Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 160 routes on

"Alright, then give him a hundred. Otherwise, sell them based on size. Our Winter Melons are about ten pounds each. We can sell them for one yuan each."

Yuanyuan felt this was a good idea, as it was less hassle.

Tan Shaoting felt sorry for Yuanyuan sitting there. He took off his coat and spread it on the long bench, "You lie down for a while."

"Put your coat back on quickly, I’m not tired."

Yuanyuan picked up the coat and draped it over Tan Shaoting.

Their dinner was a meat bun each and a large mug of powdered milk.

The meat bun wasn’t much, not very flavorful, but the sweet fragrance of the milk powder drew attention.

The two of them huddled together, it was too cold here. There was no heating, but at least it wasn’t windy like outside.

Tan Shaoting knew Yuanyuan loved peanuts and sunflower seeds, but they weren’t available at the train station.

It wasn’t until after eleven that they left. They walked around and then made their way to the agreed alley.

They brought out two carts, unloading grain and two pigs.

The two of them vigilantly watched their surroundings.

Five minutes later, two people arrived, and it was easy to recognize Zhang San by his build.

Zhang San felt relieved seeing the two carts in the alley.

Both parties went with their selected items, exchanged, and then parted ways. However, Tan Shaoting told Zhang San to come back in two hours. There were still many things left, and a hundred Winter Melons, one yuan each.

Zhang San excitedly nodded several times.

Yuanyuan and Tan walked around for a bit outside.

They found a spot. The two of them took out a flashlight to inspect the 245 liang of Jinyu.

In fact, back then, the gold measurement was 16 liang per jin. Not to mention, 245 liang of Jinyu was over fifteen jin.

Yuanyuan stored it inside her space. Its quality was truly remarkable.

As for Zhang San, he pulled the cart home directly. Under the light, he checked the grain and pork; they were top-grade items indeed.

Remembering that the people mentioned coming back later, he calculated that he’d still need about 259 liang.

He only had a bit over 200 liang left on hand. He counted it out and then waited.

He knew that with these goods, even if they couldn’t double in value, they could definitely earn him another trip’s worth of profits.

The couple stored everything in their cellar and planned to start selling the next day. They decided to wait until December to sell the pork, hoping for a good price then.

The pork was very fat and well-prepared. No bones, no offal.

At the scheduled time, the couple went again.

Those people were still waiting there. After loading up, "Comrades, please contact me if there’s more in the future. I’ll start preparing Jinyu tomorrow."

"That’ll be in January or later."

"That’s fine, anytime."

It was already five in the morning, and the two returned to the train station. They bought tickets, but there were still three hours before they could board the train.

They didn’t go anywhere. They just sat in the waiting hall.

Yuanyuan took out a hot water bag from her space and slipped it inside her coat, hugging it. Tan Shaoting declined it.

Once on the train, Tan Shaoting took a large Winter Melon to the attendant. It actually got them a berth compartment.

He was worried about Yuanyuan, sitting outside unable to lie down and rest.

Once they were in the berth, they relaxed significantly. In this small city, they hadn’t expected such fortune; so much Jinyu, indeed.

While Tan Shaoting was outside getting water, Yuanyuan slipped into her space, took a bath, and changed clothes before coming out.

They ate some dumplings and sesame seed cakes, and each had a cucumber. Afterward, they lay down to sleep.

In C City, they weren’t as lucky as in A City. There was no one like Zhang San, and they didn’t want to sell bit by bit themselves; it was too risky. So they quickly moved on to the next city.

Here, they were lucky again. They managed to trade two hundred Winter Melons, a thousand jin of sweet potatoes, two thousand jin of corn, and two hundred and ten jin of pork.

This time, they only got over ten jin of Jinyu in exchange, the rest was money.

However, Yuanyuan had luck at the junkyard and acquired some good quality wooden furniture.

"Why would you two want wood that doesn’t burn well?"

They gave the gatekeeper a Winter Melon; he was very kind to them.

"Sir, we want to take it back and assemble it ourselves. We don’t have any furniture at home."

"Oh, that’s it. Come on, I’ll take you to buy furniture directly. They have a lot of furniture and no one to sell it to."

Yuanyuan was delighted. She watched as the old man locked the gate, and the two of them followed him.

They arrived at a household. "You knock on the door; I have to get back to work."

They thanked the old man and watched him leave before knocking on the door.

The door was opened by a young woman, indeed a strikingly pretty one, someone who brightens one’s view at a glance.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Comrade, we were at the junkyard wanting to buy furniture, the attendant told us you have furniture for sale, so we came to take a look." Yuanyuan handled this part.

"Oh, please come in."

Yuanyuan saw a room filled with furniture, and delight spread across her face.

Tan Shaoting understood Yuanyuan; he knew she liked it.

"Comrade, how much for these pieces?"

"Which one do you want?"

"We’ll take all of it."

"All of it?"

Yuanyuan nodded. "Yes, name your price?"

"If you want it all, then a hundred yuan, though my grandmother said the wood alone for the dressing table cost a hundred and sixty."

The young woman spoke with a hint of sadness. It had to be sold. Her aunt and uncle wanted to burn them, but her grandmother couldn’t bear to part with them.

So they were all gathered together, and if no one could take them, they would have to be burned.

"Alright, we’ll take it all. We’ll come to pick it up tonight. Do you want money, or do you want corn?"

The young woman nodded, "Okay, I trust you. You have corn? How much?"

Happy to be trusted, Yuanyuan replied, "Twenty cents per jin."

"Then give me fifty jin of corn."

They arranged to come at eight in the evening and then left.

It was broad daylight, so they strolled around the city. frёeωebɳovel.com

To see if a city is wealthy, just visit the department store and see the supplies.

Actually, the supply types were similar; the main thing was the quantity.

They were just there to enjoy the spectacle, not needing anything.

They overheard that there were more fabrics supplied here.

After inquiring, they learned there was a textile mill nearby, hence the advantage.

When they came out of the building, "Let’s sell Winter Melons outside the textile mill this afternoon. If we could trade for fabric, that’d be great."

"I doubt the regular workers will have fabric," Tan Shaoting said helplessly, thinking the girl was too optimistic.
