Zhao Chuchu left her house early in the morning.

Xie Heng opened his eyes and looked at the closed door. An unknown emotion appeared in his eyes.

Where did Zhao Chuchu go?

Of course, she went to “buy” seeds!

She went to the largest department store in Yuanjiang County.

Zhao Chuchu didn’t understand why the Wei Dynasty didn’t make soybeans their main crop. Yet, in the history of her country in her previous life, soybeans entered the homes of tens of thousands of families as their primary food source.

“How much are the soybeans?”

Zhao Chuchu walked straight to the barrel containing the soybeans. She picked up a handful and examined them.

“14 cents for every kilogram.”

Rice costs 30 cents per kilogram, and soybeans cost less than half the price of rice!

“If I buy in large quantities, how much discount can you give me?” Zhao Chuchu put down the soybeans, then walked toward the counter and looked at the store owner.

The store owner stopped settling accounts and raised his head to look Zhao Chuchu in the eyes.

“What do you mean by large quantities? 50 kilograms? Girl, I’m not just running my mouth here. You can ask any store. Edible crops cost more than this. I didn’t charge you anything ridiculous. 14 cents is as low as it gets.”

The plague had just passed, and everything was expensive right now. He didn’t jack up the prices to take advantage of the situation and make a fortune.

“How much do you have?”

The store owner sized Zhao Chuchu up, and he tried to judge whether Zhao Chuchu was being serious or joking based on her expression.

“I have several thousand kilograms in stock. If you want all of them, I can sell them to you for 12 cents per kilogram.”

“Alright.”

Zhao Chuchu agreed without even thinking.

The people of this era didn’t bother to find out how to eat soybeans. Other than boiling, frying, and stewing them in soup, there was pretty much no other way to eat soybeans.

The store owner was shocked. He said, “Girl, it’s early in the morning. Don’t joke with me!”

“I’m not joking. I’ll take everything you have. Will you deliver it to my place?” Zhao Chuchu asked.

The store owner got a little more serious. “Soybeans aren’t eaten every day, unlike rice. There’s no way you can finish several thousand kilograms before they go bad. Girl, were you trying to buy rice and got it wrong?”

Zhao Chuchu rubbed her face. This was the disadvantage of looking too young. She even coiled her hair up, yet this store owner still wouldn’t believe her!

[In ancient times, when a girl coiled her hair up, it indicated that she was mature and ready for marriage.]

She took out her purse and slammed it on the counter. “Are you going to sell them to me or not?”

The store owner picked up the purse doubtfully. The purse was full of silver. There were around 20 taels inside and two bank notes worth 100 taels of silver each.

“1000 kilograms, delivered to Lengshui village.”

When the store owner heard her words, he recalled the doctor who solved the plague. He vaguely remembered that Zhao Chuchu was from Lengshui village as well. Rumors had it that Zhao Chuchu was around the same age as the girl standing before him.

He asked cautiously, “Girl, are you that miracle doctor, Zhao Chuchu?”

“That’s me,” Zhao Chuchu admitted.

“Really?” the store owner asked, surprised.

Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, “Yup, I guarantee you.”

“The whole of Yuanjiang County is in your debt,” the store owner said sincerely. “When do you need the soybeans? Should I deliver it today?”

“I’m not in a hurry.” She hadn’t even made the stone mill yet, and the soybeans would occupy space for no reason if they were delivered now. She said, “Deliver it in five days. Also, do you have seeds that nobody else wants?”

“Yeah, I do.”

After learning who Zhao Chuchu was, the store owner was much friendlier.

He found a pouch in a random corner and brought it to Zhao Chuchu. “This was sold to me by a traveling merchant whose business failed. He said that he just wanted to exchange them for travel funds to go home. I’d never seen this before, and no one dared to buy it. So take a look and see if it’s useful for you.”

Zhao Chuchu opened up the pouch. Damn, even god is helping her. These are sweet potato seeds!

“The traveling merchant didn’t tell you how to plant these?”

“He was drunk when he came here. I didn’t want him to make trouble, so I just gave him a bit of silver without asking. He grabbed the money and left. After that, I threw the pouch aside. I wouldn’t have remembered if you hadn’t asked me.”

“How much is this?”

“No one knows how to plant them, so you can have them for free.”

The store owner was very generous.

“Just sell it to me for the price you bought it!”

Zhao Chuchu didn’t believe in karma back then. But after being reincarnated two times, she had no choice but to believe it.

Being alive is always better than being dead. Zhao Chuchu didn’t want to owe other people too much. What if it affected her karma?

It was best for her to buy these seeds with money.

Since Zhao Chuchu insisted on paying for the seeds, he said, “That person sold it to me for two taels of silver. You can buy it at this price.”

Zhao Chuchu nodded, then bought several other types of seeds as well.

She wasn’t going to plant them. Instead, she wanted to use them to exchange for the seeds in her carry-on space.

Those seeds needed a place of origin. Otherwise, she might get into trouble.

All in all, Zhao Chuchu bought 20 silver taels’ worth of goods.

...

The store owner grinned from ear to ear. He even offered to round the total down for Zhao Chuchu.

He wanted to deliver the goods to Zhao Chuchu, but she rejected him.

When she returned to the hotel with the two bags of seeds, Xie Heng and the others were eating breakfast.

“Sis, what did you buy?” Xie Junjun shifted his attention away from the food, hopped off his stool, and ran over to see what Zhao Chuchu had bought.

“Just some seeds. It’s not food,” Zhao Chuchu explained. She could instantly tell what Xie Jun was thinking.

Xie Jun felt a little embarrassed. He said, “Sis, you haven’t eaten breakfast, right? We just started. Come, eat with us.”

After saying that, he ran back to the table and scooped Zhao Chuchu a bowl of porridge.

“Let’s eat breakfast first. Then, if there’s nothing else we need to do later, we’ll head back.” Xie Heng looked toward Zhao Chuchu.

“Alright.”

Zhao Chuchu put down the bags, then washed her hands and sat down.

After breakfast, Zhao Chuchu went to Doctor Lu’s clinic to ask about the pregnant lady from before.

...

Before she could even enter the clinic, she heard Doctor Lu’s frantic voice. “I’m sorry, I’m not knowledgeable enough to deal with this. I heard that Mrs. Xie from Lengshui Village came to the county yesterday to sue someone from his village. I think she’s still in the county. You should hurry up and look for her. She’s the only one who can save her!”

Zhao Chuchu’s senses were sharp, and she smelled a thick scent of blood.

“Doctor Lu, you were looking for me?” Zhao Chuchu spoke as she stepped forward and pushed open the door of the courtyard.

Doctor Lu looked toward the door in disbelief when he heard Zhao Chuchu’s voice. “Chuchu, why are you here?”

“I’m here to check on the pregnant lady. How is she doing?”

“Yeah, she’s fine. She just got discharged and went back home yesterday. But wait, that’s not important now. I need your help to save someone now.”

Doctor Lu pulled Zhao Chuchu into the clinic.

When the plump woman saw what Doctor Lu was doing, she stretched her arm out to stop them and said, “Doctor, what is the meaning of this? You’re letting this little girl go inside to save madam? Do you know who she is? If anything happens to her, do you think you can take responsibility for it? You can’t scam people like this!”

Zhao Chuchu looked at her. The plump woman was dressed like a servant. Her gaze was as sharp as a blade as she looked toward Zhao Chuchu.

“I’ve seen all sorts of people. I can tell by one look that a little girl like you…”

Zhao Chuchu cut her off coldly and said, “You have pretty lousy eyesight. I’m already married. Also, if I can’t save her, can you? If you can, go ahead. Why are you just running your mouth here?”

“Mammy, Mom’s already in such a bad condition. So don’t stop her!”

Just then, a young girl walked out of the room.

When Zhao Chuchu saw the girl, she was startled.
