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

Yuzhou City is adjacent to Xiangling County, both of which are under the jurisdiction of Ruyang County. It covers a large area, has a dense population, and has a relatively developed economy and trade, with several money houses.

Yuzhou City was not affected by the drought. After the drought in Xiangling County, the only change in Yuzhou City was that people from Xiangling County had to pay an entry fee to enter the city. Nothing else changed.

The streets are full of bustling scenes, and the cries of hawkers from all kinds of vendors can be heard everywhere.

Therefore, as long as there is silver, there is no need to flee famine. The people who really suffer are the poor people who have no silver.

If they cannot enter Yuzhou City, they will have to flee to the capital. How can they survive under the emperor's feet?

After Su Qiuyi successfully exchanged the hundred-liang silver note, he strolled on the street for a while, bought some meat buns from the bun shop and brought them back to Wankelai Inn.

But as soon as she stepped into the inn, she saw the two servants of the Li family from yesterday in the hall, looking for the innkeeper to book a room.

She heard the shopkeeper say, "I'm so sorry, the first-class rooms are full! Why don't you consider the second-class rooms? The conditions are also good!"

The servant begged the shopkeeper with a bitter face, "Shopkeeper, can you think of a solution? My master and his daughter are injured, and they really can't get used to living in a second-class room! Can you help me see if there are any guests who have checked out? Please make two rooms for us! Just two rooms will do!"

The shopkeeper was in a dilemma, not wanting to miss this business, but there were really no customers leaving at the moment, so he looked up and saw Su Qiuyi.

He smiled and greeted, "Girl, are you going out?"

Su Qiuyi nodded, "Yeah!"

She didn't want to say more. After hearing what her younger sister said about the character of Miss Li, she really didn't want to pay attention to the Li family. She wanted to beat them up when she saw them, so it was better for her to suppress her temper and go back to her room.

But things went against our wishes. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he asked, "Miss, are you still staying in the hotel today?"

Su Qiuyi had already walked towards the stairs, but when he heard this, he turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then said tactfully, "The master of these two young men is injured, and we want to reserve two upper rooms. If the young lady leaves today, why not vacate the rooms for these two young men first!"

The two servants took a closer look and recognized that it was the girl who saved them yesterday. Their expressions relaxed and they quickly stepped forward to salute Su Qiuyi.

"Hello, Miss Su. I'm glad to see you here. I'm glad to meet you here! My master and my young lady want two upper rooms. From what the shopkeeper said, my young lady lives in an upper room. Can she change with my master? There are really no upper rooms in the inn!"

The servant made the request without being polite at all. They both knew that the master had given this country girl one hundred taels of silver yesterday, so she dared not refuse the exchange.

Su Qiuyi casually said, "This one doesn't have rooms, so just look for another one. Is Yuzhou City still short of an inn?"

The servant's expression was already somewhat blaming. "This inn is the closest to Shan De Tang. Can you afford to take responsibility for the fact that the master and the young lady's injuries have worsened after going back and forth?"

Su Qiuyi laughed when she heard this. She sneered, "What does your master and young lady have to do with me?"

"You...what are you talking about?"

The two servants were so angry that they didn't expect that this little peasant girl would take the money and forget her kindness. They pointed at Su Qiuyi and said, "You, you, you."

Su Qiuyi didn't want to pay attention to the two of them. He turned around and took two steps towards the shopkeeper, took out ten taels of silver and threw it to him.

"Boss, here are ten taels of silver. Take them first. You have to provide us with three meals a day and hot water during the few days we stay here. If it's not enough, feel free to ask me for it!"

The shopkeeper was holding the heavy ten taels of silver and was smiling happily. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay! Don't worry, young lady. I will keep a clear account for you! Please go upstairs, young lady! I will ask the waiter to serve you later!"

Su Qiuyi nodded, without even looking at the two Li family servants, and went upstairs with the oil paper bag in his hand.

The two servants were left staring at each other in bewilderment, almost blowing their beards and glaring at each other in anger.

After Su Qiuyi brought the meat buns upstairs, the family had a full meal, took turns to take a nap, and then opened the door to go out for a walk feeling refreshed.

When they pushed the door open, they found two servants of the Li family standing opposite their room.

Su Qiuyi understood in her mind that someone must have checked out or they really changed rooms with someone else and ended up staying opposite their room.

She closed the door nonchalantly. She had originally wanted to go out for a walk to see what good things there were in Yuzhou City, but her mind was taken back when she saw that the Li family lived across the street.

I just went out to buy some cakes and then went back to the inn.

Su Xiaofang saw that she was holding the oil paper bag in her hand and quickly pulled her in.

"Yiyi, we haven't had much good stuff along the way. Now that we are finally better off, why did you only buy these cakes? And you didn't even buy a few more chickens... How about this, auntie will switch rooms with you, and you can go live with Yueyue and have a good rest! Yueyue and I will take care of Xingxing! It's okay!"

Her words were incoherent and others couldn't understand her. She was complaining about her niece not buying chicken to eat, and then she felt sorry for her and asked her to go and have a rest.

However, Su Qiuyi understood. She did not refuse and went in to check on her younger sister. She saw that she did not have any uncomfortable symptoms after taking the medicine and was lying quietly on the bed with her second sister accompanying her.

She placed all the cakes in her hand on the bedside cabinet next to the two sisters, told them to eat, and then left.

Buying a chicken was impossible, but she did want to order a good feast for Wen Xin'er to thank her for the medicine she provided.

If those medicines were not there, who knows what would have happened.

But she only gave them the chickens and nothing else.

Since the food at Wen Xin'er's place is the most precious thing, she should find a better restaurant and order a sumptuous meal!

Su Qiuyi left the room and gave the two servants of the Li family a warning look. Knowing that the two servants would not be able to make any noise in a short period of time, he left the room with peace of mind.

After asking along the way, he walked towards the downtown area and stopped in front of a restaurant that looked stylish and had a high-class name called Zi Qi Dong Lai.

Su Qiuyi glanced at her clothes and realized that she didn't look like someone who could afford to spend money in a restaurant like this. She gritted her teeth and went in to find the shopkeeper and told him that she was there to pack a banquet for her young lady.

Then she took out a few taels of gold from the space. The shopkeeper did not dare to neglect her and quickly led her to a private room to wait.

Maybe her attire affected the restaurant's business, or maybe people were led by the gold she took out and thought that she was a lady of noble status. In any case, Su Qiuyi entered the restaurant smoothly and ordered a large table of delicious food.

Roasted chicken, steamed goose, smoked duck, crystal pork elbow stewed with lamb, scallion-fried rabbit, winter melon, crab and egg custard, some knew about it and some didn't, but everyone ordered a whole table full of it.

After ordering the meat dishes, pastries were naturally indispensable. We ordered a lot of hundred-flower cakes, mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, and white jade double cakes.

Su Qiuyi didn't know how the food in this restaurant was, so she simply ordered more. If it was too much, she could take it back for her family to eat.
