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

A total of six sets of ready-made clothes cost her only three taels of silver.

Just as she was about to pay and leave, Su Qiuyi turned around and saw a pile of cotton-padded jackets stacked in an inconspicuous corner of the clothing shop. She was tempted.

If we really have to flee from the famine, it will be hard to say when it will end.

It is a hot summer now, but now that summer is here, is winter far away?

Buying cotton clothes and pants for the family is an urgent matter.

She pointed to the pile of clothes in the corner and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, how much are those cotton-padded clothes and trousers?"

When the middle-aged female shopkeeper heard what the little girl said, her eyes lit up. It was summer now and it was also a year of disaster. She had asked the embroiderer to sew those cotton-padded jackets and trousers early on, but now they could not be sold.

After all, eating and drinking have become problems, who has spare money to buy new clothes?

Moreover, her shop targets the common people nearby, and the materials she uses are not particularly good. They are all linen that ordinary people can afford, or at most cotton or muslin, and there are very few pieces.

She thought that since this little girl was generous in buying things, maybe she could buy some back, so she walked up to her and started introducing some to her.

Su Qiuyi felt a toothache after hearing the prices of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded pants and cotton-padded jackets, and felt that they were really too expensive.

If each family member bought a set of cotton clothes and trousers and a long cotton jacket, each person would need one tael and three qian of silver, and the total for five people would be six taels and five qian of silver.

But she thought about it for less than two seconds before nodding and picking out five sets of ready-made clothes according to the figures of the five people.

I murmured to myself, no wonder the clothes my family wore were so tattered, with patches upon patches, it turned out that fabric for clothes was so expensive here.

The total amount was nine taels and five cents of silver. She thought about it and decided not to take out the change, but instead gave one tael of gold to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was not too surprised. After all, the girl's purchasing power was there.

Holding the ready-made clothes that the shopkeeper had tied up for her with a cloth strip and taking the five cents of silver she gave as change, Su Qiuyi left the town without any further delay.

After the surrounding villages ran out of water one after another, more and more refugees wandered around the town. She didn't dare to wander around the town for too long carrying so many things.

After finding a place where no one was around, she put all her things into the small space of about ten square meters, and suddenly felt that the place was crowded.

Without caring about anything else, Su Qiuyi quickly combed her hair like the men of that era and changed into the men's suit that was bought for her.

You know what, with her small body, dark face and shriveled figure, no one would be able to tell that she is a girl unless she says it.

Su Qiuyi suddenly became a different person. He patted his chest with relief, took a glass of water and drank it, then turned around and went back to the town.

When she returned to the restaurant where she had eaten yesterday, the owner didn't recognize her at all and came up to greet her warmly.

Su Qiuyi specifically asked the shopkeeper to add braised pork to the noodles she ate today.

After eating and drinking her fill, she left the restaurant and went to the grain store again, this time buying thirty kilograms of rice.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help it and bought steamed buns for my two sisters at the bun shop.

As for my parents, I just have to bear with it for now. My two younger sisters are easy to fool. They say that they bought it with the copper coins they earned from running errands, so I can barely get away with it by letting them eat it secretly.

Adults can’t do that, because their handsome dad even knows the price of steamed buns.

I felt a little more energetic today. I carried 30 kilograms of rice and bought 5 kilograms of coarse salt. I didn't feel too out of breath when I got to a deserted place outside the town.

After changing my hair and clothes back to normal, I rushed home.

As soon as he got home, he was stopped by Su Li at the gate.

"Yiyi, is there any money-making business today?"

The wrinkled old face was full of smiles, a complete change from the sarcastic expression of the past two days.

Su Qiuyi felt a chill when he saw this, and took two steps back before he stood still.

Looking at the old woman's face, my mind was turning quickly and an idea came to my mind.

She nodded slowly under Su Li's expectant gaze, and spoke as her two younger sisters ran out behind her.

"Manager Wu said he wants to buy a few more chickens, eggs are fine too, and he'll pay twice the usual price!"

She thought, Wen Xin'er only said that she didn't want plant seeds, but didn't say anything else. If someone who only drinks medicine all day long becomes addicted to drinking chicken soup and eating eggs, then wouldn't she have another way to make money?

Moreover, the health bar for trading with the interstellar plane must be full before other planes can be unlocked, but now the health bar... is so pitiful, it is really too difficult.

"Really? The price has doubled?" Mrs. Su Li was a little unconvinced and held out her hand. "Give it to me! Give me the silver and I'll take the two old hens from my home!"

Mrs. Su Li was not stupid. She knew that they were about to flee famine, and keeping the two chickens would be of little use. It would be better to sell them and exchange them for some coarse rice to make steamed buns to take with them.

What's more, if the price doubles, that means a chicken is three hundred coins. She can exchange two chickens for a lot of food, and the family can survive for a while longer.

Su Qiu shook his head in disapproval. "Manager Wu hasn't given me the money yet. He can only give it to me after the chickens are delivered. Oh, grandma, eggs are fine too. Eggs are three times the price!"

She couldn't take out the money now, in case the old woman thought she had a lot of money and targeted her.

However, she also believed that the old woman would not be able to resist the temptation of doubling the price and would definitely sell it.

"That won't work. Who knows if a cheap girl like you would take the chicken without paying..." Su Li was a little hesitant, her eyes rolling around.

"Mom, how about I go to town with her tomorrow and watch her deliver the chickens to that manager, and then get the money back!"

Su Xiaofei, who came out from behind, had already heard everything that was said and could no longer contain her excitement.

Su Qiuyi waved his hand and said, "That won't work! Manager Wu is a noble man I know, and I'm not stupid. I can't introduce him to you! You can sell it or not. There are definitely many people in the village who will sell it!"

Just as several people were standing at the gate of their own yard arguing, Su Xiaofang came over, heard Su Qiuyi's last words, and asked her what she was selling.

Su Qiuyi wanted to help her aunt who always protected them, so she told the story.

Su Xiaofang slapped her thigh when she saw that her niece spoke so confidently.

"This is good news! Yiyi, wait for your aunt! My family also has three old hens and a few eggs. The price is so high. If you sell them and exchange them for some food, you won't starve to death on the road..."

People with forthright personalities tend to speak loudly and run home before they finish speaking.

He didn't give Su Qiuyi any chance to speak, leaving her stunned.

However, her words also gave Su Li a sense of urgency. She was afraid that Manager Wu would not buy many chickens and her chickens would not be able to be sold at such a high price. She quickly agreed to Su Qiuyi's request of not paying now and directly gave her the two chickens and fifteen eggs.

Together with the three chickens and eight eggs that Su Xiaofang brought, the three sisters stared at the five old hens and twenty-three eggs that were tied to the ground and lying motionless.

To be precise, the two sisters were staring at the old hen. Su Qiuyi had already realized that he had entered the space and started communicating with Wen Xiner.

Su Qiuyi: "Do you want to try our food? I guarantee you'll want more after you try it!"

Wen Xin: "What is it?"

Su Qiuyi: "Old hen soup! Eggs!"

Wen Xin'er: With a horrified expression, "I've seen this in a collection of rare animals and plants, but this is a second-level protected animal here. You absolutely can't eat it! Otherwise, you'll die!"
