The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Ruan Mianmian stopped reaching for the things, realizing that she had acted inappropriately.

Well, let Comrade Liu go with her to Sister Jin Sheng's house to get the rest.

However, I should explain why I carried 55 pounds of food all the way here.

Ruan Mianmian zipped up her pants, cleared her throat, and said, "I am indeed quite strong." As she spoke, she looked around the room and saw a huge stone mill. She went over, picked up the stone mill, and then quickly walked around the room.

Comrade Liu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "You, you are indeed very strong."

Seeing that he no longer had any doubts, Ruan Mianmian asked, "How can this food help more people?"

Comrade Liu thought for a moment and said, "We'll cook some thin porridge and add some sugar. Although it won't fill most people's stomachs, it will give them energy. It's impossible to save everyone, so we'll focus on saving those who are starving the most."

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "Okay, please make arrangements as soon as possible. I just came in and saw a mother and child... the child seemed to have stopped breathing." Her voice choked with emotion as she finished speaking.

Comrade Liu said, "That must be Sister Bajin and her daughter. Her husband abandoned them with their son. We often take care of her, but we are also short of food here, so we can't help." He then said with a bitter smile, "You may not believe it, but for the past three days, our comrades here have only eaten one meal of thin porridge a day."

"Then, then you guys hurry up and get something to eat," Ruan Mianmian said hastily. "Or, you can eat some candy first to give yourselves some energy."

Comrade Liu was so hungry that he felt weak all over. He knew that he couldn't work without eating some sugar, so he nodded with a blush and put a piece of white sugar the size of a fingernail into his mouth.

Ruan Mianmian was getting impatient: "What good is this little bit? Eat more."

"It's alright," Comrade Liu insisted, pointing to the inner room, "There are other comrades inside, a little bit is enough for everyone."

Ruan Mianmian wished she could stuff sugar into his mouth. Seeing him turn towards the inner room, she urged, "Eat more, so you can work better." Would they be willing to eat more sugar if she said that?

Seeing that no one was around, Ruan Mianmian negotiated with the chubby system again: "Baby, I have a jewelry quota, right? I want to take out all the jewelry I have in this world. Cough cough, let's exchange the diamonds for gold jewelry, hmm, rubies, sapphires, jade, mutton fat jade, etc., you should have them, right?"

The chubby system was speechless: "There can only be two types of jewelry in one plane. You choose." He was too lazy to persuade her anymore.

Ruan Mianmian shamelessly asked, "So few? Does a small quantity mean high quality or large size? Can we replace this gold jewelry with a large yellow croaker?"

The chubby system laughed in exasperation: "Why didn't you just ask me to give you a gold mine? A giant yellow croaker, no less!"

"Oh, then I won't make any demands, baby. You can decide what to give. I know you're the best baby in the world, and you would never lie to me." Ruan Mianmian decided to use a retreat as a strategy to advance.

The chubby baby was speechless, but still gave her a little gold pig and a pair of jade bracelets.

The golden pig is gleaming, with black jade eyes and toenails made of gemstones in four colors: red, yellow, green, and blue. It looks exquisite and gorgeous.

The jadeite bangle isn't entirely green; it's close to icy jadeite, resembling a clear spring that soothes the soul.

The chubby system said somewhat awkwardly, "This golden pig wasn't originally made this elaborately; I modified it for you. The jade bracelet was also modified by me."

"Baby, you're so wonderful, I love you to death." Ruan Mianmian showered the chubby system with sweet words as if they were free. After praising it, she said, "Baby, I'll go buy these two luxury items later. Can you help me pick out an outfit so I can look like a rich person?"

This way, she can sell the gold pig and jade bracelet for a high price.

The chubby system knew what Ruan Mianmian wanted to do and said, "Host, unless you stay here for a few months, you won't be able to sell this golden pig and bracelet for a good price."

Ruan Mianmian thought about it and realized it made sense, so her shoulders slumped: "It seems so." What should she do?

She looked down at the two luxury items in her hands and finally decided: "I'll try them out first. If the price is right, I'll sell them; otherwise, I'll sell one of them first."

If she sells at a high price and then buys grain instead, she could very likely empty out the grain reserves of Tanzhou, which would inevitably cause grain prices to rise. She cannot do that.

Therefore, the most likely outcome is that one of them will be sold.

After putting away the jade bracelet, Ruan Mianmian went into the inner room to find Comrade Liu and took out the gold pig: "Comrade Liu, I want to sell the gold pig. Do you have any connections? I want to sell it and buy some grain for the disaster victims."

Comrade Liu was overjoyed upon seeing this: "Yes, yes, yes! We are on good terms with the Jin family, a wealthy family in the city, and they have been providing grain relief. However, they can't keep up with the constant financial support, and recently they have reduced their grain donations. If we take the golden pig to them and give it to them to resell, we can make a lot of money."

Ruan Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, please get this done as soon as possible."

Comrade Liu sent a comrade to contact the Jin family, while he cooked porridge and asked Ruan Mianmian, "Comrade Ruan, you haven't told us why you're here yet. Why don't you tell us first, so as not to delay things."

Ruan Mianmian thought for a moment and said, "I plan to go north to the Yangtze River." She told Zhang Ying about his injury and her desire to hire people to go north with him. Finally, she said, "I won't hide it from you. There is food in the north. If you can persuade the refugees from Tanzhou to go north with you, then they will definitely be able to survive."

Comrade Liu said, “Protecting you as you head north is no problem. However, persuading the refugees to go north will be difficult. Comrade Ruan, you are from out of town, so you may not know, but the disaster situation in the north is more serious than here. Almost all the refugees in this city came from the north.”

Ruan Mianmian suggested, "Tell them that someone is doing disaster relief in the north, and ask if they can go north."

"Is anyone really providing disaster relief?" Comrade Liu asked.

Ruan Mianmian said earnestly, "I can only guarantee you that if you come with me to the riverbank, there will definitely be food!"

"Can all the refugees be fed? You must know there are definitely refugees left behind along the river." Comrade Liu's eyes were fixed on Ruan Mianmian.

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "Absolutely!"

There is definitely no shortage of food.

However, her debts will only keep piling up!

But she couldn't bear to watch so many people starve to death, so she decided to accept the debt.

Ruan Mianmian was worried that Jin Sheng's wife and the others would not be able to cook, so after explaining the situation to Comrade Liu, she called a comrade to come with her and left in a hurry.

Back at Jin Sheng's house, Ruan Mianmian pretended to rummage through Zhang Ying's large bag for food. She found a large amount of sugar, various grains, and pork, and asked the comrade who had come with her to take it back. She also told him to come back in a couple of days to pick her up and Zhang Ying to go north together.

That night, the man from next door came home and discussed the disaster relief efforts in the north of the city with his wife: "I heard that although the porridge was thin, it had sugar added, and the refugees regained their strength immediately after eating it. They're even willing to give away such precious sugar; they're truly living bodhisattvas!"

Ruan Mianmian smiled upon hearing this.

She didn't care whether he was a living saint or not; she was only relieved to learn that the refugees had energy immediately after eating.
