The attic connects the past and present; I became a tycoon and got rich overnight!

Chapter 1 One door, two worlds!
In the 24th year of the Dazhao era, in June, it was early summer.

Chang'an Street in Kyoto was bustling with activity, and the roadside vendors were enthusiastically hawking their wares.
"Sesame seed cakes for sale, five coins each!"

"Rouge, rouge for sale! Rouge for twenty coins a box!"

"Old man, come in and have some fun, come on... Today a pot of wine is thirty coins."

"Cakes, all kinds of small cakes, ten taels of silver each!"

The people of Dazhao: ?
What is a piece of silver that costs ten taels?
Cake? What's a cake? Never heard of it!
The vendor in the shade was instantly surrounded by curious onlookers. Song You'an shook the long sleeves of the ruqun she had rented from the costume shop, which she was still not quite used to, and adjusted the wig on her head. She greeted them with a smile, "Everyone, we have freshly made cakes in various flavors. Would you like to buy one to try?"

The onlookers stared at the exquisitely packaged little item, their expressions remarkably consistent: a huge question mark on their faces.

What is a cake?

"Your little thing is quite well made, but ten taels of silver is a bit too expensive!"

"It looks like food, could it be a snack?"

Upon hearing this, Song Youan pointed to the knowledgeable gentleman and praised him, "This young master is clearly well-traveled and knowledgeable. He recognizes that this cake and pastry are closely related, yet it is different from common pastries!"

Everyone looked bewildered again.

Song Youan exclaimed, "Compared to the desserts we usually see, cakes have a more complicated process, more sophisticated ingredients, more diverse shapes, and a more wonderful taste!"

Single rhyme x4, Skr...

She said she was suited to be a rapper!

"Come on, this is just food. If it's worth ten taels of silver a piece, why don't you just rob someone?"

"That's right, the most expensive pastries at Full Moon Pavilion are no more than a hundred coins each!"

"Ten taels of silver is enough for me to host a banquet at the Star-Picking Tower!"

"That dark, burnt piece... could it be burnt?"

Curious people come and go quickly, and after the excitement, they disperse in a rush, all deterred by the price!

Song Youan argued forcefully: "Young master, this is called Black Forest cake, it wasn't burnt!"

This uses imported chocolate; the cost of just one piece is 40 yuan.

But her words were like a foreign language to the people of Dazhao; they could recognize the individual characters, but couldn't understand them when put together.

The stall was deserted for a while. Song You'an sat down on the ground, feeling helpless. She didn't even bother to straighten the three-pound headdress that was askew. She wondered if she had been navigating things too simply.

That's right, she doesn't belong to the first year of the Da Zhao era at all; she's a modern person from 2024.

Just yesterday, she planned to clean the suburban villa that her aunt had left her, but when she pushed open the attic door, she stepped into an abandoned yard.

She stumbled her way from the courtyard to the main street, dressed in modern clothes, like a wild woman who had stumbled into an ancient society, attracting everyone's attention.

She instinctively fled back to the villa the way she came, spent the whole night accepting the fact that the attic door could lead to ancient times, and this morning she had the idea of ​​becoming a black marketeer!
She was amazed by her own ability to accept and execute. In just a few hours, she appeared on Chang'an Street carrying twenty small cakes she had bought from a cake shop and wearing cheap makeup and hair from an ancient costume shop.

And it was confirmed that this dynasty was the most prosperous and flourishing era of the Great Zhao Dynasty, nine hundred years ago!
Despite the prosperity and the golden age, no one was willing to spend ten taels of silver to buy a cake from the future!

Perhaps she really set the price too high?
Is my business as a middleman going to fail before it even gets off the ground?
The crème brûlée had already begun to melt, and the mango mousse next to it was not to be outdone, as it had also started to leak juice.

Song You'an was heartbroken; these cakes cost her over five hundred yuan!

That's enough. Nothing in this world is difficult if you're willing to give up!

"Young lady, what are you selling here?"

Just as Song You'an was feeling disheartened and was about to grit her teeth and eat all twenty pieces of cake herself, a gentle voice asked from above her head.

She looked up abruptly and saw a beautiful and gentle woman standing against the light in front of her stall, with a maidservant fanning her beside her. "Hey, our young lady is asking you a question!" the maidservant urged.

Song Youan quickly stood up, supporting her swaying hair with both hands: "Miss, I'm selling cakes, they're delicious!"

"Cake?" Lin Sangqian frowned slightly, a look of confusion on her face!
Remembering the melting caramel pudding, Song Youan quickly picked it up: "Miss, you haven't tried this before, have you? You can have a taste, it's delicious!"

"Miss, we can't just eat food from these street vendors, can we? What if we get sick from it?" the maid asked worriedly.

Lin Sangqian stared at the adorable-looking caramel pudding, unconsciously licking her lips with the tip of her tongue; she wanted to eat it.

"Don't worry, Miss, these are all food-safe and absolutely clean and hygienic. There won't be any problems!" Song Youan said.

Lin Sangqian: "Okay!"

She took the small plastic spoon and, under Song Youan's hopeful and excited gaze, gently scooped out a piece and put it in her mouth.

The next second, her eyes lit up, and Song Youan's eyes lit up too!
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

"delicious!"

Lin Sangqian was even more excited than Song Youan. She had eaten at all the famous pastry shops in the capital, but she had never tasted such delicious desserts.

It's sweet, smooth, and has a crunchy, caramelized coating.

"You call this a cake?" Lin Sangqian asked.

Song Youan: "This one is called caramel pudding, but the others are delicious too!"

“I like them, I’ll take them all!” Lin Sangqian said.

Upon hearing this, Song Youan almost jumped up and screamed, then shouted at the beautiful woman in front of her, "Boss, you're so generous!"

Struggling to control herself, she spread her fingers wide and said, "Ten taels of silver per piece!"

"What?!" The maid beside her nearly popped her eyes out. "Why don't you just rob it?!"

Song You'an straightened her expression and said seriously, "Things are valued for their rarity. This cake is only available at my store in the entire Great Zhao. You can't find it anywhere else!"

“Alright, Hongcui, get the silver notes.” Lin Sangqian didn’t hesitate at all. Instead, she said to Song Youan, “Delicious things are worth this price. This cake of yours is better than any pastry I’ve ever eaten.”

Even the palace kitchens are far inferior!

Upon receiving the two hundred taels of silver notes, Song You'an felt like crying, but what she was thinking about was whether she could sell these notes as antiques for a good price when she got back!
It's a brand new 100-tael silver note from the Great Zhao Dynasty. It's so new, people won't think it's fake, will they?

She was agonizing over this question the whole way until the moment she returned to the villa through that door.

Ding!
A virtual screen instantly lit up in front of her.

My new book is about to launch, set in both ancient and modern times. I've tried my best to make it plausible, but all settings serve the plot. If there are any plot holes, please don't try to find them in reality. I promise this book is all about comfort and enjoyment. The female lead is incredibly smart and will never be taken advantage of!
The male lead will appear later in the story, and it's possible that he won't appear so the female lead can shine alone. I'm still undecided about it, but the outline currently includes a male lead.
