, so I want to make some more and take it to the city to buy tomorrow."

"As for the village, I don't need to ask for leave. With today's experience, even if I go to the city tomorrow, it won't delay my return to the village to work."

Gu Zhen didn't mind selling things, and Shi Yan was of course happy. But Shi Yan felt that the reason why there was such a big commotion today and she was selling things at the alley entrance and was not caught by the people wearing armbands was entirely because of the heroine.

But if Gu Zhen goes again tomorrow, without the halo of the heroine, a tall and big man like Gu Zhen will be such an obvious target. If someone wearing an armband comes over, he will definitely catch him.

"Brother Zhen, I don't mind going to the black market to make some money, but we were lucky today. We made such a big noise without being discovered."

"But if we run into those red/xiu/zhang tomorrow, we will be shot for speculation!"

Gu Zhen was stunned by what Shi Yan said. His brain, which had been a little hot, suddenly calmed down. Everything went too smoothly today, and he even forgot that speculation is illegal.
