A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!
Chapter 7 Two Street Vendors
"Young master, are you sure you don't want to take a look? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What if it's something good? Taking a look won't delay you, will it?" Xia Ning leaned closer. Such a perfect target was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Are you ever going to stop? Hurry up..."
"it is good."
The eunuch's angry rebuke stopped abruptly as he stared at his master in shock.
"Hurry up and take it out! What are you dawdling for?" Xia Ning was scolded reluctantly.
If we're talking about dogs, you're the worst, you damned eunuch!
Xia Ning leisurely took a beer bottle out of her bag; of course, she had already torn off the outer wrapping paper. She also soaked it in water to remove any stuck parts, and now the bottle was spotless, sparkling clean in the sunlight.
The boy snatched the bottle from her hand. He hadn't expected, he really hadn't expected, that this young man would possess such an exquisite glass bottle, and a green one at that. Such a rare item, he absolutely had to get his hands on it.
"How much for this?" His eyes gleamed with determination.
Xia Ning raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a triumphant smile: "Tell me, how much would such a precious glass, a crystal bottle, cost?" She didn't want to say the price; what if she said too low?
"5000 taels!" the person opposite offered without hesitation.
Xia Ning, who only intended to sell it for 100 taels, stared wide-eyed at the fool opposite her. He looked respectable, but his brain wasn't working properly.
Seeing her lack of reaction, the young master became displeased. "What, you're unwilling? The price I offered is already high enough; you can search the entire Great Xia Dynasty and you won't find a higher price!"
Xia Ning, still stunned by the 5000 taels, hadn't recovered. Seeing that she remained silent, the young man grew impatient, "6000 taels, that's the most! I advise you to stop now!"
The eunuch standing nearby covered his face, having never seen a buyer proactively raise the price. "Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry?"
"7000 taels, it's settled!"
The young master snatched the glass bottle and yelled at the eunuch, "Give her the silver notes!"
The young eunuch hurriedly pulled money from his pocket. Had the young prince gone mad? They only brought two people with them, and he'd squandered 7000 taels of silver. And he even offered to give them more money.
The boy didn't give her a chance to speak, shoved the silver note into her arms, and left with the bottle.
Xia Ning was utterly bewildered. Holy crap, a beer bottle she'd finished drinking from was worth 7000 taels of silver! Family, who would believe that?!
Where did this landlord's foolish son come from? He's so wasteful, does his father know?
Indeed, the decision to go down the mountain was the right one.
As soon as she came down the mountain, she made a fortune.
In a daze, Xia Ning, fearing the other party might change their mind, clutched the silver notes and ran away from the dock. If she couldn't find the other woman, she could figure out how to return the goods. She found a clothing store and bought several sets of men's clothes. In this world, women face many inconveniences; fortunately, the original owner of this body was malnourished and androgynous.
After changing my clothes and putting my hair in a bun, I went to find a middleman and bought a small courtyard that was relatively quiet and about half a mile from the neighbors.
She liked it here because it was quiet enough and within the city. She planned to spend the cold wave in the prefectural city. Why stay here? Because it was the prefectural city; in times of natural disaster, a big city was definitely safer than a small town. Why did famine victims always try to rush into the prefectural city? First, high-ranking officials were here; second, wealthy people were here; and third, the largest granary was here.
If the governor is capable, he can weather a year of cold waves without causing chaos, there will be absolutely no problem.
She hired someone to clean her new home and then went out to buy necessities: quilts, pillows, clothes, dishes, chopsticks, a water tank, a bucket, a large pot, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, rice, noodles…
I see everything and think I need it, so I buy it without batting an eye! My sister is rich now!
She asked the shopkeeper to deliver the goods to her home in the evening, and then she went to the livestock market to buy a mule cart so that she could keep her stockpiling goods discreet. Today, she had already asked someone to find her a warehouse near the dock.
The docks are where the most goods come and go, and the largest volume of cargo. If she could receive a few boatloads of grain...
Mules were easy to buy, but she didn't know how to drive a mule cart. To close the deal, the boss had someone teach her to drive the cart. In less than half an hour, she could ride the mule successfully. It was easier than driving a car!
Equipped with a sturdy and durable large carriage, it's time to go home and collect your goods.
Passing by vegetable stalls, I saw radishes and cabbages for sale and bought them all, stuffing them into the truck bed. Hehe, I shouldn't have gone up the mountain in the first place; here, I can stock up on goods much faster than on the mountain.
Xia Ning, humming a little tune, happily drove home with a car full of things.
Once the warehouse was rented, she began her stockpiling journey.
Moving into the new house, washing the pots, cooking, and turning on the stove.
Tonight, she's going to have a good meal. The chicken that Xia's family bought for free looks pretty good. Mushroom and chicken soup, spicy stir-fried chicken giblets, pork belly and radish slices stir-fry, and steamed white rice.
When she was little, her favorite food was white rice steamed in a big pot, which had a smoky flavor. Underneath the rice, a layer of golden-brown crispy rice crust was her favorite, crispy and fragrant.
The original owner of this body had been starving for a long time, and her appetite had shrunk considerably. She only ate a third of the food for dinner before feeling bloated. She put the rest into her spatial storage, and tomorrow she would buy a large container and cook larger portions of each type of dish, one container at a time.
The middleman acted quickly, finding two large, connected warehouses the very next day, each about 1000 square meters. Xia Ning was very satisfied; this person was truly efficient.
After paying the rent and receiving the keys, the middleman left happily. This young man was really decisive when buying things.
After the middleman left, she wandered around the dock.
As she walked, she looked around, planning her next stockpiling operation. She saw a ship unloading cargo, which was loaded with all sorts of goods.
Xia Ning's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward to chat with the merchants. She learned that most of their goods were only resold after they arrived at their destination, although some were pre-ordered, but not many.
"What if I want to buy supplies from the ship?"
"We sell to anyone who pays. Our merchant ships come and go immediately. We pay on the spot and don't give credit."
She understood, since they wouldn't stay here for long.
That afternoon, a transaction of 10,000 jin of brown rice was successfully completed. The shop sold it for 5 wen per jin, but she got it for 4 wen because of the large quantity. The customer hadn't expected the young man to place his order so decisively; he paid the deposit immediately upon seeing the goods, and the balance after unloading, without a moment's hesitation. He liked people who were so straightforward.
"Young man, what else do you want? I can get it for you!" At worst, he can leave Ningzhou Prefecture a little later. It won't affect him. Wherever he is, he can do business.
Oh, so you're a middleman too. No problem, this actually makes things easier for her.
