Double Transmigration: Many Children, Many Blessings, Conquering Fairy Tales and Reality
Chapter 8 The Real-World Shopping Spree and Little Red Riding Hood's Dilemma
With the "huge sum" of over 20,000 yuan that had just arrived in his account, Qin Hao quickly took a taxi back to his school dormitory.
After locking the dormitory door again, he immediately lay back on his bed, opened various shopping apps on his phone, and began his second round of large-scale purchasing.
Having gained experience from the first wave of glass sales, Qin Hao's procurement goals were extremely clear this time.
First, there's perfume.
In this medieval world where even nobles smelled strongly of body odor, deodorant perfumes were an absolute necessity.
Instead of buying any big-name luxury brands, he directly purchased a large quantity of affordable, long-lasting industrial perfumes and scented shower gels online.
Secondly, stainless steel cutlery.
In the Middle Ages, commoners mostly used wooden spoons or ate with their hands, while nobles used silver utensils. However, pure silver was too soft and easily deformed, and it oxidized and turned black very easily.
In the eyes of people from another world, this kind of 304 stainless steel, which is shiny, never rusts, and has extremely high hardness, is definitely a high-end product!
Finally, and most importantly—high-purity refined salt and white sugar.
In medieval Europe, due to extremely primitive purification techniques, salt was often mixed with large amounts of mud, sand, and bitter impurities.
Sugar is an even more expensive luxury than gold, and only the nobility can afford it.
In modern society, a bag of pure white salt costs two yuan and a pound of granulated sugar costs a few yuan. If you brought them to that world, they would definitely trigger a frenzy of buying among the wealthy and businessmen!
"These items are considered 'affordable luxury' in this other world, though they are extremely expensive, but not to the point of a baron going bankrupt just to buy a glass."
A wider audience, huge profit margins, and most importantly…
Qin Hao looked at the dazzling array of white sugar on his phone and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Modern society has unlimited production capacity, so I can keep buying goods."
After placing a flurry of orders, Qin Hao glanced at the calendar.
Today is Saturday.
Qin Hao wasn't in a hurry to rent a warehouse off-campus or cancel his day student status.
After all, it's the weekend, and the school's counselors and administrative staff are all on break.
Even if he submits the application now, he will have to wait until next Monday to complete the approval process.
"Perfect timing. I can take advantage of the 1:10 time difference to further expand my Ponzi scheme in the other world over these two days."
Qin Hao silently made plans in his mind.
"Anyway, my roommates won't be coming back to the dorm this weekend. Once these packages arrive one after another, I'll stuff them all into my personal storage space, and I can move out next Monday."
After finalizing all the plans, Qin Hao stood up again to make sure the doors and windows were locked.
"Open the double passageway."
The pale blue light screen reappeared, and Qin Hao took a step forward. The scene before him instantly switched back to the bedroom of the stone mansion he had bought in the border town of the Kingdom of Osi.
I opened the window, and the blinding sunlight streamed in.
Qin Hao spent about four or five hours in the real world selling gold coins and shopping online. Based on a flow rate of 1:10, almost two days had passed in this world.
"Let's go out for a stroll first, and buy some coarse grains and vegetables from this world to store in the villa."
Just to make an appearance, so that people won't suspect I'm not eating or drinking later.
Qin Hao put the axe into his personal space and walked out of the mansion empty-handed, preparing to go to the town market to do some shopping.
However, just as they left the wealthy area and arrived at a remote street in the town, they found themselves in a more ordinary neighborhood.
A faint, suppressed sobbing sound, filled with extreme sorrow, suddenly reached his ears.
Qin Hao stopped and turned to look.
Not far away, a large group of townspeople were gathered in front of a dilapidated thatched house.
In the center of the crowd, a petite figure wearing a bright red velvet cloak was weeping over a corpse covered with a white sheet.
Qin Hao frowned slightly, slowly walked over, and stood on the outside listening to the sighs and discussions of the passersby.
"Oh, Little Red Riding Hood is such a poor child."
A plump middle-aged woman said, wiping away her tears.
"Her father died early, and her mother supported the family by washing clothes from dawn till dusk."
Not only does she have to feed Little Red Riding Hood, but she also has to take care of her grandmother who lives in the forest.
"Who can argue with that? What a good child, what a kind mother! And yet yesterday evening, while gathering firewood at the edge of the forest, she was killed by a crazed werewolf!"
Another middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly, his tone filled with fear and regret.
Hearing these comments, Qin Hao's gaze shifted slightly.
It turned out that the person who died was Little Red Riding Hood's mother.
Calculating the time, it happened exactly two days after I left this world.
Just as the crowd was whispering and lamenting the injustice of fate, a discordant voice, tinged with vulgarity and sleazy, suddenly rang out from the depths of the crowd.
"Oh dear, Little Red Riding Hood, now that your mother has returned to the embrace of the gods, how will you live from now on?"
How about this: you come work for me, and I can mercifully hire you!
The speaker was a tall, thin man with a sharp, mean-spirited appearance and a mustache.
Qin Hao recognized the other person at a glance.
Two days ago, while he was strolling around the market, he overheard other vendors cursing the tall, thin man in private, saying that he was a complete swindler who often shortchanged customers and sold inferior goods as superior ones.
At this moment, although the unscrupulous merchant was talking about "employment" and "great mercy," his pair of turbid little eyes with a yellowish gleam were lecherously and unscrupulously scanning back and forth over the crying girl.
Clearly, the "work" he mentioned was not so innocent.
Upon hearing this voice, the girl in the red cloak wiped the tears from her face with the back of her fair hand and slowly stood up from beside the corpse.
The moment she raised her head, even Qin Hao, who was standing on the periphery, couldn't help but secretly praise her.
It was an extremely beautiful and charming face, with delicate features, a face that combined the three-dimensionality of Westerners with the gentleness of Easterners, and a tear hanging at the corner of her eye that made people feel sorry for her.
Although she was wearing a slightly rough linen dress, she was also wrapped in a large red velvet cloak, which covered her body completely.
But as she stood up, her curves, far beyond those of her peers, were still undeniable.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Although Little Red Riding Hood's voice was hoarse and tearful, she still maintained excellent manners, bowing slightly as she spoke.
I will consider your suggestion.
However, I need to bury my mother first, and then go to the forest to deliver food to my grandmother; she's still waiting for me.
Upon hearing that Little Red Riding Hood was going to the Black Forest at this time, the townspeople who were watching became anxious and began to dissuade her.
Are you crazy, Little Red Riding Hood?!
Now those werewolves have completely gone mad; they used to only dare to come out at night.
Now they dare to attack people at the edge of the forest even at dusk, you absolutely mustn't go there!
"Yes! Even if you take the main road deep in the forest, you could be attacked by werewolves at any time. Wasn't that what happened to your mother?"
Everyone offered their advice in unison.
Seeing this, the tall, thin, unscrupulous merchant immediately pressed his advantage, continuing in that nauseating tone:
"Listen to what everyone is saying; they all make sense."
Instead of wasting your life delivering food to your half-dead grandmother, you'd be better off working for me.
"As long as you're obedient, I can at least guarantee you enough to eat and wear every day, how about that?"
However, despite the temptations of the unscrupulous merchant and the dissuasion of the crowd, Little Red Riding Hood shook her head with extraordinary determination.
"No, my grandmother is now my only family in this world."
My mother is gone, but I must go and take care of her, and I will always go.
My grandmother is too old to walk anymore; if I don't go, she'll starve to death in the forest.
The girl's eyes revealed an unyielding stubbornness.
Hearing this blunt and unforgiving rejection, the unscrupulous merchant clearly lost face.
"Hmph! You ungrateful brat, then go feed the wolves in the forest!"
The unscrupulous merchant's face immediately darkened. He snorted coldly and left without hesitation.
The townspeople watching the unscrupulous merchant's departing figure, and then looking at the lonely but loyal Little Red Riding Hood, all sighed helplessly.
Although they sympathized with her, none of them dared to risk their own lives to accompany her to her death. They could only continue to patiently persuade her to reconsider.
Little Red Riding Hood clung tightly to her lunch basket, pursing her lips, refusing to budge an inch.
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, and Little Red Riding Hood prepared to face this cruel world alone.
On the periphery of the crowd, Qin Hao, who had been observing coldly, suddenly pushed through the crowd and walked in with steady steps.
He looked at the Little Red Riding Hood in front of him who had triggered the system notification, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
"If you absolutely must go to your grandmother's house..."
Qin Hao's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly drowned out the surrounding clamor of dissuasion.
"Perhaps I can take you with me."
