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

Without paying attention to the things inside the room, Shu Ran closed the door and left.

Turning to the well next to her, Shu Ran climbed onto the edge and floated straight down. She took out the light source ball and didn't fall too far, stopping about two meters from the well surface.

Searching for the mechanism, he recited the rhyme from his memory while operating it according to the description.

"Click"

"Boom"

The sound was muffled and not very loud.

A narrow passageway was visible in the well wall, but for Shu Ran, the height was more than enough.

Stepping onto the stone slab, Shu Ran held the light sphere in her hand and descended the steps.

It was pitch black ahead, and there was a chilly, gloomy feeling.

Down, left, then right, Shu Ran saw the blue stone gate.

There are also mechanisms here. I don't know what her maternal grandmother's background was, but the knowledge passed down from her ancestors is very mysterious, such as the formations and mechanisms in this courtyard.

The mechanisms themselves were alright, but the main problem was the formations. Shu Ran had only ever seen them in novels and had never taken them seriously.

It floated up to the door and started turning the door's mechanism according to a set pattern.

In the slightly dry space, there were 180 camphor wood chests piled up, half of which contained books and paintings.

The remaining half contains all sorts of items, including antiques, ornaments, and jewelry.

With a wave of her hand, Shu Ran put everything into her spatial storage.

Time is frozen within this space, which is advantageous for preserving books, paintings, and other cultural artifacts, as there is no water, fire, insects, or sunlight.

Shu Ran's main concern was that these things would be destroyed due to improper storage in the coming decades, since they were so close to the water.

If there's an earthquake or something, and the area shifts, water might seep in.

They returned via the same route, and the structure was restored.

Shu Ran arrived at the main gate with a delighted expression, floating around the courtyard, wanting to see the composition of the formation.

There are indeed some inexplicable patterns, which she hasn't studied and can't yet understand.

She wandered around for a while until the night wind blew in, and the silk white nightgown was not warm at all. Only then did Shu Ran realize that she hadn't put on the cloak she had taken off when she came in.

She quickly took it out and put it on, then turned and went home.

It's terribly cold, I'm not going shopping anymore, I'm going home to sleep.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw three pairs of bright eyes staring at her.

Upon recognizing familiar faces, they all simultaneously went dark—closing their eyes.

Having ascertained the situation of the courtyard, Shu Ran was no longer worried, and there was no need to rent out the house, as no one would dare to move in.

"Ranran, want to go out and play?"

It was Zhang Pingfang who came over.

Looking at the patch of land she had just turned over, Shu Ran took off her straw hat, wiped the sweat from her brow, and shook her head, saying, "I'm not going. I want to turn this land over today and go out this afternoon to buy some seeds and seedlings."

I just don't know if it's too late to plant them now, too early or too late.

Zhang Pingfang's eyes lit up: "There's still time! There's still time! Then I'll take you to buy some vegetable seedlings and seeds! My mother took me there before."

"Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes and come out."

After working for just a short while, I was already covered in a thin layer of sweat.

The straw hat and hoe were placed in the main room, and Shu Ran went into the bedroom.

I quickly washed myself, changed into a dress, and came out soon after.

"Let's go!"

After locking the yard, Shu Ran turned around with a smile, carrying her small basket on her back, and said, "I'll trouble Pingfang today. I'll treat you to a soda later!"

Zhang Pingfang smiled shyly, "It's no trouble at all. I have nothing to do at home anyway."

It's not far at all. After turning two corners, the street becomes lively, with stalls and vendors all around, hawking their wares.

I even saw people selling tiger skins at a stall!

It was just displayed there openly, for everyone to see.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's just ahead."

Zhang Pingfang's words brought Shu Ran back to her senses. When did the animal protection law come into effect?

"Here we are. Why are they selling tiger skins here? Why don't you sell them to the shops?"

You mean that one?

Zhang Pingfang glanced at the stall and said, "I thought the purchase price in the store was too low, so I came to set up a stall to try my luck. If I really find someone who wants to buy it, the price can be doubled. It's worth spending more time."

Shu Ran asked in surprise, "Is the price difference that big?"

"Of course!"

Not particularly interested in tiger skins, Zhang Pingfang walked around, glancing at the stalls on both sides.

"Look, this is it!" Zhang Pingfang pointed to the small shop in the corner in front of her. "The vegetables I grow in my yard are all bought from here, and very few of them fail to grow."

Looking up, Zhang Pingfang seemed to see something and said excitedly, "You go in and buy it first. I ran into my classmate. Go say hello! I'll wait for you outside."

Before Shu Ran could answer, she ran towards a boy not far away.

Okay! That way she can buy more and save herself the trouble of coming back next time.

As Shu Ran entered the shop, she looked around at the small store.

"Hello, sir/madam, what would you like to buy?"

"I'd like to buy some seeds and seedlings. Do you know what's suitable to plant now?"

"It's almost July now, so I recommend you plant tomatoes, radishes, and cabbages..."

The shop owner sat behind the counter, thought for a moment, and then rattled off a list of vegetable names.

After silently noting down the vegetables that could be planted, Shu Ran said, "Then could you please give me a portion of all the seeds you have in the store?"

"Okay, please wait a moment. Do you want them all?"

Just as I was about to reach out and pack up those dishes, I realized that Shu Ran meant all of them.

"Yes, I want them all, is that not allowed? By the way, how many seeds are in one portion?"

"Sure, of course. The number of seeds varies for each type. It depends on the seed situation. A large portion may have two or three hundred seeds, while a small portion may have fifty seeds."

Perhaps because Shu Ran spoke with such confidence, or perhaps because the shop owner was afraid that Shu Ran would change her mind and not want the product anymore, the shop owner did not refute her and packed the items very quickly.

After putting everything into her basket, Shu Ran counted out RMB and handed it to the shopkeeper.

Not long after arriving in Weicheng, Shu Ran exchanged some of her silver dollars and all her gold yuan notes for RMB, the common currency here.

After buying the house, I spent a lot of money on furniture, leaving me with very little RMB. I had to exchange some of it to make ends meet.

After leaving the shop, the two were still chatting, so Shu Ran didn't go over to disturb them. She just strolled around and bought some things.

Looking up, I could see a shop selling soft drinks not far away.

Shu Ran's eyes lit up, and she ran over with her basket on her back, buying two bottles.

It's still cold!

"It's refreshing! I put it in the well last night!"

The old man selling soda fanned himself with a palm leaf fan, raised his hand and took a swig, nodding and swaying his head contentedly.

"Cool soda is perfect for summer!" Shu Ran exclaimed.

Looking at the five or six empty bottles on the ground, Shu Ran praised, "No wonder your business is booming, sir! It tastes better cold than at room temperature!"

The old man paused in his hand, which was fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, gave Shu Ran an awkward smile, and then said, "I drank half of those!"

Oops, that wasn't a good compliment!
