After breakfast, Nie Qianqian put the seven fish into the basket and covered it tightly with hay so that outsiders could not see what was inside.

This time when he went to the city, Nie Qianqian did not take Liu Yan and Tuantuan with him. Liu Yan was afraid that her daughter would have to work hard, and she felt sorry for the two cents. She originally wanted to walk to the town by herself, but Nie Qianqian directly objected and left her and Tuantuan at home.

With Liu Yan, it was inconvenient to use the space to do any small things.

With Gu Xiao accompanying her, she did not throw the fish basket directly back into the space. Instead, she and Gu Xiao took turns carrying the bamboo basket towards the head of the village. In her previous life, Nie Qianqian could easily lift this basket with one hand, but now her body is too weak and she suffers from malnutrition all year round, so it is already a bit difficult to carry a 10-pound bamboo basket.

Nie Qianqian thought that she must start a physical training plan as soon as possible to improve her physical fitness and restore her strength, otherwise her small body would be too fragile.

The two got on the bullock cart and bumped along the bumpy village road. Nie Qianqian, who was used to riding in cars, felt that her waist and legs ached all over. It was not easy to make a living in an ancient world.

While riding in the car, both of them were very quiet. Nie Qianqian was also busy looking for something to talk about. She closed her eyes and entered the space with her mind to explore.

During this investigation, she made a major discovery. The water tank where ten fish were taken away from the aquatic area in the morning was supposed to be empty, but now there was not a single fish missing, and they were still swimming happily in the water tank.

Therefore, her space supermarket can also automatically replenish goods!

Nie Qianqian was ecstatic, this is really a treasure space.

She tried her best to suppress her joy, but she didn't even realize that the corners of her mouth had curled up, and she couldn't hide the joy.

Gu Xiao caught a glimpse of Nie Qianqian's lips twitching while trying to laugh, and thought to himself: What made her so happy?

The Nie Qianqian he knew rarely smiled. Occasionally she would smile at Tuantuan. The smile was very forced. Behind the smile was a deeper sorrow. She was suppressed by a hard life and had never been truly happy in her heart. But Nie Qianqian has been smiling a lot these days, and the smile reaches her eyes. After moving out of Nie's house, her living situation has obviously become worse, but there is no trace of timidity in her.

Gu Xiao thought and arrived at the place before he knew it.

Nie Qianqian opened her eyes and got out of the car. Gu Xiao took the initiative to carry the bamboo basket, "Let's go, I will take you to the grass market in the west of the town. There are many vendors there in the early morning. Selling these fish will not be a problem."

When Nie Qianqian arrived at Caoshi, Gu Xiao left for Tiande Bookstore without letting Gu Xiao continue to accompany her.

There are many people in the grass market. The whole street is full of merchants shouting and selling. There is an endless stream of people coming to buy vegetables, meat and rice. Most of them are women. Nie Qianqian is not conspicuous among the crowd.

She did not sell the fish immediately, but walked around the morning market from beginning to end, studying what grains, vegetables, meats, and aquatic products were sold in this era, and understanding the approximate price of each variety.

She found that the food in this era was very similar to her previous life, with common vegetables, fruits, and aquatic products available.

Nie Qianqian thought carefully and took out 50 kilograms of fish from the supermarket in batches. She was afraid that taking out too much at once would arouse suspicion, so she distributed it to five fish stalls for sale. Qinghe Village is located in the north. The price of aquatic fish is more expensive than ordinary pork, selling for 60 yuan per catty. After the fish is sold out, Nie Qianqian takes the pork from the space and sells it in batches. The price of the pork is slightly cheaper and sells for about 50 yuan. Wen per catty.

Although she had space and didn't have to carry heavy loads of fish and pork all the time, she was panting and sweating every time she ran to nearly ten stalls.

After struggling all morning, Nie Qianqian went from having only a few dozen cents in hand to a "huge sum" of more than 5 taels of silver.

Five taels of silver may be just a few meals in the eyes of officials and wealthy businessmen, but to ordinary farmers, it is basically the amount of money a family earns in a year.

She had stayed in Cao Shi for a long time, and she was afraid that she would attract attention if she stayed any longer. Nie Qianqian put the silver into the space, blended in with the crowd, and left Cao Shi.

Nie Qianqian's stomach was already growling with hunger. There were so many people in the town, so instead of getting food from the space, she went to a roadside pastry stall and bought two buns to quickly satisfy her hunger.

After filling her stomach, she did not go back to the village directly, but went to the rice noodle shop in the town. She took out 50 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of noodles, and 50 kilograms of eggs from the space to continue selling.

Now the autumn harvest has begun in the fields. After farmers have saved enough food for the whole family, most of them will take the excess rice and noodles to the town to sell, as well as eggs. Nie Qianqian went to several rice and noodle shops separately. The shopkeepers were not surprised. After clicking, I paid happily.

Including the money from selling fish and meat, Nie Qianqian already had nearly 8 taels of silver in her hands.

Nie Qianqian rubbed her sore and aching shoulders, looked at the position of the sun, and estimated that it should be around 15 o'clock in the afternoon.

The last bus trip from Uncle Li's family back to the village was at the end of Shenshi, with about two hours left. Nie Qianqian cheered up. When she got money, the first thing she did was to buy something!

There are all kinds of food in the supermarket space, so she doesn't need to spend extra money to buy food.

She first went to the clothing store and picked out four pairs of cloth shoes, which she wanted to replace most urgently at the moment.

The soles of Nie Qianqian's cloth shoes were almost worn out, and the toe had been opened, so Liu Yan had to mend them. They were barely wearable, but walking made her feet very tired, and she was always worried about her naughty big toe. The head is about to burst out of the hole.

Then she bought 4 sets of ready-made clothes for a family of four. It would be cheaper to buy cloth and make the clothes at home, but she really couldn't stand the patched clothes of the four of them and urgently needed a makeover.

She bought some cloth separately and asked Liu Yan to sew it into sheets and quilt covers. Thinking of the black and stiff cotton in the quilt, Nie Qianqian bought another 30 kilograms of cotton in one go. In late autumn, cotton-padded clothes and quilts are indispensable.

There are down quilts and down jackets sold on the 5th floor of the supermarket. They are light and warm, but it is not appropriate to take them out now. I will look for opportunities to replace the quilts at home in the future.

After leaving the clothing store, she went to buy new pots and pans, salt and seasonings and other basic daily necessities. The ones in the old house were basically chipped and could be used for one night, but they could not be used for a long time.

After buying these things, there was no room for them in one bamboo basket, so she bought two more small bamboo baskets, stuffed all the things into the bamboo baskets, carried one on her back and carried two.

After leaving the store, she stuffed all the things in the baskets into the space without anyone noticing, and she easily hit the road with three diabolo baskets.

Thinking of Gu Xiao, Nie Qianqian inquired and wandered all the way until she came to Tiande Bookstore where Gu Xiao copied books.

In this era, just like the ancient times of her time, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce placed great importance on reading. Scholars generally received respect and had a higher social status.

Tiande Bookstore is adjacent to Tiande Academy. The location of the academy is not in the center of the town, but in a corner. It is located in a quiet environment, near the foot of the mountain, without the noise of the market, but with the beauty of springs and rocks.

The academy is very large, with clusters of pavilions hidden under towering ancient trees. Perhaps they are the renderings of the poems and calligraphy of sages. The palaces and pavilions are all imbued with a quiet and elegant charm. A dark plaque hangs at the door with the words "Tiande Academy" written on it. "Four big characters,

The people coming and going at the entrance of the academy are all scholars. Their long hair is pulled into a high bun. They are clean and tidy. They are wearing loose blue robes with the name of Tiande Academy embroidered on them.

Nie Qianqian thought of her husband's face. That handsome face should naturally match this outfit.
