During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

She was in her early thirties, with a light touch of makeup on her oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and almond-shaped eyes.

His eyes sparkled, yet a shrewd glint lurked beneath, and a deliberate smile played on his lips.

The moment he stepped outside, the businessman's seasoned aura was immediately apparent.

Ye Dali and Li Chunyan involuntarily shifted their positions. They were already standing behind Ye Qingqing, and if Ye Qingqing hadn't been blocking them, they wouldn't have dared to look up at her.

"Miss Zhen, my name is Ye Qingqing."

Ye Qingqing nodded. "My father sent us."

"Second Girl? When I first met you, you weren't even as tall as my waist. You've grown so much!"

Miss Zhen glanced at her, her eyes filled with disdain. "I heard she jumped into the river?"

Ye Qingqing, "..."

You're quite well-informed!

"That's because the Dragon King wouldn't accept it, so it came back."

She slapped the wolf and roe deer pelts on the counter, raised an eyebrow, and said, "What, you don't accept pelts that have jumped over the river?"

Ye Dazhuang, standing outside the door, scratched his nose for some reason and forced his lips down.

"Everyone who comes is a guest; if the goods are good, how can we refuse them?"

Miss Zhen, caught off guard, chuckled and ordered the waiter, "Open it and let me see."

Two shop assistants opened the wolf pelt at the entrance of the fur shop before she swayed her slender waist and walked over.

He inspected it thoroughly, inside and out, before finally nodding and saying...

"The guard hairs are thick, the color is even, the down is dense and thick, the fur is beautiful, and the leather is bluish-white with a pinkish tinge, which shows that it is a fresh product."

"It's just that my skinning skills are a bit rusty..."

As she spoke, she held up two slender fingers to count.

"For your father's sake, it'll be ten taels at most."

"OK."

Just as her father had estimated, Ye Qingqing nodded decisively, "Thank you, Miss Zhen."

Miss Zhen crossed her arms over her chest and raised her willow-leaf eyebrows.

"Don't thank me, I haven't finished yet... Was that robe made of wolves?"

"At most, it's 400 coins; I'd lose money if it were even one more."

Ye Qingqing's heart stirred, and she smiled as she spoke.

"The robe's leather wasn't worth much anyway, so let's treat it as a buy-one-get-one-free deal and give it to Miss Zhen to play with."

My dad said that from now on, when we need to sell leather goods, we should go to Miss Zhen; she would never cheat us.

A wolf pelt can earn you ten taels of silver. You can give away cheap roe deer pelts as freebies to build a relationship and get closer to her. In the future, you can sell your hunting pelts to her for a higher price.

Miss Zhen was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her again.

"Wow, I never expected this! When we met as kids, you wouldn't even offer me a candied hawthorn, and I was the one who bought it for you! How come you've become so generous now?"

It seems she and her father still have some connection, as she even remembers buying candied hawthorns for the original owner of this body.

Ye Qingqing tapped her head and said without blushing,

"It was from jumping into the river; the water was so cold it cured my brain."

Outside the door, Ye Dazhuang suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his nose, covering the corner of his lips that were curled up.

"This girl is interesting! Alright, from now on, bring your good stuff here. And let me tell you, the price I'll give you is absolutely the highest in the entire leather goods market!"

Miss Zhen laughed heartily and beckoned to the shop assistant with her finger, "Go get the silver for Second Sister."

A surge of excitement welled up in Ye Qingqing's heart.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhen... Young man, please exchange it for silver coins for me, that will do."

A dozen or so loose silver coins were placed on the counter. Li Chunyan and Ye Cuicui looked both excited and nervous.

My goodness, a wolf skin is worth more than a strong laborer doing hard labor for several months!

Second Sister's luck is unbelievable!

If he could bring back a few more wolves, then his family could eat rice and steamed buns whenever they wanted!

Even Ye Dali, whose face was usually honest and simple, had a gleam in his eyes.

Families in Kaoshantun with male members are struggling to scrape together the money to buy a male heir; they're practically dying of worry.

The younger sister said that the money from selling wolf pelts would be used to pay for his son's marriage, and he would be able to stay at home with his wife and children every day. How could he not be excited?

Ye Qingqing put the dozen or so silver coins into her money bag, which felt heavy in her bosom.

This was her first income since transmigrating, and it wasn't a small amount. She was in a great mood, and as soon as she stepped out, she grabbed Li Chunyan and Ye Cuicui and headed straight for the grain shop.

"Hey buddy, why has the price of the mixed grain flour gone up by two coins again?"

Upon entering and glancing at the price list, Li Chunyan exclaimed in surprise, "Mixed grain noodles are 12 coins now?"

"Sister-in-law, grain prices always fluctuate with the market; if it's expensive to buy, it's naturally expensive to sell."

Having seen many villagers complain about the price, the shopkeeper said nonchalantly, "Who knows, the price might go up in a couple of days. Why not buy it now while the price is right? How many kilograms do you want?"

Li Chunyan tugged at Ye Qingqing's arm and whispered,

"The Sun family in the village also said that grain prices will continue to rise. Second daughter, let's buy more and stock up on it. That way we can save a lot of money."

"Yes, sister-in-law is right."

Ye Qingqing nodded. "How about fifty jin to start?"

"Yes, yes, fifty jin!"

Li Chunyan happily held out a hand to the waiter, "Young man, we'll take fifty jin!"

"Alright, fifty catties of mixed grain flour... I'll weigh it for you right away!"

The waiter immediately beamed and picked up the gourd ladle to scoop out the mixed grain flour.

"Who said that? I was talking about rice!"

Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow and pointed to the large bag of rice piled high on the shelf. "How many kilograms is that bag? I want it all."

Not only was the waiter stunned, but even Li Chunyan was taken aback.

"What? Second daughter, what are you doing? That's rice..."

"We walked twenty miles to this town just to buy rice and flour, didn't we?"

Ye Qingqing looked around and then pointed to a bag of flour, "Hey buddy, I want a bag of flour too."

Before he finished speaking, there was a gasp behind him.

Li Chunyan winced in distress, twisting the hem of her clothes and muttering.

"Second daughter, that's not how you spend money..."

Ye Cuicui looked on in disbelief.

My second sister bought so much at once, does that mean we can eat rice and steamed buns every day from now on?

As far back as I can remember, apart from holidays like Chinese New Year, I've never seen rice or wheat flour on the table at home!

Back then, she made a wish to the moon every day, hoping to eat rice and steamed buns every day and never eat wild vegetable pancakes again... Did her dream come true?

A bag of rice weighed fifty jin and a bag of flour also weighed fifty jin. The two bulging bags were difficult for even Ye Dali to carry.

The grain store manager glanced at Ye Qingqing, his hands moving rapidly across the abacus, and said with a smile,

"Rice is 35 coins a pound, wheat flour is 30 coins, that's a total of 100 pounds... Miss, please give me 3 liang and 2 qian plus 50 coins."

Ye Qingqing took four one-tael silver coins from her money pouch and said, "Give me my change."

There are seven people in the family now, two of whom are strong men who can eat a lot. This 100-pound rice and noodles won't last long.

"Second daughter, is it a bad idea to buy so much at once?"

Li Chunyan knew that the rice and noodles were definitely going to be bought. Although she felt a pang of heartache, she was also incredibly excited.

Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with that? Just eat! Sister-in-law, Cuicui, let's go for another stroll."

She's about to go on a shopping spree!
