Chapter 43 The Road to Well-off (19)

Other than joyous move, Li Yannian was also happy.

Just after 28 February, she immediately went to the system. She first sold the last of her eggs in two pieces, then cut a small piece of gold with a pair of scissors and sold it in the system. The result was quite satisfactory. The moment she placed the item on the shelf, the system flashed with light.

Quantity: 1.6 grams

Unit price: 263.2 per gram

Freight rate: Jiangzhe-Shanghai parcel mail

The account instantly had an extra 400 yuan. The least of the deductions was to deduct the delivery fee from Shunfeng. Li Yannian saw that she had enough money in his account to pay back the money she spent last month. She planned to settle the bill first so that she wouldn’t have to use the system in the future if she lost too much credit.

At this moment, the soft voice of the system rang out again, “Congratulations, shopkeeper. Your credit has reached 11 points and you have risen to a 2 star rating.”

He then continued, “A two star seller can initiate eight trades every month, which means the total amount must not exceed ten thousand. Friendly reminder: Your buyer’s credit level is not up to 2 stars, the number of transactions per month is still 4, but the purchase quota is not limited. In addition, please note that your search time is still limited to one minute, longer than the time limit, and is still recorded as a transaction. Please do not waste it. ”

Li Yannian quickly calculated the price, which meant that she would be selling them for around one tael of gold a month. Originally, according to the original price of 300 yuan a gram of pure gold, the price of one tael of gold would be more than 1,100.

Before she could finish rejoicing, the system’s female voice reminded her, “Because your reputation is good, the amount of money spent has been increased from RMB 501 to RMB 11000. I hope you enjoy using it.”

That was equivalent to her having an 11100 yuan purchase fund every month! It’s been two months, it’s been a long time! Li Yannian placed the previously cut gold on the system, and only then did she remember about it. She did not know whether the original one star quota still occupied the two star quota or not. Fortunately, she was lucky. When she saw the number 9987.6 that popped up in her bank account, she felt relieved.

After that, she bought the 100-knife, 4-foot, half-cooked paper. This time, she only spent 1,300 yuan, and after receiving the goods, she checked if there were any problems, then threw them into the system warehouse, waiting for them to tidy up after.

She used the second transaction to buy food and things to use. Since she didn’t have time to compare the price, Li Yannian directly opened the Sky Cat Market to buy whatever he saw. When he came out, he accidentally spent more than 1000 yuan on the transaction.

These things could not be seen in public for the moment, so Li Yannian casually threw it into the storage, where she ate it while no one was looking, and took it out to coax Mao Dou and Zhao Xu the little fool. As for those things, she could only take them out after she moved her house.

Initially, Li Yannian wanted to buy pepper for the third trade, but after thinking about it again, that bookworm didn’t know how the business was doing. Pepper was still a rare commodity here, after all, it would be better to meet people at the end of the month and see what the situation was.

As for the rice that his little restaurant didn’t have a shadow of, Li Yannian considered whether he should buy it or not. Firstly, he did not know that even if First Uncle managed to find a shop this month, he would still need to spend some time to prepare a shop, decorate it, make it into long tables and stools, and even invite people. Secondly, the area of his small warehouse was also very tight. It was a waste of resources to hoard rice for nothing.

Therefore, after thinking about it, although she wanted to raise the buyer’s credit to two stars as soon as possible, with the 2 points from this month and the 7 points from the previous two months, as long as she bought two more things, she would be able to reach the next level. Li Yannian patiently resisted the temptation of levelling up. Who knew if a two star buyer would be like a two star seller, having a qualitative breakthrough in their trading restrictions? If all four trading opportunities were used up and the system did not give him anything, then he would be on the losing end.

But what about broken silver? The 30 grams of crushed silver on Taobao costed 126 yuan. If he added 7 or 8 grams of silver in here, it would be worth one tael of silver. Afterwards, six taels of silver could be exchanged for one tael of gold … Li Yannian was almost drooling as she shook her head to reject this idea.

He still had enough silver and gold in his pockets, and the Gu family had already taken care of his family. Before he could find a thicker thigh, it was better for him to keep a low profile.

Of course, she had never told a single word of this to the Mao Dou brothers. Keeping such a big secret was actually a very painful thing for Li Yannian. Even though she carried a huge amount of happiness in her heart, there wasn’t even someone she could share it with.

Fortunately, the house had been busy lately, and it helped to distract him a little.

In the blink of an eye, it was the auspicious day for moving house. Auntie Li did not disappoint Li Yannian and invited him over to the best gang in town, which consisted of a chicken, a fish, and a pig leg. Each table was served with three main dishes, a few hot dishes, as well as the final highlight of the meal.

Old Man Li brought the Li Clan, his two sons, Li Qingshan, Li Jun Shan and a few other members from the two families over. There were thirteen people in total, but the Li Clan took up two tables worth of seats.

The guide went up to persuade them to sit down so that the other guests could sit down. Unexpectedly, he was met by Li Jun’s wife, Xu Cui Er, and spat: “You didn’t ask about who had the moving wine today, my nephew and daughter! My own nephew’s family’s wine, this aunt of mine just sat there like that, what’s the matter? Someone who can treat others who are not related to him to food and drinks, and forbid his uncle and his cousins from sitting down and having a bite to eat? ”

When the Auntie Li heard the commotion, she rushed over, but seeing that Old Man Li and Li family did not seem to be able to see the Third House of the Li Family and the major chamber making trouble, even though she was thinking it in her heart, on such a good day, this family was truly unpresentable. However, she still had to settle this matter on face. She looked at the person in the lead seat and made a gesture with his eyes. He didn’t want anyone to worry about him, so he let this family cause a ruckus.

Old Man Li was happy before he came, thinking that Second Brother’s children could be considered to have some conscience, and had not forgotten his family members. But today, when he came over to take a look, not only did the three siblings treat him intimately, they even greeted him and went off to welcome the other guests. Furthermore, the treat cost was really too much! With just the dishes on the table, he could not even eat three hundred taels of rice!

At this moment, he understood the thoughts of the three elders. What they were eating was his money! Who would be willing to move their own house to host such a banquet? Even if he married his wife, he wouldn’t be so generous! It made the little fellows in Old Man Li angry, but they were too lazy to care about it. It was better for you to make a ruckus and bring Black Bean over here. In the end, he was still young and didn’t know how to act.

He had also calculated in his heart that the amount of silver his family would be paying this time would probably be a lot. I heard that the house in front of us would cost seventeen taels of silver if it was built. In addition to today’s banquet… His gaze could not help but drift towards the Zhang Family’s table, where the two elders of the Zhang family sat in their seats of honor. The table of sons, wives, grandsons and grandsons were all sitting in their proper places, while the little brat still in their mother’s embrace was very obedient.

Then, he looked at his own side … The big brother and second brother’s kids were all eating on the table. In order to snatch a chicken leg, the big bull was tugging at Erniu’s collar, cursing and swearing. Cui Cui and Soo Soo held the chopsticks and kept flipping through the plate of chicken soup. They did not flip anything over. They put the chopsticks in their mouth to take a sip, but did not give up and continued to flip. Only the old family’s lotus flower still looked the same. It was gentle and gentle as it carried the bowl and sat, neither fighting nor snatching. It waited until all its siblings had finished picking up the crumbs before putting them into the bowl with its chopsticks.

As for their own mothers and fathers, they were still preoccupied with their own food. Their chopsticks were flipping in the air, causing the soup on the table to splatter everywhere.

There really was no comparison, so there was no harm. Old Man Li only felt like his face had been completely thrown away by the three big families. He could not help but regret that he did not manage the two small ones before. Now that they were split into two tables, he could neither call them nor refuse.

The Zhang Family had naturally seen the disgrace of the Li Family. Xia Taohua gave a light snort and lowered her voice to say something to her own man. When Zhang Yaomei was near, she naturally heard the words “no noodles can be served on the pork”. The corners of her mouth twitched in ridicule, but she did not say a word, and only glanced at her daughter-in-law.

The calm look in her eyes was extremely intimidating as the Zhang Family became more and more disciplined.

What a joke, this was his nephew’s and niece’s moving wine. Even if they did not stew, they would still fight for it, letting the people of Li Village have a good look at the difference between the Zhang family and the Li family.

It was not that Li Yannian did not notice the situation with the Old Li Family, she was truly impressed with her foresight, luckily Auntie Li had prepared two more tables of food, otherwise, it would be really awkward if someone like the major chamber and the Third House did not have a place to sit at. If the Li family wanted to cause trouble, then so be it. She really didn’t care about the money for two tables of food. Fortunately Li Hongshan had made it out alive, otherwise, she would have had to eat at the same table as these people everyday.

However, what made Black Bean and her a little disappointed was that, in the end, the widow of the family who had helped their family before still rejected the Auntie Li’s invitation. It was too late for them to ask for it. Li Yannian told Black Bean that it would be better to wait until after he moved his home. Then, he would choose a day to bring some things to visit that concubine’s house.

As for Zhao Xu, it was not convenient for him to come out in days like this. Li Yannian had told and the others to cook a few more light dishes and fill up their stomachs when the guests had not arrived. Otherwise, when the banquet was about to start, not only would Zhao Xu not have any food to eat, he would also not leave the guests alone.

By the time she thought of this, all the guests had already settled down, their butts sticking to their stools, and the noodles were already half-way open, not to mention that by the time the dishes were served, the legs and wings of the whole chicken had already disappeared without a trace, and even the chest of the chicken had been ripped to the bone. It was unknown who’s child had not eaten enough for them to come over to their table.

When he thought about the dishes on the table being eaten by someone, Li Yannian lost his appetite. The others didn’t mind this at all, as their stomachs were already empty from the effort and they ate the dishes on the spot. Li Yannian saw that there was nothing on the left and right, so he spoke to Black Bean before going around the Back Chef to get some mutton soup and carried it back to the Auntie Li’s house.

Previously, she had bought a box of instant noodles from the Tiantang Market. With this mixed lamb soup, it was perfect for a bowl. Only the heavens knew how greedy she was for the instant noodles after arriving here!

There was already boiling water on the stove. Li Yannian took a bag of noodles from the warehouse and treated all the wrappings, then poured some water into the wok. She didn’t manage to get any more than a biscuit or a vegetable packet.

Since the soup was covered with oil, the mixed lamb soup that she had called over had not cooled down for a long time. It was perfectly eaten along with the steamed noodles that had been soaked in it. She squinted her eyes and happily sipped a large mouthful of noodles, seeing the little fool, Zhao Xu, standing in front of her with a face full of curiosity. She sniffed her nose, as if trying to discern whether the food in Li Yannian’s hands were edible.

It was as if Li Yannian was committing an extremely evil crime by carrying him on her own!

“Enough, enough, don’t cry. Aiyo, I’m scared of you. Let me get you another bowl of soup.”

Li Yannian immediately gave in, afraid that he would attract the attention of Auntie Li and the others. However, she had only gotten herself such a bowl of goat soup. At that time, sshe was only thinking about Zhao Xu, the Young Prince, and not eating anything under the water, so he did not take any trouble to bring back an extra bowl. How about this, you want him to eat your leftovers?

Li Yannian was at her wit’s end as she resigned herself to her fate and helped the person sit down in front of the furnace: “Just sit down and light a fire for me. If I tell you to put some firewood in, just put it in; if the fire is extinguished, you won’t be able to eat any more.”

God knows if Zhao Xu understood. Li Yannian lit a fire and fried a golden poached egg. After thinking for a while, she added two more eggs. When the egg was ripe, she scooped it up and poured it into boiling water. She cut two sausages and tore a package of pickled vegetables into it. Finally, she poured the pastries, vegetable buns and seasoning packets into the water one by one.

After the noodles had been boiled for two minutes, they started to soften and become translucent. Li Yannian picked up the bowl and scooped up the noodles. After the noodles were ready, she suddenly thought of a problem. She seemed to have forgotten to let this little fool add fuel to the fire. When she turned around, she saw that Zhao Xu was bent over and stuffing fine branches into the furnace, almost causing the fire inside to burn out.

Li Yannian could not help but laugh bitterly and quickly pulled him out: “Alright, alright, there’s no need to add firewood. Didn’t you want to eat noodles?

She lowered her head and mixed the noodles, while blowing on them to cool them, she did not notice the astonishment in Zhao Xu’s eyes, as though it was very strange, that a ten year old girl would address her, who was obviously a lot older, as big sister.

However, what was even more strange was that she was able to conjure something with her bare hands.

Zhao Xu lowered his eyes and concentrated on blow-drying his noodles, but he was filled with all kinds of doubts. No matter how shrewd a person was, it was natural for him to lose his vigilance when facing idiots. For example, this young girl from the Li family, her mother, Yi Wangfei Madam Tu.

He sneaked a glance at Li Yannian, who was contentedly sucking the golden egg liquid. Just how many more secrets did this countryside girl have?
