From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

The turn of events completely exceeded Mu Shuangshuang’s expectations.

What was even more terrifying was Zhao Erbiao’s extraordinary stubbornness and terrifying execution.

After agreeing with Mu Shuangshuang, he immediately gathered a few senior escort masters in the agency who had a say.

He talked about establishing a base in the Northwest to facilitate the people from Zhenyuan Escort Agency coming and going.

Everyone unanimously voted in favor.

In the afternoon, they started looking at houses.

A courtyard with three entrances and exits, also with a well, and as long as there wasn’t an extremely severe drought in the summer, it wouldn’t dry up.

In this water-scarce Northwest, it was considered a treasure.

The homeowner’s only requirement was that someone must give water to those who come for it in the summer.

No one had any objection, and the price was agreed upon.

Zhao Erbiao bought the house and took the land and house deeds.

Mu Shuangshuang transformed into an escort master at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency’s Northwest base.

According to Zhao Erbiao’s intentions, Mu Shuangshuang could also take on some tasks with a well-calculated schedule.

Usually, agency people only run an escort route, that is, they bring goods on the way there.

On the return, they usually carry their own items, some for personal use and some traded for what the county lacks, but ultimately it’s just small business and can’t earn much money!

Now that Zhenyuan Escort Agency has a base, big business can also be negotiated in the future!

Knowing that Mu Shuangshuang was staying, Ni Fa, who had always been in conflict with her, cried bitterly.

”Boohoo, Da Niu, I shouldn’t have said that to you. Why can’t you understand and stay in this godforsaken place?”

Everyone thought this was a thankless task.

The Northwest seemed to have meat and staple food, but those accustomed to refined rice and vegetables couldn’t adapt to this life of coarse grains and fewer vegetables.

Eating meat every meal not only inflames the gums but also makes the excrement foul-smelling!

”Lifa, you shouldn’t worry about why I’m staying, just follow Brother Zhao and become a good escort master,” said Mu Shuangshuang.

Ni Fa nodded heavily, ”I will, striving together for both of you!”

”But Da Niu, please don’t be mad at me, I’m not a bad person, just not good with words!”

Ni Fa tried to explain to Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang’s gaze remained on Ni Fa.

She was searching for the kind of desire Zhao Erbiao talked about.

Zhao Erbiao hadn’t lied; when Ni Fa talked about striving together for her and Shen Feng, there was a gleam in his eyes that she couldn’t replicate.

Just as she couldn’t force herself to say she didn’t like Fengzi or liked someone else.

”Alright, it’s not like I don’t know you, why would I be mad at you?”

Mu Shuangshuang was peaceful, which comforted Ni Fa significantly.

However, he was still reluctant to part.

He said, ”Da Niu, though we can still meet, I still hope you do well. If you meet Brother Shen Feng, tell him that I, Ni Fa, will always consider him a brother! If he’s willing, I’ll help him in any way I can!”

As for Shen Feng, people didn’t show much displeasure.

Mu Shuangshuang nodded eagerly, ”I know, you should stop nagging, or you’ll annoy me to death!”

”Hmph, see if you can still say that after I become Chief, I’ll show you!”

Ni Fa gestured as if to hit.

Everyone laughed along.

Due to Zhao Erbiao’s sudden decision, everyone decided to leave Xing City early to return and report to the Chief and discuss the matter.

However, since Zhao Erbiao made the decision, it was a done deal.

Mu Shuangshuang saw off her fellow escort agency members.

Looking at the three-entry courtyard, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

Still, she commissioned a plaque, Zhenyuan Escort Agency Xingcheng Branch.

The name was strange and modern, but its meaning was clear enough for those seeking business to visit.

The Northwest lacked vegetables, and on her first day cooking alone, Mu Shuangshuang found out that vegetables were much more expensive than beef and mutton.

Cabbage and such were rare commodities.

It’s not just because of the water source, the temperature difference was also a big problem.

The Northwest had a massive temperature difference between day and night, deadly cold at dawn and dusk.

Moreover, this kind of cold was entirely different from the county Mu Shuangshuang was used to.

Mu Shuangshuang donned her cotton-padded coat early, meanwhile starting to grow bean sprouts.

Bean sprouts were probably the easiest green vegetable to obtain. People in this era generally didn’t know how to grow bean sprouts.

Moreover, green beans were expensive, so not many could be wasted.

So, bean sprouts were indeed a rare item.

Mu Shuangshuang started to set up a stand to sell bean sprouts.

At the same time, she was probing for information among the vendors.

Anyone selling goods at the market would likely have some inside information.

Also, the barracks had so many people who definitely needed food.

In this era, soldiers in the barracks certainly wouldn’t grow their own vegetables.

Unlike modern times, where soldiers might have their own vegetable gardens and farm in their spare time after training.

Therefore, those soldiers had to rely on purchasing supplies.

Mu Shuangshuang waited for two whole days and gathered some clues.

But she couldn’t be sure if the buyers were people from the barracks.

Finally, on the third day.

A lean man came to her stand.

The man focused on the bean sprouts she placed on the ground.

Mu Shuangshuang’s bean sprouts grew well and were sold fresh daily.

Many people had already purchased bean sprouts from her.

Most importantly, the price of her bean sprouts was not higher than that of other greens, not more expensive than meat.

The lean man looked at the bean sprouts in the basket and asked, ”Can you guarantee a daily supply of bean sprouts?”

”Daily?” Mu Shuangshuang feigned confusion.

”Here’s the thing, I’m the buyer for the county’s restaurant, and I want to buy some bean sprouts for our restaurant. If you can supply them, we can make a deal! I’ll send someone to pick them up daily!”

The man’s words were convincing.

Mu Shuangshuang squinted her eyes, making a small test.

While weighing the bean sprouts, she pretended to accidentally drop the weight on the man’s foot.

Ordinarily, it might have hit, but the man dodged.

Not only did he dodge, but he kindly picked up the weight for Mu Shuangshuang.

Clearly, he was someone well-trained.

Mu Shuangshuang understood.

She sold all the bean sprouts to the man, offering him a very favorable price.

Seeing the man’s pleasantly surprised expression, Mu Shuangshuang knew that the day when she would meet Fengzi was getting closer!

Mu Shuangshuang had considered going to that desert directly to search.

But she knew better, reckoning if she went recklessly, she’d be taken as a spy and wouldn’t know how she died.

So instead of risking it, she decided to send a signal to Fengzi.

She had arrived!

The lean man indeed belonged to the military camp and held a certain position in the cookhouse.

He transported two baskets of bean sprouts back to the camp, unsurprisingly attracting attention from everyone in the cookhouse!
