Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

Ye Chuyi felt that this was the most peaceful sleep she had ever had since she traveled through time.

The aroma of food spread across half the yard and reached her nose.

Ye Chuyi suddenly sat up from the bed, "I really miss the taste of chili peppers."

[There are peppers for sale in the system store. There are all kinds of peppers. Host, are you sure you don’t want to have some?]

As Baizai spoke, he took a bright red bell pepper and swung it in the palm of his hand.

Ye Chuyi turned his eyes away silently and replied insincerely, "I don't like bell peppers, you can keep them for yourself."

"Are you up on the first day of the new year? Do you want to come out for breakfast?"

Liao Sanniang's voice rang out in the yard, sounding very pleasant.

"This is coming."

Ye Chuyi responded while adjusting his clothes. After making sure everything was in place, he opened the door and walked out.

"This small courtyard is really a bit shabby. Did you have a good rest last night, Chuyi?"

Liao Sanniang greeted them warmly and placed the hot food in her hand on the stone table in the yard.

Ye Chuyi felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "Sister Liao is such a good cook. It must be hard work for you to get up so early to cook."

"No way, I was the one who cooked at home. Didn't you say you liked spicy noodles yesterday? I specially fried a few dishes for you to try."

Liao Sanniang was busy running around like a gentle and virtuous sister at home, completely different from the person I saw when I first entered the store yesterday.

If Ye Chuyi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that someone could change so much.

Sure enough, the first impression is always full of metaphysics.

"Thank you, Sister Liao. I like it very much."

The food was not fancy, just simple farm dishes, but Ye Chuyi felt as if she was in another world. It had not been long since she came here, but she felt as if she had not seen such normal food for many years.

Liao Sanniang enthusiastically picked up some food for her, her face full of anticipation.

Ye Chuyi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He instantly felt his taste buds surrounded by a familiar feeling.

If you taste it carefully, you can find the difference.

Compared with the current chili peppers, the spiciness of this chili powder is much purer and very satisfying.

The two chatted and laughed and quickly finished their breakfast.

Ye Chu realized for the first time that he had not seen Shanda since early in the morning.

"Isn't the mountain big?"

"Him? He went out to have breakfast. He can't eat anything spicy. When he heard that I was going to use chili powder to cook, he ran out early."

Liao Sanniang replied casually that she was not surprised at all.

Walk to the front shop.

The shop door was already open, but as it was still early, no one came. Shanda was sitting at the door, waving a rag out of boredom.

When he saw two people coming, he quickly stood up and greeted them.

The things Ye Chuyi bought yesterday were packed neatly in a basket and placed next to the counter so they could be seen at a glance.

Picnic curled the corners of his lips and felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you, Sister Liao, for your hospitality. I have to go now. I'm afraid my family is waiting for me at the city gate. When we have a chance to meet again in the future, I will definitely treat Sister Liao to a good meal."

"I really took note of what you said on Chuyi. When you get to a safe place, remember to tell me."

Liao Sanniang patted her shoulder reluctantly, then as if she suddenly remembered something, she walked behind the counter and took out a square oil paper package.

"This is some leftover sugar from the shop. There isn't much left anyway, and I don't have anything good to give you. It's fine for you to lick your lips on the way, but please don't despise it."

After saying this, Liao Sanniang stuffed the paper bag into the backpack without saying a word.

They say there isn't much, but looking at the weight, it must be at least two or three pounds.

Ye Chuyi was deeply touched. She had forgotten about the sugar and never expected that her sister, whom she had just met a few times, would give it to her.

"Thank you so much, Sister Liao, but I don't have anything to give you in return. You see, Sister Liao really likes my silver ingot. Why don't you help me change it into small change?"

After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, he quickly took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his sleeve.

"Are you really willing to give it up?" Liao Sanniang took the silver ingot in surprise and touched it again and again.

"Sister Liao, please help me change it quickly. If I can't bear to part with it later, Sister Liao will have no more."

Ye Chuyi smiled and made a joke.

Liao Sanniang gave her a reproachful look and quickly counted out a sufficient amount of silver from the money box.

"Chuyi, you must be careful on the road, and when you get there, remember to write to me."

Ye Chu responded one by one, and under Liao Sanniang's reluctant gaze, he quickly left the shop.

When she reached a corner where no one was paying attention, she put everything in the backpack into the space.

[Host, there is a clothing store in front, do you want to go take a look?]

When it woke up, it saw that its host was disgusted with the clothes she was wearing.

"Is it far?" Ye Chuyi looked at the sky and was very excited.

When they were in Shanglin County, although Qinghuan was bought clothes by them, they were all dresses that looked good but were not practical, and were really not suitable for wearing while fleeing from famine.

During those days of walking in the mountains, her clothes were always caught on various branches and weeds, which annoyed her to death.

[Not far away, just on the road we must take.]

As soon as Bai Zai finished speaking, Ye Chuyi ran out.

Since there is no time to waste, what are you waiting for? Go check it out!

The ready-made clothing shop was not very big, with more than half of the space being occupied by ready-made clothes, which are common in this era, and the other half being cloth.

Maybe because business was bad, the shopkeeper sat there mending things listlessly and didn't show any reaction when he saw customers coming.

Ye Chuyi looked around the shop without much concern, took down the clothes he liked and brought them to the shopkeeper.

"Boss, if there are any of these clothes that fit me, please help me get them. If there are other suitable models, please take them out and let me see them."

The shopkeeper first glanced at her, then looked at her uncertainly, and then asked without hope, "Miss, are you sure you want all of them? These ready-made clothes are not cheap."

Normally, ordinary people are reluctant to buy ready-made clothes, let alone in this year.

"These are all clothes made of new cloth. The cheapest linen ones cost 200 wen, and the ones made of fine cotton like these cost 800 wen. Are you sure you want all of them?"

Ye Chuyi estimated silently in his heart and nodded vigorously, "I want both!"

She can still afford it.

"Okay, wait a moment, girl."

The shopkeeper instantly smiled and his hands moved much more skillfully. He quickly took out the clothes that Yi Chuyi wanted and also got other styles according to her body size.

Ye Chuyi took a rough look and found no problem, so he waved his hand and ordered them all to go.

When I was about to pay, I suddenly thought of Yaya and stopped quickly.
