Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 36: 36 shots

”Wow, they’re really not small, and there are two of them?”

”Because we were stopped by someone on our way to the city, they offered us two hundred yuan for the wild boars. We didn’t agree, so we chose this secluded place.

Uncle, do you want them?”

You can see the big gold watch on his wrist. If he can’t afford it, it probably won’t sell well.

”Can a little girl like you make the decision?”

”I was told the wild boar is sixty cents a pound, even if one weighs seven hundred pounds.”

”Well, sixty cents isn’t cheap at all.”

Yuanyuan stopped talking. She thought to herself, even if it’s cheap, I wouldn’t sell it.

Is it easy? We even left the city. If I really were just a kid, I’d honestly have no way to do it.

”Little girl, how about this, I’ll give you four hundred for one. I’ll take both.”

Yuanyuan frowned in distress, thinking, you have money, and you’re still bargaining?

”Uncle, you seem like a rich person. These wild boars really took a lot of effort. Uncle, please be kind and don’t cut the price. Forty yuan is a drop in the bucket for you, but for us, it’s money we can’t earn in a year.”

Chai Dongsheng looked at the pitiful little girl and suddenly felt compassion. He appeared refined and approachable, but actually, everything underground here was his.

”Fine, I won’t cut the price. I’ll give you eight hundred forty.”

Yuanyuan spoke sweet words in a torrent.

Chai Dongsheng generously took out the money, counted out sixteen bills directly, and handed the rest to Yuanyuan, ”Little girl, count them.”

”I trust you, uncle.”

”Uncle, do I have to stay here and watch over you?”

”No need for you, you hurry home.”

”Okay, uncle, goodbye then.”

After speaking, Yuanyuan waved with a smile and turned to leave.

Actually, her heart was beating like a drum, just worried that someone might come and snatch her money.

Finally leaving, walking on the street, Yuanyuan felt at ease. No, she needed to leave here quickly.

Planning to head directly towards the nearest county town she had heard about.

Once she left the city and reached the countryside, Yuanyuan felt relieved.

Actually, along the way, she had been observing, and there was no one following her. That guy was quite reliable.

Without stopping along the way, an hour later she entered the county town. It’s pretty nice here, looking old-fashioned, with a flavor of the times.

The main thing here was to sell all the fish. But now, she should go eat.

Fortunately, the snow rake was in the space, so it wouldn’t stand out too much. The wild boar thing earlier was really dangerous.

She had no idea, people like Chai Dongsheng had no suspicions, which was why she was blessed.

She inquired a bit and thought she should sell at the biggest factory gate, otherwise, with so much, she really couldn’t sell it all.

She found out the biggest factory here was the textile factory. It used to belong to a famous merchant who later donated it. It became state-owned after that.

That’s the place. She had a few hours, and she could prepare by packing everything into burlap sacks. Pulling them along would also work.

There wasn’t much snow on the road, and she was worried the snow rake wouldn’t be able to pull it.

No way, she’d better go buy a cart first.

Yuanyuan was small but had a sweet tongue, and in no time, she found out where the carts were sold. But these carts reached up to her chest. She tried one, and it was manageable. So, she spent forty yuan to buy one.

She pulled it away. When it got to around one in the afternoon, there wasn’t anyone outside. So she found a hidden spot, put all the fish on the cart, but it wouldn’t move at all.

She sat on the handlebars, troubled. Her tiny frame really wasn’t powerful enough.

She thought she’d look for help later.

People who are blessed never have to worry too much. Here came a naive-looking guy, honest and straightforward.

”Brother, yes, I’m calling you.”

”Little sis, what do you need?”

”Big brother, could you help me move this cart to the gate of the textile factory? I really can’t manage it.”

”Sure, no problem, but where are your family members?”

”They went off on some business, but they’ll meet me at the textile factory gate by five o’clock.”

”Okay, I’ll help you get it there.”

”Big brother, you’re really a good person, thank you so much, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do.”

”No problem, just keep up.”

Yuanyuan jogged along behind him, and in just ten minutes, she was at the gate of the textile factory.

”Alright, this is the gate of the textile factory, wait here.”

”Big brother, wait a moment,” Yuanyuan said as she untied the bag, took out a big fish, and handed it over.

”Big brother, please don’t refuse. These are the fish our family plans to sell here. You must take one.”

”Then I won’t be polite. Are all these fish for sale?”

”Yes, they are.”

”Are they all this big?”

”Yes, they’re all about the same size.”

”Alright, if anyone asks, I’ll tell them to come here to buy fish.”

Believe it or not, as he walked along with a big fish, quite a few people asked where it came from. Knowing the big fish were being sold at the textile factory gate, many people came over.

Yuanyuan was pouring the fish onto the ground, thinking about displaying them clearly, right?

She was going to price each fish at four yuan. Selling for less felt like a loss.

From afar, she saw many people coming over. Those who wanted to buy fish saw Yuanyuan, so they quickly gathered around.

”Little girl, how much are the fish?”

”Four yuan each. They’re all this big. Miss this chance and there won’t be another. Hurry up, if this large fish is on the New Year’s Eve dinner table, next year will be prosperous, with plenty to spare.”

”Wow, little girl, you really know how to talk. I’ll take this one.”

”I want this one.”

”Folks, pay and take one yourself.”

About seven or eight people came, each taking a fish, and more continued to come.

In less than half an hour, she sold five sacks of fish. Each sack had seven or eight fish, about forty in total, which was really not bad.

Taking advantage of the lull, she crouched down and brought out everything from the space, and now they were truly gone.

Sitting on the handlebars, she smiled at the fish. Nothing was as thrilling as making money.

A group of people came over, business was back.

This time, they bought fifty more fish altogether, a hundred fish or so left, and today, she could definitely sell them all.

After this group left, the textile factory finished work. People riding their bikes out after work saw the big fish set close to the gate, and many gathered around again.

Yuanyuan started to shout, ”Everyone, come take a look, fresh big fish, four yuan each. These big fish are a rare find, children eating them become smart, old folks become healthy.”

”Haha, little girl, you really know how to talk. What about if I eat it?” said a middle-aged woman.

”Auntie, you will become even more beautiful after eating it.”
