A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

Today's lunch was exceptionally plentiful: prawns, sea fish, shredded radish, smashed cucumber, and a large plate of radish stewed with ribbonfish! The main dish was cornbread made with a little white flour mixed with black flour, served with brown rice soup.

Everyone stared at the dining table, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets. The food was just too good!

"That's enough for today, but you can't eat like this again tomorrow. Just one dish and one soup per meal."

"Yes."

Zhao Yunpeng picked up a piece of radish with his chopsticks; it was crisp and sweet, delicious!

Only after the general picked up his chopsticks did the others dare to take a bite. A plate of stir-fried shredded radish was gone in the blink of an eye.

Those who didn't manage to grab a cucumber immediately turned their chopsticks around to pick it up...

With more people than dishes, each person only needs a few bites, leaving only shiny plates of food on the table.

No other reason than that they had already used the broth to dip their cornbread.

Xia Ning was unaware that they treated her like a goddess. Right now, she was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, clinging to gold and unwilling to let go.

I’m rich, I’m rich!

She really struck it rich this time!

Who would have thought, who would have ever thought, that she would one day be rolling around on a bed covered in gold!

"Jiang Yi, let's go to the grain shops in the city tomorrow."

She wanted to see how General Zhao would handle the grain.

………………

Long queues formed at grain stores throughout the city, stretching from one end of the street to the other, and the lines were expected to continue to extend.

"so many people!"

"Don't cut in line! Don't cut in line! Get in line at the back!"

"We're not buying any grain, we're just looking! Auntie, why is the line so long today?"

"You didn't know? The store has new rice, not only fine grains, but also fresh vegetables. Those who have a little money at home want to buy some white rice to nourish their families."

"Where did it come from? We didn't have it in the shop a few days ago!" Xia Ning asked, feigning curiosity.

"How should I know? As long as there's food, why worry about so much? If you want to buy, hurry up and get in line at the back. Don't stand here blocking my way."

Xia Ning: ……

Okay, they're in the way.

She actually wanted to know how much rice, flour, and vegetables cost. She wanted to know how much profit the man surnamed Zhao made and how unscrupulous he was!

After much trouble, she finally learned the market price. He didn't make much profit on coarse grains, but he sold refined grains and vegetables at really high prices.

This unscrupulous man charged her ten times the price she was offered. Even as a middleman, she didn't make that much profit.

How dare he? Even so, these people are still scrambling to buy it.

It's a rare commodity, and it's certainly worth hoarding!

Seeing so many guests, and silver flowing into the General's Mansion like water, Xia Ning's eyes reddened with envy.

When it comes to business, he's a master strategist. Through a series of maneuvers, he managed to extract a large amount of grain from her without any initial investment.

If she raises the price, would the person surnamed Zhao be willing?

Those who bought grain and vegetables were all smiles, happily carrying their baskets home. Completely unaware that they had been treated like fat pigs to be slaughtered.

After returning, Xia Ning sorted through the supplies in her space. She sold them to the man surnamed Zhao; they were all items she had purchased during her previous stockpiling period.

Since he wanted to make money, and she wanted to make money too, she decided to sell some chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and also ask him for a few live chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, etc., which she could raise in her space now. Sustainable development was the best approach.

He'd rip her off as much as he could with meat, because no matter how expensive it was, he could easily resell it for double the price.

"Xiao Ning, is there enough meat for the two of us?"

"That's enough. Once we have live fish, we can eat as much as we want. We can also sell some of the cured meat I stockpiled before, and the river fish we caught, since they only have sea fish, might also have a market."

I will leave enough food for us; if he won't sell us live animals, then I won't sell him meat either.

"Fine, no meat without live animals."

He and his brothers couldn't stand eating grass every day without meat. His brothers wouldn't touch seafood, and he didn't really like it either, but he was too afraid to say so.

"This time the price will be a bit higher."

"for sure!"

Five days later.

Xia Ning noticed they needed cloth, and then realized she seemed to have some; she remembered she had stockpiled some, not coarse cloth.

What price should we sell it for? This general isn't short of money, nor is she a philanthropist.

Upon seeing the room full of grain at the next transaction, General Zhao was still awestruck. The immortals truly lived up to their reputation, effortlessly delivering such a vast amount of supplies.

When he saw the contents of the letter, he suddenly slapped his forehead hard.

“It was my oversight. A simple sacrifice is not enough. The immortals always come and go in the warehouse, so the offerings must be delivered to the warehouse for him to receive them. Next time, the offerings must be stored in the warehouse.”

They are so insensible. It's such an important matter that the immortal had to ask them to sell it to him. How can that be allowed? They must give it to him, and they should prepare as much as possible.

"The general's words make perfect sense. I wonder what offerings we should prepare?"

"Immortals love living things, so bring all the chickens, ducks, sheep, and cattle you raise at home. Other living things are also fine, such as pretty birds, rabbits, deer, and whatever else you have, send them to my residence. For the next transaction, send them to my warehouse."

"Yes, your subordinates will send someone over as soon as they get back." Life is hard, and everyone raises a few chickens.

"Oh, by the way, for the next transaction, the immortal has added chicken, duck, fish and meat. See if you need any, and if so, remember to send over the silver to reserve."

"Is there a limit?"

"Yes, we'll discuss how to divide it when we get back to the manor. As for the rest, we'll sell it at a high price at the grain shop."

The others looked at their heads with admiration. No matter what, the general never forgets to raise funds. He is truly dedicated to Haicheng!

"The fishing nets should be ready by now. Let's go check on them tomorrow." They've been so busy making money lately that they've forgotten about their orders.

Xia Ning thought for a moment and then said, "Let's ask about the boats too. We can bring one back first."

"Okay, if we have a boat, let's try fishing at sea."

"Okay!" Let's go deep-sea fishing. I wonder if we'll catch any tuna or anything.

At night, Xia Ning was awakened from a deep sleep by a slight pain in her abdomen.

Did she get diarrhea? She felt a little unwell.

I got up, wanting to drink a cup of hot water, and a warm flow ran through my body.

Xia Ning stood there, stunned.

Good heavens, she's been in this world since she transmigrated and hasn't had her period. She'd completely forgotten about it, and she didn't stock up on that stuff when she was hoarding supplies.

So, what did women use for their period in ancient times? I heard from the elders that they used to use something like grass ash, and they would wash it off before using it again.

Xia Ning felt even worse.

She can't wash it after using it, she can't do it, she can't bring herself to wash it by hand.

The heat from below wouldn't stop, so she had to get up in the middle of the night and manually make the sanitary napkins she remembered.

Luckily, she had cloth and cotton; she had stockpiled quite a lot, enough for her to squander.
