After Reincarnating into Ancient Times, She Bound a Express Delivery System

Chapter 10

"Then tell me, how do you plan to sell it?" The smile on Shopkeeper Chen's face froze as he asked, his tone no longer friendly.

Before Qi Huan came, she had inquired about the prices.

If it were in the bustling capital city or other prosperous areas, she could definitely ask for a higher price. But in this impoverished place of exile, even the best things couldn't fetch a good price...

Considering the reality, she smiled lightly and said, "One recipe for one or two silver pieces."

However, Shopkeeper Chen still seemed dissatisfied. "You really dare to say that," he remarked.

"So, will Uncle Chen buy it or not?"

She met Shopkeeper Chen's angry gaze with unwavering determination.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no other big restaurants in Mo County, she wouldn't have wanted to do business with him based on his character alone.

As a poor person without power or influence, she had to compromise for the time being and make some money first.

After a while...

"Fine, I'll buy it," Shopkeeper Chen finally compromised.

"Let's draw up a contract first."

At Qi Huan's request, Shopkeeper Chen found Mr. Accountant, who could read and write, and they drew up the contract.

Picking up one of the two copies of the contract, Qi Huan carefully examined it word by word.

Once again, she was surprised to find that the characters here were actually the traditional characters from her past life.

She recognized most of the characters, and even for the few uncommon ones, she could guess their meaning and read the whole sentence.

"What's this? Little Qi can read too? Or do you not trust me, Uncle Chen?" Shopkeeper Chen's tone was sarcastic, but she didn't mind. Instead, she smiled and said, "Mr. Accountant writes well."

After checking the contract, she folded it into a small square and put it in her purse.

Prompted by Shopkeeper Chen's gesture, she began to demonstrate how to make the spicy cabbage tofu pot.

Then she made kimchi pancakes and kimchi fried rice.

After tasting the dishes, Shopkeeper Chen took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the oil off the corners of his mouth, and reluctantly instructed, "Take her to the accountant's office to settle the bill."

With three or two silver pieces in hand, Qi Huan walked on the road, feeling that the air was sweet.

With the money she received for the spicy cabbage and the one hundred wen from selling the first dish, she now had more than four taels of silver.

With this "huge sum" in her pocket, she returned to the clothing store she had visited last time.

"Shopkeeper, do you still have this kind of cotton jacket I'm wearing?" She pointed at herself and asked.

The shopkeeper recognized her and put down the chicken feather duster used for dusting, walking over to greet her.

"It's you. It's quite a coincidence. The cotton jacket you're wearing was something I bought from Sister-in-law Guo. Originally, I only bought the two sets you purchased last time. The color was too dark, so I advised Sister-in-law Guo to use a different fabric. But she could only afford this cheap coarse cloth. So, as you can see, I sold those two sets, and she made a few more for me."

The shopkeeper was quite talkative, and he chatted with Qi Huan like a stream of beans.

"Let me see what you have. Today, I'll buy a few more sets, so please give me a discount, shopkeeper."

"That's for sure. I can't speak for anything else, but when it comes to prices, my shop is the most fair in the whole Mo County. That's why I have many repeat customers, and I earn hard-earned money... Just wait a moment, I'll go to the warehouse in the back to find them."

"Okay."

Qi Huan nodded and propped her arm on the counter, while her other hand supported her cheek. She looked up and admired the beautiful cotton clothes hanging on the wall.

"You've waited for a long time," said the shopkeeper as he emerged after a half-cup of tea, carrying a thick stack of cotton jackets. "Here are five or six of them. Take a look and see if any of them fit."

The jackets of the same style were laid out one by one, and Qi Huan picked up a few slightly larger ones and compared them.

In the end, she selected three jackets, each priced at eight hundred coins. After some bargaining, the shopkeeper gave her a three-hundred-coin discount and accepted two silver coins from her.

Cotton was so expensive that Qi Huan even thought about selling her cotton quilt.

But the points she needed to consume for the quilt in her space were also substantial. Selling it at a high price wouldn't attract buyers, and selling it cheap wouldn't be profitable, so she had no choice but to give up.

As her thoughts returned, she walked home with the jackets, avoiding people along the way to prevent being robbed.

After returning home, she summoned her system again. "System, help me repurchase four sets of thermal clothing!"

"Alright, host."

Whoosh!

Four identical packages dropped in front of her bed.

After opening them, she discovered a problem. The thermal clothing fit her perfectly, but it would definitely be too small for Li Shuchen and the others.

"System, do you provide a seven-day no-reason exchange function?"

"Of course, this system can do anything... as long as the host has enough points."

Qi Huan wished she could hit it with a hammer, but unfortunately, it didn't have a physical form. "Well, how many procedural points do I need this time?"

"Exchanging will require an additional ten points."

Fortunately, it was still within her budget.

She estimated the heights of the others and made some style swaps, switching to larger sizes and changing the color to a deep blue for the men's style.

After giving the thermal clothing and the newly purchased jackets to the four of them, Xiu Wen thanked her gratefully. However, he had a slight concern, "Will we wear them wrong?"

The four of them squeezed into the second bedroom, with the jackets placed on top of the blankets when sleeping. It was possible that they might get mixed up.

An idea struck Qi Huan. "Do you all have needles?"

"You can embroider a symbol on the clothes so that you won't get them mixed up."

Xiu Wen found a sewing needle from the box and embroidered a "wen" character for himself, and then he helped Yan Wu embroider a "wu" character.

Yan Qinghe sewed a ball for himself and then handed the needle to Li Shuchen.

"All of you have your own marks, so I don't need one," Qi Huan said.

Upon further thought, she realized she didn't need it either. "My jacket is smaller than yours, so I don't need it."

Even though the room had no heating stove and all the doors and windows were tightly sealed, it was still a bit cold. After finishing the sewing, everyone went back to their rooms to change clothes.

Qi Huan also received a notification from the system.

"Performing good deeds +3, points +12."

This was the score for giving jackets to the three of them.

"Performing good deeds +4, points +112."

This was the score for giving thermal clothing to the three of them and Li Shuchen.

"It seems like earning points still depends on Li Shuchen!" Qi Huan sighed in her heart.

She leaned on the wooden table and suddenly remembered that she had accumulated a considerable number of points that she hadn't used for many days. "System, check my balance."

"Host, your current balance is 1999 points."
