Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine
Chapter 75 Harvest

Chapter 75: 75 Harvest

Su Yuanyuan loves money, but she’s not someone who values money over her life.

The three of them attacked simultaneously, exhausting all their strength. But this time, after the confrontation, they all stopped again. No, this is definitely not going to work.

Now with the wolf’s back to Su Yuanyuan, she suddenly rushed over, turned the power to maximum, and stunned one wolf.

Without waiting for the second wolf to react, it also fell down.

Now only one wild boar was left. Su Yuanyuan stunned it while it was dazed.

Then she started shocking each one again, and surprisingly, two wolves were still alive.

Su Yuanyuan waved her hand, put everything away, and immediately ran back, afraid of encountering something else. Safety first after all.

She didn’t collect the dry grass along the way; she would come back for it tomorrow.

She jogged home, truly exhausted.

Her heart was pounding, but her face was all smiles. After feeding the sheep, she entered the space and began the process of bleeding the animals one by one.

She wondered what use wolf blood might have? Never mind, better to discard it. Wild boar blood can be made into blood tofu and sold later.

Su Yuanyuan released all sixteen, and the west room couldn’t hold them all, so she stacked them in three layers.

She had already planned to ask Old Yang for help with these, so they all needed to be stiffened.

The next morning, she fed the sheep at four o’clock, didn’t eat herself, and hurriedly collected the sixteen, rushing to the county.

She couldn’t leave them at home, lest someone sees them and gets jealous.

Because she was excited, she arrived ten minutes earlier than usual today.

Despite skipping breakfast, she didn’t feel hungry and arrived at Old Yang’s place just as he was loading his cart for the market.

"Girl, why are you here so early?"

"Uncle Yang, I have something to discuss with you."

Old Yang instructed his two apprentices to leave, and the two of them went inside, "What is it?"

"Master Yang, I came across wolves encircling a wild boar on the mountain. They fought each other to the point of exhaustion, and I managed to take them all down."

"Wolves? Wild boar?"

"Yes."

"You took them all down? How many?"

"Ten wolves and six wild boars. They’re all big ones, I think even bigger than last year’s."

Old Yang stood up abruptly. "Wolves can be sold here, but we might not be able to sell so many wild boars. Wait here, I’ll be right back."

"Uncle Yang, I haven’t eaten yet, so I’ll come back later."

Old Yang was too busy for pleasantries and they both headed out together.

This time, Su Yuanyuan went into a breakfast shop and ordered a serving of wonton and a piece of fried bread, the kind with an egg inside.

Though her eyes were bigger than her stomach, this bowl of fifteen wontons filled her up, so she asked for some wrapping paper from the owner to save the fried bread for next time.

Leaving the breakfast shop, she wasn’t in a hurry as she figured Old Yang would need some time to handle so many things.

She went to a general store and bought a backpack, five enamel bowls, and this time, five lunch boxes too.

Feeling good, she thought she could buy some more things.

She got fifty candles and twenty packs of matches.

The owner of the general store smiled, finding this girl quite daring with her spending.

"Girl, do you like gold and silver?"

Su Yuanyuan was a bit taken aback, "Boss, do you sell gold and silver too?"

It must be fake; there’s no way a general store would sell these.

"No, no, I’m just helping friends sell it."

"I like it, how much?"

"Five dollars per tael." (Here, a pound of gold weighs sixteen taels.)

Su Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows; this must be cheaper than the bank’s rate, right?

"Girl, I’m telling you, this is top-quality Jinyu. I’ll be honest, these can’t see the light of day, can’t be sold to banks, otherwise, the price wouldn’t be this good."

"Boss, how much do you have?"

"One hundred taels."

Su Yuanyuan did some quick math; a tael is five bucks, so one hundred would be five hundred.

She did have that much money, but wasn’t sure if the boss was trying to scam her.

"Girl, you can examine the goods." The boss saw the look on her face and knew there was a chance. His old friend seemed eager to part with this stuff for some reason.

"Alright. I’ll take it all, but I need to go back to get the money. If the boss trusts me, get it ready."

"I trust you, I trust you."

Su Yuanyuan left the general store and went straight to Old Yang’s place.

Old Yang was at home, pacing anxiously. Why hadn’t the girl returned yet?

"Where did you go?"

"Uncle Yang, I went to the general store to have a look."

"Eighty-one wolves, for the wild boar, based on size, three hundred per head."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Uncle Yang, don’t worry, these wild boars are definitely bigger than last year’s."

"Yes. They’ve paid for the wild boar too. We’ll go to your place this afternoon and I’ll bring them back in the evening."

"Alright. Uncle Yang, do you think Jinyu at five bucks per tael is okay?"

Old Yang raised an eyebrow, having lived in the county for so many years, he knew right away what she meant.

"Yes, the stuff from that person named Cao is always good. You can buy it."

"Alright, then I’ll go bring it back at noon."

"Are you that keen on this?"

"Uncle Yang, I’m alone, so it’s better to buy things and keep them than just having money lying around. I’ll stash them at home; when needed in the future, I can just get them whenever."

Old Yang nodded. "If you’re interested, next time you come over, I’ll get some for you."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "That sounds great. Uncle Yang, don’t you think keeping Jinyu is a good thing?"

Old Yang nodded, "It’s a good thing, but you’d better have the skills to keep it hidden."

Su Yuanyuan understood Old Yang’s meaning; it seemed these were some extraordinary people, very sharp indeed.

"Do you want white fish?"

"Uncle Yang, how much for the white fish?"

"One dollar per tael."

"I want it."

"Alright, next time you come by, I’ll get some for you. You’re just a young girl, even if you have good stuff, nobody would think of it."

The waiting time always feels long, and today Su Yuanyuan had lunch at Old Yang’s. Per his request, she made meat pancakes.

After they finished eating, his apprentices still hadn’t returned.

"Uncle Yang, I’ll wheel the cart to the general store."

Old Yang nodded, opting not to go along, which was better for both sides. Who would think a young girl would be wheeling a cart full of Jinyu?

When she arrived at the general store, Su Yuanyuan wheeled the cart with the owner to the back yard.

"Girl, check for yourself; they all have weight markings."

Having taken Old Yang’s advice, Su Yuanyuan was confident there wouldn’t be a problem, but since they were all in boxes...

"Boss, could you give me a pair of gloves and a cloth? I have to check them one by one, right?"

"Certainly, certainly."

Su Yuanyuan took them out one by one to have a look, then placed them back in. She pulled out five hundred dollars and handed it to the owner. "Count it, will you?"
