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

"Salt is 50 coins a pound, and sugar is 40 coins. Don't think it's expensive; you can't buy it outside even if you pay more."

This is true.

Without hesitation, she paid immediately. By the time all the goods were moved into the warehouse, it was completely dark.

"Uncle, I won't be coming tomorrow morning. I'll come back to collect the coal in the afternoon around 3 PM."

"Okay, you'll be busy delivering goods tonight, so I'll take my leave now!"

"Walk slowly!"

Xia Ning was pleased with his tact.

The two warehouses were full of goods, her future food supply, and the foundation for her survival in this messed-up ancient world. After collecting all of this, she didn't feel tired at all, only a strong sense of security.

She, Xia Ning, will not starve to death.

Similarly, the more inventory you have, the faster your wallet shrinks.

In one day, nearly two thousand taels of silver were used. It seems the silver is a bit insufficient.

The beer bottles are gone, the biscuits are all gone, and all the things from modern society are gone. Where will the money come from?

The next day, after her usual shopping spree at the market, she ordered 100 pigs' worth of pre-cut and processed pork from the butcher, requesting that the offal, including the blood, be thoroughly cleaned for her. She also ordered 1000 jin (500 catties) of lard.

Then he rushed to the general store to pick up his goods, and then went to the pastry shop, the sesame seed cake stall, and the steamed bun stall.

He was munching on a steamed bun, holding a whip in his hand, driving the cart. When he arrived, the carts delivering charcoal were already there, forming a long queue.

"You're finally here."

Xia Ning quickly opened the warehouse door. "Sorry, something came up and I was delayed."

"It's alright, it's alright, the car just arrived."

Merchants dared not show any disrespect to the God of Wealth.

"The grains and coarse flour will arrive tomorrow, and the cotton and cloth will be delivered the day after. There will also be a batch of salt and sugar. Do you still want them?"

"Of course!" After the goods are collected the day after tomorrow, she needs to rest for two days. Collecting goods non-stop is too tiring, but the most important thing is that she, Xia Ning, has squandered seven thousand taels.

I'm such a spendthrift! It's only been a few days, and it feels like I haven't even stocked up on many things yet, and my money is already gone!

Oh my god!

What to do?

The herbs in my own space are only worth a few dollars, enough to buy anything.

Xia Ning, who used to be extravagant, became arrogant. She used to be content with just a few wild vegetables.

Four days later, Xia Ning, who still had three hundred taels of silver left, reluctantly gave up.

"Uncle, delivery may be suspended for a few days."

The customer understood that with so many items, his supplier would definitely need to spend time selling them.

"Okay, thank you for taking care of me these past few days, Uncle! Just let me know if you need anything!"

"Uncle, you're not working on the boat anymore?"

"I plan to stay in Ningzhou for a while longer and not travel for the time being." He found that working at the dock to help the boss purchase goods was more profitable and more stable, so he plans to bring his whole family to settle down and change careers.

"That's great! If my supplier needs anything, they'll come to you again, Uncle!"

The merchant was touched; he'd made quite a bit of money lately. He slipped 10 taels of silver into Xia Ning's hand. "Don't forget to contact me if you need anything! I'm at the dock every day."

"Yes!" she readily agreed.

Oh, silver, tell me how I can get you!

She didn't have enough money, so she didn't dare to spend it recklessly. Every day, besides picking up the pre-ordered cooked food, she stayed home and cooked.

She found a secluded blacksmith shop and ordered several kitchen knives, sickles, and axes from the owner. These would be weapons in a pinch.

With little silver left, her desire for more silver was unprecedented.

"Have you heard? Master Han of Nanyang County has had three young girls killed in three days. What a wicked man!"

"Isn't that right? I heard from a distant relative that if he sets his sights on someone, he'll tie them up and bring them back to his mansion."

"His daughter married the magistrate of Nanyang County as his eighteenth concubine. No one in the surrounding area dared to offend him."

"I heard that his family's rice storage is overflowing, and they can't fit it all in."

"Of course, if someone takes a fancy to a piece of land, giving them ten percent of the silver is considered a sign of their conscience. This family is lucky."

"When will God take away such a wicked person?!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense! Although we live in a prefectural city, officials protect each other. Who can we afford to offend?"

The person who was cursing looked indignant, but dared not utter another word.

Holy crap, this guy's a robber. He's not only robbing people, he's stealing land too.

Xia Ning's eyes darted around. This person was even worse than the Xia family! If she was acting on behalf of Heaven, taking from the people and using it for the people, wouldn't that be too much to ask?

Exactly, with my skinny arms and legs and no martial arts skills, how am I supposed to steal?

There's no rush. The meals she ordered still have 5 days' worth of stock left, so she can take her time to consider it.

Two days later, through a beggar in the prefectural city, she met a hoodlum and bought sleeping powder and drugs from him. They were very expensive; she had scraped together the money by selling some he shou wu (a type of medicinal herb).

The thug didn't care what she did with the money; as long as he made money, that was fine with him. Xia Ning thought this person was trustworthy and had many connections; she would definitely come back to patronize him when she had money.

With the medicine in hand, she prepared to go to Nanyang County.

After arriving in Nanyang County, she wandered around the vicinity of Master Han's residence for half a day, but the gatekeepers and servants were an impenetrable fortress; there was no way she could break through them.

A direct assault won't work; we have to outsmart them.

Xia Ning made a decision that even she found unbelievable. In the dead of night, she picked up a hoe and began to break down the wall in the backyard of Master Han's house. Afraid of being discovered, she could only dig a hole little by little. Sweat soaked her clothes, but she was completely unaware. Finally, before dawn, she successfully dug a hole large enough for herself to pass through.

Xia Ning carefully climbed into the backyard of Master Han's house, secretly relieved that she hadn't been discovered. She quietly observed her surroundings; at this hour, everyone was still asleep. She was in the storage shed in the backyard, slowly moving towards the kitchen. She knew that in such a large house, the very back courtyard was for the servants.

Having found her target, she hid in the woodshed. She was small, and with half the room filled with firewood, no one would notice her if she lay there.

She heard the servants talking, the sound of them drawing water, and someone opening the door and coming in to carry firewood. The moment that person entered, she didn't dare breathe. After the person left, she was covered in a cold sweat.

I heard the old women preparing breakfast and telling everyone to eat quickly and get to work. The masters would be getting up early soon, and I still had to serve them. I also heard the sounds of those on duty returning to change shifts.

The woodshed was only opened twice that day, once in the morning and once at noon, for cooking.
