Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

"Spring Festival? What kind of holiday is that?" Lin Anlan was curious when she heard Su Yang talk about the holiday he had celebrated for the first time.

"The Spring Festival, also called Chinese New Year, means that the old year has passed and we are going to welcome the new year. It also means welcoming the new spring. When I was a child, we would set off firecrackers and fireworks during the Spring Festival. It was so lively back then. Everyone would visit each other and exchange blessings..." Su Yang seemed to have opened a floodgate and couldn't stop talking. He said a whole bunch of things in a row.

Lin Anlan rested her elbows on the table, propped her chin on her hand, and listened quietly to Su Yang's narration. She was mesmerized by Su Yang's radiant appearance. She had never seen Su Yang like this before. His eyes seemed to be full of hope, and every word he spoke was filled with happy memories. Unlike before, when he seemed uninterested in everything and indifferent to everything.

"Those were such good times. Thinking back now still brings back so many memories. It's a pity things haven't been the same since, and the New Year's spirit is gone...sigh..." Su Yang sighed, seemingly reminiscing about his childhood, or perhaps lamenting the loss of the Spring Festival's essence. Looking up again, he saw Lin Anlan still staring intently at him. Su Yang swayed slightly, noticing Lin Anlan's gaze following him, and tentatively said:

"Anlan? What's wrong?"

"Huh? Oh, uh, no, nothing." Lin Anlan lowered her eyes, no longer looking at Su Yang, but her whole face felt hot.

Upon hearing four consecutive interjections, Su Yang knew she must have been lost in thought. He didn't call her out on it, but silently got up and put the meat away. As he tidied up, he said, "How about we go to the city in a few days after the meat has dried and marinated?"

"The city? What for? Didn't we say we wouldn't need to go out anymore?" Lin Anlan asked, puzzled.

“Let’s go take a look. After all, it’s almost the end of the year. I still want to see if there are any New Year’s goods to buy. Besides, we’re almost out of money. Let’s just take some meat to sell, and we can also take those two furs to sell. I don’t think we need anything to keep warm. Miss Lena bought a lot last time.”

Speaking of Lena, Su Yang seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Miss Lena bought so many things last time, we should thank her. How about we bring her some vegetables and meat that we grew ourselves?" Su Yang felt a little embarrassed and amused. Logically, he should prepare a more expensive gift, but all he could offer were vegetables and meat.

"Yes, that's true. So when should we go?" Lin Anlan also thought Su Yang was right. After shopping together last time, Lin Anlan and Lena got along quite well, and she should thank her.

"How long until the Qinggui Festival you mentioned?"

"Hmm... probably about a month." The month Lin Anlan was referring to was the same as the original world, with four weeks per month, but eight days per week, so a month had thirty-two days, and a year had twelve months, which made up three hundred and eighty-four days, and it was the same every year.

"Oh, there are still thirty-two days left. How about we go in a week? We can take a day to get both things done."

"it is good."

Time flies, and a week has passed quickly. Su Yang's drying and marinating of the meat jerky were basically successful. Early that morning, Su Yang and Lin Anlan finished breakfast early, each carrying a backpack with furs and jerky. Su Yang also carried a basket he wove himself with a lot of vegetables. They headed towards the royal city together.

Upon entering the royal city, it remained as bustling as ever. As the largest city in the entire Principality of Paisen, the royal city had a large population. Although it didn't have as many people as the first-tier cities in the original world, it still had one or two million inhabitants.

Asking for directions along the way, the two finally arrived at the market. They found a spot and began selling the dried meat and vegetables they had brought. Smoked dried meat seemed to be uncommon in this world, and its dark color attracted many people to inquire about it. Su Yang tried his best to overcome his communication difficulties. It was fine with one or two people, but as more and more people gathered, Su Yang gradually began to stutter.

Fortunately, Lin Anlan was there. She stood in front of Su Yang and answered the questions of those who had them. Su Yang glanced at her gratefully and then silently stepped aside, ready to help at any time. Soon, with Lin Anlan's introduction, the first piece of jerky was successfully sold. The buyer seemed to be a nobleman's relative, and was very generous. Originally, Lin Anlan wanted to sell the jerky for one gold coin, after all, this meat had gone to great lengths to bring back, and with Su Yang's special treatment, the price should be appropriate. However, the relative seemed to be in a hurry, and after dropping two gold coins and taking a piece of jerky, he left in a hurry.

With two gold coins in hand, Lin Anlan didn't care about anything else and simply offered two gold coins for a piece of jerky. The other onlookers, who were initially hesitant, also crowded around to buy after seeing the first person make a purchase. The scene became incredibly lively. Lin Anlan communicated with each person one by one, while Su Yang collected money and gave them jerky from each of them.

The two of them were overwhelmed with work, as there were too many people wanting to buy. They finally managed to sell out all the dried meat, but there were still many people gathered around. Those who didn't get any dried meat were a little disappointed, as they had only come to buy it because they wanted to try it out. Naturally, they were a little disappointed when they didn't get any. Lin Anlan took the opportunity to recommend the vegetables she had brought, but these people were clearly not interested in vegetables and soon dispersed.

The two sat by the roadside, took out all the gold coins from their pockets, counted them, and found they had earned more than fifty gold coins. If they hadn't needed to save some dried meat for Lena, they might have earned seventy or eighty gold coins today.

After putting the gold coins into a bag, the two got up to go to Lena's house. Just then, a carriage sped past them, almost hitting Lin Anlan. Fortunately, Su Yang reacted quickly and grabbed Lin Anlan, preventing her from being injured by the speeding carriage.

"Who is this person? Driving a carriage in the royal city without slowing down? This is still a market town," Lin Anlan complained as soon as she calmed down.

The carriage was traveling too fast, and the curtain at the back was blown up by the wind. For a moment, Su Yang seemed to see a naked man lying inside the carriage, but the curtain fell back down in an instant. Looking at it now, he could see that there seemed to be a crest on the carriage, but Su Yang didn't pay much attention to it. He comforted Lin Anlan for a few moments, and the two continued to ask for directions as they walked towards Lena's house.

After asking around, they finally found Duke Litt's manor. They knocked on the main gate, and after a short while, a small door opened, and a servant poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Although I had visited Lena's house before, I could still feel the Duke Litt family's style on this second visit. From the Duke Litt to Lena, and then to the servants, there was absolutely no airs between them.

"We've come looking for Miss Lena. Is she in?"

"Yes, miss. May I ask who you two are?"

“We are her friends, so just say that Su Yang and Lin Anlan have come to pay a visit,” Lin Anlan said.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Before long, the manor gate was slowly opened, and the servant who had been there earlier stood by the roadside and said respectfully, "Distinguished guests, Miss invites you in."
