With a cheat code, she travels through the 40s and hoards goods to take her motherland to new height

Just before dinner time, Cuizhi returned and also went to the small kitchen to retrieve Shuran's food box.

"Miss, I've found out."

As Cuizhi laid out the food from the lunchbox, she recounted what she had learned.

What Xiaocao said was true. Her father broke his leg while hunting in the mountains, and it was difficult to treat, so they were short of money. Besides her parents and herself, Xiaocao's family only had an eight-year-old brother who was still very young and couldn't take care of anything. They needed to look after the work in the fields and someone had to stay at home. Xiaocao really wanted to go home.

This time, he shamelessly came to Shu Ran to ask for severance pay, because he really believed Xiao Hua's lies.

Xiaohua wanted to drive away Xiaocao and occupy the small kitchen by herself, so that no one would complain if she secretly ate some of the owner's food, and maybe her wages would even increase.

Just then, an accident happened at Xiaocao's family, and they urgently needed money, so Xiaohua wanted to persuade Xiaocao to leave.

After listening to what Cuizhi said, Shuran seemed to be thinking: "Who usually does more work in the small kitchen? Which of the two of them is better at cooking? And who is cleaner?"

After thinking for a moment, Cuizhi replied without hesitation, "I'm not sure about her cooking skills, but Xiaocao is very clean and she's the one who cleans the kitchen most of the time. She's very diligent."

"Okay, I got it. Have Xiaocao come over after we finish eating."

Shu Ran gave Cui Zhi a few more silver nuggets as a tip.

When Cuizhi arrived, Xiaocao was cleaning the small kitchen, while Xiaohua had disappeared somewhere.

"Miss wants you to come over. By the way, why are you alone? Where's Xiaohua?"

After washing the pot, Xiaocao straightened up: "Her brother got engaged. Knowing I was staying a few more days, he went home and will be back tomorrow night."

Xiaohua and Xiaocao were from the same village and grew up together. Later, they came to work for the Qian family together.

"What do you need me for, Miss? I'll get ready and come right away."

"Great news! Go quickly!"

After wiping my hands clean, I rushed over.

"Miss, you called me."

Little Grass stood obediently in front of Shu Ran.

"Hmm, did you cook today's meal?"

"I made it, is it not to your liking?"

Xiao Cao was a little nervous, not very confident in her skills.

"No, it's fine. Who usually makes it?" Shu Ran picked up another piece of dried bamboo shoots with her chopsticks and finished the last bite with her rice.

“Xiaohua and I work together. She’s better at cooking than me, so I usually help her out.”

"How much more money do you need for your father's treatment? I'll make up the difference. Can you stay here then?"

Shu Ran wasn't entirely comfortable leaving the small kitchen to Xiao Hua alone; it would be better if the two of them could supervise each other.

"Miss, are you telling the truth?"

Xiaocao's eyes shone brightly. With money, she could get her father medical treatment, and she wouldn't have to give up her job. She could even earn some living expenses for her family.

I told her to cook well, and to keep an eye on each other with Xiaohua. After discussing it with Xiaocao, I sent her back home and gave her a day off to go home the day after tomorrow to take care of things at home.

After quickly sending the person away, Shu Ran hurriedly opened the trading system. While she was talking to Xiao Cao, messages kept popping up.

Hello, are you there?

Many food items cannot be uploaded because the system won't allow it, saying they don't meet the system's selection criteria.

Sanitary napkins are temporarily unavailable. We are currently cracking down on malpractices here, and the industry is undergoing major changes. I can't hold back.

We have everything else. Do you want more?

Are you still there?

Lin Zaiqing, a graduate student at the Agricultural University, waited anxiously for a reply from the other side. This was the second trading dimension she had encountered. The first was the primitive society, where she traded refined salt for some plants from that dimension, which had already been planted in her experimental base.

[Yes, yes, yes, I want it! What do you want? We can add each other as friends and barter to save on income tax.]

Shu Ran learned from the food critic that she was happy to pay less tax legally within the system's regulations.

News came quickly from the other side.

I only have one friend slot, and it's already taken. I can't trade privately, so I'm still a long way from upgrading and expanding my friend slots.

Is there a limit to the number of friend slots? Shu Ran hadn't noticed this before. She opened her friends list and, sure enough, there were only three slots available, one of which was already taken by the food blogger.

Okay, then you can put it on sale!

Without dwelling on it, Shu Ran glanced at her fairly sufficient gold coins and felt that buying some more would be a good idea.

How many do you want? I'll go buy them now. But I have limited funds, so I probably can't buy many.

Lin Zaiqing glanced at her balance on her Zhifubao account: 1256.78.

She laughed at him. Wasn't the "Multiverse Trading System" supposed to make people rich overnight? Who did she think she was?

No money? No problem! Shu Ran glanced at the two empty seats and, with a penny-pinching attitude, put up a gold bracelet and ten small yellow croakers.

The system recommends prices of 1500 gold coins and 1000 gold coins respectively.

The familiar modern world felt welcoming to Shu Ran, and she wanted to offer this person, who might be from her hometown, a favor so that she could receive what she wanted sooner.

To my surprise, the system's recommended price couldn't be adjusted at all, whether it was increased or decreased.

They're laughing all the way to the bank! Why call it a "recommended price"? Just call it the "official price"!

Do you have 1000 gold coins? Go to my shop, I've listed gold for sale.

No~

Lin Zaiqing felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at her gold coin balance: 100 gold coins, which was the reward for the first transaction in the original plane.

Communication in the original plane was too difficult. I didn't earn any gold coins. It took a lot of effort to convince the other party that she was not a god. We became friends and bartered, exchanging salt for a bunch of plants from that plane.

Shu Ran was speechless and sighed. This is too poor!

[Can you list something expensive? I'll buy it, and you can buy some of my small yellow croakers in return. Is that okay?]

No, no! I'll be right there!

Lin Zaiqing painfully put a ginseng root, thicker than a white radish, up for sale. It was traded from the original plane and was worth less than a bag of salt there, and it hadn't been put up for sale or priced by the system.

It was the only precious thing she had left, something she had intended to keep safe, but it turned out it didn't belong to her after all!

It's okay, we'll try to re-establish the deal once we get in touch with her.

Shu Ran watched as Lin's shop removed 50 bags of salt from the shelves and put on wild thousand-year-old ginseng (damaged version)!

gold!

They're not poor!

Are you really selling this? Not keeping it?

Shu Ran was afraid that she would regret it, because such things are rare and hard to come by.

[Sell! If I stay any longer, I can't trade, I can't level up and open new dimensions, it's a vicious cycle, this system is useless with me.]

Shu Ran quickly traded the ginseng. If the system hadn't prevented her from changing the price, she would have definitely lowered the price of the small yellow croaker before she would feel at ease.

She felt a little embarrassed; it was like she had spent eighteen small yellow croakers to get a wild, thousand-year-old ginseng. Although its condition wasn't perfect.

Hmm~ It doesn't seem that cheap, but these kinds of things are priceless, so it's worth it!
