Chapter 2 Entering the Town

The next day after entering the town, Qi Sui walked along the wet path in the early morning and went straight to the foot of the mountain. She spread the fertilizer evenly on the field and stepped on it heavily.

System: "Host, how long will it take for this field to heal?"

Qi Sui opened the fertilizer bag and said, "About a week."

"Do you have any other plans?"

Qi Sui stood up and looked at the The mountain forest, smiled and said: "Of course there are arrangements. I see that there's many trees in this mountain, which looks like a good place for Feng Shui. I will go into the mountain to see if I can find some rare treasures."

System: "I wish the host a happy life. May your dreams come true."

Qi Sui was in a particularly good mood now, anticipating that there would be a lot of gains, humming a folk song from her hometown along the way.

System sharp comment: "It's unpleasant, don't sing."

Qi Sui sang even more vigorously to annoy the system.

Along the slope of the mountain pass, Qi Sui picked up a tree trunk and searched around. She remembered that in modern times, her grandmother often went to the mountains with her friends to pick wild mushrooms. Especially after the rain, you can collect a lot of mushrooms in less than a day. If you are lucky, you can even find some rare species, which are worth a lot of money.

Because mushrooms usually grow in damp, dark places with abundant nutrients, Qi Sui used a wooden stick to search under the tree roots and where the fallen leaves gathered. Sure enough, she soon found several mushrooms. Following this line of thought until the bag was half full after a while. Qi Sui weighed it, estimated the weight, and went down the mountain with satisfaction.

System: "Congratulations to the host, you have completed your first field foraging and have accumulated 100 points."

Qi Sui raised her eyebrows and said confidently: "It seems that it's not difficult to accumulate points."

The system sneered: "I forgot to tell the host that your mission is to earn a total of 100,000 points."

Qi Sui paused and said in surprise: "100,000! Why didn't you tell me earlier? What would happen if I didn't have so many points?"

The system said in a flat tone: "nothing, just trying to scare you."

Qi Sui felt speechless and closed her eyes silently, her desire to destroy the world reached its peak at this moment. She could only use all she had learned in her life to curse the system.

After returning home, Qi Sui carefully selected the mushrooms according to the method her grandmother had taught her. Only half of them were edible, She kept some for herself and took the rest to the town to sell. Because the house was so bare and there's nothing useful to do, she had to ask for help from Aunt Zhang from the same village.

Aunt Zhang is well-known in the village for her enthusiasm and helpfulness. She wasn't surprised to see Qi Sui and asked directly, "Sui Jie, are you short of anything?"

Qi Sui smiled and said, "Yes, my family hasn't had time to buy anything yet, so I want to borrow your backpack." Then she handed the mushrooms she brought to Aunt Zhang: "These are the mushrooms I picked up in the mountains just now. I carefully selected them, they are edible."

She was worried that Aunt Zhang wouldn't take it after knowing that she's the one who collected it, so she said, "Don't despise me."

Aunt Zhang saw that although Qi Sui is smiling, she's also acting very cautiously. Thinking of her family's affairs, she couldn't help but feel distressed for her: "Good child, this is nothing. There is no need to Give me something." But Qi Sui insisted, so she had to accept it and then turned around to get a backpack from the house. "Your uncle Zhang is still working in the fields. When he comes back from planting the last field of rice seedlings, I will Ask him to weave a new one for you."

Qi Sui put on the backpack and declined several times, but finally agreed: "Thank you, Auntie. I will share the vegetables I grow with you in the future." Aunt Zhang smiled and said yes, but she didn't take it seriously. She just stuffed a few steamed buns into Qi Sui's hands and let her eat them on the way. The afternoon is sunny and cloudless, with a deep blue sky. Anyone who sees it will feel refreshed.

Qi Sui chewed the white flour buns given by Aunt Zhang, and moved forward with strong and powerful steps. Even the system couldn't help but praise: "The host is really motivated."

Qi Sui finished eating the last one and replied: "Man is iron and rice is steel, The first thing is to conserve your energy. If I don't live well, how can I take back the land occupied by the second uncle?"

The system seemed shocked: "Does the host really want to take it back?"

Because the original owner's land was spread across several villages in Pingyang County, Yunyan Village alone has hundreds of acres, and the total number is counted in the thousands.

She said without hesitation: "Of course! That was the only thought left by the original owner's parents. Since I am occupying this body, I must take back everything that belongs to her no matter what."

"Does the host have a plan?"

"Not yet, but there will be a way."

While chatting, Qi Sui had already arrived at Luoshui Town, the largest town in Pingyang County. Because today is not a market day and it's afternoon, there are only a few people on the street. "It seems that setting up a stall is not an option."

The system asked: "Then how do we sell them?"

Qi Sui thought about it and decided to stroll around the streets first before making plans. As soon as they walked to the door of the restaurant, a waiter came out to greet them: "Did you have dinner? My family cooks delicious dishes." Qi Sui glanced at the sign and had an idea. She grabbed the waiter and said, "Brother, I have some fresh wild mushrooms here. Can you take me to see the owner? If I can sell them, I will treat you to tea or wine."

The waiter didn't expect that she would take the initiative to talk to him about business. he said in an amused tone: "Young lady is really smart, well. There are not many people in the store today, maybe the boss has time to pick it up, but I don't know if he will like it." Qi Sui thanked the waiter and followed him to the kitchen. .

The waiter called out to the people drinking tea: "Liu Guanzhi, there is a young lady selling mushrooms. Can you pick out any you like?" Liu Guanzhi put down his tea bowl and turned around: "Let me take a look at the goods." Qu Sui quickly put down the backpack and handed it over, "I picked this up this morning in the mountains. It's still wet." But Liu Guanzhi frowned and said, "Is this your first time selling this, young lady? Generally, dry goods are easier to sell than wet goods and are more valuable."

Qi Sui really didn't know about this, so she answered honestly: "Let Guanzhi see it. She smiled and said, "It is indeed my first time to sell something. If you don't like it, please don't be offended. You can give me any price you want." Seeing that she was generous and didn't bargain, Liu said, "Since this is your first time to buy something, I can't ask you for more. I want all of them, but the price is definitely not high, but it won't be too low either."

Qi Sui felt overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. The waiter weighed it and it's more than four pounds, but Director Liu was straightforward and calculated it as five pounds. Liu handed her thirty coins and said, "If sell dried goods or other vegetables in the future, you can come to me and the price is negotiable." Qi Sui took the money and said goodbye, "Thank you Liu, I will definitely come to you next time."

Before leaving, she took out a few copper coins and gave them to the waiter as a gift for dinner and to express her gratitude.

System: "Congratulations to the host, you have earned 200 points this time." She was so happy that she bought several meat buns.

In addition to farming every day, Qi Sui goes to the mountains to pick wild goods, dries them and then sells them in town. Sometimes she also helped the villagers with chores and accumulated points. After a week of hard work, she saved up several hundred coins.

It was another sunny day, and the family's fields were almost healed. Qi Sui went to the fields early in the morning to start sowing. She planted some potatoes, corn, and beans, all of which are drought-resistant and easy to grow. Qi Sui hesitated when she was about to spread the quick-growing fertilizer she bought from the prop mall.

"System, are you sure that this fertilizer is non-toxic and harmless and can be harvested within a week?"

The system replied impatiently: "Host, this is the fifth time you have asked me this! I am sure, I will protect it, I will never lie to you."

Qi Sui gritted her teeth: "I just keep asking you because I will feel bad if i lose the 500 points for nothing!" She couldn't even bargain at all. The system expressed understanding and encouraged her again to be bold. Qi Sui took a deep breath, Now she could only trust the system and give it a try.

This week was extremely long. Qi Sui prayed before going to bed every day and went to check on the situation every day. Finally, when it was time for harvest, she excitedly went to harvest the crops in the fields. But when she saw the actual condition of the crops, she felt stunned.

------------

There's a lot of noise in the restaurant, Many people seemed to be watching. People behind kept pushing forward and said, "What's new? Bring it out so we can have a look." The waiter held up the object high and said, "Dear guests, look carefully!"

"Oh my God! What is this? It's so huge." The scene was too chaotic and messy.

Liu Guanzhi came out to explain: "Dear guest, please be patient. This is a new ingredient we bought in our store. It is called potato. It can be fried, stir-fried, stewed or boiled. If you are interested, you may want to give it a try." Everyone raised their hands and rushed to ask To try something new.

Qi Sui, who was hiding in the corner, saw that Liu Guanzhi is calm and smiled: "As expected of the boss, they simplified the matter in just a few words and made everyone eager to try." The smallest potato weighed two kilograms. Qi Sui just brought it, after she carefully explained the uses of potatoes and they had done business together several times, Liu quickly accepted the suggestion and asked about the combination of vegetables, so he was able to make an excuse in front of the guests. Just as Qi Sui was about to leave, a voice called her: "Qi Sui?"

She turned around and saw the person who spoke, her face suddenly turned cold. Qi Cheng walked up to her and confirmed again: "It's really you."

"What's the matter?"

Qi Cheng is the son of Qi Changsheng, the second uncle of the original owner. Qi Sui tried her best to control her inner disgust for the second family. "what, am is someone so unfamiliar? At least call me brother. "Qi Cheng laughed.

Qi Sui didn't expect him to be so shameless, and said in a hard voice: "No need, I don't care about your relative. "

Qi Cheng didn't care and said to himself: "How come you still have the leisure to come to the restaurant for tea? It's not cheap here. It would be better to go back and farm as soon as possible."

Qi Sui felt furious and was about to explode when she heard him talking rudely, "I forgot, sister, you have been living a life of luxury since you were a child, uncle has raised you with his arms and legs. I'm afraid you don't even know how to farm." She looked indifferent and only said, "You'd better read more books, otherwise you won't be able to pass the imperial examination until you are in your seventies or eighties."

A simple sentence directly exposed Qi Cheng's fig leaf. He passed the imperial examination when he was ten years old, The second family had high hopes for him. Even Qi Sui's parents gave him financial support many times when they were alive. But after he passed the imperial examination, there's no more achievements after that. Now he is 20 years old, and all he knows is to hang out with the ignorant people in the academy.

Qi Sui remembered that it was the time for the academy to have classes, but he ran into Qi Cheng in the restaurant. The so-called study is just a cover, playing is the real thing.

Qi Cheng felt so angry that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't fight with her, so he could only say: "Mind your own business!"

Qi Sui rolled her eyes and repeated three times in a sarcastic tone: "Mind your own business!"

After saying that,s he ran out, leaving Qi Cheng sulking.

The system concluded: "Host, you are so mean."

Qi Sui felt very happy and said happily: "I just want to piss him off to death!"

-------

After Shen Yuandao's lecture, Shen Yu stopped Shen Jin after class and said, "Fourth sister, I said something that made you unhappy yesterday. This is the purse I embroidered overnight. It has the pattern you like. I hope you will like it. If you can accept it, don't be angry anymore." Chen Jin quickly glanced at the purse in her hand. The material wasn't as good as her purse, She said with disdain: "Sister, you use such material to make it for me? How stingy. I thought you were just not good at studying, but I didn't expect your skills are just so-so as well."

Shen Yu seemed to be stabbed in the wound, her eyes gradually lost, she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and smiled: "I didn't think it through, my sister has been wearing the best since she was a child, I will buy a new one, and I'll make you another one." Just as she turned to leave, Shen Jin called her: "Come back, I didn't say no. You look so pitiful, and..."

Before she finished speaking, she snatched the purse from Shen Yu's hand and said unhappily, "I'll take it, don't look like you're going to cry, Who is watching?" Chen Yu watched her leave angrily. Although she didn't understand why she changed her mind, she finally put the matter behind her. Before school was over in the afternoon, Aunt Lan specially asked Ruo Wei to go to the restaurant to buy two dishes that Chen Yu liked.

Ruo Wei took out the dishes from the food box and said, "Auntie, the waiter said that Director Liu made a few new dishes today, so I took the initiative to buy two more." At this time, Shen Yu just came back, heard her words, and asked, "What dish did Director Liu cook?" Ruo Wei followed the waiter's instructions, pointed at the dishes on the table and introduced them one by one: "Stir-fried potato shreds with green peppers, stir-fried corn with green peppers."

Chen Yu and Aunt Lan came over together, "Potatoes?" "Yeah, the waiter said that this is the food that Director Liu bought from a young lady today. She grew it with great care. It's shaped like a stone, but after it's cooked, it tastes even smoother than sweet potatoes."

Chen Yu praised: "There is no need to say much about the craftsmanship of Liu Guanzhi, but the young lady he mentioned is really amazing to be able to grow this thing."

---------

In a shabby house somewhere in Yunyang Village, Qi Sui sneezed several times.

The system asked with concern: "Host, are you catching a cold?"

She rubbed her nose, "It's okay, maybe someone is secretly praising my good looks."

System: "It must be a cold."

Qi Sui ignored its words and just looked at the tender sprouts emerging in the soil pot. She shouted excitedly: "It's done!"
