Su Li's eyes were bright. "Brother Yuanzhou, being away from home is different from being at home. You must take good care of yourself."

The flames of war may soon spread, affecting the lives of ordinary people.

But the countryside is not like the capital city, where there are garrison troops, so it is generally more peaceful.

Lin Yuanzhou hesitated for a moment, then turned around and took out an inconspicuous little box from his basket. He slowly opened it, and inside was a pair of exquisite silver hairpins.

The silver hairpin shimmered softly in the sunlight, making it exceptionally beautiful.

He handed the silver hairpin to Su Li, his expression completely calm.

"Li'er, I've been wanting to give you these silver hairpins for a while now. I'm so grateful for how you've taken care of my mother these past few days. Please accept these hairpins as a keepsake from your brother."

Su Li looked at the pair of silver hairpins, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She quickly waved her hand and refused.

“Brother Yuanzhou, this is too precious, I can’t accept it. I’m taking care of your aunt willingly, you don’t need to be so polite.”

Lin Yuanzhou suddenly reached out and grasped Su Li's hand, slowly placing the silver hairpin in her palm, his eyes filled with an unyielding determination.

"This is a token of my appreciation as your older brother. You've called me brother for so many years, how can you not even accept my heartfelt sentiments?"

"Besides, I'm studying in the prefectural city and don't know when I'll be able to come back. If you accept this, I'll feel more at ease in the future."

Looking into Lin Yuanzhou's sincere eyes, Su Li hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted the silver hairpin and said earnestly:

“Brother Yuanzhou, then I’ll accept it for now. You must take good care of yourself in the city, and if anything happens, be sure to write back.”

Lin Yuanzhou watched as Su Li accepted the silver hairpin, a relieved smile appearing on his face. He nodded and said:

"Okay, I definitely will. You also need to take good care of yourself. If you encounter any difficulties, don't try to handle them alone; you must tell me."

After chatting for a few minutes, seeing that the sun was high in the sky and it was getting late, Lin Yuanzhou set off.

Su Li watched his departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She clutched the pair of silver hairpins tightly in her hands, secretly thinking that after Lin Yuanzhou left, she could find an opportunity to quietly return the hairpins to her aunt, or keep them for now and make plans when he returned...

After seeing Lin Yuanzhou off, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to planning her business.

Although the shops at the dock have closed, the medicinal herb fields in the village have already begun to take shape thanks to everyone's efforts.

With more and more villagers joining in, she no longer needed to worry too much about managing the herb fields.

However, this did not mean that she could be content with the status quo. On the contrary, Su Li clearly realized that she had to find a new path as soon as possible in order to gain a foothold in this turbulent situation.

In Su Li's memory, in her previous life, war broke out in the south first, and the flames of war spread rapidly, then affected the central region. Then a natural disaster struck, plunging the entire country into dire straits.

The people were displaced, starving, and living in misery.

Meanwhile, in the imperial city, the princes were engaged in fierce competition for the throne, plunging the entire court into chaos.

The current situation is exactly the same as in the past, with the war spreading faster than ever imagined.

This made Su Li keenly aware that the natural disaster might be coming soon.

Under such circumstances, the stockpiling of supplies becomes particularly important.

Not only must sufficient medicinal materials be prepared for emergencies, but also enough living supplies must be stockpiled, and all of this must be done without attracting the attention of others.

After all, in this chaotic world, a slight misstep could lead to disaster.

Su Li understood that she had no way to take over Su Zhen's resource space for the time being, so she could only try to restrict her use of it.

If things really get out of control, she will have no choice but to send Su Zhen back to the modern world with a single blow.

During this time, Su Zhen was unable to contact the Ninth Prince, and her second aunt's several attempts to enter the mountain were unsuccessful. Clearly, Heaven only allowed the "female lead" Su Zhen to become the "male lead" Ninth Prince's savior.

Therefore, Su Li concluded that the Ninth Prince had either been trapped and died in the mountains, or had been taken away by his subordinates and left the place.

But regardless of the Ninth Prince's fate, Su Li understood that she needed to be extremely focused and properly deal with the challenges that fate had presented her with...

However, the problem she faces right now is—

What kind of business should we start?

After much thought, she realized that her greatest talents were farming and cooking.

But the shops at the dock were closed, so where could she cook?

She knew she couldn't exactly become a head chef at a restaurant; she was well aware that her culinary skills were far from reaching that level.

Su Li sat in the courtyard, lost in deep thought.

Her thoughts drifted far, far away, and images of people struggling to survive during the war-torn years of her past life kept flashing before her eyes.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, as if she had grasped something crucial.

She slapped her forehead, stood up, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

She recalled the days when she ran a noodle shop at the dock, when there were many merchants and traveling traders coming and going, and the business was booming.

But now, affected by the war, the dock has become deserted and no longer has its former prosperity, and there are far fewer customers.

But then she thought about it again: those traveling merchants were still busy doing business, they just no longer stopped at their dock.

Traveling merchants often roamed the country, frequently enduring wind and rain, and to save time and energy, they mostly ate only hard, dry rations.

The conditions for setting up a kitchen and cooking a meal are extremely harsh, and one often has no choice but to endure it until the next place to stay before being able to have a decent meal.

This is also why their dock business was so good back then—

The traveling merchants desperately needed a place where they could get a hot meal.

"If only I could make a dish that's easy to store and carry!" Su Li murmured to herself.

This type of vegetable not only needs to be stored for a long time, but also needs to be easy to carry.

In this way, merchants traveling to and from the city no longer had to suffer from hunger and cold during their journeys.

Moreover, she has been operating at the dock for so long and has accumulated a lot of connections, which is much better than starting a business from scratch with nothing!

With this in mind, Su Li's thoughts became clearer.

She recalled that when she was a child, her mother would often make pickled vegetables. These vegetables could be preserved for a long time after being pickled, and they had a unique flavor that was very appetizing.

The process of making pickled vegetables is relatively simple and the cost is not high, making it suitable for mass production.

If she can make pickled vegetables in various flavors, she can not only meet the needs of traveling merchants, but may also open up a new market.
