Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

In the backyard of Feng's grain warehouse, Shopkeeper Wang, who was walking around the house at this time, was extremely anxious because the time was almost up, but the little girl's brother had not yet arrived.

Although Manager Wang didn't quite believe the several hundred stones that Jiang Xue said, he still arranged for five or six men to push carts outside the gate, waiting for the other party to arrive and then set off.

Shopkeeper Wang had lost his patience. He laughed at himself for believing a little girl's words and pinning his hopes on a stranger. He was about to go out and dismiss the waiters. As soon as he left the house, the waiter in the front yard ran in and said, "Shopkeeper, the other party is here."

Shopkeeper Wang was anxious and walked out of the door of the grain shop quickly, and saw Jiang Feng, who was jogging all the way, finally arrived.

"Is the goods ready?" Shopkeeper Wang grabbed the other person's hand, a little anxious.

Jiang Feng didn't know if he was ready, but it was his third sister who asked him to come. He shook his head and looked at Shopkeeper Wang: "My third sister asked me to take you there. Shopkeeper Wang, let's go!"

Jiang Xue gently waved her hands, as if summoning some magical power. In a blink of an eye, bags of rice appeared out of thin air in the corner of the room, neatly stacked against the wall. There were 78 bags in total, each weighing 25 kilograms.

Half a minute later, Jiang Feng led Shopkeeper Wang to the depths of the alley. Shopkeeper Wang saw the mountain of bags piled up in front of the little girl Jiang Xue. He walked up to them in disbelief and opened a bag at random.

"Is this rice? All of it?" Shopkeeper Wang widened his eyes, looking at the white rice grains in the bag. He could hardly believe his eyes.

Jiang Xue stood aside with a faint smile on her face, as if everything was under control. She didn't say anything, but just signaled with her eyes that Shopkeeper Wang should continue the inspection.

Shopkeeper Wang held the rice in his hand, and he was filled with indescribable excitement. He had never seen such high-quality rice before. Each grain was plump and smooth, exuding a faint rice fragrance. The quality of this rice even exceeded the tribute rice that the master had previously paid as tribute. It was simply a rare treasure.

Suddenly, an idea came to Shopkeeper Wang's mind. What if he gave the rice to the Second Master who was in Chuanzhou? He was immersed in his own reverie and didn't notice the strange looks of Jiang Feng and Jiang Xue at all.

However, he did not expect that many years later, the Cloud Town he once wanted to escape from would become the richest place on the continent. This was something he suddenly realized when he looked back on the past many years later.

Shopkeeper Wang knew that there must be someone behind this little girl, but it would be inconvenient if the other person didn't show up. The master must want to use this girl to sell the rice. He was a smart man and knew that there were some things he shouldn't ask.

Shopkeeper Wang had a big smile on his face and seemed very happy: "I'll give you 150 coins per pound, and I want all the rice here." He obviously wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with the possible master behind Jiang Xue.

Seeing that the other party was so happy, Jiang Xue nodded and responded simply: "Okay."

Shopkeeper Wang immediately waved his hand and five or six of his assistants quickly walked into the alley. In just a quarter of an hour, they loaded all the rice into the cart and began to transport it to the backyard of the grain store.

Soon, all the carts arrived at the small gate at the backyard of the grain store. The workers quickly delivered the rice to the designated place, and everything was in order.

Manager Wang finally felt relieved. He weighed a bag of rice, then turned to look at Jiang Xue and calculated the bill in detail: "The weight is about 50 jin per bag, and there are 78 bags in total, which is about 3900 jin, or about 48 dan. According to the price we just agreed on, 1 jin is equal to 585 wen, so I'll give you liang. Is that right?"

Jiang Xue nodded slightly to show her agreement: "Yes, 585 taels. Shopkeeper Wang, can you change 85 taels into change?" She was going to buy some things later, so she thought it would be more convenient to change it into change.

Manager Wang turned around and entered the room without hesitation. After a while, he came out with five silver notes of 3 taels, five ingots of taels of silver, ingots of tael of silver, and copper coins, and handed them to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue had a good impression of Shopkeeper Wang and thought she should thank him for his generosity. So, she turned and walked to Jiang Feng's position, motioning him to put down the backpack. She pretended to reach into the backpack, but actually took out six fresh oranges from the space and put them into the bag of the backpack. Then, she picked up an orange and handed it to Shopkeeper Wang, smiling and saying, "Shopkeeper Wang, this is an orange, which is different from the oranges we grow locally. This orange has an excellent therapeutic effect on acne."

After saying that, Jiang Xue took the money handed over by Shopkeeper Wang and put the banknotes into her small bag. In fact, she used the small bag as a cover to put the banknotes into the space.

Looking at the huge oranges in his hand, Shopkeeper Wang was somewhat skeptical about the therapeutic effect Jiang Xue mentioned, but looking at these fresh fruits, he remembered that his wife liked to eat oranges. So he decided to buy some: "How many oranges do you have? I want them all. My wife likes to eat oranges very much."

Considering that orange saplings are not currently for sale in the mall, and it is unknown when they will be available next time, and that these oranges have special therapeutic effects, Jiang Xue felt that she couldn't sell them too cheaply. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shopkeeper Wang and said seriously, "Shopkeeper Wang, I'll set the price of these oranges at one tael of silver per pound."

"What? One tael of silver per pound? Forget it." Shopkeeper Wang thought these oranges were only worth a few dozen coins per pound, but he didn't expect the price to be so high. He instantly lost interest in buying them.

After the payment and delivery of the oranges, Jiang Xue took her brother and left the backyard.

Thinking about her new business, Jiang Xue decided to buy some ingredients and tools first. So she turned and walked to the front door of the food store and walked in without hesitation.

Seeing Jiang Xue coming again, Shopkeeper Wang thought she had forgotten something, so he hurried over to her and asked, "Little girl, did you leave anything behind?"

Jiang Xue smiled and shook her head, and replied: "No, I plan to start a business in a while, and I need to buy some bowls and dry goods."

Upon hearing that Jiang Xue wanted to buy something, Shopkeeper Wang warmly invited her into the store to choose.

Jiang Xue looked around and her eyes fell on a row of earthen bowls. She felt that these bowls were exactly what she needed.

Seeing that Jiang Xue was interested in the earthenware bowls, Shopkeeper Wang thought that these bowls were not expensive, so he might as well give them to her as a personal favor. He would definitely do business with this girl in the future. So, he generously said, "Next time you have something good, remember to look for me. This bowl is for you."

Jiang Xue felt a little surprised. She really didn't expect Manager Wang to be so generous.

"By the way, I saw you bought a bowl, you must be planning to make food!" Shopkeeper Wang continued, "The second master brought a lot of seafood from Dongzhou last time, but people here are not used to eating it.

These things have been stored for a long time, and I don't know if they are still edible. I see that you are knowledgeable, so I will give these things to you." After saying that, he took out a hemp bag of dried seafood from the cabinet and placed it in front of Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue saw the dried seafood in front of her and found that there were many kinds. After careful identification, she found that there were kelp, sea cabbage, shrimp, seaweed, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, squid, scallops, etc. She felt very happy that these things were very useful for her plan.

"Thank you, Manager Wang. These things are very useful to me. Next time I have something good, I will definitely come to you first. If you need anything, such as rice, wheat, etc., you can write a letter and ask the waiter to send it to the cattle station outside the city, find an old man named Jiang, and ask him to bring the letter to me." Jiang Xue said gratefully.

"Thank you, young lady. You will definitely buy a lot of things later! I will ask the waiter to take you there later." When Shopkeeper Wang heard Jiang Xue say this, he was delighted, knowing that the other party must have a big business. He decided to have a good relationship with this girl in the future.

Jiang Xue originally planned to make a large purchase, but considering that if she took a bullock cart back, the news would spread quickly throughout the village, she thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then I'll go and arrange it now. I'll wait for you at the horse station outside the city. Put these goods in the carriage first." Without waiting for Jiang Xue to reply, Wang called the boy who was feeding the horses outside. After packing the bowls and seafood, Jiang Feng and the boy put the things in the carriage together.

It was getting late, but Jiang Xue hadn't started shopping yet. She said goodbye to Shopkeeper Wang and took Jiang Feng to the market. On the way, she met Aunt Jiang Lu who had taken the ox cart in the morning, so she greeted her and told her that she would not take the ox cart today.

Jiang Xue was thinking about what to buy. When she arrived at the market, she saw a stall selling chickens, ducks and geese. The stall owner shouted loudly: "Chickens are 20 cents each, ducks are 20 cents each, geese are 40 cents each, and piglets are 400 cents each." Jiang Xue thought about it and decided to buy 20 chickens, 20 ducks, 10 geese and two piglets. Although this was already a lot, for a meat lover like Jiang Xue, she still felt that she bought too little.

After calculating the bill, the total cost was about two taels of silver. Because Jiang Xue bought a lot, the stall owner also gave her a bamboo basket for live poultry and promised to deliver it to the outside of the city later. The stall owner saw that Jiang Xue paid without blinking an eye, and was very straightforward.

Jiang Feng watched silently from the side. Although he felt a little sad, he felt a little comforted when he thought that these chickens, ducks and geese were all female and would lay eggs after being raised.

"Let's go, big brother, to the next one." Jiang Xue was craving for meat and had planned to buy more last night. She took Jiang Feng to the next stall, ready to continue her shopping trip.
