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

As the weather gradually turns colder, Shu Ran has already put on the cotton-padded coat she ordered, but Shu Yifeng is short of a few thick cotton-padded coats to change into.

Taking advantage of the weekend, the two went to the market early to buy some vegetables and meat, ordered some coal to be delivered to their home, and then went to the tailor shop at the end of the street to order several outfits for Shu Yifeng, four sets for each season, plus two sets of pajamas and loungewear.

Life gradually settled down, someone took care of things at home, and would even come up with different ways to cook delicious meals.

Shu Ran only needs to complete her daily tasks and attend school properly.

After attending school for more than two months, in mid-January, after another heavy snowfall, the school gave out winter break.

After receiving their results, Shu Ran and Zhang Pingfang braved the cold wind and hurried home.

"Ranran, ptooey ptooey ptooey!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, a biting cold wind rushed in, and Zhang Pingfang quickly spat out the coolness and closed her mouth.

Shu Ran pulled the scarf around her neck up a little before speaking with relief: "Pingfang, if you have something to say, go back to my house and talk to me. Be careful not to catch a chill, or your stomach will hurt."

Zhang Pingfang didn't open her mouth, but just blinked to indicate that she knew she had forgotten to wear her scarf.

After finally getting back to Shu Ran's house, Zhang Pingfang breathed a sigh of relief, her breath instantly appearing in front of her eyes.

"Hello, Uncle Shu!" Zhang Pingfang stood up straight and greeted him nervously, feeling that Uncle Shu was rather fierce.

"Hey, hello, you guys chat! I'm going back to my room to do some work."

Shu Yifeng agreed and gave the two space to return to his room.

With the weather getting colder, he doesn't go out to work much anymore. He only takes on some repair and carpentry jobs, which he occasionally takes home to do at the secondhand market with Mr. Li.

Shu Yifeng specializes in cooking, and he also knows some other skills, but he's not as proficient in them!

"call!"

Seeing that the person had left, Zhang Pingfang visibly relaxed.

Shu Ran couldn't help but chuckle: "Is my dad really that scary?"

Zhang Pingfang nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes."

After saying that, he realized what he meant and quickly shook his head, saying, "It's not that it's scary, it's just that Uncle Shu looks a bit fierce, which makes people feel uneasy."

"So exaggerated?"

Shu Ran couldn't help but doubt herself. Had she really made such a harsh choice back then?

Well, it's better to be fierce; at least now she doesn't get those malicious looks when she goes out.

"Hey, it's nothing!"

Zhang Pingfang didn't care much; after all, he wasn't her father, so she didn't need to spend every day with him.

Remembering the purpose of her visit, Zhang Pingfang quickly said, "Ranran, I'm going back to my hometown with my mother and brother tomorrow to celebrate the New Year with my grandparents and uncles. I wish you a Happy New Year in advance!"

"Why are you going back so early? There are still more than ten days until the New Year!"

Shu Ran took out some snacks that Shu Yifeng usually made.

The fragrant fried dough sticks immediately caught Zhang Pingfang's attention. Without any politeness, she picked up a piece, took a bite, and then said with a bitter face, "Don't even mention it. My cousin from my uncle's family is getting married and insists that we go back to my house to plead with my dad to give me a dowry."

"Never mind that, I just wanted to tell you that I won't be home after tomorrow, so you don't have to make a wasted trip."

"Okay, I've written it down."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Pingfang said goodbye and went home.

Before leaving, I even took advantage of the little calico's inattention to touch its fur.

"Meow-"

Satisfied, I felt much better and smiled as I said goodbye to Shu Ran, "I'm going home!"

Shu Ran was both amused and exasperated; at least she managed to touch him!

Little Sanhua doesn't usually let anyone touch its precious fur, and Zhang Pingfang has been eyeing it for a long time!

Looking at the calico cat with its fur standing on end, I tried hard to lick the unruly fur flat, but I couldn't reach the back of its head. In the end, the tabby cat next to me helped to lick it smooth.

Shu Yifeng quickly finished his work and headed to the kitchen after leaving the room.

After adding coal to the stove for heating the kang (a traditional heated bed), he began washing his hands and cooking.

Shu Ran put everything away in the room and then finished the remaining tasks that she could.

The task of going to school has been replaced by continuing to learn new knowledge.

The tasks that are refreshed every day are all very simple, such as doing a small craft, practicing calligraphy, or drawing a picture.

Shu Ran took out the "Fragrance Manual" and continued to flip through it.

When I saw "The Casual Food Guide," I copied a copy and gave it to Shu Yifeng later, not knowing if he would need it.

Comparing Master Guo's skills in her memory with Shu Yifeng's skills now, Shu Ran feels that Shu Yifeng is still better, but the warmth in her memory is unforgettable.

Shu Ran has prepared all the necessary materials for making incense these past few days, especially the incense products; she bought a whole bunch of them that she could find.

Weigh it with a small scale, then polish what needs polishing...

Shu Ran worked with great enthusiasm and quickly kneaded the dough—no, she kneaded the fragrant mud—and put it into the mold to shape it.

Then it's demolded and air-dried.

"Master, dinner is ready!"

"coming!"

Shu Ran packed her things, glanced at the task panel, and seeing that the task was completed, she left the room with peace of mind.

I don't know many people here, and my close neighbors have all gone back to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year.

The winters in the north are indeed unbearable. Shu Ran Cat didn't want to go out and continued to stay at home, basically not going out except for tasks.

On February 1, 1950, the last day of the asset monetization APP trial, Shu Ran finished her tasks for the day early. Except for going to bed at ten o'clock that night, she couldn't wait any longer.

I ate dinner very early tonight.

Before five o'clock, Shu Ran looked at the 915 asset points in her hand and felt a sense of satisfaction.

First, spend fifty points to exchange for two asset managers (10), one all-around butler (10), and two bodyguards (10).

The image was chosen very quickly.

The asset managers were a man and a woman, both in their thirties, with ordinary appearances, but the sharpness in their eyes made them someone not to be underestimated.

The all-around housekeeper is a woman in her thirties. Her gentle face makes her approachable, but her overall demeanor reveals something extraordinary.

The bodyguards were a man and a woman, both tall and long-legged, around twenty years old, skilled in using various cold and hot weapons, and adept at close combat, driving various modes of transportation, and many other skills.

She can make money from her business, but it's hard to find someone with such expertise who won't betray her.

Shu Ran would rather spend more asset points on this, since everyone who comes out of the Asset Realization APP is loyal to her and will not betray her.

Small-scale mining requires a significant investment, but based on Shu Ran's asset points, she can only exchange for one medium-sized mine.

Feeling quite conflicted, Shu Ran subconsciously clicked on the detailed introduction of the small gold mine, wanting to see just how small it really was.

Goodness, I bought it!

You call an annual output of one million tons a small mine?

All the paperwork is complete, it's in country M, and the safety of the equipment and workers is fully covered. The purchase of the property also comes with a person in charge of the property's assets.

In other words, Shu Ran only needs to wait for the profits to be delivered.

One of each of the following: gold mine, jade mine, gemstone mine, diamond mine, and nickel mine.
