Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

The two younger sisters were also full, so when they heard their elder sister say that this was porridge made for Big Brother Chu, they nodded obediently.

"Xingxing, go back to your room and sleep first. Second sister will help eldest sister light the fire!"

Su Mingyue walked over naturally, squatted in front of the stove and started to light the fire.

The porridge was almost done, and Su Qiuyi wanted to let her sister go back and rest together, but then she changed her mind and suddenly remembered something.

His plan to go up the mountain to pick up bargains was completely shattered. Next, he couldn't even open the shop that he bought for one thousand taels of silver. He had to find a way to make money.

She had many ways to make money in her mind, but she remembered that in a novel she had read, the heroine made exquisite cakes and sold them, made a lot of money and married a prince, so she wanted to try it.

Although as long as she asked, Bai Xiaojing would definitely run around all the cake shops and sell her cakes that people in this world couldn't even make.

But Su Qiuyi realized that relying too much on space would not do them any good.

It would be better for her to have the ability to make a living so that she can feel at ease.

Instead of reselling pastries with Bai Xiaojing, it is better to research and make them by myself, so that I will have a basis for selling them when the time comes.

It would be even more troublesome if she resells it and someone finds out that it has no source.

Looking at her sister squatting there and making a fire, Su Qiuyi asked casually, "Yueyue, can you make cakes?"

Su Mingyue was choked by her sister's words, looked up at her sister, and shook her head, "No, but I can steam buns!"

She thought her sister wanted to eat cakes, so she immediately suggested, "Sister, add some sugar to the flour, and the steamed buns will definitely taste good!"

She thought, pastries are sweet, so if we put sugar in steamed buns the taste would be similar, right?

Su Qiuyi took a deep breath. She must be crazy to ask her sister. Although she couldn't do it herself, didn't she still have Bai Xiaojing? Why not ask her to make a few tutorials for her and learn slowly?

Nodding, "Got it! It's almost cooked, you can go back and have a rest! I'll be back soon after I deliver the porridge!"

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the pot, scooped out a large bowl of porridge, and took out a plate of chopped pickles.

When she went in, Chu Mingxiao was looking out the door and seemed to be hungry.

"Let's eat!" Su Qiuyi put the porridge and pickles on the square table in Chu Mingxiao's room, turned around to take a look, resignedly walked over and helped him walk to the table.

Chu Mingxiao looked at the porridge on the table and raised his eyebrows. It was not white porridge, but smelled quite fragrant.

He was really hungry. The smell outside was so delicious that he felt hungry even if he wasn't.

Pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

"Okay, you continue eating. I'm leaving now!" Su Qiu saw that the person was eating very happily, so he said and was about to leave.

Chu Mingxiao quickly grabbed the arm of the little girl who passed by him and quickly swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Wait..." He said two words hurriedly.

My throat was almost burned, the mutton porridge was really hot.

"Anything else?" Su Qiuyi turned his head in confusion.

"Well, I have something to tell you!" Chu Mingxiao thought a lot and finally decided to speak out.

Su Qiuyi walked around to the opposite side of the table with interest and sat down.

She had never expected that it was already dusk and it was inappropriate for her to be in the same room with a man from another room.

"Speak now! What is it?"

He sat down and urged me with a curious look on his face.

Chu Mingxiao organized his words in his mind and whispered, "I am the eldest son of Duke Dingguo Chu Yuenan, and I have been granted the title of Duke Dingguo's Heir!"

Su Qiuyi raised an eyebrow, "I know! You said it!"

"He is also a Major General of a Thousand Households!"

Hmm... never heard of this.

Su Qiuyi slowly digested the news in his mind, and then he was a little confused about what the position of Major General of a Thousand Households was.

It seemed that the hierarchy of this world was somewhat different from what she knew.

Isn't it something like the General of the Cavalry? What is the Major General of a Thousand Households?

She looked at Chu Mingxiao with a puzzled look.

"My father is the great general of Dingguo with a hundred thousand households!"

He was not in a hurry and let Su Qiuyi digest it slowly.

Su Qiuyi seemed to understand the meaning of thousands of households, but he didn't seem to understand it, so he asked, "Are the thousands of households, tens of thousands of households, and hundreds of thousands of households you mentioned referring to the size of your power? Or the number of soldiers under your command?"

Chu Mingxiao's eyes lit up. It was really not easy for a little peasant girl to guess the meaning of something just by hearing it.

He did not hesitate to explain, "You are almost right. The number of troops in one's hands is also a symbol of power!"

Su Qiuyi curled her lips and said, "That means that a major general of a thousand households is not a very high position! There are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of households above you..."

Chu Mingxiao was stunned for a moment, surprised that the little girl's focus was on this.

He quickly said, "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is my mission this time! There is a traitor in the army, who joined forces with foreign enemies to steal food and grass. If we don't get them back, it will become an irreversible situation! I tracked them all the way to Qinghe Town, but I heard that the food and grass were lost. I suspected that there was something strange in Qinghe Mountain, but there are many secret sentries in Qinghe Mountain. They will not interfere with the nearby people going up the mountain to hunt, so I thought of taking you up the mountain and pretending to go hunting."

"But don't worry, as long as the Qinghe Mountain bandit's lair is not discovered, those secret guards will not do anything to the nearby villagers! I didn't mean to take you into a dangerous place on purpose! I know you will be fine, and I have also arranged people to watch around you. If anything goes wrong, they will bring you back intact!"

As Chu Mingxiao explained further, he became more anxious.

Looking at Su Qiuyi's gloomy face, he was glad that he had spoken out about the matter.

Chu Mingxiao was explaining, and Su Qiuyi finally knew the whole story and understood everything. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.

It turned out that she had spent an entire afternoon in front of so many secret sentries. Maybe the swords of those secret sentries were pointed at the five of them many times?

I break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

But this was not what she was most concerned about. After Chu Mingxiao finished speaking, she cleared her throat and asked:

"So, are the bandits who kidnapped my aunt and me the ones you're looking for?"

She asked through gritted teeth.

If they were just bandits, she might understand that they had to occupy the mountain and become the king due to their livelihood. Who could say anything if they did it based on their abilities?

But from this perspective, those people were not bandits at all, but thieves who robbed the soldiers on the front line of their food and supplies. They were traitors, and this made her grit her teeth.

She wanted to avenge both the national hatred and the family feud.

"Yes, the leader was called Big Beard. From what I have learned, he was the second in command of the Qinghe Mountain gang. He was in charge of many things. It was Big Beard who injured me outside Yuzhou City. He also colluded with foreigners. His identity is not simple."

Su Qiuyi clenched his fists and said, "I can blow him away with a bomb. Isn't that easy?"

When a person is furious, he has no control over what he says.

Chu Mingxiao frowned, thinking about the little girl's heroic words, and after thinking about it, he asked.

"A bomb? What is that?"

He had never heard of this kind of weapon. Is it really as powerful as the little girl said?

Su Qiuyi realized what she had said, but it was too late. She covered her mouth and her eyes wandered.
