First point: This is an extremely backward ancient place, so backward that it's hard to imagine.

Secondly, prices here vary wildly, with some places having very high prices and others very low. For the poor, rice and flour are unimaginable.

Thirdly: Rice and flour are actually imported from other countries by merchants. Yangyanglong Kingdom doesn't have any of them. She feels ashamed for this country. She doesn't know what the emperor who controls this country is doing. Does he only think about expanding his territory and fighting wars all day long?

Fourthly: With the economic downturn, making money is difficult, and it's not possible to make a fortune through business for the time being.

Fifth point: The medicine is ridiculously expensive. Perhaps it is due to the war. When poor people get sick, they can only endure it. If they can't endure it, they will die.

Xiao Nan returned along the same route and arrived home before dark. The journey was smooth and without any trouble.

Fortunately, they lived at the end of the village, so their quiet departure and return went unnoticed by the villagers.

When the old woman saw her carrying such a big basket into the yard, she rushed over to help her unload the basket and then quickly locked the gate.

The two men carried the baskets but didn't go into the kitchen; they went straight to the main room.

When Granny Wang tried to close the door, Xiao Nan stopped her, saying that it would be pitch black after it was closed and she wouldn't be able to see anything.

So she took out two bolts of cloth and placed them on the kang (a heated brick bed): "Grandma, you know how to make clothes, don't you?"

The old woman swallowed hard when she saw the cloth: "Why buy so much fine cotton cloth? How much does this cost?"

“Once the money is spent, they won’t care anymore, and we won’t panic. Make two sets of undergarments for you, and make two sets for me too, since we can’t wear them anymore.”

"Grandma has them, she'll make them all for you."

"No, I'll do it too. Once I've recovered, I'll think of a way to make money."

Grandma Wang sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), stroking the fine cotton cloth, her eyes red-rimmed, and said with emotion.

"I never imagined that I'd be wearing such fine fabric even as I'm about to be buried. Why didn't you buy white?"

"It's too conspicuous. How many people in the village do you see wearing undergarments made of this material?"

"A girl who gets married will have two white undergarments, and only a few wealthy families would do that."

"So, let's wear this color, as long as it's comfortable. Do we have any cord at home? I forgot to buy some."

"Yes, I gave the undergarment to Grandma. I can wear it in a couple of days."

Xiao Nan then took out three pairs of cloth shoes and placed them on the kang (a heated brick bed): "Grandma, two of these are yours, and I'm wearing one of mine."

"Oh, you bought shoes too?"

"Yes, I see your shoes are patched too. Comfortable shoes make walking easier and make you feel more comfortable."

"Thank you, young lady. I haven't done anything for you."

"What are you saying? We'll depend on each other from now on, and I'll take care of you in your old age."

As she spoke, she placed the medicine on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed): "I saw a doctor who said my body was severely depleted and needed to be replenished, so I got a few doses."

“Okay, Grandma will use the earthenware pot at home to cook it for you.”

"Let's drink together, it's said to be good for our health."

"Take care of your health first."

Xiao Nan smiled and took out the items one by one, placing them on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Grandma, here's 20 jin of rice, 30 jin of flour, 2 jin of mung beans, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and 50 eggs. Let's eat together."

"Wow, so much stuff!"

"Since we've come all this way, let's buy more."

"You've spent all your money, haven't you?"

"There's still some left, enough to last for a while. We'll figure out how to make more money later."

The old woman sighed, "These days, making money is hard."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

Wang Po felt a lump in her throat and quickly got up to tidy up the things.

"I'll put these sauces and stuff in the kitchen, but the rest of the stuff will be in this room. There are a few restless young men in the village."

Xiao Nan understood immediately.

Once the old woman came out of the house, Xiao Nan sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and relaxed, feeling the pain all over his body.

If it weren't for the space she has, carrying all these things all the way would be unbearable. It seems she not only needs to take care of her health, but also needs to exercise.

She cooked dinner, and the old lady tended the fire.

A small bowl of white rice, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a plate of stir-fried greens.

The aroma of rice brought tears to Granny Wang's eyes, but she still smiled and said...

"Thanks to you, I can die in peace."

Xiao Nan was in a great mood, finally able to have a normal meal.

"Grandma, how old are you?"

"You're forty-five now, how about you?"

Xiao Nan was taken aback. She looked so old at only forty-five. If she hadn't asked, she would have thought the old woman was seventy.

"I don't know, I should be eighteen by now. I don't remember anything from before, but I've been with the Zhang family for three years now."

"She's not young anymore. In the village, eighteen-year-old women already have three-year-old children."

The meal was delicious for the old lady, but just so-so for Xiao Nan.

She didn't add any of the seasonings that were stored in her spatial storage, and she secretly took the oil out of her spatial storage and put it in.

There was no vegetable oil at all in town, and we didn't even find anyone selling pork or lard.

None of this matters, because the supplies in the space will not spoil even if they are left for tens of thousands of years. They will be exactly the same when they are taken out as when they are put in.

She has thousands of tons of meat, all kinds of it.

Even if she doesn't earn money in the future, the two of them will still have enough to eat and drink, so there's no rush to make money.

During the meal, the old lady kept praising her cooking skills, which made Xiao Nan feel both amused and exasperated.

The old lady cooks without using any oil, just a little salt. Her cooking is perfect in terms of oil and salt, so it naturally tastes better than hers.

The extra rice, flour, eggs, and other things were all taken from her spatial storage and mixed in.

As darkness fell, the old woman took out a packet of medicine from beside the kang (a heated brick bed), then took out an earthenware pot, placed it on an old stove in the yard, and began to brew the medicine.

Xiao Nan then boiled another pot of water and took a hot shower.

She broke out in a cold sweat on the way there and back, and because she's a clean person, she had to wash up.

By the time she finished washing, the old woman had already brewed the medicine and placed the bowl on top of it.

"Grandma, why don't you wash up too?"

"No need, Grandma doesn't sweat much. She can just wipe herself down occasionally. There's no need to worry about her. Come on, drink your medicine and go to sleep. You must be exhausted from carrying such heavy things back and forth."

Xiao Nan gave her a deep look. Having learned from her past life, her heart was not easily moved.

After drinking the hot Chinese medicine in one gulp, he went back to his room, took out a pill from his spatial storage, put it in his mouth, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), opened his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

Granny Wang tidied up the yard, lit the oil lamp that she rarely used, and began cutting cloth.

Perhaps it was the first time she had made such good fabric, the old woman was extremely excited. She cut out four sets of undergarments for the two of them overnight, and it was almost midnight by then.

Xiao Nan didn't sleep well that night. It was not easy for the original owner of this body to have endured so much hard work until now. Although it was the hot summer, she felt a little cold in the middle of the night.

She wasn't a young girl; she was already thirty-three when she died in her previous life.

After calmly analyzing the situation, Xiao Nan, who was asleep, concluded that Xiao Nan had a fever.

She quickly took out several different white pills from her spatial storage and swallowed them, then quietly took out a bottle of mineral water and drank it down.

She's not a doctor, but she knows how to take medicine for some common illnesses.

Fortunately, I ate in time. Half an hour later, the pain in my body disappeared, I was no longer cold, and I even broke out in a sweat.

As dawn broke, the old woman, holding a bamboo basket, sat on the table in the courtyard, meticulously sewing clothes thread by thread.

Xiao Nan got up, stretched, and came out to see this scene, which made him laugh.

"Grandma, you must have gone to bed very late last night?"

The old woman laughed and said, "Yes, hurry up and cut it up and sew it on. Your clothes underneath don't look right anymore."

"Grandma, you sew, I'll go cook."

"Drink this medicine first. I've already brewed it, and now is the perfect time to drink it."

Xiao Nan glanced at the black medicinal soup on the table, picked it up, and gulped it down.

Having experienced the apocalypse and faced life and death, she wouldn't even flinch at the bitterness of medicine. But since there was sugar in her space, why make herself suffer?
