Li Xiang thought for a moment and said: “You give me US$ 5.”

Five dollars as a deposit is a bit much, but Qin Xue didn’t hesitate to pay Li Xiang.

Because Qin Xue could see that both Li Xiang and his wife are honest people.

“Uncle Li, I’ll leave now and come back the day after tomorrow.” Qin Xue didn’t want to waste any more time, as she still needed to go to the small market to see if there was anything she needed to buy and bring back.

“Alright, just come and pick it up when you’re ready. I guarantee it’ll be beautifully done.” Li Xiang assured her with a smile.

“Thank you, Uncle Li.” Qin Xue replied with a smile.

Qin Xue went to the market to buy some tofu, saw some clay pots for sale and bought a few large ones, and a few small ones, she gave 50 cents to the owner to help her deliver them to the army compound. She was going to make some pickles and sour vegetables for a sour vegetable fish dish.

If it wasn’t inconvenient, she could use them to make dried vegetables, especially dried bamboo shoots for braising with meat, that would be mouth-watering just thinking about it.

Dried green beans braised with meat also smells delicious. It’s a pity she has the Golden Finger and can’t use it openly.

Qin Xue bought a pound of red beans and a pound of soybeans. When she saw someone selling shrimp, her eyes lit up. She had been here for nearly half a year and hadn’t seen any shrimp.

Today her luck was incredibly good, as she came across them.

“Sir, how much are these shrimp?” Qin Xue asked the middle-aged man selling shrimp.

“Miss, these shrimp are a bit expensive. Do you want to buy them?” It’s not that the man didn’t want to sell them to Qin Xue, but in this small place, not many people are willing to buy this stuff to eat.

Because farm families would occasionally catch a few mud shrimps in the river, but these were sea shrimps, which are much more expensive.

“Tell me how much they are, and then I’ll decide whether to buy them or not.” Qin Xue didn’t expect there to be a businessman like this.

“These are sea shrimps, they are US$ 1.5 a pound, they are indeed a bit expensive, but my cost is also high.

Look at me, I’ve been sitting here for half a day, and everyone just asks the price, then leave without buying a thing.” The middle-aged man was helpless.

If he lowers the price, he would lose money. He just impulsively brought them back, thinking of making some money for his wife and kids.

But he hasn’t sold a single shrimp, and now he’s regretting it. Qin Xue came over, and he didn’t want to rip her off since he’s an honest man.

“Sir, why don’t you sell them in the county town? There are more wealthy people there, and more buyers.” Qin Xue asked while looking at the shrimps.

“l can’t go that far because I have to take care of my family.

A friend of mine turned me onto these shrimps, saying they are tasty and fresh, so I believed him. But I didn’t expect that not a single one would be sold.” The middle-aged man told Qin Xue the truth.

“How about this, sir? You give me a better price, and I’ll take all of them, including these. What do you think?” Qin Xue knew these were sea shrimps, as well as mud shrimps and crabs, she wanted them all.

“What? You want them all?” Cui Da asked in surprise.

“Yeah, if the price is right, I’ll take all of them.” Qin Xue looked at the sea shrimps, there were about 20 pounds of them.

The remaining mud shrimps and crabs are no more than 2.5 kg together. She could eat them, after all, she still has some money on her now.

As long as these things enter her space, she won’t have to spend money on them in the future. This is very cost-effective, just spend money once for her future food cravings.

This is the advantage of having a Golden Finger, but unfortunately, it can only be hidden secretly, so no one knows.

Actually, this is also a kind of pain. Even though she can eat and drink spicy food, she still feels like she can only eat husks and vegetables somehow.

Cui Da saw that Qin Xue wasn’t joking, and his heart was overjoyed. When a customer finally came along, it was a big spender..
