Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Jiang Xue knew that Shopkeeper Wang might doubt her authenticity, after all, she looked young and had little social experience. But she could only try her best to convince him: "Shopkeeper, I really won't lie to you. If I say I have it, I have it. Just tell me how much rice you want, and I'll find a way to give it to you."

Shopkeeper Wang asked doubtfully, "Do you really have it? Are you kidding?"

Jiang Xue's eyes were very firm: "Really, boss. If I lied to you, I won't come here again. If you want, I won't look for another customer now."

Shopkeeper Wang had no choice but to believe Jiang Xue's words: "Then tell me, where is the rice?"

Seeing that the shopkeeper actually believed a country girl who said she had rice, Liu Xiaoer thought that the shopkeeper might be crazy. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe such a thing!

"Boss, you believe this! This little girl is just here to cause trouble. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this." Liu Xiaoer said sarcastically.

Shopkeeper Wang was already very upset, and now he finally saw a glimmer of hope, but was provoked by his own clerk in such an unkind way. In a rage, he decided to fire Liu Xiaoer: "You don't have to come tomorrow, I will pay you the money for the past few days, you can leave now."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was really angry, Liu Xiaoer quickly apologized and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Shopkeeper, I was wrong! I am doing this for your own good! You can't chase me away!"

But at this time, Shopkeeper Wang had made up his mind. Even if the king of heaven came, he would not want Liu Xiaoer. He turned and walked into the counter, took out the key, took out 200 copper coins and handed them to Liu Xiaoer who was still kneeling, and said coldly: "Take it! Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude."

Liu Xiaoer knew the shopkeeper's connections and power very well. Seeing that Shopkeeper Wang was so determined, he knew that it was useless to ask again. He stood up, glared at Jiang Xue fiercely, and then left quickly.

When Shopkeeper Wang saw Liu Xiaoer leaving, he quickly apologized to Jiang Xue: "Little girl, I was wrong just now. I wrongly blamed you. Please forgive me."

Jiang Xue waved her hand and said generously, "Shopkeeper, you don't have to be like this. Business is business. Do you still want the rice I just mentioned?"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded quickly: "Yes, of course! It doesn't matter if the quality is a little worse. I'll give you 70 coins per pound. I'll take as much as you have."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly and shook her head: "Boss, seventy-one pounds is too low. This rice of mine is not ordinary rice. It was asked by an expert to sell it to me. He said that this kind of rice has a very good auxiliary effect on the body. Therefore, it must be at least one hundred coins per pound."

Considering that this was rice produced in the space, Jiang Xue thought that the price of seventy wen was indeed too low, and even one hundred wen seemed a bit cheap.

But in order to expand sales, she decided to accept this price temporarily and planned to increase the price in the future. Therefore, she firmly said to Shopkeeper Wang: "Shopkeeper, this one hundred coins is really not expensive. How about you take a look at the goods later and then decide?"

Shopkeeper Wang frowned, obviously hesitant about the price of one hundred coins.

In his opinion, the price of grain at 70 wen was already very high. But he also understood that this was the last straw and he had to believe it.

So he nodded and decided to take a chance: "Okay, then it's settled. When can I see the goods?"

Jiang Xue checked the time and replied, "I'll ask my brother to come find you at noon. There should be several hundred dan of rice.

Remember to bring a few guys and a cart, and I will take you to where I put the rice, what do you think? "

"How many hundreds of dan?" Shopkeeper Wang asked in surprise, obviously finding the amount Jiang Xue said unbelievable. In his opinion, he would be satisfied with a few hundred jin.

However, at this time, he had no other choice but to believe Jiang Xue's words. So, he nodded and agreed on a time and place with Jiang Xue.

When it was almost time for dinner, Jiang Xue and Jiang Feng came to the pier. Although there were some shops around the pier, it seemed a bit deserted compared to the bustling streets.

Jiang Xue looked at the surrounding environment and thought to herself. She found that although there were not many stores here, each store had its own characteristics and seemed to be doing well. This made her realize that despite the fierce competition, as long as she had her own characteristics and advantages, she could gain a foothold in the market.

She decided to learn more about the business environment here, so she took Jiang Feng to a noodle shop. Although the noodle shop was not big, it was clean and tidy, attracting many customers.

"What kind of noodles do you want, sir? We have scallion noodles, vegetarian noodles, and our signature pork noodles." Seeing a guest coming, Mrs. Chen, who was helping in the kitchen, hurried out with tea.

"Scallion noodles five cents, vegetarian noodles five cents, signature pork noodles eight cents, what would you like to order, sir?" Mrs. Chen shouted as she poured tea.

Jiang Feng was a little reluctant to spend the money, "A bowl of vegetarian noodles."

"One bowl? Brother, there are two of us, how can we order one bowl?" Jiang Xue was a little confused.

Jiang Feng smiled, shook his head and said, "Brother is not hungry, Third Sister can eat alone."

At this moment, Jiang Feng's stomach growled a few times, and Jiang Feng touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xue smiled and looked at the woman in front of her and said, "Well! Give me two bowls of the signature pork noodles, one with extra noodles and one with normal amount."

Jiang Feng moved his mouth and held back his words.

When Mrs. Chen heard Jiang Xue's order, her eyes lit up. The signature pork noodles were their signature dish, and few people ordered this when they first came. She immediately agreed and turned to go into the kitchen to get busy.

Soon, two bowls of hot signature pork noodles were served to the table. One bowl had a generous portion of noodles, while the other had a normal amount of noodles, but both were covered in the fragrant pork soup, exuding an enticing aroma.

Jiang Feng looked at the noodles in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just picked up the chopsticks silently and began to enjoy this bowl of noodles which was a bit luxurious for him.

Jiang Xue began to eat her bowl of noodles in big mouthfuls. She was really hungry. At the same time, she was also observing the noodle shop to see if there was anything she could learn from it.

After finishing her noodles, Jiang Xue stopped Mrs. Chen who was about to clean up the dishes and asked, "Grandma, I want to know how is the business at this dock? Is it crowded?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment and said, "This wharf usually has pretty good business, with a lot of people coming and going. Especially during the fishing season, it's really crowded. However, normally, a small shop like ours can survive."

Jiang Xue felt more confident after hearing this. She looked at Old Lady Chen and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, your noodles are really delicious. I will come to eat them again in the future."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen smiled happily and said quickly, "Thank you for the compliment, young lady. If you like it, please come often in the future."

While eating noodles, Jiang Xue kept her eyes on the workers at the dock. Based on her observations at this moment, she found that the workers here had about a quarter of an hour for lunch, and most of them brought their own food, but a small number of them chose to eat in the noodle shop and the pancake shop opposite. After a rough understanding of the market conditions here, she had some plans.

Just as Jiang Feng had almost finished eating, Jiang Xue decided to solve the food problem first, and took Jiang Feng to look for a suitable place to store food in the streets and alleys.

Jiang Feng was somewhat familiar with the town, having accompanied his family here many times.

"Brother, is there any alley here that is relatively hidden?" Jiang Xue was not very familiar with this place, so she looked at her brother who was standing aside.

Jiang Feng thought about it, and suddenly he thought of an alley where almost no one went. When he thought of that place, Jiang Feng pulled Jiang Xue and walked quickly towards the destination.

Jiang Feng led Jiang Xue through several alleys and finally came to a relatively secluded place. This was a narrow alley. At the end of the alley was a high wall, which sealed the entire alley tightly.

"Third sister, what do you think of this place? I accidentally discovered this place when I came to the town to buy something. No one comes here. I am your big brother, aren't I awesome!" Jiang Feng showed off to Jiang Xue with some pride.

Jiang Xue looked around and indeed found no one. There was no way out in the front of the alley, only a large wall at the end of the alley.

According to the time at this point, if someone came, there should be someone here at this time. If no one is here, it must be that no one comes to this place.

"Brother, I'll wait for you here. Go call Shopkeeper Wang and bring him here." Jiang Xue instructed Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng nodded.

"Third sister, don't run around, be careful, I'll be there in a minute." Jiang Feng put down the backpack and ran out.

"Little farmer, have you harvested the crops today?" Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Xue quickly talked to the system.

[Sister Xue, the rice has been harvested, husked and stored. The twelve bags of seeds given as a reward have all been soaked. According to your request yesterday, the system has planted 11 rice and 1 rapeseed, and the corresponding points have been deducted.] The voice of the small farmer rang in Jiang Xue's mind, clear and fast.

Jiang Xue was relieved when she heard the news. With these grains as a backing, her plans in the town could proceed more smoothly.

Jiang Xue didn't know how much she had harvested this time. She had been too busy recently to count. She remembered that one bag of seeds gave 400 jin of rice, or 200 kg. It should be a lot. She would have to find out how much she had when she was going to trade with Shopkeeper Wang later.

"Small farmer, count how much rice is in the warehouse."

[Sister Xue, I took out 150kg of rice last time, and now I have 1050kg left. I just harvested 900kg, so the total is 1950kg.] The system quickly calculated and came up with the result.

"Okay, then pack them all up later, 25kg per bag, pack them up." Jiang Xue thought about asking the system to pack them up for easy sale later.

The system heard the host's arrangement and started the operation. All the rice in the warehouse was packed. After a while, all 1950kg of rice was packed.

She waved her hand, signaling the system to start releasing the rice bags. The system responded immediately, and rice bags flew out of the warehouse one by one and were neatly arranged in front of Jiang Xue.

【雪姐，板栗80kg*6、猕猴桃200kg*3、橙子80kg*6全部放入仓库】小农把刚才收获的水果统计了出来。

"Okay." Jiang Xue didn't care about the fruit. She was only concerned about the food at this moment.
