Shopping Frenzy; God of Fortune Arrived

“Master Xu. I have heard so much about you. We killed a big white tiger in the mountains two days ago and skinned it. Take a look, Master Xu, and see how much it is worth.” Li Da had not expected to encounter Xu San here. This person was famous for his shrewdness.

Being recognized, Xu San was not surprised at all. He only laughed as if he knew him well, “I heard a while back that a man-eating white tiger appeared in the mountains of Dongcheng. Many people wanted to kill it, but could not find its trace. I didn’t expect it to fall into your hands.”

As Xu San spoke, he unfurled the white tiger skin. It spread out to cover almost half of the hall.

Xu San looked at the undamaged tiger skin with a hint of surprise in his eyes. “How did you kill the white tiger? How did you leave its skin intact? ”

Just as Li Da was about to speak, he heard Su Ying’s impatient words: “Just tell me how much this skin is worth.”

Xu San raised his head and looked at Su Ying. He could tell that she was a woman at a glance. In Chu, women could also get official jobs, but only a few did. He smiled with interest and said: “A thousand taels, a price for a friend.”

Su Ying had never done business with anyone before. Xu San looked shrewd and would never give her the price he thought fair. Hence, 1000 taels was definitely a low price.

Su Ying squatted down and started to pack the tiger’s hide.

Xu San looked at her and said with a smile: “It seems that you are not satisfied with my price.”

Su Ying stood up and said expressionlessly: “You know well that it is rare to see a tiger’s skin this big. Aren’t you too greedy with a bid of 1000 taels? Since you’re not sincere, I’ll go find another shop.”

Li Da felt that 1000 taels of silver was already a lot, but seeing how confident Su Ying was, he didn’t say anything.

Su Ying turned around without hesitation. Just as she was about to walk out, Xu San spoke again: “Three thousand taels for a true friend.”

Su Ying curled her lips and placed the tiger skin on the table. “Deal.”

“Do the two Sirs want notes or…”

“300 taels in notes and the rest in silver.”

Li Da’s eyes widened when he heard this. Two thousand seven hundred taels of silver. That was loads. This demon was really bold. She wasn’t afraid of being remembered.

Xu San didn’t ask any further and immediately got someone to fetch the notes and silver to Su Ying.

“Many thanks.”

Su Ying took the money and left the pawnshop with Li Da.

Outside the pawnshop, Su Ying passed the notes of three hundred silver to Li Da. “Ten percent.”

Li Da took the notes and suppressed his excitement. He didn’t want Su Ying to look down on him if he opened his mouth too wide.

“You shouldn’t have taken so much silver. You still have a long way to go before the northern wilderness.” Li Da kindly reminded Su Ying.

Su Ying laughed nonchalantly. “The person who dares to steal from me, Su Ying, has not been born yet, or has gone to reincarnate.”

Arrogant!

“Give me an hour. I need to buy things in town.”

Li Da was a little hesitant. Now that Su Ying had money, what if she ran away…

“If I want to escape, can you stop me?” Su Ying looked through Li Da’s thoughts.

The corners of Li Da’s eyes twitched. He couldn’t!

Since he couldn’t stop her, he might as well do her a favor.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you at the city gate in an hour. If you run away, your husband and children won’t have an easy time.”

Su Ying didn’t want to waste more time, so she turned around and headed to the busiest shopping street.

“Pastry, freshly baked pastry.” Su Ying passed by a bakery and was instantly attracted by the sweet smell.

She walked to the shop and licked her lips.

The shopkeeper smiled and went forward to greet her. “Sir, why don’t you try some? Our shop is well-known in town.”

Su Ying pointed at the crunchy peach biscuit on the counter. “Let me try that.”

“Sure. One moment.”

The shopkeeper cut a peach biscuit and passed some to Su Ying.

Su Ying stuffed it into her mouth. It was crispy and sprinkled with something on top. It was so delicious.

“I’ll take two of this, and this, this. Oh, forget it. Just wrap these all up for me.”

In 15 minutes, Su Ying emptied all pastry in the bakery.

The shopkeeper was so happy that her eyes could hardly be seen in her smiling face.

Su Ying walked into a dead-end alley with a big bag of snacks. When she came out again, the snacks were not to be seen.

She asked the bakery shopkeeper for directions to a rice shop. When she came out of the alley, she went directly there.

Su Ying’s eyes widened as she saw the white rice in the shop. White rice was in high demand in the post-apocalyptic world and became the most praised spoils of war by all sides. She had only obtained some from the enemy after winning a battle. She could never forget the taste.

“Can I try some cooked rice?”

No one tasted rice before buying. The shopkeeper wanted to refuse, but he swallowed his words when he saw Su Ying’s bailiff robes. “Sir, I cooked this year’s new rice for lunch. There’s still some left in the pot. If you don’t mind…”

“I don’t mind. Bring it.”

Su Ying took the bowl from the shopkeeper and finished the rice in no time, wanting more.

The sweet and soft white rice was fantastic!

“How much rice do you have? I’ll take it all.”

The shopkeeper thought he had heard wrong and only returned to his senses when Su Ying asked him to load the goods.

The news that a bailiff emptied an entire bakery and a rice shop spread through the streets in a flash. Many shopkeepers sent people to wait in front of their shops, hoping for this God of Fortune to come.

Su Ying didn’t let them down. She shopped and shopped like crazy. Everything that could be eaten or used was sold out.

Su Ying looked at the few hundred taels of silver she had left and walked into a medicine shop. She didn’t have any Chinese medicine in her inventory, so she decided to keep some, just in case.

However, she couldn’t buy all of the stock in the pharmacy. After all, many of the medicinal ingredients were very expensive.

When she came out of the medicine shop, she only had less than a hundred taels left. Su Ying couldn’t think of anything else to buy, so she walked back.

But when she passed by a livestock shop, she couldn’t help but walk in.

Not long after, she walked out and headed towards the city gate, satisfied.

“Princess Qi, please wait.”

Su Ying stopped in her tracks and turned around. She saw a hooded person standing behind her. The wide hood covered his face so that she couldn’t see clearly.

“Stop the drama. Just say what you want.”

The person paused for a moment before saying: “Princess Qi, you have done well. I have sent your news to the First Prince. The First Prince said that as long as you complete your task, he will send someone to bring you back to the capital immediately.”

Su Ying looked at him without batting an eyelid, but she couldn’t recall anything about him. Could it be that she lost some memory because she had transmigrated?
