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

"I'm just curious and asked casually..." Yan Chenhao touched his nose and nodded, promising not to tell the old man nonsense. "Don't worry, when has Big Brother ever hurt you?"

Yan Chenyang nodded in satisfaction, and his elder brother spoke again.

"I saw the flyer you sent out, and I think that sword is pretty good..."

"Two hundred taels of silver! Pay for it yourself! You are very rich!" Yan Chenyang did not give his elder brother any chance to take advantage.

"Okay..." What else can I say? Threatening is useless, so I can only buy it myself.

Fortunately, I planned to buy it when I went out, and I had enough money with me.

It seems that everyone who came today had a purpose. For example, the ladies and young ladies directly took skin care products and cosmetics, while the students in the academy went directly to the bookshelves to buy paper notebooks and books. These two shelves were the fastest selling today.

Although the bow and arrow are good, the price is there and few people can afford it.

Then there were sanitary napkins, but no one bought one.

Su Qiuyi didn't recommend this today, and would do it when there were no men in the shop.

As expected by Su Qiuyi, everything that needed to be sold was sold in the morning. Su Qiuyi arranged a banquet in the restaurant and asked everyone to eat. He stayed alone to look after the shop.

After she calmed down, she was able to sit down and rest. But just after she sat down to rest for a while, a few more people came into the shop. Seeing that there were not many goods left, they left in disappointment.

After a while, another person walked in. Su Qiuyi looked up and was about to say welcome when he saw that it was an acquaintance.

"Lingyu? Why are you here? Do you have another mission?"

The person who came in was none other than Ling Yu, Chu Mingxiao's subordinate.

After dealing with her several times, Su Qiuyi got to know this girl a little better and thought she had a good personality.

"Miss Su, our master asked me to give you a gift for your grand opening. Fortunately, I made it in time."

As he said this, he took out a letter and said, "And this letter."

Su Qiuyi opened the letter and was shocked after reading it.

"How does your young master know what the grocery store sells?" Su Qiuyi couldn't help but ask in a questioning tone.

It was the first time Lingyu saw such a fierce Miss Su. She was frightened for a moment and stammered, not knowing how to explain.

Is she going to say that the young master has sent guards to protect us?

Subconsciously, I felt that I shouldn't say it. Although the young master didn't specifically tell me not to say it, but looking at the look in Miss Su's eyes, I knew that if I said it, she would definitely be angry.

"You're lying! How could he know everything about me? Did you send someone to monitor me?"

Su Qiuyi is not a fool. If he can't guess this, he will have lived two lives in vain.

Ling Yu looked up in shock, but immediately adjusted her expression and shook her head, "I didn't spy on you, it's just that your flyers have been sent to the county town. You know that Zui Xiang Lou belongs to the young master, so it's normal to pass on any new news to the young master."

Lingyu's mind worked quickly and she found an excuse, but she thought that she must go back and tell the young master to solve the matter as soon as possible and not let her pass on messages in between, which would be scary.

Su Qiuyi looked at Lingyu for a long time, then when Lingyu was about to be unable to bear it, he looked away and nodded.

"Your young master wants to buy a bow and arrow. Here's the money! There's only one bow and arrow in the shop, and it costs two hundred taels of silver!"

Although this bow and arrow cannot compare with the one I use, it is also a good thing. The materials are all top-quality and cannot be bought easily. The price at Hema is reasonable.

Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took the money, and then watched Su Qiuyi give her the bow and arrow.

"Anything else?" Seeing that he had got the things but was still not leaving, Su Qiuyi looked up and asked.

"Um...Wouldn't you like to take a look at the gift that the young master sent?"

Su Qiuyi had already seen the food box and gift box that Lingyu had placed on the counter.

But she was not in the mood to watch it now. She always felt that her guess was correct. It seemed that Chu Mingxiao had sent someone to monitor her.

"Let it go first."

She said this and picked up Chu Mingxiao's letter and read it again.

I didn't find anything else wrong, but once that feeling formed, it took root in my heart and could not be shaken off.

"Miss Su, the food box contains the special delicacies that Master specially asked Zui Xiang Lou to make. Would you like to eat it while it's hot?"

Lingyu said another sentence.

Su Qiuyi originally thought it was a pastry or something, but unexpectedly it was a dish, so she had to eat it while it was hot.

She opened it and it was still steaming. She looked up in surprise and said, "I remember there's no Zui Xiang Lou in town, right? How did you manage to bring it from the county town and still have it steaming?"

"I brought the chef from Zui Xiang Lou directly to the town, and brought him here right after he made it." Ling Yu explained.

"This is too luxurious... Come on, sit down and eat with us!" Su Qiuyi looked at the dozen or so dishes and saw that he couldn't finish them all by himself, so he called Lingyu.

"No, no, no, Miss Su, this is what our young master prepared specially for you to celebrate your opening. How can I eat with him? You should eat it by yourself!"

Su Qiuyu said as she arranged the dishes, "I can't finish it by myself, so celebrate with me! Come on, sit down and eat together!"

Lingyu knew that Miss Su said this because she really wanted to eat with her, so she stopped refusing, helped to set the table, and sat down to eat with her.

Su Qiuyi discovered that the chef of Zui Xiang Lou was really not good at bragging. The food tasted so delicious that it simply intoxicated her.

Suddenly I felt that Chu Mingxiao was really thoughtful. While eating the delicious food, I suddenly wanted to see the gift he sent.

Just look at it and put down your chopsticks to open the gift box.

When the contents appeared before her eyes, she covered her face for a long moment.

It's not touching, it's embarrassing.

Chu Mingxiao really knows me well enough to actually give me a golden abacus.

Even though you know she loves money, you can't do this, right?

He gave himself a golden abacus as a gift.

Have you ever thought that she also wants to save face...

But...I like it.

What to do if you like it very much?

Think about how I was being stingy when I asked for money just now.

How can two hundred taels of silver compare to this golden abacus?

"Miss Su, the young master is really busy and has no time to prepare a gift carefully. Please don't be angry..." Ling Yu had put down her chopsticks a long time ago. Seeing Su Qiuyi covering her face, she thought that she didn't like the gift given by the young master, so she spoke carefully.

"Why not? I like it very much...By the way, is your young master still busy preparing food supplies?"

She remembered that she seemed to have mentioned in the previous letter that the biggest problem in the army was still food and fodder.

"Yes, the soil on the border is poor to begin with, and the crops grown there are few. Coupled with the impact of the war, they can't even be self-sufficient, not to mention the military supplies. The last batch of food and grass lost directly affected the army, and it is indeed a big problem now. It is early summer now, and the crops have just been planted. The food and grass problem is really a big problem."

Speaking of this, Lingyu started talking.

The two talked about this for a while, and Su Qiuyi found that the current situation was that it was difficult to buy anything. Although the bearded man had been caught, there were still hidden dangers causing trouble, and he was always tampering with the food and grass.

"Didn't the higher-ups send food and fodder? That can't be right? Food and fodder are the most important. There's a war going on at the front line. How can we survive without food and fodder?"
